From the first time we reached out to him, he was communicative and friendly, answering all of our questions.

He was a great emcee and made us feel so comfortable, and most importantly, he kept the dance floor completely full all night! Our guests had a blast at our wedding and he was a huge part of that. Thanks again, Chris!

You can really tell Chris loves what he does from the level of detail he puts into his work, his honesty with you on timeline questions, and just how hard he works to make everything perfect. The dance floor was never empty and he kept my party dancing their butts off. Also - if you are debating on the up-lighting DO IT. It made the whole tent feel like a romantic setting for dinner and down-right the best party spot after food closed up. Chris, you made planning so much easier and the night a perfect blast. You were flawless. THANK YOU for a night I will never ever forget!

I chose Tracey as my wedding planner with high hopes despite no current reviews. Unfortunately, her…read morelack of reviews should have been an indicator of her skills as a planner. Tracey lacked communication with me, my vendors, my bridal party, and my family and was late on multiple occasions. Due to poor communication between a vendor and her, I had to change the venue site two days before my wedding, which was rather stressful. He had requested to assess the venue over three months in advance, and she told him no, never consulting with me to ask if he could come out. I found this out two days before our wedding. She was unable to handle simple tasks and failed to assert herself and take charge of her defined role. She stood in the background watching the entire weekend. I would like to call her an expensive guest, but even my guests contributed more to my wedding day than she did. My bridal party "met" Tracey at the rehearsal dinner. However, she attended but didn't speak one word to anyone and sat at the end of the table. On the day of the wedding, she stood in the background, didn't help solve any last-minute concerns, ate out food, didn't engage with anyone, then took our wedding leftovers home. We were happy to send food with her but so profoundly disappointed in her role over the weekend. A word of caution: after meeting with my vendors before and after my wedding, there was talk they would no longer do business with Tracey due to their poor experience and lack of communication. This may restrict the vendors for future weddings if choosing to work with Tracey as a planner.

I highly recommend Casco Bay Custom Charters…read more We sailed with them for a special family event in July 2020. We gathered to release our father's ashes at sea. The team we worked with to plan the event were flexible with our plans including location, departure, and the actual release.

We remember that she even asked us if we are excited to plan our wedding, which no other planners asked us! She didn't brag about what big names she had worked with or try to impress us by going over the top with her accomplishments - she was honest and straight to the point about her style of planning and what we could expect. We knew very quickly that she was the one with whom we wanted to work. From the beginning, Charity made us feel at ease and confident about our wedding. She answered emails in a very timely fashion with detail and encouragement. We actually ended up increasing our package with her to the next tier up. She was able to work with our budget when we decided to upgrade which was very considerate and kind. We really appreciated that! We also really appreciated her strong connections within the New England wedding planning community. She clearly has worked hard at networking and building strong and positive relationships with other vendors. Charity utilizes a great planning platform that was easy to use and fully integrated with her planning style. We were able to use it to help organize our own thoughts and notes while providing insight for her as well. It was useful for us every single time we worked on the wedding! Throughout the entire process charity brought a sense of confidence, strong professionalism, joy, and energy. When we met her for site visits she was incredibly professional and diligent and prepared. She made sure to follow-up on things that needed to be addressed and always made sure to close the loop on things left open. When our wedding weekend finally arrived, we had talked through different circumstances with her in case of emergency -- how we would want things handled if certain things arose or things went sideways. It was really helpful to have talked about those things with her beforehand so we were all on the same page. The morning of our wedding we did have some unexpected things come up and Charity handled them with grace and confidence. She was flexible and adaptable. She didn't make us feel bad or guilty when things went sideways. During the wedding itself, she went above and beyond. She was on top of everything and made us feel so calm. She had a smile on her face and was helpful answering our questions about timing. The entire day went smoothly because of her! Overall we could not be happier that we chose to work with Charity (and she chose to work with us!). She was kind, organized, professional, a great communicator, and detail-oriented. She made our wedding day everything we wanted and MORE!! She truly did help us "delight and surprise" on our big day.
