Understanding the Couple's Vision

Catherine was an amazing day of coordinator! In fact, she really went above and beyond and helped us a ton in advance of the big day. She is excellent at communicating and gave us pointers and potential hurdles that we didn't see which helped us avoid bumps later on. Ss a MOB, I was able to relax and truly enjoy this day because Catherine had it all under control. She is polished, professional but also warm and approachable; she was an integral part of our daughter's wedding day. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

Highlighted review.

I reached out to Catherine to help with some day-of coordination for my wedding at Le Chateau in South Salem, NY this June. From the start, Catherine was incredibly accommodating, ...

communicative, down to earth, and easygoing. She was very detailed oriented throughout the process and very flexible and willing to make sure we had everything we needed to have a wonderful day. My mom, sister and I all got to work with her leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding - we were all very impressed. She helped set up the ceremony and reception exactly how I had imagined and was very helpful at the end of the night as well. I definitely recommend working with Catherine for your wedding/event coordination!

so kind and helpful from the very communication. Throughout our time working with Catherine, we were able to have multiple calls with her to discuss timeline and go over any questions and concerns we had and Catherine was wonderful every time. When we had ideas of things we wanted to do for our wedding but didn't know how to execute it, she had ideas and helpful feedback! She thought of things to do that would help us that I would have never even thought of. On the day of, Catherine and Liliana helped set such a wonderful and fun tone. When my husband and I both entered the venue at separate times, Catherine and Liliana were there playing music and welcoming us in! It helped set the tone that a fun day was ahead. Throughout our entire wedding, they were such life-savers when it came to keeping on schedule, helping with tasks and also keeping us in good spirits! I will continue to sing their praises to everyone I know. If you are looking for a day of coordinator, go with Socrates' Daughter. They will make you feel like you've got another person in your corner :)

Where do I begin with Catherine? First, we wish we could rate her above 5 stars because partnering with her to organize our wedding was crucial to its outstanding success. Catherin...

e possesses extensive knowledge of event planning, from coordinating vendors to managing timelines. When we met with our vendors, such as the restaurant, venue, and rental companies,she guided us by asking the right questions, and even took charge of many negotiations and arrangements. This allowed us to focus on the most meaningful parts of our day. She was consistently responsive, diligent, and ensured everything was handled in a timely manner. Catherine went beyond expectation by kindly lending us certain decorative items and essentials for the event day. Beyond her professional expertise, she has become a trusted friend and confidant. We are incredibly grateful to have partnered with her. If you’re planning your wedding or special event, look no further, you won’t find a better partner. Thank you for making our day so special Catherine!
