Cece was fantastic! Not only was she incredibly professional and skilled, but she was fun and down to earth. Her expertise and diligence took care of every little detail to the point where all I had to do as the bride was show up and enjoy myself! I never had to wonder what was next or what was going on because Cece was there all day giving me cues, while allowing me to enjoy myself. Also, my husband and I chose to serve Krispy Kreme donuts instead of wedding cake, and we wanted to make a giant donut tower. Cece was a total rockstar and stacked every single donut that day and made a BEAUTIFUL tower....it honestly stole the show! Her communication was excellent throughout the whole process and she definitely helped deescalate my mother's anxieties and chaos in planning the wedding once she came on board :). Please hire her, she is worth it!

Right from the jump, I knew Cece was going to be amazing to work with, and it only got better with each interaction! I’m a pretty hands on person who hates to ask for help, but also procrastinates til the cows come home.. quite the combination. I let Cece know that on our first Google Video Call and she made sure that I answered all vital questions for vendors, had contracts signed and made all payments on schedule. When my fiancé met her, he got off the call and said – “Oh my god. She’s amazing. What are we paying her? She deserves more. She deserves all of it!” Her past work experience at a wedding venue in STL has fostered many connections and relationships with vendors in the industry. When in a pinch, she had vendors on speed dial ready to assist. Cece is down to earth, organized, professional, wants the wedding day to be completely unique to the couple and does everything in her power to make that happen – all with a smile on her face. I mean…can you ask for more? Cece makes it look so easy! We had many changes and challenges leading up to our wedding and Cece helped us navigate and adjust seamlessly. We downsized from 300 guests to 100, because we wanted to make sure our guests were safe and felt comfortable, she found us someone who would stream our wedding for our virtual guests, helped up changed our dinner plans from a Rosalita’s taco buffet to Rosalita’s Family Style (seated by household – Cece’s amazing suggestion) to better suit covid regulations and we even had a florist (that I found prior to Cece.. what was I thinking!) that went completely MIA. With all this adversity, you would think we’d both be pulling our hair out. Not. At. All. The same day we decided to find a new florist (aka 3 weeks out from our “I Dos”.. yikes!), Cece had options and quotes ready for me. It ended up being such a blessing in disguise because the flowers from Sister’s Floral Design Studio are GORGEOUS! I say ARE because they’re all over my house right now & I’m working with a shop on Etsy to preserve them into small pieces of jewelry for future kiddos.. it can be the “something old” that they tied into their bouquet as they walk down the aisle on their own wedding day. Anywho.. I digress, but had to share that hot tip. For rehearsal, Cece corralled our crazy wedding crew into their positions, helped everyone feel confident and comfortable in their roles and even stopped by the rental tux place when she learned that my dad was missing his tie! Her assistant was very on top of things too, which is no surprise. When your family, wedding party and even guests who show up early on your wedding day compliment your planner, you KNOW you’re in great hands! Even my make-up artist, Heather (Heather B. Beauty.. AMAZING, and so is her team!), who has worked with a ton of different planners in the past, complimented Cece! She hadn’t worked with her before but was very impressed with her organization and communication and hopes to work with her again! If you’re even slightly considering a wedding planner – meet with Cece! Her packages for plans are super flexible and her set up/tear down is amazing. Even on the day of the wedding, she made sure all family/friends were texting HER and if any issues/questions popped up, Cece went straight to my Matron of Honor so I wouldn’t have to think about anything other than marrying the man of my dreams and celebrating the best day ever with our nearest & dearest. 10/10 Recommend.

Is there an option on here to give more stars for a review? Five stars is simply not enough. For starters, I had to make my own account for this website so I could write a review. Cece is an incredible person who is unbelievably talented at what she does. For a guy who got married during March Madness season (wasn’t the original plan), I feel it’s necessary to make a basketball reference to put things in perspective. Cece is ranked #1 in the country for all wedding planners. If there was a tournament for wedding planners, she is the overwhelming favorite who I’d put my money on to win it all, hands down. From start to finish, every step of the way, Cece goes above and beyond of what is expected. Still shocked and in awe thinking about what she brought to the table. I am truly grateful for all the hard work and incredible effort she put into our day to ensure it went perfect. There is absolutely no way our wedding day would have been as amazing as it was without Cece by our side. Plain and simple, there’s nothing else to consider or anything more you need to think about, go with Cece.

We hired Cece with less than TWO weeks until our wedding day. I sincerely don't want to imagine what our day would have been like had she not been a part of it. Every time I reached out to Cece to inquire about her availability, packages, or had questions, she would respond immediately with the information I was seeking. Once we decided to move forward, Cece jumped in and took the wheel. She asked the questions I never thought to consider, and created solutions to problems before they could even arise. We planned the wedding of our dreams in my parent's front yard, with our immediate family. Cece coached me without ever telling me what to do. She listens; hears her clients and takes action effortlessly. As a bride who attempted to plan, replan and almost cancel during COVID, Cece encouraged me to carry on and helped solve problems without me ever realizing there were any! (like the unexpected wind that destroyed our original idea of a drapery enclosed inner table). The day of my wedding was sincerely stress free, I was able to enjoy the small and big moments, and move throughout our ceremony and dinner as if I was a guest myself because of the fluidity and support that Cece provided. Her professionalism and sincere love for what she does had everything to do with why I can't stop thinking of our special day, and wish we could relive it over and over again. Cece feels like family, and treated me like her own. Cece you are a magic maker!

Cece was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day run smoothly! She is very detail oriented, and will think of the smallest things to make the day even more perfect! She is very reasonably priced and I would 11/10 recommend! If you're on the fence of booking a wedding planner, do it with Cece, you won't regret it!

Cece was fantastic! I’m a bit of a control freak and being the mother of the groom it’s not really “my” day, but often times I feel that “someone” needs to take charge(and they don’t). Cece accomplishes the task of orchestrating everything with grace and ease. She’s like everyone’s favorite aunt or a best friend, you didn’t even know you had! I was so impressed with her professionalism, her care and consideration for the bridal party as well as the guests. She truly takes the wedding to heart from start to finish. Cece is also a bit of a chamaeleon, in that I think she could handle some of the simplest and most complex weddings.

Cece helped organize our big day through all the planning. My wife and I had no idea what we were doing but her calm nature and her expertise made decision making and planning easier. The day of the wedding my wife was able to be worry free because Cece already had everything and everyone in order! If you're looking to help keep your wife at ease and allow the day to be perfect, Cece is a great fit for you!
