Casey was hands down the best choice for our wedding! She went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect and make our vision a reality. She was so well prepared and anticipated every/any possible hiccup! Her day of bag was Mary Poppins-esque, anytime we needed something she had it! Beyond that, her expertise and knowledge helped guide our conversations with vendors and helped us make informed decisions throughout our planning process. Truly, it made our vendor selection and pre-wedding meetings so smooth especially since we were not living in town! We highly recommend selecting Casey as your wedding planner!

Best DOC out there! Casey was such a treat to work with and made my wedding week as relaxing as it could get and so enjoyable! I gave her all of my decorations and she transformed our reception into an extra gorgeous venue. A day I’ve only dreamt about! She was so calming to me during our day when things went off schedule or awry and I was stressing. She resolved everything and some things without me even knowing. She is so flexible and will offer to help you with anything you need. Absolutely amazing!

I do not have enough positive things to say about Casey!!! She was a LIFESAVER and truly kept me sane and relaxed on our big day. After our final meeting with catering/venue, it was clear that I couldn't do this alone and needed extra help to make sure our wedding went smoothly and that I was stress-free. Casey made sure all of that happened and MORE! She was calm and relaxed, yet took charge and made sure everything was A+ behind the scenes. She was kind, flexible, and extremely communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding and made sure that our schedule was in perfect shape! She also thought of all of the "little things" that often go unnoticed during the chaos of the day, and everything was perfectly organized. Most of all, she was compassionate, friendly, and so easy to talk with. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU CASEY!!! You turned a stressed, frazzled bride 1 month before the wedding into a cool, calm, and collected bride on her wedding day!!

If you're reading this because you're considering hiring a day-of-event coordinator, then look no further and book with Casey at Save the Date. Casey helped coordinate my wedding and was such a pleasure to work with and our event would not have been as successful as it was without her! From phone calls figuring out details weeks before the event, to ensuring everything went smoothly the entire day of the wedding, to reaching out the day after to see how things went -- she was there every step of the way. Casey has such a great attitude that made me feel like I had a friend by my side on the wedding day, she has a calm demeanor even in stressful situations, she's very responsive to emails (or texts or calls), and is still very professional and clearly has been in the industry awhile as she knows how to get the job done and make an event a complete success. Highly recommend!

Casey was absolutely amazing! We would not have had our wedding without her. She literally took ownership of all the details, and as a guy it was all the stuff I didn’t know about or think of, and I’m a planner. She was so fun and easy to work with, she organized the rehearsal, set up the decor and venue, as well as took it down. She set up our donut station and so much more. She’s well connected and was able to get into our venue early and just completely made our day stress free. Without her, I honestly think the wedding would have been a disaster. I cannot recommend her enough, and if you don’t think you need someone to do all this, you do. Friends, family, and most of all you, want to enjoy the day. Let Casey make it EASY. So happy we chose her!

Casey is the absolute BEST.
I met Casey in the very early stages of planning. I had close to nothing planned; I just knew I wanted a day-of coordinator. I also didn't know what that job entailed! Let me tell you, even if you are planning everything yourself, YOU NEED HER!
Along the way she helped me find vendors and gave suggestions when asked. She frequently checked in on me as the planning went on to make sure I was doing okay (how sweet!). As the big day approached we worked together to figure out what her role would be and what tasks she would handle. There was no task to little or too large! The day before rehearsal we met to exchange all of the decor, place settings, signage, you name it. She assured me she understood my vision and would execute accordingly.
-She attended our rehearsal at church. It was comforting to know someone else (other than the church coordinators) knew the flow of things.. because I definitely forgot.
-She was there with the wedding party getting ready early in the morning! I was nervous about the guys getting ready on time - she was there to keep them in check. There were also a lot of last minute things that came up and she was right there to take care of it! She made sure everyone got to the ceremony with everything they needed.
I DO NOT REGRET THIS DECISION.
-Once we all made it down the aisle, she jetted over to the reception venue to setup. Everything was perfect! And just how I imagined. She greeted us at the venue after photos and lined us all up for the Grand March (with champagne!).
A few highlights: my bustle broke, thanks to my groom for stepping on it. Casey was right there to sew it back up! Also, I didn't pack backup shoes - Casey ran out to buy me a pair of flip flops.. and TWICE for one of my bridesmaids. Lastly, Casey was there til the very end - she packed up all of the cards, gifts, extra decor, signage, etc and dropped it off the next day. AND with an iced coffee! Wow. Huge relief to have someone take care of that for you at the end of a long day!
She is a gem. That is all.

We are so fortunate to have come across Casey. It seems like there isn't anything that she can't do! She even helped to pick up our cake from the bakery which is a service that many in her field do not do and is so valuable. She has great knowledge of the field and great taste in decor and set-up. We had a floral snafu with getting our flowers on time from our vendor. Casey took the initiative after our rehearsal to pick up of the missing flowers from a local grocery store for us. Last but not least, Casey is a very friendly and positive person and we could not have asked for a better person to help us with our wedding. Thanks so much, Casey!!!

Casey was simply outstanding; she was extremely responsive, supportive, and professional. She reached out to our vendors beforehand and helped to coordinate all of the different "moving parts" involved in our 330 person, Catholic wedding (which involved three buses, gift bags for three different hotels, and trolley tours of downtown MKE during the time between our ceremony and reception, to name a few!). My husband and I have had many conversations in the 3 weeks since our wedding about how happy we were to have found her. I truly couldn't have imagined executing our wedding day without her support. Could not recommend her more strongly.
