All Occasions Event Planning

Cari was great and was worth every penny! She was available any time we needed her, even though we only booked her for month of/day of. She went the extra mile and did things I didn't even know we needed. I would gladly recommend her to any future bride!

Very friendly and knowledgeable

Cari was AMAZING!!!!! Our big day would not have been the same without her!!

Let's just say I would not have had my dream wedding if it wasn't for Cari. This was a vow renewal for me and my husband and growing up in california I knew one day I wanted to have a ceremony in my home state. I really needed the help of someone who knew what to do. She was the only recommended vendor at the Mandalay Beach Resort at that time and I was sort of nervous having only one choice but she is all you need. After speaking with her, she put my mind at ease. I wanted a wedding on the beach and she is the expert in getting that done. I didn't even know where to begin in getting the permit but she got it all done for me. Since I was planning all of this from the east coast her past experience and expertise help made my california beach wedding a reality. She has great taste and was always so accomodating especially for a bride that was planning everything out of state. We only met four days prior to the day and she always took everything in stride even when our flight was cancelled and we missed a day of planning. She was very reassuring when things were getting crazy and let me know that all my vendors she referred me to were top notched and so not to worry. She was ever the professional and very detail oriented to make sure that my day went without a hitch. I was very relaxed on my day and enjoyed every moment. She was very helpful at making my wedding ceremony and reception so beautiful. Because of all her help, I got a hawaiian themed beach wedding, a great luau menu buffet with an open bar, hawaiian entertainment and a karaoke lounge room all within the confines of my budget. Great job Cari! I will always remember what you did for me, my husband and family and friends.

It was a pleasure working with Cari for our wedding. She is well organized and easy to work with and does a fantastic job at keeping everything on schedule.

Cari is amazing - As a bride - I could not dream up a better person to of planned my wedding. She put me at great peace and allowed me to focus on my day and actually enjoy it. Her team wentbeyond the distance to ensure that my wedding was perfect and I mean perfect. Her ideas are endless, she is beyond detail oriented, her team shows up on time and makes sure all of the little details are perfect. Then to top it off - she makes sure that everyone else (Vendors) are perfect. If you want to enjoy your wedding, have peace of mind and have everyone raving about how perfect everything is - than hire Cari!

Cari and Emily did a great job!

Cari is great - She helped us so much with our rehearsal, wedding, and any questions I had before the big day. She worked with our budget and provided the level of service we needed. Cari was great at understanding our needs and knew just what to do. She becomes a great friend during the entire process and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day -- she handled it all! I am completely confident recommending her to my friends and family for a wedding or any other event. I'll just have to think of another event now so I get to use her services again! Thanks Cari!

Cari is the best! my wedding was amazing and i left everything all up to her! all my guests had great things to say about the ceremony and reception. thank you Cari for everthing

Cari was the best thing that could have ever happened to us. Prior to meeting with her, my dad didn't think that having a planner was really that necessary.. within just a few minutes of meeting with her, he said he couldn't imagine doing the wedding without her. She answered every question we had, found vendors last minute for us when ours fell through, and was a huge support throughout the entire process. Every vendor told us that we were incredibly lucky whenever we told them Cari was our planner-everyone had nothing but compliments about her. When I broke my ankle 2 weeks before the wedding, Cari stepped up and took care of anything that needed to be done that I wasn't able to take care of, our wedding went perfectly, the ceremony was beautiful-even with 7 kids in the wedding party, she kept everything right on track!! I honestly can't imagine our wedding without Cari as part of it-by far one of the most amazing women I have ever met!! Cari-thank you for everything that you did.. I wish we could get married all over, just to get to work with you again.. we miss you!!!!!

Cari is amazing! I never anticipated that I would even have a wedding planner thinking that I could do it all myself since we were planning a small, simple event. I quickly realized that I was going to need help given that I lived 2+ hours away and all friends/family lived out of town as well. I immediately clicked with Cari's personality over the phone and after meeting her I knew that I was in good hands. She quickly understood my taste and vision and was always available to me when I needed advise and suggestions. I was surprisingly calm on my wedding day knowing that Cari was handling everything down to the very last detail. If I ever have any other event to plan, Cari would be my first call. I can't say enough good things about her.

I hired Cari with All Occasions Events mainly because I had been in so many weddings where the bride and bridesmaids ran around doing stuff for the wedding causing a ton of unecessary stress. Cari was so amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. Although I only hired her for day of she was always quick to answer any questions I had during the planning process. She directed us well during our rehersal and came through for some last minute crisis'! On our big day there was a serious time crunch and she handled everything flawlessly. My husband remarked afterwards how touched he was by how much she cared about all of the details on our day. I was able to relax knowing someone who is just as type 'A' as myself was in charge. In retrospect I wish I would have hired her for the full planning. She is amazing!

Cari was very helpful, especially with last minute changes or items that needed to addressed. She was so helpful with picking up last minute items we had forgotten and really made the wedding run smoothly. It took so much stress off of us for those final days especially. Also, the timeline she created was really helpful for the vendors as well as for me. Thank you Cari for participating in our wedding and helping make it the best day.

Cari is a great person who is very easy to get a long with. She is also very helpful!

We hired Cari at short notice and she was immediately on top of things. She gave us great suggestions and was so easy to work with. She was very good at what she did, asking important questions before the wedding and learning the names of family and the wedding party. Our wedding day flowed well with only one glitch for which she came up with a solution. Everything seemed to be ready and on schedule at each point in the day, and all this with minimal clarifications/reminders from her. Cari was very much like a good friend who didn't mind working through our wedding day!

Hiring Cari was by far one of the best choices we made while planning our wedding! Even though we hired her for month-and-day-of coordination, Cari was amazingly helpful throughout our entire engagement, offering us great advice and really sharing in the excitement we felt about our upcoming special day. Cari is fun, professional, organized, and knowledgeable. If you hire her, I guarantee you will be very happy that you did!

Cari did a wonderful job with my wedding. I only booked her for the day of but she wad extremely helpful with things that came up throught the whole planning process!

Cari at All Occasions Event Planning was incredible for our wedding - I can't imagine the day without her! Cari was available early on in the planning process to provide feedback, advice & assistance via email and phone and proved indispensable in helping us decide on some of the finer details of the day. She has a lot of experience with a variety of weddings and so her professional knowledge often helped us know what would and wouldn't work. I also liked that in addition to familiarizing herself with all the vendors before the big day, Cari also took the time to learn the dynamics of our family & bridal party. This made a lot of the weekend much smoother & was commented on as a nice touch by several people. We did have some vendor issues & guest situations on our wedding day but for the most part I was unaware of them because she would handle everything per the conversations we'd had during planning. It took a lot of trust to put my wedding day into another person's hands after we spend so much time planning it, but I couldn't be more pleased that I choose Cari for the responsibility!

You gals are the best!!! You made that much more fun and less stressful! :) We enjoyed our wedding day and didnt have to worry about the lil details because you were taking care of it all.. Once again thank you!!!!Always,Kimmie & Omar OteroMarried 5/15/2010

Cari is amazing, she goes above and beyond. Great attention to detail. She put every detail into place that i wanted and asked for and helped everything come together. She also helped to put out the flames of a few issues with vendors. I highly recommend her for any event you have although she did my wedding. In my opinion she doesn't charge enough. To give you an idea of her dedication to making her clients feel taken care of she went 40 miles out of her way which she wasn't paid to do and wasn't asked (she offered) to go pick up my wedding dress the day before the wedding (the bridal shop had made a serous boo boo they were fixing last minute) and went and got my dress and dealt with the bridal shop and had it waiting for me to put on at my venue. This made the weekend so much less stressful. She's Amazing! The day of was as stress free as you can get for the day of your wedding. LOVE HER
