“Cathy was instrumental for making our wedding as perfect as it was. She has tremendous attention to detail and was able to take care of many last minute preparations. I loved the attention to details that she put into every element of our wedding, from having the perfect little flower box for our “Petal Tosser” to the gorgeous table layouts at the reception. Her creativity made my wedding even more beautiful than I would have imagined it to be – who would have thought of the flower chandelier? I would recommend Cathy for any bride-to-be that's looking to have the perfect, low-stress wedding day that every girl deserves!”
–Diana & Eric (October, 2010)“Cathy & the CWAO Team: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for all you did for us. My biggest struggle was letting go and letting someone else take over. You did an amazing job! You and your team worked magic with set-up and especially all the day of arrangements. Thank you for making sure everything was taken care of and making our day so special!”
–Nicole & Adam (September, 2010)“Cathy, first of all, I couldn't have done it without you! You've been a wonderful support! You've made everything come to life! Without you or your assistants, this never would have been the venue we envisioned it to be. Not only that, you pulled out all the stops and we can't thank you enough for that. You are amazing with your creativity and your organization. You've made this the most stress-free event, but you've also brought to life the vision that we imagined and wanted right from the beginning. You respected every single wish and made our wedding a dream come true! Our tremendous gratitude to you!”
–Caroline (Silen) Deedo (August, 2010)“Cathy, we can't thank you enough for everything that you and your team did to make our day so perfect! THANK YOU!!! The seating chart was amazing and the butterflies (place cards) were a beautiful added touch! Cathy paid close attention to the fine details, right down to the name plates and table settings! The ballroom was STUNNING and the day was totally stress free and PERFECT! ”
–Steph & Derek (August, 2010)“Cathy and Kori were the most helpful organizers that any bride could hope for. Not only were they able to pick up last minute materials that were required, but were a big help in dealing with vendors, including the church, reception venue, DJ, etc. The agenda that Cathy drafted was fantastic and she was great in fitting in all the components that I wanted in my wedding. The value of their services was phenomenal. I would definitely recommend Cathy and Kori of Creative Weddings for any bride, whether they planned their wedding themselves and only need it implemented for the day of, or the full meal deal.”
–SueAnne & Allan (August, 2010)“Cathy, you've done an amazing job planning this event with Caroline. I couldn't have asked for better organization! From the groom's perspective, it's been entirely stress free. Everyone told me how stressful and worrisome planning a wedding is supposed to be be, but I didn't have any of that. You've done an amazing job and I really, really thank you for all you did. It was absolutely wonderful!”
–Dr. Ryan Deedo (Groom) (August, 2010)“Cathy helped me and my step-daughter to plan her garden-themed wedding at the Calgary Zoo. With Cathy's ideas, support and creative problem solving we pulled off a lovely and memorable wedding. In spite of a few hiccups (thunderstorm necessitated the ceremony being moved indoors, emcee being hospitalized two days before the ceremony, and venue microphones not working) Cathy, and her assistant, Muriel, handled all with kindness, professionalism and a sense of humor. The day was a lovely tribute to Kelly and Dan and their families and to her Mother who had passed on. We have three sons yet to marry and when they do we will avail Cathy of her time and talent again! Thanks Cathy and Muriel!”
–Claire Macdonald (July, 2010)“Cathy provided day of wedding services, and was easy to work with. She helped execute the vision I had for the reception decor and helped ensure everything ran smoothly up to the dinner. [Note from Cathy - We were only hired to handle "Day Of" up to about one hour into the reception.] It was nice to know that somebody was ensuring the details were getting done, which made it easier to enjoy the day. She was quick to respond to emails and any questions, which was also nice.”
–Penny & Pete (June, 2010)“Hi Cathy, this is just a short note to thank you for all of your efforts in organizing Ryan's and Caroline's wedding. It was absolutely wonderful to come to this joyous occasion only having to do very minimal preparation. The ceremony, the reception and the dinner were spectacular. Your eye for detail was truly impressive to all that were present. It was hard to improve on the natural beauty of the location but you certainly accomplished this. The decoration in the great hall was truly regal. Once again Marilyn and I sincerely thank you for a job well done and fully understand why Ryan and Caroline entrusted you to organize their very special day. Should you ever require a glowing recommendation in the future, we would be very pleased to provide it.”
–Marilyn & Court (Groom's Parents) (August, 2010)“Dear Cathy: Thank you so much for your expertise and special touches that helped make our wedding a day of perfection! Your dedication to seeing that our wedding went off without a hitch made our lives easier and was extremely helpful. The passion you have for wedding planning is undeniable. Muchas Gracias!”
–Kristin & Colin (May, 2010)“Dear Cathy: Thank you so much for all of your help, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We really appreciated having you and Kori there – we were able to relax knowing that you had it all handled. We had a magical wedding day and it just wouldn't have been the same without you to keep us on track and coordinated. Please feel free to use us a reference anytime! You have our two thumbs up.”
–Melanie & Michael (February, 2009)“Jeff and I are very happy with our selection of wedding planners. We chose the day of service and Cathy was just amazing. Cathy was available any time we needed her prior to our big day and gave us many great ideas for our reception. When our original videographers cancelled two days before our wedding, Cathy was right on top of it and found us a new one the same day! She was also great at finding us musicians to help our ceremony go exactly as we had imagined. On the day of our wedding Cathy was amazing!! She made sure we all had a schedule of the events and helped get us organized. We were very grateful for all of Cathy's help. She even helped with clean up at the reception!!!! We are still amazed at all of her help she is still currently doing (sorting things out with our photographer and videographers) and it's been almost 2 months since our wedding!! Thank-you Cathy!! You did an amazing job!! We are very thankful for all of your help!!!”
–Trisha & Jeff (October, 2009)
