Hi, lovebirds. I’m Cassidy, a big-hearted type A and perpetual wanderluster. I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and your timeline off your plate. So you can savor the champagne, the getting-ready playlist, the dinner-then-dancing flow of it all. With a background in ballet and a decade of experience choreographing everything from stage productions to global conferences, I know how to keep things moving beautifully. Planning a wedding isn’t just about wielding clipboards. It’s about intentionally making space for joy- your joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding day wouldn’t have been as magical or extraordinary of a day if it wasn’t for Cassidy. Leading up to the big day, we had numerous calls and chats where she guided us through every step of the way. She made it all so seamless. I’m not quite sure how she does it, but I wasn’t once stressed through the entire planning process. We had multiple zoom calls and I knew she was always a text or call away (even though I tried my best not to bug her after hours!) Once the wedding day came, it all felt like a dream we didn’t want to wake up from. Cassidy and her assistant, Taylor, went above and beyond for us. When I stepped out of the bridal suite and saw the vision to come to life; it was breathtaking. Cassidy also has a few tricks up her sleeve. She brings her oh sh*t kit which has EVERYTHING you could possible imagine and then some. Thankfully, I didn’t have to use it, but I will say, she has something in there for every scenario. She also will bustle your dress and ensure there are no run away Bobby pins! She truly is one of the best and anyone would be lucky to have her as a planner. I not only got my dream wedding, but I also gained a friend!”

No wedding is the same; it never should be, and we always treat it as such.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Champagne Wishes helped us plan and execute our 75-person wedding in June 2025 in just four months – we’re not sure how we would have done it without them! Starting from our consultation, Katelyn was extremely personable and encouraging. We were of course nervous about our tight timeline, but she quickly made us feel at ease. She honored our vision, asked the right questions, and helped us be decisive during the planning process when we needed it. Sulli took over as our day-of-coordinator and did an amazing job memorizing our timeline and all the small details of the day. She managed parking attendants from CW and tricky traffic down our venue’s one-lane road with ease, ensuring our guests had a seamless experience. Both Katelyn and Sulli were great communicators, answering our many questions in a timely manner and handling all communication with the vendor team as we approached the big day. The best testimony of how well they worked together was that after the wedding we had multiple guests and even fellow vendors remark on how smooth and effortless the day felt. We are so grateful to the entire team and we highly recommend Champagne Wishes for all your wedding planning needs! As a side note, we also worked with CW for some day-of rentals such as gorgeous wooden benches for our ceremony, cocktail tables, and LED candles. They have a large, well-priced inventory and it was super convenient to get everything in one place. Definitely recommend taking a look!”

“My now husband and I used Emily's Day-of coordination services for our wedding this past March and we cannot recommend her services enough! Exactly 3 months out from our wedding, Emily ensured that she was highly involved with all vendors, finalizing information and ensuring that contracts were thoroughly reviewed. As a bride who DIY'd pretty much all of her decor, Emily was very communicative and we texted consistently throughout the 3-month period. Anytime I had specific questions about planning, or even questions about my decor, Emily was super responsive. Her attention to detail is next level!! There were so many small aspects that I had not even thought about, and wouldn't have thought about till the day of, had it not been for Emily's attention to detail. Even the timeline she had created for the big day was very detailed and ensured that every small detail was accounted for! She took so much weight off of my shoulders with all of her help!

“Fête du Jour Events quite literally made my wedding a fairytale dream! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, and every bride knows that’s nearly impossible!! Jennifer remembered every detail and was unbelievably organized through every step of the process. She sent thoughtful reminders that kept everything on track without ever making me feel stressed or anxious. Honestly, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t hire her. Jennifer is not only the most talented planner, but also the sweetest person. You’re simply not planning your wedding right without her! I’ll never forget waking up one morning in a total panic thinking I forgot something. I texted Jennifer immediately… Of course, she had already handled it. That moment sums her up perfectly: thoughtful, calm, and always one step ahead.”
