    Cara did an amazing job at allowing us to have the most enjoyable and relaxing wedding day. Cara stepped in to help a fellow wedding coordinator who was originally booked for my wedding who had a family emergency. That already was such a kind thing to do. We met the day before the wedding and Cara treated my wedding like I had been her own client all along. The venue coordinators were really unimpressive the day of the wedding and if Cara weren’t there the day would certainly not have gone the way it did. She stayed all the way until the end of the night and did not stop all day! I think she felt how much we really needed her and completely stepped up to it. I’m so grateful that I booked a day-of coordinator! Throughout the whole day she simultaneously assisted with the immediate needs of myself, my husband, and our parents while also catering to all of the tasks I had asked of her ahead of time. It was the most beautiful wedding i could imagine and my family and I give a lot of the credit to Cara for that!

    Cara & her team are absolutely amazing. I couldn’t recommend Caristia Events enough. From the early stages in the planning process to the day of details and timeline, Cara made sure our entire planning experience went without a hitch. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives - all thanks to Cara’s seamless execution! Thank you!

    We were so thrilled to have Cara’s guidance leading up to our wedding day! Cara brings a great deal of knowledge and experience alongside a true intuition for event planning and day of coordination. Her skill set coupled with her calm, caring demeanor made our day truly unforgettable. Cara was always available to answer questions and to calm my nerves during the planning process. She is also extremely knowledgeable regarding vendors in the southwestern PA area. Cara’s presence on our wedding day allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. We highly recommend her for wedding and event coordination!
