Kind Words
What people are saying.
Here's what real couples and vendors have shared about working with Cleopatra Weddings.
★★★★★
"I got married 8/8 and 100% agree with Caitlyn and Riley! Especially knowing they had a wedding the day before, they were both 100% invested and everything you said. I also heard about them from this group! If you're planning your wedding currently, hire them now!"
★★★★★
"Where do I even start?! Caitlin went above and beyond. By the end of our wedding, people were literally asking me, 'Who is she? Does she have a card?' This woman had a kit for everything [...] She truly worked, and having her there allowed me to actually be a bride and enjoy my wedding. If you need someone who can take charge, problem-solve, and keep things moving, book her."
★★★★★
"As a vendor I loved working with Caitlyn! She was very helpful and very organized. When weather turned the entire event timeline upside down, she was able to handle everything smooth, efficiently and come up with a creative plan so the Bride and Groom could still experience their vision, and all the guests were kept happy!"
★★★★★
"Tangerine Food Co. had a wonderful experience working with Caitlyn at our most recent event! Thank you for your great communication and organization!"
★★★★★
"Caitlyn was pivotal to our wedding day! She was very detailed and worked her buns off to get our room flipped from ceremony to reception, which was an all-in-one event center. [...] Caitlyn took control and handled it with grace! I cannot recognize her enough. If you're on the fence about who to choose, she's your gal!"
★★★★★
"How can I put into words what Caitlyn did for my new wife and I? She brought a toolbox! From assembling our altar to handling every one of our vendors, she was absolutely on the spot. [...] Boutonniere magnets are garbage, but Caitlyn springs into action with a plastic case of pins. In ten minutes, she has all five of them pinned in place and looking fabulous. [...] If your big day is coming, Caitlyn is a sure shot for a perfect, trouble-free wedding day. 10/10, 5 stars, whatever the scale is, she gets all the points."
★★★★★
"As the owner of Jo-on-the-Go Espresso Catering, I had the pleasure of working with Caitlyn when we were hired as a vendor for a wedding she was coordinating. She made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of time so my team could arrive prepared and ready to go. [...] I would happily work with Caitlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!"
★★★★★
"We had the opportunity to work alongside her as a vendor at a recent wedding, and I was genuinely so impressed! The weather had other plans, and the wedding had to be moved indoors at the last minute, which meant so many moving pieces and logistical changes. Through all of it, she remained calm, organized, and incredibly graceful. [...] Highly recommend!"
