We hired Carmen to help organize our backyard wedding during COVID-19. She did a great job and was able to organize the tea ceremony as well. A backyard wedding has an incredible amount of unforeseen logistics and she was able to manage everything. She introduced us to an amazing designer/florist (Nous Design) and cater (Elle Cuisine).

My partner and I want to thank Carmen for her services. She was helpful and although we went in another direction, she was reasonable and we can tell that she's diligent. Out of her recommendations, please be careful of Konrad Czystowski of Freshsox - a videographer. He's tried to take advantage of us during this pandemic. When we let him know that our wedding would be cancelled, he tried to raise our rate by a significant amount. His terms are also not customer friendly, we worked with Carmen to negotiate his rate. We do not recommend giving too much money and make the mistake that we did, which was provide 50%/2500 deposit. Also initially, he wanted us to pay the full balance 10. days before the wedding, before seeing his work, so we negotiated to pay him after we receive the product. These were all signs that Konrad didn't think about the customer, but we looked the other way. Carmen was helpful in the negotiation, but we just wish we didn't meet Konrad. We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. He seemed reputable, but had no reviews, now it's really come back to bite us as he's holding onto our full deposit and is now ignoring us or communicating erratically. Konrad hasn't followed his own contract, which says he should return our money if he can't perform due to an Act of God, so now we have had to spend extra time and money to retrieve what we are rightfully owed. Therefore it is really important to us that we share our experience. Although Carmen was helpful, this is one recommendation if she ever provides to watch out for.
Carmen was the BEST!!! My twin sister and I had a double reception with one wedding on the Friday and a second wedding on Saturday, which made for a very, very busy wedding weekend! Carmen was so incredibly amazing to work with. Her knowledge of the business was phenomenal. She was so bubbly and sweet no matter how hectic things got. She was so detailed oriented and thought of all the little things that wouldn't have even crossed our minds. She was great at keeping us all on track and has a way of getting things done without ever feeling pushy, rushed or frustrated, even when we were lazy! She understood our vision from the get go, especially the importance of blending the three families and working with all the different wants/needs. She was extremely responsive, at all hours of the night... its hard to believe she ever sleeps. We can confidently say without Carmen this wedding would have never come together. I will be recommending her to anyone I know getting married now or 20 yrs from now! We are beyond grateful for the time we spent working with her, the beautiful wedding that came of it but more than anything we are thankful for the friendship we ultimately developed with her. Don't think twice about who you want your wedding planner to be! There is no one better! Nikita & Angel
I have worked with Carmen many times on Weddings and Photoshoots, she is a true professional at what she does and she is very personable and organized. I've seen her handle Wedding Planning with ease and be there to serve her Couples to ensure their Happiness on their Wedding Day! I can honestly recommend Carmen for your own Wedding or Special Event!
I first worked with Carmen at the Palais Royale for a wedding. The couple hired us separately (Carmen as the wedding planner, me as the MC and DJ). As soon as I met her, I knew she was an expert in her field. She was incredibly organized, would give me the heads up for each main part of the event, cued me at the right time, ensured I had all I needed, prepared all speakers before they had to speak, and made the event seamless. I was so impressed. She's also a genuinely nice and kind person. I am always so happy when we work together because I know I can rely on her as an event planner and I can concentrate on my role as a DJ and MC. Keep up the great work Carmen!
