About Cathy's Elegant Events, LLC

Cathy's Elegant Events, LLC

Hudson Valley Wedding Planner and Design Company

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

With over 50 years of wedding planning experience between us, we're a top-notch team in the Hudson Valley, recognized with numerous awards. Our varied backgrounds have equipped us to plan flawlessly and handle unexpected situations with ease and perfection.

Description

This is the perfect package if you don't have a lot of free time, would like help and guidance throughout the planning process but would like a professional to handle the details and arrangements. This package will allow you and your fiancee to enjoy the engagement period and put your energy into the fun and exciting part of the planning process. Go ahead, relax, and let us do the heavy lifting.

You can hire us for either Full or Partial Planning + the cost of travel. We would require at least 1 site visit in the immediate future for preparation purposes and then of course the travel required for the wedding itself.

Full Design is included in both our Partial and Full Planning Packages. After your first tour of the Venue, we help with planning and suggest vendors. You can reach us anytime by email, Zoom, phone, or text. We'll meet every two weeks to check progress and plan. We design sketches and 3D models for your wedding. This gives you a preview of key elements. We handle all details, including budget, bookings, and progress.

The ideal package if you have already begun the planning process and/or have flexibility with your schedule. You would like professional assistance with design, vendor referrals, professional wedding advice, staying on schedule and keeping everything organized throughout the planning process but can manage a handful of the bigger ticket items on your own.

    I've worked with Cathy at events in New York City and upstate New York, at venues both rustic and elegant. She's so easy to work with: organized, calm, friendly, prepared, impossible to ruffle. When I work with her, I just feel like I'm working with a great friend. She has such profound maturity and cheer - she's perfect for the wedding industry, which requires a steady hand for nervous couples. She is the best and I am always excited to work with her!

    Working with Cathy and her team is thoroughly a joy. Before the wedding day, she is extremely thorough, responsive, and clear in her communications which makes the wedding day itself a total breeze. I have worked with her through torrential downpours, managing venue flooding and making large adjustments on the fly - all with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She is willing to put in the work to ensure the best possible wedding experience for her couples even in the face of inclement conditions. Beyond her work ethic is her attention to detail. Cathy cuts no corners when it comes to accomplishing your vision. From managing your vendor team to your reception styling and more, her industry expertise helps bring all of your wedding elements into a cohesive, flowing event that represents you. Make no mistake, Cathy is one of the best in the biz and worth every single penny. This is your sign to book her now!

    As a florist/decorator I love working with Cathy and her team! She makes the whole process easy and enjoyable. She has all the info I ever need leading up to the wedding & responds quickly. The day of the weddings that I have worked with her go smoothly for myself, the couple and the other vendors working the wedding. I would and do recommend her as often as I can as I know she is wonderful at what she does and makes the process enjoyable for all!!! Thank You Cathy!!!
