Cassandra Cass Coordinating

I can’t say enough good things about Cassandra. We had our wedding at the Mt. Hood Organic Farms on June 7, 2014 and it was a fairy tale wedding. :)
From my first emails and phone calls with Cassandra, I could tell she was very experienced, very organized, and just a really nice person. She answered all my emails promptly, gave very good recommendations, and was very thorough. And her website has so much great information on it! We had just moved to Portland a few months ago, so I didn’t have any friends I could get wedding vendor recommendations from, but Cassandra’s ideas and recommendations made wedding planning very easy!
We didn’t have time to meet with Cassandra in person before our wedding, but we did have a great Skype meeting with her a couple weeks before the wedding to discuss the timeline, décor, etc. It was obvious that Cassandra could really envision what I was talking about and how I wanted the day to look/​feel like. She gave good recommendations on how much dessert to order, where to place different décor and tables, where to display the cake, desserts, the band, the DJ, and the harpist. And she gave clear instructions on when/​where to bring the drinks, the deserts, and the décor. We ended the meeting feeling very very confident that Cassandra would make our wedding wonderful.
At the wedding rehearsal, I was so impressed at how great Cassandra was at explaining all the roles of the usher, the welcome table greeter, and the wedding party. My wedding party included 8 kids (ages 4 – 10) and I was worried that they wouldn’t have the attention span to comprehend their «jobs». But Cassandra was so nice and patient with them. The kids were perfect the day of the wedding!
On the day of the wedding, I organized my décor the best I could and had to hope that Cassandra would be able to carry out my vision. AND SHE DID! She executed everything better than anything I could do myself or even imagine! I had lawn games, a candy bar, lots of trinkets and goodies on each reception table, some activities on my welcome table, a dessert table, an ice cream table, a potato sack race, photo booth, chalkboard signs everywhere (btw, Cassandra has the BEST handwriting! haha), and a tandem bike display. Everything was perfect. The wedding felt fun, warm, loving, casual, and elegant-​exactly what we hoped for.
The day was magical. The groom and I never had to worry about a thing (and we had A LOT of vendors Cassandra had to coordinate). Cassandra kept everyone on the timeline and everything just seemed to flow effortlessly. My guests were all enjoying themselves and many said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! :)
Cassandra is also SUPER thoughtful. I also had 3 dresses to change into… and instead of making me go all the way back to the cottage to change, Cassandra set up a makeshift dressing room (complete with a mirror and dress rack) for me to make quick dress changes in a back room of the Apple House. That was awesome!
Our day wouldn’t have been as magical without Cassandra!
