Denise is a wonderful person and has a great sense of humor. We were laughing and having a blast the whole time. She also knows her stuff and has a keen eye. I'd recommend The Persnickety Bride to anyone looking to find their wedding dress.

If I could give this review five more stars, I absolutely would!…read more The Persnickety Bride has been a dream from start to finish. As a curvier bride, I was definitely intimidated to start wedding dress shopping because of the sizing industry, but Denise and her team completely changed that for me. They were so welcoming, so kind, and honestly made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. When I went to try on dresses, I ended up finding my dream dress! Their selection is beautiful, thoughtfully curated, and not at all overwhelming. The boutique itself feels homey and personal, which made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, everyone I worked with went above and beyond. Cecile helped me find my dress, and Emmy guided me when I picked it up and chose my veil--they were both absolutely wonderful. Patient, kind, and genuinely excited for me, they made the process so smooth and enjoyable. I cannot recommend The Persnickety Bride enough to any bride--whether you're in Fairfield, New Haven, Putnam County, or even farther away, this is worth the trip. You simply won't find a better experience than this one!

This last experience is my first visit since it's transformation to an event venue. The above noted qualities about place certainly remain. And it had a nice dance floor and setting for a DJ we had brought in for the event. It was a fun event. But the food and service seemed to be a bit meager in its presentation and quality and availability and the event was curtailed early (supposedly because of misunderstanding ) and so in my judgement these factors took away from the overall experience.

Deborah Minarik came highly recommended to us by Crossing Midnight, our wedding band who we trust…read moreimmensely. From the minute we reached out to Deborah in June of 2020, we knew we needed to work with her. She was unbelievably responsive, but most of all kind and compassionate. Within 20 minutes of speaking with her, we immediately booked her for Day of Coordinator services for our May 1, 2021 wedding. Throughout Fall 2020 and Winter 2021, Deborah continued to be responsive and listen to our worries and concerns. When we made the decision to proceed with a 50-person "micro wedding" on May 1, 2021 and postpone our 300-person reception to March 2022, Deborah was right there to assure us that everything would work out. Leading up to May 1st, we were assigned Kristin as our Day of Coordinator. Kristin met with us and helped to organize our wedding day itinerary, which still involved a decent amount of logistics even though we were still only having 50 people. She followed up with all of our vendors leading up to May 1st to confirm details and timing, as well. Both Deborah and Kristin showed up at our rehearsal on April 30th and even though we were meeting them in person for the first time, it felt like we had known them for years. They were prepared and knew the details of our mass in and out. On the morning of May 1st, Kristin texted us when she was on her way and asked if we needed any last minute items. As soon as she arrived, though, is when we saw the value of having the Deborah Minarik team with us in action. Kristin swooped in and ensured that every single detail (big and small) was handled accordingly. She checked in on the groom, dads and groomsmen to make sure they were all ready, made sure the bride, moms and bridesmaids had all eaten enough and set up all accessories for detailed photos. Kristin worked closely with our photographer and videographer throughout the day to make sure that every photo we wanted was taken and even held the cathedral veil and train throughout countless photos to ensure the perfect shot was taken. When we arrived at our venue, Kristin checked to make sure everything had been set up as requested. She even went to great lengths to find a banner we thought had gone missing and needed for a picture, and even offered to drive back to the hotel to get it (thankfully it ended up being under the sweetheart table). Not once during the day, did we stress about logistics. Kristin was a calming presence and we were so lucky to have her with us. Having her there throughout the day allowed us to be worry-free and truly enjoy every single moment. Hiring Deborah and her team was one of the best decisions we made and we are so thankful that we'll get to work with them again in March 2022. We highly recommend booking them ASAP!

Janet was incredible before and at our wedding. Not only did a friend of ours who is also getting…read moremarried soon ask us for her info while we were still at the wedding, but even the bridal attendant at our venue said that Janet was wonderful, which was especially meaningful to us since she also told us that often the day-of coordinator and bridal attendant end up stepping on each other's toes a bit, which was not at all the case here. She kept everything and everybody on track, and there wasn't even the slightest hiccup of any kind throughout the entire day. Our parents initially weren't entirely on board with the idea of a day-of coordinator, but relented after the day went so smoothly. We were all able to fully enjoy the wedding, and be guests at our own party!

Guests did not seem to believe that requests or other things were addressed properly, however that complaint was not about the wedding planner or staff. The couple hired their own caterer-which had nothing to do with the wedding planner and is not associated. Folks have complained that Cinderella For A Day "walked out" and was "unprofessional", however, from the moment Cinderella arrived at the event they were met with an inebriated, belligerent and verbally abusive father of the bride. Throughout the day the situation worsened and culminated with the father of the bride and his son attacking several of the staff, including the owners husband, my husband and I myself was punched in the throat by the father of the bride. Karen and jay-the owners of the company called the police and evacuated all of Cinderella For A Day employees for their own safety. This event was a tragedy for the bride and groom, at the fault of the poor woman's father and brother. Hopefully the father and brother have enrolled in a 12 step program for sobriety and anger management.

Wait staff unprepared and did not know how or what to serve. Lost or ran out out of beverages - adult, children & water. Reception seating not available for all guests.

The character of an individual or organization really comes out during adversity. The character shows this is a business that should never ever serve another client.

He put together the most amazing weekend 40th birthday party for me to celebrate with friends and family, including many who traveled internationally to be here.

We loved the live music for the first day and then Shiran brought in one of his DJs for the last night of festivity so we got to dance the night away. I can't say enough - we loved talking with him to plan all the details and hear his ideas and we were blown away by the actual weekend. Thanks so much Shiran and co.!

She was easy to follow up when I had forgotten and very communicative during the times details needed to be finalized. When I was indecisive, she always knew where to step in and provided the perfect solution. We played around with the ideas of rose petal holders and a huge bow for our reserved seats during the ceremony, and she custom made them for me!! A huge perk as well is that she has a diverse inventory of decor that added the cherry on top to the ambiance of our venue. The dedication and passion she has towards her work is inspiring. At the end of the day, she cares how you feel about every decision you're making which made it easy for us to trust that everything would turn out beautiful. When we look back on our wedding day, it wouldn't have been half as perfect as it turned out if we didn't book Belle Petal Events.
