She checked in with me numerous times leading up to the wedding and made sure I had all the information I needed so everything could be organized for the day of. She was always responsive, and during our phone calls she took the time to go over every detail with genuine care. At my rehearsal, she helped my entire wedding party feel confident and prepared, and I always felt comfortable leaning on her when I wasn't sure how something should go. On the wedding day, I was completely stress-free getting ready with my bridal party because I knew Daniellee was handling everything behind the scenes. She took care of small issues at the venue without ever involving me, allowing me to fully enjoy my day. At the end of the night, she even stayed to pack everything up so that pickup the next day was effortless. Anything I asked for, she did with a smile, and she made me feel so supported throughout the entire process. If you're considering hiring a day-of coordinator, it is absolutely worth it, and choosing Daniellee is a decision you won't regret. She was truly worth every bit!

I can't recommend DG Events more highly! I hired Daniellee as a day-of coordinator for my July 2024…read morewedding at SPAF in Saugerties, NY. As an event director in my everyday life, I was convinced that I didn't need a day-of coordinator, but I couldn't be more thankful I decided to work with Daniellee. When we connected ~6 weeks before my wedding, Daniellee did a great job stepping in and managing the plan I had already put in place: getting a handle of my timeline, vendors, and vision for the day and identifying the areas where I thought I would need the most help. My wedding was semi-destination (I'm NYC-based) and Daniellee's knowledge of the Kingston/Saugerties area was super helpful. We were lucky to have access to our venue on the Friday before the wedding to do some decorating and host our rehearsal and Daniellee was more than willing to work with our schedule and dive into help us with decorations and running the rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, Daniellee did everything in her power to ensure I was informed about everything that was going on but never had to stress about the details. She did it all-- from picking up bagels for the bridal suite to putting together healthy and delicious snack trays to assembling 15 eucalyptus wreaths-- she even talked me off the ledge during a freak pre-ceremony rainstorm! She also did a fantastic job managing a complicated shuttle schedule, ensuring all my guests arrived on time and had a safe journey home. Last, but certainly not least, Daniellee is an incredibly kind and energetic person to be around. She checked in on my husband and I throughout the reception, made sure a breast-feeding guest was taken care of and, when our polaroid wall was looking a little thin, ran around at the end of the night taking candids and selfies. Multiple friends and family members mentioned how great she was! Daniellee is a pleasure to work with and I encourage you to book her for your wedding if you can!

Every single request paid…read morefor and requested by the bride and groom and brides family-those who paid for the wedding-was met. 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. Could be worst example of any event I have been at in my life. Do not hire Cinderalla4aDay under any circumstances.

Hiring Angela as our Day of Coordinator was one of the best decisions for our wedding. She and her…read moreteam helped our big day to run smoothly which allowed us to enjoy the evening to the fullest. From creating a schedule that fits for our venue to google docs with all important information, Angela made sure everything is covered. A couple weeks before the wedding she handed the coordination with our vendors, many of which she already knew thanks to her years of experience. On our wedding day, Angela, Shaye, and Haley were on top of everything!! From directing vendors to setting up everything exactly how we discussed it, directing guests, checking in with my wife and I regularly, to the smallest of details like hanging ear protection headphones over the highchairs for our little guests. We would not have wished for a better team to have on our side that day! If you are planning your wedding, hire Angela and her team at Elite! They are absolutely amazing!!

Unfortunately, I do not recommend Angela of Christofora Events. My daughter hired her for the day…read moreof coordinator because it was required by the venue. Two weeks before the wedding, Angela recommended that my daughter change her choice of tables telling her why her choice would negatively impact the success of the day. She also discouraged my daughter by telling her the venue hadn't done too many weddings. We found Angela to be inflexible. It was raining the morning of the wedding. The venue was willing to wait until an hour before the ceremony to determine whether it would take place inside or out. Angela tried to pressure my daughter 5 hours before the ceremony to make a decision. Thankfully Angela's unnecessary pressure was ignored, the rain stopped and my daughter was able to have the outdoor wedding she wanted. At the reception, all guests were seated and ready to begin food service. Angela insisted they stick to her schedule and wait even though guests were hungry and the kitchen was ready to serve. My daughter asked the venue manager to begin food service which they did. While the bride was eating her salad, Angela went over to her and scolded her for not going through "the chain of command." Finally, Angela left the reception, leaving her assistant behind, without ever notifying the bride. Angela should have been a source of comfort and encouragement for the bride. Instead, it almost seemed like she was going out of her way to add stress.

Open bar (and nobody…read morefell down drunk as I could see!), reception with tasty hors d'oeuvres including a pasta, taco and shrimp station (not just cheese and crackers but those were yummy too), beautiful decor, and the tastiest filet Mignon I've had in ages for an entree. Also coffee and breakfast tidbits when you left for the night. What I appreciated about this, my first time, at the Chateau is that they thought of everything. The place was beautifully decorated for NYE, the service was impeccable for the amount of people (the bartenders were killing it!), the rest rooms were grand, there were plenty of places for photo ops, the DJ played fantastic oldies that you could actually dance to, and everyone was so nice. My only criticism would be that the event was too long, started at 7 I believe and ran through 1am. Could have started at 8 or 9 for my liking. Really delightful.

We got married at The Château in February and while the venue itself was beautiful, I'm extremely…read moredisappointed with how a serious issue was handled afterward. Per our signed contract, appetizers were supposed to be served to our guests -- they were not. This was a major part of what we paid for and an important detail during our wedding reception. After bringing this to their attention, I was offered $1,500, which I did not agree to accept, and I was told the owner would personally call me back to discuss the matter further. It has now been several months, and despite multiple attempts to follow up, I have received no callback and no resolution. What has been most upsetting is the lack of accountability and communication regarding the negligence of the maître d' and the handling of our concerns afterward. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and while mistakes can happen, ignoring your clients after the fact is unacceptable. At this point, I am publicly asking for an owner to contact me directly to properly address this situation. I truly hoped for better customer service and professionalism from a venue with this reputation.

I keep telling people who ask how our wedding went that it was literally like someone took my wedding dream, ripped it out of my head, and threw it in a field. That really isn't an over exaggeration, and it is in such a large part thanks Magdalena and all of her wonderful recommendations. She put us both myself and my husband at such an incredible level of ease throughout the entire process and TURST me, once you go through the wedding process you will understand how incredibly meaningful and important that is. I can confidently say that had she not been on our team, our wedding would not have happened as seamlessly and magically as it did. The day after the wedding everyone was raving about how amazing, helpful, kind she was. I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to know and work with her and it is an experience I won't soon forget. Her kindness, positive attitude, and work ethic, are so genuine and I hope we have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!

Hands down, it is my favorite show of the year (actually it runs twice a year). The exhibitors are so diverse making for an antique show that appeals to everyone. The folk art is especially unparalleled. Even if you don't purchase anything (which I always do), just seeing such beautiful pieces is a wonderful experience. As amazing as the antiques are, the show management is professional, helpful and go above and beyond. On one occasion, I purchased a large apothecary and when the shipper ultimately cancelled (he was supposed to pick up and deliver the second day of the show), Frank Gaglio, the show's actual promoter delivered the piece for us! I have attended shows for thirty years and have never experienced a promoter going above and beyond like that. His help was invaluable and I cannot say enough about not only him, but his entire staff. I am counting the days until the RHINEBECK show resumes.

When we called Frank to request a refund in early July, he was nasty and rude to my wife. In the phone conversation, Frank stated that he had to keep $200 of the $750 payment and would refund the difference. When my wife challenged this assertion by Frank, saying that he was unable to provide any service for the $200, Frank stated "How else can I stay in business?". This level of disconnect from his fellow man (or woman) tells me that Frank Gaglio does not have what it takes for me to EVER use the services that he offers. We encourage all others who have received this treatment from Frank Gaglio during the worst health crisis of our lives to share their experiences.

Also great options for both outdoor and indoor ceremonies, so you've got your rain contingency covered. Erica, the owner and doer-of-all-things, was the best to work with.

The caterer she works with, Chef Chris, is awesome as well and the food was absolutely delicious. Erica is constantly improving the grounds so I imagine there are even more wonderful creations to behold than when we were there. As soon as it's safe to gather again I hope this wonderful business can reopen, I can't recommend Erica and SPAF highly enough!
