The Perfect Plan

Connie and her team were absolutely FABULOUS! My day would not have been nearly as successful if I didn't have her on board. She even traveled to my venue after all the plans (including the date!) had changed. Her experience in the industry and willingness to work with everyone involved was invaluable to me and my wedding. Our somewhat large wedding (about 200 people) was a challenge for me to wrap my head around, but not for Connie. Every question I had she answered, every issue that arose she tackled. Attention to detail with her and her team doesn't even begin to describe how awesome she is. I wouldn't recommend anyone but her- she is the best!

Connie and her team were lifesavers. We did our tented wedding on a rental property so we had to put the entire event together by ourselves. It was so helpful to have Connie's expertise every step of the way. We used her as a day-of coordinator, and paid her by the hour to help us with some legwork in the home stretch; however, she felt like so much more than a day-of coordinator and she never made us feel like less important clients because we weren't using her entire service. Her assistant Kelly did most of the set up and coordination on the actual day and she was extremely competent. Also, if I could give more than 5 stars for value I would. We paid for the day-of package and then paid Connie's hourly rate for any work she did for us beforehand. I was in weekly if not daily contact with Connie in the last few months and and our final bill was only about $200 on top of the day-of fee. Her connections and knowledge of the Cape wedding scene alone are worth it. One very small criticism would be that Connie can sometimes be a little slow or less than thorough when answering e-mails. This is understandable as she is extremely busy, but could be slightly frustrating when an anticpated e-mail response only responded to the last question in my e-mail. Also some people are better on the phone and she seems to be one of those people. I like to do a lot of my communication by e-mail, which could sometimes slow down the planning process. Overall, one of the best services Connie provided was peace of mind, which was definitely worth every penny.

Connie and her team at The Perfect Plan did an absolutely unbelievable job with the coordination, staffing and supervision of our 3 day wedding weekend, to include the full set-up and break-down of 5 different events throughout the weekend. Since I live and work in New York City, I hired many of our wedding vendors based on recommendations and/or without any prior direct experience, including The Perfect Plan. Wow, did she and her staff well exceeded our expectations! I attend many high end events in NYC and never expected Connie’s professionalism and customer service to be better than what I’ve experienced here in NYC. I give Connie and the Perfect Plan the highest recommendation possible. There is absolutely nothing that they can’t do and went well beyond the call of duty to ensure that each event went perfectly. Looking back and I can’t imagine how we could have ever accomplished all that we did without the luck of finding the Perfect Plan. Our guests are still talking about them. I am available to absolutely anyone who would like more information on what a wonderful job the Perfect Plan did for our wedding. I can’t emphasize enough how every bride should consider hiring The Perfect Plan for all or part of her wedding coordination! It’s a chance things won’t go well, if you don’t. But your wedding will be 100% perfect, if you do! Connie and The Perfect Plan…THANK YOU!!

We were so pleased with your wedding day coordination service as you provided SO much more! You took our 'destination wedding' and turned it into a really well considered and detail-oriented day that we would not have been able to pull off on our own. Having never visited our ceremony and reception site, your expertise and contacts on Cape Cod meant that we felt confident of all our vendor decisions. You were available over the phone when we needed last minute advice here and there and threw in some extra goodies to make our day extra special. On the day, Caitilin was phenomenal! She handled the hiccups and kept us on schedule but was so pleasant and professional. We hired the Perfect Plan so that we could enjoy our wedding day and not stress out over planning long distance - and it was the best decision we made. Connie and Caitlin are lovely ladies and true professionals!

Working with The Perfect Plan on our wedding day (and the week leading up to the big event) was the smartest decision we made in the whole wedding planning process! Last-minute blunders, flukes and fiascos were taken care of before we even knew about them! We wanted our wedding to be an intimate event with lots of laughter and no worries, and that happened for us because of our wonderful "day-of" planner - thank you! -The Reids

Connie Clark helped us plan our wedding. We got married in our backyard and so this adds some complexity as to how we were going to get things done. Connie is extremely knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted and we got just that. Every vendor that she recommended was excellent and she was available whenever we needed her. She has an excellent staff and we were lucky to have Maria here all day and Emily here for half a day - they were excellent. They managed the day exactly how we wanted things to flow and were totally self-sufficient. I can't imagine the day being any better and my husband and I and our family and friends had an amazing time. I couldn't have done this without Connie, Maria and Emily and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event.

I worked with Connie for the duration of my engagement and I can't say how helpful and how awesome she and Angie were! They were always a step ahead of me and made everything so much less stressful. They have such great personalities and aren't like the typical wedding planners. Connie and Angie become your good friends and go above and beyond in everything they do. From the initial meeting to saying goodbye after the wedding, they worked to the extreme to make sure everything was exactly what my husband and I wanted. Words cannot describe how helpful they made my life and how stress-free our wedding was. It was so hard to say goodbye to them at the end. It was such a pleasure to work with the two planners and I would recommend them to every bride in the world! I highly suggest that if you're in need of help for your wedding, hire Connie or Angie to make your event truly spectacular and unforgetable! My wedding and experience with the Perfect Plan was unbelieveable and I highly recommend them to help with planning your wedding!

Connie was so great to work with. We hired the perfect plan for day of services for our wedding at a home in Chatham. It was so great to not have to worry whether or not all of our vendors would arrive on time and set up in the right location the morning of the wedding while my family and I were getting ready; and when it started to rain I don’t know what I would have done without Connie. She seamlessly moved all the guests from the beach to a dry location for the ceremony. I highly recommend hiring Connie for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

Angie Montale worked with me to create a wedding more beautiful than my wildest expectations! During our first appointment, I felt like Angie really understood the "flavor" and direction where I was headed with my wedding plans. We wanted something elegant but not stuffy. Celebrating the harvest season and focusing on the gathering of friends and family was a priority for us. The wedding was an exultation of love and natural beauty from start to finish-each flower arrangement from the front steps of the church to the dining tables at the reception incorporated berries, pumpkins, wheat, as well as beautiful flowers and ribbons. Angie coordinated with the florist to design details that I would never have thought of on my own! The rich appetizers, luscious dinner menu, and festive hard cider toast were all a result of Angie's imaginitive planning. Angie has a great repoire with the baker, caterer, florist, and reception staff. She took the responsibility of coordinating with these people, as well as the photographer and band, off my hands. I really had nothing to worry about on the day of the wedding. Proving that she is able and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, Angie repaired the heating units when the electricity failed by re-routing the long extension cords to alternate outlets herself! Throughout our planning, I felt she was always a phone call away, on weekends, evenings, and during the day. When phone was not convenient for either of us, we kept in touch over email and Angie was always very quick to repond, alleviating any stressful worries I might have conjured up. Simply stated, my wedding was wonderful because of Angie's expertise.

Connie at the Perfect Plan went above and beyond our highest expectations! We were so grateful to have her support throughout the planning process, and particularly on the day of the wedding. She was there helping us both before and during the ceremony and throughout the entire reception. She made sure that the day ran smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything, she took care of all of the details so we could focus on having fun and enjoying our guests.

I hired Connie for my "day of event service". She did much more than help me on the day of my wedding, she made the day "flow" exactly the way I imagined it. Not only did she double check all my vendors for me before the big day, but she met with me at the wedding sight to make sure she knew exactly how I wanted the day to unfold, so she could make it happen. She stands by her word and her work, and makes everything perfect, even when it doesn't seem possible! She is responsive, dependable, honest, knowledgable, thorough, and damn good at what she does. I couldn't have imagined the day without her. I would recommend her to any bride, especially one who thinks she can do everything by herself, like I did! Not in a million years! Thanks Connie

I live on Cape Cod with my now husband, but the rest of my family is out of state. I hired Connie to help me with planning and provide day of services, and I can honestly say my meticulously planned day would not have happened without her. In a year that Murphy's law (of what can go wrong will) prevailed Connie was there to help us pick up the pieces and pull things together. Exactly 364 days before our wedding my father was in a bad accident. I picked up and left and planning was on the bottom of my priority list as I worried about him. I thankfully had Connie to worry about the wedding for me. She helped me find all of my vendors (all of whom I loved). When I was slow to make decisions she kept in touch with them, and many of them actually left my date open for me. She was respectful of my situation but kept me on target, with bookings, and payments. My lengthy engagement turned into a rush plan by the time I was assured my father was going to be okay and I could turn my focus to planning. I brought Connie a couple of pictures and she helped me pull everything together, creating a cohesive theme. I was going for simple and elegant and that's exactly what I got. Before the wedding she confirmed all my vendors, she put together a time line for vendor arrivals and events, and she got vendors to agree to arrive when we wanted them, instead of when they wanted. It was so nice to be able to enjoy family and take care of last minute details instead of sitting on the phone the week before the wedding. Like the year leading to the wedding, the morning of was filled with little bumps along the way. It began before I was even awake with a broken zipper on a bridesmaid dress. A seamstress was on her way to sew my maid in by the time I arrived for hair and make up. My cell phone rang endlessly as rain changed my ceremony location, arbors needed to be moved, my mother got lost, and the sand for our ceremony went missing. I was able to stay calm and unphased as I redirected everything her way. Connie spent the morning running around, meeting vendors, assuring things were set up correctly, locating misplaced items, and confirming everything was moved to the rain location, while I sat and got pretty. Had I needed to tend to everything that needed to be done I would not have been ready on time, or even that day. When my bridesmaids were late getting ready, Connie helped me move my dress in the rain and got me dressed. When the strap broke after or first dance, she was there to pin me back together. When the venue forgot to bring out the cut cake for guests she took care of it, when darling husband got a headache she had excedrin. She kept us on a time line, and kept the day running smoothly. Family and the wedding party quickly learned who to go to, with any need, which meant they stopped coming to me. My in laws who did not understand why we hired a planner utilized her more than my family who insisted on having her, now they talk about how much they needed her and how grateful they are she was there. Now that the wedding is over friends and guests continue to tell me about all the other mishaps Connie fixed, while I oblivously and happily enjoyed my wedding day. I had a very attentive venue who also provided a coordinator. Connie took care of the things they didn't, she was on site before them, and she was present the entire time, and she made sure all the little details I worked on happened. I would highly recommend Connie for both planning and especially for day of coordination.

Connie loves what she does. I felt confidant that I had found someone who cared about my wedding as much as I did. She was a wealth of knowledge. Before I had Connie's help I felt completely overwhelmed planning the wedding, she was able to give me the information books were not able to offer. I am so glad I was in such good hands. During the wedding, I was so calm because I knew that Connie would and could handle anything. It was not my job, but hers and she was wonderful.

When it comes to your wedding day, you don't want to miss any detail. Leave it up to Connie at The Perfect Plan to plan all your details. She leaves no stone unturned to ensure your day is as perfect as you picture it. Most importantly, the day of your wedding, you can enjoy the day and let The Perfect Plan take control of the background items. A pleasure to work with !

I am not what you would consider your typical bride. I was not into the details and was more excited at the prospect of the wedding being over than of the planning or the event. However, Angie Montale did an amazing job of stepping in to my wedding when I was overwhelmed, disinterested, or without any idea. She understood my wants, priorities, and the overall tone of my day and helped me see that I could have exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn't quite sure what that was. Her patience, attention to detail, creativity, and ability to work within my tight budget and time constraints took the pressure off of myself and my groom as we somewhat floated along to our wedding day. Helping me make the big decisions, ie. cake, dress, flowers, colors, venue, she narrowed down the choices so that even I couldn't fail. Better still, she treated my wedding as though it were her own, not settling for anything less than perfection and allowing me the day all brides dream of...one with little stress and oh so much fun!
