  I want Sheena to plan my life

  Sheena is a queena, okay?! She took the lead on my traditional Hausa Nigerian ceremony and my white wedding (two separate days, two separate events) and absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was such a pleasure to work with, I booked Gian for day of coordination but they offered so much more than that. Sheena was there to answer all of my questions, calm my nerves and (of course) keep everything running smoothly. I have a very large very diverse family and she fit right in and had everyone right where they were supposed to be. She truly went above and beyond and I am getting a little bit emotional as I type this. Her assistants Korrena and Ashley were also wonderful. There were so many moving pieces and I didn't have to see or deal with any of them. What a gift! I don't have enough good things to say about these ladies, and the fact that it is a woman led business was icing on the wedding cake! Both of my weddings were actually perfect and I couldn't have done it without them. I will be forever grateful to Reneille, Sheena and the whole team

  Organized and friendly!

  If you're planning a wedding, do not hesitate - hire Gian nowwwwww! When I had been told that wedding planning could be stressful, I had no idea what I was in for.
  Luckily, with Gian, the whole process and the whole day was perfect.
  
  Unless you have experience planning weddings (which many brides/grooms do not), you don't realize how much detail has to go into the day. The last thing you want to deal with while in your white dress is getting everything situated with vendors, setting up displays and making sure everyone is where they're supposed to be.
  Both Reneille and Ashley helped me when my florist bailed 2 months before the wedding and then when we found out there would be a cruise ship blocking my ceremony/reception view.
  Living in New York, it was incredibly difficult to have any idea what to expect of the new changes with the venue. Ashley did a walk through with the venue event manager and reassured me we could angle the ceremony and still get terrific views (and we did!)
  Ashley worked so well with all my vendors! She was always available via text and provided great advice during the stressful week. The timeline was perfect and she adjusted so well to the changes that came along the way.
  
  I really wanted our wedding day to be a stress-free and fun event for the bridal party as well as my family. Gian help make that happen as we didn't have to worry about anything.
  
  My only regret is not hiring them for the full wedding planning package!

  Reliable, Professional, Knowledgeable, Fun, Friendly, and Worth Every Damn Penny!

  Thank you Reneille and Cake & Lace!!
  
  My husband and I hired Cake & Lace as our "Day of Coordinators" for our July 2019 wedding seeing as the wedding was in Tacoma, WA and neither of us reside in state. We thought it would be great to have a local who could provide insight and a helping hand for our big day. To be honest, I didn't know what a "day of coordinator" was, but Reneille did a great job explaining the package and how she and her team would allow me to truly relax and enjoy my wedding instead of stress all day. Hiring Cake & Lace was definitely one of the best decisions we made.
  
  Considering the name of the package purchased, I thought my main interactions with Reneille and her team would be right before the wedding, but Reneille started helping me as soon as we hired her -- approximately 6 months before the wedding. During those 6 months, Reneille recommended numerous wonderful vendors, including the most important ones -- hair and make up! This was a HUGE relief for me to know I had an excellent team to make me look my best on my big day. Some vendors even gave us a discount because of Reneille. Additionally, Reneille was ALWAYS available via text -- and I mean always; early morning or ridiculously late night.
  
  The week before the wedding, Reneille was in constant communication with all the vendors (and there was a lot!!) and helped ensure they were aware of the day's plans and their roles. There was a very detailed timeline that went out far in advance, and Reneille was a great point of contact so I didn't have to worry about contacting each vendor individually. I was busy preparing to travel from Chicago to Tacoma in addition to a million other tasks, and it was great to know that Reneille was taking care of the vendors. The team is EXTREMELY organized and this helped prevent a lot of confusion and/or issues before and during the wedding.
  
  I think the moment I knew Reneille and her team were worth every penny (and more) was when they helped resolve major issues with our wedding hall the day before our wedding! My hall was not exactly the most accommodating hall, and there were many hiccups with them along the way, but the most frustrating was literally the two days before the wedding when they surprised my husband and I with new information regarding the timings our vendors could come in. Long story short, I began to stress, but Reneille told me she would handle it. Between a few phone calls and emails, Reneille had it all resolved and I did not have to worry about dealing with the hall coordinators any more than necessary. That was a huge relief because they weren't very pleasant.
  
  A major bonus of working with Reneille is just how warm and fun she is. During our many, many conversations, it was like I was talking to a friend. She is a great listener and would provide her ideas or suggestions only after listening to my vision. Often times, her suggestions made the vision even better! She has a great eye for detail and has the contacts and connections to make the vision a reality. I used her as a sounding board more times than I can count, and she was a major help in making it all come to life all while having a great time doing so. Like I said Reneille is very fun, personable, knowledgeable and kind and I truly loved working with her. I would HIGHLY recommend her and her team to help make your wedding dreams into a reality. I cannot thank them enough for taking the wheel so my husband and I could enjoy our big day.

  Outstanding team- our event ran perfectly!

  Thank you Reneille for being the easiest decision to make on our company Halloween party. Once we made the decision to hire a day of coordinator, there was no doubt in my mind that you and your team would be the ideal partner for our event. Thank you Diana for your tireless efforts leading up to the event, for your advice and support and for your full commitment to our insane vision. I outlined our vision to you and your team, and you took it and ran with it. You casually nodded when we discussed hanging creepy dolls, covering half of our decorations with fake blood and blanketing the venue in spider webbing. Beyond executing our creative vision, you ran the night so expertly, that our team and myself were able to fully enjoy the evening. That was one of our biggest goals, so thank you so much for making that a reality.
