Catrina Maria Designs

Rated 5.0 I can honestly say that when I look back at my wedding day, it was truly perfect and I have to give Catriona Arcularius 99% of the credit (I had a little something to do with it!) From our first emails to phone chats and in-person meetups, Catriona was nothing but a joy to work with. She helped me take all of the ideas I'd had swimming in my head and make them a reality. She listened to what I wanted and was always conscious of my budget and tastes and helped me create a simple, yet beautiful and personalized wedding. Her extensive wedding planning and design experience helped to make all the details of our wedding unique, always beautiful, and most importantly, representative of who were are as a couple. I loved working with Catriona and am actually sad that it's all over. The wedding planning process was almost as fun as the wedding day itself! If I'm ever in need of an event planner again, I will most certainly be calling Catriona again !

Rated 5.0 Always fun to work with, organized, smiling and willing to make anyone's day a success. You rock Cat! :)

Rated 5.0 Catriona is literally as good as they come. She made herself available to my wife at all times thorugh out the process, and came through in a pinch, again, and again! My now wife and I had some particular challenges when the original facility we booked for our wedding went bankrupt three months prior to our wedding. Cat was able to not only help us find an even better venue and caterer in the same area, but was able to make the event a truly amazing! To top all of this, she helped keep the budget down with all of our vendors. Without her, our big day would not have come together like it did. In summary, Arcularius Events was the most worthwhile investment we made toward our wedding.

Rated 5.0 Catriona Arcularius is an amazing wedding planner. She helped us with the pre-wedding planning as well as the day-of coordination. She also referred us to wonderful vendors who went above and beyond for us. I think the money we saved (or the extra services that were thrown in) made working with Catriona even more amazing. Many people thought we spent thousands of dollars more on our wedding than we actually did because of Catriona's creativity and imagination. On the day of our wedding we were both relaxed. It looked AMAZING and people can't stop telling us how special/beautiful/fun our wedding was. If you are looking for a stress-free and totally YOU wedding, Catriona is the person to call. She was there during little last-minute crises and was a true joy to work with.

Rated 4.0 We used Catrina as a partial planner- a lot of positives, just a few negatives PROS: - very enthusiastic and up for challenges! - flexible with timings/schedules - great at putting out "day of" mistakes/problems - VERY prepared - has great ideas- and will help you edit/develop your ideas as well - great attitude- makes a HUGE difference the day of, when every is stressed CONS: - difficult to locate a few times during wedding day- especially needed something in middle of ceremony and could not find her- pretty important for wedding planner to be accessible to bride during more important parts of wedding day - Out of all the vendors (photo, video, caterer, florist, DJ, makeup/hair)- we only went with two of her recommendations- and those were the two we were the unhappiest with- in terms of price/product - Did not stick to out budget- need to be very adamant about this- made a few comments alluding to our professions/what we "could" afford- need to be very clear about what you "want" to spend Overall- Catrina and her team were great and an indispensable part of our day/planning- most of the cons could probably be avoided with a lot of clear communication. Would definitely recommend her!
