Reviews of Cape Cod Celebrations (Event Planner)

Erik Burns

Jamie and her team at Cape Cod Celebrations are an absolute dream! Stop looking and just hire her. I worked with her for 18 months and I loved every minute of it. We used her partial package since I'm a control freak, and it was perfection. She knows the Cape, in our case Provincetown, and all the good, the bad and the ugly with the vendors, venues and options of how to plan out your special weekend. Her expertise, guidance and advice was exactly what I needed to perfect our wedding day! Especially since I was planning the wedding from Chicago. The entire day was completely seamless thanks to Jamie and her 2 support team members. Everything flowed exactly as planned and there were barely any questions or input that was needed from either of us! I literally could not have dreamt of things going better during the process and for the actual day. Ben and I already joke about having a 5 year vow renewal out there just so we can hire Jamie again to plan it. You will not be disappointed!

I owe the success of my amazing wedding to Jamie and the team at Cape Cod Celebrations! I don’t know what I would have done without Jamie, and I already miss working with her. I am so grateful to have had her to help me with every step of my wedding planning process. I was looking for a full service planner to help since we were planning the wedding long distance and I didn’t have much family on the Cape. From my first phone call with her, I knew Jamie was going the be the best! She was by my side (figuratively and sometimes literally) through every step from start to finish. I could go on forever listing all the ways Jamie helped me and made the planning and execution of my wedding perfect. What I loved most about having Jamie was that she always made me feel like no question was to small and every conversation we had was the most important part of her day. I would honestly sometimes forget she had other clients then just me! I am so lucky to have worked with such amazing people at my wedding (which Jamie helped me find), and we all had the greatest time together! Jamie is not only a fantastic and creative event planner, she is genuinely the nicest and most joyful person! I am so grateful for all the work and effort Jamie put into going above and beyond to help me and my family. I 100% recommend and encourage you to contact Jamie to assist you with your wedding, or any event planning needs. You will be so happy you did! I can’t wait to catch up with here again soon!

We were very fortunate to have used Cape Cod Celebrations (in particular Stephanie Diaz Eldredge) for the planning and overseeing the wedding of our daughter on 10.01.16 in Truro, MA. The wedding was held at a private home in Truro which required some very creative planning due to the rather inaccessibility of the property. The event exceeded our expectations (despite a soaking rain) and all of our 160 guests were extremely complimentary. We can recommend Cape Cod Celebrations without reservation for your next event.

Jaime and Stephanie were both phenomenal at helping us with our day-of coordination. We highly recommend them!!!

We had Stephanie as our Wedding Planner for our September Wedding on the beach and we would NOT have been able to do it with out her! My only regret was not finding her sooner. She was amazing, organized, made me feel like her only client and thought of so many small details that never even crossed my mind. Everything was set up on our wedding exactly as I envisioned and I have her to thank for that. She was also a wealth of knowledge when it came to selecting all of our Cape Cod vendors. I would highly recommend Cape Cod Celebrations if you're getting married on the Cape and cannot thank Stephanie enough for all she did for us this past year, we will never forget our day!

Jamie, and the whole team at Cape Cod Celebrations, were the "special something" of our wedding planning (and celebrating) process. I'll get into specifics, but if I were to identify our favorite thing about working with Jamie it's her "calm" at every juncture. It was a year to the day from our first meeting to our wedding day and I struggle to think of a single point where Jamie was anything other than calm, proactive, and brilliant. Now the specifics- first off we're two dudes getting married, and we had more opinions (really strong ones) about what we didn't want than what we did. What we wanted to do was build a whole new wedding experience- no "here comes the bride", no bouquets being tossed, no "for the very first time Mr. and Mrs." Our vision was to throw "a traditional gay wedding, the way they've always done it!" which is a funny joke, but Jamie's job was to figure out what we meant by that... and she did. Jamie brought great ideas and innovation to the table to solve logistical issues in our wedding day timeline (the walk from the ceremony location up to the reception was 8 minutes, how do we entertain the guests while they're walking... Jamie's idea was to have signs made up about milestones in our relationship: first date, when we got a puppy, the first Thanksgiving together, vacation, engagement, etc... They were such a personal, impactful touch that our guests didn't stop talking about!) When it came to vendors, I found Jamie to be the advocate that we didnt know we needed. She adopted our vision for the day and ushered us through the process with each vendor to bring it to life. When it came to the caterer, after our wedding we were worried that we'd made a mistake (the deposit was paid, the contract signed, etc...), Jamie heard our concerns and took them to the caterer. They rewrote their recipes and adjusted the preparations. They nailed it- it was the better version of a meal we would have served at our home. Personal and perfect.

Working with Stephanie was fabulous! We all loved working with her and she truly made everything seamless! I cannot recommend her enough and am so appreciative! When I walked down the steps and saw her beautiful smile hidden in the planter I just smiled too! She was so sweet and lovely and on top of everything!

Every bride needs a Jamie. Actually, everyone needs a Jamie. Honestly, how do you begin to explain how thankful you are for the person who helped plan, coordinate and execute the best day of your life? There is no way to describe how grateful we are of Jamie who literally made our vision her brand – she made everything we wanted happen. My now husband and I worked with Jamie for about 16 months to plan our wedding. It was the best thing we ever did. From our first phone call, all together, you could feel her positivity, creativity, easygoing confidence and humor through the phone. I knew right from our first call we were going to get along and I instantly felt some relief about planning the wedding. I would say I have a touch of a type A personality and Jamie handled me with patience and ease. I shared a Pinterest board I had created for my vision for the wedding. Jamie brought it to life. She introduced me to her network of vendors and we chipped away at all of the moving parts. I sometimes did not know how to explain or bring to light what exactly I wanted to vendors during our meetings. Jamie knew and would answer for me. I didn’t even think twice about any suggestion she would make. I always went with what Jamie said because I trusted her more than I trusted myself in making these decisions. Throughout the entire process, she was always in communication with us; documenting notes from every meeting so we would not forget anything we decided on or why we strayed away from something, suggestions, and then to-dos my husband and I were responsible for. She kept us on every communication with vendors and if for some reason we were not on the same page as a vendor, Jamie jumped right in and cleared up the situation. Jamie goes above and beyond in everything she does with confidence and so calmly to flawlessly execute every last detail for perfection. In the weeks leading up to it, she handled all of the vendor coordination and timelines for the day of, taking that off of my plate where I was able to focus on other smaller things. We pretty much met once or twice a month three months before the big day. She always gave the option of jumping on a call but I looked forward to our meetings in person where we would go down a checklist of things I had done or she had done since the last time we had spoken and then talked about what was on our plate next. Jamie made all of the planning so fun! Her passion and dedication for planning these events inspires you to want to go and do the same. And, I have to add, Jamie was planning all of these other weddings during the time we worked with her, and she still made us feel like we were her only one. Our wedding day was a dream. Because of Jamie and her assistant Lindsey (who was equally as awesome), we did not have to worry about a thing. I knew all of the details (which were unbelievably beautiful) and moving parts were in good hands. Our wedding was under a tent and Jamie had taken us into the tent to see how our vision came to life. We. Were. Blown. Away. Jamie gave us everything we ever wanted and hoped for on our big day. At the end of the wedding, Jamie and her team took care of getting things on our shuttle home and packed up everything else that needed to be taken from the venue. She allowed us to enjoy and be present for every single second of our wedding. Post wedding blues are real. But I would say a big part of mine is not talking to and meeting with Jamie all of the time. You are not just hiring a planner who is dedicated, proactive, hardworking and organized but you gain a trusted friend, confidant, sounding board, therapist and pretty much your right arm to help make the millions of decisions that need to be made while planning a wedding. She is everything you ever want in a planner and individual. I will not rest until all of Cape Cod and New England know how fantastic Jamie and her team truly are. We feel honored to have worked with her and honestly, I’m just looking to plan the next event so we get to have her back!

Jamie and her team are the best! Planning our wedding with Jamie was fun and easy. She had wonderful suggestions every step of the way, which really helps when you're overwhelmed with all the decisions you need to make. She is professional and answers all inquiries in a timely fashion. Jamie is a friend and a former colleague and I knew when I got engaged that I wanted her to be my planner! She made sure everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding . Even when I forgot my hair accessories at home, Jamie picked up some alternatives for me at a local shop. I highly recommend Cape Cod Celebrations!

Tracie Palmer

Hiring Jamie at Cape Cod Celebrations was the best decision we made next to getting married in the first place. She's that amazing. She is a complete professional but also makes you feel like you're planning your wedding with a close friend. She is calm, cool and collected at all times, which let us relax and rest assured things were being handled. And if you do freak out on occasion (which, with two type A brides, did happen once or twice) she just handles it. She's the Olivia Pope of wedding planning. We chose a full planning package and I could not recommend it any more highly, especially if you have a demanding job and/or don't live on the Cape. I am positive that we would not have managed to put together any semblance of a wedding, let alone the utterly gorgeous one we had, if Jamie wasn't there with us from the beginning. Another important consideration when choosing your planner (and one I never would have thought of before going through the process) is the relationships your planner has with other vendors. Jamie has fantastic relationships all over the Cape (and beyond; she worked with our PA-based photographers and our NH-based photo booth folks seamlessly). So many of our vendors told us how much they respected her and enjoyed working with her. This speaks so loudly, since all vendors want to work with people who are going to let them do their jobs most effectively. That's Jamie. Something else that never would have occurred to me before getting married: your planner (and your makeup and hair professionals) is a very intimate part of your day. Your planner is the person who will be standing next to you right before you head down the aisle, or who gives you and your new spouse a peak at your reception space for the first time. These are special moments, and they are made even better when that person is someone you have grown to love, trust and respect, and whose hard work made it all happen. I am eternally grateful that for us, that person was Jamie.

Jamie was a class act from start to finish. I got married September 2015 at the Wequassett and we could not have had a better experience working with her. She is the perfect blend of professional/knowledgable and easy going. Her relaxed, calm and confident energy serves her well in this line of work and makes working with her on the big day stress free , easy and fun. She is someone my husband and I continue to have a relationship with because she is that awesome and we just want to be her friend! Don't hesitate- hire Jamie immediately! She knows all the best venues, vendors and anything wedding related in Cape Cod. You won't regret it!!!

Hannah Weber

THANK YOU, JAMIE!! I honestly do not know what I would have done with out Jamie and the Cape Cod Celebrations team. Jamie was on top of everything and took texts, calls, and emails from me at all times of the day and always had an answer. As someone who works full time and travels a lot for work, I was worried the planning process would be super stressful. Jamie made sure that wasn't the case. She made the planning process fun and completely enjoyable, which I thought was impossible based on everything everyone told me going in to planning a wedding. Jamie juggled not only a huge wedding at our home in Chatham, so essentially created a venue, but also juggled a lot of cooks in the kitchen between me, my now husband, my mom, my sister, my dad, and my husband's parents, and she did it all with grace and with a calm, confident presence. I always knew Jamie had everything under control, which was so reassuring and calming. The actual day was an absolute dream come true! The entire weekend was magical and everything I could have hoped for and more. Everything went off without a hitch, and Jamie masterfully orchestrated all the vendors and timeline and guests. I am going to miss working with Jamie as I have very much enjoyed working with her and getting to know her over the past year and a half. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and on top of everything, but she was really fun to spend time with and get to know. I would highly recommend Jamie and the Cape Cod Celebrations team for anyone getting married on Cape Cod, their relationships with vendors across the cape is strong and incredibly valuable, and I just can't say enough good things about the team! Thank you all so much, YOU ARE AMAZING!! John, my family, and I are so grateful for all you did, and all the detail and care you put in to making our dream weekend come to life. Thank you, thank you!!

Paige Coleman

Words cannot express my gratitude for Jamie and her team. Jamie was so easy to work with, on top of her stuff and truly made wedding planning fun! Her and her team created the most perfect wedding for us! It was the wedding I always dreamt off and it's all because of Cape Cod Celebrations. Jamie is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always made me feel as though she had everything 100% under control. I wish I could give her more them five stars and excellent reviews! Simply THE BEST!!

Both me and my husband live in NY but we decided to get married on the Cape. Our wedding was the most perfect and magical day of our lives, and it wouldn't have been possible without Stephanie from Cape Cod Celebrations. From the early stages of planning, Stephanie offered invaluable advice and expertise. Most of my vendors were booked from her preferred vendors list, but when there were certain vendors we couldn't book because of budget or availability, Stephanie helped us ask around and search for additional recommendations. Stephanie was also quick to respond to emails and super flexible with our in person meetings since we could only drive up on weekends. As we got closer to the big day, Stephanie took more and more responsibilities off my plate. She confirmed all my vendors, finalized my timelines, and took care of all the last minute details. Everybody at our wedding kept complimenting how professional and efficient Stephanie was at our wedding. Everyone from guest to vendor knew exactly where to go and what to do. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. We had an outdoor tented reception and pesky neighbors trespassing were a concern for us so we actually hired an assistant to help watch the property line. I personally didn't see or hear a single incident with the neighbors but I found out from my guests later on that there were indeed a few neighbors who tried to crash the party. But Stephanie and her assistant quickly and quietly escorted them off the property. And as a side note, my up-do started to fall almost as soon as the ceremony was over and Stephanie would magically appear out of nowhere throughout the day to help me pin up stray hairs. She had everything covered! Whether or not you have experience planning a wedding (I didn't), booking Cape Cod Celebrations to be your day of coordinator will be the best decision you make after saying "I do". It's your big day, you should enjoy every single of it without distractions or worries.

Hannah Hickok

Hiring Cape Cod Celebrations team to be our day-of planner was one of the best decisions we made. Stephanie's experience, familiarity with local vendors and can-do attitude took tons of stress out of the planning process and made our wedding day (not to mention the days and weeks leading up to it) much smoother. Stephanie's presence is unfailingly calm, professional and supportive, which made it easier to enjoy the planning process. You'll be in great hands if you hire Cape Cod Celebrations!

Adrienne Stuart

I am the MOB and thankfully hired Cape Cod Celebrations to flawlessly execute my daughter's vision of a dreamy, beautiful wedding. Jamie and her team are beyond excellent. Every aspect of their services are handled professionally, timely, and in minute detail. Let's face it, weddings are expensive. You want to get it right. You can't afford mistakes. Hire this wedding planner. I promise that you will be more relaxed and enjoy the big day more than you imagined. Whether you are contracting a full service package or day of assistance, you will be forever grateful you chose CCC. My daughter's wedding was rather complicated being on an expansive outdoor property with over a dozen vendors. Jamie expertly managed everything perfectly. The end result was an over the moon father of the bride, bride and groom, and every guest who attended. It was a dream come true. Thank you Cape Cod Celebrations!

Adding Stephanie to our wedding planning was the best decision we made! My now husband and I were planning our wedding while being away from the cape and the two of us were also living on opposite side of the country at the time. Not only was Stephanie extremely professional and knowledgeable, but she brought a sense of calm to what is arguably an insane undertaking. We had our first email exchanges about 9 months out, followed by an in person meeting 6 months out to start sketching out a plan, followed by another call 1 month out to make sure all the lingering details were coming together. I am admittedly a bit type A and did a ton of research for the wedding, but Stephanie had fantastic recommendations for vendors and scheduling, thought of things I would have absolutely overlooked and when it came to execution, she made our vision come together and run so smoothly. She was such a pleasure to work with. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Laura Jean Studio

Stephanie is a total professional and such a pleasure to work with! I recommend her to any clients looking for a detail oriented, easy going, but very reliable and knowledgable planner. She crushes it!

Christine Bogue

I honestly do not know what I could have done without Stephanie! She was amazing and seemed to know what I want/ needed before I even realized. I also had family and parts of the bridal party tell me how amazing she was. Everyone noticed her amazing attention to detail and extremely professional performance. I would recommend Cape Cod Celebrations to anyone!

Micaela Bloomer

Jamie Bohlin & her team were incredible. Our backyard wedding on our private property in Brewster went seamlessly due to her guidance & support, and key relationships with all of the local vendors. Can't recommend highly enough!

AMAZING WEDDING PLANNER! Working with Jamie and Cape Cod Celebrations was one of the best decisions we made. She came highly recommended by friends and now I know why. In the pre-planning phases, Jamie was an amazing resource and sounding board - especially given the very DIY nature of our wedding venue. Jamie was continually organized, calm and responsive. In the week leading up the wedding, Jamie went above and beyond when we faced some unpredictable weather challenges. With Hurricane Harvey expected to hit Chatham Friday/Sat, Jamie went into action working through contingency and backup plans. Despite the stressful turn of events, Jamie stayed calm throughout and I knew undoubtedly she had it covered. She was on top of every vendor and was there to answer every question. In the end, the weather cleared and we had the most beautiful day. My biggest fear during the planning process was how the whole thing would come together. With so many vendors, it seemed like an impossible task - but Jamie made it happen. Every single element of our wedding was better than I imagined. Planning a wedding is a big undertaking and we could not have done it without Jamie. Cape Cod Celebrations is an incredible team and I would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone getting married on Cape Cod.

Both Jamie and Kate from CCC were amazing! We had a tented wedding at a private residence where we needed to bring in EVERYTHING (electricity, bathrooms, water etc.) and I was super nervous about the wedding weekend/day of going smoothly and Kate made sure that happened, we could have not done it without her! I am a software sales rep by profession so have very high standards when I am the customer and Kate was wonderful, she thought of things that we didn’t and ensured that everything ran smoothly so that we could just enjoy our day. I highly recommend CCC and both Jamie and Kate!

Katlyn Anctil

I would have been lost throughout the wedding planning process without Cape Cod Celebrations. They were everything I could have asked for and more. Jamie Bohlin was my fearless leader, and I looked to her for help making planning decisions along the way. I trusted her and confided her, and I can't recommend her and her team enough. If you're wondering if you should hire her team, you 100% should!!! Pure perfection.

Lea Cherchia

Wedding planning is beyond stressful. That's just the truth. I thought I had it all under control but nearly lost my mind and decided I needed an extra set of hands. Just being on the phone with Cape Cod Celebrations (Jamie) calmed me down immediately and I knew it was the right choice to spend some extra money to have my sanity back. As soon as I signed the contract I instantly felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I completely trusted that everything would work out perfectly (and it did!) Jamie was very flexible with us and created a custom plan that worked perfectly with our budget and the tasks that I knew I couldn't handle all on my own. I am typically an anxious frantic nervous mess, but I was completely relaxed the week of the wedding because I knew Jamie had it all under control. And trust me- you want to ENJOY the week of the wedding and soak it all in. I'm so happy that we made the decision to move forward with Cape Cod Celebrations. She read my mind, set up all of our decor exactly how I envisioned, and got 27 people down the aisle (yes, 27). Just having Jamie as someone to text random questions to during the days leading up to the wedding was amazing in itself. Your wedding day is the biggest day of your life that you can never get back. Let Cape Cod Celebrations help you!!

Molly Bechtel

Best decision, EVER! I cannot stress enough how amazing Jamie was to have as our wedding planner and by our side every step of the way. She did an outstanding job from start to finish, and then some! Jaime is an absolute pleasure to work with - she is extremely thorough, responsive, organized, had thoughtful suggestions (especially regarding vendors) and kept us calm and collected during some of the more stressful moments that come with wedding planning. Thank you Jamie for helping us plan the perfect wedding!

Suzie Markin

Full disclosure, I have known Jamie since we were very young. It was a no-brainer to choose Cape Cod Celebrations once we decided to have the wedding on the Cape. My now husband and I currently live in Indianapolis, and Jamie was able to handle planning with me from a distance with such ease and professionalism - I never had any doubt throughout the planning process that the wedding would be anything less than perfect. To complicate matters, mid-way through planning I found out I was getting a new job overseas, so I definitely had quite a lot of mental stress. Jamie made everything so easy. She took on all of the detailed arrangements, I did not have to worry about a thing! If I ever had thoughts, or questions, or unruly guests trying to join or cancel or just be high maintenance, Jamie was always very quick to handle it. The day of our wedding was the absolute best day of my life, and that was due in large part to the care and attention that Jamie put towards making sure everything happened just as it should. I have no doubt that she gives every couple the same dedication. You will absolutely not regret hiring Cape Cod Celebrations for your wedding!!

Charles Whitmer II

Perfection! That's the only way I can use to describe our wedding day and Jamie was a key reason for that. After spending a few weeks trying to plan our Cape Cod wedding from Chicago by ourselves we were feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure if we were going to be able to make our destination wedding successful. So we decided to give Jamie a call and see if we felt comfortable trusting someone else with our big day. From the first call we knew that Jamie was going to be our savior. She listened carefully to what we wanted and thoughtfully laid out our options on how to achieve what we wanted. What we loved is that Jamie never told us what to do - just what it would take to achieve our goals. We started our planning process 18 months in advance of our date so choosing vendors was fairly easy, but with Jamie's many contacts she was able to suggest two to three options for each vendor and joined any interview calls that we wanted. Then after we chose our vendors she joined all of our vendor meetings to be sure she understood what we expected from them. Because of this preparation, she never had to ask us one question on the day of the wedding. She already knew what we wanted and just made it happen. I'm sure there were issues that came up during the day (we even created one!), but our guests never knew about them. Jamie just took care of the issues and made sure the day was about us and our guests enjoyment.

Heidi Boas

Hiring Cape Cod Celebrations to help me plan and coordinate my wedding was one of the best decisions I made! Jamie Bohlin was wonderful to work with during the months leading up to my wedding. She weighed in with advice and suggestions whenever I needed them and helped me stay organized by holding planning calls during the final weeks before my wedding. My Day Of Coordinator, Erin Soderstrom, was truly fantastic! Erin has a very calming and supportive presence and she helped me and my groom to feel very relaxed on our wedding day. Erin made sure our wedding day kept moving on schedule and she took care of all the last-minute details. Erin performed her job with grace and kindness and was the perfect person to work with on our wedding day. We love Cape Cod Celebrations and would recommend them to everyone!

Carly Snediker

Jamie Bohlin and the rest of Cape Cod Celebrations rock star team was the best decision I made in planning our wedding, from start to finish I felt as though I was on track and in the best hands. As I think is the case with most brides, I went back and forth with the idea of bringing on a full-time planner since we had already booked our venue and knew that we would be provided with a coordinator. During our introduction meeting, Jamie stressed that this was OUR wedding and her role would be to execute our vision not create a vision for us. This really hit home with us because my mother and I (& my fiancé ofcourse ;)) pride ourselves in party planning and wanted our personal touches to show. As the eldest of three girls, this was the first wedding in our family and we underestimated how much coordination goes into planning a full weekend of events, thank goodness for Jamie. She has mastered professionalism, organization skills and creative thinking all while being beyond approachable through the entire process. The day of the wedding I was blown away with how much was handled for us from set up to breakdown. From our early planning chit-chats, pinterest purges, vendor coordination, bridal shower surprises, all the way through day of timelines - my wedding was simply a dream and I gained a wonderful friend!
