Reviews of Piece of Cake Consulting, LLC (Event Planner)

My husband and I were very fortunate to have an entirely stress-free and very enjoyable wedding, and we feel we owe a good part of this to hiring Betsy as our wedding coordinator. As Chicago residents planning a wedding in Madison, she was incredibly helpful in finding us vendors in the Madison area that not only fit our budget but were tasteful and professional too. She was indispensable in giving us advice on wedding day details such as how much we should tip the various vendors and ways to trim our budget without sacrificing the overall look and feel of our day. She invested in our wedding with a level of care and attention to detail as if it were her own, and even created a cute sign for a table near the exit of our reception to let guests know that they could take flowers home with them. When I changed the location of our hair/makeup prep 2 days before the wedding, she made sure all our vendors knew about the change. When I had a last minute (day of, right after our ceremony) addition of a guest to our reception, Betsy made sure that guest had a seat and felt welcomed. Throughout the whole process, she was incredibly kind and fun to work with, and was very understanding of both my husband and I's hectic schedules. I would recommend Betsy to anyone planning a wedding--she is truly the definition of a lifesaver!

Hiring Betsy and Piece of Cake Consulting, LLC to help plan our wedding this past June was definitely the right decision! From the list of vendors she provides and her personal connections with those vendors, to the plethora of decor including card boxes, votives etc that we had access to, to the day-of itinerary and taking questions and calls from our family and friends, Betsy helped make it all so perfect. She helped relieve a lot of stress and was super flexible and professional. Betsy was always available via multiple methods of communication and was so easy to work with. She thought of every detail so nothing was overlooked. I would definitely recommend Betsy and Piece of Cake Consulting, LLC 10 times over!

5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Betsy has the experience and knowledge in helping plan & SAVE on your wedding. She knows key vendors to work with during your day, décor ideas, and is great at planning the schedule for your day. We wouldn't have been able to plan our wedding without her at Bishops Bay in Middleton, WI! Thank you Betsy!! :)

I hired Piece of Cake Consulting to plan and coordinate my wedding. I was pleased to find that the owner, Betsy, is also whom I worked with throughout my experience. She was a on top of every detail, which really helped me with my stress level. At times I felt she had a better grip of what was going on than I did. Betsy was helpful, organized, caring, and professional from my first consultation with her until after my wedding, when she followed up to make sure I was pleased with her services. I would highly recommend Piece of Cake Consulting for wedding and event planning! The price is well worth it as Betsy's services provide peace of mind as well as an amazing and beautiful experience!

Betsy was so wonderful. I wish I had hired her sooner! She really has made this last month of my wedding less stressful. With the changes at my venue she stepped right in and assured me that all would be ok. I would recommend her highly! I know the day of the wedding will go smooth as well. She has save me stress and money. she is totally worth every dollar spent.

Betsy made everything very easy for us before, during, and after our wedding.

Betsy was AMAZING! She executed our wedding FLAWLESSLY, and even when we found out later that pieces got delayed unexpectedly, Betsy handled all issues with finesse and we didn't even notice any problems during the whole day! She is fantastic to work with, providing great advice along the way on etiquette and proper protocol, and assisting us with ideas wherever possible. Because of her, all our family + guests were able to have a great night free of responsibilities, and she efficiently completed all her duties early to make sure everything that needed to be done got accomplished. We will HIGHLY recommend her as someone to manage a wedding/large events, her professionalism and skill are unmatched. This is the ONLY wedding I have ever been a part of where EVERYTHING was ON TIME!!! This never happens at weddings!!! People still keep complimenting our wedding on how perfectly executed it was, and Betsy deserves all the credit!

Working with Betsy was fantastic, and hiring her was the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. We enjoyed getting to know Betsy during our wedding planning months, and she was very valuable in helping us keep everything organized and recommended great vendors. When my husband and I first were engaged, him and I were both skeptical at the idea of a wedding planner, but once we met Betsy, we were sold! It was a great decision, because our wedding day was so stress-free, and executed so well. Thanks again Betsy, for help making our day a perfect one :)

Hiring Betsy was the best thing we did! She ran the wedding perfectly - decorated it to be the wedding of my dreams, handled all weird situations with grace, and kept us on time without being pushy. We adored working with her and our families love her as well. You will not be disappointed with Betsy- she's incredible!

Betsy is a lifesaver. I'll start with saying that. After a previous wedding planner essentially dropped the ball, we were left with less than 2 months before our set wedding date with nothing having been done. Desperate, I sent several e-mails to numerous wedding planners in the area, seeing if any were available to plan a wedding in a short time frame. Within a few minutes of sending that e-mail, my phone rang. It was Betsy, who was moved by our story and motivated to pull off our dream wedding. When we met with her for the first time a few days later, she was full of energy and ideas, with a notebook already full of potential venues, vendors, etc. -- and everything based on our budget. We told her we needed a lot of hand holding due to our busy schedules, and she did not disappoint -- she kept on top of everything and communicated with us on a regular basis, getting us organized, setting timelines, and doing a million things that, if left to us, wouldn't get done. The actual wedding day was amazing. Betsy orchestrated it like a pro. I don't think it could've been any better even if I had a year or more to plan the event. I keep recommending her left and right, and if I could give her 6 stars out of 5, I would.

We hired Piece of Cake Consulting to provide day-of help with our recent wedding. We are so very happy we did! We were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day, worry free. Betsy created an itinerary in advance to make sure that all bases were covered. This also helped tremendously by making sure that everyone in the wedding party knew where they needed to be. Betsy was also the perfect level of involved during the wedding, making sure everything was going smoothly and that everyone was happy, while not being at all intrusive. Before the wedding, Betsy made sure we had thought through everything we needed to (and pointed out many things that I would have never thought of on my own). She also gave great advice on vendors and budgeting. She was always available to answer any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend Piece of Cake Consulting!

We just returned from our honeymoon (we left the Monday after the wedding) and one of the first things we had to do was to review Piece of Cake Consulting and its owner, Betsy. Our wedding was exactly what we wanted, in no small part because of Betsy’s hard work. From our first meeting, Betsy really listened to what we wanted in our wedding and inspired confidence that she could make it happen. We both liked Betsy’s style – a nice balance of flexibility but also asking good questions about our ideas to make sure we had really thought things through. Betsy took it from ideas to reality. She provided recommendations and references for vendors, but was not pushy about it. She worked well with everyone involved. The week of the wedding, Betsy really took over, confirming (and re-confirming!) all of the details with the venue, vendors, etc. By the time the wedding came, everything was in place and it went so smoothly. (We suspect many things were going on behind the scenes, but Betsy and her assistant took care of everything and we never saw any snags or issues.) Betsy is organized, detail-oriented and can take control when needed, but also super easy to work with and, not unimportantly, she made wedding planning actually low stress and fun! We HIGHLY recommend Piece of Cake.

Betsy was wonderful to work with! She was hugely helpful to us, a couple who didn't know a lot about planning a wedding, she had great connections in the Madison area, and she even helped (successfully) negotiate some contracts on our behalf! Day-of, Betsy was extremely present, went above and beyond to help us out with some last minute details, and helped us have the smoothest wedding I imagine is possible. We could not recommend Betsy enough. Thanks Betsy!

Betsy did a wonderful job as our day-of coordinator! It was so reassuring knowing she was there to handle any issues on the big day. She was kind, thoughtful, and very business-like. I would recommend her to anyone looking to make their wedding day less stressful!

I worked with Betsy for my wedding planning. Hands down the best experience ever! She made our wedding day a worry free experience!
