Danielle was the "day of" wedding planner at my daughter's wedding in Manhattan this past October. Before then, we met several times to discuss the plans for the wedding and several times at the hotel as we got closer to the event. She was always the most professional, knowledgeable and acted as a go-between for the hotel staff, floral designer, other vendors and us. Everyone felt the wedding was an incredible success and I know that we couldn't have done this without Danielle's help. Without hesitation, we would recommend Danielle for any and all of her services.

After trying for 18 grueling months to plan my wedding on my own, and not getting anywhere, I contacted Curtain Up Events. It was 2 months before the big day. I didn't have a venue or a dress… much less music, food, flowers, officiate, etc. Danielle pulled everything together in less than a month! She found a venue, catering, music, and even put me in contact with a designer to design what I would walk down the aisle in. I could finally relax, and enjoy being the "bride to be"… And then 3 days before my wedding, the bottom fell out!… Our venue called to inform us that they had a water main break and that I wouldn't be able to have my wedding there. I was ready to cancel the wedding altogether. But Danielle went into overdrive! She found an even better venue, and orchestrated the whole move with such ease, and proficiency. My wedding turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! We will definitely use her again, for any event that we have...

Words cannot express how fortunate we were to have worked with Danielle in planning our wedding. She was recommended by our venue, and being that it was a somewhat blank space, I felt it would be best to go with someone who was familiar with the room, staff, etc. Best decision of my life. If there were such a thing as "love at first sight" for your wedding planner, that would be how everyone involved in my wedding would describe Danielle, from my parents to the bridal party to the vendors, etc. She has an amazing way of connecting with you and anticipating your desires and needs in a way that is the perfect balance between best friend and wedding professional. Aside from designing the exact wedding I had dreamt of since my childhood, she gave the best recommendations on all aspects of the wedding and was so helpful with everything, especially during those crucial last few days. I always felt relaxed and at ease knowing that I had her to depend on. She even chalked and baby powdered my bust after I was fondled by a ring bearer with tomato sauce hands during the reception. See, she truly cares and will go above and beyond for you! I would highly recommend Danielle and her staff as she could not have been more of a pleasure to work with.

Danielle and her staff were superb in all of the details attended to for my daughter's wedding in April, 2012. Danielle is knowledgeable, has a friendly personality, and has the uncanny ability to keep brides at ease on the big day! I highly recommend her services.

We were referred to Danielle Bobish of CUE by a friend, and she made our special day possible. Danielle at CUE (Curtain Up Events) was great from the very first meeting about budget and vision to the day of the event as our coordinator. She was: easy to work with, professional, straightforward, diligent, well-connected, congenial, and just plain fun. She worked very hard for us, getting us what we wanted and even helping decide what we wanted. My spouse and I would highly recommend Danielle for any event you are trying to get off the ground, especially a wedding. She worked well with everyone, even paying special attention to the parents.

I thought that Danielle held the perfect balance of professionalism yet at the same time was extremely personable, not only with her clients but with the vendors you work with as well. I had our band tell us they have never worked with anyone that was so great at understanding the level of a vendor's ability and giving them the flexibility they needed but at the same time making sure they were meeting the needs of the bride and groom. While she is flexibile where need be she is also great with contracts and will make sure you don't get locked into anything you wouldn't want to. Even my bridesmaids got along with her famously because she participated in the planning of my bachelorette and bridal shower in a way that offered great ideas but let the girls do what they needed to do. Most of my friends loved her and asked if they could use her for their weddings. She can be with you for the entire engagment process or just be a coordinator on that day, she will work with whatever you need her for. I would highly recommend her.

Hiring Danielle and her team for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! CUE was not only extremely professional, but they anticipated every one of our needs. Danielle was truly a pleasure to work with and we cannot recommend her enough!

Danielle and hear team were absolutely amazing at our wedding in May. First of all, Danielle is a delightful and sweet person, and she is also extremely organized and professional. We had a loft wedding so there were a lot of moving parts, but everything was executed absolutely flawlessly. Danielle and her team lit hundreds of candles everywhere, which looked beautiful, and when it started to rain during our rooftop cocktail hour, she whisked everyone inside along with the DJ and bar and it was as if nothing ever went wrong. I would highly, highly recommend Curtain Up Events and in retrospect cannot imagine having entrusted the execution of my wedding to anyone else!

What can we say… You guys made our special day run so smoothly! Everyone was extremely professional and timely with not only meeting our requests, but exceeding them. CUE gave us the ability to help put together multiple ideas in a short time, and then turned them into a finished product quickly and efficiently, it was wonderful. Danielle Bobish was an absolute joy and was receptive to all our needs, even after we would email her several times little changes that came to our mind- she made it happen. CUE you truly made our process for coordinating our wedding a pleasure. I will always recommend your services to everyone I know who needs help in planning a special celebration. You guys are Awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Mimi & Rafael

Danielle and her team at CUE (shout out to Kiki and Meredith!) were absolutely invaluable in helping me with my wedding, from the planning stages through the big day. From the big plans like transportation and flowers to the smaller details like the cake topper, escort cards and portrait list; I made every decision myself, which was important to me, but then CUE magically took care of everything! On my wedding day, the CUE ladies were even more AMAZING. Meredith and Kiki stayed in the background, handling everything beautifully, and Danielle was with me all day, lending me her continued help, support, enthusiasm and gentle guidance through the day's events. I could not have gotten through my wedding without CUE- I can't recommend them enough!

We feel so lucky to have been referred to Danielle Bobish and Curtain Up Events. Hiring Danielle was the best decision we ever made! We could not have pulled off our wedding without her lovely, hardworking team. Danielle gave us so many amazing vendor choices. Her team handled every last detail for us, and everything was absolutely seamless, beautiful, and delicious. Thanks to Danielle's efforts we didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding, which was a dreamy feeling. I can't imagine having a wedding without Danielle's help. Her team clearly loves events; they know how to manage large groups of people (young and old) and a multitude of vendors, on a clear timeline, while keeping things fun and making sure all your guests are enjoying the party. They are professional, reliable, organized, friendly, and creative. We were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding as much as our guests, and it was everything we hoped it would be and more. We recommend Curtain Up Events without hesitation to anyone hosting an event, large or small. They are invaluable!

Danielle and her assistants from Curtain Up Events, Inc. provided amazing behind-the-scene support at my daughter's Brooklyn wedding in October. Our family was able to fully enjoy and participate in the ceremony and all of the festivities without thinking about any logistics. Can't thank her enough for making the wedding day super special!

Working with Danielle and the Cue girls was such a pleasure! We hired them for the 'month of' package to help with any last minute issues and to take care of everything on the wedding day. They went above and beyond and helped me find vendors and met for drinks and to talk about our plans way before they were contracted to. Working with them felt like working with your best friends. The day went off without a hitch (or at least none that I knew about :) and they ended up being some of the best money we spent on the entire wedding.

I hired Danielle of Curtain Up Events about a week and a half before our wedding. I had realized that I needed a "Day Of" coordinator to help with all of the logistics. Little did I know Danielle would be so much more than that. She made my life easier from the first meeting, conveniently meeting me across the street from my office for a quick drink. After talking with her a for only a few minutes I knew that we needed her and hired her on the spot. Danielle immediately sprung into action and helped me make tons of last minute decisions. She helped with everything from making phone calls and lists to dropping things off and picking things up. She tied ribbons on programs and calmed me down when I was feeling overwhelmed. Danielle really went above and beyond and was absolutely the best investment that we made in our wedding day. It?s now a year after our wedding and still our only regret was not hiring her earlier in the planning process.

Hiring a wedding planner was the best decision I made during the planning process. Danielle was very responsive & professional; yet, she was also like a friend from day one. She is full of unique ideas & is extremely organized. I didn't have a single worry on my wedding day; she was there all day to make sure everything was running smoothly. Most importantly, it was evident that her priority was to keep the bride & groom happy and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything went.

Danielle is amazing, and Curtain Up Events completely lives up to its show-stopping title. In addition to seamlessly running my entire wedding, Danielle and CUE helped me with everything around the day: dress fittings, coordinating caterer and florist, booking a hotel block, the whole nine yards. People told me over and over that I was the calmest bride they'd ever seen. It's because Danielle and her team had everything under control. I literally didn't have to think about anything except having fun and enjoying the day. There was no Bridezilla happening here. I got to savor every second of my wedding!
