We had the wedding of our dreams

The team were beyond helpful and such a pleasure to work with. They were able to make the day run smoothly, without any hiccups which allowed us to focus on enjoying our big day. We did have a plethora of vendors, but they were able to effectively communicate with each vendor and let them know what we expected. The handled all questions that are bridal party and guests had and would definitely recommend to any newlywed couple. They were attentive and ensured that me and my wife got through the day with minimal stress and maximum enjoyment.

Amazing service! They really catered to us!

From the first conversation, we saw how proactive Catered to you can be! The organization, the planning the frequent communication, and detailed information stood out for us.
On our Big day we saw team work play out, the team was at different stations and everyone was on their A game and this meant alot to us as a couple.
We are happy and blessed to have used their services because it helped alot. The support during photography session, while also managing the guests and liaising perfectly with the MC of the day was top notch, down to the cloth changing session and just all round!
The name speaks for itself!
You should try them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Professional, flexible, reliable and value for money spent. Thank you Shalom and your team for making our wedding a remarkable experience.
We even ate at our wedding which is something that we know not a lot of couples do because of how busy things can get. We got the intimate, elegant and fun wedding we’ve ever dreamed of. My wife was so happy. I was so happy. We both were overjoyed. 💯 recommend CTY Events.

Great Service!

It was a pleasure to work with them. They were great and planning all the parts leading to the big day. One of their strongest qualities is the ability to adapt and be creative under pressure. This allowed my wedding to run smoothly as things changed or evolved. They are professional and personable which created a great experience for us as the couple. I would highly recommend!

In control

Shalom and her team have made myself and my new bride feel reassured every step, from the beginning all the way to the BIG DAY she’s been so accommodating.

Shalom has an open line policy which meant I was able to message or call pretty much any time I had any questions or even if I need reassurance.

She pitched in ideas but also took the time to hear me out. CTY events communicated well with all the vendors to ensure my big day went as smoothly as it possibly could.

Thank you so much

Book them nowwwww

Where do I even begin?!
I booked Cater to You just weeks before my wedding in full panic mode—no coordinator, no plan, just prayer. And God absolutely sent me angels in Shalom & Grace.

From day one, they took EVERYTHING off my plate. They handled every detail with such calm, precision, and love—coordinated with all the vendors, made sure timelines were tight, and brought this peaceful energy that every bride needs.

Now listen… I’m not a “spotlight” kind of girl, but when these two walked into my bridal suite?! I genuinely felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. They helped me dress, made sure I left on time, and even gave me their own shoes when we couldn’t find mine. Who does that?!

They checked in on me constantly—emotionally, mentally, even medically (yes, they brought me my meds + water without me asking). They danced with me, laughed with me, and made everyone around them feel safe and celebrated.

I just met them, but I love them deeply. Their attention to detail, heart, and pure dedication are unmatched. You can’t teach this kind of care—it’s a calling.

Cater to You, you are exactly who you say you are and so much more.
I’m teary even writing this—thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Would I recommend?
ABSOBLOODYLUTELYYYYY.
10/10.

May everything you’ve invested in me be returned to you double.

Relatable, Concise & Understandable

CTY joined us late in the planning procedure, but upon their entry they really were the cherry on top for the wedding. They were able to ask question that we as the couple were not thinking of, make the small details concise and important that crossed our stressed mind. On the day of the celebration they were on hand, early and professional going above and beyond for us in ways we could not manage. One of the team members even gave my wife shoes to wear for a small time whilst her’s went missing. I would highly highly recommend them and use them again when needed. They made our day 10 times better and supported us when needed.

Amazing service

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to CTY Events for everything they had done for us with the lead up to the wedding and the actual wedding day. They were absolutely amazing and nothing would’ve been possible without them and it definitely wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did if it wasn’t for the whole team. They worked effortlessly and in sync with eachother to coordinate the most amazing day. Till this day I get guests and the bridal party telling me how amazing CTY Events were with their attention to detail, efficiency and how well they coordinated everything. We are extremely grateful.

John & Sephora White Wedding

Above and beyond would be an understatement - Nikemi, Shalom & the team played a significant part in making our special day that much more magical. Their patience, guidance and humour helped to keep the bride, groom and guests at ease with reassurance that everything was being kept under control.

We’re both very happy with the service provided by Catered to You and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to future couples!

Professional, understanding, responsive!

CTY events was amazing with providing on the day coordination for my wedding. I did not realise until very near the wedding date just how important this would be! They took time to talk with me and understand the running order and vision of my wedding day and make sure that everything made sense in terms of timing. On the day their friendly faces, professionalism and responsiveness to whatever was needed was truly second to none! I just know my wedding would not have run as smoothly as it did without them, and I’m so glad I had the support for CTY events to bring my wedding vision to reality! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone

Goes the extra mile

I was soo impressed by the service delivered by CTY events on my wedding day. I used them for my traditional Nigerian wedding and my church wedding and reception. They were soo helpful and thought about things we had not thought about. I would definitely recommend
