Our team's fearless leader, Cindy, is a graduate of Rutgers University and began her professional career as a financial and strategic analyst. In 2007, she decided to leave the corporate world behind to pursue her life-long passion for planning events. Small parties for friends and family turned into large events including weddings and corporate gatherings, and Effortless Events was quickly on the road to success.
Her East Coast attitude and drive allowed her to excel as a lead event coordinator for a catering company-where she learned the nuts and bolts of the event industry. From how to cook in a hot cave to how many glasses per person are needed at a cocktail party, Cindy knows all that and more.

Cindy is the best! Without her and Alex, we had been lost in this pandemic period. Our original venue refused us having wedding in last minute but Cindy found better place just after 2 hours. We will never forget our wedding with effortless events. Highly recommend!!!!

I cannot say enough about Effortless Events! Cindy and Tiffany created an extremely organized plan of exactly how my wedding would go which was so helpful when dealing with vendors! Then, when all of my original wedding plans got changed due to the pandemic, they were so helpful and frankly, kind and patient, with my ever changing wedding plans.

Absolutely hands down the best event planner ever. We hired Cindy from the get-go...engagement on! Because she is an industry insider, she not only knows all the top-notch vendors ( as she is!), she is repeat business for vendors. In other words, I have one wedding, she does many and if the vendors are not up to her standards, she will not recommend them. In addition, this gives her negotiating leverage that the average consumer does not have. Basically hire Cindy...and her negotiating skills more than pay for EE fee. Talk about a win-win!

Cindy is it! Cindy was my day of wedding planner/coordinator and confidant. Cindy with Effortless Events was professional, prompt, responsive, personable, and most of all hands on with all vendors as needed to execute the best event ever. If there was a problem....I did not hear about it until the end of the night. Cindy was everything...she was always concerned if I needed anything..."what else can I do for you" was not only throughout the event but even before hand. I felt as though her staff knew me personally as they smiled and made sure that I was happy and most importantly able to eat...because
