"Cindy Torry has that rare combination of a focus on critically important details with an ability to understand and then deliver the desired overall impression with an event. From an intimate dinner for eight VIPs to a gala event for 1,800, she made the State Theatre shine with a special flair."

—David W. Fleming, Former President, State Theatre/New Brunswick Cultural Center

“I’m writing this letter to let you know how delighted I was of the services of Torry Events.  I hired Torry Events to handle the final details of my wedding held on Saturday, December 15, 2007 at St. Teresa of Avila’s Catholic Church in Summit, NJ and Fairwinds @ The Basking Ridge Country Club in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.  

I turned over all of my files 3 weeks prior to my wedding and they handled all of the execution – flawlessly.   The pricing was more than fair for the endless hours spent on confirming all of the details.  Torry Events handled all of my transportation, arranged all of my gift bags, served as primary contact to all my vendors and handled all confirmations, provided over and above hospitality for our parents, and provided on-site management the day of event as well as the night before.
 
I found Cindy an absolute delight to work with and extremely detailed oriented.  She is extremely gracious and a true professional.  Cindy was able to greatly reduce my pre-wedding stress.  I would highly, highly recommend Torry Events to any of my friends and colleagues.

—Elizabeth Mahoney, Bride

“We knew immediately that Cindy possessed the quality and talent and professionalism and care that we were looking for. The most memorable part of the music program was all of the beauty that Cindy brought to our day with her voice, music, and presence. The best part of working with Torry Events was the confidence of knowing that we were in the absolute best care, and that our ceremony music would be absolutely outstanding and exceptional. You exceeded all of our expectations.” What could we do to improve? “Honestly, you are already above & beyond; and truly a blessing to anyone who is fortunate enough to have you. We absolutely love you, Cindy. Thank you.”

—Christine & Gary Greenstein, Bride & Groom

“Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. The music was wonderful. I am so glad that I found you. I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Everyone loved everything that you played. I couldn’t of asked for anything more, it was just so beautiful. Thank you so much.”

—Laura & Eric Croker, Bride & Groom

“Brian & I just want to thank you again for the wonderful music you played at our wedding. Everyone loved it. Brian and I will be more than happy to be on your references list.”

“Torry Events does a very good job on following up with us – returned our phone calls or emails within 24 hours. The most memorable part was that we were able to personalize our own music program. The best part of working with Torry Events as a company was to know and work with the performer at a personal level.”

— Lucy & Brian Hom /Bride & Groom

“Besides the fact of how talented Cindy is, we just loved her personality and eagerness to customize the music to fit us. Our most memorable part of the music program was when we heard Cindy start playing “Me and You” (by Kenny Chesney) for us to walk down the aisle to. It was perfect. As we stated before, Cindy’s personality is an A+++! Her patience and willingness to play and help us pick out songs made our decisions much easier. We really have nothing negative to say.”

—Lori Eckhardt & Chrissy Nixon

“We chose to hire Torry Events because Cindy was an awesome piano player and very nice. The most memorable part of my wedding music was walking down the aisle to “All I Ask of You” from Phantom of the Opera, which Cindy sang while playing the keyboard. What could we improve or change? Play forever!”

—Dana Oxhorn, Bride

“Cindy was the first pianist I spoke to and I knew she was the one! The most memorable part of the program was the fact that we could select our own music.

—Amie & Michael Nolfo, Bride and Groom

“Hi Cindy….I have not gotten a chance to call you or email but I just wanted you to know that you were outstanding, everyone that attended the ceremony just loved your music and singing…it was great and I can’t thank you enough and I am glad that we can pass more business on to you…Again, thanks a lot.”

—Jen and Ron Borys, Bride & Groom

“We chose to hire Torry Events because Cindy was very professional, super friendly, and the ceremony and cocktail music services we needed were at a very competitive price. The most memorable part of my wedding music was the ceremony music – especially coming down the aisle – because the songs I wanted were originally written for string quartet and Cindy re-arranged them so we could do it on the piano. The best part of working with Torry Events was the amount of care that went into my wedding – less for me to worry about! What could we improve or change? Nothing – I received so many compliments on the music.”

—Lisa Burton, Bride

—Kimberlee & Anthony Landgraff, Bride & Groom

“Thank you so much for providing the musical entertainment during my daughter’s wedding cocktail hour at The Chanticler.

Please know how much I appreciated your supplying the entertainment. If you need any recommendations, feel free to contact me.”

“Thank you so much for all your ideas, thoughts, creativity, and time. Our wedding day was wonderful, mostly in part to your pre-wedding work and “day of” finishing touches. It all looked beautiful. It was such a gift beyond belief. We are truly grateful.

Also, thank you for making our wedding day ceremony music so special for us. The words of the songs you sang really touched our hearts. Playing the piano with it enhanced it more. Claire de Lune for the bride’s entrance was a project of its own – but the outcome was so memorable for us. It was perfect!

You are the best – plain & simple. You made all our dreams come true. We love you!

—Lisa & Bryan Vargas, Bride & Groom

—Sarah & John Donnangelo, Bride & Groom

“My sister's pink & black fashion themed bridal shower, May Your Marriage Always Be “IN STYLE”, was talked about for weeks after the event – and referred to by many as the best shower they ever went to.  When people walked into the room, they were floored by the beauty and uniqueness of the event and tabletop designs.  Everybody had such a wonderful time! 

Ms. Torry was an essential part of its success, coming up with so many creative ideas including: fish net stocking table overlays; fashion dos & don’ts photo boards; the bride’s hot pink runway entrance; the custom-produced bridal fashion through the decades party game; the custom-designed fashion invitation; the shopping bag centerpieces; the pink & black guest dress code; and more!  All these details made it unforgettable – all on a reasonable budget. 

No attention to detail is lost on Ms. Torry – from the smallest table décor to fabulous gift ideas!  Every inch of our event was thoughtfully considered, balancing our budget, a unique flare, and consideration of the honorees' style.  My sister could not have imagined this shower in her wildest dreams!  I got a few compliments about really knowing how to throw a party, and I took the compliments with grace…but inside, I knew my secret weapon was Torry Events!"  

—Jennifer Jimenez, Maid of Honor

“I can not thank you enough for the most beautiful baby shower I have ever seen in my life!! Everything was just so incredibly personalized and special!!  When I walked in, I immediately got teary-eyed.  The place looked magnificent – the colors, the vision, the whole package!! Everybody had a wonderful time with the special displays and games.  It was the best baby shower EVER!!  Thank you for all of your planning, time and creativity.  Everytime I go into the baby’s nursery I am reminded of how beautiful my baby shower was.  When I sit in the glider and look up at the dragonflies, my new baby Vin and I think of you!”

—Jennifer Jimenez, "Mom-to-Be"

“At this time I would like to sincerely thank you for helping make our Senior Volunteer Recognition Dinner a great success! The time that you so generously donated playing for the seniors helped make the evening’s “cruise” a special one.

—Karin Hodos, Director, Senior Center, Borough of Fair Lawn

 “As the Automotive Tournament Sponsor of the MS Spring Golf Classic hosted by the National MS Society’s Greater North Jersey Chapter, I have had the esteem pleasure of working with Cindy Torry over the past 6 years. Thanks to her tireless dedication, knowledge, and professionalism, the charity was always a complete success in raising funds exceeding their estimated goal. Her attention to detail and coordination of every aspect of the event was flawless. I looked forward to our joint effort each year knowing that Cindy would be running the event with skill and grace. It would be an honor to have you use this testimonial in your web site. Thank you for all you have done to help make my job easier.  I will miss you...with best wishes and luck, Vicki.”

“Mothers Day 2005 will be especially remembered for the wonderful presentation and thoughtful planning of my special day by Cindy Torry of Torry Events.  The creative Ice Cream Social theme was carried out to a "T".  Decor, food, and activities for both adults and children, and the overall ambiance were wonderful. All her ideas were super especially the ice cream sundaes made with flowers, the Ice Cream Flavor Unscramble party table game, the custom ice cream sundae invitation, the ice cream themed toys and favors for the kids, the ice cream cone piñata, and the Pin the Cherry on the Ice Cream Cone family game.  I loved that. What more can I say, other than terrific!  Highly thought out, no detail was left unattended!  Thanks again, I love you for all you do for everyone to make them feel special – especially me.”

—Anita Holland, Mother & Guest of Honor

“I had the pleasure of working with Cindy Torry on several events sponsored by the North Jersey Chapter of the NMSS for which Berlex was a corporate sponsor. Cindy’s outstanding organizational abilities, attention to detail and commitment to the cause made working with her an enjoyable and worthwhile experience, and delivered a financially successful outcome for the NMSS.  In working with Berlex as a corporate sponsor, Cindy consistently displayed her understanding of the corporate culture that enabled her to be sensitive to our issues regarding executives’ time and level of involvement. In addition, she was aware of the potential impact of every aspect of the event as a reflection on our company and made sure every detail was addressed appropriately. Planning meetings were of appropriate length and always stayed on topic and were coordinated to fit within the committee’s demanding and varied schedules.

Cindy’s energy and positive spirit carries an event from beginning to end, bringing along everyone involved. She creatively develops a theme that ties the event together and does not miss any detail along the way. I strongly recommend Cindy as an event planner, not only because of her outstanding organizational abilities, but also because of her sincere commitment to doing the best job possible.”

—Anne King, Manager, Public Affairs / Berlex Laboratories, Inc.

“I've been co-chair of the National MS Golf Outing for 16 years. Unfortunately, the first 10 of those years Cindy Torry was not involved.  In the 6 years she has been involved, the event has gone off without a hitch.  Cindy has the unique ability to be detail-oriented while still focusing on the big picture.  She has produced events for me that are professional, fun and completely organized while anticipating participant's needs.  By making sure we keep our costs as low as possible and handling all the details, she makes my “job” of focusing on maximizing revenue for the charity very easy.”

—Michael Lotito, CEO / Media IQ

 “Cindy Torry has added that special touch to many fundraising events sponsored by the Tomorrows Children's Fund.  Her musical talents have enhanced our cocktail receptions for many singles nights we have held.  Cindy provided our foundation with background music without any major fuss on our part.  She also has served as a volunteer, lending her insight to many successful functions sponsored by our foundation.  Her ideas were top notch and she has the ability to follow through on her vision, completing the tasks in a timely and affordable manor.”

—Kathy Ambrose, Administrative Director, Tomorrows Children’s Fund / Hackensack University Medical Center

"Cindy, we can not thank you enough for all your time, energy, and talents in planning the wedding music! It was so incredibly beautiful and everyone loved the singing – especially Forever I Do which is inscribed in Fabian’s wedding band! You are such an awesome sister and thanks for all the little ways you helped!”

—Jennifer & Fabian Jimenez, Bride & Groom

“Cindy Torry has graciously donated her professional musical talent for the last seven years to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Greater North Jersey Spring Luncheon.  The event is a special opportunity for individuals with multiple sclerosis who reside in long term care facilities to engage in outside social activity.  The event consists of white glove service luncheon and entertainment.  Cindy has a special way of engaging her audience and has even encouraged individuals to sing along and sway to classic favorites!  Her ability to compose combinations of background music adds an uplifting and elegant touch at the same time.  Cindy is a natural professional.  She consistently has an upbeat and enthusiastic approach to her work.  We value the special contributions and the rapport she has built with our organization.”

—Pat Evertz, Chapter Programs Manager / National MS Society – Greater North Jersey Chapter

“Ms. Torry was very instrumental in advising me on what appropriate wedding music to choose for my church wedding ceremony that suited my musical taste. The lovely music chosen by Ms. Torry made my church wedding very special for my husband and I, as well as our guests. Her upbeat personality coupled with her professionalism throughout our working relationship during my wedding was great. She met with both my husband and I on several occasions to go over the wedding music to make sure it was right. Ms. Torry has both an extraordinary singing and piano playing ability that is sure to make anyone's special event a memorable one.”

—Elaine Schaublin-Allen, Bride
