In my opinion, if you need the app almost ready for september.. use a lightweight framework like Codeigniter or ,as you said, with CakePHP (if you've worked with them). You can do a lot of things fast enough with the admin generator of Symfony and the development of the frontend with its template engine, cache etc.. its amazing but... I prefer to have a good knowledge of the framework I use, even for small applications, and Symfony has a big learning curve that you have to walk until you're comfortable enough to develop with limits on time.
The only exception would be if you already used Propel or Doctrine.. so you could skip the model part of the learning, or if you're sure that the app will be extended in the future.. so it would be wise to try with Symfony, thinking in the future requirements. In any other case.. take the safe option. I used a couple of frameworks and when I knew about Symfony and tried it.. I fell in love. But.. as I said. It needs time and, if you're in the hurry, maybe you could try some testing apps with Symfony while you use another framework you know to develop the app for your client. Also, if you decide for Symfony, use the 1.4 version. v2.0 is not for production yet.
