The quality of their work was a 10 out of 10, and my husband and I were so elated to see that our wedding plans came to fruition exactly as we had envisioned. Eternal Events acted as the executive director, planner, and full designer/decorator for our special day, and they truly made our dreams of a wedding come true.

I feel so lucky to have worked with Jena, and you will not regret the decision. Prior to hiring her, I had so much stress surrounding making our wedding perfect.

She knows all of the vendors in the area and beyond. She will not lead you astray! Also, she could charge so much more for her work, but she keeps things affordable.

“Working with Stephanie was one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning journey. We brought her on about a month before the big day, and from the moment she stepped in, she brought an incredible sense of calm, clarity, and joy to the entire process. Despite being a very Type A bride who had a handle on most details, Stephanie still managed to ask questions I hadn’t even thought of, things that made a huge difference. She seamlessly took over all vendor communication, organized every moving piece, and had such a natural command of the process that we were able to fully trust her and breathe. Our vendors absolutely loved working with her, which made everything feel even more cohesive and stress-free. Stephanie was so easy to work with and made everything genuinely fun. She kept us organized in the lead-up, and on the day of, she ran the show—behind the scenes, in front of it, and everywhere in between. She made sure everything ran smoothly, and honestly? In our eyes, nothing went wrong. Throughout the day, she constantly checked in with us, made sure we were hydrated, well-fed, and having a blast—while also juggling every logistical detail in the background. Her attention to detail and dedication to our experience allowed us to be fully present and just soak in the joy of the day. We are endlessly grateful for Stephanie’s vision, energy, and care. Our day was everything we hoped for—and we couldn’t have done it without her.”

We believe every couple deserves a professional advocate who values the marriage as much as the party, which is why we never enforce minimum budgets. Our mission is to make sure you show up as the guest of honor, fully present in every moment while we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

“I don’t know how to put into words how incredible Richelle was. Love, Evermore was the best decision we made for our wedding! Richelle was invaluable to us, she made everything flow effortlessly! Through the initial talk with Nicole and then our video call with Richelle, we knew they were the team for us. Richelle had a design call with us, then a design day looking at linens, walking through our Venus and through every step of the way, she gave me such amazing feedback, advice and logistics! Wedding week arrived and she was on top of everything! I was going to make 4 table florals but I ran out of time- Richelle made them (and she may should also be a florist bc OH MY WORD!!! The florals were everything I could have dreamed!!!). We held our ceremony at French Quarter Inn and cocktail hour and dinner at Circa 1886, we ended up having to move inside due to threat of rain, and Richelle made that so seamless! I truly cannot image how our day would have been without her. I gained a friend and I am so thankful for her and for Love, Evermore! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Love, Evermore. I promise you, it’ll be the best wedding decision you make!”

I’m Crystal, the owner & principal wedding planner of CCE Weddings. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals & feel blessed to get to work with such wonderful people each day! Based out of Charlotte, NC, I’ve been planning weddings for over ten years now. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have my planner in hand & weddings on the brain. After graduating from UNCC with a degree in Communications and Sociology, I started planning weddings & events for Providence Country Club and The Club at Longview. In 2020, I decided to start my own planning company and become a Flight Attendant for Delta.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Crystal with Crystal Clear Events was absolutely unbelievable. From the moment I met her, I knew she was exactly the person I wanted handling one of the most important days of my life. I had attended countless weddings that felt hectic and disorganized, and I always felt that much of that came down to the wedding coordinator. Because of that, Crystal was the very first vendor I hired. As someone with OCD who naturally feels most comfortable being in control, trusting someone else with such a major event was not easy. Crystal quickly earned that trust. Throughout the planning process, she was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide reassurance. Her experience was evident in every interaction, especially through the thoughtful questions she asked about details I would have never considered. Our wedding journey was far from typical. We had to postpone and completely reschedule our wedding celebration after my husband (who was my fiancé at the time) was diagnosed with cancer. Crystal didn't hesitate for a second. She immediately stepped in to help coordinate the changes and made a difficult situation so much easier. During an incredibly stressful time, her support and professionalism meant more than she will ever know. What truly sets Crystal apart is her attention to detail and remarkable memory. Even after nearly two years between our original planning process and the actual celebration, she remembered conversations and preferences we had discussed long before. On the wedding day, Crystal and her team were nothing short of extraordinary. They ensured every detail unfolded seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Several situations arose throughout the day that required quick problem-solving, but I often didn't even know there was an issue because Crystal had already handled it before it reached me. Her ability to stay calm under pressure and execute flawlessly is truly unmatched. One of the greatest gifts Crystal gave us was peace of mind. I never once felt stressed or concerned that something was going wrong. Instead, I was able to focus entirely on celebrating with my husband, family, and friends. I have never seen a wedding coordinator who looked like they were genuinely having fun while working, but Crystal absolutely did. It was clear how much she loves what she does. After the wedding, I received countless compliments from guests who said she was the best wedding coordinator they had ever seen. One of my bridesmaids said it felt like being backstage on a movie set because everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and what they needed to do. That level of organization only happens because of exceptional leadership behind the scenes. Her dedication didn't even end when the wedding was over. When a venue-owned linen went missing, she tracked it down through a vendor within minutes. From planning and vendor communication to flawless execution on the wedding day, Crystal and her team exceeded every expectation. If you are considering hiring Crystal Clear Events, stop looking and book them. Crystal and her team are worth their weight in gold, and our wedding would not have been the incredible experience it was without them.”

Hi! I’m Steph, owner and lead wedding planner of SC Signature Celebrations, and your personal stress reliever. I’m a former educator turned wedding planner. I love balancing my creative spirit with my logistical expertise to make peoples’ dream days come true. After 8 years of event planning, I decided to focus on weddings because I’m passionate about creating lifelong memories. I’m here to collaborate with you on creating your dream wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we started planning almost two years before our wedding, Steph completely understood our vision. She never tried to steer us toward what a wedding "should" look like—instead, she encouraged us to create a day that felt authentic to us, even when our choices were a little unconventional. Having someone who genuinely supported what *we* wanted made the entire planning process so much less stressful. She also somehow managed to talk me through every single one of my little wedding planning menty b's. Whether I was spiraling over tiny details or showing up with what felt like completely unhinged ideas or last-minute thoughts, she never made me feel like I was being ridiculous. She listened, reassured me, and somehow always found a way to make me feel calm and confident again. Having someone who could balance professionalism with that level of kindness and patience made all the difference. The greatest gift Steph gave us was our wedding day. I can honestly say I have no idea if anything went wrong, because if it did, we never knew about it. My husband and I were able to be fully present with each other and soak in every moment. We never left each other's side, and at one point we even snuck away during the reception for a little nap because we were feeling overstimulated. Instead of worrying about timelines, logistics, or putting out fires, we got to experience the day exactly as we had hoped: together. It wasn't until days and even weeks after the wedding that we learned some guests had opinions about a few of our non-traditional choices, like not taking formal photos with every single guest or taking time for ourselves during the reception. The fact that we didn't know any of that in the moment is a testament to Steph. She protected our peace and made sure we stayed in our own little magical bubble all day long. Looking back, that's what stands out the most. Our wedding wasn't perfect because everything went exactly according to plan—it was perfect because we got to be completely present with each other, free from stress and outside expectations. That is an incredible gift, and one we'll always be grateful for. Steph is so much more than an amazing wedding planner. After nearly two years of planning together, she's become a friend, and I can't imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, advocate for your vision, calm your anxieties, embrace your wild ideas, and make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, Steph is the person you want by your side.”

My name is Makenzie, a North Carolina native and UNC–Chapel Hill graduate with a love for creativity, organization, and meaningful moments. When I’m not researching vendors, breaking down budgets, or perfecting timelines, you can usually find me hiking, crafting, or spending time with my mini-me’s. Wedding planning felt like a natural calling once I realized I could combine my love for celebrations with my knack for lists, spreadsheets, and problem-solving. I approach each couple like a trusted friend, creating a calm, supportive planning experience so you can truly enjoy your engagement and wedding day.

“We had an amazing experience with Carolina Event Masters. We had Kenzie as our coordinator as well as two amazing assistants. We had a 7-month engagement and got married December 20, 2025 for a wedding in Henderson, NC with about 100 people in attendance. We found CEM through a NC brides Facebook page when we posted looking for day-of coordinators. CEM had several options for what level of support we needed and we went with the middle option - it comprised, in brief, day-of coordination and running the rehearsal, assistance finding a few vendors, and several planning meetings. The level of service we received was what I'd expect from a planner more than a coordinator. CEM wasn't there to show up the day-of and motion to the piano to start playing. They coordinated in advance every moment of the day to make sure it went smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Not only did they get the contact info of all the vendors for emergencies, but they confirmed every policy and communicated with them in advance to make sure they knew what to expect. They toured the church and reception venue to make sure they were familiar with the spaces. Not only did they helped with what we asked about, but they asked questions to help us avoid making last-minute decisions or missing things that were important to us that we hadn't thought about. For ex., they asked about what we wanted to happen with the flowers after the reception. They also gave us advice based on their experience. For ex., recommending we list the table assignments by last name. The rehearsal was very professional and pleasant - they were very prompt and made sure to go through everything thoroughly. The day of the wedding they split up between church/reception venue. EVERYTHING was either on-time or early all day. They went above and beyond to help set up the reception - something we definitely didn't expect from a coordinator. Our reception venue had staff that set the tables etc., and we had a florist, but CEM reviewed everything, made sure the placecards/kids bags/high chiars were in the right place down to the chair, etc. They also were familiar with the type of photobooth we rented and they set it up entirely for us. All this set up and more was just way beyond what we expected and extremely helpful. We could tell they were invested in making everything beautiful and perfect. Sarah also took several beautiful photos for us - a complete surprise and very special treat. One of our favorite photos from the night was one she took of our first dance. This also gave us a sneak peak into what the reception looked like before anyone had arrived! (All attached photos are from her). We had an issue with our seating chart and they saved the day - long story short it was going to be delivered AFTER the wedding and we thought we were out of luck. I mentioned the issue to Kenzie and when I arrived from the church after the ceremony I saw the seating chart in the doorway before our entry! She had ordered it, picked it up, and set it up for us. I don't know how she did it, but she did, and it was so thoughtful and touching that she would put in that extra effort on top of everything they had on their plates. I could go on and on but I hope this reflects just some of what CEM did for our wedding and how thrilled we were with them. They are a lovely group of people. If we HAD to cut any cost or change any vendor, they would be last on the list. It was perfect.”

“Sabrina and Chelsea were a pleasure to work with since our very first call! After our intro call where we described our dream wedding, they gave us a list of recommended venues that was an immense help in our venue search. This was before we signed with them which I thought was very kind for them to do! They were very positive, friendly and patient with our many questions. We ended up doing the wedding management and tabletop design package. We worked closely with Sabrina throughout the planning and she is amazing! Always calm and reassuring that we were on track with planning. The team is super organized and also gave us planning tools like a checklist and budget tracker. Communication was always easy and I asked for monthly calls which helped a lot. The design process was fun and Sabrina was able to create our design plan based on our Pinterest board, as well as recommend vendors that fit our aesthetic. She even helped make our table signage! The day of went perfectly as planned and was absolutely beautiful! We were able to just show up without a worry! Our bridal party was also able to just enjoy the day since Lucky Day was handling everything. Sabrina and her assistant checked in with us throughout the wedding day and helped with my dress, shoes, and even had to go on the beach with us for photos. They set up all our extra decor and neatly packed everything at the end of the night so we didn’t forget anything. We had last minute changes to our schedule the week of and Sabrina was able to manage all our requests. We had our dream wedding come true and would highly recommend Lucky Day!”

“From the very beginning, I just knew Liz and her team were the right people for us. What started as finding a wedding planner quickly turned into finding people I know we’ll be friends with forever. After a falling out with another planner, I came to Liz, and she immediately went straight into planner mode. She took everything off our plate, helped us with absolutely everything, and somehow brought the vision I had in my head completely to life. I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without Liz, Caroline, and the entire team. She even did our rehearsal dinner night, made everything perfect. And then came the rain…. On my wedding day, when I saw the rain, I immediately thought, “The day is ruined.” But Liz had us prepared with a perfect plan, a rain plan, and a BIG rain plan. We were ready for whatever happened and honestly, it ended up being the BEST night. If you are even thinking about hiring Liz and her team, DO IT. You will not regret it. They are talented, organized, calm when you need them most, and genuinely care about making your day everything you dreamed it would be. Liz, Caroline, and team: you’ll forever be so special to us. We love you!”

She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any.

“Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!”

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Jacinda and her team as a wedding content creator at a wedding at The Little Chapel at Haven Ridge in Winston-Salem, and I was genuinely so impressed. From a vendor perspective, everything was incredibly well-organized, thoughtful, and smooth. The timeline flowed effortlessly, communication was clear, and every detail was handled with such care and intention. From a guest perspective, the entire day felt beautiful and elevated — the venue, the florals, the music (including a live violinist), the DJ, and the food were all absolutely wonderful. You could truly feel the level of attention given to every element. Most importantly, the bride felt calm, present, and able to fully enjoy her day — which says everything about the quality of planning behind the scenes. Jacinda and her team created such a warm, seamless experience for everyone involved. I would be more than happy to work together again and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a thoughtful and detail-oriented planner.”

“Working with Elise Murray was an absolute game-changer for our wedding planning process. From our first conversation, she responded quickly and made everything feel straightforward—no confusion or back-and-forth confusion that often comes with planning. What really set Elise apart was how she brought my Pinterest board to life while also making sure my husband felt like an equal partner in the process, which honestly doesn't happen at most weddings where the wife makes all the calls. I came to her with a very specific vision and demanding preferences, but instead of pushing back, she met every single one of my needs with incredible attention to detail and genuine pride in her work. The final result was colorful, thoughtful, and absolutely perfect. Elise treated our day like it was her own, and we couldn't be more grateful for the professionalism and care she brought to every decision.”
