Jenna at Better2Gether is, without question, the absolute BEST wedding coordinator. From the very first Zoom call we had together, I just knew she was my person. I had interviewed other coordinators, but there was something so genuine, calming, organized, and reassuring about Jenna that immediately stood out to me. From that moment on, I knew I wanted her by my side throughout this journey. I had A LOT of ideas for our wedding day — and not always the simplest ideas either. I brought Jenna so many different thoughts, visions, details, and creative touches that I’m sure there were moments she may have thought, “How are we going to pull all of this off?” But somehow, she and her incredible team made every single piece come together beautifully and seamlessly. What looked effortless on the wedding day was only possible because of how talented, organized, experienced, and dedicated Jenna truly is. One of the things I appreciated most was how supported and cared for I felt throughout the entire process. During the last month and a half leading up to our wedding, our venue went through two major staff turnovers, which created so much unexpected stress and uncertainty. While I was worried about all the moving pieces behind the scenes, Jenna remained calm, confident, and reassuring every step of the way. I still remember her telling me not to worry because she had it handled and that I would not feel any of that chaos on our wedding day — and she was absolutely right. She protected our experience and allowed us to truly enjoy every moment. What meant the most to me was how much she genuinely cared. She listened. She supported me. She helped bring my vision to life while keeping me calm and excited through the process. Planning this wedding with Jenna became such a special part of the experience for me, and I truly cherish the time we spent together creating such an unforgettable day. Our wedding day went by so quickly, but it was absolutely magical, and it’s a day we still talk and laugh about often — especially remembering all my crazy ideas and how Jenna somehow made every one of them come together perfectly. I have already told my daughter that whenever she gets married one day, she HAS to use Jenna. That’s how strongly I feel about her and the experience she created for us. If you are looking for someone who will pour her heart into your wedding and make you feel completely taken care of, Jenna and Better2Gether are truly the best of the best.

With deep local expertise, trusted vendor relationships, and a genuine love for bringing one-of-a-kind wedding visions to life, my goal is to make your planning experience feel seamless and stress-free. Wedding planning becomes fun, personal & thoughtfully guided, so you feel seen, heard, and taken care of every step of the way.

I will start by saying this: working with Sasha was my favorite part of planning our wedding! Seriously, we could not have done it without her. We live outside Washington, DC and having local expertise and recommendations in OBX was the main reason we chose to work with a wedding planner. Sasha was an easy choice for us from the start because of her energy and passion you can see on her website and Instagram, and she provided that wedding planning expertise and SO much more! She made wedding planning FUN - and I never thought I’d be that bride. I am so thankful for all the time, energy, thought, and so much care that Sasha poured into us throughout our wedding planning process. She was an incredibly valuable source of knowledge and experience when it came to logistics and vendors, someone to vent with and bounce ideas off of, and also a friend! We shared many laughs and jokes throughout our 12 months of working together which was so fun. In addition to the logistics and vendors, I also relied on Sasha for a lot of the aesthetic and decorative elements, and she totally delivered! Her attention to detail, eye for style, and artistic touch was absolutely stunning and brought all the little details together into the most perfect and beautiful wedding day. When our wedding day finally arrived, I was SO excited to see her! I literally did not stress once on my wedding day and I 100% have Sasha to thank for that. She took care of EVERY little detail with a smile, and also calmed my nerves anytime I needed it. Sasha quite literally brought our dream wedding to life and I enjoyed every second of working with her! If you are getting married in the Outer Banks, I highly recommend that you reach out to Sasha. I promise you, she will take such great care of you and your wedding day!

Our approach is refined, intentional, and deeply personal. We quietly orchestrate every detail behind the scenes, allowing you to be fully present and enjoy your celebration as it naturally unfolds.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Amy Haywood and White Rose Co. on several events over the past couple years, and every wedding we’ve worked together has been executed at an exceptionally high level. Amy is the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and dedicated to ensuring every aspect of the event reflects her clients’ vision. At the same time, she is genuinely fun to work with, which creates a positive atmosphere for both clients and vendors alike. One of the things that stands out most about Amy is her ability to coordinate seamlessly with all vendors while keeping the client’s wishes at the center of everything she does. Her communication, leadership, and attention to detail make event days run smoothly and efficiently, even when managing complex timelines and logistics. It’s also clear that I’m not the only one who enjoys working with her. Watching her interact with other vendors, wedding guests, and clients, it’s easy to see the respect and appreciation she has earned from everyone around her. I sincerely hope we continue to build our business relationship and work together on many more events in the years ahead. Amy consistently delivers excellence, and I would highly recommend her and White Rose Co. to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism, expertise, and a wonderful personality. - DJ Mikey of Mixology DJ Entertainment

Michelle recently served as our wedding event coordinator for our June wedding in the Texas Hill Country. We hired her about a year prior after locking in half of our vendors knowing inevitably that we would need coordination help for the day of our event. In simple words, my fiancé and I had an exceptional wedding day experience. Michelle and her team went straight to work and ensured everything was set up according to what we wanted. My fiancé and I both felt at peace as a result of her endless assistance in making sure we had everything at all moments of the day. Our guests also gave us positive feedback in regard to all the aspects and felt the intention with all the little details we included. I mentioned all this because I know it goes back to the beginning when we first hired Michelle. From the start, she was very invested in our vision and helped guide us in our planning journey. She had so many great vendor recommendations and was always a message away if needed. To sum it all up I would choose Michelle and her team every time.

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.

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.

Jenna is basically a wizard in the wedding planner world. She helped plan our wedding that was one day after another on the same weekend, and was still able to absolutely crush it! During a time where there's typically a lot of stress, Jenna is able to put you at ease with her ability to remain calm under pressure, organized when there are a million things to keep track of, and most importantly, kind to everyone she works with. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body, and having someone like that who also values your event as much as you do meant the world to us.

Our perfected planning process means your wedding day requires just one thing from you: showing up. Why 3 months? This is when experienced planning prevents last-minute chaos, and you can hand off the stress right when timelines, vendors, and logistics matter most.

Where do I even begin?? Savannah made my day absolutely beautiful, seamless, stress free and organized! The very idea of planning a wedding in 7 months was enough to overwhelm me and she kept me on track with what needed to be done and when. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! Our Hilton Head wedding was truly the best day ever and that is in big part because of her. My mother in law loved her so much she asked me if Savannah would be willing to travel to Texas for my sister in laws wedding when that happens. If you’re unsure of who to choose, Olivia Lauren is it.

Let's face it, every couple needs wedding planning help and traditional full-blown wedding planning is super expensive! At The Venlist, we're providing a modern way for busy couples to get wedding planning help at a price point that fits their budget from coast to coast.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

Paris truly transformed my wedding into an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, she was an invaluable partner, guiding me through every step of the process with ease and grace. Her vision and creativity brought my dream wedding to life, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere that exceeded my expectations. One of the most significant blessings was Paris’s ability to ensure that both of my divorced parents felt equally involved in the celebration. This was a daunting task, but she handled it with such care and understanding that it became a seamless part of the day. Paris’s expertise extended beyond the ceremony. She skillfully negotiated contracts, ensuring that our elegant vision remained within our budget. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of the planning. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy and love of the moment. Paris’s professionalism and dedication were truly remarkable, and I am forever grateful for her exceptional service.

Brittany is literally an Angel sent from heaven. She not only made my vision come to life, she made it even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. She gives the best advice, and would answer my late night texts if I was stressed about something. She took all my stress away, and I absolutely could not have had such a beautiful, seamless day without her. She has a calm spirit, but will stand up for you if need be. I literally feel like I’m losing a friend now that our wedding is over, but I know I’ll see her again because I’m going to recommend her to every single bride I talk to from now on!
