Everlasting Moments 
Rating: 4.9 (7 reviews)
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Sanford, NC

I've always had a deep passion for organizing and planning which is why I chose to start my own Event Planning business. I knew at a young age being a Special Events/Wedding Planner is a dream I wanted to pursue.

“Working with Everlasting Moments was a game-changer for our wedding day. Jackie stayed on top of everything and responded to our needs right away—when it rained before our ceremony, she moved us inside with all our decorations without missing a beat. She also caught that we'd only booked our bartender for five hours and quietly arranged for an extra one so our guests never noticed a gap in service. What impressed us most was how Jackie thinks ahead and plans for every detail, which saved us real money since she has tons of wedding items couples can borrow. Her communication was crystal clear from start to finish, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. We'd recommend Everlasting Moments to any couple looking for a planner who truly has their back.”

“Jasmine and Shayla were the wedding coordinators of our dreams! Salt & Light's month-of coordination package was perfect for our Durham wedding, which we planned in 8 months (March to November). After picking a venue, booking vendors, ordering décor and invitations, and making so many other choices over the course of the previous 7 months, it was amazing to have these two ladies come in right as we were hitting our wall of exhaustion and overwhelm in the final month before our big day. Putting together a wedding is a sprawling project with so many little details involved, and it can be easy for things to slip through the cracks, even for meticulous/anxious planners like me! Thank goodness for Shayla and Jasmine's experience, expertise, and attention to fine points--they had their eyes on every little thing, and it was so comforting to us to know the two of them had it covered so we didn't have to worry about the small stuff. They gently guided us through making decisions we didn't even know we needed to make, and helped us think through all the moving parts of the wedding day and how the various elements of our plans worked together (this was especially crucial when conceptualizing how our various vendors' needs would weave together into one cohesive schedule). On the day of our wedding, and in the days after, we had several family members and friends comment on how wonderful our coordinators were, and what an excellent job they had done at bringing our wedding to life. In addition to their competence, confidence and professionalism, Jasmine and Shayla are also deeply kind and caring people. They were rooting for us and advocating for our needs throughout those final weeks, through our wedding day, and beyond. The two of them were genuinely invested in our story, our new marriage and our future, and their enthusiasm for making our special event come together was palpable. It was a true pleasure and a privilege to work with these ladies to make the most important day of our lives a success, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.”

Nicole’s attention to detail is truly unmatched—she thought of everything we might have missed and made it all happen seamlessly. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we genuinely could not have done it without her. Nicole traveled with us to our destination wedding and held our hand throughout the entire process. She was always available, incredibly supportive, and ready to help with anything we needed. On top of her professionalism and experience, she has the most fun and upbeat personality, which made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We needed a planner that knows how to stand on business and deal with logistics for a ginormous crowd (300), but also be someone that can vibe with us because they'll be dealing with all our shenanigans during the planning process on the day of the wedding. We went through a handful of wedding planner consultations before we met with Carina and after meeting her - it was definitely wedding-planner-love at first sight! And it was the best decision we made! During the year long planning process, Carina was able to lay out the whole process so we never felt rushed. She also designed our whole wedding beautifully, because neither I nor my now husband have a single artistic bone in our body. Aside from her impeccable planning skills, she is just a delightful person to be around who sincerely just loves what she does and bringing her couples vision to life (while staying reasonably under budget). She took what is usually a stressful process and made it as fun as you can make wedding planning. My now husband and I didn't think there was any way we could have our 300 Vietnamese wedding without any major bumps (just due to the sheer number of people), but thanks to Carina and her wedding magic, we had the most beautiful perfect day! We couldn't have had our perfect day without her!”

“My fiance (now husband) and I worked with Tara for partial planning from March 2024-June 2025. We spoke with Tara early in the planning process and immediately knew she was the perfect planner for us! For starters, Tara is possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. We could tell from our initial conversation that she knows her stuff - stuff we definitely would not have thought of or been prepared for. She answered every question we had throughout the planning process and helped us understand not only what would be the best decision for our guests, but what would help us keep our wedding authentic to us as a couple. When it looked like we would need to pivot on several things (umbrellas, rain plan, etc.) the week/day of our wedding, Tara kept us informed and kept us calm. From the first phone call we had with her to our grand exit, Tara handled everything with grace and ease. To put it plainly, Tara was the perfect fit for our wedding in every way. Working with Tara was by far the best decision we made throughout wedding planning. We are so grateful to her and the rest of the Premier Party Planners team for executing the best day of our lives.

Carolina Event Masters

  • Offer

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. 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!”

“We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!”

If you've made it here, I'm guessing your wedding doesn't look like a Pinterest board full of blush and neutral linen. Good. A queer-led creative director, day-of coordinator, and the person who actually wants to hear about your weird, specific, beautiful vision and then make it happen without you having to manage a single vendor text on your wedding day. Here's what I do: I show up before anyone else, I run the whole day so you don't have to, and I become the wall between you and every vendor question, every logistical hiccup, and every moment that threatens to pull you out of your own wedding. You get to be present. That's the whole point.

“Brensley is down-to-earth, thorough, and warm, and her work is SPECTACULAR. I have worked with Brensley countless times in the past, and every time she delivers quality and thoughtfulness that is grounded by her joy and kind soul. She is beyond creative and works tirelessly to ensure that your needs and wants are exceeded. She was so involved in making sure my couple had no stress and kept a smile on everyone's face, including mine.”

Born and raised in North Carolina, I learned from an early age the power of gatherings and gratitude. My family taught me to cherish the moments that bring us together, and it’s this spirit that inspires my work today. To honor my family’s legacy, I named my business Tova Yvents, a nod to my family’s matriarch, “Yvette”—a name passed down to me to carry forward their love for connection and celebration. I absolutely love celebrating others and the journey that goes into creating meaningful experiences. From the planning and anticipation to the emotions and memories made, it’s a true joy to be part of your most memorable moments.

“Working with Tova from Tova Yvents is always such a joy! As a wedding photographer, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with her, and I've always had a seamless, positive experience. She’s incredibly organized, calm under pressure, and genuinely cares about her couples and the vendor team alike. Her communication is effortless, and she has such a thoughtful, professional presence on the wedding day. Everything always runs smoothly when Tova’s involved. I always look forward to working alongside her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for an experienced, kind, and detail-oriented planner!”

Hi, I'm Ally! I'm a seasoned event planner pivoting to weddings because your love is way more fun than KPI's, am I right? I'm organized enough to have a spreadsheet for everything and flexible enough to laugh when the timeline shifts. My background in professional event planning means I come in with real experience, real vendor relationships, and a calm, supportive presence that makes the whole process ~actually~ feel fun. Your day deserves someone who's as invested in the details as you are, and that's exactly what you'll get with me! :) If pricing is a concern for you, reach out anyways! Let's find what works best for you and your budget.

“Ally is wonderful, warm, and organized! She is thorough in her work making sure all the little details needed for any event are thought of and taken care of! Events and wedding related activities are her bread and butter - Ally truly made planning my bachelorette (my Type A self wanted to make all the decisions and let my bridesmaids just enjoy) and my wedding shower seem easy and effortless. Ally helped me throw two major wedding related events where my vision was executed flawlessly. I am very grateful that Ally will be there on my wedding day because I know anything that could go wrong will be handled without me even being notified. Couldn’t recommend more if I tried! Pictures are decorations from my bachelorette weekend.”
