Cole and I had the absolute pleasure of working with the best wedding and travel planner we could have ever asked for. 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. We love to travel, and having Nicole make everything so effortless was truly a blessing. If you are looking to plan an event, look no further—Nicole is it! Thank you, Nicole, for all the time, effort, and care you put into our big day. You are amazing! Love, Cole and Jessica

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. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, you do. If you think you want anyone other than Tara and Premier Party Planners, you don't!

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.

I believe that coordinating an event should be fun, exciting and stress-free. With years of experience and an everlasting passion for what I do, rest assured you will get the event you were dreaming of. All I need from you is to describe exactly what you wish for. And, on my end? I'll make sure to tailor a magnificent event that will exceed your expectations. There's nothing I love more than seeing the look on my clients' faces after they arrive at the venue, because I know the job was well done.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Bre was easily one of the best vendor choices we made while wedding planning. Our wedding ceremony became a kind of “pop-up” style event and Bre rolled with every decision and last minute detail we threw at her. With her day-of coordination package, we were able to have 2 pre wedding meetings and a rehearsal the day before. I went into the rehearsal feeling nervous about how things would go and left feeling so reassured and excited! The day of the wedding Bre checked in with me and made sure things were running smoothly. I felt so calm and confident walking up to the venue knowing Bre was in charge and bringing our vision to life! The whole day went beautifully and I know it’s because Bre was working her magic behind the scenes. She stayed until the last moment of clean up and made sure all our personal items and gifts made it home with us. Beyond just receiving a great service, it was so special to work with someone who truly celebrated with us and took care of us like we were old friends. I would 100% recommend working with Magical Moments and wish we could get married again to continue working with them!

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!

We used Raven as a three-month out coordinator and she was nothing short of perfect. I'm a detail oriented person and had a very clear vision for my day, so while I knew I could handle booking vendors and designing the event, I needed someone to help me execute and keep me stress free on the big day. Raven did all that and more. She has excellent systems in place to make sure she knows every detail before your wedding day. She helped me catch things I'd forgotten and make final decisions where someone experienced planning weddings was so helpful. On the day of our wedding I had zero doubts Raven knew how I wanted our event to look and feel and she executed to a T. At the end of the night she took care of everything and my husband and I were able to waltz away in carefree bliss. I truly couldn't recommend hiring Aisle Host enough to help keep your wedding stress free!

Jackie was wonderful to work with. I had a really clear vision of what I wanted and she executed it with beauty bringing creative ideas and suggestions along the way. She coordinated all of our day of vendors seamlessly, made sure our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch and even suggested a makeup artist when I was struggling to find one ing price range. Even though we only did day of coordination- she was always there to answer questions throughout our planning process, and was kind and accessible. She also has a great inventory of decor items we made great use of that also saved us from making a lot of single use purchases!

My name is Jen and I'm the owner of Southern Skies. The name comes from my love of seeing the NC stars on a clear night with its calmness and unfiltered beauty. I've been planning events since I was 16 and been planning professionally since 2014. My goal for Southern Skies is to plan beautiful weddings for amazing couples, help take their stress away and do it with kindness. I'm a true believer that love is love and life is a celebration that always calls for a glass of bubbly! When I'm not planning weddings, you can find me at my laptop with a glass of red wine, brunching with friends or exploring the world.

Our April 4th wedding was better than we could’ve imagined! It definitely would NOT have been possible without our incredible planner Lauren G!!!! Lauren was the best as she coordinated cross communication and follow ups with our vendors, answered all of our questions throughout many week night meetings, and ensured all of the details were thought of and handled with care on our wedding day. Her patience and near unlimited access in the months leading up to everything took so much stress off of us too. Plus she’s a genuinely great person!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and her assistant! I originally thought I could plan our destination wedding on my own, but I quickly became overwhelmed and realized I needed help. From our very first phone call, Emily stepped in and made the entire process feel manageable and exciting. She coordinated with vendors, offered suggestions I hadn’t even considered, and handled every detail with such care. Our rehearsal and wedding day were completely stress-free because of 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.

Neon Rainbow Creatives has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style is prompt, easy, and kind, making the entire process seamless. The quality of their work is very professional - they are flexible, truly understood my vision for my graphic design project, and brought innovative suggestions to the table. I highly recommend Neon Rainbow Creatives to any couple looking for a wedding planning team that delivers a truly customizable experience.

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.
