Something New Event Planning

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Swannanoa, NC

Hey, there! I am a licensed, certified, insured "Type A" wedding planner and coordinator based out of Greenville, SC. I fell in love with the Wedding Industry when my sister got married during the HEIGHT of COVID (August 2020) and we were put in the position of having to make about a million changes to accommodate health and safety needs. Since then, I've helped so many couples plan their perfect day. I love "The Office," vanilla iced coffees, reading mystery books, Jesus, and tuxedo cats. I enjoy an adrenaline rush bouldering, doing aerial silks, or hot power vinyasa.

Tori was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, her communication style was organized, prompt, clear, and was always available to answer our questions. She was fantastic - she was incredibly thorough, always had ideas to make things better, was on top of everything, and completely committed to making our day perfect. She kept my young boys in line and ensured they were having fun, but with just enough toughness to make sure they took things seriously. Which was needed with those two! lol She always made sure we were where we needed to be when we needed to be there. It was so nice to just be able to enjoy the day! Again, can’t say it enough Tori was wonderful and went above and beyond what she was hired to do, helping with so many details that were beyond her responsibilities. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Where do we start. Our venue for our Friday, Saturday and Sunday events cancelled on us six weeks out, our bartenders sent our cake crashing to the ground and our florist really didn’t get it right. However, Morgan and company helped us manage all of it with grace and made the process as easy as possible on us. We felt incredibly grateful to have them be part of our day! They made the process much less stressful and the day of we could relax and know things were being taken care of. Exactly what we needed!! From literally chasing down our florist, her team having to come in hot with day of decor where the vendor messed up, to having to move our outdoor reception indoors due to unexpectedly cold weather, they never missed a beat. Looking back, it was a wonderful weekend with family and friends, and we could not recommend them more.

Debora is a fantastic wedding planner! I have nothing but good things to say about her and the experience of working with her. My husband and I got married at The Farm at Old Edwards in Highlands, North Carolina, in 2024, and Debora was there for our rehearsal the day before and coordinated everything the day of the wedding. We started working with Debora 8 months before the wedding when I had picked out some vendors, but a lot of the vendors we worked with were recommended by Debora, which was great. She made the whole rehearsal and wedding day run seamlessly!! My husband and I were really able to enjoy the day because she took care of everything. She let the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and our families know where to be and when, and we didn’t have to worry about any of it. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone with tons of experience in the wedding industry and who wants to have a relaxing and fun wedding day, which is exactly what we had!!

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
From the start, Crystal was everything we didn’t know we needed. Shortly after our engagement, my (now) husband and I had just lost a family member, and she not only helped us with a payment plan that worked for us, but she made sure we never felt like we were being treated differently. She worked with me for a year - helping with vendors, keeping me sane, and bringing my vision to life. And on the wedding day? She did everything. My dress straps popped with every hug - she had safety pins ready. My bridesmaids didn’t have bustles, so she created them on the spot. We had a last-minute venue issue - she handled it. When the rain forced a ceremony flip, she reorganized everything in 10 minutes. We were late to almost every meeting, off-script half the time, and definitely a rowdy bunch, but Crystal never lost her patience. By the end of the night, she felt like family. If you’re debating hiring a coordinator-just do it. And make sure it’s Crystal. Best decision we made since getting engaged, hands down!

Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.

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.

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.

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!

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 Lovely Luna Events Co. for our wedding day coordination was an absolute pleasure. From the very first interaction, Angie and her team demonstrated a consistent, quick response style, providing us with detailed information to make informed decisions. Their detail-oriented, timely, and organized approach was invaluable, as they helped us secure essential rentals like table linens just days before the wedding. With a large bridal party and family, Angie expertly directed the chaos into the ceremony chapel with a smooth, seamless flow. Looking back, we wish we had hired Lovely Luna for their full planning services from the start, as their expertise was so clearly beneficial. We will be highly recommending Angie and her team to all of our newly engaged friends.

They did a fantastic job with the flowers, allowing us to let them handle the style and overall look of the bouquets, table pieces, and the beautiful flower arch, which all perfectly matched our vision.

Stacy planned our wedding from start to finish, and I can’t imagine doing it any other way. She genuinely loves weddings and all the minutia that make them meaningful to each couple, and it really shows. Whether we were picking a photographer or deciding what kind of candles to use, she was always full of practical advice and creative ideas tailored to our tastes and budget. Stacy isn’t just a wedding planner — she’s a partner who is eager to understand and then produce your unique vision for the day. Stacy goes above and beyond every step of the way. Her motto — which you’ll hear a lot — is “we can do that!” Just one small example of many: I procrastinated on getting a hairstylist only to finally do a trial and realize I really didn’t like the result. Without even being asked, Stacy immediately jumped in and found multiple incredible hairstylists, even reaching out to confirm their availability and pricing. I’ve had so many people compliment me on the wedding, specifically how thoughtful and well-executed it was. Almost every single one of them has mentioned Stacy. Her professionalism, competency, and uncanny ability to subtly resolve any last-second problems makes for a stress-free event where your only job truly is to enjoy the day. And her attention to detail (like putting cute tags on the water carafes with refill instructions) makes even the littlest pieces feel special. She was always exactly where I needed her on the wedding day, checking in, making sure we were fed, re-bustling my dress moments before our first dance. I was able to really relax knowing she could handle whatever came up. If you’re hoping to find someone who is as excited as you are about seeing your dream wedding come to life, Stacy’s the one. My husband and I are still surprised by just how much we loved every moment of our wedding, which was in large part thanks to Stacy.

Courtney and her team at Combe & Co were AMAZING! As an event planner and type A personality it was hard to turn something over to someone when you have a vision in your head of what it should look like Those fears and that anxiety were put to rest as soon as I met Courtney and her team. Her month, week and day of coordination went off without a hitch. There were hiccups as with all weddings but I never even knew about them. Her team knew what I needed before I ever even said anything. I cant recommend Combe & Co to enough people.
