Something New Event Planning

  • Serves Arden, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our original wedding planner failed us when we needed them most, and what should have been one of the happiest times of our lives quickly became overwhelming and stressful. Golden Forest Events stepped in and immediately brought organization, professionalism, and a sense of calm to a situation that felt like it was falling apart. They helped take control of the details, communicated with the people involved, worked through problems behind the scenes, and made sure our wedding could still move forward. Instead of allowing us to spend our wedding day worrying about everything that had gone wrong, they focused on solutions and allowed us to focus on actually getting married and enjoying the day. What stood out most was their willingness to step into a difficult situation that they did not create and still treat our wedding as though it had been theirs to manage from the beginning. They were professional, responsive, compassionate, and incredibly resourceful. There are so many things that could have gone differently without their involvement. We will always be grateful that Golden Forest Events was there when we needed help the most. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that can not only create a beautiful event but also remain composed, organized, and solutions-focused when unexpected situations arise, I highly recommend Golden Forest Events. They did not simply help with our wedding they helped save it.

Kate is amazing! I was hesitant about hiring a coordinator at first, because I thought I could do everything myself, but Kate from A Touch of Whimsi Weddings & Events completely changed my mind.

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
Working with Crystal, CCE Weddings, was truly a blessing. Thankfully, after a months into our wedding planning process, the Instagram algorithm place Crystal on our for you page. After our consultation, we walked away confident that Crystal was the right person to help guide us to the wedding that we envisioned. The 6 months that we worked together proved it to be true. The word "thorough" explains our first meeting together. She assessed where we were in the planning process; and began our working document that would continued to be used as a reference and source of communication. Most notably, she inquired about our values and vision for the celebration of our union. In the subsequent months, our relationship with Crystal continued to emerged. During this period she honored each of our non-negotiables. However, in many other cases, we developed a trust that allowed us to yield to her expertise. This consisted of listing options, exploring pros and cons of each scenario, and allowing us to voice our considerations. Transparently, throughout the process, there were many outside challenges, particularly with family. Crystal exuded great patience and understanding as she helped us think intentionally about how to adjust through obstacles. While the months leading up to the wedding were significant, the day of was a clear representation of the value that Crystal brought to our wedding day experience. For the bulk of the day, my wife and I were able to be present with our wedding party and family. As expected, Crystal managed all communication with vendors, venue, and other parties, which alleviated the weight from our shoulders. I vividly remember being able to share a moment with my groomsmen, with a complete peace of mind, knowing that things were being squared away. Importantly, Crystal was an advocate for the vision that we outlined in our very first meeting. When circumstances like the weather posed potential obstacles to our arrangements, she followed our designated chain of communication, but ultimately made sure the moment aligned with what she knew we desired, down to the very last minute. That was the most admirable aspect of our experience with Crystal. We're forever grateful for her professionalism, promptness, thoroughness, and most of all, intentionally with helping to curate such an intimate atmosphere for us and our guests. It's with the utmost respect and appreciation for Crystal that we recommend her to any couple who is looking for a wedding planner with see you through the journey. (Photo Credit: Delk Develops)

I love that she wasn’t in our faces or constantly bothering us for photos/videos. This way, we were able to enjoy every aspect of our day! Katelyn truly embodied what being “behind the scenes” means! She was also always there when someone did want to ask for a photo, and always obliged, even when my mom was constantly asking her LOL.

Theresa was absolutely amazing! She coordinated and decorated our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The decorations were better than we could have envisioned and our timeline was smooth sailing. I have catered weddings and almost every wedding had some hitch but ours did not. Theresa was prepared for every second but was also flexible as needed. She made the day stress free and was a comfort in the process. Her communication, professionalism, warmth, and preparedness was over a five star! You do not realize how much goes into planning a wedding until you start planning one and without Theresa many things would have been missed, things as simple as what drinks will you be drinking out of to important things like who is cutting your cake after the feeding of the cake. We never had to worry about missing something or forgetting something because Theresa was knowledgeable about the order and process of wedding planning. If you ask she will tell you how things are done traditionally but she is open to make any changes and will help you figure out what works best for you. I could not recommend her more! I wish we had all of our wedding photos back to give more examples of the beautiful decorating she does!

It was such a privilege working with Kaite and we could not recommend her enough!! Katie was AMAZING to work with and I can’t imagine my wedding experience without her. I hired Katie for partial planning which I am so beyond thankful for because she was the only person who kept me sane through this entire process. I knew I was in great hands after our very first meeting. I was very indecisive on a lot of decisions I had to make, and she was my hype woman through it all and reassured me through every step of the process. She was very meticulous, organized, and knowledgeable. She had no issues with me reaching out and asking questions leading up to her takeover on the 3 month out mark and once she stepped in, it was a huge sigh of relief for me. She was always very quick and prompt to respond to any questions I had. I truly looked forward to speaking with her in our meetings to update her on how everything was progressing/next steps. Our wedding day was seamless, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment with all our friends and families. I am so grateful for all of Katie and her team’s hard work- their dedication and expertise allowed us to enjoy our special day. My wedding was everything that I envisioned and more, thanks to her.

We had most our vendors picked out but Alex and Ariel helped with additional vendor bookings. We had 4 team members the day of covering the wedding since there were areas we requested additional assistance with. Everyone was so nice and easy going to communicate with.

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.

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 hired Jacinda for month/day of coordination and it was honestly the BEST decision we made while wedding planning! We got to work with Jacinda and LeAnna and they were absolutely amazing! They were so organized and easy to work with, we had full faith in them to help us execute the perfect day. Added plus, they are so fun to hang out with! LeAnna was on top of everything the day of, if something went wrong we have no idea. I was a DIY bride and LeAnna made my vision come to life! We also decided to sneak into the bridal suite for a private dinner (absolutely recommend doing that!) and LeAnna made sure the room was set so nicely for us, with little tea lights and everything. If you are looking for wedding planners, look no further! We love Jacinda and LeAnna!!!!

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.
