Everlasting Moments 
Rating: 4.5 (8 reviews)
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Durham, 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.

“We met Jackie and Madison at the NC Bridal and Wedding Expo in Raleigh in 2023. My daughter's wedding day was November of this year, 2024. From the very moment we met them, it was 100% authenticity, practicality, a smart approach, kindness, and just enough edge required to pull off an event of such importance. As we selected them and continued our journey together, the level of communication, organization, attention to detail, and their ability to advocate with professionalism were ever-present as their creative ideas just flowed with each circumstance we encountered. Jackie and Madison were made for planning with families/individuals in preparing and experiencing the activities associated with one of the most important decisions ever made in life...marriage. Jackie was resourceful, stayed connected, guided along the way, and on the days of the rehearsal and of the wedding, both she and Madison worked tirelessly to create beautiful, "everlasting moments" for my daughter and her new husband to remember. They filtered the obstacles, and stood in the gap to ensure the wishes and dreams of the bride and groom for that day were met. That was the most important. There is so much more we could say to endorse Everlasting Moments, but you can clearly read that hiring Jackie and Madison to plan and see through to the success of your wedding or any event is an investment worth making, as they invest in you! They are now family!”

“Ariana is the only reason our wedding even happened. We had a low budget and had to do a lot of things ourselves like the desserts, catering etc. and she saved the day with last minute details (who is setting up the dessert table??) Everyone was late, so many people didn’t know where to go and what to do and she handled everything seamlessly and graciously. I was not stressed whatsoever and even my family didn’t bother me as the bride with anything because they knew she was on top of it. Could not recommend her ENOUGH. 10000% worth it and if my best friend wasn’t getting married out of the country I’d make her also book Ariana.”

Hi, I'm Belle, owner of The Wedding Belle! I truly believe your wedding day should be filled with the moments that matter most. My heart is in serving couples with genuine care, thoughtful planning, and a calm presence so you can be fully present with the people you love.

“Working with Belle from The Wedding Belle made planning our wedding feel completely manageable. She took charge of vendor communication starting 30 days before our big day, confirming details and creating a clear itinerary so we knew exactly what to expect. Belle helped us pick out decor and made sure everything was set up perfectly on the morning of our wedding. When questions came up, she answered right away, and when we hit a bump in the road with transportation delays, she handled it smoothly without us having to stress. She even followed up with our caterer after the wedding to make sure we felt taken care of. Belle genuinely cared about making our day special, and we're so grateful for everything she did for us.”

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! We love Lauren and are very thankful for our experience with Southern Skies - K&V”

“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.

They stayed on top of everything without us having to ask, which gave us so much peace of mind leading up to the big day.

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.”

“We are so grateful we chose Myesha as our Month-Of Coordinator! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy and flexible to work with. As someone who planned most of the wedding myself, I brought Myesha in for the final month to make sure I had everything in place and she truly delivered. She carefully double-checked my timeline, made sure all the details were covered, and helped ensure nothing was overlooked. She even went onsite ahead of time to meet with my venue coordinator. Although they had never worked together before, they immediately got along and collaborated seamlessly on the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Myesha kept everything running smoothly. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be and that we stayed on schedule without making anything feel rushed. Her calm, professional demeanor and positive spirit made such a difference, especially during moments that could have felt stressful. I would highly recommend Myesha to anyone looking for wedding day coordination. She is professional, organized, adaptable, and brings such good energy to your big day. I truly couldn’t have pulled it off without her!”

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.

“If you are looking for a wedding planner look no further than Tova! From the beginning she was a dream to work with! She is organized, responsive, and clearly cares about the work that she does. She makes you feel like the only couple she is working with. My wedding day went perfectly and she played a major role in that!”
