Awarded Best of Zola
I got married on 05/23/25 and hiring Brittney as our wedding planner was hands down THE BEST DECISION we made during the entire wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, Brittney brought an incredible mix of professionalism, creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Brittney truly listened to my partial vision that I had and somehow turned it into something even more magical than I imagined. Every detail — from the timeline, the vendor coordination, to the little surprise touches — was flawlessly executed. It felt like she was always five steps ahead, handling everything behind the scenes so we could relax and enjoy every moment. && Let me not mention the communication was phenomenal. Sis was always very responsive, I never had an issue here. On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about anything. I did not have an official decorator for my wedding, only a florist and SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH DECORATING MY RECEPTION AREA. She also used walkie talkies on the day of to communicate with the wedding party and it worked out REALLY REALLY REALLY WELL. She gave us "get ready" reminders which was helpful and made the day move smoothly. Our timeline was seamless and she had EVERYTHING you needed for your BIG DAY in case you forgot anything. She also has her own inventory that you can rent items from which are A LOT cheaper than buying them. Depending on your package, you can use some items for free. OH and did I mention that her prices are EXTREMELY REASONABLE for the value and service that you will receive. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly organized, a great communicator, talented but also genuinely kind, warm, and invested in making your day unforgettable, Brittney IS THAT GIRL!!! My husband and I are forever grateful for Brittney and we highly, highly recommend her!

Theresa was in charge of making things go smoothly and took care of any problem that happened . She kept anything upsetting from the bride. She also kept things moving in an orderly manner. We never wondered what we were suppose to do . She kept us on task and took care of everything as it came. We weren’t aware of her getting the grounds mowed and when time came and it wasn’t. She took care of it. She seemed like family by be the end of the two days. She was such a nice person and so good at what she does. She was supportive, and paid attention to every detail. She used her china and glassware at the reception and it was gorgeous . She took a plain room and made it look beautiful. My favorite thing she did was make sure the pictures went smoothly and quickly. There was no wasted time at all. There wasn’t one thing that would keep me from hiring her again. The wedding was perfect. She was great. She was smart and on top of things. I would give her the highest of ratings.

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!

Hiring Chelsea as our wedding planner was, without question, the best decision we made. She handled both full-service planning and design, and her talent blew us away. Her eye for design is truly unmatched — every detail was so thoughtfully executed and stunning. She brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way while still offering expert guidance and honest feedback when we needed it. What made the entire experience so special was how stress-free it felt. From the very beginning, we trusted Chelsea completely, and because of that, we were able to actually enjoy the process. Everything felt fun and easy because we knew she had it all handled — timelines, vendors, logistics, you name it. We never had to worry, and that peace of mind was absolutely priceless. We opted for full planning because we wanted her support on everything, from vendor communication to invitations and save-the-dates — and we’re so glad we did. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how calm, proactive, and easygoing she was. She was always one step ahead, and her presence on the day of the wedding brought so much calm and confidence. She has truly been my rock over the past year and a half. By the end, she felt more like a friend than just a planner. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Chelsea again and again. We truly love her and owe our amazing day to her passion, creativity, and heart.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first meeting, she brought such professionalism, creativity, and genuine kindness that immediately put us at ease. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Parris made the entire experience organized, joyful, and truly fun. She understood our vision perfectly and somehow made every single detail come to life even better than we imagined. Her attention to detail is unmatched from the timeline to the tiny touches that made everything feel personal and intentional. When the big day arrived, Parris and her team were absolute rockstars. They handled every little thing seamlessly behind the scenes so that we could be completely present and actually enjoy the day. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives, and I know that’s in huge part thanks to Parris and the Eventfully Chic team.

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 Richelle and Nicole, the duo behind Love, Evermore Events. Based in the Carolinas, we create weddings that look like editorial dreams and run with absolute precision. We believe every couple deserves a professional advocate who values the marriage as much as the party, which is why we never enforce minimum budgets. Our mission is to make sure you show up as the guest of honor, fully present in every moment while we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

We recently worked with Love Evermore Events to plan my mom’s birthday party, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start with making a beautiful invitation to the finish with beautiful flower arrangements for the table, they were thoughtful, creative, and incredibly organized. Every detail was beautifully executed, and all the special touches they added truly made the event one to remember. Most importantly, they took so much of the stress off my shoulders, I was able to enjoy the celebration without worrying about a thing. My mom was thrilled, and our guests were so impressed. Thank you to the entire Love Evermore Event's team especially Nicole for making it such a special and seamless experience. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future events!
