We used Katie for our day of wedding coordination and for our seating chart. Katie was great to work with in the card design process, and took and feedback and ideas I had and came up with a design we loved! She asked what things were important to us and curated a wedding day timeline that made sure the day included all of the elements that were most important to us.

We are so excited to meet you! We're Raleigh Weddings, a wedding planning and coordination team based right in the heart of North Carolina (but celebrating love everywhere)! Since 2022, we have provided wedding planning and coordination services for all types of different days, couples, and love stories. We approach every element of your wedding day thinking about the intention and story behind it - if it's not reflective of you or your love, then why the heck do it? More than just another vendor, we are your friends, your advocates, your shoulders to lean on. We can't wait to make your "best day ever" exactly that (and more).

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring a wedding planner is one of the first decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We needed a planner that knows how to stand on business and deal with logistics for a ginormous crowd (300), but also be someone that can vibe with us because they'll be dealing with all our shenanigans during the planning process on the day of the wedding. We went through a handful of wedding planner consultations before we met with Carina and after meeting her - it was definitely wedding-planner-love at first sight! And it was the best decision we made! During the year long planning process, Carina was able to lay out the whole process so we never felt rushed. She also designed our whole wedding beautifully, because neither I nor my now husband have a single artistic bone in our body. Aside from her impeccable planning skills, she is just a delightful person to be around who sincerely just loves what she does and bringing her couples vision to life (while staying reasonably under budget). She took what is usually a stressful process and made it as fun as you can make wedding planning. My now husband and I didn't think there was any way we could have our 300 Vietnamese wedding without any major bumps (just due to the sheer number of people), but thanks to Carina and her wedding magic, we had the most beautiful perfect day! We couldn't have had our perfect day without her!

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!

We strive to provide pure bliss to each of our clients most memorable events.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 had the BEST time planning our wedding day with Magnolia Collective (MC). We unfortunately had some wedding venue "drama" along the way, and MC was so professional and helped address any concerns we had. I knew our wedding day was going to run like a well oiled machine, and I truly can't believe how perfect the day was. We did the partial planning package and it was definitely worth having that extra bit of planning support and onsite vendor visits. Highly recommend! :)

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.

We found Southern Skies through a friend’s recommendation and we couldn’t have been happier. We worked with Jen and her assistant Laura. They designed a beautiful wedding full of personal details that we never would have thought of - like having a gelato cart for dessert as a nod to Rome, where we met. Jen was very communicative throughout the entire planning process with e-mail updates, answering our questions, and having virtual and in-person meetings. We were planning remotely and could not have pulled this off without Jen and her team. They helped connect us with our fantastic team of vendors, many of whom we probably would not have found without their help. Jen’s thorough planning and hard work made the actual wedding day stress-free and absolutely perfect. We would highly recommend using Southern Skies!

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 found Carolina Event Masters through Facebook-it's always a little bit of a gamble finding people to work with without a reference from someone you know but everything about Makenzie’s website and how responsive she was made me feel confident in moving forward with her! Makenzie was very responsive from the get-go, and I enjoyed the "get-to-know-you" call. I feel like it allowed me to tell her what my vision was and if we could be on the same page / work together toward that vision! Everything about working with Makenzie was the best! But I would have to say her organization and keeping in touch with me regularly really stood out to me. It was super helpful especially for thinking of things I wouldn't have thought of and making sure all the bases were covered! I never once felt like I couldn't ask her a question, I never felt abandoned, and I felt like she was truly invested in what my husband and I wanted and made our wants a reality. I couldn't be happier and am so thankful to have worked with her! I would DEFINITELY recommend Carolina Event Masters to anyone and everyone looking for a kind, organized, and overall amazing wedding coordinator! Makenzie took everything we were looking for in our wedding day and made it happen! I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with her. If you hire Makenzie you will feel secure about planning your wedding day to accomplish what you are looking for to make the day special!
