I don’t even know where to begin because there truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chynna. From start to finish, she was an absolute lifesaver. Throughout the planning process, Chynna was our anchor; helping us make decisions, keeping us calm when the stress crept in, and always being one step ahead of us with suggestions, timelines, and support. She made everything feel manageable and reminded us what it was all about. One of the most helpful parts of working with Chynna was how she took over all vendor communications the month before. We were able to truly breathe and enjoy the countdown knowing she had it all handled. Every little detail was managed with care and professionalism, and her communication was clear, timely, and kind. But what truly sets Chynna apart is how she showed up on our wedding day. Her calm, steady presence grounded us during a day that had its fair share of unexpected challenges. Things came up… things no one could’ve predicted and Chynna handled it all with so much grace, empathy, and confidence. She not only made sure things got done, but she was also a comforting friend through it all. She held space for us emotionally while simultaneously keeping the day running smoothly behind the scenes. Her attention to detail, her ability to adapt and problem-solve, and the way she genuinely cares about her couples is something really rare. She has a gift, not just for planning, but for people. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and we’ll never stop being thankful that she was part of it. If you’re considering working with Chynna, don’t hesitate. She’s everything you need in a coordinator and more.

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 Marcus, owner of Venue Decor and More, transformed our daughter's dream of a fairytale wedding into a breathtaking reality. We began planning the “Big Day” about 16 months out. From the start, Theresa's ideas only enhanced our own, and her ongoing communication with us was timely, organized and professional. She really listened to our vision for the wedding and reception, and brought the outdoor celebration at Waterstone to life in a stunning way. Theresa transformed the waterside venue, using its a 70-foot waterfall as the backdrop, into the storybook wedding we all imagined. She perfectly captured the woodsy, fairytale vibe -- from the ceremony aisle lined with lanterns, ferns and rose petals, to the rustic arbor covered with whimsical purple-and-sage spring flowers strewn across a sweeping swag, with a meandering meadow at the water’s edge…to the reception featuring vintage dishware and glassware in romantic shades of purple and green on moss-covered tables topped with an assortment of candelabra and fairy lights. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the space, and we couldn't have been happier with Theresa’s work. We highly recommend her to any couple looking to create a truly magical wedding experience.

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.

Sabrina at Lucky Day Events was the wedding planner of my dreams. From the very start, she stood out of all of the wedding planners by making her approach so personable. Once my husband and I hired Lucky Day Events, Sabrina made our experience customized based on our needs, leading us to feel such an ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. When people ask me how we seemed so calm during wedding planning, we attribute so much of that to Lucky Day. We didn't worry, always had peace of mind, and felt very heard and seen by her planning. The vision we wanted with our sentimentality, overall energy we wanted to create throughout the entire wedding, to every detail with the aesthetic for flower, videographer, photographer vendors, and more, Sabrina understood and delivered. Day of our wedding both my husband and I felt such ease due to Sabrina’s expertise handling all of the details and overseeing everything, and we were so deeply happy with how everything felt and looked! We truly thank you from the depths of our heart, Sabrina! It was more than planning, you brought an experience for us that we will always cherish looking back on wedding planning and our special 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.

Candace with Overjoyed Weddings and Events was absolutely amazing! From the moment we hired her, she jumped right in to organize our scattered thoughts and plans. Our venue had separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and Candace kept everything running perfectly—making each transition smooth and on time. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day. She truly was a key part of what made our day perfect!
