We cannot say enough good things about Emily! She is AMAZING at her job - we hired Emily as our month-of coordinator and honestly can’t imagine what our day would’ve looked like without her. From our first call, she made us feel cared for, heard, and celebrated. She helped us secure vendors, communicated effectively, and handled everything with grace. She had solutions for things we hadn’t even thought of. On our wedding day, it was such a relief to walk into our reception area and it be completely set up exactly how we pictured it in our heads - but even better. She is THE best. If you get the chance to work with her, you will not regret it.

The KnightCo. Events team was absolutely incredible from the beginning to the end. My venue required us to have a coordinator, but I was really skeptical about whether I needed one. Now that I've gone through the entire process, I can confidently say yes, you do need one, and yes, it should be KnightCo. Events! Chynna was always available to answer my questions in the months leading up to my destination wedding. She was actively engaged in every meeting with our venue, even the early morning ones with a 3 hour time difference. Once the package officially kicked in 6 weeks out, KCE took over all of the communication with vendors, which allowed me to take a break from the planning. It was hard for me to give up control, but it was ultimately worth it, especially as we got closer to the wedding day. When one of our vendors was 2 hours late on the day of the wedding, Chynna stepped in and was able to clear everything up within minutes of me notifying her. Chynna felt like another one of my best friends on the wedding day—there to offer me lipstick, a makeup pad, stain remover... she had literally anything I could need and offered it before I even knew that I needed it! Everything stayed on schedule and she checked in with us often but discreetly to make sure we had everything we needed. And the next day as we were already buzzing with excitement, she surprised us with a behind the scenes gallery of photos and videos that allowed us to relive our perfect day. I can't say enough great things about this team. Absolutely no regrets about booking with KnightCo. Events!

I have received over 1,000 images/videos in content, and still have even more coming! What’s crazy is half the time, we didn’t notice Katelyn there, but she still somehow captured every moment! 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. We got our raw footage back within 48 hours, and most of it after less than 24 hours. We are so grateful for Katelyn capturing all of our special moments!

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. 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.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

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.

Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris! From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor. Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why. She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE! Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds. My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life. My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend. If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her!

Since January 2023, I’ve run my business full time—and I don’t call it work, because I genuinely love what I get to do almost every weekend.

From the very first meeting with Paula, my husband and I felt at ease knowing our wedding day was in capable hands. Paula's communication was outstanding - she was always responsive to our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, Paula took care of every last detail, from the beautiful decor to full coordination of the event. The floral arrangements she sourced were even more stunning than we had imagined. Paula supported us from beginning to end, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. We are so grateful to Paula and her team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I cannot recommend Jena and Hive & Co Weddings and Events enough! She honestly changed my life for the better!! Jena and her team are a one stop shop. Planning, vision, curation, support, and all with the most authentic kindness you could imagine. She is creative and leans into whatever theme or vision you have and will make it grand. I feel so lucky to have worked with Jena, and you will not regret the decision. Prior to hiring her, I had so much stress surrounding making our wedding perfect. I wanted a beautiful southern outdoor style at a challenging location due to the venue’s limited resources but amazing views, and the moment I started working with Jena, I knew it was going to be better than I could have dreamed of on my own. She knows all of the vendors in the area and beyond. She will not lead you astray! Also, she could charge so much more for her work, but she keeps things affordable. It is the best decision I could have ever made in our wedding journey! I can’t speak more highly of a person or company!! My only regret is not getting a photo with her on wedding 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.
