“Caroline Calleja with Protea Event Planners was truly the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We worked with Caroline for about nine months leading up to our December 20, 2025 wedding in Frederick, MD. She made the entire process SO much easier and more enjoyable. Our ceremony at St. John’s and reception at Citizens Ballroom were absolutely beautiful and Caroline brought our vision to life in every way. She is so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, calm, organized, friendly, flexible, and professional, which made planning feel as stress-free as possible despite my husband and I’s demanding and busy work schedules. She helped us find fantastic vendors, kept everything running smoothly with a perfectly coordinated day-of timeline, and handled every detail behind the scenes. Caroline is also extremely creative and talented. She even personally made unique décor pieces for our theme and designed the signage we used throughout the reception as well as our invitations and save-the-dates. Our wedding was an intimate celebration with about 65 guests, and it was elegant, seamless, timeless and more perfect than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for everything she did and truly couldn’t have done it without her. We highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding planner.”
