From Coast to Toast LLC

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

My passion for making dreams come true started in 2017 when I entered the floral industry fresh out of college. During my seven year career as a floral designer, I was given an opportunity to try out event coordination at a company in Greensboro. After being thrust into the event world, I very quickly realized that my personable disposition, intuitive nature, and ability to make important decisions in a timely and professional manner gave me an excellent skill set for the wedding planning industry. Now with years of experience under my belt, I'm excited to own and operate my own wedding business in the Outer Banks!

Jennifer was the Day-Of-Coordinator for our wedding day! But even before our wedding day, she was incredible to work with from the start (booking) to finish (wedding day)! You can tell by the quality of her work and by the way she goes about her business that she both 1) truly cares about her clients and 2) truly loves what she does! Throughout the planning process Jennifer was flexible and attentive, working with us to a create a vision board to ensure our vision of the day and florals would come to life! Throughout the planning process, Jennifer was very responsive to emails and video calls, never letting 24 hours go by without hearing back which put us at ease! She truly listened to our vision for the day, and she absolutely delivered and helped to make our dream day come to life. The florals Jennifer put together (bouquets, cross arrangement, table arrangements, and a stunning hanging display to name a few!) were absolutely breath-taking and beautiful, better than anything I could have imagined! Not only that, Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely kind, caring, and authentic as she helped to coordinate the wedding. She communicated seamlessly with vendors and put out all the fires that came her way, and there were a few!! But she did so in a way that reflected professionally on her business and us as her clients. If it was not for Jennifer, I truly believe we would have had so many disasters on our wedding day, but she truly was the glue holding everything together and keeping everything running smoothly!! The most sweet part was that I was truly unaware of most of the mishaps until after-the-fact because Jennifer handled everything so well, and always came up to me with a smile, a thumbs up, and left with a wink! She put out all the fires that came her way and did it with such grace, kindness, and professionalism! I would 1000% recommend From Coast to Toast Wedding Coordination and Jennifer’s services to anyone having a wedding in the Kitty Hawk/Nags Head/Coastal area. You will not be disappointed. Our wedding probably would have been a disaster if it wasn't for Jennifer! And not only that, sh created BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements, installations, bouquets, and boutonnières for us that made everything look so beautiful. We can't Jennifer enough for all that she did for us! #1 Vendor! Thank you, Jennifer, from the bottom of our hearts! If I could, I would give From Coast to Toast a 20/10 review!!

  • Serves Southern Shores, NC

With deep local expertise, trusted vendor relationships, and a genuine love for bringing one-of-a-kind wedding visions to life, my goal is to make your planning experience feel seamless and stress-free. Wedding planning becomes fun, personal & thoughtfully guided, so you feel seen, heard, and taken care of every step of the way.

I will start by saying this: working with Sasha was my favorite part of planning our wedding! Seriously, we could not have done it without her. We live outside Washington, DC and having local expertise and recommendations in OBX was the main reason we chose to work with a wedding planner. Sasha was an easy choice for us from the start because of her energy and passion you can see on her website and Instagram, and she provided that wedding planning expertise and SO much more! She made wedding planning FUN - and I never thought I’d be that bride. I am so thankful for all the time, energy, thought, and so much care that Sasha poured into us throughout our wedding planning process. She was an incredibly valuable source of knowledge and experience when it came to logistics and vendors, someone to vent with and bounce ideas off of, and also a friend! We shared many laughs and jokes throughout our 12 months of working together which was so fun. In addition to the logistics and vendors, I also relied on Sasha for a lot of the aesthetic and decorative elements, and she totally delivered! Her attention to detail, eye for style, and artistic touch was absolutely stunning and brought all the little details together into the most perfect and beautiful wedding day. When our wedding day finally arrived, I was SO excited to see her! I literally did not stress once on my wedding day and I 100% have Sasha to thank for that. She took care of EVERY little detail with a smile, and also calmed my nerves anytime I needed it. Sasha quite literally brought our dream wedding to life and I enjoyed every second of working with her! If you are getting married in the Outer Banks, I highly recommend that you reach out to Sasha. I promise you, she will take such great care of you and your wedding day!

Wedding planning felt overwhelming at first, and we truly didn’t know where to begin. When we discovered the idea of hiring a day-of coordinator, Kristen stood out immediately and she turned out to be everything we didn’t even know we needed. From our very first phone call, she instantly put us at ease, took the time to really get to know us, and even shared recommendations for vendors we were still looking for.Kristen is not only warm and funny, but also incredibly detail-oriented. She guided us through the entire planning process with so much care and clarity, answering every question (and there were many!) with patience, whether by phone or email.On our wedding weekend, she brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way. Even when our rehearsal was hit with a full-on monsoon, she didn’t miss a beat. Every behind-the-scenes hiccup was handled so smoothly that we didn’t even know they were happening leaving us free to truly enjoy our day.Kristen’s calm presence, organization, and genuine kindness were exactly what we needed on such an emotional day. We can honestly say our wedding would not have gone as smoothly without her, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make it feel like a dream.

Katie and her team were amazing to work with! We had rented out a large vacation house as our venue, so we had to bring in everything ourselves as far as setting up tables/chairs, linens, decor, etc. Not only did Katie deliver on this and make sure everything I imagined in my head came to life, but her calming presence always made me feel like no matter what, everything was going to be ok and get done.

Our services are designed to cater to every aspect of your wedding, from the initial planning stages to the final execution.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I began my events journey in 2013 as a Venue Manager and Sales Rep at The Brawley Estate, where I fell in love with the magic of celebrations. After years of experience, I launched my own business focused on creating unforgettable events with a personal touch. By 2018, my rental inventory included hundreds of curated pieces. In 2020, I expanded my skills as Banquet Manager at The 658 Center. 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.

Our perfected planning process means your wedding day requires just one thing from you: showing up. Why 3 months? This is when experienced planning prevents last-minute chaos, and you can hand off the stress right when timelines, vendors, and logistics matter most.

Where do I even begin?? Savannah made my day absolutely beautiful, seamless, stress free and organized! The very idea of planning a wedding in 7 months was enough to overwhelm me and she kept me on track with what needed to be done and when. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! Our Hilton Head wedding was truly the best day ever and that is in big part because of her. My mother in law loved her so much she asked me if Savannah would be willing to travel to Texas for my sister in laws wedding when that happens. If you’re unsure of who to choose, Olivia Lauren is it.

I used Brittany at Heirloom Design and Company and it was by far the best choice I made in the realm of vendors. Brittany is so quick to respond, thorough, and includes her client in every step of the planning process. Brittany is open to incorporating changes that need to be made, and takes all the stress off the bride. As things get down to the wire for the wedding, knowing that your invitation suites are taken care of it phenomenal. Not to mention her packages include addressing, postage, and sending the the suites to guests- this is a huge time saver when it gets down to crunch time! I cannot recommend Brittany and her amazing company enough! -Stacie Fort Mitchell, KY

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!
