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!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail.

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.

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!

Hello! I've been in the wedding industry for 10 years and the hospitality industry for more than 30 years. Serving others is my passion. I believe every bride deserves a planner and so I try to keep my prices low and my energy high!

When starting the wedding planning process, we reached out to many other wedding planners in the area, all of which made us feel like we were talking to a salesperson thats trying way too hard to connect with us just to secure the sale- conversations felt forced and scripted, A lot of beating around the bush with leading questions & compliments, and aesthetic but generic canva lists containing just about every wedding planning service you can think of to try to lure us in before they hit us with the absurd price. Marnie was the complete opposite. She is super down to earth, witty and easy to talk to. We knew within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call with Marnie, that we wanted to work with her. She got right to the point with figuring out where we were in the planning process, our budget, our vision/ideas, and laid out the general process and her price which was considerably more affordable than many planners in the area. She went way above and beyond for us every step of the way while always making sure that we were happy with everything and that we were staying within budget- from securing venues, vendors, food, entertainment, decor, etc for the ceremony, reception, welcome party, after party and all the activities we planned for guests the days leading up to the wedding, setup/takedown, day of coordination, meetings with venues/vendors, and a million other things in between (quite literally ANYTHING we could have possibly needed) During all of our events leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day we didnt have to lift a finger. Marnie handled absolutely everything flawlessly and it felt like she could literally sense whenever we (or any of our wedding party/guests) needed anything at all because before we could even stand up or say anything, she was somehow already on her way over with whatever it was we needed whether it be a refill on a drink, fixing the flyaways in my hair for pictures, corralling a guest(s) to a different areas, hunting down my bag and accessories from the glam room and bringing them to me so i could change during the reception, making sure we got all the pictures we needed, bringing us back down to earth if we started getting overwhelmed, checking us into our honeymoon suite and moving our bags so we didnt have to deal with it after the reception etc. Even my sister said at one point she was standing around feeling kind of anxious before the ceremony and didnt know what to do with herself and Marnie could just sense that and went up to my sister and asked her if she wanted a job to do to keep herself occupied until the ceremony which my sister was pumped about lol. Also we were coming from out of state so we really appreciated the extra time she put in in regards to handling everything we couldn’t physically be there for- driving to different venues and facetiming us, meeting with all the venue/caterer/vendors for us, letting us ship an insane amount of stuff to her house and hanging onto it for weeks before the wedding and then making multiple trips back and forth to get everything to us when we got there and then also getting everything to the venue on time for setup, printing and picking up stationery, supplying us with tons of decorations and even making decorations for us at no extra cost, offering to get us to/from the airport, etc. the list is truly too long to include everything. You get the gist. Essentially…you name it and shes got you. 1000000000% recommend.
