Day of Coordinator
Working with Carice at Pinnacle Affairs was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. As our day-of coordinator, she brought a calm, reassuring presence that made the entire day feel smooth and stress-free. From managing vendors to keeping us on schedule and handling any behind-the-scenes issues, she was always one step ahead—allowing us to truly be present and enjoy every moment. Our guests and family kept commenting on how flawlessly everything flowed, and that’s a direct reflection of Carice’s professionalism, attention to detail, and care. She treated our day like it was her own, and by the end of it all, she felt like part of the family. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side—our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her!
Incredible Experience!
I wish I could get married again just to spend more time with Carice and Pinnacle Affairs! As a wedding planner myself, I definitely am pickier than most when it comes to my vendors, but Carice exceeded my wildest dream. She went above and beyond her role as officiant and stepped in silently and seamlessly to fill any gap she saw throughout the day. She coordinated my rehearsal, sewed my dad's bow tie minutes before the ceremony, delivered a stunning ceremony and vow exchange, and effortlessly conducted the chaos around us, all the time with a beaming smile on her face. I will always be indebted to Carice for making my wedding the absolute dream that it was!
Grateful Doesn't Cover it!
Listen, if you're on the fence, don't be. Call Pinnacle Affairs. We were going to plan everything ourselves and now it's the biggest running joke we almost didn't hire Carice and her A team. From the moment we first met Carice from Pinnacle Affairs, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style is calm, efficient, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly outstanding - she was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly creative in helping us curate the perfect wedding weekend to kickstart this next chapter of our lives. Carice brought a wonderful sense of calm and humor to every interaction, making us feel instantly comfortable. There was no scenario she hadn't seen before or wasn't able to find a perfect and creative solution for, whether it was solving transportation snafus or tweaking our timeline. We are so grateful to Carice and the entire Pinnacle Affairs team for helping make our wedding day truly special and unforgettable. I cannot imagine planning any other event without her, I mean who else is going to keep my makeup intact?!
A Wedding Dream Come True – Thanks to Carice!
Where do I even begin?! Hiring Carice as our day-of coordinator was hands-down one of the BEST decisions we made for our big day. From the moment she started, it felt like a fairy godmother had waved her magic wand—everything just flowed. Carice was calm, collected, and so incredibly kind throughout the entire process. She was somehow everywhere at once—guiding vendors, cueing music, fluffing my dress, and making sure we actually ate (bless her!). Every tiny detail was handled so smoothly that all we had to do was soak up the love and dance our hearts out. Her organization skills? Next level. Her team? Absolute rockstars. They were warm, professional, and blended right in like part of the family. I honestly forgot what stress felt like! If you’re on the fence about a day-of coordinator, run, don’t walk, and book Carice. She didn’t just meet expectations—she soared way past them. Because of her, our wedding day was joyful, seamless, and totally unforgettable. 10/10 would recommend.
