    As someone who works in the wedding industry, I have high expectations when it comes to planning events, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to Caroline for making my wedding day an absolute dream come true! From our very first meeting, she was a ray of sunshine, bringing enthusiasm and creativity to the planning process. We decided to have our wedding in a charming boutique hotel in New York City, and Caroline's expertise transformed the venue into a magical setting. Caroline took the time to get to know my partner and me, understanding our vision for the day. We wanted a romantic and elegant affair with a touch of whimsy, and she made that vision a reality. The ceremony took place in the hotel's stunning garden terrace, surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers. Caroline coordinated every detail! Her experience in the food and beverage industry showed when she created our detailed timeline and added items that we would have never thought of. Throughout the night, Caroline was a calming presence, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. From the first dance to the heartfelt speeches, she was there, making sure every detail was executed flawlessly. Her ability to anticipate our needs and those of our guests made the day feel effortless (making sure I always had a glass of champagne in my hand) As someone deeply entrenched in the wedding industry, I can confidently say that if you're looking for a wedding planner who is dedicated, creative, and truly passionate about making your special day perfect, look no further than Caroline. I wholeheartedly recommend her services—she is simply the best! Thank you, Caroline, for making our wedding day a cherished memory that we will treasure forever!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Caroline and her company, Protea Event Planners! From start to finish, she made planning my dream beach wedding an absolute breeze. Caroline has an incredible eye for detail and a true talent for understanding and bringing to life her clients' visions. From our very first meeting, she listened carefully to everything I envisioned for my wedding day, offering creative ideas and practical solutions that elevated every aspect of the event. On the big day, everything was flawless. The beach was transformed into a stunning, romantic paradise with elegant touches that reflected my personality and preferences perfectly. From the gorgeous floral arrangements to the seamless coordination of the ceremony and reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated and executed. What really set Caroline apart was her ability to make the process enjoyable and stress-free. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with her expertise and calm, reassuring demeanor, I always felt confident that everything was under control. She worked tirelessly to ensure that not only my husband and I, but also our guests, had an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your special day and will go above and beyond to make it perfect, look no further than Caroline and Protea Event Planners. I am so grateful to her for making my dream wedding a reality and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone! Thank you, Caroline, for giving us memories to cherish forever.
