Amazing!
We had such a wonderful experience working with Protea for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was friendly, clear, and so easy to work with. We connected with Caroline, who could not be present on our wedding day due to other commitments but we worked with her team: Derrick and Megan. We met with Caroline to tour the venue and go over details, and that meeting gave us so much confidence that everything would be handled with care. On the day of the wedding, Derrick and Megan were absolutely amazing. They coordinated every detail seamlessly so my husband and I could truly be present and enjoy our day without stress. Their communication with our vendors was excellent, which made the entire process smooth—especially since we only hired them for partial planning. Thanks to their organization and professionalism, we were able to step back, relax, and trust that everything was taken care of. We are so grateful to the Protea team for helping make our wedding day feel effortless and unforgettable! Highly recommend!
A Joy to Work With
Caroline came on as our 8-week planner and was such a joy to work with. She was organized, thorough, and cheerful, making the final stretch of planning feel effortless. On the day of, she and her team brought my vision to life perfectly—I didn’t have to lift a finger. Her warmth and professionalism made our day even more special.
Like Planning An Event With Your Best Friend
Working with Caroline was like planning an event with an old friend, even though this was our very first time working together. I cannot overstate how essential she was to the success my event. We simply could not have pulled it off without her and I am so grateful! Caroline was incredibly responsive, organized, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. From offering creative ideas to troubleshooting details I hadn’t even thought of, she consistently went above and beyond. Her communication was clear, honest, and so supportive, which made the entire planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. On the day of the event, she was an absolute lifesaver. She made sure everything ran smoothly and handled every challenge with calm confidence and a fun sense of humor. If you’re planning an event and want someone who is experienced, dependable, proactive, and genuinely delightful to work with, look no further. She is exceptional!
Partial Planning Support
We brought on Protea Event Planners about a month out from our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Caroline served as the central point of contact with all vendors, managing communication seamlessly and making sure every detail was coordinated. The support during those final weeks was invaluable and took so much pressure off us. On the wedding weekend, the team's hands-on support made everything run flawlessly and they handled the happy chaos with incredible grace. A special shoutout to Crystal and Meghan for being calming and organized fixtures of the weekend. Caroline is organized, communicative, and made the whole process feel manageable and even fun. Thank you for your heartfelt support and thoughtful touches throughout the entire journey!
