“Hiring this team was hands-down the BEST decision we made for our wedding weekend!”
We went with their Weekender package, and they flawlessly planned our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks event, and wedding day. From start to finish, they eased any anxiety we had about the planning process. Let me tell you - if you're a checklist lover, you are going to FLIP over their spreadsheet/checklist/pie chart. Seriously amazing.
About six weeks before the wedding, we had a change in vendors, and the team didn’t miss a beat. They quickly found new options, scheduled meetings, and handled everything with such grace and efficiency. I truly can't imagine what we would’ve done without them! They made the whole weekend feel seamless - we didn’t have to worry about a single detail because they handled everything we needed (and even the things we never would’ve thought of!). If you're looking for a team that’s organized, supportive, and just a joy to work with - this is the one.
Meghan Engle
Yes! We are a true, registered business that absolutely has insurance coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance to your venue if requested.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are a diverse group of 12! Our lead planners work with full service, partial service, and event management clients while our lead coordinators will work with our event management couples exclusively. On wedding and event day, we will always have at least 2 members of our team onsite. We assign couples based on personality, availability, and venue location.
Who will be my wedding planner?
Yes but also no! Our version of day of coordination is our event management package. This will include everything that your venue requires plus more! We have learned over the years that the term "day of coordination" isn't truly accurate in what we do for our couples. In the event management package, we come into your process 3 months out from your wedding day to begin absorbing all of your wedding day plans!
My venue requires us to hire a day of coordinator. Do you offer that service?
We are based in Cary, North Carolina and plan weddings and events throughout the Raleigh/Durham area. We have planned weddings across North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and Maryland. We also went international for a destination wedding in Scotland in 2024! Let us know where you want to go and we can make it happen!
What areas do you service and will you travel?
We plan weddings in many, many forms. We have experience with couples with various religions, cultures, and wedding aesthetics. We value inclusivity and believe that everyone should have their dream wedding day, regardless of who they love. Every wedding we plan will be unique to our couple and showcase their personalities.
What types of weddings do you plan?
FAQs
Do you plan other events besides weddings?
We do! We have planned other wedding related events, such as engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, showers, as well as corporate and social events.
