If you’re looking for a wedding planner, stop right here and hire Carolina! We decided later on in our wedding planning to look for a wedding planner and we were so incredibly lucky to have found Carolina. She jumped right into our plans, quick...
ly catching up to where we were in the process without ever missing beat. From the moment we hired her, she was with us every step of the way! Every walk through, every phone call with vendors, every email chain. You name it, Carolina was there to offer her help and guidance. She was incredibly responsive, which for any bride is extremely comforting! On our wedding day, Carolina and her team were again, nothing short of amazing. They were there from start to finish, making sure every detail was perfect. If things did not go as planned, Carolina and her team made sure myself and my husband never knew a thing about it. Carolina was by my side the entire wedding making sure I had everything I needed, was not feeling stressed, and was able to enjoy my day to the absolute fullest. Carolina is extremely talented, reliable, kind, and exactly the person you want in your corner when planning the most special day of your life! Do yourself a favor and hire Carolina and her team, you won’t regret it!!

Shannon and Dylan, working with you was truly a pleasure, from the very start I knew I would enjoy coordinating your day! From the meetings in person to the calls, texts and emails, your kindness was always present. After meeting both of your...
parents I could understand why❤️ Seeing you enjoy your wedding day so fully, from beginning to end, was the best reward to my efforts! Thank you for this kind and super encouraging words, so much love for you both❤️
I hired Carolina to be a wedding coordinator for my backyard wedding. I work full-time in a demanding job and live across the country from where we were having the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, I found that Carolina mainly recommended ven...
dors and assigned me tasks. Even though the tasks were listed on her contract for her to complete, I ended up doing a lot of them, and I should have been more assertive with her to get her to do some of them. The vendors she recommended were really awesome and well-priced, and the best part of her service! The week of the wedding she had a small but hardworking team, but, even so, my family ended up doing a lot of manual labor (putting out hundreds of chairs, tables, decor…). If I had known this, I would’ve hired more help. While she did visit our house a few times that week, her mind did not seem completely present because she had another wedding going on simultaneously on that Saturday. I didn’t find this out until the week of the wedding, which made me stressed. I think planners need to be transparent about if they have another event at the same time when you are hiring them. We had a lot of details, so I really needed a sharp helper that would stay up to date. The morning of the wedding I was so stressed and crying and ended up cutting orange peels myself with my bridesmaids for the cocktails and putting out center pieces in the rain myself. During the wedding, one of her assistants cursed at our guests while she was helping with parking and called them vulgar names, which was disturbing. Finally towards the end of the night, Carolina had an issue with my mother and ended up leaving the wedding early without letting me know. I would expect her to be professional and be used to complex family dynamics. It made me feel really sad. I think overall there was a lack of communication and connection, and my expectations were not correct. It may seem like there are a lot of 5-star reviews, but only a small fraction of weddings actually leave a review (true of most wedding vendors), so I am trying to help future brides see a real-world experience. Our wedding was still a dream for me with amazing vendors, hence I am still giving 3 stars.
Response from the Vendor on 12/04/2023
I have had 106 weddings since I joined The Knot at the end of 2019, I have received 87- 5 Star reviews - I would say that says a lot about what my couples think of my services. You can’t please them all, I appreciate you taking the time to re...
view my services. I will respond to some of your claims:
You are correct, you hired me as a wedding coordinator, not a wedding planner, which means, you take care of planning your wedding and all the details in it, you inform me of those details and I coordinate “the day” of the wedding with vendors and everyone involved, to make sure all goes according to your plans. You picked the 6 months out package. Our communications started in July, 2022, your wedding was September 23rd. 2023, so 14 months before your wedding.I recommended the photographer, caterer, tent, bathroom trailer, DJ, rental company for seating chart, etc. Every email was answered in a timely manner. Yes, we had conversations every so often when we would go over the Checklist and I would tell you what to work on next, because, again, you were your own wedding planner. There were 2 things I was supposed to help and did not, finding the hotel (you had already found it when we started working) and the rehearsal dinner (your mom was in charge of it and you would let me know if she needed help), every other item in my contract was fulfilled and then some.
You were having a backyard wedding! This must be said, because it makes a big difference between a regular wedding at a venue and a backyard wedding.
I was there on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, of course. I was there to meet every vendor that delivered prior to the wedding day. On Friday, I paid 2 helpers to come help me install smilax to the tent, job that I was not part of my duties, but I offered as a courtesy to you. I ordered it, paid for it (you refunded the cost) paid for the help to installed it out of my own pocket. I was there when the tables were delivered and I was the one who moved them around till they were in the right spot.
A company you hired, delivered rental chairs, they delivered them to the catering tent. On the day of the wedding “I” moved “hundreds” of chairs and the tables for the catering team. At one point, as I was moving the chairs, your father in law came into the tent and offered to help me, he moved “38 chairs”, I personally moved the rest. And moving chairs were NOT my responsibility, it was the rental company’s responsibility.
Your mom wanted to put the centerpieces together, she had bought the flowers and wanted to add them to the lanterns, I was there while she did it, I was moving chairs, while she worked on the flowers. There were many decorating ideas that your mom had in her mind and I was never told, I was there, with my team of 3 assistants, helping them and doing what else needed to be done.
By the time I left to the ceremony, at 3:30 pm, everything was in place for a cocktail hour at 5:30 and completely set for a reception at 7:00 pm. And I left 2 assistants behind as I took one assistant to the church.
I did have another wedding on the same day as your wedding, I had a lead coordinator there with 2 assistants with her. I had nothing to do with it and was not distracted because of it, my company has had, many times, double weddings on one day. The other client knew, and accepted, that it would not be me but another team at their wedding. You did not need to know because I was with you, not one but 4 days, with my team, giving you my whole attention.
I am sorry you cried in the morning, when I got there at 10:30 you were fine, so I didn’t know. I knew what needed to be done and it was done in excellent timing, mainly because I had done most of the work on the days before. I am not responsible for cutting orange peels, that was supposed to be the bartenders or caterers responsibilities, they are the ones licensed and paid to handle food.
I was offended and insulted by your mom, still, I did not leave until one hour before the end of the night, everything had been done and had happened as planned. You were having the time of your life at the dance floor, so of course, I did not bother you. I did talk to your dad and made sure he knew I was leaving.
In backyard weddings, since you are at your own house, many things are not “put in a car” as it would happen at a venue, mainly because you can choose to end the party whenever you want. So I compensate by working days before the wedding, instead of at the end of the wedding.
You had a wonderful day! Even the “100% rain” offering did not happen. The place looked amazing, your guests had the best time, food was delicious and we were always on schedule if not ahead of schedule.
I did not have an idea of you being unhappy about my services until you came back from your honeymoon and found out that I left one hour before the end. That was the first time I heard you being unsatisfied about my services. I am terribly sorry about that, had I known, at the time, that you were unhappy, I would have done whatever necessary to correct it!
Carolina and her team were the best! From our very first conversation, Carolina helped put me at ease and was ready to answer all of my questions. She was great at responding to emails and was always ready to help when needed. She also took the...
time to get to know us and every detail of our day, which helped her create an incredibly detailed and helpful wedding day timeline. The timeline helped us stay on schedule and made our wedding day stress-free, which was no easy feat when the ceremony and reception were in different locations! Carolina was also great at handling problems as they arose. Our flowers were late on our wedding day, which had the makings of a very stressful situation! Luckily I had Carolina, who handled the issue immediately. When she came to tell me about the flowers being late, she had such a calming presence that I wasn't too stressed--which is remarkable, since I get stressed easily! I so appreciated Carolina dealing with the florist, which gave me the chance to relax and spend quality time with my bridesmaids before the ceremony.
Thanks to Carolina and her team, we didn't have to worry about anything and were able to completely enjoy our day. I would absolutely recommend Carolina to any couple who want to have a relaxed, stress-free wedding day.

Aw Kelly thank you so much for this awesome review!! I am so happy that everything worked out right on time that day, I have to say that minutes before walking in to talk to you and 5 min. After I left you I was a bit worried 😅 and ready to go...
to Valley Forge Flowers to solve the problem lol, it all worked out, your ceremony was absolutely beautiful and perfect, you were radiant as you walk down the aisle and the celebration afterwards was unforgetable! Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your day, I truly enjoyed every moment of it! Wishing you and Tom a lifetime of happiness❤️
Any questions?
We had the pleasure of working with Carolina Hatton for our recent wedding. We cannot express how grateful we are for her exceptional services. To the final moments of our wedding day, Carolina and her team exhibited unparalleled professional...
ism. Communication was a standout aspect of our experience. She was always responsive to e-mails and calls. Carolina demonstrated an impressive attention to detail, creating comprehensive timeline and checklist that kept us on track. Carolina has cultivated relationships with top-notch vendors. Thanks to her connections, we were able to secure a videographer less than 24 hours prior to the ceremony. The seamless coordination between vendors is a testament to Carolina's ability to bring together a cohesive team. On the wedding day, Carolina had a health issue. Her team stepped up to the plate and the event was seamless. Our experience with Carolina and her team was nothing short of excellent. We would recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Carolina, for turning our vision into a reality.

Carolina and her team are the BEST! We seriously could not have asked for a better planner/coordinator. Carolina will help you with every little detail on the day of, and make sure that your day goes so smoothly. I can’t tell you how nice it wa...
s to have someone confirm details with all my vendors on the week of the wedding. Going into my wedding day, I felt so secure and excited knowing that Carolina would be there on our wedding day. Carolina really cares about making your day special, and it felt like she was a family member there with us that day to help out in anyway she could. Our day would not have been as perfect if it weren’t for Carolina and I would recommend her to any bride!! ❤️

e memory of your magical day always!
Carolina is the best of the best! We COULD NOT have gotten through our 2 (yes, 2) daughters’ weddings without her - she was always a quick email or phone call away! From managing a very large bridal party, to ensuring that every minute of ou...
r special day flowed on time, to meeting and coordinating with all vendors, both before and during the week of the wedding, to closing the buttons on the bride’s dress on the morning of, no job is too big or too small for Carolina (even with an injured knee!) Carolina literally thinks of every detail. She is my hero, my friend, my confidant. Her assistant Delphine is outstanding as well; so helpful, so kind, always thinking of our every need. And Carolina’s son and partner were also on point in transportating some of our decor! I feel blessed to have found Carolina when I first searched out a wedding coordinator well over a year ago. Its been a long journey, but with Carolina’s help, guidance and expertise, as well as her innate flair for design, we successfully made it through 2 very different types of weddings, only 5 months apart! THANK YOU, Carolina, from the bottom of my heart! You and your staff are absolutely the definition of a dream team!

lutely adore all of you and thank you so much for such an incredible review! I am honored to be your friend and I will treasure the memories of this two weddings always!
We hired Carolina as our day of coordinator and couldn't have been happier with our decision! We booked Carolina about a year and half out from our wedding and although we only hired her as a day of coordinator, she was there for us every singl...
e step of the way! She answered every single question I had (from helping book other vendors to questions with the marriage license) and frequently checked in to make sure we were on track with wedding to do’s. She also visited the venue with us multiple times over the course of the wedding planning process and had phone calls with us every few months. Leading up to the wedding Carolina reached out to all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and came up with the most detailed wedding day timeline! She also had an absolutely AMAZING team with her day of my wedding (Alexa, David, and Sage). They all absolutely knocked it out of the park! All 4 of them brought my vision to life, kept us on track with time, and frequently checked in with my husband and I throughout the day to make sure we were doing ok. I was absolutely stress free the day of my wedding thanks to Carolina and her team. We were in such amazing hands and our wedding was proof of that!

Amanda working with you and Matt was an absolute pleasure! I have to say that even through all of our conversations and planning, I never quite imagine the full scope of your incredible vision for the day and all the details you were making! Th...
e day of the wedding it was so much fun to execute your vision, your completely transformed the venue! It was truly magical and fantastic! Your guests had the best time!! Thank you so very much not only for this amazing review, my whole team thanks you for it, but most importantly, for the opportunity to be a part of the most dreamy day!
Carolina started as our wedding planner and quickly became family. From our first phone conversation, we gained so much peace of mind and knew our wedding was in the RIGHT hands. After many venue tours, I gave Carolina my vision (which changed ...
more than a few times) and she created something beyond my wildest dreams. Carolina's ability to deflect any stress and obstacles from me and my husband during the process and day of is something that is priceless. She was with us for every tour and asked questions that never crossed our minds. Not only did she give us great vendor recommendations, she was willing to be a part of any phone call, interview or visit we had with them. She looked over contracts, helped us with our budget and gave us honest opinion based off her experience. Carolina's phone was never off, she got back to us immediately and she took her time to ensure that we felt comfortable and understood each part of the planning process. She truly cares and looks out for you and you know you're in the best hands during these vendor choices and conversations.
As the months went on, Carolina's ability to blend my vision with hers created a night that words cannot describe. We are still receiving compliments on all the small details, the touches, the design and decor, the seamless flow of the night and everything in between. This could have never been accomplished without Carolina and her team. We had the pleasure of working with Carolina's assistant, Delphine, who was absolutely incredible as well. The best part was Carolina shared the same excitement for our day as we had. Anytime we felt stressed or overwhelmed, Carolina came in with such a positive, confident and a reassuring attitude that her excitement took away our stress and reignited our own.
Our wedding day truly was beyond what we expected. Carolina and her team worked tirelessly and we are still blown away by their talent and dedication. Words are not adequate to describe what an amazing experience it was working with Carolina.
If you are looking for someone who truly cares and knows the business book Carolina NOW! All our other vendors felt like vendors, but Carolina consistently felt like our rock. We are forever grateful for her and are blessed to have her be a huge part in the most important day of our lives. We will look back years to come and always know that Carolina was the best decision we made. Our hearts are filled with gratitude and love for her.

Jamie and Joey, there are no words to fully explain how I feel about having been a part of this part of your life! For a year and a half I had the honor to know you and Joey and your beautiful family, you all made me feel a part of your family ...

We hired Carolina for Day of Coordinator services for our May 2023 wedding. For someone who is very Type A, but has not been to many weddings to know exactly what to/not to worry about - Carolina made the very usually hectic and stressful time ...
close to and on the day of our wedding such a breeze! We had to worry about NOT A THING on our wedding day thanks to Carolina, and this was exactly what we needed to enjoy our day, and we trusted Carolina with our day in her hands. To anyone who may not need full planning - I highly recommend hiring Carolina as your Day of Coordinator because your day is so important to her, just as much as it is to you!

Attention all brides and mother of the brides,
Carolina Hatton has a gift that every bride and mother of the bride should experience. Her attention to detail was superior, her communication with everyone (including the bride, groom, bridal part...
y, venue, and all the vendors) was flawless, and her ideas for repurposing the flowers and other items were uncanny and made the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception even more beautiful than they already were. As the motherof the bride I knew when the wedding day finally arrived we were all in great hands and had nothing to worry about. Nothing. Carolina had it all done and it continued that way throughout the day. The day was spectacular. The wedding was magical. I found Carolina from The Knot reviews so I can tell you first hand she took the stress out of planning a wedding. Honestly you don't even know how much you need her until you have her. We were all able to enjoy the day. I have two other daughters and Carolina will absolutely be a part of planning their weddings as well.
Thank you Carolina!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Carolina, who is an extraordinary wedding planner. I can confidently say that our special day wouldn't have been the same without her incredible expertise and dedication. From start to finish, she wa...
s truly amazing starting with the initial consultation, it was evident that Carolina was a true professional who valued personalization and attention to detail. Her organizational skills were nothing short of impressive. She created a well-thought-out timeline with what we wanted and when that ensured every aspect of the event flowed seamlessly, leaving no room for stress or confusion. Her communication throughout the entire planning process was exemplary, promptly addressing any questions or concerns that arose. On the day of the wedding, Carolina and her team made sure everything went flawlessly. She was calm, composed and efficient, ensuring that everything went according to plan, which allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make your day smooth and flawless, look no further. To Carolina and team, thank you for making our wedding day so perfect! We are forever grateful for your incredible work and would recommend you to anyone seeking to bring their wedding dreams to life.

Amanda, this is the second review that I see it shows without a response, when I know I had responded, not sure what happened but after finding the first one I kept looking and found yours as well…..you know how important it was always for me ...
to respond as soon as I could to any and all communications so I am sorry….in any case, THANK YOU for such thoughtful and generous review! Working with you and Sam was such a pleasure!

Carolina is the absolute best! We could tell from our initial call how much experience she had with the planning process. We ended up hired her for the full 12+ month wedding planning service and she made planning a breeze! She offers so much:...
vendor recommendations, budgeting advice, decor ideas, timeline creation, and so much more! She never pressured us into anything and really let us lead the way, while supporting us along the whole process. The day-of coordination was perfect and we felt relaxed & at ease the entire day. I cannot say enough great things about working with Carolina, we highly recommend any of her services!

Friend Recommended Carolina, So Thankful She Did!
As Soon As I Called Her She Took Charge Of All The Vendors And Spoke With Each One, Ensuring I Could Now Sit Back And Relax. She Created A Timeline, That Was Priceless The Day Of The Wedding, Everyone Knew Exactly Where They Should Be And At What Time, Avoiding Any Confusion And Allowing Myself The Bride And The Wedding Party To Relax The Day Of The Wedding. She Was There For Every Meeting, Made Numerous Helpful Suggestions, She Planned The Rehearsal, Walked Us Through Everything! The Day Was Absolutely Perfect, And Without Her, I Think We Would Have Gotten Through, But Doesn’t Everyone Want There Day To Be Perfect Or As Close To Perfect As Possible? If So, Call Carolina, She Is A Pro, As Well As One of The Sweetest, Yet Strongest Person (Which You Need) I Have Ever Had The Pleasure To Work With!!

Leah working with you for your daughter’s wedding was such a pleasure, you have the sweetest daughter and seeing her so happy on her very perfect day was the best experience! Thank you for this kind encouraging words!
“Words cannot express …” may be a trite expression, but with Carolina Hatton the saying is all so true. I originally sought out a wedding planner only because my daughter and her fiancé’s venue was a little “out of the ordinary”, and I knew t...
hat we would need some help in realizing their vision. As soon as I spoke to Carolina on the phone, I knew that she was the right choice for us. Her personality is warm and caring, and Carolina brings with her a sense of calm and assurance. From day one, Carolina was there for us, answering questions, giving guidance and suggestions, but still always listening to what was important to the bride and groom. Every email we sent (I’ve lost count), Carolina responded within minutes, day or night, weekday or weekend, even when she was out of town on vacation! She makes you feel like you are the only bride she is working with, she makes you feel like you are special! Carolina always made time for phone calls with us, and never made us feel rushed. We had so many questions, and Carolina answered every one of them; in fact, Carolina answered questions that we didn’t even know we had - she was always one step ahead in the game plan. Carolina thought of, and handled, every single detail of our wedding day, from early morning til last song! And her “team” is so nice and efficient as well. On top of all of this, Carolina is an interior designer by trade, so she has the added benefit of bringing creative design to all of her weddings! Honestly, looking back, I don’t know how we would have made it through our wedding without Carolina by our side. And, after months of planning together, we now feel like Carolina is a part of our family! We recommend Carolina Hatton 1000%!!!

If I made you feel like you were special is because you are so special! What a pleasure it has been to work with you! After meeting and working with you, it is easy to see why your 3 daughters are so lovely! Thank you for making me feel a part ...

When hiring someone to work with you on your wedding, you have to go with your gut. The minute I spoke to Carolina on the phone I could tell she was filled with a ton of experience, wisdom, and amazing advice. She took time to get to know me an...
d I felt I could trust her. She didn’t push me to pick any specific plan and left it to me to pick what I felt was best for my needs overall. I chose her as a 3 month planner and day of coordinator which was perfect for me since I already had an idea of vendors I wanted to use. On our first call, before I has even hired her, she suggested to use Creamery Hill for my décor which was hands down the best advice I was given. Carolina is hyper organized, and she is extremely active on social media which I think is so important in this industry today. Brides want to see the work being done in real team and Carolina does an amazing job at sharing her creativity on social media so you know exactly what to expect on your special day. She gave amazing advice and suggestions and helped to keep my wild bridal party in line the day of the wedding 🙂. I cannot thank Carolina enough for helping me and you MUST hire her for your wedding if you want someone on YOUR team that day!!

For a person who is very type A and on top of her game, I knew I wanted someone equally dedicated to the little details, as well as creative and able to see all those details come together to make our wedding vision come to life. I could not ha...
ve found a more perfect day-of-coordinator than Carolina. She ran the tightest ship I’ve ever seen and kept my whole family and bridal party on task. We were even 40 minutes ahead of schedule, which made for an even more relaxing day. I can not recommend her and her team enough. She made us feel like family, while also keeping everyone in line and on point. I can’t imagine how the day would have gone without her. I can’t thank her enough!

Thank you for this kind review, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!!
For someone who is often planning things, it was something I didn't want to do on my wedding day. Enter Carolina.
She planned the day from start to finish with detailed timelines that helped tremendously. It was great to be at our wedding rec...
eption and not have to worry about when to cut the cake, first dance, mom/dad dances. Carolina and her staff would just come over and told us where we had to be.
The day ran smoothly and was organized. I couldn't ask for anything more. If you are thinking of hiring a planner, go with Carolina!

Lynnette thank you so much, working with you and Dane was a pleasure! Specially with you, the most organized bride ever!! Your wedding day was so perfect and you and Dane are the loveliest!
Thank you for this kind review, I appreciate it very...
much
Let me just start out by saying this: get yourself a wedding planner or coordinator. And then: make sure it's Carolina.
I can honestly say that I would not have been able to enjoy my wedding day without the help and support of Carolina. I was ...
determined to figure out everything myself to keep it affordable but that just led to tons of stress, overwhelm, arguments, and uneasy expectations. I had no idea what I was doing! But the moment after I met up with Carolina, I felt the weight totally taken off and actually started to get excited about the process!
Not only is Carolina a freaking genius when it comes to planning checklists, style & decor, and all the logistics that no one really talks about, but her expertise and experience in the industry were invaluable. Instead of sorting through vendor lists and days of researching, I had someone who's taste I trusted and who I knew wasn't trying to sell me on anything. She wanted to offer me the best advice she had to make sure my day was exactly what I pictured it to be.
Carolina and her team and incredibly hardworking and will go above and beyond to execute the day and everything leading up to it. She was such a support for me personally, especially when emotions are high and the days start to countdown. I am so so grateful to Carolina and cannot express how incredible it is to work with her.
Contact her now so you can start to enjoy what actually matters during your engagement season: YOUR LOVE and building a beautiful foundation to start your life. Not constantly worrying about the details of one day. Love you, Carolina! <3

Carolina was seriously a life-saver. After we planned our whole wedding at terrain in Devon, we realized we had to move out of state before the wedding...which means we were all of a sudden planning a wedding long-distance. Carolina took care o...
f so many things for us - from recommending vendors (who were all amazing), to letting us ship our flowers and various day-of items to her house, to finding and installing christmas trees for our January wedding, to putting all our items in our car at the end of the night, to coordinating the day-of timeline with all our vendors. We had a few day-of hiccups, but Carolina was able to help us figure everything out and took all our worry and stress away!

ibly overwhelming. Our wedding day was absolutely seamless and almost too easy, which was largely driven to all of her help leading up to and the day of coordination. She also has such a talent for design that was extremely helpful in helping to refine my "vision" for the day. I am so thankful for everything she did for us leading up to and during the day and would recommend her for anyone looking for support for planning support and day of coordination.

Audrey working with you and Nate and your fabulous team of vendor was so much fun! What a perfect, beautiful day you had!! Thank you so much for this wonderful review, I appreciate it so much!! Wishing you guys a lifetime of hapiness❤️
It has taken me a few months to write this review because it’s so hard to put into words how unbelievably talented, dedicated and passionate Carolina is. I had my wedding in Sept 2022 and Carolina, aka my mom (!) did my full wedding planning, d...
ecor, wedding day coordination (along with her team), design, and everything!! I know it seems I’m probably biased because Carolina is my mom, but as you can see from all the other reviews, it’s all TRUE!!
The best thing about planning my wedding with my mom was I got to see her in her full wedding planner glory. Not only for my wedding, but for all the weddings she planned and coordinated this year. And what I got to see is that every bride somehow got her full attention, I don’t know how she does it. She treats every wedding she does like it’s her daughter’s wedding, because this day means so much to each bride and their family and she gives every one of her weddings 110%.
You will feel so taken care of and Carolina will also bring your visions to life! Even ones you don’t know how to describe.
Some of the best elements of my wedding she thought of based on something I said but didn’t know I even wanted or from her pulling from past experiences and adjusting to match our personalities. She’s incapable of doing any less than her very best. Her experience shines when dealing with logistics and problem solving. She’s a solutions master! You will get detailed schedules and checklists to make you feel less stressed and overwhelmed throughout the whole planning process. And on the day, you’ll have zero worries because Carolina and her team have everything totally under control and you get to just have the most amazing time with your loved ones.
Our guests could not stop raving about the decor and the table settings (she made elaborate cheese boards as the center pieces as an upgraded bread and butter for the table and it was a massive hit!). And the wedding went so smoothly and the flow was perfect with everything happening just as we planned.
If you’re debating hiring a planner or day of coordinator, I can’t stress enough how worth it is. This is going to be one of the best days of your lives, and removing the stress and overwhelming aspects from it will be the best decision you make for your wedding. Enjoy it to the max and let Carolina work her magic to make the day you’ve always dreamed of a reality!!
We are eternally grateful and blessed.
Love,
Lucia & Adam

Carolina Hatton was actually one of our last vendors we booked. I was in a panic that I needed a planner to help with the timeline and make sure everything would come together perfectly so last minute I was looking for anyone to help us out! At...
this time, we were about 6 months out from the wedding and limited in finding planners who were available for our day. Then I came across Carolina on Instagram and saw her amazing reviews including ones at our venue The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve. As soon as I reached out, she scheduled a call with me to go over the wedding and made herself available to us that day! One thing that made me feel confident in Carolina was when she told me she is an interior designer too, which is something we share in common. Event planning and interiors go hand in hand. I knew she would pay attention to not only the big picture, but the small details too. Making sure everything looked beautiful and the day went smoothly for us and our guests. I was so happy and relieved to have a day of coordinator. Carolina was not only our day coordinator, but she was only a phone call and email away 3 months prior to the wedding. She responded immediately to us anytime we had a question and was able to help with finding our last-minute details. The timeline was the thing I struggled most with and one of the main reasons for booking Carolina. This timeline was so detailed down to 10-15 minute integrals it was great! The day of the wedding my Husband and I did not have to worry about a thing. Carolina and her team were always right there to take care of everything, let us know what was next and make sure us as a couple we were happy and enjoying ourselves. Even the day of the wedding last minute she helped pull together the seating signage décor. The candles she ordered did not arrive in time and I told her not to worry but she went to Michaels and grabbed the supplies last minute! I couldn’t believe she would go out of her way to do that! All the décor I had brought for the day looked amazing. She laid it out perfectly. Carolina’s eye for design is something that makes her excel in what she does. She is detailed oriented and it really shows. She was professional the whole time and a pleasure to work with. I am so happy we were able to have Carolina as our planner and would recommend her to any couple or someone planning an event. The only regret I have is I would have hired her sooner to help with contracts and other small details. I think it would have been a bit less stressful along the way.

ion to detail and helped us see where we needed to make some additions or tweaks so that things flowed nicely. She also made some great suggestions on additional vendors and resources we could use.
What we especially valued was her creative eye and ability to imagine the wedding space - she helped us a lot on decor and ‘feel’ so that we created the right ambience for the ceremony and dinner.
On the day Carolina was invaluable - making sure everything went smoothly and always being there at the right time when we needed her. This meant we could relax and enjoy our special day.

Dear Gemma,
I am so happy to read this review! Thank you so very much, this means the world to me. It was such a pleasure working with you and meeting your family as well! You had such a beautiful and perfect day and I am so glad to have been...
a part of it! Thank you for the opportunity of being a part of your day!
Carolina is simply amazing. My wife and I thought we could plan our wedding by ourselves, but we soon realized we needed a professional to guide us through the planning and day-of logistics. Carolina is a consummate professional.
She took all...
the guesswork out of getting married. Anytime we had a question, all we had to do was email or call Carolina. Within 24 hours (usually much less) she had the perfect answer for us and our wedding.
She used her years of experience to offer us suggestions, and she coached/supported us in all the decisions we had to make. From figuring out the timeline to managing vendors on the day of the wedding, Carolina made everything seamless and worry free. She took all of the stress away and allowed us to really and truly enjoy the journey.
The day of the wedding, Carolina handle all of the potentially complicated family dynamics and my wife and I could just enjoy each other and the day.
I wish I could upload pictures and video of the tablescape the Carolina designed and executed for our wedding meal. Her creativity and style are unmatched. Our guests cannot stop raving about Carolina's tablescape.
Carolina is very affordable, and she designed our perfect wedding while staying within our price range. We are so grateful to Carolina for making our perfect day, a day full of joy and devoid of stress. She made our relatively small (~60 people due to COVID) event feel like the wedding of the century.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, you do not need to look further than Carolina Hatton. She is truly amazing!

Carolina was great! I hired her as a 6 month wedding planner and on the day of the 6 month mark she shot me an email and was ready to help out. She provided recommendations for vendors based on her experience which lead me to booking my DJ and ...
transportation via her recco. She was always there to answer my questions in a prompt and informative way. As someone who was a type A bride, she allowed me to take the lead and see my vision through while acting as a support system throughout the entire process. I appreciated that she was able to attend important meetings with me such as the venue walk through for that extra support. I was very happy that I hired her - especially on my wedding day, as she handled keeping the day running smoothly!

Hiring Carolina for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We hired her for her 6 month package but she definitely worked above and beyond that for us. Carolina has the most calming energy, so for two Type A people trying to plan a ...
wedding for a second time during a pandemic, her energy was much needed to keep us calm and leave literally all the details to her. We emailed her constantly asking for advice and opinions about everything from timing and cost, to vendors, to design (and design wasn't even part of our package with her!). She always responded it felt like immediately at times. She attended calls with vendors, had a moment-by-moment timeline, worked with family dynamics and special requests, and was essentially a Jack of all trades. She definitely lives and breathes her work, and is deeply passionate about what she does. She's not only organized and detail oriented, but she's incredibly creative, so the dynamic of those two skills really shows in her work as a Wedding Coordinator/Planner. No question went unanswered, no detail was overlooked. From the morning through to the night of our wedding day I did not worry about a single thing, it was all so perfect. Carolina had it all handled; she and her team are like a truly well oiled machine. I highly recommend hiring Carolina, it will take a huge burden off your shoulders so that you can truly relax and enjoy one of the best days of your life.

Melissa this review!!!! Thank you so so much!
I enjoyed the months prior to the wedding incredibly, you and Paul were so amazing in your planning skills, so detailed and organized, two lovely people after my own heart❤️
I so enjoyed the day...
, from the morning till the end, you both were surrounded by a great group of people, your bridal party and immediate family, they were funny, helpful and loving, and then I got to experience the rest of your guests and was able to see that you were truly surrounded by so much love! The warming of the rings was the first time I noticed it, as I was following the journey of the rings, I could see the care and love each guest took with the rings, yes, there were the few here and there that took them and passed them without a thought lol, but for the most part, there were thoughtful, sometimes prayerful and even tearful moments of the guest with the rings, it was a beautiful experience.
All in all, thank you, for choosing me in the first place, for allowing me to be a part of the dreamiest of weddings and for such an amazing review!
Yours is a memory I will always treasure
Much love to both
My (now) husband and I chose Carolina because we felt a warm and genuine connection with her. We felt she was a fair person and passionate about doing the right thing, which gained our trust quickly. These things are important when you are bli...
ndly searching for someone you must depend on so wholly to help make your one special day the most magical it can possibly be. We opted for the full wedding planning which means I had access to her for an entire year! This was SO wonderful. I was constantly impressed by how quickly Carolina would respond to my questions, even when she was out of town! Even if they weren't really important. I never felt abandoned or that I was not a priority. I quickly felt Carolina not only provided me with the answers I needed while figuring out my wedding, but she gave me genuine love and care which I felt for her in return. I mention this because there is a photo of our backs, with Carolina holding my hand right before I walked down the aisle. It means SOOO much to me. It reminds me of that very moment when I was so nervous and full of so many emotions: she looked me in the eyes, talked me through it while already holding my hand, and everything was OK. That, for me, was everything. Nothing else mattered. It was a beautiful moment. Had she and I not gained the love and care that we did, it would have just been a "professional stranger" marching me forward and I wouldnt have been grounded or calmed. But this, HER, I cherished. I did an entirely a la carte DIY wedding. I made EVERYTHING. It was WAYYY more than a typical bride would have brought to the table. Probably way more than most would have dealt with. Carolina assessed what I wanted and arranged her team in a way to make sure my dream became a reality. She went above and beyond!!!! Her team worked their tails off for us! Everything ran smoothly, if there were ANY issues, we never were made aware: which is the sign of an excellent wedding planner. Our night couldn't have been any more beautiful! It was a whirlwind, but I still recall constantly seeing her staff going back and forth and Carolina was ALWAYS present. The ONLY reason we were on time and everything moved so smoothly and on point was because of Carolina coraling, gathering, staying on top of our rowdy bunch and ushering us to all the places and moments we needed to be. The DJ, photographer, and videographer all said the timeline she created for us was excellent, and that they were impressed. She even went with me to buy my dress!! It was just the two of us. I can say that I intuitively picked Carolina, and I know without a question that my gut was right. She was EXACTLY who I needed her to be, and I could not be more grateful!!!! I love her!

ough the stressful and heartbreaking task of pushing our wedding back 2 years. Our time with her was full of zoom meeting and 2 separate walk throughs of the venue. She was quick to answer any questions we had and brought up aspects of the we never even thought of. The days leading up to the wedding she was calming and thoughtful as the wedding day was looking like rain. By the time we arrived to the venue for the wedding day Carolina and her incredible assistant had already laid out all of the decorations and were a strong, but relaxing force that ensured our wedding day would run as smooth as possible. I can never thank Carolina enough for everything she did for us over the 3 years we worked with her. I would strongly recommend her to anyone planning an event. She was patient and organized every step of the way.

and her advocating for us every step of the way! We worked closely with her to achieve our wedding vision and she worked magic! We could not be more grateful to her! Do not hesitate to book Carolina for your special event!!! Your wedding or event will be more than you could ever ask for!
The smartest decision we made for our wedding was hiring Carolina! She truly made our day infinitely better. Not only did she advocate for us with our caterer at our walkthrough, pointing out things we would have never thought of, she took care...
of us in every way on our wedding day. Unfortunately our florist showed up on our wedding day with wilted flowers, when Carolina noticed she brought it to his attention, and he left. She did not let that impact our day in the slightest. She handled it all so we didn’t have to, and our day and decor was beautiful. To feel stress free and feel confident that it will be taken care of is invaluable on your wedding day. We could not begin to recommend or thank Carolina enough. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, know that it is the single handed best decision you can make for yourself. And Carolina is the best of the best!!!
My husband and I live in California and we needed to plan a wedding in Philadelphia, where my family lives. We knew we had limited time and limited knowledge about the process. We reached out to Carolina and arranged a Skype meeting to meet her...
. Hiring Carolina was the best thing we did! I have so many good things to say about her: 1) She knows so many vendors and venues, and she made decision making easy 2) She understood our budget and stuck to it, coming up with amazing ideas that saved us a lot of money 3) She is artistic and has beautiful visions. She brings an extra edge of planning and design to your wedding. 4) I should also mention we were planning a themed Lord of the Rings wedding, and she went above and beyond to make it so special! I loved that she eagerly embraced our theme. We had touches of Lord of the Rings decor everywhere, and it was unique but elegant :) 5) She is professional and punctual, her communication is clear and she will keep you and your wedding party organized. I am a person who is easily stressed and Carolina soothed my nerves and helped me out so much. You can feel her warmness and passion in the work she does and that’s so special. I had so many remarks from friends and family saying, “Gosh I wish I hired a planner like THAT for my wedding,” and I’m SO GLAD we did. If you are thinking of hiring Carolina, I highly recommend her!

Where do I start with Carolina?! While our wedding was over two weeks ago, we cannot stop daydreaming about how perfect it was (and probably will never stop!) The morning after our wedding, the first thing we did was call Carolina to thank her ...
for making our dream day a reality.
After getting engaged at the end of June 2021, my husband and I got advice to hire a planner. The funny thing about getting engaged is you quickly realize how little you know about planning a wedding… haha!
Choosing Carolina was the best thing we ever did for our wedding. Having Carolina on our team enabled our entire 13 months of engagement and planning to be relaxed and joyous (versus stressed and tense). Please trust me as I explain.. this was during a year when we relocated to a new city, got two new jobs, AND a puppy! She was our sanity and saving grace.
Not only did Carolina help us to find the perfect venue but she was a never-ending source of wisdom. No question was too silly or complicated. She had all the answers and if not, was willing to find them… and QUICK! With her calm and caring nature, Carolina kept us on schedule and helped us prioritize without creating stress.
Carolina has an incredible eye for design. She helped me take my vision (including some less common ideas), and turn them in to a reality. In fact, she helped me to LEVEL UP our vision to be an absolute DREAM. COME. TRUE. Our guests can't stop topping about our event design.
With Carolina’s guidance and expertise, we we’re able to put on a thoughtful, elegant, dance-floor-packed, 215-person party of our dreams! Words will never be able to thank her enough but trust me when I say you should absolutely trust her with your wedding.
THANK YOU, CAROLINA! XO

There are no words to describe how invaluable Carolina was to the wedding planning process. We originally thought that we could handle the wedding planning process ourselves and had only hired Carolina to be our day-of coordinator. That was i...
n 2020. After three more tries at setting a reception date, it became abundantly clear we needed Carolina more than ever and increased her services to wedding planner. There were so many highs and lows during the process and Carolina helped us to stay the course. In the end, despite my beautiful daughter and wonderful son-in-law having been married over 750 days earlier at a dear friends’ home, their wedding celebration on June 5, 2022 was majestic!! We had lavish dreams for décor and everything came together perfectly- thanks of course to Carolina’s wonderful eye for design and planning details. She made the day of celebration everything we had dreamed for it to be and we can’t thank her enough.

She put our mind at ease not only with planning leading up to the wedding but she handled everything on our special day so that we were not stressed or even aware of any hiccups that I am sure occurred. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted. Her knowledge and experience really shines through during the entire planning process. Carolina is an absolute delight to work with and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her!

Virginia and Colin and Baby Sasha😻 working with you was such a pleasure, before the wedding and then on the wedding day! Your bridal party, family and friends were wonderful and your day was a dream in every way!! Thank you so much for your ki...

Carolina was a dream to work with. Not only did she ensure our wedding day went perfectly, she helped support us through the planning process. There were so many details that I hadn’t considered before working with her, which helped make our bi...

y and friends, it was truly a wonderful experience! Thanks for your kind words, they are such an encouragement!
Working with Carolina was easily one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. She was highly recommended by a number of the vendors we were already working with, and we were eager to find someone to help tie together ...
the many moving pieces. Upon reaching out, Carolina informed us that she was already scheduled with a wedding the same day, but truly went above and beyond in agreeing to help us with the entirety of the planning process (all while linking us up with the fabulous Alexa Prange of By Catherine Alexandra). She supported us in decision-making and was so effective in orchestrating some of the more complicated and challenging elements of wedding planning (design, seating, timelines). Her attention to detail is second to none, and she really thinks through every piece of the day. Her day-of timeline was extremely helpful, detailing the day down to the minute. I received lots of positive feedback from other vendors, many of whom said that this was the best timeline they had ever seen. She is exceptionally responsive, providing a reply email, text, or phone call promptly (in minutes sometimes!). Additionally, her eye for design, willingness to advocate for you, and her ability to compassionately incorporate our ideas and visions into a reality are what really make her the BEST in the business. We will forever be her grateful for her hand in our wedding.

Mother of the Bride – April 2022 wedding.
I can’t thank Carolina enough for making my daughter’s wedding truly flawless. Her artistic eye, impeccable organization and attention to every detail made all the difference. I was initially hesita...
nt to hire a day of coordinator because I felt we could manage on our own. But as time went on, I realized, we could not enjoy the day fully if distracted in any way. My expectation was to have a technical coordinator for the day, but Carolina was so much more. I had no idea how much we needed her!
She was personable, patient and gracefully made great suggestions. Her gift for presentation and design, years of experience and network of resources were priceless. Carolina sincerely cares about her work, was always available and showed genuine concern for my daughter’s special day. And in the final days just before the wedding, Carolina brought much needed control and calm. I highly recommend Carolina Hatton. Priceless experience, skill, and excellence. 😊

Thank you Patricia for your kind words! Your daughter’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous ! Carrying out Devyn’s vision was such a pleasure ! I truly appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of your daughter’s wedding and thank you so much ...
for this amazing review!
I was a bride who thought I didn't need a "day-of" coordinator, that I was saving money by not hiring one, but let me tell you that having a coordinator, specifically Carolina, was worth every penny and more! if you're on the fence - DO IT. ...
(I put "day-of" in quotes because Carolina helped us far ahead of, and more than just on the actual day.)
When I finally realized and accepted I would be so much happier with a coordinator, we had a great initial meeting with Carolina, she offered up some references when I asked to call some former clients, and everyone sang her praises so I booked her as fast as I could.
She was such a helpful resource through the whole process - great for a gut check or an expert eye. She was so available for advice and help before the wedding, and then when the time actually came she just made the week-of and day-of a breeze.
Ahead she got every detail from us, reminding us and prompting us to make decisions that we had overlooked or not had clarity on. We outlined the whole day ahead of time, and she make sure she knew the vibe and vision we were looking for.
When we did our wedding rehearsal walk through she really helped us think through the ceremony and find gaps where we weren't sure what our exact plan was. She encouraged and enabled us to do whatever we really wanted, and we felt comfortable changing our mind whenever it made sense for us - she totally went with the flow.
Through the entire rehearsal dinner and day-of she was always there, always available while helping the day come to life, which was a perfect behind-the-scenes but at-our-side experience.
She only came to ask us key questions when it was truly necessary to ask us, she always outlined the question and the possible answers/decisions very clearly and concisely which enabled us to answer quickly and easily with minimal stress- keeping us totally engrossed in soaking up our day.
At the end of the night we were racing around to get our stuff together to get onto the party buses and I will never forget her look while she said, "I told the buses they CANNOT leave until YOU board the bus" it was perfect and hilarious - just the type of help you need in those chaotic moments where easy mistakes could happen - like the bride and groom getting left at the venue!
Overall 10/10 would book again!
Our recent wedding went so smoothly all thanks to Carolina. We used her for day of coordination and really felt as if nothing went wrong at all and we attribute that to Carolina's experience and professionalism. She is also extremely responsive...

First off my wedding wasn’t just a backyard wedding it was a massive production and Carolina and her team nailed it.
Carolina was an angel! She came to us after our first wedding planner quit. She went thrall the contracts and helped us find ...
better pricing and fabulous people! I can’t say enough good things about her. She is so responsive and can help direct you with your vision. She and I would take “quick” calls that would turn into a great talk about timeline, design, and more. Carolina truly cares about her clients and is extremely mindful of budgeting and helping everyone get what they want even when no one is agreeing.
Thank so much Carolina. You and your team really came through and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend you.

What words can I even use to express how grateful I am to Carolina and her expertise. This wedding was in the makings for almost 3 years due to Covid. By the time we postponed, all the vendors were hired and the vision was set. Then about 5 mon...
ths before the rescheduled date, we decided to look into a coordinator. Carolina wowed my mom, my sister, and myself with her passion. We hired her and she swooped right in and ran with my vision. All of her suggestions were so in line with what I wanted for our wedding day. Living in NC and having the wedding back in PA, Carolina was able to visit our venue to meet with our venue coordinator and I have 100% trust in her to make decisions on my behalf. She took all the stress away the week leading up to the wedding by ensuring I had done all I needed to do. On the day of, she executed my vision flawlessly with the help of her amazing team and in collaboration with my other vendors. While I'm sure there might have been some other mishaps throughout the day that I wasn't even aware of because she handled them, the one that I was aware of (because it involved my dress) she came in and took charge so calmly and fixed it all. From our first meeting, I felt that Carolina would truly care for me on my wedding day and do everything in my best interest. And she absolutely did. I cannot say enough good things and express my gratitude to her. The only other thing I will say is HIRE CAROLINA! It will be the best decision you make.

I wish I had found Carolina sooner! After most of my vendors were already hired, I looked for someone who could coordinate the day for me. As someone who is already organized and thoughtful, I didn't think I needed a planner, but wanted someone...
to help with the administrative end and the inevitable day of hiccups. My biggest regret is not looking and finding Carolina sooner and hiring her for a full planning package. I am sure she could have saved me money with her arsenal of vendor partners as well as ground me for what I was envisioning, the cost, other options and keeping me on budget. One of the attractions to Carolina when meeting with potential planners was her background in design. Seeing her work sold me instantly! And she was so helpful in helping guide me to see the full picture as we got deeper into the decor aspect. She always heard out all of my ideas, even the crazy ones, provided her thoughts and feedback and then ran with whichever idea I picked! As if all of that wasn't enough, my bridal party loved her for keeping us organized, on schedule and handling every last detail. We were all able to enjoy ourselves in the days leading up to the event! The bridesmaids kept saying they "need a Carolina" in their everyday life and are already asking if we can all grab a drink so we can see her again! You won't regret your decision to choose Carolina! She brings dreams to life!

We knew that we could put our full trust in Carolina and her team to ensure everything went smoothly the day of and could not be happier with the beautiful outcome!

When our wedding plans were completely upended in 2020 and we decided to switch to a backyard wedding, we reached out to Carolina, and the rest is history. Carolina and her team were there every step of the way to create and execute a completel...
y new wedding vision that ended up being a dream come true and more than I could have imagined. I don’t know what we would have done without Carolina, Alexa, and the rest of her incredible team. I can not recommend Carolina enough.
Some great things about Carolina are her capabilities in contacting and negotiating with vendors, providing her expertise and advice when making any wedding related decisions, her incredible sense of style when it comes to décor and design and her problem solving and management abilities. She was extremely adaptable and flexible to my schedule and responded to any emails or calls within minutes most of the time. In addition to these things she is personable, non-judgmental, kind, supportive and very fun to work with! Carolina has relationships with really great vendors/people that helped to make the day spectacular. She was able to provide multiple options for each vendor needed and provide specific feedback on working with them in the past, or if she had not, she could provide comparisons to other vendors that she had worked with in the past to make the best decisions for our wedding and situation. In terms of design and décor, everyone at the wedding was absolutely blown away at how Carolina and her team transformed the backyard into an incredibly beautiful wedding venue – her skills in this area are unmatched.
If you are searching for someone who will make you feel like your wedding is her first priority, who will make the planning process feel less overwhelming, and who will go above and beyond for you, there is no better choice than Carolina.

Carolina was our six month coordinator for a home wedding. Given that we had to transform a 20 acre property with a ceremony space several hundred yards away into a wedding venue, we had a lot on our plates. The amount of experience Carolina b...
rought to the table was critical, as I don’t think a new planner would have been able to foresee some of the potential issues that she did. She gave really good advice and helped guide us to many decisions that were hard to make on our own. She is also very motivated to work and check things off the list which helped us get many tasks done quickly and efficiently. Finally, on our wedding day, her and her assistants were tactful and in constant communication to troubleshoot if need be. She worked her tail off for the 4 days up to and including the wedding day to make sure everything was accounted for. Despite the call for rain all day (Carolina had plans A, B, C and D for possible rain!), the day was perfect and there was zero rain. I cannot thank her enough for working as hard as she did to make our day better than I could even imagine. She also knows many local vendors, quite a few of which we booked as well!

n I had some hiccups through planning and then postponing because of COVID, Carolina was always there to help and get the job done, and FAST. Our venue originally offered a complimentary shuttle to then say they don’t offer that anymore. In a day Carolina had multiple quotes and contracts ready to sign.
I highly highly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator, and I can’t say enough good things about Carolina and her work. You just have to see it for yourself. She’s easy to talk to, work with, and she works like you are her only client with the amount of detail and time she’s able to give to you. I highly recommend hiring Carolina, you won’t regret it.

Above and beyond. You’ll see that theme in every review because she really will exceed expectations. She was my absolute rock and I can honestly say my wedding would not have been the same without her help, and help I didn’t even know I needed....
I am a crazy planner and thought I had every detail and idea narrowed down and thought I’d just need someone to talk to vendors the day of, until I met Carolina. She not only met with all my vendors, made a min by min schedule for my entire bridal party/family, but also instantly understood my decor vision and improved on it. She has impeccable taste and you should absolutely trust her expertise but she will in no way push you or even judge you (while vetting other planners, I found some to be a bit condescending).
Even after everything was planned and set up, my mother in law saw her trimming bushes the day of to make sure every was perfect. She even added extra flowers and her own decor last minute to cover some potential eye sores that would have been in all my pictures (this was an amazing save and forever grateful).
Her commitment to making your day perfect is unparalleled and her attention to detail does not end with decor. My bridal party have been in many weddings and came up to me to say what an amazing job she did making sure they knew when and where to go.
She will make you feel like her only bride- she will always respond right away on email or text.
I could go on but seriously look no further. If you hire her, you will have a guaranteed beautiful and seamless wedding.

20+ years, already did the big shebang) and want her to do our son's wedding (single, not yet engaged). She goes above and beyond with an exquisite aesthetic and impeccable eye for detail, and does it all with grace and charm and heart. If you are here researching wedding planners, look no further. Carolina brings a vision to life and makes dreams come!

I wish I could give Carolina more than 5 stars - she deserves so many more! As I've said to people the best choice I made for my wedding was saying yes to my husband; the second was hiring Carolina as our planner. This woman is remarkable. She ...
listened very carefully to what we wanted, asked all the right questions along the way, was very attentive to our budget, recommended and managed the vendors, and took care of every single detail even as the details kept changing (planned originally for a super small Covid wedding...delayed it a few months and invited more people. Carolina never batted an eye.) Her responsiveness is remarkable - I cannot remember one time that I emailed, texted, or called that I didn't receive an almost instantaneous response. The day of she and her team transformed my childhood home into a beautiful wedding venue including having to create not one, not two, but three potential locations for the ceremony because the weather simply refused to cooperate. When she brought in the flowers my mother and I literally starting crying, they were so beautiful and perfectly captured the feeling we wanted. (true story: I insisted on carrying around my bouquet not just during much of the wedding but at brunch the next day.) Her team created a charcuterie experience (board is far too limiting a word) that I can assure you our guests will never forget. Everyone at the wedding kept telling me how special it felt and how beautiful it was and she deserves all of the credit for that. During a toast all the guests gave her a resounding round of applause. My sister who splits her time between NYC and the Hamptons already inquired as to whether Carolina would do a wedding in their area. I literally could go on and on. If you've read this far here's my advice: stop your search. Contact Carolina now and get her booked for your big day. It will be the (second) best decision you make for your wedding!

To get straight to the point, I will recommend Carolina a thousand times over to everyone I know who is getting married, or throwing any kind of event. There honestly would not have been a wedding if not for Carolina and Alexa. So GO HIRE THEM...
, and then come back to read my review :)
Because of covid, I have been working with Carolina and Alexa for almost a year and a half on our wedding. From the very start we got right to the point and they were making recommendations and guiding me on the decisions that I should be making at each stage of the planning process. There are several huge components that I hadn’t even thought of and they not only suggested them but then Carolina would reach out and get quotes for me, which is a HUGE help when you are communicating with multiple vendors. I am not a particularly organized person so I would come into our meetings slightly overwhelmed and I would always leave our meetings feeling completely at ease. It is also worth mentioning that they both are extremely kind and personable and just in general a lot of fun to work with. They have a ton of experience and were able to answer every single question I had. Leading up to the wedding they were communicating with my vendors and making sure all of the timing worked out right. Because of the weather we had to switch some things up very last minute and they handled it all with grace, only involving me in necessary situations. I feel like I could write thousands of words about all that they did in this respect but I’ve got a word limit so let’s move on to decorations :). I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do in terms of decor, but I was not concerned in the slightest because they had a vision and let me tell you, they created the most beautiful ceremony and reception space. We originally were going to have one big grazing table but with the pandemic we decided to do individual charcuterie boards as the center pieces for the tables. First of all, it’s a week after my wedding and everyone is still talking about these charcuterie boards, they were perfect. They incorporated fruit and flowers and everything else that is expected on a charcuterie board and included the table numbers in the most perfect way, hand painted on little flower pots. Go check out Carolina’s Instagram to see what I’m talking about. I provided a bunch of signs and I showed up to everything laid out beautifully in the perfect spot, and with a beautiful sweetheart table. They also made sure that everything went on as scheduled and made sure that I had everything I needed and nothing I didn’t. I could go on and on. I am 1000% confident they are best out there so you should do everything you can to hire them, they will absolutely make your day perfect.

Do not look any further for a wedding coordinator! I assure you, reader, that you won't find anyone better than Carolina Hatton. Carolina is truly an amazing professional; skilled at organizing, a keen eye for beautiful detail, and just the kin...
dest person you'll have the pleasure to meet. Carolina helped my husband, Phil, and I plan a microwedding (16 people total) and we were just so blown away with the amount of support and attention she provided us from the very beginning. She was so much more than a "day of" coordinator and stepped up when our florist ghosted us and took control when we had an unexpected ceremony delay the day of the wedding. She was absolutely our voice that day and made sure that our needs and ideas were heard. It was beyond relieving to have Carolina navigate our vendors and the venue to leave us to enjoy the wedding. Our guests raved about her to us and were just so impressed by her leadership and calm head.
Carolina met with with Phil and I several times leading up to the wedding, both via Zoom for meetings to discuss our vision and expectations, as well as meeting us at our venue to review layouts and share feedback. She was responsive to all emails and text messages and was consistently up-to-date with each and every timeline she created (believe me, you won't know how often they will change until you start planning! She handled each change in a timely fashion and made sure to share updates with our vendors). Our vendors had nothing but kind, positive interactions with Carolina, too! She really is a dream to work with.
As far as design goes, Carolina is just outstanding. When I saw the reception space, I burst into tears. I had been able to hold
back up to that point but it was impossible to not weep tears of joy, seeing what she did to transform the room and bring our vision to life. It was everything we wanted-but so much more. She added touches and elements that absolutely made it 100 times better. It felt absolutely magical and the wave of emotions I experienced was testament to her incredible skills.
Carolina is an asset as part of your team and a must hire! We will always keep a fond space in our hearts for her and we hope that you will too. She is truly a blessing.

size. Carolina made herself available night and day to address our questions and kept me sane throughout the whole process. She worked tirelessly to ensure that even with limited guests and space, we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. Carolina was able to transform my parents backyard into a dream venue. Her creativity, organization, and attention to detail made it the absolute best day of my life! The best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process was choosing Carolina. She is the kindest, most hardworking person in the industry and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone planning a wedding.

goes that extra mile to make the couple happy. My daughter's wedding was straight out of a magazine. She added so many extra touches that truly shows her level of care. Also due to Covid, the wedding was rescheduled 5 times with 3 different venues and vendors. Each time she was there with solutions. Thank you Carolina for making my daughter's dream come true.

ortunity to be a part of your wedding.
I cannot begin to explain how thankful my husband, Josh, and I are to have Carolina a part of our day!! We hired Carolina as our day-of-coordinator, but she went above and beyond that title. Josh and I had our wedding ceremony at a small church...
, followed by a reception on his family’s farm. Knowing that we would have a backyard wedding, we wanted to make sure someone was there to relieve any stress of making sure we stuck to our timeline and things ran smoothly. We were beyond impressed with how seamless the day went! In the months leading up to the wedding, Carolina met with us both at our church, and the farm to review the timeline and details. She was in constant communication with both us, as well as our vendors to ensure that she did not miss a single beat. Josh and I both enjoy salvaging items, and DIY projects; therefor we had a lot of unique details and a vision for what our day would look like. Carolina spent a great deal of time listening to our vision, and discussing details. The moment we pulled up the driveway in our party bus to see how the farm was transformed, and Carolina brought our vision to life is a moment we will never forget. It didn’t stop there, as she was busy behind the scenes ensuring the day went smoothly. Carolina is professional, trustworthy, has impeccable attention to detail and the kindest heart! We would highly recommend her to any engaged couple looking for a planner, or day of coordinator. We are so thankful for Carolina!

eativity are immense!! And to bring it all to life was a dream for me, to hear what it meant to you as you drove in brought, literally, tears to my eyes!! Thank you for the privilege of being part of your magical day, it is a memory that I will always treasure❤️
My son and his wife had a beautiful church wedding, and then had the reception on our farm. When my daughter-in-law said she had a wedding planner I thought, “wow we never had those when we got married.” But, wow, did Carolina prove to be incre...
dible! She was there with every step. She coordinated the band, food, florist, tent, and every small detail you could think of. My daughter in law was coordinating and working with her, but what I saw was incredible! I looked at her at one point and she was moving tables. She really made the wedding a wonderful experience for all! She will always hold a place in my heart! I would highly recommend to any engaged couple planning a wedding, and would make their wedding an ultimate experience!

We hired Carolina in October for our July wedding and we cannot say ENOUGH good things about her. The day went perfectly smooth and it was the most amazing day because of her. This is through possibly needing to reschedule our wedding due to CO...
VID, then finding out 8 days before our wedding that we could no longer get married at our venue and needing to reschedule to a new venue. She jumped right in and made sure everything happened and it was the most perfect day. Even with all my decor packed up in boxes, she brought my vision to life and the venue looked amazing. Our car was packed and ready for us the next day which made our lives 100 times easier. I cannot imagine how I would’ve made it through everything without her guidance and support. We had the perfect day because she made it happen. If you are thinking of getting a wedding coordinator for full out planning or even just helping on the day of, this is the person you want. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Carolina has worked with me since February-March and continues to do so since COVID has pretty much taken over 2020. My wedding was scheduled May 29, 2020 but with things the way they are we had to postpone it until next year. Carolina has been...
absolutely fabulous throughout the whole ordeal. She has contacted all my vendors letting them know of changes and seeing when everyone is available which is a huge help!! I am not a very organized person and there truly is a lot when you are planning a wedding. Carolina does an excellent job organizing everything and making sure everyone is on the same page. I really appreciate everything that she has done so far and still continues to do. I highly recommend Carolina!

Carolina was a life saver. I planned a lot of my wedding from the beginning. I got all my vendors on my own. About 5 months before my wedding I felt like I was forgetting things. I decided to hire a wedding planner. The tough thing about planni...
ng my wedding was I live on the west coast but my wedding was on the east coast. Carolina was basically me on the ground in Delaware county. She did the leg work. She went to venues. Wrote emails. Reached out to people. Helped my mom. Kept me sane. Listened to our ideas. Came up with ideas. And then Covid happened. My fiance and I were devastated. The Wedding was canceled. I honestly given up on trying to plan anything. Carolina came swooping in. She contacted all the vendors and changed dates for everything. All I had to do was sign some contracts. She is beyond amazing and you would be lucky to have her as your wedding planner. I am forever grateful that she helped me plan my beautiful day :)
