Hiring Carolina Party Planners was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! They helped us with setup and cleanup, bartending, and catering service, and they we...
nt above and beyond to make sure that our day was stress-free. Their patience with us leading up to the wedding was unmatched. They hopped on multiple group calls to answer all of our questions and remind us of any planning details we may have missed. Since they often work at our venue, they had tons of tips that helped us to make the best use of the space. They also helped us to plan our entire drink menu and suggested purchase quantities based on years of experience.
On the day of, they were absolutely fabulous. They moved chairs across the property for us, cleaned all of the tables promptly without rushing anyone, and kept the drinks flowing. They even set up a second bar so that the guests wouldn’t have to walk too far for drinks, and the bartenders checked on the sweetheart table routinely so that my husband and I never had to go to the bar. Teardown was efficient, and they coordinated with our caterers to make sure that all of the food and alcohol was boxed up for my family to take home. They were honestly the best—I don’t know how we would have had the wedding without them, and we fully recommend hiring them!
Did a great job serving my guest and making sure everyone got what was requested.

rs that took no shortcuts, worked tirelessly for five hours, left no mess behind, and even helped us clean up some of the mess that was made by catering as well.

Very professional and exceeded our expectations! 10/10 would recommend!

hey were so sweet and professional. We had a wedding during the pandemic (10-20-2020) and everyone on the team wore their masks appropriately and followed all of the Covid precautions. They were so friendly and lovely to our guests. They seemed truly happy for us and even gave me a really sweet handwritten card at the end of the night. If you live in the Triangle this is definitely the group you want to book for ANY event. They were super responsive, well organized and affordable. Also the bartender is very generous with the pours 😉 haha
