Carrie was truly the best investment we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she understood our vision and elevated it beyond anything we could have imagined. She has an ...
incredible eye for design and made thoughtful recommendations that transformed our venue into something absolutely stunning.
When I shared a few things I wanted to change about the space, Carrie came up with the most beautiful calla lily installation suspended over the dance floor. It became the focal point of the entire event, completely elevated the atmosphere, and was one of the most talked-about details by our guests. People are still telling us how breathtaking it was.
Beyond her design expertise, Carrie's guidance on the timeline was invaluable. Every recommendation she made just made sense, and the entire day flowed seamlessly from one moment to the next. I never had to worry about a thing because I trusted her completely, and that trust paid off in the most magical wedding we could have ever hoped for.
Knowing Carrie was there gave me such peace of mind. She is talented, creative, organized, and genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for her couples. Thanks to her, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Working with Carrie was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. After our first meeting with Carrie, I left feeling confident that we were...
in the best hands! Carrie was a true partner every step of the way. She is organized, patient and very intentional throughout the planning process. Her vendor recommendations were wonderful! The trust and relationships she’s built within the industry made all the difference and allowed everything to come together effortlessly.
On wedding day, Carrie & her team were the BEST! Carrie’s poise and calming presence consistently shined through. Due to Carrie’s thoughtful planning, attention to detail and all of the preparation, our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. The entire day ran flawlessly, and thanks to Carrie, I was able to be truly and fully present to soak in every single moment from start to finish!!
Carrie is an absolute professional in every sense of the word, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. Thank you, Carrie, for turning my dream into a beautiful reality — I truly couldn’t have done it without you!! ❤
From start to finish, working with Carrie was an absolute dream. As someone who works in the events industry, I came into the planning process with high expectations — and she didn...
’t just meet them, she exceeded them in every possible way.
Carrie’s organization, creativity, and calm presence were unmatched. She thought of everything before it even crossed my mind, handled every moving part seamlessly, and made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. On the wedding day itself, she truly outdid herself — everything ran flawlessly, the vision was executed beautifully, and I was able to be completely present and stress-free knowing she had it all under control.
What impressed me most was her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. Carrie set the standard incredibly high, and I can confidently say she is one of the best I’ve worked with, both personally and professionally. I would recommend Carrie Anne Events without hesitation to anyone looking for a planner who is not only incredibly talented, but also a joy to work with. Simply put: she nailed it!
My daughter and I went into the wedding planning process wide eyed and naïve. She hadn’t grown up dreaming of her wedding, so we were literally starting with a blank slate. From ou...
r very first meeting with Carrie, we knew that we were in very competent hands. She carefully and thoughtfully got to know the bride, her personality, the Colorado-loving couples’ vibe, and came back with the perfect design, bringing some Rocky Mountain flair to a Charlotte wedding. Not only did Carrie have the creativity and vision, she executed every task along the way with professionalism and expertise. Not once did we question her direction and if we ever came to her with any concern or general wedding jitters, she immediately put us at ease. Carrie has a great working relationship with solid vendors that we knew we could trust. The planning process was fun and seamless and the wedding day implementation was spot on! As the mother of the bride, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the day and felt so blissfully at ease – an indication that Carrie and her team handled every detail and schedule down to the minute and I was oblivious to it all. I had guests say they never saw the wedding coordinator, which speaks to Carrie’s expert skill and behind-the-scenes command of the day. The bride and I cannot recommend Carrie enough to any future bride! I know there are a lot of wedding planners out there, but personally we owe a huge debt of gratitude for the BEST wedding experience to Carrie Anne Events.
Working with Carrie at Carrie Anne Events was a great decision for my wedding! From the beginning, she brought such creative and beautiful design ideas to the table—she really unde...
rstood my style and helped shape the overall vision of the day into something truly magical.
On the day of the wedding, right after the ceremony, it unexpectedly started to rain. I was so worried it would derail everything, but Carrie handled it flawlessly. She kept me calm, quickly adjusted the plan, and seamlessly moved everything that needed to be indoors—without guests even realizing anything had changed!
She also managed all of the vendors perfectly, so I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of the day because I knew Carrie had everything under control.
Thank you so much, Carrie, for your incredible support, talent, and calm presence. I truly couldn't have done it without you!
THE BEST! She is so organized and thinks of everything before you even have to. Highly recommend.
Carrie and her assistant cammy were INCREDIBLE. Very detail oriented and professional. They made me feel much less stressed going into my big day - they took care of everything! Th...
ey also worked great with my other vendors so that took a lot of work off my plate. Would 100000% use them again.
Carrie was, without a doubt, the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process! She is worth every single penny—and then some. I truly can’t imagine going throug...
h the planning process without her and feel incredibly lucky that our wedding was one of the many to experience her planning magic firsthand!
Carrie understood and supported my vision from Day 1. She helped us refine every detail, and turned what felt like a dream into an even more beautiful reality! Carrie has cultivated an amazing network of vendors, and it was clear that they not only respected Carrie, but genuinely enjoyed working with her too! From vendor coordination to timeline management, décor design, and all the behind-the-scenes logistics, Carrie handled everything with grace and professionalism.
Another thing I deeply appreciated about Carrie was her honesty and practicality when it came to managing the budget. She never just said “yes” to everything—I could always count on her to offer thoughtful guidance that protected both my vision and my finances. She helped steer me toward choices that aligned with my priorities while still making financial sense, and that kind of integrity and insight made all the difference!
Our wedding day was truly flawless. I had braced myself for the usual hiccups, but I honestly can’t think of a single thing that went wrong. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing everything was in the most capable hands. Guests couldn’t stop raving—it was described as one of the most beautifully organized and thoughtfully executed weddings they’d ever attended. We owe all of that to Carrie and her incredible team!
THANK YOU CARRIE ANNE EVENTS! 💕✨💐💍
Carrie, you are truly the best of the best and we are beyond thankful for you and your team making our wedding day absolutely perfect. You made the planning process a breeze and st...
ress-free and FUN! I will miss our planning calls so much and I can't thank you enough for making it such an enjoyable experience. You took every one of our wedding-day wishes/ideas and brought them to life even more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. It was perfect. Day-of, you and your team were spectacular - keeping Christian and I calm and stress-free and truly allowing us to soak in all the magic you worked so hard to create. If anyone is ever looking for a planner I will recommend you every time - you are so incredible!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We appreciate you so much - words don't do it justice. All our love and thanks - Catie & Christian Baum

e fully present and enjoy every moment knowing she had everything under control behind the scenes.
Throughout the planning process, Carrie was patient, thoughtful, and always made us feel heard. She helped us stay organized and on budget, which made the experience so much smoother and more enjoyable.
Her vendor recommendations were amazing—we genuinely loved everyone we worked with, and it was clear she has built strong, trusted relationships in the industry. If you’re looking for a planner who listens, keeps things on track, and brings calm confidence to every step of the journey, we can’t recommend Carrie highly enough.

how short of a timeline we gave her to work with by the outcome of our day. She has the best eye for every little detail you would never even think about, making our day that much better. She is incredibly organized, insanely creative, and would consistently check in with us throughout the planning process. There wasn’t a single moment in our day we felt stressed, allowing us to fully soak in every little moment with each other as she worked behind the scenes making everything run smoothly. We were so lucky to have her!! I cannot recommend Carrie enough!
There are simply no words to describe how incredible Carrie was. From the moment we first talked I knew we had to hire her. She knew how to take the vision in my head and turn it i...
nto the most magical day I could have ever imagined. Any anxieties or nerves I had throughout the process she was always able to calm them and was always a phone call or text away if I needed anything. All the way through the process until the venue kicked us out and even after she was a pleasure to work with and truly became a friend throughout. My husband and I cannot recommend her enough!
Hire Carrie as your wedding planner, you will not regret it!! Korey and I had an absolute amazing day and a stress free year leading up to the wedding because Carrie handled it al...
l. My family loved meeting her at the wedding, she has an amazing personality and an even more amazing eye for design.
My husband and I got engaged last July and quickly realized how much work goes into planning a wedding 😅 we started looking for some help and after a couple of calls found Carrie....
She is an amazing person, planner, and designer. She helped us stay on track for all of our tasks and greatly helped with the design of the wedding which turned out absolutely stunning. The week of the wedding I had almost nothing to do and could really enjoy the experience with family and friends. I highly recommend her for your mental health haha you won’t regret it! ❤️
I could not recommend Carrie Anne Events more for your next event. We partnered with Carrie for our June 2023 wedding. The entire process was seamless-- from choosing vendors to de...
signing the wedding; all while making sure we didn't exceed our budget. Our wedding would not have been a success without Carrie and the team.
Hiring Carrie was the best decision for our wedding weekend. We worked together for a year and a half on Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Day, and I don't know what I would have done w...
ithout her unwavering support and assistance. Carrie and her team made sure the wedding weekend went smoothly. They truly go the extra mile to make sure the newlyweds and their parents are able to have a fun and relaxing time at all events. Carrie is also very knowledgeable about all aspects of the planning process, costing, ways to save money, and she puts together a great design board so you get a glimpse of what your big day will look like. Having a wedding planner is great for your wedding weekend, but having Carrie is like having a best friend support you through the entire journey.
I found Carrie on the Knot and I am so grateful I did! Our special day was incredible thanks to Carrie's planning. Our guests are still talking about how it was the best wedding th...
ey've ever been to. We could not have done it without her!
We booked her full-planning package (highly recommend) for our residential wedding. She helped us find vendors, budget, decorate, coordinate, staff, and execute on the big day. She was kind, fun to work with, and most of all, pulled off a one-of-a-kind wedding for us.
Carrie quite literally saved my wedding day!!! A friend of mine who works in the events industry recommended Carrie to me and after our initial call, I cancelled every single meeti...
ng with all the other planners. We immediately clicked because of how sweet and eager she was to make our wedding experience as joyful as possible. I explained to her that I enjoy planning and was excited to take part in the whole process but just needed some guidance along the way. We were able to customize a partial planning package and I am so thankful we did. The entire planning process was so smooth with Carrie! She offered such great recommendations and we had the best monthly chats to keep me in check. I was always excited to have her help, but it wasn’t until the month of the wedding that I really felt grateful. A couple weeks before our big day, it felt like one thing after another kept happening to my fiancé and I. However, Carrie always had a solution for us! She was so optimistic (which is just what you need when you’re stressed and confused) and we left every conversation with her feeling better than we did before. Our wedding day was such a BEAUTIFUL breeze because of her and I truly don’t know what it would’ve looked like or what we would’ve done without her help. While handling everything that was thrown our way, she still managed to keep us high priority and always checked in to make sure we were happy and excited for the biggest day of our lives. She was our saving grace and we will absolutely be hiring her again for our vow renewal in the future!!!
I only had two stressful decisions to make around my wedding.
1. Do I hire a wedding planner? (I 1000% recommend it)
2. Who do I trust to help guide me on setting up this big day!...
?
After our first phone call, I knew I needed Mrs. Carrie on my team. She immediately struck me as attentive, creative, and confident. Every email and phone call after that further bolstered my first impression.
I knew I needed extra help, so I requested her full-service package. Although I was eager (being a creative type), there were times when I was nervous or uninformed. When I was excited, Mrs. Carrie would share that excitement with me. When I was unsure, Mrs. Carrie would lead with suggestions and reassurances.
The wedding day was fabulous. The setting was more beautiful than a dream, everyone ended up in the right places at the right times, and she even helped me remember to eat! If I ever plan any other big event, CAE will be the first call I make.
Carrie was our Month of Coordinator for our wedding and she was awesome!!! We kept in touch through our the whole wedding process, making sure I had everything I needed and getting...
things done on time. Around 45 days out from the wedding Carrie took over all the emails and planning process! She made it so smooth, easy, and especially stress free for me! On the day of she was always near and there to help. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was if Carrie wasn’t there!!! Can’t recommended her enough, Thank you CAE for everything- The HORNE’S
September 2022 - VanLandingham Estate. Out of the hundreds of decisions you'll make to plan your wedding, Carrie was easily the most valuable and rewarding decision we made. We boo...
ked Carrie just as she ventured out into starting her own business - we felt she offered great value with her 'Partial Planning' package since we already had booked a venue. I would recommend her for Full Planning as well.
Carrie exceeded our expectations with her service from beginning to end. She wore many hats throughout our wedding journey, and the end product was truly the best weekend of our lives.
From the beginning, Carrie makes you feel like she is a close friend you've known for years who just happens to be an expert in Charlotte weddings. She knew every venue and vendor, and her recommendations followed through and were excellent. On top of everything you'd hope from a coordinator, she handled every situation with grace, patience, and ingenuity. She always had a suggestion or an idea, but also had an attentive ear to cater to our vision. Carrie took initiative to solve problems without being prompted, and was a calm haven on our wedding day, letting us soak in every moment without worry.
I'll miss our planning sessions, where Carrie would often serve as our "therapist", helping us get through difficult decisions where everyone ended up on the same page. Wedding budgets can be difficult - booking Carrie is easily the most bang for your buck expense I can recommend.
Carrie and her team did an exceptional job throughout our entire wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations and was so patient! She took the time to get to know us both pe...
rsonally which was reflective on the vision boards she created. She gave us so many creative ideas and also worked with all of our vendors to relieve our stress! Day of she made sure everything went smoothly and on time! I'm so glad we went with Carrie and we'd love to have her plan any future events. We wouldn't have been able to create such an amazing wedding without her! Thanks Carrie!!
Carrie was truly the best wedding coordinator I could have asked for. She is creative, organized, professional, and kind. The week before my wedding was so stress free because Carr...
ie took care of all of the last minute details and communications with various vendors. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and the flow from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception to the sparkler send off was flawless. Carrie is your girl for all wedding planning and coordination needs!
Part way through our wedding planning process, we realized we needed help pulling all the pieces together to make our vision a reality. I found Carrie Anne Events through Instagram...
posts by a few of our other vendors and immediately knew she was the right person for the job! From the day we booked with her to now (11 days AFTER our wedding) she has been absolutely amazing!! Her attention to the details, both big and small, were incredible! She was able to take our thoughts and ideas and turn them into a reality. Some of my friends jokingly refer to me as "Monica" from friends because I tend to over plan and think about every little detail so I definitely had very high expectations for our big day and Carrie surpassed each and every one of them with her execution! Another pro to working with Carrie is that she knew the business, things my fiance and I never thought about, she was on top of it all!
Carrie was amazing to work with from the initial meeting to the day of the wedding! She made planning a wedding in less than five months seamless. All the vendors she recommended...
were excellent and exactly what we were looking for while staying within our budget! We were able to enjoy and take in every moment of the wedding day because of Carrie!!! Thank you for making my daughter and now husband’s dream wedding come to life!!!
Carrie is the best wedding planner ever! She made planning my wedding easy and fun! I could not have done it without her. She has a great eye and her designs are gorgeous. 10/10

ons and was very honest but allowed me to really execute my own personal stlye and ideas. She kept the planning process very smooth and on schedule. She has great vendor suggestions and knows all the ins and outs about planning a perfect event of any size! I’ve recommended her to friends and family!
My husband and I had Carrie work our wedding, she was really SO amazing to work with. Between helping us pick the perfect color scheme and table settings to holding our hands the d...
ay of, she gave us the best wedding experience. She also worked really well with the day of coordinator that our venue provided, I feel like that was key to making the dream team. Because Carrie worked so well with the coordinator who was familiar with the venue, everything come together seamlessly. I couldn’t imagine our day without her help, creativity and enthusiasm.
