Carrie Dayton Events & Consulting

Carrie and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. Our wedding day/weekend wouldn’t have been possible without their expertise. Carrie went above and beyond to accommodate all of our wishes and gathered our dream team of vendors to pull off our wedding weekend. Because of COIVD, our wedding would been cancelled, but with Carrie’s willingness and professionalism to work around the clock to plan, replan, plan, and replan every detail and handle every obstacle thrown at us, the entire weekend went off without a hitch. We still have guests raving about how breathtaking the wedding was and how much fun they had. Carrie was there for us during the whole planning process. She made it easy to make decisions and understood my vision from the start and turned it into one of the best weekends that I will cherish forever. It truly was the perfect day/weekend. I am hopeful our paths will cross again, and we will remain close friends with her.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Carrie and Jackie. They took care of everything and made our vision come to life.

I don't even know how to put into words how amazing Carrie is and how grateful I am to her. I have never met anyone who loves what they do more than Carrie. To say she is on top of everything, goes above and beyond, and truly is the best at what she does would be an understatement. She not only takes care of everything for you and would do anything you ask, she is a wonderful person who actually cares about her clients. A small example of what she did for me was she knew that I had a lot of food allergies and I had given up the idea that I would not be able to eat my own wedding cake. She made it her mission to change that. Somehow, Carrie managed to find me a cake that was gluten free, dairy free, honey free, egg free, low sugar, and no processed ingredients that I kid you not was the best cake I ever had. My husband even loved it! The cake itself was so beautiful as well. Carrie was there for when I say everything, I mean everything! She went to wedding dress fittings and countless meetings with vendors. She studied how to bustle my dress so the day of would go smoothly and she collected all ten of my bridesmaids dresses (AND robes), my dress, and my veil so she could have them the morning of my wedding ready to go, wrinkle free! It was so nice to have her there on my wedding day to keep us on schedule. I was not stressed or worried at all because I knew that Carrie was taking care of everything. Every time I needed Carrie during this whole wedding planning process, she was there. She responded to texts within seconds. Carrie made my wedding so perfect. The entire process would have been so stressful and chaotic without her. I am forever grateful to her. ❤️

Oh my goodness, you have no idea how amazing Carrie is until you work with her. I have a degree in hospitality management and expect good service. She is a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP), which is the only type of event consultant I would even consider. *And the only type you should consider too. A lot of people are not familiar with what it takes to be a CMP. 1) an undergraduate degree in hospitality; 2) Extensive work experience in the field or as an educator; 3) Written examination. This certification is just like any professional certification/ examination process (ex: CPA). When you hire someone with this on their resume, you are getting a Professional. Other "planners" generally have no relation to the hospitality industry. Seriously, check out their resumes. Ok, now on to the even better stuff. Carrie is the best decision I made regarding my wedding, besides my decision to marry my husband. My husband and I were finishing up our last year of law school & my parents are in an other state. I became really frustrated because I had taken on too much worker. Then I found Carrie. She saved my sanity throughout the process and on the big day. She takes a really strong collaborative approach with other professionals. She worked with my florists and photography so well that my parents asked if they were all in business together. However, that is just the approach she takes when she works. Near the end of the planning process, I kept flying to Houston for dress fittings and missed a lot of important meetings. Eventually I told Carrie to just make decisions for me. Now, if you knew me in person, you would see how big of a deal that really is to me. I have control issues. I like certain things in a certain way, but Carrie knew what I wanted. I trusted her and thank God! My wedding was so beautiful. Everything was perfect, except my cake...But even Carrie fixed that for me by getting more roses to place in certain areas to cover up the fatal flaws of the bakery (Bliss Bakery). Everything she did was just professional. She was not pushy or intrusive, she helped guide me through the day. My sister (another picky person) told me that if she has her big wedding this year, she wants to hire Carrie to come down to Texas and run the show. Ok, now I just sound like I am working for her because I keep telling you to hire her. Lol. But in short, she is awesome. My husband and I love her. We miss Carrie now because she made my life so easy
