I had the pleasure of working with Carson Weddings (Leah Miller) for my big day, and it was an absolute game-changer! They turned our dreams into reality with ease. Their attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills were top-notch. Thanks to their expertise, our wedding day was stress-free, beautiful, and filled with unforgettable moments. Hiring a wedding planner was the best decision we made, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We are so grateful for Leah Miller and her incredible team! If you need a wedding planner/coordinator then look no further!!! Leah is your girl!!!

Carson Weddings was the best decision I made to help plan my wedding. I was living in Mississippi, planning to have a Santa Barbara wedding and Leah made it happen. Never once did I feel overwhelmed, or stressed out. Leah kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, making sure I had vendors, she kept me on tract with final payments for vendors, as well making sure everyone was on the same page with music, timing, and the day of schedule. She made herself very available for any questions and phone calls. Day of, I did not have to worry about ANYTHING. It was handled, and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Carson Weddings to anyone in the Santa Barbara area, they were wonderful!!
