Cara was absolutely amazing to work with! I had a very specific vision in mind, and she helped bring it to life by reassuring me that the decisions I was making—like the vendors we chose—were the right ones. We already knew Cara was incredible at what she does, but our wedding day completely confirmed it. She handled everything so my husband and I could be fully present and enjoy the day. She kept us on schedule and always made sure we were exactly where we needed to be. At one point, she was even on her knees scrubbing the dance floor because it had gotten scuffed during delivery. If that doesn’t scream amazing, I don’t know what does! Truly, from the bottom of our hearts — thank you, Cara and your team, for bringing our dream wedding day to life!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Everly & Co for Month-Of Planning for our wedding, and we truly cannot say enough good things. We first got to know Cara when she planned my sister’s wedding last year, so bringing her on for ours was an easy and obvious choice.
Working with Cara is truly a breeze. She is calm, clear, organized, and brings a sense of ease to every step of the process. Knowing she and her team had everything under control gave us the freedom to actually relax and enjoy our wedding weekend — which is the greatest gift we could have asked for.
On the day of, her team guided us with such confidence and poise. Everything ran smoothly and felt completely effortless from our side, and that’s all thanks to the care and detail they put in behind the scenes.
Thank you, Everly & Co, for helping make our day so seamless and unforgettable!

Hiring Everly was definitely one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. We went back and forth about hiring a planner and we are so happy that we did! They offer several different service options and were really easy to work with. We had meetings leading up to the wedding that helped to answer questions and put our minds at ease. We worked with Lakelin and she was just awesome. She coordinated everything on wedding day so well that we were able to relax and really enjoy the day. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Everly!

Kourtney made sure our day was flawless and we didn’t have to stress about anything on our wedding day. We did the most basic tier of planning and got so much more than we could have hoped for. She came to our details meetings at the venue and helped guide us through decision making and kept us on time. On our wedding day, everything was taken care of and we had no issues at all, which we are very thankful for. We would 100% hire Kourtney again.

Working with Everly & Co. was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with Cara as our lead planner, and she truly went above and beyond from start to finish. Wedding planning can definitely feel overwhelming at times, but every time I met with Cara, she brought such calm, confidence, and clarity. She constantly reassured me that we were right on track, and her organization and expertise gave me so much peace of mind.
When the big day arrived, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Cara and her team handled absolutely everything with such grace and professionalism. I fully trusted her with the design and flow of our welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception—and she delivered something straight out of a magazine. It was beyond anything I could have imagined!
Even after the wedding was over, Cara continued to support me through a few post-event details. Her care and commitment didn’t stop at the event itself, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life and make the planning process enjoyable, Everly & Co. is the team you want by your side.

Choosing Everly & Co to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We used their wedding management service, which afforded us the opportunity to actively participate in the planning of our wedding alongside an invaluable support system. Specifically, we worked with Cara — she was the BEST communicator and helped me make decisions to ensure our special day was perfect. I cannot emphasize this enough: working with Everly & Co minimized any stress during the day of, which allowed my husband and I to be completely present throughout the day. I promise you will not regret choosing to work with them!!!

Words cannot express how WONDERFUL the Everly team is!!! We had the privilege of working with Cara, and she is truly a GEM of a human. She is SO knowledgeable, responsive, communicative, helpful, kind - I could go on!! She always made me feel so well taken care of and I knew we could put our full trust in her to have the most seamless day. We chose the partial planning package, but I honestly feel she went above and beyond that with how much she helped us out with every aspect of our wedding. She helped us book INCREDIBLE vendors, handled communication with our venue/vendors and all of our questions with ease, and truly was the best guide we could've ever asked for. We had a vision in mind for an elegant Italian-style wedding, but Cara blew us away with how she helped that vision come to life more beautifully than we could've imagined. She even took the initiative to update/change something for our ceremony a few hours before and made it happen so fast, and it made SUCH a huge difference to the whole vibe! We had multiple guests commenting that our wedding was the most beautiful and seamless one they'd ever been to, which is huge coming from guests, and our families were so impressed with how smoothly everything ran as well. As the married couple, we couldn't have felt more special and more taken care of on the actual wedding day. Cara and Tiffany were both there from start to finish, took over everything, and genuinely made us feel like we could 100% relax and enjoy the day. I was expecting to feel a little stress on wedding day, and I truly didn't worry about a thing - we were just on cloud nine all day. They guided us through everything and I can genuinely say it was the most perfect, stress-free, and beautiful day of our lives. We would HIGHLY recommend Cara, Tiffany, and Everly to anyone looking for an incredible planner!!! I promise they will be the BEST asset you could ever ask for on your big day!!

I honestly can't put into words how amazing Tiffany, Caitlin, and the entire Everly team are! They made our dream wedding come to life. We hit some bumps along the way, but they handled everything without a hitch. There's truly not a single thing I’d change about our experience, and that’s all thanks to how perfectly Tiffany and Caitlin took care of everything. They’re so professional but also warm, kind, and caring—they’ve become real friends to us. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further than the Everly team. Caitlin & Tiffany, you couldn’t have been more perfect for us, and we’re so grateful to have had you by our side for our big day!

We had the pleasure of working with Whitney & Tiffany with Everly & Co. for our wedding in summer 2024. I can't recommend them enough! From the very first meeting, Whitney was not only professional but also incredibly attentive to our vision, needs, and budget. She provided invaluable guidance every step of the way, ensuring every detail was taken care of, even the ones I never would have thought of.
On the day of the wedding, Tiffany and her team were nothing short of amazing. Everything ran so smoothly and stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day. She handled all the logistics with grace and efficiency, and I truly believe the day wouldn’t have been the same without their expert planning and coordination. From the timeline to vendor communication, they made sure everything was perfectly aligned.
Whitney & Tiffany’s work exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

I can’t recommend Everly & Co. enough! Alex was our planner, and she made our wedding an absolute dream. We chose the partial planning package, which included her design expertise, and it was worth every penny! From start to finish, Alex was there to guide us, giving us peace of mind throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly thanks to her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Because of her, we have the most incredible memories to cherish forever!

I don’t even know where to begin, hiring Lakelin from Everly and Co. was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Being a wedding coordinator myself I was very adamant about hiring someone who was going to make sure every fork was turned right, every detail was set in place, and someone who was going to run the day with grace! From the very beginning stages from my consultation with Everly and Co. to even after my wedding they heard me and my needs and made me feel as if my day was just as important to them as it was to me. Once I booked and luckily got placed with Lakelin she demonstrated incredible professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail that truly set her apart. She took the time to understand our vision and went above and beyond to bring it to life, all while staying calm and composed throughout the entire process.
On our wedding day, everything was seamless, and it was all thanks to Lakelin and the amazing vendors we hired! She handled every detail with precision, ensuring that we could fully relax and enjoy the moment without a single worry. From coordinating with vendors to making last-minute adjustments, she made it all look effortless.
Lakelin has a natural talent for turning dreams into reality, and her warmth and genuine care made working with her such a joy. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will make your day truly perfect, Lakelin from Everly and Co. is the one to hire, as I am sure any of the girls from Everly and Co. are amazing and you cannot go wrong with booking them for your wedding or event!! Highly, highly recommend!

Katlin at Everly and Co. was honestly a godsend from the beginning of our wedding planning process all the way through our wedding day. She helped us understand the process of interviewing and booking our vendors along with setting up the calls and being on the line to help guide us with the proper questions and insight. She kept us on track throughout the year leading up to our wedding day from the initial vendor bookings, to invitations, rsvps, seating charts , last minute details and day of. We truly believe that we wouldn’t of been able to get through this process without her. We would recommend her and Everly and Co. in a heartbeat.

We got married on 9/26/24 at The Trillium Venue. We were lucky enough to work with Melissa throughout our planning process. From the beginning Melissa was so welcoming and made the planning process run smoothly. She kept us on track and gave us amazing recommendations/ideas! We were able to meet Melissa at the trillium open house. She was so sweet and talked us through everything! She was always on top of our check in calls and very responsive to messages no matter what time of day. As we got closer to the day Melissa took care of all the finishing touches and made sure we felt good about everything. She was very accommodating to any changes we wanted to make!
A few days before our wedding we realized it was going to rain a ton on our day. Melissa reassured that everything would be ok and we’d come up with a rain plan. It was a hard day for me as I realized I wouldn’t be getting my mountain view wedding that I had imagined. Melissa stayed positive and was confident that our day would be absolutely beautiful. She talked through all of our options and even gave her honest opinion on which would run smoother. I felt good about our plan and Melissa ensured that if I wanted to change anything the day of that it’s no problem.
The day of the wedding it continued to pour. We started finding out about road closures leading up to the venue due to flooding. Both parking lots were flooded where all of our guests were supposed to park. At this point my fiancé (bless his heart) took over all communication so I could still have my moment while getting ready. Melissa took charge and worked with the shuttle company to find an alternate parking lot. My fiancé, parents, and maid of honor were able to spread the word early enough for guests to plan accordingly.
I cant thank Melissa, her assistants, and all the vendors for everything they did for us that day. Everyone worked together to make the day run as smoothly as possible. Everything turned out so beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The ceremony was perfect, cocktail hour was a hit, and the reception was fantastic. Truly everything came together so nicely. Everyone arrived there and back safe and sound.
The next day we received so many compliments about how perfect the wedding was and the rain was just a small part of it. In the end we had the most amazing day with the best team around. We will never forget what you did for us Melissa. You made such a special impact on our day. We couldn’t have done it without you. You’re the best!
If you’re still searching for a planning company this your sign to go with Everly & Co. You won’t regret it!

We were referred to Cara and Everly + Co by a friend and let me tell you, from our first phone call with her we knew that she was the right person for us. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and all of that is thanks to her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication.
Cara managed every aspect of our wedding with remarkable expertise and creativity. Her ability to listen to our ideas, guide us in parts that were unknown and then bring it to life was truly impressive. She ensured that every tiny detail—from the floral arrangements to linens to the monogramed bar—was executed flawlessly. We were constantly amazed by her organizational skills and her knack for problem-solving, making our planning process not just easy, but fun.
Cara’s warm personality and professionalism radiated throughout the entire experience, making us feel supported every step of the way. She ensured that we could soak in every moment on our special day, taking care of everything behind the scenes without us ever having to worry.
Thanks to Cara and her team, Alex and Lakelin, our wedding was not only beautifully orchestrated but also genuinely reflective of us as a couple. We received endless compliments from our friends and family about how everything was perfect(and how great the coordination team was)!
We cannot recommend Cara and Everly and Co highly enough. If you are looking for someone who will treat your special day with the utmost care and dedication, look no further than them!
We will always remember the 21st night of September thanks to you!

Our wedding on October 6, 2024, at The Trillium Venue in Sevierville, TN, was truly the best day of our lives, and we owe so much of that to Cara and the Everly & Co. team. From start to finish, Cara made the entire planning process feel effortless. Her creativity, spot-on recommendations, and responsiveness were unmatched. I genuinely didn't experience the typical stress that most brides go through, and that’s all thanks to Cara and the incredible vendors she recommended.
From the very beginning, Cara set us up for success with a detailed pre-planning call, where we discussed our budget, creative ideas, and initial thoughts for our big day. Based on that conversation, she curated personalized recommendations that matched our vision perfectly. As a bride who had no idea where to start, I truly couldn’t have done this without her. She provided a suggested outline and timeline, giving us a clear path to follow, which took so much of the guesswork out of the process.
On the day of the wedding, Cara and her team were simply amazing. They took care of every last detail, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day with our loved ones. By the end of the night, everything was seamlessly cleaned up without any of us or our families needing to lift a finger. If you’re looking for a wedding planner/coordinator who will be organized, deeply involved, and with you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Cara and her team enough. Let them make your special day as magical as she made ours and so many other lucky couples!

When we first started planning my daughter’s wedding we weren’t sure if we wanted a coordinator. We ended up needing a coordinator as our venue required one, we ended up choosing to work with Tiffany from Everly….. and it was the BEST decision!! Tiffany is a pro! She is incredibly efficient, calm, kind and keeps everything on track effortlessly. Hands down, she made the wedding and all that goes into it so much more enjoyable!!
I will be grateful forever that she was part of our celebration! I wholeheartedly recommend her if you are considering hiring a coordinator - She’s the Best!! You can tell she loves what she does and she will connect with you instantly!
She’s a wonderful person, we are so blessed to have met her, and to have had the privilege to work with her!

I worked with Kourtney as a coordinator for my 9/28/24 wedding in Temecula, and she was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She went above and beyond her contracted deliverables by attending in-person meetings at my venue, jumping on the phone with me at random times throughout the weeks leading up to my big day, providing expert advice, etc., and made sure the wedding day was absolutely perfect. She is attentive, organized and such a hard worker. It was truly such a pleasure working with her, and she made me feel comfortable and confident knowing my big day was going to be a success, and that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing... and as an extremely type A personality, this was really important to me. I highly recommend Kourtney for any upcoming weddings in Temecula... she is the absolute BEST!!!!

Hiring a wedding coordinator can be a big expense to take on and when I first started planning, I was hesitant to do so. From the moment we took the leap and hired Tiffany from Everly, I haven't regretted a single thing. I feel so lucky to have been paired with her. Tiffany was hired as our day of coordinator but was a helping hand through the entire process. She made everything so easy, straight forward and was a calming presence when I got stressed or frazzled. The entire year we worked with her leading up to the wedding, my mom, husband and I had a great relationship with her and after our wedding received so many compliments on how our planner kept everything running so seamlessly. Tiffany is an angel and I cannot recommend working with her enough. She is incredible!!!

We got married in September 2024 and were lucky to have been assigned Tiffany as our coordinator. She helped us pull off the wedding of our dreams! Her open communication leading up to the wedding allowed her to understand how we wanted everything to go and completely took any day-of stress off our plate. We weren’t asked a single question which let us enjoy the day and be in the moment. She even handled my mother beautifully, which is not an easy task! Our parents kept reminding us not to worry about the small stuff because nobody would notice but us, but thanks to Tiffany, every little thing went exactly as planned. Thank you Tiffany!! You helped us create a magical day to remember for the rest of our lives.

We feel so blessed and grateful to have had Lauren as our wedding planner. I truly feel like I hit the jackpot with her. She was everything and more than I could’ve ever asked for. From the very start, Lauren went above and beyond with every detail, transforming my Pinterest board dreams into a stunning reality.
Her patience with my extreme indecisiveness and all my last-minute requests was truly remarkable. Throughout the entire planning process, she was always available to help, despite the challenges of long-distance planning.
My wedding would not have been possible without Lauren. She is an extraordinary person with a kind heart and genuine passion for her work. The fact that she planned my wedding on her birthday speaks volumes about her dedication. She made us feel so special and ensured we had everything we needed.
I can’t recommend her enough—having Lauren on my team was the best decision I made. From finding the perfect vendors to managing every aspect of the day, Lauren was simply amazing. Do yourself a favor and book Lauren as your planner. You will not regret it!

Hiring the Everly & Co team specifically, Lauren our wedding planner, was hands down the best decision we could have made for our wedding day and weekend at Sands Hotel & Spa. We knew from the first conversation with Lauren she was 'the one' -- her professionalism, ability to problem solve, answer every fear/question/worry in a calm manner, collaborate with us with zero ego and navigate anything and everything we threw at her with a smile.
Throughout the process we felt taken care of. Lauren was great at checking in with us and keeping us organized all while simultaneously supporting us as we owned a lot of the initial design/curation. She was an incredible collaborator and partner in the process working with a bride like me who works as an Art Director for my day job and operates in a very Type A fashion - my biggest concern going into the wedding day was ‘will I be able to trust our vendors to execute our vision?’ And the reality? 150% yes. Not only did Lauren put us (and especially me) at ease throughout the process but on the day of, we saw the day unfold more seamlessly than we could have ever dreamed.
Lauren remained calm, cool and collected with day of questions and she and her assistant brought our vision from every detail big and small, to life.
Our wedding day is a testament to the Everly & Co team in helping things run smoothly, maintaining harmony with all vendors and ensuring we were taken care of every step of the way. We will miss our time spent planning, dreaming, scheming and executing with Lauren.

I seriously can’t say enough wonderful things about Cara and her team! We had an incredible experience while planning our wedding. Cara was dedicated to making our dream day a reality.
Cara is not only highly organized but also incredibly creative. She curated a great plan for attaining rentals and connected us with amazing vendors who truly helped create the best day. Every detail was meticulously planned and allowed us to relax and enjoy it.
Cara truly has a passion for what she does and helped us achieve any of our ideas along the way. She and her team did a wonderful job on the big day and was reassuring and calm. We could focus on enjoying the day, our guests, and knew that everything was in capable hands.
Thanks to Cara and her team our wedding day exceeded all our expectations. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful everything was, and we couldn’t have done it without her guidance. We are forever grateful for her hard work and creativity, and we highly recommend her to anyone planning their special day! -Rebekah and Alek Hedlund

I was a bit apprehensive about booking a wedding planner because I wasn't sure if I needed the help... I truly cannot imagine getting married without Everly & Co. I had the privilege of receiving Melissa Gagne as my wedding planner. Without Melissa, our wedding would not have been what it was. Melissa, went above and beyond from the moment we had our first phone call. She cares so much about her couples and does anything possible to make their vision a reality. Anytime I was stressed or worried throughout the process, she was there to problem solve and ease my mind! Fast forward to the day of and she put on the most stunning wedding. Without Melissa, I would have been running around crazy trying to get everything done & it wouldn't have looked half as beautiful. I am so beyond grateful for Melissa and Everly and Co. I could not imagine my day without them. If you are unsure about who to book for your wedding planners, you NEED to book Everly. You will not regret it.

We absolutely loved working with Melissa at Everly. Planning a wedding 500 miles away from home is not simple, but Melissa was super supportive, communicative and professional and ensured everything went smoothly. My family diy’s everything (which is probably a coordinators worst nightmare lol), and Melissa was happy to work with us to make sure that everything we brought was set up exactly how we wanted (including our cookie table which needed over 500 cookies set out).
During the day of my wedding, the coordinators made sure that I didn’t worry about a single thing and kept me focused on being present in the moment. They brought us drinks when ours were empty, they brought us snacks while we were taking pictures, and did literally anything we needed them to. It was such a relief having their team there ALL DAY.
I can’t say enough thanks for everything they did to make our wedding day a dream come true!

I truly believe choosing Lakelin as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our special day. From the moment we started working together, she became more than just a planner – she was a friend, a confidante, and an absolute lifesaver.
Lakelin's experience and wisdom shone through in every aspect of the planning process. She guided us through countless decisions with patience and insight, always offering creative solutions and valuable advice to the MILLIONS of questions I had. Her sweet nature and great sense of humor made what could have been a stressful journey into an incredibly fun and enjoyable experience.
As a full time mom, fiancé, and employee, it can feel impossible to remember all the things you need to get done; and time FLIES when you’re wedding planning. One of Lakelin's greatest strengths was her ability to keep me on track. With her meticulous to-do lists and gentle reminders, I never felt overwhelmed or behind schedule. She made the entire process feel effortless on my part, taking care of countless details behind the scenes so all I had to do was share which of the options were my favorite! Especially for my destination brides, where you have to bring everything with you if you’re not renting some of the small decor things. She made sure we had everything organized and prepared.
On the big day itself, Lakelin was nothing short of miraculous. It seems like the one thing everyone asks me afterwards is if I was stressed, and I can genuinely say not at all – all thanks to her. She handled everything with grace and efficiency, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy of the moment and be present with my new husband and loved ones. Multiple guests have since told me they’ve never been to a wedding that was not only absolutely beautiful, but so efficient and smooth.
Lakelin isn't just a wedding planner; she's a dream-weaver, a stress-alleviator, and a true friend. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose her in a heartbeat. To any couple considering Lakelin for their wedding: trust me, you will love her!!! She'll make your special day absolutely perfect, just like she did for us.

Melissa and The Everly & Co team are everything you need in a wedding / event planner and coordinator! Melissa was always available whenever we had a question or concern. Our wedding day was perfect. As with all weddings and events there were some hiccups behind the scenes that Melissa and her team expertly handled without us even knowing. To us, that is everything you look for in a planner & coordinator. We can’t recommend Melissa & Everly enough.

Katlin was my full-time wedding planner for my wedding on July 13, 2024 at South Coast Winery and let me just tell you - SHE IS THE BEST. I had no idea what I was getting myself into with wedding planning, and Katlin made every aspect absolutely seamless, stress free, and fun! She does everything with a smile on her face, and never made me feel like I was bothering her with too many questions. She is so knowledgeable about everything and always gave amazing advice. On the day of, Katlin handled everything with ease and I was never stressed. If little things came up, she handled it without ever bothering me with it. I had so many compliments from wedding guests saying how amazing she was. I am so so grateful that Katlin was my wedding planner, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding planner in the area!! Thank you Katlin for helping us with the biggest and best day of our lives!!

When it comes to planning the wedding of your dreams, Whitney from Everly & Co is nothing short of a miracle worker. My partner and I had a vision for our special day, and Whitney not only brought that vision to life but exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very first meeting, it was clear that Whitney is a true professional who is passionate about what she does. She took the time to understand our personalities, preferences, and the little details that mattered most to us. Her ability to listen carefully and then translate our ideas into a beautifully orchestrated event was incredible.
Whitney's attention to detail is unparalleled. She left no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding, from the venue setup to the floral arrangements, was absolutely perfect. Her creative ideas and thoughtful touches added so much charm and uniqueness to our day. It felt like a celebration that was tailor-made just for us.
What truly sets Whitney apart is her calm and reassuring presence. Weddings can be stressful, but Whitney handled everything with grace and poise, making the entire process feel effortless. She managed timelines, coordinated vendors, and kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry.
Thanks to Whitney and the team at Everly & Co, our wedding was not only the best day of our lives but also a day that our guests are still raving about. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebration, and it’s all thanks to Whitney's dedication, expertise, and genuine care for her clients.
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, look no further than Whitney from Everly & Co. She is simply the best in the business, and we are forever grateful to her for making our wedding dreams come true.

Melissa was absolutely AMAZING to work with. From the very beginning, I felt like she truly understood my vision and helped all the pieces come to life. As a Type A Bride, I never expected to walk into my wedding day and not stress about all the details but she made that possible!! Everything went smoothly and we were able to just take in the day and all the little moments knowing that Melissa and her team were behind the scenes running the show! Melissa, thank you SO much for making our wedding day perfect. We will always think back to that day and the memories you helped us create forever!! Love, the Holtcamps!

Tiffany was the wedding planner of our dreams!!! We had our wedding at Callaway Winery in Temecula which included an all-inclusive vendor package. We could not be more thankful they paired us with Tiffany and Kourtney from Every and Co. to do our wedding planning and day of coordination!
Tiffany was communicative from the start! She planned and executed the perfect timeline which allowed for all the extra ideas we had. Provided us with everything we needed so that she and Kourtney could execute all of our the details on the day of. She even helped us book a tent the day before the wedding when we realized rain was in the forecast.
I could not recommend the team at Everly + Co enough! They have a professional team that will ease all of your stress for your entire wedding weekend. Hire them if you want a kind, organized, and relatable team to bring your big day to life! We can not thank them enough for all of their efforts!

Everly & Co exceeded all my expectations! Cara, my wedding planner, and her team were incredible throughout the entire planning process! They were always just a text or call away, ready to answer questions and provide design assistance. On the wedding day, everything went perfectly!!! Cara and her team brought my dream wedding to life. I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of besides getting ready because I knew they would be able to handle anything!! (I’m a big planner/organizer so this is huge for me)
The vendors they recommended were also fantastic, and everyone I talked to and worked with had such great things to say about Cara!
I HIGHLY recommend Everly & Co!!

Caitlin was an absolute dream to work with! From the very first steps of planning to the actual day, my husband and I were always confident that she was following our vision and ensuring everything would be handled. She made great recommendations for vendors and was always there to answer any questions we had throughout the process. We feel so grateful that we had her as our planner. We truly couldn’t have done it without her! It’s crazy how much goes into planning a wedding, but I was never stressed because we had Caitlin. She was always calm, organized, focused, and genuinely happy for us. She feels like more than just our wedding planner, she feels like a true friend. We have so many incredible memories of that day. Thank you so much Caitlin and thank you Everly! 💕

Caitlin and her team at Everly were nothing short of amazing. We hired on Caitlin as a design and day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond! We were taken care of from day one (which was a whole year before wedding day), any questions we had she answered without judgement and helped us stay within budget. She was available at anytime to help and was flexible with our weird working hours. She coordinated other vendors, including doing the initial quote requests, and was able to keep everything so organized. On the day of her and her assistants were absolutely amazing. Karly was my own personal assistant in the getting-ready room and was SO helpful. By mid-day I could just look to her and she knew what I needed and helped me when things were moving along beautifully. I have to also mention Caitlin's amazing advocacy. When we were worried a request with our venue wasn't going to go our way (and it was a big request that we had been asking for from the start), Caitlin stepped in on our behalf and fought for us so we wouldn't have to worry about it. We are so grateful for everything they did and they are worth their weight in GOLD. Thank you so much Caitlin!

I recently got married in July of 2024 and Lauren was an absolute godsend! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were exactly the support I needed throughout the entire wedding process, especially during unexpected hiccups. Lauren helped craft design elements that truly brought my vision to life. She was always available to answer my questions and communicated with such clarity and care.
I cannot imagine having gone through this journey without her by my side. People always say things won't go as planned on your wedding day, and while that may hold some truth, I was incredibly blessed to have Lauren from this amazing team handle everything seamlessly. Her expertise and knowledge are nothing short of outstanding. If you're considering hiring a wedding planner, I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren. She made my wedding dreams come true, and I would choose her again a thousand times over.

My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Cara Goset at Everly and Company for our wedding in May 2024. From our first phone call, Cara helped set expectations, provided clear guidance and communication, and helped us make our vision come to life. She recommended the most amazing vendors to create such a power team. She was always ready to answer every question we had, and provided so much positive reassurance throughout our whole planning period. On the actual wedding day, there was NO ONE I would've rather had there making sure the day was perfect. I felt like I could truly let go and enjoy while Cara and the team handled every detail. I am so thankful for all she did and would highly, highly recommend Everly for anyone looking to plan their wedding in the east TN area!

I was somehow lucky enough to be assigned Melissa Gagne as a wedding planner. From start to finish she was extremely helpful and truly went above and beyond. She took all of my thoughts and reference photos and helped create the wedding of our dreams, plus more than we expected. I would highly recommend her to any friends or family members getting married. 10/10 experience!

I can’t imagine planning my wedding without Lauren! We planned a destination wedding which comes with its challenges of not being able to be there in person, but Lauren made the process so easy. I was not once stressed out during the year planning process, except for the day before our wedding when weather moved our reception inside. Lauren kept me calm and took the reins to figure out an option B. On the day of the wedding, Lauren helped everything run smoothly and if something went wrong, I had no idea and still wouldn’t know! Lauren is amazing at what she does and I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for an enjoyable wedding planning experience!!

Let me start by saying I am a super type A, anxious person, so you can only imagine how wedding planning felt. Caitlin R was my saving grace- she put me at ease the entire process and made everything feel really easy and pleasant. Anytime I felt like I was overthinking something, she was there to help and so accommodating and quick to respond. Our wedding was perfect and she is to thank for that!
