Hi there! I am Annette - the creater of Luxe Events NC. I moved to Wilmington, NC 12 years ago from Florida. I have always lived by the beach and LOVE it! I have been in the wedding industry for 6 years. My favorite part of this industry is expereincing the different styles of each couple and bringing their dreams to reality. When I am not working a wedding I am usually at the beach with my pup, traveling, and brunching it! I love breweries - so let's chat about your big day with a craft beer.

Annette with Luxe Events was our wedding coordinator, and went above and beyond for our wedding back in October of 2023. She was easy to talk to, you could reach out at all hours and get a response, so enthusiastic, and made our special day a breeze. I threw boxes of decor at her and she did an amazing job setting up with barely any instructions from me (bride). If you want someone who is fun, loves what she does, and takes care of her clients like she’s your best friend, call Annette!! You will not be disappointed!! I wish I could get married again so I could use her services! Highly recommend!!!!

We unfortunately did not have the best experience and it came to light on wedding day. It was hard to get in reach with her when we were supposed to start our 2 week check in. We were rushed through rehearsal the day before. She had told one groomsmen to hurry up on wedding day when seating his date. We had confetti flowers for our guests to throw when walking back down the aisle, bubble wands for our guests to have when leaving the venue, and neither were handed out after being assured they would. Some decor we went over was not set up. Our seating chart was not carried out as it should’ve been, and ended up placing one of the moms in the corner of the room which visibly upset her.
Our handmade newspapers we made for guests were taken off their dinner tables from them so we have to mail them to our family now because theirs went missing. Our vendors did not receive their envelopes day-of as asked. We were reassured (and double checked) that she’d be the one to pack our car with our decor upon cleanup at the venue… turns out our family members and groomsmen had to stay behind and packed everything into the car for us while she left before everyone. Those belongings that were packed into the bins were not covered and had broken from not being wrapped in what we had provided, so we have to replace them due to broken glass. Our initial phone call went great and we were so excited but the second one, we felt judged by decisions we made for our wedding and our timeline. We had hired her as a day-of coordinator and had planned every detail up until our wedding day, we just needed someone to carry out our vision to put the decor in the right spots and make sure we were on time with everything. We expected 100% focus on wedding day to help us and were upset to find out how everyone had noticed

Hi Dasia,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear t...
hat your experience did not meet your expectations, especially on such an important day. While I respect your perspective, I do want to take a moment to clarify a number of inaccuracies in your review, as they do not reflect what occurred.
First, I’d like to address the issue of vendor envelopes and decor setup. The envelopes were indeed handed out on the day of the wedding, and every piece of decor you provided — including the additional greenery dropped off on the morning of the wedding — was used and placed according to the plan we discussed. The handmade newspapers were also displayed on the welcome table and handed to guests prior to the ceremony, per our agreed timeline. The leftover copies were placed with your items after the event.
Regarding seating, I followed the exact floor plan you approved, which specified where each guest — including both moms — was to be seated. If there was a change in preference, I was not made aware of it in advance.
Your rehearsal was conducted thoroughly, and we used the entire hour allotted by the venue, running through the process five full times to ensure everyone was comfortable. On the wedding day itself, I was present for 14 hours, coordinating all vendor arrivals, handling logistics, managing the timeline, and ensuring your day went as smoothly as possible. I also packed your decor and loaded it into your car as promised — though a few of your guests kindly offered to assist, which I appreciated. It’s also important to note that some items arrived already broken or without protective wrapping, and I did my best to handle them with care regardless.
As for communication, I reached out multiple times to set up your check-in and timeline discussions. As this was a day-of coordination package, we worked within the appropriate scope, and I made myself as available as possible given the level of service selected.
While I understand the day may not have felt perfect from your perspective, I take pride in the effort, attention, and care I provided throughout your wedding day. I’m always open to constructive feedback and genuinely wish you both nothing but happiness in your marriage.
Warmly,
Annette

We could not have asked for a better coordinator! Annette was professional, reliable, honest, and responsive. Annette was available for advice and any questions we had throughout our planning. Her attitude throughout the entire process gave us confidence and settled any nerves we had, and we were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day knowing that she had everything under control. We are so grateful to have had Annette and 100% recommend working with Luxe Events!

I initially thought I could handle everything on my own, but I was absolutely wrong. Annette was the wedding coordinator I didn’t know I desperately needed. She thought of every detail, things that never even crossed my mind, and made the entire planning process so much smoother and more enjoyable.
From start to finish, Annette was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive, always professional, and her creativity was beyond anything I could have imagined. Her eye for detail ensured that every aspect of my wedding was not only executed flawlessly but also elevated to a level I couldn’t have dreamed of. She truly brought my vision to life, only better! Annette didn’t just plan my wedding; she curated an experience. Her upbeat personality made the process so much fun, and her calm, confident demeanor on the wedding day kept everything running smoothly, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy every moment. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, don’t hesitate,
Annette is worth every penny and more. I can’t recommend her enough! If you are in the Wilmington area, book her for your special day!

I am beyond thankful I found Annette!!!
Our wedding day was seamless and smooth thanks to her! There were different tasks that I thought I would have to finish day of and by the time I remembered them she had already done them for me! We had to change some timeline things on the fly as well and she was beyond exceptional at handling anything that came her way! So grateful we chose her and her team to help our dream day come to life!

I can not say enough about Annette and Luxe Events. We hired her as our day of coordinator and couldn’t have accomplished our vision without her. From day one, she made me feel like the only bride on earth. In the chaos of wedding planning crazinesses Annette look was always there to “talk me off the ledge” and assure me that everything would be beautiful, and that it was. I purchased random things here and there over a years time, and she made it look like it was all meant to be together and it was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend her enough.

Annette killed it! The entire day went smoothly even though I had an untraditional, unexpected weather, and chaotic “venue” that wasn’t really a venue thanks to her hard work. I am so appreciative of her and would recommend to anyone! Book her!

Annette is very organized and fun to work with. She gave us some great ideas that I had not thought about. She set timelines for us and coordinated all of the vendors so that everything was in place to have a worry free day. My daughter’s wedding day was everything that she wanted!

We used Luxe Events to help coordinate our wedding. Annette was a joy to work with; she was the calm in the storm of my stressed out bride mind and came with a game plan that made me feel so much better about our big day! Her day- of organization was great. If there were hiccups in any way they were handled quickly and efficiently by her so that we could enjoy our big day. Would highly recommend Luxe Events for any event planning needs!
