Premier Party Planners

ays willing to chat whenever we needed her and was so great at communicating with us throughout the entire process. She truly made everything feel easy and stress-free! Tara is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and just the BEST all around. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for the perfect wedding planner!! 🤗💓

organized and handled every detail big and small with grace and a smile. We highly recommend Tara for your next event!! 

y understood our style, priorities, and overall vibe. I trusted her opinions because I knew they would always be aligned with what we wanted. She also had such a good sense of where it was worth investing for quality without ever pushing us to go overboard. One thing everyone told me before the wedding was, "If something goes wrong, no one will notice." But honestly, I wasn't even worried because I knew that if anything did go wrong, Tara would handle it before I ever knew about it. She's also the perfect mix of warm and kind with her couples, but confident and firm when she needs to be. She handled vendors, family dynamics, and every little detail so seamlessly. On top of that, she was incredibly accommodating with my schedule. I was working crazy hours leading up to the wedding, and she was always willing to take an after-work or late-night call whenever I needed to talk something through. I'm a very Type A person, but somehow I got to be a totally Type B bride on my wedding day because I knew I was in such good hands. Looking back, hiring Tara was one of the best decisions we made, and we genuinely can't imagine having anyone else by our side!

ability to make a high-stakes event day feel incredibly smooth and stress-free. Tara is deeply organized and knows exactly what is happening and when. If a sudden change arises, she adapts immediately and is incredibly quick to communicate updates so the entire vendor team is perfectly in the loop. Best of all, working alongside her is just fun. She brings such a warm, friendly vibe to the table. If you’re planning an event, you need Tara on your team. She will advocate for you from day one to the very end.

was hesitant at first to work with a coordinator, I was blown away by the care and organization Tara brought to our day. From making sure the timing of my entrance stayed on track to sending all of the encouraging last-minute texts when we thought it would pour, she truly made everything flow seamlessly and put me at ease. I’m an extremely type-A person and not one to easily give up control, but Tara made me feel more than comfortable doing just that and trusting her to make our day run so perfectly. Again, I can’t find enough words to say about Tara or Premier Party Planners, but I wanted to at least try. We truly cannot thank you all enough!!

keeping everything on track, she made the entire day feel seamless and as stress-free as possible. Although Tara had limited experience with Indian-Catholic weddings, she gave us complete confidence from our very first consultation that she would handle everything with care and dedication. As detail-oriented (and admittedly Type-A) as we are, she still managed to highlight important elements we hadn’t considered, and her experience really shone through. On the day itself, Tara and her team were by our side for over 16 hours, even going the extra mile to grab energy drinks for the wedding party before the reception. Thank you, Tara, for keeping everything running so smoothly! ❤️

nized, professional, and incredibly thoughtful - handling every little detail behind the scenes so we could be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding. If you're on the fence about hiring a coordinator - DO IT. And if you can get Nicole, even better. She was an absolute blast to work with, and helped make our day as stress-free and magical as we had hoped.

ark on wedding day. Her & her team (Elizabeth & Ava, also amazing) at Premier Party Planners made sure our wedding weekend ran so smoothly, & all while smiling & being so warm & kind. Coming from a type-A-control-freak-bride, I am SO thankful that I didn’t have to lift a finger day-of, & I was able to relax & truly enjoy our wedding day, with full confidence knowing Nicole was running the show. If you’re reading this & debating whether a planner or coordinator is worth it, or whether PPP is the right team for you, do it!! You’ve come to the right place. Worth every penny (& much, much more) to have Nicole & PPP on board your wedding vendor team! Being able to fully enjoy my wedding day while someone else handles it all was absolutely PRICELESS. 

anged that. I made an account on theknot, and Wedding Wire purely to leave them reviews. They were unbelievably helpful on this. We would not have had a wedding without starting with Premier Party Planners. My wife and I knew that we wanted a wedding planner and we couldn't have made a better choice then Premier.

ess. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, and our wedding truly couldn’t have been more perfect! I highly recommend trusting her expertise—she’ll help you build the perfect team to bring your vision to life. On the wedding day, Tara was on top of every detail. She kept everything running smoothly and right on schedule, and even saved the day with her “day-of” kit when I had a small wardrobe malfunction. She really listened to what we wanted and made sure every detail reflected our vision. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out, and so much of that is thanks to Tara. We’re beyond grateful to have had her by our side throughout the process!

ara was an absolute delight to work with. From day one, she was on it. No stone was left unturned - if there was a detail, she knew it. It was also such a help to have her there for various vendor meetings. She did a great job of steering us in the right direction and making sure that the choices we made would really have an impact on the guests experience on the big day versus doing something to do it. Even my parents and bridal party and other guests complimented how well she ran the day for us. I’ve told my now-husband repeatedly how sad I was for the day to end because it meant our time with Tara was coming to an end too. She truly was our rock over the last few months and we are so grateful for all she did to make our day go so smoothly. We really got to be guests at our own wedding thanks to her hard work. Everyone needs a Tara when planning their wedding!

le worry. Her support, organization, and calming presence is unmatched. If you want to have a no-stress wedding planning and wedding day experience, I highly recommend Nicole as your planner. Thank you so much Nicole for making it a day I will never forget!

c to the venue that felt extra tricky. Immediately upon meeting with Tara for the first time, I felt so at ease and I knew she was the perfect person to choose to help us plan our day. To say Tara is good at her job would be the understatement of the century. Her attention to detail, kindness, organization, and experience are out of this world!!!! Tara was my lifeline in the planning process - She pointed us in the direction of almost every one of our vendors, and they were all FANTASTIC. I made a joke at one point that every time we added a vendor, they would complement how great Tara and all the other vendors were and I felt like I was assembling the wedding day Avengers! She checked in consistently with me and with vendors behind the scenes, she had incredibly detailed resources for alllll of our questions, she worked with us on a precise day-of timeline and organized all of the vendors flawlessly. She turned what could have been an insanely overwhelming year of planning into a process where we could trust that our day would be everything we envisioned. Not only that, but she orchestrated a day that was so perfect I don't even have the words to describe it. On the day of the wedding, she was a force to be reckoned with!!!! She managed everything calmly and swiftly. She came to check on me and my bridesmaids while we were getting ready, and made sure any last-second additions and details were set. When I saw her face, I could have cried... Seeing her grounded me in the fact the details of our day were in the best possible hands. At the venue, she was seemingly waiting in the shadows to anticipate our smallest needs while also fielding questions and set-up needs of all vendors and miscellaneous items from our families. Every time I saw her she had a smile on her face, but she was also undoubtedly down to business... She even plopped down on the ground, took off my heels, and put socks and sneakers on me after the ceremony when I complained (out of earshot from her, mind you) that my feet were hurting. I love Tara from the bottom of my heart, and will shout her praises from the rooftops every chance I get!!! We are so beyond grateful for every little careful detail that she contributed to our planning process and to our day. Friends, family, and other vendors even stopped us throughout the process to shoutout how incredible of a coordinator she was. If you're looking for a day-of coordinator, look no further! Tara is the girl for the job.

work was absolutely invaluable. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our wedding weekend, knowing that Nicole and her team had all of the logistics and details under control. She managed a few last minute challenges with ease and we did not feel an ounce of stress during the wedding. From the very beginning, Nicole made it possible for us to plan our wedding in a way that was both organized and enjoyable, despite limited time and living in another city. We are very thankful that we found her and would highly recommend her and her team to anyone getting married in the area!

nd she very quickly showed me that I could trust her, which impressed me because I don't easily trust others with planning. I could not recommend her more highly.

as our Day of Coordinator where she came on about 6-8 weeks out from our wedding day and took over all communication with vendors and venues. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and my favorite part, gave her expert opinion when asked instead of always responding with "whatever you want". I really appreciated having an expert who would tell me whether she thought an idea or extra cost would really be worth it in the end. Summer and her assistant helped in the setup and breakdown at all of our venues throughout the night which allowed my husband and I and our families to relax and truly enjoy the evening. There were so many things I didn't know that I didn't know until I started working with Summer. She saved us from countless issues with her detailed questions and timelines. I'm not sure how I thought I could get married without a coordinator, but I learned quickly during our first meeting that I never would have been able to do it without the support of Summer. Couldn't recommend Premier Party Planners enough! - Kirby (bride)

ter's wedding. Tara was a calming force in the midst of all things wedding chaos. She was THE MOST organized person I've ever worked with. Tara kept us on a very updated timeline and never let one thing slip. She was with us for almost a year and never failed to check in and update everything as needed. She knows and recommends the BEST vendors. Each one was better and more professional than the next. As the wedding date grew closer and the chaos heightened, we were always calmed by Tara. There was NEVER even one unanswered call or email. If you are looking for someone to take the reins, someone who has superior attention to detail, someone who is reliable and dependable and has an innate ability to take your ideas and turn them into a real vision; then take that vision and create a magical wedding, Tara is your woman! If I could give her 100 stars I would

ier. From the moment we met with her until the moment we drove away from our reception, Nicole made sure that our wedding day was the best day of our lives. She helped us find all of our amazing vendors and coordinated everything with them so I was not getting bombarded with phone calls and emails. She attended every meeting and helped me answer questions when I got overwhelmed. And thanks to Nicole, I was able to truly enjoy my wedding day because she set everything up and made sure anything that needed to be done was done, including getting our things together to go to the hotel with us at the end of the night. Our wedding was seamless thanks to her. At the beginning of this process, I wasn't sure if hiring a wedding planner was a good idea. But now, I can honestly say that if I had to go back at do it 100 times, I would hire Nicole every single time. She's professional, personable, and it's obvious how much she loves her job. If you're in the Raleigh area and need a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Premier!

helped take care of my SIL’s 2 year old during our ceremony so she didn’t need to miss any part of it. She set up all my decor beautifully and managed all the logistics perfectly for the whole day! I hired Premier Party Planners as my day of coordinators because I wanted to plan the wedding myself and have someone experienced manage the event so I wouldn’t have to day of. Summer started 60 days before the big day and took over managing vendors and facilitating the logistics. She attended vendor meeting with me, came up with our timeline, created a schedule for the wedding party, helped plan our welcome and after parties, and packed everything up for us at the end of the night. I did not have to worry or do anything on my wedding day except enjoy the day!! My other favorite part of hiring the team is that they have an inventory of rentals you can borrow! I saved a ton of money by borrowing my table numbers, ring bearer pillow, Polaroid camera, easels, frames, card box, cake stand, and more. I highly recommend Premier Party Planners and especially Summer!!

easy, covering the many, many details necessary to make the ceremony run flawlessly. I would highly recommend Tara and Premeir Party Planners.

th the couple and the vendor team made Kristin & Brian’s wedding day a truly seamless and beautiful experience. From the moment they came onboard, they were organized, proactive, and always available to answer questions or address any concerns. They ensured that every detail was meticulously planned and executed, creating a stress-free environment for everyone involved. The day flowed perfectly, thanks to their thoughtful coordination and expertise. What really sets Premier Party Planners apart is their collaborative spirit and ability to make every vendor feel like a valued part of the team. They truly understand the importance of working together to create a magical day for the couple, and it shows in every aspect of their work. I highly recommend their services to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make their day unforgettable. It was a joy to work with them and we will definitely have them on our Preferred Vendors' list. Clay and I look forward to future collaborations! Photos by Clay Team

tions we had. We truly would not have been able to have as enjoyable a wedding day as we did without her!

or my wedding she came highly recommended by my venue and I understood why immediately. I hired her for full service wedding planning and she was there for ever step of the process and made it so easy and stress free. On the actual day of the wedding, I had zero stress because I knew she had taken care of everything and I got to just enjoy my day and not worry over any of the details with vendors or anything like that! Nicole is also just remarkably sweet and such a wonderful person to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and cannot say enough great things about how excellent her wedding planning skills are! She is the absolute best!

organized, communicative, and very professional. They were also available for questions and advice. This was our 4th wedding for our 4 kids, and PPP did the last two! From the time we found them, we definitely wouldn't use anyone else!!

d excited. I was truly blown away after sitting down to talk through our special day with Nicole. She is beyond knowledgable in all aspects of weddings. From beginning to end she helped make the stressful process a breeze. I will never forget going to our rental appointment with my Mom feeling so overwhelmed at what needed to be done. Nicole kindly volunteered to come with us and helped SO much throughout the process. She thought of things that never would have crossed my mind. During the wedding day, she was everything we could have asked for and more. She is kind, confident, and prepared. Even with impending rain, she helped us to make all of our ceremony dreams come true (as well as helped pin up a broken dress). She was so kind to our family and helped wherever needed. There are nowhere near enough kind words to say and we will be forever grateful to her and Premier for everything that was done to make our day the best day possible!

ands. Tara is extra detail-oriented and phenomenally prepared. She keeps the day moving like clockwork because she's always prepping for what's next. We also appreciated her guidance regarding vendors throughout the process! And vendors really seem to love working with her on wedding day, we heard rave reviews every time someone found out we were working with her. Plus, Premier has an awesome supply of decor and other items you can use on the big day to avoid some of those one-use purchases (we used things like the arbor, cake stand, cutting utensils, card box, etc). We're grateful we went with Premier!

e our wedding without her. She is so organized from day one of planning all the way through the day of. As the bride, I was able to rely on Tara for all the details to ensure the planning process went smoothly and I didn't have to overstress about the little things. Tara listened to all our ideas and helped us select vendors that aligned to our vision and stayed within our budget - that was a huge plus for my husband! On our wedding day everything went smoothly to my knowledge because Tara was the point person for everyone. We told anyone who would listen to us that Tara is the reason we had the BEST DAY EVER! Thank you so much for everything you did for us Tara and the full Premier Party Planners staff!

rdination package, Tara was a resource throughout the entire wedding planning process. She and her team have so many resources and it made the process so smooth. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and stress free thanks to Tara and her team. We highly recommend Tara and the premier team for anyone looking for wedding planners! They are the best!

y and throughout the process. We were paired with Elizabeth, who was the kindest, most organized person on the planet. She had great open communication throughout the entire planning process and really stepped in to save the day multiple times the month of. If anything went wrong on the day of, I wouldn’t have known because Elizabeth was so on top of everything. As someone who is not in the event planning industry, it is vital to have someone looking out for you in the way a planner can. Elizabeth saved me from almost making a very costly mistake and jumped in so quickly to help me resolve the issue right away! She not only made sure we were well taken care of on the day of but also always knew where to go and what was next. I had many guests tell me it was the most organized and seamless wedding they had attended, and that is really attributed to our fantastic planner. Not only was she professional and great to work with, but she is genuinely a kind person and fun to chat with. The Premier Party Planning team made us feel so special on our wedding day, and we look back with such fond memories of how amazing our vendor team was. I would recommend their services to my closest friends and family and cannot express my gratitude enough for this amazing team!

d Tara is fantastic! You can never underestimate the importance of an expert planner and what they add to your celebration. Tara exhibits utmost professional, attention to detail, creativity and problem-solving skills. She works well with every vendor and has a wonderful personality. I look forward to working with her again! She has my highest recommendation.

we had everything we needed and communicated great with everyone. She was so kind and cared about making our day exactly how we wanted it to be! We cannot recommend her enough.

organized and on top of everything which made me feel confident going into our special day. Look no further for your wedding planner/coordinator!

s, last minute details she made seamless. I would call Tara all stressed, about to be in tears and by the end of our phone call all problems were resolved because she found every solution. We are Greek Orthodox so that can be intimidating for most; not for Tara, she was so prepared, knew every tradition; some better than myself. She HANDMADE my seating chart cards, name another planner who would go to that level. I promise you wont. I was having a really hard time with my venue and Tara came in and made sure every single detail was executed to perfection. She stood up for me when I was overwhelmed and didnt know what to say. Her dynamic ability made it so I had 0 stress the day of my wedding. I also really loved all the connections Premier Party Planners provided. Tara made our wedding the best it could be. I am forever grateful for you. You have set the standard for wedding planning and when I have another event or one of my friends gets engaged you will be the first person I call.

your next event, I'd love to work with them again in the future! Thank you! Chris Penick Carolina DJ Service Call/Text: 919-495-9255 Email: chris@carolinadjservice.com Instagram: @carolinadjservice Facebook: @carolinadjservice
