Carolina Love Events

Nikki and her entire team at Carolina Love Events truly made our wedding day perfect. We hired them before we even found our venue as a full-service planner. Nikki helped us find a venue that we never would have known about ourselves that was a perfect fit. She was so organized and on top of every little detail. There were so many details I never would have thought of that Nikki and her team made sure we had figured out. I cannot recommend them enough! I genuinely had a no-stress wedding planning experience of them and I was really able to enjoy the experience!

Carolina Love Events was amazing! We used them for our May 3rd wedding as our day-of coordinators and they knocked it out of the park! So many things came up on the wedding day (including rain for our outdoor ceremony) and Carolina Love Events handled with all of the hurdles with ease. They also did such an amazing job of keeping me calm on the wedding day, and leading up to it. Thank you!

They were an amazing team to work with - excellent attention to detail and so supportive on the day of! The entire process was smooth and well-planned. We were so grateful for their whole team. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Carolina Love Events was just amazing! They were so kind and knowledgeable and as an out of state couple, we appreciated how well acquainted they were with vendors in the area. Their recommendations helped us make the best decisions and their oversight made our day perfect. We especially loved the connection to Homewood and Caroline Allured Catering. Our day of planner Kristy was so kind and accommodating. She immediately made me feel comfortable with her kind and personable nature. She created the perfect balance of making sure I had control of important decisions and taking initiative to execute them herself perfectly. I can’t imagine our wedding day without the guidance of Kristy and the Carolina Love Events Team.

The best company to work with. They were professional and made sure to check in on my progress regularly. They offered a lot of suggestions for florists, phot booth options etc. I absolutely loved my day of coordinator Deborah! She stayed on top of everything!

They are amazing! We are from out of state and weren’t familiar with any local vendors, Nikki was able to recommend the best people for our wedding. They are very thorough and calm in dealing with crises. We definitely recommend using Carolina Love Events!

Nikki made everything about our destination wedding easy, fun, and drama-free. We had the BEST day and remember all the details with joy (rather than being so rushed and frenzied that we don't remember the day at all like many people describe!). Highly recommend!!

We had our wedding at Homewood in September of 2023. Nikki and her team at Carolina Love Events were great. Very professional and friendly - made the whole process seamless. Nikki was incredibly detail oriented and helped guide us throughout what could be an overwhelming process. I would definitely recommend this team for your big day

Nikki and her team do a fantastic job! We used them for full service planning and they made our wedding planning a breeze! Would definitely recommend them!

We needed help planning a micro wedding in Asheville - we tried to do it on our own, but we are from out of town and got overwhelmed with all the different possibilities. Carolina Love Events helped us narrow down what we wanted and get everything in order! Our wedding day was a breeze and truly so enjoyable thanks to CLE's organization. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Nikki and her team at CLE were incredible, 10/10 recommend! Nikki helped us create and implement our dream camp wedding, and it was perfect. She helped connect us with vendors, was present during phone calls, and was amazing the weekend of. I don't know what we would have done without her and her team, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work together!

Everyone we dealt with at CLE was wonderful!! We planned our wedding from out of state and with both of our busy work schedules we were not able to get down there but a couple of times before our wedding. Our questions were always answered completely and timely, the assistance prior to our wedding, and on the day of was absolutely amazing. Everything fell together perfectly, and I could not say enough about how happy we were. Our wedding was wonderful and CLE took much of the stress and worry off of us. VERY glad we had them!!!

We had a great experience with Carolina Love Events for our Sept 2022 wedding. They were very organized and extremely responsive leading up to the wedding which took a lot of the stress off of us. We worked mostly with Nikki initially, then Debora leading up to the wedding, and Kristy was our day-of coordinator. All were wonderful but Kristy did an amazing job on our actual wedding day. She made everything run smoothly and was very attentive to my husband and I, even saving us appetizers from cocktail hour and offering to get us drinks throughout the night. Our experience was wonderful and I'd highly recommend CLE for your wedding!

We were required by our venue to book Carolina Love Events as our wedding planner. Definitely glad we booked a wedding planner! We did the cheapest "day-of-coordination" package and they made the day of our wedding go so smoothly--we didn't have to worry about anything. They also helped keep us organized during the planning process--would have been really difficult to do without some gentle guidance. My only complaint is that we had a very uncomfortable "30-days-out" planning call with the owner Nikki. It felt like we were being drilled by a drill sergeant on the details of our wedding, and made to feel like we were stupid for not having answers to some of her questions (no I didn't know I needed to decide what two witnesses were signing my marriage license 30 days out, for example). My fiance and I both felt very discouraged and put off after the call. To be fair, we did plan our wedding on a short timeline (5 months) so were a bit behind in the planning process--but I felt the bedside manner of a wedding planner should be more encouraging and understanding.

I wish I could give a billion stars ! Debora was fantastic from start to finish . Her personality alone was so sweet and so easy to get along with I knew from the beginning she would be amazing ! She never made me feel like I was asking to many questions or being a burden . I couldn’t have had the best day of my life without her help . Deboras communication was top tier and she had the best advice and recommendations . I am forever grateful for her and Carolina love events .

The whole team at Carolina Love Events was so helpful when planning our wedding. We used the day-of coordination package (which was required by our venue), but they went way above and beyond day-of coordination. We met with them multiple times, they kept us on track with timeline, they sent us recommendations for vendors, we used their discount codes for Minted and Generation Tux, and - most importantly - they made sure everything ran smoothly on the actual day. They're very organized and on top of their system, and they really know what they're doing. If you're anyone other than a professional wedding planner and you need coordination/planning services, hire them!

Nikki was the glue that put our wedding together! We could not have hired a better wedding planner for our big day. She helped us from square one and guided us to the very end. She was a huge help and could not have done it without her! The whole process seemed so simple with her help. We highly recommend her!

Hiring Carolina Love Events was the best decision we could've made when we started planning our wedding. We live in Durham, NC and got married in Asheville, NC, so we knew we needed someone local who could recommend vendors and help us coordinate the logistics with the venue. Working with Nikki was simply the best! She handled everything from vendor recommendations to scheduling meal tastings to day-of logistics and setup. Because of Nikki, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we, as well as our family, could enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. I cannot recommend Nikki & Team enough for your event planning needs!

Nikki and her team were the absolute sweetest! Nikki is incredibly organized, responsive, and patient and our wedding was the best night of our lives! I originally only wanted a month-of planner, but I am so glad that we chose full-service. Life threw many curveballs our way this past year, and without Nikki, we would have never been able to plan such a memorable and special night. Thank you for making my llama/crowd surfing/foodie dreams happen, and for being there for both Nick and I throughout the entire process. You're the best! <3

Nikki is everything you could ever ask for in a wedding planner. She is patient, SO calm, extremely detail oriented, well connected, thoughtful, and really takes the time to listen and learn about you, your partner, and your dream wedding. Our day was so perfect and the planning process was stress free! I can’t tell you how many people told me I was such a calm bride leading up to and on the day of the wedding. I kept saying “well, if you have a planner like Nikki, there is nothing to stress about!” She took care of everything and I can’t recommend her enough!

When planning for a wedding, I’ve heard from nearly every bride saying a day or coordinator is worth it. And I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I enjoyed the freedom to be able to piecemeal the day together with all of our favorite things, and really only reached out to the coordinator with vendor recommendations or quick questions (both of which google could have done). But come the day prior and day of—they’re worth their weight in gold. I selected Carolina Love Events based off my venues preferred vendor list and was paired with Heather almost 16 months out from my wedding date. Heather was very helpful so far out providing recommendations for vendors, and just basic questions. As the day got closer she coordinated more phone calls and created a detailed timeline with the vendors I selected and phone numbers. One week out she took over everything. I was hesitant to pass over all control of this day to nearly a complete stranger but the day went off without a hitch! Everyone was on time with deliveries, where they needed to be for pick up and she even distributed envelopes with tips to each vendor at the end of the evening. She and her assistant Megan were SO HELPFUL on the day of. They made sure we stayed on timeline, from the ceremony to the last song. We were hand delivered our first drinks, a mini charcuterie board during cocktail hour and the meal served…all the things we’ve heard from our married friends you need to make sure you do (eat!!). Finally, I showed up to the venue with a box of greenery and a picture of how I wanted the tables to look with printed table lists and said “I trust you guys”. Simple and elegant was what I was aiming for and they delivered!! We could not have asked for a better team to support us! If you’re unsure if the day of coordinator is worth it, take it from me, they are absolutely worth the peace of mind that the day the day runs smoothly. I highly recommend Carolina Love Events and Heather for anyone’s wedding!!

Nikki and Eva were so helpful throughout the planning process and Kristy made sure everything went perfectly the day of! I couldn’t have had the amazing day I did without them!

I really can't say enough great things about Nikki and her team at Carolina Love Events! I was an out-of-town bride, planning during COVID and I was not able to visit prior to our wedding. The best investment I made during our planning process was hiring Carolina Love! (And her pricing is extremely fair). Nikki picked me up from the chaos of planning and delivered everything promised. She was so easy to talk to, like we knew each other forever and made me feel so at ease during this process. She is the type of planner that is easy going but very thorough. I felt that she cared just as much about our day as we did. With her guidance we chose the best vendors and couldn't be happier with how or day turned out. We also used her for our floral services and that was just the cherry on top. She executed the vision for flowers perfectly, especially my bouquet (which is her favorite to make) was breathtaking. You will find a new friend in Nikki when planning and I would recommend Carolina Love Events to any and every one looking for a planner.

I will never be able to express my gratitude to Nikki and the Carolina Love Events team!! Three years ago, we booked our wedding with Homewood, and little did we know a pandemic would soon arrive and change everything. I never in a million years thought I’d face postponing our wedding three times, however thanks to Nikki it was a breeze! Our wedding in January 2022 was PERFECT! I was truly blessed and fortunate to have Nikki help me navigate the decision-making and working with our vendors, as this was a destination wedding. She was so kind and compassionate when my dear mother passed away two days before our 2nd wedding date. She handled the postponement and assured us through many phone calls she would help us keep our original vendors. Nikki is professional and has an amazing talent for making any wedding flow effortlessly. She was always calm and reassured us she would take care of it, and that she did! To me I never thought of her as our wedding planner but a good friend who gave us our dream wedding. She handled our floral arrangements and the flowers were gorgeous! If you desire a stress-free wedding, Nikki is your lady! She has a love and passion for making a dream wedding come true. With much heartfelt THANKS to Nikki and her entire team!!

The saddest part of my wedding being over is no longer being able to be in regular contact with Nikki - that is how amazing she is. She did our planning, florals and ensured that everything was PERFECT for my day. I was lucky enough to work with her for more than 2.5 years thanks to covid and she was a huge support as we had to make tough decisions in postponing. She is incredibly kind, professional and supportive. However, if you have a vendor that is not doing what they should be, you better bet she is ready to put them in their place for you. Carolina Love Events is the whole package!!

The best decision we ever made was booking Pankti at Carolina Love Events! She was extremely organized, thorough, and truly cared about my husband and me. She made sure everything ran on time according to schedule and coordinated closely with our other vendors. She was always available during the planning process whenever I had random questions or concerns. She’s approachable, funny, and knows what she is talking about! You can tell she has a lot of passion for wedding planning. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is and how great of an experience we had!

The single best decision I made for my wedding was Nikki. I don't even call her Nikki, I call her my angel--she is that incredible. I (stupidly) thought that I could plan a wedding and have a full time job all by myself with minimal help...from another state. Definitely not one of my brightest moments. After being completely overwhelmed, Nikki swooped in with her soothing angelic presence and made everything so much easier. She is organized, she is kind, she is patient. She is THE BEST!!! I could write a book and just sing her praises. My wedding day was perfect and she is the reason. I don't just consider her my wedding planner. I consider her my friend. If you want your perfect wedding--Nikki is your person.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Nikki and the entire Carolina Love Events team! Our wedding was perfect and so much of it can be attributed to Nikki's expertise, hard work and dedication to her couples! Ours was a "destination wedding" and Nikki was constantly available to answer any and all questions we had. She provided amazing insight into other local vendors, hotels for room blocks and even provided a PDF of recommendations of things to do and where to eat/drink in Asheville - which was super helpful in putting together our website. Any vendor we told her we planned to work with, she knew them personally and had established relationships which made us feel so at ease since we were planning the wedding from afar. We also used CLE for florals and all our arrangements were STUNNING - we had an arbor for the ceremony, greenery along the twinkle lights in the tent, gorgeous bouquets and other floral decor - it was all literally out of a dream. Nikki also referred us to a vintage furniture rental company and worked with them directly taking one more thing off our list! We had a beautiful vintage lounge set for guests to relax, amber goblets to complete the look of our table setting and other pretty decor to complete the vibe. It was perfect! Nikki truly read our minds and knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. Pankti (also at CLE) helped us with our signs - from calligraphed seating charts and programs on huge vintage mirrors to watercolor art for our signature cocktail menu, she is such a talented artist and we're so happy we were able to work with her. Not only was Nikki an angel leading up to the wedding, but also "saved the day" on the day of! While we did have a rain plan, the ceremony was planned to be outside, and the day-of, I was a tad stressed watching the "chance of rain percentage" steadily increase in the forecast. Just as the party bus showed up at our AirBnB to take us to the venue, it started downpouring, thundering, lightening - you name it, either way it was not looking good. As we pulled up to the venue, the rain had stopped but we could still hear thunder rumbling in the distance and I knew any minute that it could start downpouring again. Nikki assured me the week before that she can always adjust the timeline a bit and usually finds a hole in the storm to hold her ceremonies outside - and sure enough - we not only had our ceremony outside, but the sun came out just as I started saying my vows. I know it's crazy to say Nikki controls the weather - but I will say this woman is a wizard at tracking a radar and I was so thrilled she was able to time everything perfectly. The whole CLE team was so chill and on top of everything and if anything went wrong we have NO idea! Nikki made sure the entire night ran smoothly and on schedule and it was perfect! Having Nikki there made the day so much more enjoyable, and definitely gave us the peace of mind we needed so we could just enjoy ourselves. Major, major thank you to Nikki and the whole CLE team!

Nikki and her team were fantastic! As a "COVID bride" there were a lot of logistical nightmares (at least that is how it felt) in scheduling and rescheduling our wedding. Nikki handled everything beautifully - we would not have been able to do it without her. I could not recommend this company enough; the professionalism, attention to detail and responsiveness was exceptional.

I had signed with a venue in Candler who had an in house coordinator. The venue experienced some turnover and as our wedding date was approaching, I was nervous that the venue did not have a good handle on all the moving pieces. In comes Carolina Love Events! I reached out 2 months before my wedding and from the beginning intro call, I knew Nikki & team were going to be the perfect fit. They hit the ground running to get caught up to speed on all of my elements- immediately taking over vendor & venue communication. Nikki and Heather's attention to detail was incredible and their quick responses made me feel so secure leading into the final weeks. On the day of the wedding, if something went wrong, I had no idea. We were completely able to unplug and enjoy the day. I did hear about a few obstacles around needing more liquor, etc. and Heather reached out to my father and maid of honor to help coordinate rather than pulling me into the mix. She really understood my vision and helped all the other vendors execute on it and I can't stress enough how smooth the day was. "Experience" and "Timeline" was super important to me and Heather was on top of it. We are still getting comments about how smooth all of the elements were when transitioning from ceremony to cocktail to reception to dancing, etc. Thank you thank you thank you! We smile ear to ear when we reflect on our day and that is because Heather allowed us to be fully present.

We love Carolina Love Events! Nikki and her team are a true dream! We will forever and always applaud this team of ladies. Nikki knows what she is doing and does it well! She made everything so easy with the knowledge she possesses, it was such a breeze working with her. I wish everyone would choose this awesome team of ladies to help with their big day! You won't regret it!

Our day was absolutely perfect! Such a beautiful place to have a wedding. Nikki was so helpful the two years with planning and did such a beautiful job with our flowers! Kristy was super sweet and was there every step the day of! It couldn’t of gone more smoothly!

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know and working with Pankti as our wedding planner. I am so so so glad I found Carolina love events and Pankti. I felt like I was working with a friend I had known for a long time. Pankti always had my back and asked all the right questions to make sure our big day was exactly what we wanted. I knew from the get go I was in good hands because after my first call with Pankti she had sent me an email with a spreadsheet of vendors she had worked with and recommended (only ones available for our date) with quotes already included. I don’t know how people plan weddings without planners and certainly not without a planner like Pankti. Every other wedding planner I talked to was more expensive and offered very limited calls and emails etc. Pankti helped me from day one and answered every question I had. I don’t even want to think of all the emails and calls she had with all the other vendors not counting the ones I was on. Pankti was so polite, professional, organized, easy to get along with… she even found small ways to help us stay on track with our budget so we wouldn’t be stressed out on our wedding day. Our venue manager even said before the wedding that they were already working on the next weekends wedding because ours was already so ready and put together because of Pankti. We also used their vintage rentals and it really made the space extra special. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner I hope you reconsider. You will not regret it. And make sure you ask for Pankti <3

My wife and Pankti worked together to plan our wedding for over a year. During COVID. From two states away. Pankti responded to every email, answered every question, and indulged every whim. She was knowledgeable, focused, efficient, and super friendly. I wasn’t as involved in the planning, but my wife legitimately considers Pankti a friend now. Our wedding was everything we dreamt it would be. It went off flawlessly because Pankti was there to make sure that it did. She kept my wife calm and level headed throughout the planning process and during the event itself. From a practical/financial standpoint, the price was shockingly reasonable for the amount of work Pankti put in. I honestly cannot say enough positive stuff about Pankti. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts and in our memories. Thank you Pankti!

Nikki is the perfect wedding planner. Her attention to detail, her artistic vision (she did our flowers) and her kind nature combine into one fabulous professional in the field. My daughter's wedding was beautiful, and joyful. Nikki knows all the vendors and together they wove a magical day. I highly, highly, highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Nikki or her company enough! Choosing her as our wedding planner was the best decision that we made. She did an incredible job handling all the vendor relations, the tight schedules, and really listening to us to ensure the wedding style and design reflected us and our tastes. From Day 1 of planning to our send off at the reception, she was there every step of the way taking care of all the details and making wedding planning FUN instead of stressful. She was truly a joy to work with: always positive, optimistic and on-track. She had the most fun and creative ideas for our wedding design and really worked to make our wedding unique and special to us. Additionally, she has great relationships with all the additional wedding vendors and can really help you choose the perfect fit for your wedding.

Our original venue required us to use Carolina Love Events as our Wedding Coordinators - which was a good thing considering I previously followed them on Instagram and fell in love with what they offered. When COVID hit - we initially had a 200+ person wedding planned but at the last minute (a month before our wedding date, actually) - Nikki and her team were able to quickly adjust our plan to include only 42 people. It was an amazing Plan B because of Nikki's quick adjustments to the new venue and coordinating with all of our vendors....thank GOD! To be completely honest, I wish I had a more personal relationship with the team because, at times, I felt like they had so much going on (granted, we were planning during a worldwide pandemic…) that our day wasn't as special as I thought it should be. (I know, I know, I sound ridiculous because all Brides want their day to be the only focus for their Coordinator, but being a Wedding Coordinator in the past, my vision was that we would be besties (lol) and I didn’t get that feeling.) I do, however, highly recommend Carolina Love Events for making your day look and feel as your best day ever - Nikki listens to your concerns and offers help with your budget. She knows the area vendors very well (we live in South Carolina and didn’t know the area as much) and will work super hard to get things planned at your liking. Thank you, girls, for the most beautiful Plan B ever and wish you all the luck in the future!

Pandemic wedding planning was tough, but Pankti kept us sane and made our day flawless.

Nikki was hands down the reason we were able to have, and enjoy, our wedding in 2020. We were uncertain if we would need more than a month-of planner, but we decided to go with the partial planning due to the pandemic and it was the best decision we could have made. We began planning a destination wedding before the pandemic started, and had a date lined up for October 2020. There were times we weren’t sure we could make it happen. Nikki was there for us through it all - even if we were going to have to reschedule. She communicated with vendors and touched base with us often, and made us feel at ease in a time where that felt impossible. Carolina Love Events was also our florist, calligrapher, and made available wedding rentals. Nikki was able to create a color pallet and floral arrangements that matched our style perfectly. She is very creative and made our visions come to life based on our Pinterest board. From the beginning, Nikki was very responsive to our inquiries. She is clearly knowledgeable about the wedding industry. She supports you throughout the process, she is empathic to stressed out couples and sensitive situations. Nikki was extremely professional and cares about her couples as well as the event. She made personalized connections with us and makes time to fully focus on you when you communicate. We could not have asked for a better planner / company. She remained cool, calm, and collected in tense moments. No idea where we would have ended up without her advice and direction! On top of Nikki’s skills, she is a great person, treating bridal party, family, and guests with kindness and respect. She puts a lot into her career and we could not recommend Carolina Love Events more for your wedding.

I really can't say enough good things about Nikki and Pankti! We got married in the middle of the pandemic and I can't fathom pulling it off without them. They truly went above and beyond the scope of work I expected. Pankti helped us move our date and readjust accordingly, constantly checked in on me and ensured that no detail was missed down to the table numbers. It's true what they say - money spent on a coordinator/planner is the best money you can spend on a wedding. Hire this team and your wedding will be organized and enjoyable for you and your loved ones!!

I have a hard time even coming up with words to describe how amazing Nikki is. She was an absolute calming presence throughout the whole wedding planning process. It was overwhelming to try to plan a wedding from out of town during a pandemic. I honestly didn’t have to worry about a single thing with Nikki. She immediately understood the vibe we wanted to have at our wedding and made it happen. Every single vendor she connected us with was perfection. Nikki’s attention to detail throughout the whole process was insane. She didn’t miss a thing the whole time. We were able to enjoy the wedding planning process and our wedding day without having to worry about a thing. If you’re on the fence deciding whether or not to use Carolina Love Events, DO IT. You will not regret it a single bit and it will be the best money you spend on your wedding. We could not have done all it all without Nikki. I honestly want her to become my life coach or at least friend. She’s the real MVP!!!

Pandemic wedding planning was no joke and Nikki and her team took it all in stride and were so helpful though all aspects of the process. We do not live locally to the Asheville area so most of our planning was done remotely. I am so thankful to Carolina Love Events for making our day as beautiful and as stress-free as possible. They did our florals as well and they turned out so beautifully.

We got married at Homewood, so we contracted with Carolina Love Events for our wedding there. We went with the full planning package to help reduce stress during the planning process and since we do not live locally. It was worth every single penny!! We gave ourselves over a year from booking the venue to the wedding date, which also helped. Nikki helped us stay on top of the timeline by checking in regularly, strategically spreading out decisions on vendors, and everyone she recommended was wonderful. We ended up having to reschedule our wedding from May to September due to the pandemic, and Nikki helped make that so easy. We also significantly reduced our guest count AND moved the reception outside, and it could not have been easier with Nikki’s help. She accommodated every decision and gave us very helpful guidance when we needed it. On top of all the planning, we also used Carolina Love Events for our flowers! They were more affordable than the other local options we quoted, and the arrangements were BEAUTIFUL! Nikki executed perfectly on our vision for flowers, and there was a huge variety of flowers and greens in the bouquets and arbor piece. We can’t recommend Carolina Love Events enough for both planning and flowers!

Nikki is incredible! We had to move our wedding from our venue in Colorado to Asheville (where I had never even been before) in the middle of the pandemic in order to ensure that our parents would be able to drive to our ceremony. Family friends were letting us use some undeveloped mountain property in the area, with no amenities, and we had 90 days to pull it off. I was skeptical that I'd be able to pull it off. And knew I was going to need some help. Nikki and her team were communicative, listened to my ideas/hopes/vision for the wedding, and pulled it off fabulously. She arranged power, water, food, rentals, transportation, restrooms. She worked with me to figure out exactly what our vibe was and what we wanted the venue to look like. And then, when we had a mudslide wash out the road an hour before the ceremony was starting (definitely not in the plan), she was calm, navigating all the changes/setbacks/delays with the various vendors and our guests. And, then when the caterers were unable to remain to serve the dinners because it had been delayed by 3 hours, Nikki just jumped in and did that too, making sure that our dinner went off without a hitch. Our wedding would have been a fiasco without her, but because we had Nikki to help us pull it off, it was the most incredible, gorgeous day. Our wedding was unforgettable, and Nikki's help with the entire process was priceless. She went above and beyond and I would absolutely recommend her to every couple looking to get married in Asheville.

Carolina Love Events took care of us from start to finish for our big day, and we couldn't be happier with the support they provided. We opted for the full wedding planning package and found it to be an excellent value. Nikki helped keep us on track and was super patient with all of our questions. Her experience and advice really helped relieve a lot of our stress about planning. She made herself available for calls at odd hours due to our west coast vs east coast timezone difference, and that really helped us out. We absolutely recommend any couple considering getting a wedding planner to work with Nikki and Carolina Love Events.

We were from out of town, and Nikki made it so easy. She was great at providing recommendations and answering all the questions we had along the way. She is super organized and transparent, so we were never left guessing about things we may have forgotten or what was left on our to-do list along the way. Nikki could be there for our wedding as a new mommy, but she was available as long as she could be, and her team stepped in to make sure our wedding week went smoothly. They were such a joy to work with and made everything about our day easy and stress free!

Nikki was easily the best decision we made when wedding planning. From the start, Nikki was super organized and very easy to work with. She met with us as much as we wanted and the only times she didn't get back to an email within 24 hours was when she was on maternity leave with her beautiful new baby :) She organized and managed all of our vendors and wedding party the weekend of the wedding. Everything was just perfect, and I know it's because Nikki was running the show the whole time in the background. We never worried about a single logistic come the morning of the wedding. We loved working with Nikki so much, we also contracted her to do our flowers and help find a few vintage-inspired pieces to complete our wedding day vision. The flowers were a dream. She helped us cut costs by running some substitutions the week of, based on what was fresh and available. Do yourself a favor and hire Nikki and her team.

Nikki was a phenomenal Planner and I would highly recommend hiring her! We planned our wedding in Asheville as a destination wedding and she was able to help with everything and anything we needed throughout the process. She is friendly, organized, detail oriented, and an absolute joy to work with. From the moment we met her I felt so relaxed and confident knowing our day of details would be handled. She made our wedding day a breeze. She took everything off of our plate and made it so we could truly enjoy our day.

We chose the Homewood as our dream wedding venue because of the beautiful fireplace. The Homewood requires you to use Nikki/ Carolina Love Events. We worked with them for nearly 18months. The day before our wedding we were introduced to a coordinator whom we had never met before. No explanation of what had happened to Nikki. Needless to say our day had many many missed details. The most important and heartbreaking being that the coordinator completely forgot to turn on the fireplace before starting the ceremony. Just completely forgot although she was reminded by the groom, the best man, mother of the bride and the bride. She also forgot to turn on the in memory candles that were the second most important detail of our ceremony. We can never get that moment back, it was and forever will be so disappointing. If you are a couple who really care about the details of your wedding go elsewhere.

Nikki and her team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. I planned my wedding in Asheville, NC from Boston - which I found to be no easy task! Despite this, Nikki worked with me in whatever capacity was needed. If I ever had a stress, concern, or question (no matter how big or small) she always responded in a timely fashion and immediately calmed me down. During the rehearsal and the wedding, she was fantastic at coordinating everyone with shocking efficiency (we had a large wedding party with a lot of excitement, all the time) and a smile on her face. Our night could not have been better and Carolina Love Events was a huge part in making that happen!

It's been three months since my wedding day, and in hindsight, I am even more sure now than I was then that hiring Nikki was the best hiring decision I made throughout the whole process. She's super chill personally and extremely easy to get along with. She's also incredibly organized - working with her was essentially like taking a multiple choice test (while working without her would have been like having to take an essay-answer test). She researched and brought me vendor options/decor options/etc. that fit me and my then-fiance/now-husband, and we picked best fit, or she would go back to the drawing board, if necessary. Day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about one single detail. Nikki and Pankti took care of everything (including making sure the marriage license was signed and sent so that we are actually legally married). There are so many wonderful things I could say about Nikki and how easy she made this process. We knew as soon as we spoke with her (and we spoke with a few before her), that she was the wedding planner for us, and I would gladly send her to all of my closest friends and family who needed planning services for an event.

Nikki and her team were amazing through the whole process. We hired for the Day of Coordination Package, but still felt they went above and beyond and were able to answer questions throughout the entire planning process. Early on she even sent us a detailed day of and day before schedule. Down to the quarter hour! Haley and Kristi were there the day of, and helped make sure everything went smoothly. It truly was a load off my mind, with my tendency to worry and try and fix things myself. Very glad, spent the money where it was needed and I had them on my team!

Working with Nikki and her team for our wedding was everything we could have asked for and more! From the very first time Nikki and I spoke on the phone she put me at ease about planning our wedding. She kept me on track and kept the planning process moving perfectly. I appreciated her honest vendor advice and felt like she was never going to lead me in the wrong direction. The months leading up to the wedding she took over all communication with our vendors, helped schedule trials, and attended our tasting with us. At the end of it all my husband and I agreed, Nikki and her team were worth every penny and more. Her calm manner and incredible organization made our day amazing!

Nikki and her team were hands down the best decision we made and money we spent for our wedding. Nikki helped us plan our wedding for a year and a half and was with us every step of the way. Perhaps the best testimony I can give is that my husband nor I stressed at all on our wedding day. We both knew that Nikki and her team had the entire day under control and we were able to enjoy every second of our wedding. I cannot day enough good things about Carolina Love Events!

We hired Carolina love events for our Day of Coordinator at Chestnut Ridge and we loved Nikki and everything she did for us! She was responsive and went out of her way to help us from the very beginning of the process! Everything ran so smoothly on the day of thanks to Nikki! And she had the best tips along the way to ensure we got great pictures and enjoyed every minute!
