My wife and I had initially tried to plan our wedding on our own. We had developed the macro picture in our mind perfectly, but there were still many many small details and logistics that were causing us enormous amounts of stress.
If you are...
currently planning a wedding and are feeling overwhelmed, Trent and Ashley are the perfect fit for wedding planners! They put us at ease within the first five minutes of our initial meeting and finally took the stress from months of planning and organizing on our own off of our shoulders. We wished we had contacted them much sooner!
With our Day Of Coordination Package, they provided the needed guidance and structure in order to execute a truly unforgettable, organized and seamless wedding day. In the weeks leading up to the big day they gave us a detailed final “to do” list to help us ensure that no stone was left unturned and they took over the duties of calling all of our vendors to establish themselves as the main point of contact. The package also included a final meeting with Something Fabulous and the manager of our venue; This meeting provided us with the opportunity to come together as a team in order to review our wedding day itinerary to make sure all logistics were in place.
Our favorite aspects of working with Trent and Ashley were their fabulous personalities and their abilities to maintain structure with the wedding party and guests; while also making everyone laugh and enjoy the process! We were also incredibly impressed with their decorating and how they were able to bring our vision of the wedding to reality and make it better than we could have imagined!
Hire them! You will not regret having a wonderful team to support you and your vision for your wedding and they will help you to have fun during the process!

Ashley and Trent were my day-of-coordinators and they were an amazing duo to work with! We were originally supposed to have our wedding on November 2020 but had to reschedule it twice and they were so understanding and accommodating about it. T...
hey were really responsive throughout the whole process and made sure everything was set before the day of the wedding day. On the day of the wedding, they were super organized and made everything run smoothly. If there were any issues or problems, I didn't know about it because they were so good about resolving and dealing with it. I was a DIY bride so I had a lot of decorations that I made and they did an amazing job setting everything up like I wanted.
Ashley and Trent went above and beyond to make sure every detail was accounted for! They were so organized and helped me stick to a planning schedule so I was never stressed about when things needed to get done. They knew which vendors to conne...
ct us with (florist, hair & makeup, etc.), made sure we stayed in our budget, came up with a beautiful design board, and always made sure we had options. Communication was great and always timely. I truly don’t know how I would’ve planned my wedding without them!
If you are reading this, then you're probably looking for a wedding planner. Look no more. Hire Trent and Ashley! Both of them are absolutely phenomenal in their work. However, I worked with Trent during most of the duration and months leading ...
up to my magical wedding day. I have a million amazing things to say about Trent but I will try to narrow them down the best that I can. Trent is so amazingly meticulous with every aspect of the planning process. From flowers, table setting, decorations, to helping me with my wedding shoes he gets an A++. Trent is also so wonderful with making sure you stay in budget. We went over in a few categories, but Trent made sure we budgeted accordingly in other places to stay within our price range. Trent is a friend. I had quite a few meltdowns, and needed someone to vent to often during stressful months. Trent was my confidant and ALWAYS helped me. Trent was my saving grace, angel, rock, (one of the many) biggest supporters (if not my #1) on my big day. My wedding day was literally the most spectacular day of my life, and that's all thanks to him. I could literally go on forever talking about how amazing of a person, professional, and wedding planner he is, but I may cry because that's how special he is to me. You will not be let down in the slightest by hiring Ashley and Trent, I promise.
Trent and Ashley were the secret to our successful wedding! We hired them for day-of coordination/event management. We were immediately impressed by how easy they were to talk to and how detail-oriented they were. Even when we were many months ...
out from our wedding, they were incredibly communicative, and they were understanding and flexible when we had to move our wedding date due to COVID. Once we were a few months out from the wedding, we had a thorough final details meeting where we talked through all the little things—everything from ceremony plans to what kind of napkin fold we wanted at the reception! We used a venue with a very short window for set-up, and they coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everything was set up in record time and even picked up our cake for us! The whole day, they were working behind the scenes to make sure everything went according to plan, and I didn’t feel like I had to worry at all—they knew what needed to be done much better than I did! Ultimately, everything went fabulously due to their incredible work. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Stop reading this review and book these planners! Best decision of our wedding by far! The day of, we didn't have to lift a single finger because of them! Our whole bridal party got to relax and drink mimosas while they worked their butts off a...
nd made our wedding dreams come true! 🥰 In the weeks leading up to our wedding they were very responsive to every email, and took care of contacting all our vendors. Trent and Ashley were patient and understanding when we decided to change our layout 3 times. Trent went to our venue with us to help pick out furniture for our rental space, go over our layout and had great input to help with all of our decisions. I have horrible indecisiveness and Trent was so incredibly helpful with this! We met with Trent multiple times virtually and in person and we felt so at ease and knew Something Fabulous was the perfect fit and they are incredibly well priced. They also have great vendor recommendations and connections (shout-out to our DJ, Willis, at Willis J Entertainment!) ALSO. The bustle on my dress busted and the second it happened both Trent and Ashley were right there with a repair kit helping me fix it and kept me from panicking! I can't say it enough. BOOK.THEM.NOW!
I was so happy with Something Fabulous Weddings. I didn't have to worry about anything. Ashley & Trent were professional and reasonably priced. They took care of everything for my big day and I was anxiety free.
If we could give Something Fabulous Weddings a higher rating than a five, we would do so in a heartbeat! We had the great fortune of working with Trent for our wedding on May 21, 2022 in Raleigh and we just have to say that he is an absolute ge...
m! We immediately clicked with him when we first met via zoom and knew the days leading up to the wedding and the day itself were going to be as stress free as possible. Trent answered all of our questions, hopped on several phone/zoom calls whenever we needed it (including a call with the mother of one of the brides), and met up with us when we came to town. When it came to the wedding weekend, Trent made sure to check in with us and always asked if we needed anything. Trent brought along his fantastic assistant Kari who was just as much of a gem as Trent! Kari also made sure to check in with both of us and even calmed me down when I was getting really nervous as the ceremony was starting. She made sure I was hydrated and staying cool as it was 95 degrees the day of our wedding. Trent and Kari made sure we were sticking to the timeline throughout the night and we never had to worry about anything (we could just enjoy our day). At the end of the night Trent graciously packed up our car with all of our decorations and even drove us back to the hotel so we didn't have to walk. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator to work with. Trent and Kari are the dream team!
Working with Trent and Michelle at Something Fabulous Weddings & Event was the best decision I made during wedding planning! I would 10/10 recommend them to all family and friends for their big days!
Both Trent and Michelle were so hands on th...
roughout the planning process, the rehearsal process as well as the entire wedding day. There were a few details that I overlooked in the schedule for the wedding day and Trent was so helpful to make sure it wasn't a big deal at all. He was right there with a solution, a quick fix -- which made the overlooked details not a problem at all. Trent was very detail oriented, he followed my vision for the décor/tables but also provided his recommendations when possible. Both Trent and Michelle had such positive attitudes which is so needed on a busy wedding day.
Thank you both for all you did and I wish we could get married AGAIN so we could partner together on another fun event :)
Two words: Fairy Godparents. These two made my wedding day an absolute success and I cannot recommend them enough. The number of things they take off your plate and handle with such ease was truly remarkable. Even things I thought I could handl...
e - nope, they just swoop in. Their advice/suggestions made the final details (aka the ones you didn't even know you had to decide on or even think about) a breeze to resolve.
Bonus: A year later on your anniversary, your friends will still talk about how Trent and Ashley did such an amazing job and how your wedding was one of the best they've ever attended.
Stop looking, you found your coordinators 😊
They are the best!!! We could not recommend this team enough; Ashley and Trent were everything we needed and more! Not only were we an out-of-state couple, in a different time-zone (with inflexible h...
ealthcare professional hours) but we also had to postpone due to COVID; all the while Trent and Ashley were so accommodating and never skipped a beat. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, with absolutely no stress on our end whatsoever. They are extremely professional and SO much fun to work with. I cannot stress the fun aspect enough; our meetings were filled with lots of laughs, and we always looked forward to chatting with them. We also had a lot of compliments from our family and friends after the wedding as well, raving on how great they did. One hundred percent unmatched service and we are so very glad we got to work with such great people!
As a result of Covid, our wedding was postponed twice and ultimately our plans changed from having a wedding and reception to having an event to celebrate our elopement. Trent, from Something Fabulous, was there for support and advice througho...
ut all of the changes. He promptly responded to any questions that we had and met with us several times virtually and in-person to make sure that we were all on the same page. In addition, Trent was highly organized and professional. He worked with us to create a timeline before our event and did a fantastic job of ensuring that the timeline was followed on the night of the event. Many of our guests commented on how organized he was and how smoothly everything went. Trent has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Trent from Something Fabulous!
I can't recommend these two amazing people enough! They work so well together and their styles compliment each other so well. I really feel like they went above and beyond my expectations. As a bride, I wanted to do as little work as possible. ...
I wanted to pick out what I liked and show up (which seemed like an impossible expectation). They certainly delivered! I had so much fun meeting with them and I felt like our time was very efficiently used. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and they not only seamlessly transitioned our vendors and plans, but they also handled the decision making process with patience and compassion.
On the day of my wedding I was so at peace with how everything was planned and really able to enjoy it despite the crazy circumstances. They ended up feeling like family by the end of our time together. My sweet niece/flower girl had a terrible day because her dress was itchy and her only comfort was her stuffed bunny. Right before we were about to go into the church for the ceremony she lost her bunny and my sister was frantically looking for it. I didn't even get a chance to worry about it because without a word, Trent swooped right in and saved the day with her bunny! They hustled and paid attention to every detail no matter how small! He also joined in on the line dances when we needed instruction and was just overall a joy to work with!
I had a wonderful experience and fantastic wedding because of Trent and Ashley at Something Fabulous Weddings. They were extremely responsive and professional and made the experience fun and easy for me. They guided me through the obvious aspec...
ts - and also recommended amazing details that I could easily and inexpensively add to make it special. They were amazing on my wedding day, managing all of the vendors and my guests throughout the long day. When someone accidentally spilled wine on my dress, they were both by my side within 10 seconds, calmly applying the Tide detergent pen to my skirt - and the stain quickly disappeared! I highly, highly recommend them!!!
Trent and Ashley are the best wedding planners/coordinators you could ask for! They really took the stress out of planning a wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about anything. Trent and Ashley made sure everything ran s...
moothly and it was just how we pictured it would be. Worth every penny, and more! Not only are they great at what they do, they are great people too.
Oh my gosh... where do I begin?! Ashley and Trent were by far the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. To be honest I wasn't planning on hiring a planner but once we decided to and as we started working with them I instant...
ly became so thankful. We used them as a "day of coordinator." We started most of our communication the month before. They created a timeline and sent it to all my vendors to make sure everyone knew where to be and when. They helped me with last minute vendors such as providing a fantastic florist, adding the missing pieces my center pieces needed and so much more. They were ON IT come the day of as well. The amount of compliments I received about them from our guests were astonishing. So many people could see how hard they were working and you could tell they were just SO GOOD at their jobs. So good I forgot that we weren't their only clients. They probably had a wedding the very next day but I never even thought about that. They made us feel as if we were the only ones they were working with - that's how much time and effort they put into you. One thing I did was let them set up the church and venue how they wanted . I gave them boxes of decorations but for the most part I said "place things where you think it looks best" and let me tell you... our venue looked amazing. I can't thank them enough for how amazing our day turned out. I had ZERO STRESS. I was able to actually take in my wedding day because I knew they had it handled. They set up, cleaned up, and ran the day. Gosh I could write a book about how fantastic they were too work with but I won't. Long story short. BOOK THEM! BOOK THEM! BOOK THEM!
We had such a great experience with Trent & Ashley! They were attentive, easy to work with and professional. They provided anything and everything we needed. They handled my family and friends perfectly and were affordable. We recommend them hi...

could not have asked for better coordinators. You can tell they truly care about their clients. 10/10 would recommend using them for your upcoming wedding!

Trent and Ashley are the DREAM TEAM!
I honestly don't know what I would have done without Ashley and Trent! My May 2nd wedding was cancelled and we last minute ended up having two weddings in one weekend (one on Friday and one on Saturday) at ...
a different venue. Although there were fewer guest at each event, both events were full out weddings with multiple vendors, music, seated dinners, etc. I had planned on them being "day of coordinators" for my original wedding, but without even asking, they jumped in and took on both of my events. I didn't have to think about a thing leading up to the weekend or during the events. They were with me the ENTIRE weekend, working all day and night Friday and Saturday to make sure everything was perfect. Any hiccup we had, they figured it out quickly and had a solution before I even knew there was an issue. Not to mention they navigated through the whole COVID situation with such ease. They were anything but "day of coordinators" to me. They were absolute life savors! I can't express enough how much you need this team to be part of your special day!
Trent & Ashley literally saved our wedding day! with less than a month before our wedding, our wedding planner decided to be a no-show for our walk-through and we were left without anyone. We found Trent & Ashley and they swooped in to save the...
day. They met with us the next day and somehow not only organized everything we wanted but helped us make the event even more than we could have dreamed of. They were optimistic and upbeat but helped us stay level-headed and within budget. Seriously the BEST team we could have gotten and we are SO thankful for them!!!
We opted for the partial planning package, and Something Fabulous went above and beyond! I came into the planning process with crippling indecisiveness and a very short timeline (4-5 months) to plan our big day. Ashley and Trent made the planni...
ng process SO easy and actually turned wedding planning (something I initially loathed) into something fun! They took a lot of time and care ensuring they understood our vision and priorities, and they helped us navigate some tricky pre-wedding situations that came up with our other vendors. Wedding Day was so smooth, and even though there were probably tons of things that didn't go as planned (as they always do), we had NO idea because Ashley and Trent took care of it all. ALL. I've been a bridesmaid in a few weddings where the planners involved the bride in day-of problems, and it's stressful for anyone to witness/experience. For us to be so blissfully unaware of wedding day emergencies is a true testament to Trent and Ashley's care, professionalism, and ability to see out our vision. We couldn't have pulled off such a perfect day without Something Fabulous!
