From the very first phone call, I knew Stephanie was the right planner for us. She made us feel so special and we really felt she would create a wedding unique to us!
We had Step...
hanie and the Viva team plan our whole wedding weekend and it was the best decision we made for our wedding.
For the last two years, Stephanie listened to every crazy idea we had, and responded to what I can only say was a million emails/texts. She took all of my thoughts and elevated everything to be beyond my wildest dreams. I was absolutely
blown away when it all came to life! She was able to create a story from the moment the save the dates went in the mail all the way through 3 events, to even the thank you cards!
We felt like a lot of planners took their own ideas for what your wedding should be, but Stephanie really listen to what we wanted and made it truly a one of a kind. Our new last name is Shell, and she was able to incorporate shells into our December wedding in all the best ways!
We can’t thank Stephanie and the Viva team enough!
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner/event coordinator than Stephanie. From the moment we met her, she radiated professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion fo...
r making our special day perfect. Stephanie's attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly. Throughout the planning process, Stephanie was a constant source of support and guidance. She listened to our ideas and preferences, offering expert advice to enhance our vision. Her communication skills were exceptional, and she promptly addressed any concerns or questions we had.
Our wedding day was absolutely magical. Choosing Stephanie/ Viva team as our wedding event coordinator was, without a doubt, the best investment we made for our wedding. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and genuinely caring wedding planner. Thank you, Stephanie/ Viva for making our dream wedding a reality

I cannot put into words how amazing Stephanie and Viva L'Event are! From the moment I first began planning with Stephanie, you can immediately feel her passion, love, and dedicatio...
n for helping couples have the most perfect and smooth wedding planning and day of coordination experience! Stephanie was so easy to communicate with. No matter how many questions I would ask Stephanie, she always responded promptly and thoroughly! This made the process incredibly stress-free. On our wedding day, I did not have to worry about a thing. Stephanie put her heart and soul into making our day so special and absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Stephanie and Viva L'Event enough. You are not just another bride to them, you are THE bride!
Stephanie and Brittnee did an amazing job in guiding my daughter and I though the steps of planning her wedding! They were professional, very responsive, kind, and had packages to...
choose from that enabled us to get the help we needed but stay within our budget. Can't say enough great things about them and would use them again in a heartbeat for future events!
I honestly cannot recommend Viva L'Event more to a bride! Stephanie and her team went above and beyond to make our day beautiful, run smoothly, and be everything I ever imagined. H...
onestly, I don't know a single thing that went wrong on our wedding day and if something did happen, it was taken care of quickly and something I never had to worry about dealing with on my wedding day (can you ask for anything more?!).
Due to Covid postponing my wedding twice (and already originally having a long engagement), I worked with Stephanie from early 2019 for our original June 2020 date all the way to February 2022 for our actual wedding day. As you can imagine, planning and postponing a wedding during a global pandemic where the rules and regulation were always changing was extremely stressful and emotional. Stephanie was there every step of the way to help with the logistics and also the emotional stress!
Stephanie and Kristin were helpful, professional, and kind all day of the wedding. They made sure everything was set up exactly how I wanted it, made sure the bridal party and family members were where they should be and when, made sure vendors were on time and getting their jobs completed, etc. Our friends and family (especially my bridesmaids, mother, and mother in law) raved about how amazing they were the whole day!
Stephanie and her team are truly AMAZING! You will not regret hiring and working with Viva L'Event! <3
Stephanie and her team made our wedding the perfect experience. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. I’m sure things came up the day of, but she handled everything and left us...
to enjoy our day. If you are considering her services, do not hesitate! They are the single best vendor decision we made for our wedding. I truly cannot imagine what our experience would have been like if we hadn’t had the viva la event team. Could not recommend enough!
Having Stephanie as part of our wedding planning was the best decision we could have made. From our first introductory call, we knew Stephanie would be a great fit and understood t...
he vision/vibe we were going for. Beyond being incredibly responsive and on top of all the details, I would call her if I was struggling with a final decision and she was like a planner, friend and therapist combined. She also brought an amazing creative vision to our planning-- I had a general idea of what I would like and I was so impressed when I saw everything come to life. Our wedding was perfect and she helped make everything stress free! I truly miss getting to chat and work with her now that the wedding is done!
The Viva team is the BEST! We didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day - we just got to enjoy ourselves and be in the moment!
Thank you ladies for making our day so ...
special, we will cherish these memories forever!
Brianne and Casey
Viva L’Event is exactly the wedding planner I was looking for. Stephanie is exactly who you want to work with if you are a bride that knows what she likes, but doesn’t have the tim...
e or eye to put it all together herself. Stephanie from the beginning made me feel at ease by taking the time to get to know me and what looks I like. She sent me ideas and always kept me on track regarding decisions I needed to make. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect, she was the most amazing planner - making everything go off without a hitch. She took all my ideas and worked to get me the best pricing, the right vendors, and executed everything perfectly. I also did not want my wedding to look so cookie cutter like so many others I had seen and she totally helped me make it unique and modern while keeping it classy. I can’t say enough great things about Viva L’Event. If you need a full or partial planner, she is you girl!
The best wedding planners ever. Seriously, stop your search right here. We had been working with another planner up until the last two months before the wedding. It was clear it wa...
s not going well but we were nervous about changing at that point. I will tell you it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Stephanie helped us make a smooth transition and demonstrated great communication and hard work since that point on. She explained Kristin would help us from there since she would be there the day of. Throughout those last two months, they both worked hard to redo several elements that were already planned and communicated so well with me throughout the entire process.
There were several parts to our small wedding that were a lot of extra work but Kristin put in extra effort to ensure that they went well. I was extremely impressed with her communication with the other vendors the day of and how kind but direct she was long after I would have lost my patience. Our wedding day was so hot and Kristin worked so hard the entire day. Of course things were not perfect, as they never are, but I was able to relax and know that Kristin could handle anything that came up. We were able to laugh when things went off schedule and have fun which I am so grateful for.
I will also say that we are not your traditional wedding people but created something that was a reflection of Dan and I as a couple and we felt supported in that the entire way. As a female small business owner myself, I can say that Viva L'Event is extremely well run and these women know the meaning of hard work. I have no idea how they do it and do it so well but you will not be sorry about hiring them. Their experience shows in everything that they do. We are very grateful and will miss working with them.
Stephanie (and Viva L'Event) was absolutely amazing!! She handled everything so well and made our day feel so special and just like us! Night or day, Stephanie never missed a beat ...
and was always there to make sure everything went smoothly and perfectly. I could never have survived the wedding planning process without Stephanie and her gang. HIGHEST of recommendations!!
From the moment we met Stephanie, we knew she would plan our wedding. Of all the planners I reached out to, she was the only one who offered to meet us for lunch rather than have a...
phone meeting. Within moments of meeting her, you see that Stephanie has the best energy and most positive personality. We couldn't be more thankful to have had her on our side during wedding planning. My husband and I got married during Hurricane Florence and Stephanie never made us feel like our day wasn't going to be everything we'd hoped for - and thanks to her, it was! Even when our caterer cancelled on us 3 days before the wedding, Stephanie had a back up within the hour. Stephanie has so many contacts in the area, which adds to her already amazing wedding planning abilities. She was communicating with us constantly and really made sure we were all on the same page every step of the way. We loved working with Stephanie. I would recommend her to every single person I know. You will not regret booking Viva for your wedding!
Stephanie was spectacular! If I could give her a billion star rating I would. Lindsay and I loved her from the very first interview. Stephanie explained the process, was very in...
formative and a great communicator. She is so sharp and responsive with e-mail. She gave us the confidence that each detail had been reviewed and was completely under control. Stephanie made Lindsay's vision of her dream event come true. It was truly a "just show up and everything will be perfect" day. I cannot say enough good thing about Viva L'Event and the peace of mind it gave us to know that she was on top of every detail with the vendors and the timeline. It couldn't have been lovelier!
I interviewed multiple wedding planners and Stephanie was the only vendor who took the time to meet me in person -- we connected instantly! She took my vision of bright colors, wit...
h a Southern romantic charm and tied everything together perfectly with the florist, One + Only Paper, and all of the other amazing vendors she recommended. She also came up with amazing ways to incorporate our beloved shihpoo, Beasley. Day of went off without a hitch and it was so comforting to have Stephanie by my side. She's passionate, creative, and so kind. You are in great hands with Viva L'Event!
I met Stephanie at the Carolina Inn bridal showcase and was immediately drawn to her sincerity and energy. In each and every interaction we had for over a year and a half of planni...
ng, she was the utmost professional and completely thorough. I felt supported, understood, and appreciated that Stephanie always came to the table with multiple options and proactive suggestions. She even humored me when I was having a bride moment and agonizing over which earrings I would wear by sending links galore with inspo. Stephanie is amazing, she will NOT let you down, and you will be better off by working with her!
Stephanie was the absolute best choice I could have made to help me plan and execute my wedding. I asked her for recommendations for everything from vendors to my seating arrangeme...
nt. She would always give me a few ideas with advice, making it easy to make a decision. I ended up with an amazing vendor team that all worked well together and understood what I was looking for perfectly. Stephanie’s day-of coordination couldn’t have been any smoother, which is especially impressive considering we had 200+ very loud and rowdy guests.
I am so glad we worked with Kristin for our month-of coordination! She made the last month of planning so easy and I was so grateful to have her there with me during the wedding we...
ekend. She is adorable and so easy to get along with, as well as professional and organized. Thank you so much Kristin!!! I selfishly wish I had another excuse to hang out with her!
Words can not express how smoothly our planning process and day of coordination went because of the Viva team. They consistently answered my many questions, provided suggestions an...
d listed references along the way. We worked with Kristin for day of coordination. She was absolutely wonderful! From coordinating our rehearsal to day of preparations- Kristin and Stephanie blew us away. They covered every detail from putting out our place cards, decorating the mantles, placing the cake server and much more. The fact that they were very familiar with our venue and had strong relationships with every vendor we chose made us feel even more confident in this team. If you want a stress free, laid back wedding day and planning process book the Viva team. You won't regret it!
I loved working with Viva L'Event and would recommend their services to anyone. Kristin was so friendly and attentive and really made the entire process seamless.
I truly cannot convey how beyond amazing Stephanie and her team are. The Viva team planned all of our design, and our floral design as well. Stephanie even recommended almost all o...
f our fantastic vendors. Stephanie is great with meticulous details, and from the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands!
I am a bit of a nontraditional bride that prefers blacks, and golds, and Stephanie was right there with my vision. She organized our rehearsal, ceremony and reception flawlessly. I was in shock at how beautiful everything was. I felt like my reception and ceremony were something out of a bridal magazine. Her floral design was breathtaking, and our guests were gushing about the flowers and centerpieces throughout the night. At the end of our reception, Stephanie had everything packed up and ready to go! It made the end of our night so simple.
Hiring Stephanie and her team really took a lot of stress out of our wedding day and wedding planning. I really do not know how we could have done it without her.
Kristin was perfect! She saw to every detail on the day of so that we didn't have to worry and, most importantly, my mother was able to just relax and take in the day rather than ...
worrying over the vendors or the decorations or last minute rain plans :) She met with us twice before the wedding and was always available and helpful over email with recommendations and advice when I needed her. And the decorations at the entrance table - wow! I had a very vaguely formed plan for the space and just kind of handed her a box of stuff and it came out beautiful! She definitely has a great eye for design, is very professional, and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!
