Owner
My passion for weddings has existed for as long as I can remember. As a young adult, I ventured to New York to work in the culinary industry and bridal fashion. And, so began the wedding obsession! But, interior design school was the icing on the cake that made event design my life’s work. When I'm not planning weddings, I enjoy travel. Travel broadens my perspective and challenges me to push boundaries, while adhering to a philosophy of design innovation. It is a privilege to help couples like you discover their signature wedding style, as we create a once in a lifetime experience together.

I simply could not have accomplished having the wedding of my dreams without Caroline and her team! Caroline went above and beyond in the months leading up to the wedding in taking care of many small details that I would have never even thought of! She combed through contracts, kept up to date with vendors, made suggestions based on her years of expertise, and took so many things off of our plates. When things would arise she would always offer to take care of it (even things that were definitely well outside of the scope of what we hired her for). She was always 2 steps ahead and made sure that planning was as stress free as possible for us. She had so many contacts that she was able to bring on board for us as well. On the day of, I swear she must have cloned herself because she somehow managed to be everywhere all at once! Her and her team were incredibly professional and became like a part of the family. Again, she caught so many things that we missed and made sure everything went without a hitch. She even found our marriage license that we accidentally left on stage following the ceremony. I truly cannot recommend caroline and her team at Volare enough. They are truly one of a kind and you really won’t find anyone better!!!!

She is so knowledge about all of the pieces that need to come together to make a gorgeous wedding and walked us through everything.

We had the pleasure of working with Caroline Gollner and her team for our son’s wedding with 350 guests at LaCantera on the weekend of April 26 and 27, 2024. Caroline was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and creative flair were exceptional.
From the planning stages to the big day itself, Caroline was there every step of the way, ensuring that every aspect of the wedding was perfect. Her calm demeanor and ability to handle any issue that arose were truly impressive.
The wedding weekend was flawless, thanks to Caroline and her team’s hard work and dedication. The decorations were stunning, the timeline was seamless, and the overall atmosphere was magical.
We cannot thank Caroline enough for making our son’s wedding a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Caroline Gollner and her team to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond to ensure perfection.
Thank you, Caroline, for everything!

Dear Chandra Family,
It was a sincere privilege and honor to work with your wonderful fam...
ily on your son’s wedding. I truly enjoyed every moment of planning with you, from both sets of parents to the lovely couple. You made the entire process a joy, and I am absolutely thrilled that the wedding turned out so beautifully.
The decor and flowers were indeed stunning, and it was a special highlight to collaborate with such an extraordinary team of vendors. Our florist, who flew in from New York before heading to the Met Gala, truly outdid themselves in bringing your vision to life. Seeing everything come together so perfectly was a dream, but what I cherish most is the connection we built along the way.
Your kind words about our commitment to detail and the seamless execution of the event mean the world to us. We strive to make every wedding a flawless and magical experience, and knowing that we could bring calm and confidence to your planning process is incredibly rewarding.
Thank you once again for trusting us with such a special occasion. I will always remember your family fondly and wish you all God’s most gracious gifts and a lifetime filled with happiness and joy.

Caroline made all of our wedding dreams come true. We used the middle package with her and this was exactly what we needed. She consistently kept our values in mind and prioritized them on our wedding day. Everything ran so smoothly and she was always professional. She has been in the industry for a number of years and had great vendor recommendations when we were not sure who to go with.
I would highly recommend her!

I cannot say enough about how awesome Caroline was through the whole process of planning our wedding! She is very detail oriented and cares about the planning process, making sure everything is just right. It was very obvious to us that she knew exactly how to plan a wedding and make the couple feel special along the way. She went out of her way to take care of us not only on our wedding day, but at all the meetings and venue walkthroughs before. She was flexible with meeting times, attentive to all the small things that were important to us, and had great music and photographer suggestions that were fantastic. Looking back on our special day, she was one of the main reasons it went so perfect and we couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Simply stated, hiring Volare was the BEST wedding decision my daughter and I made. Caroline had our best interests at heart at all times. She patiently guided us through a maze of decisions. Her recommendations were spot on and she went out of her way to advocate for us with vendors. Our trust in her was well placed. She was easy to get in touch with and addressed every concern or question promptly. For every hiccup that arose, she had a workaround or suggestion that only a seasoned professional would think of. My daughter and I had NO idea of the amount of planning and attention to detail involved in wedding planning. You really don’t know what you don’t know. With so much money involved, it’s smart to have someone advising you and making recommendations that help you stay on budget. There were so many moving parts and without Caroline… well, I shudder to think about it!
The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! There were sooo many compliments. Everything ran so smoothly and it seemed effortless. We know the amount of time and planning that she put into it though. Her attention to detail is ASTONISHING! She’s thinking 12 steps ahead of everyone. Every detail, whether logistical or design, was carefully planned and executed. The wedding day was stress free and joyous for our family because of the work she did leading up to the day and the actual day of.
If you’re reading this review, I assume you’re looking for a wedding planner. Here’s my advice….Hire this talented woman! If you’re looking for a professional that knows her stuff, your search is over. You just found her.

Caroline is great and very much was the “boots on the ground” for our wedding. We had a multicultural wedding and both of us worked out of town (with very busy schedules). She was organized, knowledgeable about vendors in the area, receptive to last minute changes, and helped us efficiently plan on our shorter than desired timeline. She is thoughtful and I would recommend her!

I was super thankful to have Caroline on our side during the planning and the day of wedding. She made my wife’s planning journey easier and less stressful. We live in a different city than the city the wedding was taking place in, so having her input on vendors in the area and having planned weddings at the venue we decided on was very helpful. Caroline was very organized and was able to work around our schedules to plan vendor meetings we could all attend, which I enjoyed because I wasn’t involved in too many details as the groom. Overall I know my wife and I wouldn’t change a thing about the wedding day and are grateful Caroline handled it all perfectly!

I cannot speak highly enough of Caroline. Out of everything we spent money on, Volare planning was without a doubt some of the best money we spent. Caroline helped me narrow my vision (I love everything, which is a blessing and curse!), suggested vendors that were both awesome AND within budget, and made sure my wedding day was stress-free. When one of our vendors didn’t deliver as promised, Caroline addressed the issue head-on and advocated for us to get a reimbursement. I was able to enjoy wedding planning and more importantly, enjoy my wedding day by just soaking in the day.
Our friends and family have said our wedding was one of, if not the, best wedding they’ve ever attended and a huge part of that is because we had Volare. Caroline answered all my questions, heard all my comments, and reassured my concerns. Do yourself a favor, hire Volare!!!

I am so so impressed and thankful for the services Caroline and her team provided as my wedding planner! I started my wedding planning late and Caroline quickly got me on track and in contact with multiple wedding vendors to get the ball rolling. She has so many connections to vendors she trust, which really helped me narrow down the top tier vendors I should be using. I had some issues nailing down the design vision I wanted, but she did a ton of research and really made my vision come to life on the day of the wedding. It was a breeze working with her on the design board and through vendor meetings as she was really able to communicate the vision I was going for. Caroline kept me on track and the tools she provided were so helpful in keeping all things wedding planning organized. From RSVPs to vendor payments it was so handy having everything in one place we could both access. Walking into the wedding ceremony and reception was a dream. She handled everything so professionally and executed the wedding to be everything I could imagine and more! Volare was the most important vendor on my wedding day. I am so incredibly happy I chose Caroline as my wedding planner!

If you want to work with a wedding planner, that knows all the best vendors to use, and can keeps all of the little details organized, I highly recommend Volare Planning and Design. Down to the last minute, Caroline and her team were doing everything they could to make my fiancé and I happy.
I know for certain that I would not have enjoyed my wedding day as much as I did w/o Volare taking care of everything in the background.
I started the planning on my own, and hired a couple months into planning. If I had to do all over again, I would’ve gone with them from the start. Despite the small window of time we had to get everything planned, Caroline jumped in and got me and my fiancé and my wedding on track. I know that I would not have been as amazing as it was without her and her team.

Caroline with Volare Planning and Design- is top notch. I spoke with a handful of planners, but from our first conversation, I knew volare was the answer for our wedding. She was thorough and insightful and helped me plan for unexpected. Our wedding went off without a hitch thanks to her coordination and communication.

Hiring Volare Planning was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding this year. Before finding Volare, it took me months to decide on things like a venue, vendors, and invitations. I knew in the last four months I needed help to overcome my indecisiveness and get things done if this wedding was gonna happen. Caroline was the perfect match for me; she knew exactly how much I cared about the little details and at the same time she knew when to hold me accountable to stick to our deadlines. While my husband and I did our best to juggle our full-time jobs and planning not one but three days of wedding events [we had an Indian Fusion wedding], the BEST day hands down was the Sunday wedding and reception which Caroline helped me with. Caroline and her team are seasoned professionals. She had the connections we needed when I wanted extra little details like a champagne tower and different decor. She reads through every contract and does not miss a thing when it comes to your day of plans. We genuinely enjoyed our day and were able to have a blast with all our loved ones because her team took all the stress away. Finally, I just really enjoyed working with her. You want to work with someone you can be honest with when you don't like something, and at the same time have trust to help you find the right vendors. Caroline was all of that and more. Seriously, hire her.

I can’t recommend Volare Planning enough!
I am not orginally from Texas. And made a mistake of buying a wedding package from the venue. The package included, photography, videography, wedding planner, caterer, cake & florist. The venue coordinator was paid in full 6 months before the wedding. But a month before my wedding date, she had NOT paid anyone and making excuses on why nothing was being organized or set up. At this point, I knew I needed to involve someone locally. I found Volare Planning thru The Knot. I told her of my situation and even before I put a deposit down. Caroline reached out to the venue to get information. Then she reached out to her colleagues who had worked with the venue to understand more about the place and see if my situation was unique.
She called me back and said, “Listen, even if you don’t hire me, you need to hire someone.” Evidently this place has a bad rep for screwing over brides. I was sold and said you are hired. Caroline reached out to every vendor requested for items needed & pricing for extra items. She even set up time to go to the venue to make her own layout and to meet the venue manager and myself. She stayed on the venue manager to pay the vendors and begrudgingly the venue manager did.
Every vision, I wanted for my wedding she ironed out for me. For example, 3 weeks before the wedding we found out the bartender, did not supply cups straws or garnishes. The venue manager never told me this information (mind you she was supposed to be the coordinator). Caroline found this out and calculated the exact number of cups and straws I would need to buy for my guest count. She did the same thing for the alcohol amount as well.
She created a timeline/agenda for EVERY vendor from the make-up artist to the caterer, etc. She even had a timeline for my wedding party
The day of the wedding she did so much. Here is a list although I am sure I am missing stuff:
1. She placed the favors, set up the candy bar, set up signage/gift table, cake table
2. Greeted vendors told them where to go
3. Any questions or catastrophes reached out to maid of honor or my mom.
4. Made sure everything was going by timeline.
5. When the DJ had the wrong entrance song played, she ran told him to change before we walked down.
6. Made sure the alcohol was near the bar
7. The venue was hot, she coordinated having coolers brought in
8. Packed all the food and had it for us the next day, including the cake for groom
9. Assisted with packing all the décor and items I brought up so I could pick up tomorrow
Last thing I really appreciated about Caroline. She was a listening ear. Throughout the process, she continuedly said “don’t worry I will make sure this day goes well” and she certainly did. I truly cannot recommend her enough. My wedding day would have a disaster without her. But with her it was PERFECT!

Thank you VOLARÉ Planning & Design for creating the most special wedding for us. Caroline and her team, were the most professional, attentive, organized and efficient team. From the very first time we spoke she listened to us and was very open in what we wanted for our wedding. She understood the importance of the event. Caroline helped us plan a wedding in less than five months, and we could not have done it without her.
It was very important for us to pay attention to detail and we could not have found a better planner to create the wedding of our dreams.
She helped us find the best team to work at our wedding, from RK Group for the food, Statue of Design for the florals, Lumen Events for the best Dj , invitations from The Girl General and more, everything was perfect for us. She understands her clients and their needs, and finds the perfect match of people to work with. We truly felt important and special, she was very attentive and dedicated to our wedding.
If you are looking for the most amazing wedding planner and are reading this review, look no further, you will love her and her work.

I am so grateful that our paths crossed and will never forget the day that you called me (on your birthday) to inquire about wedding planning services. I am so happy that you got the day of your dreams on the date that you and Nick first mentioned at our first meeting. We joked that it would be too soon to plan a wedding like yours in that amount of time, but we did it!! The wedding turned out amazing and you were a stunning bride! That gown!! I am on pins and needles to see your wedding pictures. Wishing you a lifetime of joy, happiness and God's richest blessings.
Love, Caroline

Volaré Planning was highly recommended by our venue, Hotel Emma in San Antonio for their ease to work with, high bar for design and detail, and responsiveness. When I got the call that the hotel had an opening just four months out, I called Caroline to see if she and her team were up for the job. A short conversation later and my parents and I knew Volare was the perfect choice. Caroline was ready to help us make quick decisions while upholding me and my fiancés’ vision for the experience. Throughout the planning process, Caroline and Brooke helped us select the best vendors and make strong choices on a limited timeline. I didn’t know our dream wedding would be possible given the timeframe, but they kept us on track and made it happen! What touched me the most was when we lost a family member one month before the wedding, Caroline and Brooke sent flowers, took on wrapping up the final details, and made sure the day honored our loved one while celebrating the future of our lives together. I knew they cared about me and my family throughout and wanted us to have a happy, beautiful beginning to our marriage.

Caroline was a blessing after my previous wedding planner quit on us at the beginning of the pandemic. I love that she is so organized and kept me on track with deadlines compared to my previous planner who had multiple side gigs and planning wasn’t her main job like it is for Caroline. She is very prompt with her responses via text and email which I appreciated since I am Type A, and with my previous planner it would take days to respond. I hired her to do partial wedding planning and design. She uses a program called aisleplanner and it was very easy to use and keep everything (vendors, design ideas, payment due dates, guest list, etc) organized in one shared area. Her itinerary was very detailed and she was a machine on the day of the wedding. She trouble shooted everything that went wrong and I didn’t even know until after the wedding was over! It was a very stress free wedding day which I appreciated. She ran a tight ship and let people know what they needed to do to get things done and move on to the next event. She even found our engraved champagne glasses that the caterers accidentally took after the dinner service. The wedding was beautifully designed and the guests were very impressed with the amount of detail. We incorporated Chinese culture into the wedding and it was very elegantly executed mixed with my wedding colors. She also coordinated our surprise lion dance performance for the guests, and everyone loved it! I am so grateful that she was apart of our wedding, it was money well spent to take all of that extra stress and worrying away. I highly recommend Caroline to plan your wedding.

I look forward to seeing your wedding pictures. Wishing you and Roy a lifetime of joy and Double Happiness! Love, Caroline

Choosing a wedding planner is probably the most important and special decision you will make when planning your wedding. This person will help you through the planning process and make your day seamless and beautiful. Caroline not only did this but went above and beyond. Our original wedding was supposed to happen in the midst of the pandemic, but Caroline was able to make arrangements with our vendors to reschedule the wedding not once, but twice! We somehow were able to have ALL our vendors for the new date. Being from out of town we relied heavily on Caroline for a lot of her recommendations and guidance. She always made herself available when we needed her, regardless of the time of day. If she was unavailable she would let us know, and follow up with us. On the day of our wedding, it could not have gone any better. Everything was gorgeous and we could have not done any of it without Caroline. I look back and could only imagine how stressed I would be without her. There is no one that can compare to her and we are blessed and grateful that she was able to be a part of our special day. Thank you so much, Caroline!
For those wondering:
We selected the "To Honour full-service package". This package was perfect! We are from out of town and as mentioned, we relied heavily on Caroline to help with items such as packaging and addressing invites, shopping for San Antonio welcome items, and other items that needed to be handed to our vendors. We did conference calls and met up when in town. On the day of the bridal shoot, weeks and days before, she communicated with all vendors who would be present. We also selected another package for a smaller event the day before the wedding, our Welcome Party. For this event, Caroline helped us with coordinating with the venue, finding a guitarist, and making the table arrangements!
Caroline also uses a software called, Aisle Planner. It was extremely helpful. My parents, myself, and my fiance had access to this for each event. We were able to upload photos for ideas, similar to Pinterest. It had a place for all our vendors and contact information. Caroline kept it up to date with our contracts, when invoices were paid or pending. It was also awesome since during this wedding planning I was in nursing school, I scheduled everything out. With Aisle Planner you are able to export the calendar to your Apple device or outlook. It made it easy to know when invoices were due.

Where to begin....Caroline is AMAZING!! Look no further and hire her to help you plan the day of your dream. My husband and I are both active duty Army and he was deployed when we started to plan our wedding. Caroline agreed to meet via video chat for an interview and we knew right away that she would be the one to help plan our wedding. We got married in Boerne TX, but when we started to plan I was living in Maryland and my Husband was in Kuwait. She even visited the venue for us, to make sure we would be satisfied with our choice from afar.
She is calm, extremely knowledgeable, and an absolute professional. She made our dream wedding day come true. She was always prompt and detailed in her responses. The "Aisle Planner" program that she uses to share with the bride and groom is user-friendly and really helped us stay on track. She gave us advice and helped us EVERY SINGLE STEP of the way, from the wording of the invitation to the most detailed rehearsal and wedding day timeline to my last minute requests and ideas. She coordinated with every vendor the week of the wedding, I was calm and assured throughout our time planning because of her. She is an amazing planner/coordinator and we feel lucky and blessed to have found and worked with her.

My husband and I had an extremely positive experience working with Caroline. As a former event planner, I knew that I wanted to have someone there for us on our wedding day to be the point person for making things run smoothly. And boy did we need help.
Our event took place on some family property, and, for the longest time, I was struggling to wrap my head around where the ceremony/reception take should take place, etc. Caroline helped us designate what areas would work best, and the flow of the night went really well because of her advice.
This is just one example of many in which Caroline lead us in the right direction (the best way to address our cards to mitigate confusion, how seating arrangements help big families sit together, etc.). We always walked away from our meetings with Caroline having a clearer idea of what we needed to do.
AislePlanner, the software Caroline uses, is also extremely helpful. It's an organization nerd's dream. And Caroline was a clutch resource when it came to creating our wedding invitations, too. She did a fantastic job of working with us until the invite looked exactly how we wanted it to.
The day of the ceremony, Caroline was EVERYWHERE making sure everything ran smoothly. Several people commented on how great she was, especially Mom and my husband. The latter hadn't been convinced that we needed a wedding planner... but wound up saying that the day would have been an absolute disaster without her. So there's that.
In short, I would recommend Caroline's services to anyone. Thank you, Caroline -- we couldn't have done it without you <3.

Where do I even begin... Caroline is absolutely the most excellent, professional and caring wedding planner (aka. angel on Earth) I have ever met! It is hard for me to put into words the love I have for her. She truly went above and beyond what I could have imagined and helped me to bring my (somewhat crazy) wedding ideas to life! From the very beginning, I knew I needed a special person to help me pull off the "Wurst Wedding Ever"... I interviewed 3 wedding planners, including Caroline. Right off the bat, Caroline was the ONLY person to catch that I had the wrong date on my save the date mock-ups (I wish I could say that I did this on purpose, but NO it was really just a typo!). Not only does Caroline have an eye for detail, but her sense of calm and great attitude truly helped me to let go and actually relax and ENJOY my wedding day...something that I thought would NEVER happen (as I am a very type A personality when it comes to design and I prefer things done a certain way). Another thing that really stood out to me with Caroline is that she told me, "I am your wedding planner from the day you hire me." That is something rare to find in this crazy wedding market, and she was not lying. Caroline was truly in my corner from start to finish, and I could just cry happy tears forever thinking about how much she has supported us through our year + of wedding planning. Every crazy wedding idea I had, she took with stride and did not let it phase her one bit. November 24th, 2018 was indeed the BEST "Wurst Wedding" EVER, and none of it could have been possible without Caroline. I truly believe that she is the best of the best... I would trust her with my life. Thank you, Caroline, from the bottom of my heart. With Love, Mrs. Conaway

We hired Caroline to be our "weekend of coordinator" for our January 2018 wedding, but she was far beyond that! I planned our New Braunfels wedding myself while living in Dallas and Caroline's website on AislePlanner was a very useful tool to keep Caroline and I on the same page. She used her rentals contact to get me a great deal on linens, plates, silverware, etc! We met with her twice in person over an 8 month period including a venue walk through PLUS months of e-mails, text messages and phone calls. Even though she was my "day of coordinator," she made sure I was on track through the whole planning process! We had a little under 400 people at our wedding and I know that isn't easy for any coordinator to deal with, but Caroline did an amazing job making the evening go as smooth as possible! She always has a smile on her face with a great attitude!

I had second thoughts when my son and daughter-in-law hired a wedding planner. I though.....we can do this! Wow, was I wrong!!! Caroline was absolutely wonderful and did everything possible to keep things running smoothly and efficiently!!! We unpacked supplies and left things in disarray Friday evening. By the time my hair and makeup were done Saturday morning, Caroline had the venue decorated beautifully!!! When the raindrops started falling, she efficiently pulled the vendors together and arranaged to move the wedding indoors, then 20--30 minutes prior to the ceremony, she obliged the bride and groom's wishes and moved the site for the ceremony back outside!!! Her kind and comforting words, calm demeanor, creative eye and firm control over the wedding event was a blessing to all of us!!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Caroline – she’s the best! We interviewed a dozen or so “month of” wedding coordinators in the area and she was so much more to us than that! We hired her because she was genuine, had excellent connections in the industry, had foresight into our preferences and what we would need, and used incredibly helpful planning tools like AislePlanner.com.
Throughout the planning process, even beyond just one month before the wedding, Caroline was very responsive and always answered my endless emails and questions. She was impeccably organized despite the millions of small details I was trying to arrange with a dozen vendors last minute and kept it all straight - while even catching my typos! In general, I think of myself as an organized person and I am incredibly impressed because she was well beyond me!
She thought of extra details that I had missed and always offered specific suggestions with pictures and links. Even more, she was a great problem solver – when there was something we wanted but the vendor couldn’t provide, she thought of solution after solution and always advocated for our needs to the vendors.
Caroline truly went above and beyond in all areas (from storing our wedding items to negotiating our tricky table arrangements to having her assistant assist with our champagne toast to handling all decision making on the wedding day) and I can’t rate her highly enough. Our wedding weekend wouldn’t have been the same without her and I’m so grateful and appreciative of her hard work. I highly, highly recommend her!

We recently had our wedding with Volare Wedding & Event Planning as a full-service wedding planner for our destination wedding on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Caroline listened to all of our needs and found us the perfect ceremony and reception venues, as well as a beautiful historical hotel for our us and our guests. When we went out for our initial search, she was was kind enough to take us on a Rio cruise to view the hotel properties that the San Antonio Riverwalk has to offer. It was such a lovely day, and really set the stage to the rest of the wedding planing experience. All of our meetings with Caroline were more than productive, and communication was always fluid and responsive. Ultimately, our day turned out perfect in every way. We had many specifics that we had on our wish list, and Caroline delivered the exact design and feel that we wanted for our big day. Without hesitation, I would recommend Volare Wedding & Event Planing as a full-service wedding planner. Our experience was impeccable. Thank you!

Do yourself a huge favor and hire this woman as your wedding planner! You will not regret it! Caroline was such a huge help in making our wedding day great. My wife actually ripped her dress just before walking down the aisle. All of a sudden, Caroline appeared with a needle and thread and sewed her dress right on the front steps of the church. Everyone was amazed! Caroline’s organizational skills and keen eye is impressive. Our linen order was incorrect, but Caroline corrected it. The caterer forgot to add the champagne glasses on our proposal, but Caroline noticed they were missing and added them. I can only imagine the other details that Caroline took care of without our our knowledge. She is a true professional in every way, and our day would not have been the same without her in the trenches.

Our wedding day was over four months ago, and my husband and I are still hearing about how amazing our wedding was. We have friends that have said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to! I have an event planning aspect with my job, however planning a wedding with all of the moving parts and intricate details was more than we imagined it would be. Our wedding encompassed three different locations (hotel, church and reception venue) with complex transportation details. Once we realized that we were in over our heads, we decided to hire a wedding planner. And, boy are we glad we found Caroline! Looking back, we would have never been able to do it without her. Caroline is pure organizational genius! She wrote a wedding day timeline that covered every single detail of our day, and her knowledge on everything from etiquette to music to innovative reception ideas is so helpful. She even designed our wedding invitations for us! Her expertise compounded with her vendor relationships made our planning simple and fun. We are forever grateful for Caroline and her team for making our day the best day ever.

We had our wedding weeks ago, with Caroline as our Day Of Coordinator, and I am STILL hearing about how amazing it was and how perfectly everything went! Five stars does not do Caroline justice!! I am a super detail-oriented and organized person, and wanted someone to take the reigns on our wedding day. In addition, my husband and I are both professionals and needed quite a bit of help planning the actual wedding. Caroline did that, flawlessly, and so much more. I could not have asked for a more attentive, proactive, honest, and hard working coordinator. She is incredibly thoughtful and a great listener, and as a result, understood exactly how I envisioned our day going. She is honest and gives feedback about ideas/suggestions on everything from vendors and food to palette colors and song choice. She is thoroughly communicative, and followed through with every one of our vendors throughout the entire planning process to ensure that our timeline flowed seamlessly and our contracts were appropriate. She keeps you on a timeline without you even realizing it, and sees potential conflicts before they happen. My parents and in-laws all raved about how professional, friendly, and talented she is! Caroline exceeded my expectations on every level, and I am not necessarily an easy person to please. I would recommend Caroline to any one of my family members or friends without hesitation, and am so grateful that I found her! Our wedding was an amazing and fun experience and it was largely due to her talent and skills. Thank you Caroline, from us and from our families!!

Very professional and kind. We were always met with a smile. My sister planned my wedding and was unable to help her out. Caroline took so much stress off my sister and made things really come together beautifully. I would recommend her to family and friends with out a doubt. Amazing job!

Caroline was great! I was a very hands-off bride during the planning process because I had started a very demanding new job and was in another city trying to plan my wedding. Caroline was extremely understanding and patient with me. Her vendor contacts are invaluable, especially if you don't know much about the wedding industry. The day of the wedding went flawlessly--I didn't hear of a single problem that went on behind the scenes because Caroline took care of all of it for me. All I focused on before the ceremony was my having a great time with my girlfriends getting ready and sipping mimosas.
Thank you again Caroline for everything!

My daughter's wedding was perfect in every way and that was all because of Caroline. She was so wonderful to work with and thought of everything! From the day we first met with her until the wedding reception was over, she was tireless in her attention to detail, her smooth organization of everything, and her unfailing patience and upbeat outlook. As the mother of the bride, I was very stressed and she always managed to calm me and make me feel everything was going to be great. And it was! She was so easy to work with and was always very quick to respond to calls or emails, even when she was out of town. She negotiated with our vendors to get the best prices and just did a top notch job of staying on top of everything. The day of the wedding, I got to enjoy mimosas with the bridal party while Caroline set up the candy buffet and all the tables and decorations. She is the best! If you want your perfect wedding, she's the one who will get it done!

The Hawaiian traditions in Courtney and Chris's wedding were so unique, and their wedding video was absolutely breathtaking. Made me cry more than once!!! Let me just that.
Lots of love to you all, and Happy Marriage!
