Weddings and Events by Vivian

Vivian was absolutely wonderful to work with and was essential in making our wedding day go smoothly!! From our first conversation, Vivian made us feel like a part of her family. Throughout our planning process, she was thoughtful, full of experience, organized, and well prepared. We chose Vivian’s partial planning package. She was so helpful in keeping us on track as we planned the wedding and provided us many wonderful tips, tricks, advice, and recommendations. We are so thankful she was a part of our day!

Vivian’s attention to detail was evident every step of the way with the planning of our daughter’s wedding. She set our minds at ease from the initial planning to the final event. The wedding day went off flawlessly and we were able to thoroughly enjoy every moment! Thank you so much, Vivian!! You’re the best!

Vivian is the BEST wedding coordinator! While helping my daughter plan her wedding, Vivian was there for us every step of the way! Her communication with us and the vendors was beyond impressive! Rarely was there a time we called and she didn’t answer immediately! From the big decisions to the smallest detail, Vivian provided suggestions and had answers for all of our questions! As the wedding approached, she contacted the vendors for us and coordinated a wonderful day for our daughter and her husband! We highly recommend Vivian especially if you are looking for someone to work hard for you and provide an stress-free wedding experience! We enjoyed working with Vivian so much we consider her a friend now!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Vivian. From the moment we met, they were organized, attentive, and full of creative ideas that perfectly aligned with our vision. Their professionalism and calming presence made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free. On our wedding day, everything was flawless, from the décor to the timeline coordination. Our guests were in awe, and we were able to fully immerse ourselves in every moment knowing everything was taken care of. Hiring Vivian was the best decision we made for our wedding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a planner who truly cares about making dreams come true.

Vivian is amazing! She is so knowledgeable and she guided my daughter and I through the wedding planning process. She was always available for any questions we had, she offered referrals when needed, reviewed contracts from other vendors, etc. She is so organized and on top of everything. The day of my daughter’s wedding, my daughter and I were not worried or stressed at about anything We knew Vivian had it and the wedding would be beautiful!. Which it was! She takes care and thinks of everything. Just as the groom and groomsmen were about to start taking pre-wedding pictures, the button on the groom’s jacket came off. Vivian was right there with her pre threaded needle to sew it back on the jacket so that the photographer could stay on schedule. This is one simple example of the attention you receive from Vivian. There is more involved with planning and especially being the Day of Coordinator than I realized. Vivian is the BEST! You cannot go wrong with having Vivian as part of your wedding team.

To say this was the best day ever is an understatement and it would not have been such a success if it wasn’t for Vivian and Rachel! I had imagined things going wrong in my mind leading up to this day because I’ve always heard that something goes wrong, but with Vivian’s attention to detail I can 100% say that my wedding day was the most perfect and seamless day. From the beginning you could see how passionate Vivian is about what she does and making sure that everything is perfect and I can say that working with her truly made the day perfect. Vivian was always there for me and other members of my wedding party and family and made sure everyone had what they needed at all times. I am so thankful that I had Vivian on this day and for her kindness and passion. I could not have done it without her!!!

Detailed, thorough, personable and Vivian will jump through hoops to make your day extra perfect. She's the best. Hire her.

Vivian was the absolute best to work with for my daughter’s wedding. She was there for every step, quickly responded to any questions/concerns/text & made her day go so smooth! Highly recommend Vivian!! 😊 10/10

Soooo helpful and insightful. Was a total advocate for everything I needed and mad things happen!!

We happened to stumble upon Vivian via her Instagram page and knew we NEEDED to have her as our wedding planner for our wedding in Nashville! Vivian was beyond amazing not only with helping coordinate with all our vendors from afar but was a huge help and support throughout the whole process. We cannot imagine our wedding day going as smoothly as it did without Vivian and so grateful that she agreed to fly out to Nashville, TN to be our wedding planner!

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review for Vivian Schneider, the wedding coordinator who made your daughter's special day unforgettable: --- I cannot express enough gratitude for Vivian Schneider, our wedding coordinator extraordinaire! From the first meeting to the final send-off, Vivian's dedication and expertise were evident every step of the way. Vivian's meticulous planning ensured that every detail, from the seating arrangements to the floral decorations, was perfect. Not only did Vivian manage to keep everything running smoothly on the big day, but she also handled any unexpected challenges with grace and professionalism, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration. Vivian's warm and caring nature made her a joy to work with, and her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the wedding was flawless. I cannot recommend Vivian Schneider highly enough for anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who truly goes above and beyond to make dreams come true. Thank you, Vivian, for making our daughter's wedding day the magical experience we will always cherish!

Vivian is the best! She made our wedding day super easy and seamless. Having Vivian communicate with the vendors allowed me to enjoy my wedding day.

Vivian is amazing!! Her timeline was absolutely superb and she had every detail planned out. Every bride needs Vivian!! A huge thanks to Vivian and her staff for helping make our daughter and son-n-law’s wedding everything they dreamed it would be.

BEST. PLANNER. EVER!!! Vivian traveled to Wrightsville Beach NC to coordinate our day of. We had discussed a lot of things prior to the day so she had a good plan in place. She arrived the morning of to pick up personal items to take to the venue as well as brought our flowers to our beach house for pre wedding photos and that helped tremendously! She was constantly in contact with us about any changes at the venue as well as the ever changing North Carolina Coastal weather! We had rain move in last minute and she kept our guests updated on our delayed ceremony as the rain was moving out. She was there for our day and whatever we wanted and I was insistent on having our wedding on the pier, rain or not!!! We did end up having it turn out perfectly with a little wind, but she was right there through it all!!!! She always gave her honest opinion on everything and kept us all in line and up to date all day! Our day turned out beautifully and we could not imagine having any other planner! If there was a hiccup that day, I didn’t know about it! She handles everything for your day with such grace and ease. She also designed us the most beautiful welcome sign! Hire Vivian and your day will be everything you could hope for and more!

Vivian was a wonderful wedding planner! We live outside of NC but wanted to return to where our friends and family were for the wedding. Vivian went out of her way to be extra helpful to us - even going to venues and filming videos of her walk-through to help us get a sense of the spaces. She kept us sane during the planning process by being so very organized. Her contacts and good relationships with other vendors helped us make good decisions and overall made the day run smoothly. She took such good care of us on the day of and was able to go with the flow as the event developed. She is also a designer and was able to help us make the signage at our wedding look amazing! I could not have asked for a better planner - best decision of our entire wedding planning process for sure!

We absolutely had the most fabulous wedding thank you to Vivian Schneider and all of your hard work! From beginning to end she was so wonderful to work with and took care of all of our wedding details! Her staff was on top of everything from beginning to end and made our day so special! Thank you to Vivian and her team for your hard work and dedication!! Our wedding day was the best day ever!!

Vivian went above and beyond to make our wedding a success! As I was planning the wedding long distance, it was amazing to have someone on the ground to run errands and check with vendors. Most of all, having Vivian there helped my mom be able to relax and enjoy the day. We had several guests tell us the wedding was the “smoothest they had ever attended”. Thank you Vivian and team!

Vivian is an amazing wedding planner!!

Vivian was absolutely amazing! We hired Vivian for both wedding planning and as our day-of coordinator and could not have been happier with her. We planned our wedding from another state, so Vivian was our "on the ground" helper. She sat in on all our Zoom meetings, helped communicate with all our vendors, and was always responsive to our questions and communication. Vivian was so organized and helped me to stay organized through the craze of wedding planning from another state. Her checklists and reminder emails were incredibly helpful! Vivian was always there for us with good advice, a great pep talk, a positive and willing attitude, and excitement. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and is great at it. On the day of our wedding, Vivian's team was incredible. We had a little hiccup with another vendor the day of our wedding, but Vivian handled it subtly and gracefully without my even knowing. It allowed me to enjoy my day totally and completely. Even after the wedding, Vivian worked hard with us and this vendor to make sure we got a partial refund after the events on our wedding day. Overall, Vivian and her team helped us to create the most special and beautiful day. Down to each little detail, Vivian's help, advice, organization, and inventory of decor made for an absolutely perfect day. Having Vivian there for us allowed my husband, our families, and me to enjoy the day without stress. Whether you need help with just wedding day coordination or full wedding planning services, you cannot go wrong with Vivian! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and is truly the best of the best!

As mother of the bride I knew I wanted a “day of” coordinator. After a year of planning, I wanted my daughter’s wedding day to run smoothly and to alleviate any stress or mishaps that could possibly occur. Weddings and Events by Vivian made this possible! Vivian is very organized, detail oriented and professional! She and her team were kind and engaging with our wedding guests! Having Vivian as the “day of” coordinator allowed me to enjoy this perfect day! I highly recommend Weddings and Events by Vivian!

There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Vivian. She truly made our day feel so special and stress free and I cannot recommend her enough. She’s extremely organized, great at communicating, and a true expert in her field. If you’re looking to hire a planner/coordinator look no further, Vivian is the one you need!

I am so glad I had Vivian as my day of, wedding coordinator! After a year of planning, I wanted the day to run smoothly and to be stress free. Vivian's organizational skills and attention to detail made it happen! She and her team were so kind and had such a positive attitude! They did whatever was necessary to ensure my wedding was perfect! Whether you need a full-service wedding planner, or a day of coordinator, I highly recommend Weddings and Events by Vivian!

Vivian and her team were absolutely amazing! I had an outdoor, at home wedding which took an incredible amount of effort and coordination. Throughout the wedding planning process, Vivian was always there to give a recommendation, advice, or pep talk. On the day of the wedding, Vivian and her team took the lead in assembling the space beautifully. They took special note of what I wanted and made it happen without a hiccup. Having Vivian there on the day of my wedding took so much stress off me and my family. This woman knows weddings and LOVES what she does! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planning or coordinator.

We are so lucky to have found Vivian to help on our special day! She and her assistant were a pleasure to work with. Importantly, Vivian made every effort to bring our vision to life and was very communicative leading up to our wedding. Thank you Vivian!!

My son and daughter-in-law used Vivian as their "day of planner" and it was the best decision! Vivian was amazing! She is organized, professional, detail oriented and such a hard worker. Having her on site the day of the wedding helped ease our minds of all the details that needed to be handled prior to the ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend Weddings and Events by Vivian!!!

Vivian was wonderful. I am the mother of the bride and details were driving me crazy. Vivian steeped in at twist the right time to help ease my mind. I was able to enjoy the wedding day while she handled it all. We would hire her again. As a mother of the bride it will be the best money spent.

I reached out to Vivian about a year before our wedding during the pandemic. Without ever meeting in person and only chatting on the phone, we hired Vivian, and I'm so glad we did. We knew we wanted a day of coordinator to take some stress off of us on our big day, but we had no idea what that really meant until our wedding this past weekend. Working with Vivian was such a pleasure and she went so far above and beyond our expectations. Leading up to our big day Vivian frequently checked in to see where we were at with planning and gave us vendor suggestions along the way. She planned out our entire schedule for the day and listened so carefully to everything that we wanted. Vivian also reached out to every one of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of our wedding, Vivian was all hands on deck making sure that everything went smoothly. She helped set up our tables and centerpieces, made sure everything and everyone were where they were supposed to be, and made sure that we stayed hydrated throughout the day, which was so important! She let us borrow some decorations and set up tools, and even brought an emergency kit full of anything you could think of. Vivian has such a kind soul and did everything that she could to make sure we had the best day ever. We appreciate everything that she did for us and could not have asked for a better coordinator. I can't even imagine what we should have done without her. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Vivian for any event. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you Vivian! Your personal service, timely communication, and attention to detail was much appreciated by this mother-of-the-groom. I highly recommend Events by Vivian to make your very special day, the one you always dreamed of. She helped deliver an unforgettable wedding day for a very deserving bride and groom. Thank you again!

I spent almost 30 years in the Wedding industry as a Professional DJ Entertainer. I'm now a guest at these events. I've had the opportunity to work with thousands of Event Planners and other vendors. With this experience, I have set the bar pretty high for others. This past weekend was my first time participating as parent. From my observations, a Planner has to work with EVERY aspect of the event, starting with establishing and understanding the expectations of the Bride and Groom. Without that first step, the entire process will be a struggle from start to finish. Then, the planner is along side the Bride and Groom for the entire process..(all while remaining nearly invisible to the guests)..until the last guest leaves. A planner has the responsibility to coordinate with all the participants. From the venue to the caterer, photographers, DJ/Band and Bridal Party, everyone has to be in sync to pull off the perfect event. While I cannot speak directly for my Daughter-in-law. I can speak from a professional point of view. Vivian is was one of most, organized person in her field. If you have ever witnessed a wedding party on rehearsal day, everyone comes together for the first time not knowing what to expect or what to do. And if you have seen young 20 somethings at a rehearsal, the Planner has to basically "herd cats!" Not every Planner has the ability or temperament to accomplish the basic function of getting everyone to pay attention. Vivian DOES! And she was amazing and seemed to have FUN with it. Every detail was handled flawlessly. All anyone really had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride! In the end, I believe Emily & Joseph could not have made a better choice! Vivian helped them put on THE PERFECT EVENT!

We contracted with Weddings and Events by Vivian to coordinate our wedding. Throughout the planning and organizing of our wedding and reception, we feel that Vivian did a truly outstanding job of managing the many pieces and parts so that we could just focus on our special day! She did a great job of asking us the right questions to ensure the event went just as we wanted it to. We also had several guests that asked us who managed our wedding, and we recommended her services to them. We can honestly say that she exceeded our expectations!

Vivian, with her professionalism and her attention to detail made our daughter’s dream wedding come true! She was very organized, creative and made sure that our daughter’s wedding was the “Best Day Ever”!! Vivian was such a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond, which just confirmed we made the right decision in choosing her!! Not only is she a great wedding planner, but now has become a treasured family friend!!

Vivian was amazing!!! She goes above and beyond and took care of all the big things, down to the small details I would have never even thought of. She is such a gem and willing to jump in any and everywhere if needed. I can’t thank her enough :)

I genuinely wish I had a better review to leave and I typically would leave it be. However as a previous bride I understand the amount of money a couple puts into every detail of their once in a life time dream wedding. I wish I had more reviews to look at when I chose this service. I hired Vivian to be our wedding day of coordinator. We chose The Grace package with a few added hours. I am a very meticulous person and had every detail planned before hiring a day of coordinator. I made it very clear I needed someone to make sure tables were set properly and our gift/favor/guestbook table was set up. Basically the visual design things I could not do (due to hair and make up). From the beginning little details were forgotten when we would have our status talks (ie first look or not ..which we chose not to do). Even after writing it down these details were never remembered til very very late in the game, which became very frustrating. During our first meeting myself and family members were taken back by the interest she had in the venue owners (family friends farm) and their property for potential other wedding she could “set up” versus spending time understanding what we wanted as a couple and talking to us about the wedding. Later on in the process closer to the wedding more and more things arose. I was in constant communication with my vendors. Vivian would contact them multiple times then proceed to contact me and tell me things/final numbers etc was not given to the vendor (which was completely wrong). She tried to copy my timeline sheet and small details of my wedding so she could give to other clients (or so I assume). A week before the wedding she calls my MIL (who planned, paid for and hosted our rehearsal) to remind her about attending the rehearsal. This was very distasteful and offending to someone who paid a good deal for the rehearsal / dinner. The week before our wedding I had to have a conversation with my fiancé about cutting ties with her. However since we had paid in full we decided to deal with it. I did choose to text her and let her know to contact my MIL from there on our about any details with the wedding. This was ignored and she proceeded to send me multiple text about things I had taken care of days or weeks in advance. At our rehearsal I had to tell her how to set up the bridal party because her line up was very off putting to the eyes. The day of our wedding I had to send my bridesmaid to check tables to make sure they were decorated how I showed (with photos) her how to decorate. Our dj, caterer and photographer coordinated the whole evening after cocktail hour. I believe I only saw her once when she asked if we needed a glass of water. The amount of stress I had from hiring this coordinator was astronomical. I almost had a panic attack due to feeling like we paid someone to coordinate the wedding and she did not comprehend any of our details. There are so many more things that were poorly done from forgetting that we paid her(in full very early) to harassing my mother (who paid for our flowers) about payments to the florist. I understand vendor payments are probably not out the norm for a coordinator to check on. However I told her my mom handled everything and Vivian continued. I genuinely hate leaving a bad review on someone’s business however weddings are an expensive once of a lifetime day for brides and grooms and I would hate for someone to have an awful experience that my review could have prevented.

Vivian was the best thing to ever happen to wedding planning! She was our key person for the wedding! If you don't go with Vivian, you are making a mistake! Very easy to communicate with; responsive; and she made us feel very cared for. Vivian is very LGBTQ+ friendly and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled to the highest degree!! She is a wonderful person to work with :)

There aren’t words to describe how amazing Vivian is. She is the FULL package!!! Because she is an amazing communicator she will be your best friend by the end of everything! She will make sure everything runs perfectly through out the planning process to the day of the wedding. When my oldest daughter got married I had no experience planning a wedding so I came into this with soooo many questions. Vivian guided me the whole way and made the complicated things easy. Although she doesn’t advertise herself as a florist, her love of flowers was evident because my flowers were EXCEPTIONAL! She did all of the arrangements and bouquets. She also made suggestions for the guest book and all of the little table accessories you never know how to go about doing or finding. She guided me in ways to help save money with many up-to-date websites, which was very helpful considering all things wedding are very expensive. She was a rock through this whole process and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone whether you’re planning a small party or large wedding . My oldest daughter had about 285 guests. The wedding Vivian is current helping me on, my middle daughter's, will be having less than 100. Vivian's touch has been so unique for each daughter. I have one more daughter... and Vivian will definitely be my first call when she gets engaged!

Vivian was an amazing asset to helping to plan a friend's 50th birthday party! She was SO easy to communicate with and was very punctual for our meetings. Vivian easily delegated tasks for the party committee to take on and always kept open communication between all of the members of the party committee! She easily took charge of the final details the day of the event and helped to make the event run SUPER smooth. I would reccomend Vivian for any event/wedding! I look forward to being able to work with her again for another event!
