    Full-Service Wedding Planner

    We worked with Kelsy as our full-service wedding planner and words do not describe what an amazing experience we had. She went above and beyond to coach us through the entire process ensuring things went smoothly and that our vision came to life. She was very knowledgeable of the wedding industry in general and was able to guide us through each and every decision. All of our friends and family involved in the process were thoroughly impressed by her and agreed she was a pleasure to work with. We went into the day feeling fully prepared and only had to worry about cherishing each moment together as she handled everything behind the scenes. We have and will continue to highly recommend Kelsy to anyone looking for a planner!!

    21st Night of September

    I worked with Meredith with C&D Events for planning my September 2023 wedding and she (and the rest of the team) were beyond helpful. Meredith was my month-of coordinator however she assisted me throughout my year-long planning process. She answered my MANY questions quickly and effectively. If she wasn't sure of an answer, she informed me of that but also reached out to other colleagues for assistance which I appreciated.

    There were a few hiccups however in speaking to C&D, I felt like my concerns were not only heard but accepted. They provided additional background and clarity which I appreciated as I can only see so much of what is going on from the client side. They went above and beyond to help correct and for that I'm grateful. I truly believe that they are a great team to work with if you're getting married in the RDU area.

    Seamless experience

    We were lucky enough to find Kelsy from C&D for our wedding! Kelsy was exactly what we needed in a full service planner. We planned our wedding with her from out of state, and that didn't impede her communication skills or planning at all. She was intuitive, thoughtful, and worked with our travel schedules to take advantage of times when we were in town to align with vendors and tours. She was super knowledgable about all the local vendors, and helped us narrow it down by presenting options that fit with our vision. She ultimately made the whole design come together and we absolutely loved it! On wedding day, our whole family was so impressed with her professionalism and how she ran the show. Not only is she good at her job, but Kelsy is so easy to get along with -- we've even met up with her after our wedding when she was on a trip to our city. Whenever people ask for our top wedding planning tip, we always say hire a planner, and if you're lucky you'll get one like Kelsy!

    Bride and Groom

    I can not thank Sterling with C&D Events enough. She is amazing. She planned and designed our wedding. She was extremely organized and very creative. Our wedding was beautiful and we had an amazing time. I really enjoyed working with her and loved all of her ideas. She also recommended great vendors and worked well with them all. We could not have done this without her.

    A BIG thank you!

    Emily Radley was our coordinator at McAlister Leftwich in Greensboro. She met with us several times, was always in touch via email or text, kept us calm and most importantly the wedding reception went flawlessly! Great job!!!

    Thank you Sterling!!

    I am SO happy I went with C & D Events for my wedding!! Sterling was my day-of coordinator for my wedding at The Bradford last Saturday and she went above and beyond to make everything come together. She was always so responsive and put me at ease leading up to the wedding, and worked with my last minute changes to make everything perfect while being so calm. The timeline moved along so smoothly and so many guests I spoke with appreciated how natural the ceremony flowed into cocktail hour, then dinner, etc. and that was all due to Sterling and her team!!! The team all put me at ease the day of the wedding as well and were so fun to talk to. I felt completely stress free once everything started which I was honestly surprised by, they handled everything so I was able to just fully enjoy myself!!! I cannot recommend C&D Events enough and definitely book Sterling if you have the chance to, she was amazing and is so sweet!

    Taylor Made Everything So Easy!!

    C & D Events made everything leading up to our wedding so much less stressful. Even if you are a great planner, and have all of your ducks in a row-- I could not recommend hiring this wonderful company more. Taylor made our day even more perfect than we could have asked for, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I am so grateful to her, and for the entire planning process. C & D Events was one of the best financial decisions we made, and I recommend them to anyone thinking about hiring outside help with planning/decorating!

    Wedding of our Dreams!

    We had a wonderful experience planning our wedding with Kelsy from C&D! She was available, attentive, friendly, and made us feel so at ease through the whole process. Everyone at our wedding commented on how smooth it was and well organized, not to mention fun!! We really feel like our wedding was the best day of our lives (so far!) and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I didn't have to stress about anything in the days leading up the wedding and that was priceless.

    Full service planning - best decision we made

    C+D was a life saver! They did a wonderful job of helping us achieve our vision of our perfect day in about 3 months. Don't underestimate the value of their expertise and making recommendations of vendors and restaurants. Everything worked out flawlessly and everyone work together like a oiled machine. We had a beautiful wedding - thanks for helping to make it happen, y'all!

    Alexia is the Best!!

    We started working with Alexia as our day of coordinator but she truly went above and beyond in everything she did to help us. Alexia helped us through several date changes and was always supportive and patient with everything. Alexia actually ended up working as our day of coordinator TWICE - once during an intimate ceremony on our original wedding date and then recently during our big celebration! Both times Alexia helped the entire planning process leading up to the day of run so smoothly and organized. Both days were so well organized and well planned and helped the day be stress free! Alexia truly was absolutely amazing. We couldn't have done it with out her and I am so grateful we got to know her and work with her!

    Amazing to Work With!

    As a fellow vendor in the area, I must say how much myself and our team LOVE working with the C&D team!

    Dana & Courtney have taken the time, love, and care to surround themselves with a professional, hard working, and wonderfully efficient team. All of the ladies are so easy to work with and communicate well throughout the planning process. They not only make event day stress free, but also super fun! You couldn't ask for a better team to back you up on your big day!

    You need a wedding planner and you need Maggie at C&D Events.

    You need a wedding planner and you need Maggie at C&D Events. Maggie was 10000% the reason our wedding day was beyond a dream come true. From the time we started working together about 6-8 months out, she was always available to answer any questions and provide advice on what would work best. She provided us with templates to plan out the details of our entire day and met with us in person and on video/phone calls to go through them together. And let me tell you, there’s A LOT that goes on with a wedding that you don’t think about or realize until you’re planning but she made it fun and exciting! Maggie clearly knows the wedding industry through and through and truly cares about her couples. She got to know us very early on and understood that we just wanted to have fun at our wedding and the reception but didn’t have many specifics in mind. I gave Maggie a very very vague idea of what I thought I wanted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to look like and she, along with her 2 amazing assistants, executed it better than I could have ever imagined! They were always available for us during our wedding day with a glass of water, a band-aid, re-bustling my dress, and anything else we might have needed. Maggie planned our entire day and ensured everything went to plan with our photographer, videographer, and DJ. All of our personal items were placed either in our car or our room and they even left us food and cake in our room for after the reception! I could go on forever about how excellent Maggie was; I might actually miss wedding planning but only because of her and her wedding expertise.

    The Best!!

    Best decision we made! Becca made our dream wedding come to life! She was a calming force throughout the entire process, and our wedding turned out more perfectly that we could have imagined. The entire planning process ran smoothly, and the day of the wedding was stress-free. Everyone in our wedding party mentioned how much they loved her! And all of our guests told us what an amazing time they had, and how beautifully planned it was - all thanks to Becca! We are so thankful that we found her.

    Choose C&D for the Best Day!

    Kelsy was fantastic to work with. She is very organized and detail oriented which is great when you need someone to help turn the ideas and thoughts in your head into actual elements. She was great at communicating from the beginning of our working relationship and answer all of my questions throughout the planning period. As we approached the day she took over communication with all of the vendors to make sure that everyone was on top of their details and our timeline was set up perfectly. On the day Kelsy, and Natalie (who came to help), were key in keeping us on track and organizing all the random details that would usually get lost in the weeds. I'm incredibly thankful to Kelsy and the C&D team for helping to create the perfect event and the best wedding day!

    Caroline is incredibly competent and professional and did a WONDERFUL job!!

    We worked with Caroline at C&D Events and cannot rave enough about how incredible our experience with her was! When we initially hired a wedding planner we did not anticipate how extremely valuable her services would be. Throughout the entire process, Caroline was kind, professional, and responsive and continuously put us at ease with how competent she was. She took the time to learn our personal story and asked about our preferences to make sure that she understood what we wanted and helped us create the most wonderful and personalized wedding.Whenever we mentioned something that we wanted, even if it was just briefly in passing, Caroline would remember, make note of, and execute it to perfection, it was amazing! We ended up having to postpone our initially planned wedding due to COVID and Caroline walked us through the entire process of rescheduling and made it all as low-stress as possible. We had a significantly decreased amount of anxiety leading up to our wedding because we had absolute trust that Caroline had everything under control. On the day of our wedding, Caroline took care of all of the logistics and executed our vision to perfection in regard to the set up and decoration so that all we had to focus on was spending time with our guests and enjoying ourselves. Caroline pays attention to every single detail and has an incredible eye for making everything come together into a cohesive and beautiful wedding. We were extremely happy with our experience with Caroline and C&D Events and cannot recommend them highly enough!

    The BEST decision I made

    From helping with family drama to calming me down when he almost deployed the week before, Caroline was truly the backbone of our wedding. She was able to help us plan our wedding during the pandemic and always kept us in the loop on updated policies and changes. She made me feel like her number-one priority, even when she was bringing a little one into the world!
    Caroline was there for us every step while staying organized and calm. She was extremely responsive throughout the planning process and made great vendor suggestions, making our day incredibly special. Even on the day of, she was attentive and kept the day running seamlessly. We received so many compliments on our day and it was all because of Caroline and C&D Events. We cant thank you enough, Caroline!!

    Professional, detail-oriented, visual design dream team!

    Working with the wonderful women of C&D Events was fantastic. They set realistic expectations and bent over backward to get the job done. Their design visions were impeccably brought to life. They even endured not-so-fun wedding day set up and challenges with grace. I would highly recommend C&D!

    You will not regret working with this team!

    I absolutely cannot sing enough praises about Becca! She was able to help me plan my wedding during an unprecedented pandemic and I am still getting complements on how beautiful it was!

    She was there for us every step of the way, helping narrow down choices and asking questions that we didn't think to ask. She was very responsive throughout the planning process (and the wedding itself!) and scheduled regular meetings with us to make sure that we were meeting deadlines.

    I could not have done this without her! Thank you, Becca!!

    The Planners Choice

    As a wedding planner everyone asks me if I am going to plan my own wedding. Yes and no is always my answer. Hands down I know the importance of having a Day of Coordinator. When it came time to find one for our wedding I did the same research as every other bride. I looked up planners, read all the reviews, met with Courtney and knew instantly that we wanted to hire her. Courtney and her sister have been in the business for 13 years I believe, and she just got us. Her personality matches ours perfectly and entrusting her with the most important day of our life was easy decision once we sat down with her. We are thrilled to have hired C&D !

    Awesome experience working with Becca Taylor

    Working with Becca Taylor in planning our wedding was one of the best experiences I’ve had working with a professional. We spent approximately 1 year working together in planning our wedding and throughout that time we had to reschedule our date 4 times due to the pandemic in 2020.

    She handled the obstacles of rescheduling with grace and poise, and was so kind in counseling me through the process as it was emotionally devastating learning that my wedding was cancelled THREE times by various venues.

    Throughout the process Becca maintained true professionalism. She was always patient, kind, organized, and prepared for our meetings. She even handled working with some difficult family members like a pro!!

    One of Becca’s best qualities is that she listens intently and makes it her mission to fully execute the vision of her clients. From our conversations she was able to find the BEST vendors to make the vision for our wedding come alive! She even had the intuition to keep searching for alternative vendors when she sensed I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the presented options. She did not rest until she knew I was completely satisfied with our choices.

    When we finally secured our official wedding date at the Biltmore in Asheville, she had only 3 weeks to rebook all vendors, design the ceremony/reception sites, and pull together the reception dinner menu. She did all of this efficiently and made the process even look easy although I know it was a massive amount of work.

    To state the obvious, our wedding day went very smooth. Becca and her assistant, Dana, were so helpful with finding us last minute items on the “day of” such as ring sizers, makeup blotters, and guestbooks for the reception. Her assistant, Dana, also averted a crisis when my husband cut his hand on a bottle right before the cake cutting at the reception. Dana noticed this immediately and was equipped with bandages to remedy the situation without me even noticing anything was amiss. Simply amazing!! Becca and her team are always thinking ahead and finessed a lot of last minute touches that made our day perfect.

    I could give you so many more examples of how Becca made our day and overall experience unforgettable, but this review is already quite lengthy. It will just have to suffice to say that she is the BEST in the business at what she does and I give her the highest recommendation for anyone who is looking to plan a dream wedding.

    I hope to work with Becca again for all of my family’s upcoming milestone events. I am 100% pleased with our experience and cannot wait to work with her again! :)

    Whitney Davis is a dream!

    There are hardly enough good words I can use to share my experience with C&D Events and our planner, Whitney Davis. It brought me peace of mind to go into meetings with Whitney and be so in sync with our questions and details - especially in regards to contracting other vendors and services during the pandemic. Not only was she detail-oriented, a master timeline creator, and committed to our vision, but she was also a complete joy to work with throughout the entire process. As a testament from the groom, when my husband and I were making tough decisions about our wedding, we knew that we were going to have to give up some of our original plans... one thing we both agreed we couldn't give up: Whitney!

    One of my favorite parts of working with C&D is that I felt confident in their team of insanely talented professionals. Planning a wedding during the pandemic felt a little like we were "building the plane as we were flying it" - a process where having the right team becomes crucial. During our check-ins, Whitney would constantly say things like "our team has been brainstorming" or "we have figured out a way to do this safely"... Due to their collective creativity and experience, I knew that I was getting the benefit of not only the planner I hired, but the entire C&D team and their network of industry professionals. We were able to seamlessly transition our large hotel ballroom celebration into an intimate dinner reception at a local restaurant in a matter of days. Whitney was essential to this process by making sure that the transition was safe, legal, and protected the original vision of what we wanted for our wedding day. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how perfect the evening was! Thank you Whitney and all those at C&D!

    Made for a seamless, stress-free day

    Using Courtney from C&D as a Weekend Coordinator is probably the best decision I made around my wedding. It meant so much to have someone who ensured everything went off without a hitch and I didn't have to stress over any of the details of the day.

    Allison Mullin, bride

    Amazing to work with! Our planner when above and beyond, as we were getting married during COVID. She not only helped us plan, but also cancel and replan wedding about 3 times! Our wedding would not have happened without her!!! She took on way more than was expected :-)

    Thanks C&D!

    I had a great experience with Courtney from C&D Events. Courtney was my full planner and she was very helpful and always responsive to my requests, questions, etc. She has a ton of experience and really helped ease my stress knowing that she had everything under control.

    On the day of the wedding, I hardly saw Courtney at all which is exactly how it should be! Everything went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy our day knowing that Courtney and her team were handling all the details behind the scenes.

    Had a fabulous experience with Dana at C&D!

    We could not say enough positive things about our experience with Dana at C&D! We did the full service with them and also asked her to help with our rehearsal dinner party and found it to be a great value. Our entire weekend went off without a hitch, thanks in no small part to Dana. She was organized, reliable, thoughtful, always available and extremely helpful. She was anticipating anything we could ever need, all while being incredibly unobtrusive on the day and blending right in with family and friends. We received countless compliments on the design, the flow of the weekend, and how helpful Dana and her staff were. We would recommend Dana and C&D to anyone wanting excellent service at a reasonable price point.
