Victoria A. Sent on 03/03/2024Forever grateful for Carrie!
My husband and I worked with Carrie to plan our wedding at Club Pelican Bay in Naples and she was an absolute pleasure to plan with! It was so reassuring to work with Carrie. She’s been in the industry for over 15 years and she has established solid relationships with all of the best vendors in SW Florida. We were thrilled with everyone she suggested and felt so at ease knowing that all of our vendors had been to our venue several times. Carrie is incredibly calm, personable, creative, and accommodating. We decided to throw an after party relatively late in the planning process. She had the best suggestions and moved super quickly to make our vision come to life. We felt the least amount of stress on our wedding day because of Carrie’s calm aura, expertise, and coordination. Everything felt seamless and super organized. We will be forever grateful for Carrie! -

I could not be more grateful that we hired Carrie Darling as our wedding planner!! I am quite an anxious person and was concerned about the stress of wedding planning (especially since it was a destination wedding), and I can honestly say, I was completely calm on my wedding day because Carrie had EVERYTHING handled. It was a pleasure to work with Carrie from start to finish of the wedding planning process. She truly cared about our vision for the wedding and provided exceptional vendor recommendations. I cannot thank Carrie enough for what an amazing job she did for our wedding. She has an innate ability to understand exactly what her clients want and translate that into what can only be described as a work of art. She thinks of every detail and provides an expert level of coordination. Carrie and her husband also created an amazing seating chart for our guests - it was truly a showstopper and an amazing photo opportunity for our guests! I can’t imagine having planned a wedding without her. Seriously do yourself a favor and hire Carrie! Thank you Carrie for creating a wedding day above and beyond anything we ever imagined!Carrie Darling Events's reply:

Best wedding planning in SWFL!
It is hard to put into words the Carrie Darling wedding process. From the first day we spoke with Carrie during our initial introduction to the conclusion of our wedding, we put our complete trust into Carrie to create the wedding of our dreams. She delivered on our vision perfectly, and created a tropical green oasis on what was originally a plain grassy lawn.
In addition to introducing us to our fantastic vendors, she communicated with them throughout the planning process to make sure they were aware of the things we were looking for and to ensure everyone followed the schedule she had put together on the day of.
She took all the stress out of planning our wedding, and was a great resource as we prepared for the weekend as well as on the day of where she made our day as easy and as fun as possible.
We couldn’t recommend anyone more if you’re looking to plan a beautiful and guest-centric wedding in SW Florida! -

Carrie was everything you could of dreamed for in a wedding planner! She made our day perfect, simple as that. She has the greatest eye and advice for design and made the entire planning process and day flow so easy and smooth. From our customized escort card display turned photo booth back drop to our ceremony flower wall used again in the reception area, everything was just perfect. Truly couldn’t of asked for anything better! We love Carrie so much! -

Carrie is amazing!
Carrie is absolutely amazing! I knew I wanted a wedding planner as I live in another state and had no idea what to do to plan a wedding! With Carrie, I got so much more-she is truly a creative visionary! She listened to our wedding wants, vision, and goals and created the most fairytale weekend! Carrie truly works with each couple to make their wedding unique and reflective of them. She is also so calm and collected-any moment of stress or "bumps" I was feeling, she so calmly brought me back down and helped navigate next steps. Everything was absolutely amazing thanks to Carrie!! -

Carrie is so incredible at what she does and a dream to work with! Back in March, our planned wedding in May was cancelled and we basically had to abandon our plans. We were being called more than ever to serve as a nurse on the frontlines, and my husband was serving as a military pilot. This just shows how kind and generous Carrie is because she got together with some of her closest vendors to plan a fully designed wedding for one lucky couple in SW Florida. It was more than we could have ever asked for! Her creative design and attention to detail is incredible. She is also always there for anything you need. On top of Covid-19, we had the possibility of a hurricane getting closer to FL on our wedding day. She already had all the vendors on board to move up the wedding before I could even stress about it! She truly goes above and beyond in getting every single detail perfect. Carrie and the entire wedding giveaway team brought more than just joy to our lives. I don't think we can ever thank Carrie enough for her role in giving us the wedding of our dreams and making it the gorgeous event that it was. You absolutely need her and her team by your side on your wedding day!! -

Carrie made our event absolutely amazing! She truly created the wedding of our dreams! We were originally supposed to get married in May but due to the pandemic, we had to make a lot of changes. Carrie was so accommodating to our situation and very helpful by easily adjusting any changes we needed to make. We would choose Carrie and her team a million times over! -

We had an October wedding at Marco Island and Carrie was amazing. We live in Minnesota so we had to rely on her for practically everything. She found fabulous vendors from florist, DJ, videographer, to photographer. She collaborated to make sure our vision was realized and exceeded our expectations. We could not recommend her more! -

Samantha K. Sent on 04/02/2020Carrie + Her Team are Amazing!
Carrie and her team were great. We hired Carrie for our NYE Wedding over a year out. Throughout the year we worked with her on design, vendor coordination and even built some custom pieces in her workshop. The custom escort card display, turned selfie backdrop was a huge hit! As well as our custom greenery backdrop with neon sign that was set up behind our sweetheart table. The escort card display was custom built displaying a champagne bottle that had been ‘popped’ and the bubbles had everyones name and seating assignment on it! Truly unique and fit the theme perfectly! -

Carrie is absolutely amazing to work with! I worked with her for a year to plan my big day. I signed up for her "Give Me Butterflies" package and could not be happier with my decision. ALL of her preferred vendors that I used were absolutely AMAZING. I had no issues with any of them. All were extremely professional, flexible, and punctual in communicating back and forth. I never once doubted that Carrie or my vendors would drop the ball on my wedding day. We spoke many times about my vision for ceremony and reception and wow did she deliver! Everything was exactly how I planned it to go.
On the day of the wedding, of course I was a bundle of nerves but Carrie did such a great job of working with all of the vendors behind the scenes and making sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. The JW Marriott in Marco Island is a huge resort and I was concerned we'd lose some guests but Carrie did a fantastic job in making sure all of the bridal party, parents, grandparents, etc. knew where to be at exactly what time.
Carrie is a delight to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone considering hiring a wedding planner. She helped keep me sane through the planning process and helped to give me the best day of my life -

Danielle Sent on 10/12/2019Carrie is amazing!!
We were planning our Naples, FL wedding from 1500 miles away in MA and I can truly say that we could not have done it without Carrie. It was crucial to have someone on site that really knew the vendors and the area and she went above and beyond in making our special day surpass all expectations! From coordinating with vendors and keeping everyone (including me) on task, right down to having a safety pin when my bustle broke during the reception, Carrie was amazing and eased all anxieties and worries! We could not have had such a fantastic wedding day without her! -

Carrie was a joy to help plan our destination wedding. Very professional, always in touch and helped our wedding stay on task and complete important details. My daughter and I both thought Carrie did a great job. All our vendors loved her too. -

I cannot recommend Carrie enough!!! From my first phone call with her, she put me at ease with a can-do attitude, bubbly personality and excitement for our day. I was an out of town bride, so I worked with Carrie over several in person meetings and lots of emails and phone calls. My mom was in town and Carrie would meet up with her for additional idea brainstorming and previewing and such. Carrie was always so calm and helped put myself and my mom at ease with all the details needed to bring our wedding day together. She captured the classic, timeless, yet "cozy" vibe we were hoping for. We were so pleased with every single vendor she recommended. The comfort of our guests was so important to us and Carrie helped orchestrate that everyone was well fed, had full drinks and had a blast on the dancefloor. Our guests have been giving endless compliments on all these elements. She helped transform our reception ballroom incredibly - her draping vision was so soft and stunning. My mother-in-law is an interior designer and even she could not believe the transformation!! Carrie planned our rehearsal dinner, our welcome party and our wedding day from start to finish seamlessly. I felt so RELAXED on our wedding day, which brides do not often say, and this is all thanks to Carrie. -
Kate Sent on 07/08/2018I would have not had a wedding so stress free or smooth without Carrie. She is an absolute treasure and will work with whatever you need! I credit her with helping make my wedding day perfect. I got so many compliments on the decor and flowers and she really made my special day special. Carrie is the best!!

Rachel Sent on 06/15/2018Where do I begin! Carrie was simply the best to work with- especially living outside of Southwest Florida. She was always great with communication and making sure my (now) husband and I felt confident and comfortable in all the wedding details. She goes above and beyond the call of duty- even made us a sign for the ceremony! My favorite aspect/quality of Carrie's work is that she truly listens to what you want and highlights the event around your style, taste and personality... while being incredibly organized with all details. You're missing out if you don't have her as a wedding planner!!

Christine Sent on 03/03/2018I wish I could give Carrie 10 stars!! She was absolutely INCREDIBLE throughout the entire process! We originally hired Carrie as our day of coordinator & ended up enlisting her for some of our custom decor pieces. With her husband Matt, she created & designed a mini tiki hut for our escort card display & a customized welcome directional sign. She ordered leis from Hawaii for our rehearsal & even laid the petals in a whimsical/romantic design on the beach for our STUNNING ceremony aisle. Carrie knows the ins & outs of the industry & is a creative genius when it comes to styling. She was prompt, professional & a wealth of knowledge about current trends & what would be the best choice for my wedding - given my vision and taste. She is attentive to your needs & willing to go above & beyond to ensure your day is nothing short of spectacular!! Planning with Carrie was always fun & her positive energy & over the top ideas made everything more exciting. She genuinely cares about your wedding day & makes you feel so special. There are truly no words to describe how grateful we are for all she did for us. She took care of EVERYTHING so we did not have to worry. She even hand delivered our stamped & signed wedding license to our hotel suite & snuck into our room & decorated it with flower petals as a surprise for us to come back to on our wedding night!! How sweet and thoughtful is that?!? Ultimately she took my tropical vision for my wedding day & really made it come to life. Her attention to detail & relationships with other vendors make her an asset to your team & a pleasure to work with! She handled all coordination with our vendors & ensured that the entire day ran smoothly. Without hesitation I would recommend Carrie, to any bride, in any capacity!! Her insight was invaluable & I knew I could trust her with any request & that she would make it happen! Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and it all wouldn’t have been possible without Carrie!!! -
