  Carrington is THE BEST!

  I consider myself so incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Carrington while planning my wedding. I went into the planning process not knowing how much work goes into creating the perfect wedding and reception. I am SO thankful that I had Carrington along the way. She saved me so much time by suggesting certain vendors and then working with those vendors up through the wedding day. She’s a wedding expert and she made sure that every single thing, right down to the smallest detail, was planned for and perfect. And her creativity is off the charts. She dreamed up a tulip chandelier for the reception and I was obsessed with the idea after she presented it to me. She then worked with the florist to create it and, well, it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Two months later, I still have wedding guests telling me how amazing it was. I also still have wedding guests telling me how beautiful the entire event was, and it’s all because of Carrington. I’m not a creative person and my wedding would’ve been so boring without her. But instead, so many people have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Carrington. I could go on and on and on and on about how amazing she is. I don’t know how I got lucky enough to have her as my wedding planner, but I’m so glad I did! I would recommend her to anyone. You would be the luckiest bride ever to get to work with her!!!

  Carrington/McLean Events

  I don't even know where to begin describing my experience with Carrington/McLean Events. My husband and I got married 6/12/21 and we worked with Carrington over the last year. In addition to being incredibly organized, responsive, diligent, timely in her communication, and amazingly skilled at collaborating across the multitude of vendors that make a wedding day happen, she is simply a joy as a person to have by your side on this journey. She made sure that anything that needed done got DONE and you never had to worry or doubt that she could make it happen. Carrington is so purely genuine and compassionate and wants your day to be more perfect than you can imagine. Throughout our wedding journey Carrington would check in with me, diffuse my stress and anxiety, and just warm me with her spirit and heart. There were so many moments of emotion on my wedding day and it was such a joy to see Carrington ever-present, ready with a tissue, a hug, a smile, or words of affirmation and encouragement. I always looked forward to our touch base calls and it brings tears of gratitude and awe to my eyes to think of how she truly brought the vision/inspiration/design to life!!!!! She learned about my husband and I and incorporated aspects of our love, our journey together to create our vision/aesthetic. When I walked into our venue I FELT the joy and love in every detail. Carrington is an absolute wonder and you would be BLESSED to have her plan/execute your wedding. Carrington is a consummate professional and a pure joy of a human being. I cannot say enough amazing things about her or McLean Events!! The quality of service was astounding. Thank you for making my wedding day the best day ever and for making my bridal journey so much fun!!!

  Barbara (Mother of the Bride)

  If 100 stars were an option, that would not be enough to characterize our experience with Mclean Events Charlotte's Carrington Buck. I call her the "tiny powerhouse." She was everywhere we needed her to be and she quietly, seamlessly, flawlessly executed details about which we had no idea.
  She was absolutely wonderful...professional, knowledgeable, competent, patient, creative, innovative, joyful, kind...
  ALWAYS there when we needed her....
  I could go on forever about her abundant wedding planning skills, but they pale in comparison to how she made us feel. She made our daughter's wedding the most joyful family experience...
  even as we worried and fretted, she patiently, calmly, confidently guided us through every step of the way.
  
  It was a joy and a blessing working with her. My daughter and I shared with her that one of the reasons we were sad that the wedding was over was that we would miss having her in our lives. We adore her and have officially adopted her in to our family.
  
  If you are planning a wedding, I would (and already have) highly recommend her to guide you through this major life event.

  Highly recommend! A+ experience

  We had an amazing experience working with Carrington Buck. She was an absolute life saver from day one. Our original wedding plans included 200+ people, but due to COVID restrictions we eventually scaled down to 30 guests. Carrington guided us every step of the way and did all that she could to make our big day very special, including finding us a new venue only a few weeks out when our original venue wouldn’t accommodate our outdoor reception. Carrington did an excellent job of incorporating our personal style while offering creative suggestions. Our experience was very positive as Carrington was so easy and fun to work with. She will take on as much (or as little) as you ask and is very responsive. We would highly recommend Carrington and her team to anyone looking for a helping hand during their wedding planning process.

  Made our day so much easier

  The whole team at McLean was a delight to work with, but Josie in particular did such a great job on our big day taking care of the details, keeping us on schedule, and making sure my husband and I were happy. It was such a relief to know I could relax and enjoy my wedding instead of stressing over the minutiae! Not only that, but our other vendors enjoyed working with her as well. Thank you so much!

  Highly recommend!

  Carrington and Betsy at McLean Events were our wedding planning saviors - there is no way our wedding would have even happened without them, let alone be as amazing and beautiful as it was. They helped us out with every step of the process and solved all our crises (especially those that happened day-of!) so that I could relax and actually enjoy my own wedding. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, go with McLean Events and you won't regret it. We cannot thank them enough!

  Saved our Wedding Weekend!

  Erin totally saved our wedding! We were left without a wedding planner three weeks prior to our wedding weekend. Erin stepped in without hesitation and made it so my husband and I truly had the best weekend! Erin told us we should feel like a guest at our wedding and we definitely did! I would suggested hiring McLean events to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

  Betsy Dohrer with Erin McLean Events was the day-of coordinator for my wedding, and I am SO fortunate that I had her! She is the absolute best and made my day perfect! We met a few times before the wedding to go over the plan, items we'd be using during the wedding, etc. We also shipped things to her because I live in Atlanta but was getting married in Chapel Hill. She was incredibly responsive and always so upbeat and positive. She handled EVERYTHING the day of the wedding. I didn't have one person ask me a question and everything went off without a hitch! If you're uncertain about doing a day-of coordinator, I highly recommend you do it and I would 100% recommend Betsy and Erin McLean Events!

  Betsy was amazing! I seriously don't know how people get married without her help! She made the day absolutely stress free (actually made the entire planning process stress-free) and kept everything on-time! She was a joy to work with and everyone who was part of our big day just loved working with her! I would absolutely recommend her services! Betsy you are the best!

  Carrington Buck was a delight to work with. She had great advice and did a wonderful job managing the logistics of our home wedding reception. She was very professional in dealing with the various vendors. We were able to enjoy our wedding weekend because we had confidence that Carrington was managing the details of our event.. She exhibited excellent expertise in dealing with tent set up,equipment rentals, tableware and linens, catering requirements, restrooms, and transportation. She also did an excellent job coming up with a timeline for the wedding day which helped us think through the order of events. Carrington was great to work with because she let me handle the things I was comfortable with,gave advice when asked, and took care of the logistics during the week of the wedding so that I could enjoy our guests.

  I had the BEST experience with Erin McLean Events and Carrington Clevenger Buck!!! I worked with them for a year and a half planning my wedding from another state and they were incredible from the beginning. Carrington and I frequently had calls and meetings to ensure that my wedding dream came true and every single detail was absolutely perfect. Additionally, Carrington had creative and fun ideas to make the wedding unique and customized to us as a couple. Not once did I stress the weeks leading up to my wedding about details as Carrington and Erin handled everything. As a result, I was able to completely enjoy my time with friends and family stress-free. Also, Carrington and the EME team had the best recommendations for vendors and handled every communication and detail with them. Members of our wedding party even commented on how friendly & easy the EME team was to work with the day of the wedding in terms of getting us assembled and staying on schedule. I would recommend Erin McLean Events to anyone I meet looking to plan a wedding in the NC area- they are the very best and I couldn't be happier with their work!!

  Erin is an absolute all-star. From start to finish there was never a concern that whatever needed to be done, it was going to be handled. From initial planning to day-of execution, Erin, Tia, and their teams leave nothing to chance and everything to diligence and quality. Erin's legitimate attention to the person, family, wishes, and everything in between (she'll piece out things you didn't think you needed, and find the gaps and fill them). I have nothing but good things to say about the team at EM Events.
  
  We never had any doubt that things were going to be perfectly executed, and our wedding was flawless.

  I literally feel like I did nothing for my wedding, Tia at Erin McClean Events asked me my vision and dream for our wedding and she made it all possible! I can't thank them all enough! If you want the most convenient and stress free wedding...these are your girls!

  I could never say enough positive things about Erin McLean Events to do justice to the amazing work that this team does. I received an excellent wedding from top to bottom from them. They are such visionaries and have connections to a lot of local vendors to make a beautiful wedding. Erin and Carrington designed the most beautiful ceremony at Fearrington that I have ever seen, and truly went above and beyond in that realm. What I was even more impressed with, however, is how amazing they were to work with. I did not get married under the easiest of circumstances - Hurricane Matthew rolled into town on my wedding day, ruining my plans for an outdoor ceremony. This didn't stop Erin, Carrington, or Betsy - they created a stunning indoor ceremony that was unlike anything I could have dreamed of. They spent all day getting soaked from head to toe, literally, to put together a ceremony fit to be in a magazine. The best part was that they were happy to do it, and never made me feel at all like I was asking for too much. I've never seen kinder faces or bigger smiles. It is clear that they love their brides and they love their jobs. I was blown away at their positive spirits, love of their work, and at how efficient they were with every piece of the wedding. They were so on top of everything, I didn't have to worry about anything at all. Everything from centerpieces to my hair that kept falling down was immediately handled before I realized it was time! I cannot express how grateful I am that I hired Erin to help me with my wedding. I am so glad that I did, and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. There is truly no one kinder, and no one more talented. My heart is full of love for this team.

  I could never say enough positive things about Erin McLean Events to do justice to the amazing work that this team does. I received an excellent wedding from top to bottom from them. They are such visionaries and have connections to a lot of local vendors to make a beautiful wedding. Erin and Carrington designed the most beautiful ceremony at Fearrington that I have ever seen, and truly went above and beyond in that realm. What I was even more impressed with, however, is how amazing they were to work with. I did not get married under the easiest of circumstances - Hurricane Matthew rolled into town on my wedding day, ruining my plans for an outdoor ceremony.

  I was a very laid-back bride who didn't know the first thing about weddings, and Carrington was the absolute best! She kept me up-to-date with what we should be doing next and what I should start to think about. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on. I was especially nervous about the hair and make-up vendor, as I do not wear make-up at all, but Carrington picked a lovely vendor who was perfect for my needs. I think my favorite part was when she showed me the reception space at the wedding -- it was everything I loved! I had had this idea of hanging flowers from the reception space area, but hadn't really talked about it much, and Carrington gave me a wonderful surprise with hanging flower beds (for lack of a better word) over each table. It was gorgeous. On the day of, Carrington brought with her an assistant (I think her name was Becky, if I remember right) who was absolutely wonderful and helped to take care of me as much as Carrington did. This shows that the professionalism I experienced with Carrington is prevalent throughout the business of Erin McLean Events.
  
  One of the things that really impressed me about Carrington and Erin McLean Events was the responsiveness. Carrington was a quick email or phone call (and even text) away throughout the months planning our event. It really felt like I was her sole client, though I know this was not the case! Our wedding took place on a Sunday morning, and Carrington had another event Saturday night; even with that fact, Carrington was at our venue bright and early!
  
  The main reason my family and I chose Erin McLean Events for our wedding was because we were assured that my family and I would be "guests at our own wedding." Carrington ensured that me, my husband, and my family did not have to lift a finger and that we could enjoy our special day. Given that I am a student and I live quite far from the Raleigh area, Carrington was essential to planning the wedding. I would highly recommend this wedding planner!

  As the father of the bride, I had the responsibility of financial transactions with Carrington Clevenger- Buck in the planning of my daughter’s wedding. As I live overseas, this had the potential to be difficult. Carrington arranged an easy method of payment to various vendors over several months of planning. She provided a spreadsheet tracker of all transactions and constantly kept me updated of any changes to the wedding plan.
  Carrington’s attention to detail, organization, and focus on the family truly made the wedding a wonderful event. I would highly recommend her services through Erin McLean Events.

  I don't think I could say enough amazing reviews about Carrington with Erin McLean Events! She truly made my dreams come true! From the moment I met her, she made sure that we knew THE day was about my now husband and I, and she would take care of the rest. And she did just that! She took so much stress off, not only myself but my mom as well! She was there for us, kept in great touch with us, and answered my millions (!!!) of emails and even my 3am text the morning of my wedding! She is not only the sweetest person ever but also extremely personable (which I feel like is a must when planning the day that you have dreamed about since you were a little girl!). Carrington is also very attentive and made sure everything went as we talked about. It was like a breath of fresh air and we were honored to have Carrington to take such great care of us!!!! HIGHLY recommend!

  Erin and I went to high school together and since we both ended up living in the Raleigh area, she was the first person I reached out to about wedding planning. We exchanged emails and phone calls before decide what aspect of their planning services would work best for us. We chose the "weekend of" coordination. Carrington was our assigned planner and she reached out to us. She was willing to meet on weekends and after hours due to our schedule with work and our 3 year old daughter. We had multiple phone calls and face to face meetings and while she did not design our wedding she was very helpful in where I should focus and where it wasn't as necessary. I dropped off car loads of centerpieces and ceremony decor to her office the week of the wedding. While I was glad to have it out of my house it is nerve wracking to spend all this time on something and hope you've done a good enough job conveying your thoughts so someone else would make it happen. AND SHE DID!! The ceremony was exactly how I envisioned it, the centerpieces came together beautifully, and Carrington was on top of making sure everyone was where they needed to be. I had compliments from family about her organization and personal way of dealing with the chaos of the rehearsal and wedding day. Guests complimented us on how smoothly things ran and how there weren't any gaps throughout our transition times. We came back from our honeymoon to a hand drawn and water color painting of my bouquet with a beautiful card from her. It's sweet touches like that that make working with Erin and Carrington such a pleasure. It was money well spent and we would do it again a thousand times over.

  I worked with Nicole at Erin McLean events for my wedding. I actually came across Nicole when my original day-of coordinate didn't work out. It was less than a month to my wedding date, and Nicole was referred to me by my venue coordinator. Can I just say that was one of the best decisions of my wedding planning experience. Nicole swept in and took control of the final planning steps and relieved building stress and to-do's that had piled up. Nicole was professional, fun, and my parents adored her too. Everyone was so glad I found Nicole to fun a flawless wedding day. My only regret was not bringing her on sooner!!

  I was planning my wedding from outside North Carolina so I knew from the beginning that I was interested in getting a wedding planner, if possible for me to a planner with whom I could work well. I was lucky enough to find Nicole Goodrich, currently a member of the Erin McLean team. She is incredible, and I couldn't have found a better support. She was detailed, knowledgeable and really was fantastic at helping make my vision reality. Also, when Hurricane Joaquin decided to crash the wedding, she was so great and calming while locations and details were constantly changing. I cannot recommend Nicole enough.

  My experience with Erin Mclean Events was excellent from start to finish. I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Goodrich and her attention to detail, fantastic energy, and creative problem-solving skills are the makings of a true wedding planner. She will think of anything you haven't, and she's great to bounce ideas off of in the planning process. She is always quick to respond to emails and on the day of the wedding she was extremely quick and efficient and seemingly on top of every detail.
  
  I also worked with Carrington in the beginning of planning stages and I would have been just as confident working with her. She was very warm, organized, and creative.
  
  I only met with Erin briefly but she was lovely as well. She is running a truly top-notch events planning company.

  We worked with Carrington to plan our Sunday brunch wedding in Chapel Hill and it was a fabulous experience! She was very supportive of all of our ideas and brought a lot to the table. She really put me at ease that everything would be taken care of, even though we were planning from DC, and it certainly was! I received nothing but glowing compliments from our guests and I could not recommend her and the entire Erin McLean Events team highly enough. It was a fantastic experience to work with them and our weekend was absolutely perfect!

  I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Goodrich as my wedding planner for my large Persian wedding in DC. Nicole was so wonderful to work with from the very beginning. She was excellent at managing the various personalities of my vendors and family and effortlessly made sure everyone got along and that my wishes were met. It is not easy for me to let go of control and I completely trusted Nicole and she completely delivered! It was a large wedding with several vendors and many details that needed to be executed for the night to run smoothly. Nicole put in so much work behind the scenes to orchestrate with the vendors in advance and also on the wedding day. It was a traditional Persian ceremony and Nicole learned what that entails and even perfectly executed the "Sofreh Aghd" on the wedding day. She remained calm and organized on the wedding day and the day went by so smoothly. Nicole was my favorite vendor and one that I will recommend over and over again. She was worth every single penny and the day simply would not have been the spectacular day it was without her!!
