    Created a fairytale!

    Marcie, Taylor, and Shelley were absolutely amazing! Marcie was my lead planner and helped me plan everything. She had great recommendations and answers to all of my questions! Her passion, organization, and knowledge made our wedding a true fairytale. We could not have imagined anything more perfect. I highly recommend Social Butterfly to anyone!!

    Perfection

    We had a wonderful experience working with Marcie and her team! We were an out of town couple doing a destination wedding looking for a team to help make our day perfect and social butterfly events made that happen! Our wedding day wouldn’t have been so special without their services!

    Best Day Ever!

    My husband and I literally had the best day of our lives on our wedding day. I would not change a single thing. Marcie and the team executed everything flawlessly while making sure we always had a smile on our faces. During the planning process Marcie kept us organized and on track, calm, and had a solution for any and everything. Thank you Social Butterfly for making our wedding more perfect than we could have ever planned!

    Marcie and Brittney are Amazing!

    I highly recommend Social Butterfly if you're looking for a day of coordinator and any planning help. Marcie was amazing. Her checklists and day of timeline kept us organized leading up to the wedding and allowed us to not worry about ANYTHING on the big day. Special shout out to coordinator Brittney as well, who handled our day of rain situation flawlessly. The Social Butterfly team really made our wedding vision come to life and were a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process.

    Wonderful and Capable Team!

    I highly recommend Marcie and Social Butterfly Events for wedding planning and day-of coordination. I felt like I was in capable hands the entire wedding planning process! She was responsive, has a great attitude, and provided great advice from years of experience, all of which was beyond helpful as I had soo many questions :) All the vendors we worked with were absolutely incredible and we would recommend them to anybody and everybody. Our wedding day was flawless and completely stress free, which is saying a lot considering Hurricane Ian swept through on our wedding day. Thanks to Marcie and her team handling all the last minute changes, details, and stressors, we were able to completely enjoy our day and not worry about a thing!

    If you're looking for a planner to deliver your dream wedding - you found them, stop looking! Five stars aren't enough for Social Butterfly Events!

    I honestly can't say enough positive things about Social Butterfly Events - Charyl, Marcie and the team were absolutely OUTSTANDING throughout every single step of the planning process and were such a large part in our perfect (literally - PERFECT!!!) day! From day one, I knew in my gut I had to book Social Butterfly because 1. This team came HIGHLY recommended to me 2. Their design portfolio of previous events were UNREAL and 3. They sounded so much FUN and I knew they were going to do everything in their power to match the exact vision my husband and I had, and I must say they delivered!

    The entire process of working with this team exceeded my expectations - from answering EVERY. SINGLE. QUESTION I had (and in a timely manner), to lining up the literal dream team of vendors, to helping guide my overall design to be out of the box but still something I like, to making the WORLDS LONGEST HEAD TABLE work out in the most beautiful way, and everything in between, they were such a joy to work with and I wouldn't have changed one thing.

    Marcie, Charyl and team - I can not say thank you enough! You gave me and Kyle our dream wedding and we are eternally thank you.

    To anyone currently looking for a planner - you found them, stop looking!!! Your planner is hands down one of the most important vendors to book for your wedding day and I promise you will not be disappointed with this team!

She handled everything so professionally but with so much charm & character. She kept the day so calm & enjoyable. The best money I spent...Well worth every penny. We love you Charyl❤️❤️❤️

    Amazinggg x100000

    Planning a wedding during covid-19 is definitely not ideal. However, Charyl helped us so much during the process I do not know what we would have done without her. She gave great insight planning a wedding during this time. We had several vendors cancel due to covid-19, Charyl was on it and found us replacements right away. I have to say the replacement vendors she found were also ON POINT. I told her I wanted our wedding to look like a magazine and boy did she deliver. She knew I was a very visual person and wanted to see pictures of everything. She did just that. She has an eye for design! Social Butterfly events planned us our dream wedding!

    Best choice we made!

    Hiring Charyl was the best choice we made for our wedding! She knows weddings and Wilmington inside and out, and she knows how to put brides and grooms at ease. With every question, and every concern, Charyl had an answer and a solution. We had some last minute hiccups wedding week, but Charyl had a plan in place before I had time to worry, and things turned out even better! If the planning wasn't smooth enough, the actual wedding day was even smoother. Our families didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of the wedding, thanks to Charyl's detailed plan and incredible team. Our wedding will forever be our favorite day, and the knockout details and execution are all thanks to Charyl's incredible planning! All of the wedding perfection aside, Charyl is also an incredible person. She's kind, she's brilliant, she's talented, and she genuinely cares about her clients and her vendors. If you're looking for a wedding planner turned dear friend, Charyl is your woman!

    Absolute best choice you can make!

    As someone who had never imagined getting married, starting to plan a wedding seemed beyond overwhelming. When we found Charyl, we knew we were in great hands! From helping us navigate what we did and didn't like/want, to guiding us on where to save and where to spend, Charyl was able to assemble an amazing team that brought our dreams to reality! On the day, she willed-away the rain so we could have an outdoor cocktail hour & sparkler send off. Even our hair & makeup girls comment on how relaxed the entire bridal party is getting ready (my mom included!) - all because we knew Charyl was in full control of everything and we could just enjoy every moment of the day! The process was fun, the big day amazing, so thank you, Charyl!! You're the best!

    Don't wait — call now!

    Do not waste any more time and call Social Butterfly Events now! You will thank me later. The absolute best thing I did for myself and my loved ones leading up to our big day was to have Charyl on our side. She has amazing relationships with vendors, is great at working with your budget to give you what you want within your constraints, and is willing to do anything to bring your dream to life. I cannot recommend Social Butterfly Events enough and would trust Charyl and her team with the most important day of my life time and time again.

    So thankful we had Charyl!

    Our engagement/ wedding day could not have gone any smoother because of Charyl and her team! Charyl went over and beyond putting together our wedding day vision!! Even with rain the day of, there was no stress because we knew Charyl was on top of it! I cannot thank her enough for putting together our dream day!

    Social Butterfly Events's reply:

    You are the best Craven! I am not sure I have laughed as much as we did while planning your day! You and your family will always have a special place in my heart! Can't wait until your mom calls and says it is time for another wedding because I am ready and so is that angel feather tablecloth!

    Charyl is Amazing!

    Charyl is an amazing women with a sense of humor. She went beyond the call of duty to make my daughter's wedding a memorable event. My daughter is a creative person with interesting ideas. Charyl never missed a beat and was the main force behind making Hillary's vision come to life. She is connected to every vendor in Wilmington and with a phone call, she gathered the right people who made this wedding magical. She also kept me calm and assured me regularly that we were going to be able to pull this off. And, it was amazing! Simply put, we could not have done this without Charyl. I highly recommend her to everyone but especially to those who are doing a wedding in the Wilmington area and who live in another city. Thank you, Charyl.

    All you need is love... and Charyl

    Let's be honest, I procrastinated writing this review almost a year, but you know who does not procrastinate?? CHARYL. She is on top of things and never kept me waiting on anything leading up to our wedding day. She is a wonderful person to work with and if you'd like to have an amazing wedding where every little detail is taken care of and all you have to do is show up, get married, and party, hire Charyl. She got along great with our families and made our day magical. She works very efficiently and thinks of every little hiccup that might occur and her main concern is making sure that the bride and groom have the day they are dreaming of. She did a great job navigating the disagreements between my mom and I and did so in such a way that we didn't even know we had a disagreement. Lol. She provided excellent advice based about what I might like and knew me taste and likes/ dislikes better than I knew myself. I was also concerned about the timing of my music walking down the aisle and when my bridesmaids were walking a little slowly she told them to giddy-on-up and the music swelled perfectly as I started walking. I also asked her to pack some tupperware containers with wedding cake for Cale and I to eat after the reception and she cut some big ole' slices for us. Yummy. Teehee. Looking back at my wedding day all I can think about is how loved I felt, how everything flowed so well throughout the day, how Cale and I were taken care of at every turn, and how we were surrounded by the most important people in our lives and celebrating the beginning of a lifetime together. There were no harsh words, no disappointments, and no anxiety to mar the day. And for that, I can thank the good Lord, and Charyl.

    Charyl and her team are amazing!!

    If you are on the fence about a planner, Charyl and her team will put your mind at ease!! When I was first planning my wedding, I was hesitant about hiring a wedding planner but another vendor I hired recommended Social Butterfly Events. After my first meeting with Charyl, I knew that I could trust her with my important day. She was so personable and attentive to the style and taste I wanted for my wedding. Every meeting I had with her ended up being so fun! She took the guess work out of all the little details you don't think about when you are focusing on the big stuff for your wedding. My wedding hit one month after hurricane Florence here in Wilmington and I was so thankful to not have my plans affected except for the lack of money expected due to my family out of work. Charyl didn’t skip a beat during this crazy time and helped me cut corners without noticing changes to the over all plan and also made me feel like everything would work out! The two girls on staff to help on the day of were so attentive to my husband and I and they made us feel like we didn’t have to lift a finger for anything, which is how every bride and groom should feel. The day into night ran so smoothly and even gathering our belongings was a breeze for my parents, they pulled up my mom’s car and loaded everything including left over food and cake! I would hire Charyl again in a heartbeat knowing I can trust the event will be perfect and all I have to worry about is having fun!! Can't thank them enough for helping make our day so perfect!

    I can't say enough good things about Charyl and her team! Charyl knew my vision before I even knew it and worked to execute it. I would share an idea and she took it to the next level to make it even better. My wedding day was more than I ever could have imagined and none of that would have been possible without her. Her staff was excellent and ensured the wedding party and guests were taken care of from the minute they stepped foot onto the venue. I would recommend Social Butterfly Events 100x over!

    I started planning my May wedding in October, and my mom and I knew we needed a planner because I was planning a North Carolina wedding from all the way in California! I had a clear vision of what I wanted from the start and Charyl knew every detail that would make it happen - things I would’ve never thought of. I joked towards the end that I didn’t even know what it was all going to look like because I let Charyl handle everything and never worried about it! Florals were a MAJOR part of my day and Charyl made sure that everything was perfect! If a planner is something that you feel is necessary (especially for having a big wedding) I would 10/10 recommend Charyl with Social Butterfly!

    Charyl was excellent to work with! She made everything so smooth on the wedding day and before. I could not have done it without her and I greatly appreciate all her hard work. She knows all the vendors so it was easy to coordinate which ones we liked best.

    We hired Charyl for Day-Of-Coordinating. She and her team were such a big help - from setting up the reception space, getting last minute touches together, and making sure everything and everyone was right where they needed to be at the right time.

    A little late with this review but I used Cheryl for My daughter Kristina’s wedding in September, 2017. I had an amazing experience with Cheryl, she is very knowledgeable in what she does. She was able to provide us with a choice of vendors and on the day of the wedding she made sure to keep us all on schedule without stressing us. She is extremely professional and she did an excellent job and there are not enough words to describe how much appreciation I have for Cheryl for making Kristina’s wedding unforgettable. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator with style, class, professionalism you would choose Cheryl to plan your special day. Thank you again for everything.

    How do I even begin? Honestly, my wedding day was amazing all because of my amazing wedding planner, Charyl. There is no doubt that I am Type A personality. Match that with planning a wedding several states away. Eeeek. Charyl was quick to respond even from the beginning. I worry about things way ahead of time (thanks to the Knot wedding checklist). Charyl was always very patient and more than willing to accommodate us. She scheduled everything for us and met with us on most of our appointments. She provided helpful direction whenever I was in doubt. For example, I found a beautiful bridesmaid dress that was white and gold. Not the typical color that bridesmaids are seen in. I showed Charyl my inspiration and she was inspired too. It feels great when someone gets excited about a small detail just as much as the bride does.

    On the wedding day, we had a couple minor hiccups. First off, my junior bridesmaid/cousin's zipper decided to break. Everyone in the bridal party was freaking out. I simply called Charyl and she came right over and fixed the problem. She has the amazing ability to make you feel calm. She brings a small dose of humor to make sure you are always smiling. Even though she was planning for 2 weddings that day, it felt like she was always accommodating/checking in on me in every way.

    It is obvious that Charyl not only is the best but also works with the best. Since her and the other vendors work so often together, you can certainly see the perks when it all comes together. Everyone simply flows together. They have a plan before there is even a problem.

    There is no doubt in my mind that my wedding day would not have been as amazing if it wasn't for Charyl. It makes a world of a difference when you can tell that someone truly loves their job.

    Charyl was the best part of our wedding from beginning to end besides the end result of getting married. When my husband and I got engaged we had no idea where to start. We knew we wanted to get married in Wilmington since we had our first date there but that also meant a destination wedding since we lived in Charlotte. I researched planners in Wilmington and from our first conversation I knew Charyl was going to be ours. Charyl is such a warm person and really listens to what you say and how you imagine your day to be. She put together all of my vendors for our wedding and set up meetings with each one. She also made sure to be there during the first meeting and that definitely made my husband and I feel good about the whole process because she thought of questions that we forgot to ask. I know most people say planning a wedding is stressful but honestly I enjoyed every moment and 95% of that is because of Charyl Williams. Our wedding day turned out to be immaculate and everything my husband and I envisioned. We still have family and friends talking about our wedding day and how it was the best wedding they've ever been to. If you are looking for a planner I highly recommend Charyl because we not only walked away with a fantastic wedding but we also walked away gaining another friend in Wilmington.

    Amazing! Charyl was there every step of the way during our planning process. She helped me stay on track and keep everything organized. She calmed all of my planning nerves. The big day went by with no hiccups and I owe most of that to Charyl. I highly suggest Social Butterfly Events.
