Truly Impressed!

My husband and I were very anxious about planning our wedding from another state but with the assistance from All About Events, it was almost entirely stress-free. Carolyn’s attention to detail is absolutely astounding. Her thoughtfulness and organization completely put our minds at ease.

On the day of our wedding, Carolyn and her team were an essential part of getting everything done on time. It felt strange putting our big day into the hands of someone else, but it turned out to be the best decision ever! The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. If any problems did arise then Carolyn made sure we were blissfully unaware! Lol

We are thoroughly impressed, and highly recommend All About Events for your big day and any other event that you want to be a success, they will not disappoint! Thank you!

Carolyn was great to work with. I was not the easiest bride. I had a vision and I wanted it exactly my way. Besides I was on a tight budget and could not spend a lot on a wedding planner. Carolyn offers day of services, decoration services and the whole deal. Because I was a very hands on bride i hired her to help me bring to life the vision I had for the wedding. Everything happened through email since the entire planning happened from Canada.

She completely got my vision to the last detail. My wedding was so beautiful. I was so surprised to have it be exactly what I had imagined in my mind. Carolyn is really accomodating and will work with you to give you exactly what you want for the wedding. Besides she has a lot of experience and knows everyone in the community. I would highly recommend her. If you are reading this thanks Carolyn for putting up with me and giving me the wedding of my dreams.

It's been a little over a month since we've been married, and our wedding is still the talk of every gathering we have had with family and friends since then. Everything was perfect! I am not someone who knew what I wanted my wedding to be before I started planning which is why I contacted Carolyn in the first place to fully coordinate my big day. I really did not want to be stressed over wedding planning. Carolyn made it easy. I work a lot so her willingness to communicate via e-mail (she responded really fast) was just what I needed. She did everything from setting up meetings with vendors and negotiating contracts to mailing out invites. She even made calls to those guests who did not rsvp. This was big for me because the guest list was my biggest headache from the very beginning, and I was really just tired of looking at it by that time. Oh, she also planned my special presentation to my husband during the reception which was awesome! Week of wedding I received a really cool agenda which clearly listed vendor arrival times at the church and reception hall which I loved. I wasn't worried though because Carolyn is super efficient- I believe I only looked at the agenda on wedding day to refresh my memory as to what time the limos were coming to pick us up! Like I said, everything was perfect and the wedding started on time which is exactly what I wanted- my guests were extremely impressed by this! I've had so many people tell me that they have NEVER been to a wedding where everything just flowed so nicely. I truly believe that I made the right choice with All About Events. AAE had our best interest at heart the whole time!Thank you Carolyn, Matthew(probably one of the flyest guys you will ever meet), and Rhoda! We will never forget what you have done for us! We are happy to call the AAE Team family. Thank you again and we love ya'll!

Carolyn and her staff are fantastic to work with. They are very creative and detail orientated. The room design she did for the wedding reception here was amazing, and was something we had never thought to do ourselves. It was a beautiful reception, and her and her staff were onsite the whole time from set up to break down. Great team!
