Great celebration!

Jumila and Kim did a great job with all aspects of my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding! The venue had many challenges as it was in a field overlooking the ICWW with no facilities or power. Everything had to be brought in and the Blue Satin Bee team handled it all with care and precision! Would highly recommend them!

Their Team Is The Best!

As a wedding/event band, we work with A LOT of wedding planners over the year and Danielle and Blue Satin Bee were a pleasure to work with! It is so important to have a planner that understands all aspects of the event and keeps everyone involved in the loop. The venue looked beautiful, the couple and family were so very happy and in turn, we played like rock stars! A great planner is a MUST, please don't hire your friend or family... Trust me, these guys are the real deal!

Blue Satin Bee is the BEST!

We could not have had the most beautiful day without Blue Satin Bee. From the first planning day to the last recap (after our wedding) they were the best! The wedding planning team listened to what we wanted and then went above and beyond to make our day the best day of our lives. In the beginning we were just going to use them for on the day of the wedding but from the first planning day we decided we needed them for all of the planning due of their experience and their dedication to making our big day their top propriety. Throughout the planning experience they made sure we were happy every step of the way and ensured things would run accordingly as planned. They also protected us from any stress and made sure everyone in our family and wedding party was happy. On the wedding day they also were a part of making the day special just because of the relationship we made with them. They even brought in extra support to make sure that my grandma who could not make it to the wedding could participate in the virtual platform. The ladies at Blue Satin Bee are exceptional wedding planners and go above and beyond. We could not have asked for anything better. We would HIGHLY recommend Blue Satin Bee!!

Best Wedding Planner

There is no one better in the Southport/oak island area than Blue Satin Bee for event planning! We were lucky enough to have both Kim and Jumila to plan our wedding. They were so helpful even though we planned the majority of our wedding from across the country and in the middle of a cross country move. They were extremely accommodating, and helpful. They kept us calm when we had no idea what we wanted, set up all our vendor visits, tons of recommendations, and available anytime we had questions. Day of, they were the Go To Team! I didn’t even have to think about anything, they had everything set up and ready and even helped us with our pups when they didn’t have to, and our wedding went perfectly!! Most times I am hesitant to spend money, but I can 100% say blue satin bee was worth every penny! They made our wedding more than perfect it was our dream event! We can’t thank them enough!

Just amazing!

Weddings can be stressful (obviously) but knowing that you are in good hands with your wedding coordinator just makes everything so much easier! I can’t say enough good things about Blue Satin Bee. They took care of everything down to the smallest detail and everything just turned out so beautiful! Danielle, our coordinator was just amazing with all the kids and went above and beyond. I am 100% happy and would definitely recommend to a friend!

Don't look back and WISH you had hired a wedding planner

So, my wife and I were not planning on hiring a day of planner…that would have been the biggest mistake ever!!!

I have my friend who got a wedding planner and asked if we planned on getting on, and I didn’t see the need to. We had all our vendors picked out and booked. Then I was talking to our vendor for rentals, and she was like, “You may think you don’t need a planner but let me tell you, come the end of your wedding night and it will be you stuck without anyone to help clean as everyone who says they will help will be drunk and leave” and she gave me the name of Kim at Blue Satin Bee.

We reached out to Kim and met up for coffee and we knew right away that we need to bite the bullet and hire her. She asked many questions of things we never even thought of, and we knew it would make the day wayyyy less stressful. Though we had the full wedding planned and I had all my spreadsheets/budget in order, we decided to hire her for just the ‘day of’ planning. We met with Kim and her team multiple times for drinks and coffee and to discuss our wedding. She and her team are so personable and fun that many times we lost track of time. An hour meeting would turn into just great discussions, and we all got to know each other very well.

Come the wedding day, though it was still stressful, we did not have the stress of setting up, the stress of having all our vendors on the same page, the stress of making a schedule of the day, everything… Kim and her team at Blue Satin Bee handled it with such professionalism. If there was any hiccups on the day, we wouldn’t know because her whole team was all over and just making sure the day was perfect, which it was. They were just so fun to work with and Danielle’s dance skills with a mop were on point as well.

If you are having a wedding, and plan on doing it yourself…do yourself the biggest favor and reach out to Kim and Blue Satin Bee, they will take off so much stress, especially for you brides. Even if it’s just for the day of, there are so many little things we didn’t think of/didn’t know about until they asked us and discussed with us. You don't want to look back and wish after the wedding that you had hired a wedding planner, by then, it'll be too late. They get 5 stars and are a must hire for your wedding down here on the coast. They will build not just a client relationship but a friendship as well.

Absolutely a dream!!!

Blue Satin Bee was beyond perfection! Thanks to them we had our dream wedding and honestly I dont think we could have done it without them. I seriously probably would have thrown in the towel and just eloped on my own. Working two jobs, going to school full time, and working an odd schedule would have been hard for some people to accommodate but not Blue Satin Bee. They were always so prompt, flexible, friendly, and organized! They really listened to what we wanted and helped us plan accordingly. The day of what such a BREEZEE. I am a control freak, but Kimberly told me to let the professionals handle it, and I am so glad we put our trust in them because we were able to relax, eat, socialize and still do the things we needed. I swear I could go on and on bragging! She even helped me bustle my dress and place my veil because we were struggling with it. Trust me, give them a call you wont regret it!
