Seamless experience

We were lucky enough to find Kelsy from C&D for our wedding! Kelsy was exactly what we needed in a full service planner. We planned our wedding with her from out of state, and that didn't impede her communication skills or planning at all. She was intuitive, thoughtful, and worked with our travel schedules to take advantage of times when we were in town to align with vendors and tours. She was super knowledgable about all the local vendors, and helped us narrow it down by presenting options that fit with our vision. She ultimately made the whole design come together and we absolutely loved it! On wedding day, our whole family was so impressed with her professionalism and how she ran the show. Not only is she good at her job, but Kelsy is so easy to get along with -- we've even met up with her after our wedding when she was on a trip to our city. Whenever people ask for our top wedding planning tip, we always say hire a planner, and if you're lucky you'll get one like Kelsy!

21st Night of September

I worked with Meredith with C&D Events for planning my September 2023 wedding and she (and the rest of the team) were beyond helpful. Meredith was my month-of coordinator however she assisted me throughout my year-long planning process. She answered my MANY questions quickly and effectively. If she wasn't sure of an answer, she informed me of that but also reached out to other colleagues for assistance which I appreciated.

There were a few hiccups however in speaking to C&D, I felt like my concerns were not only heard but accepted. They provided additional background and clarity which I appreciated as I can only see so much of what is going on from the client side. They went above and beyond to help correct and for that I'm grateful. I truly believe that they are a great team to work with if you're getting married in the RDU area.

Full-Service Wedding Planner

We worked with Kelsy as our full-service wedding planner and words do not describe what an amazing experience we had. She went above and beyond to coach us through the entire process ensuring things went smoothly and that our vision came to life. She was very knowledgeable of the wedding industry in general and was able to guide us through each and every decision. All of our friends and family involved in the process were thoroughly impressed by her and agreed she was a pleasure to work with. We went into the day feeling fully prepared and only had to worry about cherishing each moment together as she handled everything behind the scenes. We have and will continue to highly recommend Kelsy to anyone looking for a planner!!

Bride and Groom

I can not thank Sterling with C&D Events enough. She is amazing. She planned and designed our wedding. She was extremely organized and very creative. Our wedding was beautiful and we had an amazing time. I really enjoyed working with her and loved all of her ideas. She also recommended great vendors and worked well with them all. We could not have done this without her.

A BIG thank you!

Emily Radley was our coordinator at McAlister Leftwich in Greensboro. She met with us several times, was always in touch via email or text, kept us calm and most importantly the wedding reception went flawlessly! Great job!!!

Thank you Sterling!!

I am SO happy I went with C & D Events for my wedding!! Sterling was my day-of coordinator for my wedding at The Bradford last Saturday and she went above and beyond to make everything come together. She was always so responsive and put me at ease leading up to the wedding, and worked with my last minute changes to make everything perfect while being so calm. The timeline moved along so smoothly and so many guests I spoke with appreciated how natural the ceremony flowed into cocktail hour, then dinner, etc. and that was all due to Sterling and her team!!! The team all put me at ease the day of the wedding as well and were so fun to talk to. I felt completely stress free once everything started which I was honestly surprised by, they handled everything so I was able to just fully enjoy myself!!! I cannot recommend C&D Events enough and definitely book Sterling if you have the chance to, she was amazing and is so sweet!

Wedding of our Dreams!

We had a wonderful experience planning our wedding with Kelsy from C&D! She was available, attentive, friendly, and made us feel so at ease through the whole process. Everyone at our wedding commented on how smooth it was and well organized, not to mention fun!! We really feel like our wedding was the best day of our lives (so far!) and we couldn't have asked for anything more. I didn't have to stress about anything in the days leading up the wedding and that was priceless.

Taylor Made Everything So Easy!!

C & D Events made everything leading up to our wedding so much less stressful. Even if you are a great planner, and have all of your ducks in a row-- I could not recommend hiring this wonderful company more. Taylor made our day even more perfect than we could have asked for, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. I am so grateful to her, and for the entire planning process. C & D Events was one of the best financial decisions we made, and I recommend them to anyone thinking about hiring outside help with planning/decorating!

Full service planning - best decision we made

C+D was a life saver! They did a wonderful job of helping us achieve our vision of our perfect day in about 3 months. Don't underestimate the value of their expertise and making recommendations of vendors and restaurants. Everything worked out flawlessly and everyone work together like a oiled machine. We had a beautiful wedding - thanks for helping to make it happen, y'all!

Alexia is the Best!!

We started working with Alexia as our day of coordinator but she truly went above and beyond in everything she did to help us. Alexia helped us through several date changes and was always supportive and patient with everything. Alexia actually ended up working as our day of coordinator TWICE - once during an intimate ceremony on our original wedding date and then recently during our big celebration! Both times Alexia helped the entire planning process leading up to the day of run so smoothly and organized. Both days were so well organized and well planned and helped the day be stress free! Alexia truly was absolutely amazing. We couldn't have done it with out her and I am so grateful we got to know her and work with her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I absolutely love working with C and D Events and would highly recommend them for wedding coordination and floral design. Courtney, Dana and Becca always go out of their way to help their clients - and other vendors- feel at ease. They have impeccable taste and it shows in all of their work. It's always a pleasure.
