I met Carly in January 2019 after securing the venue for my daughter's wedding. She was on a list provided by the venue. At our first meeting I was impressed with her professionalism and her friendliness but absolutely won over by her knowledge of the vendors in the Napa Valley.
My situation was a bit unique in that I was planning this wedding for my daughter who lived across the country and would only have a few days to visit the Napa Valley to help with the planning. With her schedule as a Naval Officer, marrying another Naval Officer, there was one day all year that they could get married. Additionally, the bride would not be available by phone or email during most of the planning. Carly assured me this would not be a problem,
Carly introduced us to the best vendors! Her relationships with the vendors made me feel very secure in executing the contracts. She created an amazing spreadsheet and budget showing when all payments were due. Any questions I had were immediately addressed and resolved. I realized after the wedding that any worries I had were created in my mind because Carly had control of every detail!
My daughter was able to come out for a few days and Carly arranged a preview of all the table designs, floral designs, signage, as well as a menu tasting, and cake tasting. We even got hair and makeup scheduled in this tight time frame. All of this made my daughter feel that she was getting the wedding she wanted and dreamed of, even though she had so little time to put into the planning.
The execution on the day of the wedding was flawless! Even with the contact person at the venue changing several times in our months of planning, Carly had everything in order. The detailed timeline was a work of art-there is no other way to describe it!
All of the planning created a beautiful wedding and reception! I even think that somehow Carly ordered the beautiful December day. Now, almost 18 months later, people still tell me what a beautiful wedding it was and how much fun they had. Most importantly, the bride and groom got exactly what they wanted. To me, as the mother of the bride, that was the most important aspect and Carly certainly delivered.
I have another daughter and while I'm not pushing her to get engaged, I know that the first person I would contact to tell the news of the engagement would be Carly!

If you are reading this, you should 100% just go with Carly and her team. We just got married a few days ago and we’re writing this review on our honeymoon because she honestly deserves it.

From Day 1 of working together for our wedding, Carly has been responsive, supportive, flexible, and fun! She nailed the design for our wedding (seriously, every event and vibe were on point), she took things off of our plate when work was crazy and we didn’t have time to focus on the wedding, and she dealt with our crazy requests & ideas throughout the process. She executed both our welcome dinner and wedding flawlessly, and we hired her for our welcome dinner literally 1 week before the event because we needed help getting it over the finish line. We honestly couldn’t have done the wedding planning process without her and she is 100% the reason why our wedding weekend was so amazing, memorable, and stress-free. So TLDR is hire her!

Carly was absolutely amazing. She truly took my vision and made an actual fairytale. I ended up having her plan my welcome party in addition to our wedding which was out of this world. Not only is she professional and amazing but by the end I felt like she was my friend planning my wedding. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
