The BEST Planner

Lauren and her staff were such as blessing on our wedding day. The pandemic brought world winds of anxiety for me. Since nearly all of our guests were from out of town, I felt that I was stuck in a corner. Lauren guided me through the entire process and assured, even before she was supposed to take over, that I was calm, cool, and collective. I don't know what I would have done without Lauren throughout this process.

On the day of the wedding, everything was set up exactly how I imagined it. She took care of literally every single detail and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't thank Lauren enough for being there for me throughout this wedding process and I am SO happy we hired her and her team to manage our wedding day. It would not have been nearly as fun, stress-free, and enjoyable in someone else's hands. Thank you Carolina Bells!

Absolute Rockstar!

I can't even begin to describe how happy I am with Lauren at Carolina Bells. She exceeded my expectations of having a wedding planner. She is so organized, honest, detailed oriented, reliable, timely, the list could go on and on. Her level of professionalism was above and beyond what I had hope for.

She is such a kind person and her level of professionalism and experience made me feel comfortable and stress free the weeks leading up to the wedding, which I thought would be the height of all of stress. My guests not only noticed that everything in my wedding just flowed so well, but they complemented all of the decor and design. Lauren brought my vision to life when I brought her a jumbled mess of pictures, Pinterest boards, and crazy ideas. I would highly recommend Lauren to give you a fun, enjoyable, memorable, stress-free wedding!

Highly Recommend!

Lauren was amazing! As a business owner myself, I didn't have the time to plan and organize my wedding. I really needed someone reliable to help pull together our wedding. She went above and beyond our expectations. I have a very busy schedule and didn't have much time to meet with her, but Lauren still found a way to complete everything we needed and stay in touch with me along the way. She was very quick to respond to my several questions I had throughout the process, but I had no doubt that she has everything under control at all from start to finish. She is very sweet and a fantastic planner and designer. Thank you Carolina Bells for making our wedding day so special.

An Absolute Needed Service on your Wedding Day

My wife really wanted a wedding planner for our wedding. I didn't quite understand the necessity until we hired one, but I can say that honestly it was well worth every penny.

My wife was getting stressed out about planning the wedding, coming to an understanding as time got closer that organizing everything was becoming more than she had anticipated. Carolina Bells has highly recommended by several people, so I gave them a call to help my wife out.

As soon as Lauren started taking over, the stress was instantly relieved from my wife. From the day we completed our initial consultation to the send off of our honeymoon, Lauren worked non-stop to be sure that Anna and I could enjoy the rest of our engagement period as well as our wedding. The confidence she had in our initial consultation assured me that we where in good hands.

Lauren planned and organized all of the details of our wedding, leaving no detail untouched. Anytime Anna or I had a question or concern, Lauren was already two steps ahead of us. It was nice knowing that all we had to do was show up on our wedding day. Everything else was already taken care of.

If you are looking for a good, reliable, professional, and trustworthy wedding planner, Carolina Bells will be perfect for you.

The entire day just flowed on through and my husband and I didn't run into any issues or need to worry about anything. Thank you again Lauren, I don't know what I would have done without you!

Best Decision We Ever Made

I can't even begin to explain how helpful Lauren was through this entire experience. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true because of her. All we had to do was let her know what we wanted, bring a few photos, and she designed the entire thing even better than I could have imagined. I never had to worry about a single thing as she was always on top of everything. She was easy to get a hold of if I ever had any questions and took care of every single detail for us. We were extremely confident in Lauren's ability to bring our ideas and needs to life in our wedding and she went above and beyond our expectations. She came highly recommended from one of my friends and I can see why.

Do yourself a favor and hire Carolina Bells as your wedding planner. You will be glad you did!
