Professional and Perfect

If you are thinking about working with Caroline to plan your wedding - just do it! She is the utmost professional with a wealth of knowledge in the planning and design space. I was never stressed during wedding planning and didn't have to second guess any detail on the wedding day. Because I knew I could trust Caroline and her vision, I simply enjoyed my wedding day while everything unfolded perfectly around my husband and I. Caroline also understood our simple but elegant design inspiration and executed it perfectly. She handled our florals and they were all exquisite.

Best day ever

I was very particular with what I wanted for our wedding! Like many brides, I had a vision in my head of what I had always wanted. Walking in to my reception the day of, I was blown away! It was even better than I had imagined it could be. I was very particular about wanting a specific color palette but wanted the flowers to be a pop of color to add to it. Caroline exceeded all expectations here! The flowers were STUNNING! She even went above and beyond and had my flowers stored after the wedding so they could be preserved. I also was so impressed that her team handled the set up and clean up of everything at the venue— even the extra detail DIYs I did. She also returned everything to me in mint condition. When I say Caroline thought of everything, she truly did! My bridesmaids commented about how calm I seemed the day of and that was because I had Caroline and her team handling every detail so that I didn’t have to worry. Caroline truly made the process so easy, handling last minute hiccups on the venue side with ease and not stressing me out with the details of it all! Thank you CLED!

I cannot recommend Caroline LaRocca Events enough! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Her attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free.

She took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we never imagined. Every little detail was thoughtfully executed, and she handled everything with such grace—even the unexpected last-minute changes.

Not only is she incredibly organized and resourceful, but she is also a joy to work with. Her positive energy and passion for what she does made the experience even more special. Thanks to Caroline, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our big day, knowing that everything was in the best hands.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is talented, kind, and truly dedicated to making your day magical, look no further. We are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding so unforgettable!

Amazing Collaboration

Caroline helped us plan a private wedding ceremony for family and large wedding celebration after at our home. Our daughter had a very nontraditional wedding and celebration and Caroline jumped in and fulfilled our daughter's and her fiancé's vision. The weather went back and forth during the time of the ceremony and plans changed by the minute but she was able to pull off the ceremony at the top of a hill on our property overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains- just as my daughter and her fiancé had wanted. Caroline worked with us to create a stunning and sustainable event with potted plants, trees and herbs in collaboration with family friends who own a greenhouse. And she was able to create a lovely bouquet at a very last minute request. She worked our own furniture and oriental rugs into the decor and she handled her team, the musicians, the photographer, the caterer and the shuttles with ease- if there were any hiccups at all, our family and guests knew nothing of them. Guests are still sending notes of thanks and stating they've never been to a more beautiful celebration of a bride and groom. Thank you, Caroline, for all your hard work and your attention to detail. If my next daughter's wedding venue in CO would let us hire someone from home, you'd be getting a call- the wedding planner we'll be working with on that wedding will have some huge shoes to fill!

Beyond All Expectation!!

I was thrilled when Caroline LaRocca agreed to travel across the country to style the decor for my daughter’s wedding, not only because she is my life long friend, but also because I knew we were in the very best hands. Throughout the planning, Caroline was a wealth of knowledge, and I was grateful for her insight on every aspect of the event. The execution, though, was beyond any of my expectations, and when everything came together, I was blown away. The florals were absolutely stunning; set off by indulgent linens, and elevated with an abundance of candlelight. She ran with my daughter’s vision and created the dreamiest ambiance ever! I will be forever grateful for this labor of love, and I am incredibly proud to recommend Caroline LaRocca Event Design!!

Caroline is a Rockstar!

She was creative, flexible and went above and beyond to create a once in a lifetime experience to wow everyone- especially the bride and groom. The design for the welcome party had a “contemporary mountain uptown vibe” with special up lighting for warmth inside an otherwise cool interior. She worked easily alongside the caterer so no head aches or concerns throughout the weekend.

Absolutely Stunning and Terrific

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Caroline to plan a wedding at our home, and she did exceptional work! She was trusted to design the entire "look" of our wedding, from the linens to the flowers to the placement of everything, and every element was amazingly beautiful and top notch. The flowers were not only beautiful, but each bud was perfect. That takes an attention to detail and a commitment to quality that is rare. I am in the film production business, so I know how important every detail is, and let me assure you, Caroline does as well. And when it came to the installation, she was able to do even more than we expected. And to top it all off, she's a delightful person who also instills confidence that everything will be great - and of course it was. Because it was an "out of town" wedding for Caroline we had a separate person doing the "coordination" but I am certain that if she was in charge of that she would have knocked it out of the park as well. She is a rock star at the top of the game.
