Robyne and her team have coordinated events nationally and internationally, from Atlanta, to New Orleans, to Bermuda, to name a few. Robyne's reputation for excellence has earned her a spot as a preferred planner for notable academic, business and social elites across the country.

Truly enchanted

Robyne and her team made sure I had my dream wedding. She kept me and my (now) hubby informed on all decisions, without overwhelming us with details. She got us into our first choice venue, when we had previously had no luck getting anyone to answer our emails. All of the vendors she recommended were professionals and provided amazing services. On wedding day, I had no stress! None! As the bride! I knew she had everything taken care of, so I was able to relax and had one of the best days of my life. When it was time to say good-bye to the guests, she arranged our transportation and figured out how to clean up the venue and get gifts delivered to my home without me being involved. She is a consummate professional. And, her lady-in-waiting, Abbria, was a godsend! She steamed all of my bridesmaids' gowns the morning of. My bridesmaids didn't have to learn how to arrange my gown, they just had fun with me! You will not be disappointed and you will be in good hands if you allow Robyne to plan your day.

Simply the BEST!!!

Robyne and her team helped us pull off what should have been an impossible task: a virtual wedding, at an art gallery, during a pandemic...in TWENTY DAYS!!!

From the moment we asked for her help, Robyne got right to work helping us put together our budget and giving us cool wedding ideas. She put together our digital save the date and our invitation. She contacted all of our vendors, scheduled our rehearsal, and coordinated every detail of our wedding. And, in a moment that quite literally saved our wedding while in the midst of a significant technical glitch, she got the issue resolved seamlessly without anyone (including the bride and groom) even noticing.

We can't imagine that a better, more thoughtful, prepared, or caring wedding planner exists. We couldn't have been more pleased with the work Robyne and her team put in for us. We asked for the moon and she delivered the galaxy! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Above and beyond our expectations!!

First off, Robyne was an AMAZING planner. She was hardworking, seriously detail oriented, accommodating, and thought of many details about our wedding that we had not even considered. It made for an amazing, seamless day. Side note: we have a toddler that made meeting and planning a little more difficult, and Robyne would meet us late at night or during lunch to help us have relaxed and productive meetings. We also had a limited budget which required a lot of creativity on our side (more vendors, some DIY projects) and Robyne managed and organized everyone in a way that their tasks were clear and completed efficiently. Our videographer said that the way Robyne organized our wedding was the most detailed and helpful timeline he has ever seen at a wedding. She was kind and worked well with all of our vendors, which made the day really easy for everyone involved. Finally, Robyne made sure that we got to enjoy our day as well. She made sure we ate, had a drink, got to enjoy the dance floor, and had our interests in mind when doing everything. She thought of things we needed to help the day work out seamlessly so we were not stressed at any moment. It was an amazing day and planned out in the best way, where every person/family member/bridesmaid/vendor could follow the schedule of events easily. Thanks Robyne! I would recommend her to anyone.

Simply AMAZING at every turn.......Best Event Planner Ever!!!!

For anyone looking for a high quality, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, organized, hands-on, creative, and amazing event planner. Look no further than the team at Carrie Belle Events led by their founder Robyne Gordon. I have worked with Carrie Belle Events in the past for events and have had nothing but great experiences. About a year ago as I started to create the vision for my 40th birthday it was a no-brainer for me to reach out to Robyne and her team again. As I laid out what would be the framework for a very complex VIP experience over 6 days it was evident that this would be very different than the events we had done in the past together. As we started to discuss this undertaking at a high-level, I quickly realized this event had many moving parts. For starters the event would be taking place outside the country and the need to manage over 15 different vendors internationally I began to think maybe I need to scale back. As the savvy and true professional she is Robyne quickly put me at ease and explained she was very experienced in dealing with events outside the country and really made me feel comfortable to move forward.
Over the course of the next 14 months the Carrie Belle Events team took me on the journey of a lifetime. Which started with delivering the guest invitations. I was very specific on what I wanted and after several rounds with the vendor Robyne was very instrumental in ensuring I got my vision executed by the agreed upon delivery date which included her team picking them up and ensuing they were in the mail and postmarked by our milestone date. Which was just one of a hundred different examples of the Carrie Belle Events team commitment to customer satisfaction throughout this journey.
The next few months included hundreds of communications, conference calls, and meetings. With all my concerns and changes in directions/scope I never felt any frustration from Robyne and her team. Throughout the process she leveraged technology and provided clear and concise design guides that really begin to formalize our vision. I was blown away at the attention to detail and timelines that she provided that accounted for an hour by hour schedule throughout the event week. Robyne was phenomenal in all areas but there were 5 key areas where I thought Carrie Belle Events separated themselves from other planners I have used in the past:
• Dealing with the local language barriers
• Contract/Vendor Management
• Guest Experience & Communication
• Brand Management
• Attention to Detail & Issue Mgt.

The actual event was 6 days and 5 nights and really felt like the work of 5 weddings because there were several separate big events every day. I am a very hands on person however Robyne and team was so fantastic I truly was able to enjoy my birthday week with my 25 guests. I have never said this about an event but the week was absolutely PERFECT. Robyne and Adj made my guests feel like real VIPs at every turn. From the moment they arrived at the airport untll they departed back home. If you are looking for not only an event planner but an Event Strategist look no further than the team at Carrie Belle Events led by the brilliance of Robyne Gordon. I look forward to working with Carrie Belle for many years to come.

Sincerely
A very Satisfied Client - Gary

My wife and I weren't planning on hiring a coordinator at all. Fortunately, her sister found Robyne and Carrie Belle Events and sent her our way. After one phone call we were in! As far as decision making and wedding planning goes, hiring Robyne as our coordinator was the best decision we made! Our wedding day was the most magical day of our lives and Robyne and her team had so much to do with that. She thought about ALL the details that my wife and I didn't even know to think of, she fixed any issue in a flash, and, last but certainly not least, she is so much fun to work with! We had so much fun celebrating our day with Robyne, not only as a coordinator, but as a friend. She is exceptional at what she does and we feel incredibly grateful to have worked with her!

If you have ever seen Robyne Gordon you know that her style is impeccable. If you have ever worked with her you know that her work ethic is unmatched. Thus, when my fiancé proposed asking Carrie Belle Events to handle all aspects of my wedding was a no-brainer. When I say all aspects, I mean all aspects. The only thing I wanted to pick was the date. I asked Robyne to choose a color theme, pick my flowers, locate the venue, identify a menu, you name it the Carrie Belle team handled it. The only thing I was very involved in was my wedding day look, but even then the Carrie Belle team helped. Robyne and her team planned the perfect wedding for my husband and I. It was everything we hoped for. I could not have imagined a more beautiful day. They had every detail handled and their professionalism was amazing. Many guests commented on the team (i.e. Carrie Belle) of people that was always around making sure that all of my and my husband’s needs were met. I felt like I had my own personal secret service. I was the worst kind of bride because I had very high standards but provided very little direction on what I wanted. Carrie Belle rose to the challenged and made all of our dreams come true. Saying yes to my fiancé/husband was the best decision I ever made and hiring Carrie Belle was the second!
