It’s all about the details and Chestnut & Vine made sure I gave thought to EVERY SINGLE ONE! When I hired them 6 months prior to my wedding day, I was beyond grateful for their extensive month-by-month online checklists, which kept me on top of all of the decision-making, appointment scheduling and record-keeping that I needed to get done. I also loved their comprehensive venue layout application, which allowed me to virtually decorate my specific event space at the Renaissance Raleigh at North Hills and helped me envision “the look” I was going for. Most importantly, Eric McCauley was super fun to work with and really understood our quirks as a couple. Hiring this company was the best decision I could’ve ever made for my wedding!

We had the best time working with Chestnut & Vine. They were patient, thorough, organized, and really listened to what we wanted and advised us on how to achieve that. As the wedding day approached, we were able to hand off vendor communication to them, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the lead-up to the wedding. On the day of, I was relaxed, knew I was in good hands, and I got to eat, drink, dance and laugh all through the day. Hiring them was the best decision we made during planning and I would recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

We worked with both Erin and Kiley for our wedding! They were so professional, kind, and supportive in our process. We often had trouble balancing our wants (if we even knew them) with family/religious/practical concerns, and they were there to help through the entire timeline. The value especially kicked in ~6 weeks out of the wedding. We were in constant contact, and Kiley effortlessly (or at least it looked effortless from our end) managed the schedule, vendor contact, and other big and small details. On the day of the wedding, everything went PERFECTLY! We highly recommend C&V to other couples.

The Chestnut and Vine team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They made the wedding planning process feel like a breeze for us, especially taking care of all things timeline related. Wedding day we had a horrible storm midday that knocked the power out at our venue. They were so calm and collected the entire time working with us through alternative ceremony spot options because of all the rain. At the end of the day we were able to have our ceremony outdoors with full sunshine and the power came back on mid ceremony! They were on top of everything from start to finish wedding day and we were able to just relax and enjoy the entire time! Our lead coordinator was Kiley and she was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so efficient, able to help us with any random question leading up to the day, made it an amazingly organized day, and obviously did a great job keeping our wedding day stress free for us! It’s so important to have a great wedding coordinator helping you through this process and I could not recommend Chestnut and Vine enough! The best people to work with!

Erin and Kiley with Chestnut and Vine were simply amazing! They helped turn our vision into our dream wedding. Communication and timeline check-ins were amazing and as our big day got closer, they were fantastically on point and handled everything! Absolutely loved working with them and appreciate them so much! From vendor recommendations down to the sparklers for the end… everything was amazing!

ERIN IS THE BEST in her field. Her attention to detail made my day run smoothly! I was debating between her and another planner in the beginning of the planning process but I asked a few vendors I had already hired about a planner they would recommend and all vendors I asked listed her as the first planner as if it was second nature to pick her and I knew I had to go with her!

The day of the wedding she purposefully placed everything I brought (memory table pictures, guest book, unplugged sign etc) in an even better way than I would've thought of and everything felt so seamless. I stressed for over 2 years planning our day and by that day I knew she understood my vision and I was so secure in her abilities to make it happen. That day I had zero stress (minus two vendor issues) I felt like everything was under control and I could enjoy the getting ready process with my bridesmaids.

We had a few vendor hiccups the day of the wedding (cake and florals) which she had no control over of course and I was so upset about it, it brought me to tears but she was able to talk me down and come up with a solution that would make me feel better in that moment and I am beyond grateful for that because her pep talk allowed me to focus on the positive and I was able to enjoy my reception.

Towards the end of the night we had planned for a "staged exit" with the photographers but the guests were having a ball and the photographers needed to leave and I was afraid a true exit with all the guests would kill the party (as I hear it typically does). She walks away and comes back with a brilliant idea to do a circle bubble exit outside on the venue patio with all the guests surrounding me and my husband (and our two girls) and it made for such amazing photos and unique exit that my friends all raved about. I am so grateful for her quick thinking and ability to keep things running so smoothly without killing the party. I received so many compliments about how well coordinated the day went and how I picked an amazing planner. Alot of people even complimented how sweet Erin was while also staying on task.

Not to mention, a week after the wedding I found myself still ruminating about the vendor issues and even though she likely had other weddings to do, she took the time out to talk things over with me via email. She gave me such great advice on how to approach reaching out to the vendors to rectify their mistakes made that evening which meant so much to me. It is evident that she prides herself in keeping her brides happy before, during and after the wedding. Throughout the planning process and by the end of the night I was so disappointed that I would not see her again because I felt like she had become family at that point. Thank you Erin for making our day everything I had hoped for! You are a gem!

We worked with the C&V wedding coordinator team for our May 2023 wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! Throughout the planning process, Erin checked in on us and made an effort to get to know us, provided incredibly helpful monthly checklists, and answered any and all questions that we had over email with thorough and quick responses. There are SO many things you do not know to do when planning a wedding and Erin ensured that nothing was overlooked. She was hugely helpful in finalizing our rental invoice, coordinating with all of our vendors during the last few weeks, and creating a detailed day of timeline. This alone (even without the day of coordination) would have been worth every penny! Maddie was our lead coordinator for the wedding weekend and she was a rockstar in corralling the wedding party and guests and ensuring that everything went smoothly and according to the timeline. She even let us store all of our decor in her car after the rehearsal so that we didn't need to bring it with us to the venue the morning of the wedding! I seriously cannot recommend C&V enough. Book them now, you will not regret it!

After our engagement, there was one thing I said was a non-negotiable and that was a wedding planner. After my first interview with Erin, I knew she was the one immediately! Erin is extremely personable and makes you feel like center of attention (which is what we all want as brides, am I right?). But HOW she does this while having multiple other clients at the same time is what makes her and her team extremely remarkable. Erin was everything I sought for on our journey to our special day. Thoughtful, organized, open-minded, a leader and firm with directions! We opted for Erin’s design package (cannot recommend this enough) which led me to meet Alexis, one of the designers on Erin’s team! Alexis immediately jumped in when I needed her most to make my vision come true, all while navigating some very needy, but also not so needy wants and requests (lol). Both Erin and Alexis are so knowledgeable with all vendors in the Raleigh area and have so much experience working at some of the best venues around. I cannot say enough good things about Erin, Alexis, and Chestnut & Vine as a whole. My and my husbands experience over a full year of planning leading up to our wedding day was nothing short of easy, manageable, and seamless because of the incredible team we worked with. I wish I could give this team one million stars, because I would over, and over again. This is your sign (or review) to 100% hire Chestnut & Vine!

Erin and her team did a fantastic job supporting the planning and coordination of my daughter's wedding! Not only did Chestnut and Vine help along the way of the planning process, but they ran our rehearsal, took away all of my stress on wedding day and ensured the wedding day timeline went so smoothly. I would highly recommend working with the Chestnut and Vine team! Perfect mix of support in the planning process and coordination to execute a smooth event that all our guests raved about!

We picked Chestnut & Vine to be our Day-Of Coordinators based on their attention to detail and care for their clients. We hired them for just one day, but they were with us for the entire year before our big day. They sent detailed checklists every month with special access to their online portal of advice and information. We can't thank Chelsea enough for the support and care she provided us throughout our preparation and wedding day. Her response times and help with our other vendors made our preparation process very easy to move through. Thank you Chelsea and Chestnut & Vine for your lovely care towards us and our wedding!
