Carolyn is amazing!

Carolyn and her team are amazing and turned my daughter’s dream day into an unforgettable reality. From start to finish, she was an absolute delight to work with, and her exceptional knowledge, skills and attention to detail made the wedding a resounding success.
Right from our initial consultation, Carolyn exuded professionalism and creativity. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and budget, and then effortlessly translated them into a cohesive and stunning plan. Her ability to balance our wishes with practical considerations ensured that everything was not only beautiful but also ran smoothly.
One of the standout qualities of Caryolyn is her incredible organizational skills. She managed every aspect of the wedding with remarkable efficiency—coordinating with vendors, handling logistics, and keeping us informed every step of the way. Her meticulous planning allowed us to enjoy the process without the stress of managing countless details.
On the big day, Carolyn and her team were nothing short of magical. Everything was executed flawlessly, and their calm demeanor and problem-solving prowess meant that any last-minute hiccups were handled with grace and ease. Our guests were in awe of the beautiful event and the setup.
Beyond their professional expertise, Carolyn has a genuine passion for what she does and depth of knowledge shows in her work. She was not just our planner, but also our partner in making sure that our wedding was as special and unique as we had envisioned.
In summary, Carolyn is a top-tier wedding planner who delivers excellence in every aspect of her service. If you want a lot less stressful planning experience and a wedding that exceeds your wildest dreams, she is the planner to choose. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Great at planning for all possibilities

Creative Celebrations often plays the devil's advocate in planning for all possible outcomes beyond one's control (ie weather). While this extensive planning can seem tedious in the moments of planning, it pays off in the end. The event/day went off without a hitch, problem or worry.

Hire Carolyn!

Carolyn and her assistant, Rachel, were amazing to work with. They were professional, responsive, and well organized. Carolyn was able to answer any and all questions we had--no question was too silly to ask. I knew she'd have a response. It was also soooo nice the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of to not have to wrangle our vendors and confirm everything. She took care of it all! Carolyn even fixed the bustle of my wedding dress with her sewing skills during my reception. I can't speak highly enough of Carolyn and Rachel. HIRE THEM! You will not be disappointed.
