Pays close attention to every detail

During my first meeting with Carly, I shared with her that all of the small details were very important to me and that I wanted our wedding to be elegant and romantic. I also told her that I wanted to plan the wedding in a month before I returned to work as a teacher. She accepted the challenge and called The Alfond Inn, my dream venue, during the meeting and we toured and booked the venue that same day. During the next few weeks, we met with all of our vendors and planned our entire wedding. During the weeks leading up to our wedding, she checked in with me often to ask how I was feeling, if I had any questions about anything, if I wanted to meet with her to go over anything, etc. Our wedding was magical! The ballroom looked like a beautiful garden (with stars on the ceiling). It was STUNNING! Carly ONLY works with the best vendors. I knew that I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding because we had hired Carly. She made sure that everything happened on time and she was so attentive to the wedding party and to my parents. She helped me put on my wedding dress and dry my tears after I did a first look with my Dad which was SO special. She was with me through every step of the process! Weeks after the wedding, our family and friends asked if we could have the wedding all over again. Everyone had so much fun and many people have said that our wedding is the BEST wedding that they have ever been to.

Our Dream Wedding

Carly was an absolute dream to work with. We found her after having a horrible experience with a venue that was incredibly difficult to work with that we had booked on our own before working with a wedding planner. Once, Carly came into the picture everything was seamless! We were able to switch venues and start working her talented team of vendors.

My husband and I were living in North Carolina and got married in Florida and she made everything so easy as far as site visits, vendors calls, decor. Not once did I feel stressed about having an out of state wedding. We had a 4 day West Indian wedding. It was so important to us to work with a wedding planner who understood our culture and Carly was a pro…she already knew all the ins and outs!

What truly makes Carly amazing is her ability to read your mind. She always knows what you’re thinking and she will truly bring your vision to life. She will make your Pinterest board a reality! I still find myself looking at our wedding photos daily and can’t believe how every little detail came to life.

I am so pleased with all of the vendors who were recommended by Carly. She understands your style and vision and will match you with a perfect team. Our wedding would have never been possible without her and I am so thankful for both her and her team of vendors!

When dreams become reality...

Carly was truly my fairy godmother during the wedding planning process. I knew I needed her help as soon as I saw her work through her website and social media posts. I even reached out to her before I was officially engaged to make sure she was available for our time frame. Carly took care of every detail, did all of the behind the scenes planning and never let me stress out! I am a control freak in general and would send Carly multiple long emails with thoughts and she was always so kind, accommodating and reassuring but also made sure to keep it real. Her expertise in the field is apparent from the first conversation we had, and she never missed with her recommendations for vendors or . We had to make a few changes throughout the planning process but Carly always made sure that she focused on my vision and details that were important to us, and truly made my dreams come true! All of our guests raved about all of the details of our wedding and said it was the most fun they have ever had. If you are looking for a professional, creative, knowledgeable wedding planner, my husband and I cannot recommend Carly enough!

Carlisha did a phenomenal job bringing our dream vow renewal to life. She exceeded our expectations. Her entire team of vendors are detail oriented.

Carlisha was our wedding planner for our 10 year vow renewal. She blew us away with the entirety of it! She handled every aspect of it and we just came to be in the moment and commemorate our love. Our guest list was small and intimate however, she turned both venues and balanced out the space. The incorporation of Disney touches were very personal. Our guests still talk about the celebration. It was enjoyed by all. We were so blessed to have connected with her and would highly recommend her to be their next wedding planner.

A Dream Come True

From the moment we met Carly during our consultation we knew she was the planner for us. Our consultation felt like we were catching up with an old friend rather than interviewing a planner. Carly guided us through the entire planning process and made everything so enjoyable and fun rather than stressful. My now husband and I were speechless on our wedding day to see all of our wedding day dreams and more come to fruition thanks to Carly and her team. She truly is the fairy godmother of wedding planning! We cannot recommend Carly enough to anyone looking to plan an unforgettable wedding that will leave you and your guests raving for years to come.

Designer Weddings by Carly Rose

Designer Weddings by Carly Rose was the best option for us as our wedding planner! From the moment we engaged her services until the last guest departed, every detail was executed with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care.
Carly took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and budget constraints. She offered invaluable guidance throughout the planning process, from selecting the perfect venue to curating a delectable menu that catered to our diverse guests.
One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Carly was her ability to transform our ideas into reality. Her and her team's creativity shone through in the exquisite floral arrangements, elegant table settings, and breathtaking décor that adorned our venue. She truly went above and beyond to create a magical atmosphere that surpassed our dreams.
I wholeheartedly recommend Carly to any couple seeking a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed their expectations. Carly and her team's professionalism, creativity, and unwavering dedication to her clients make her a true asset to any wedding planning journey.
We can't thank her enough for everything!

More than a designer wedding, Carly makes wedding dreams come to life.

Designer Weddings by Carly was the most important puzzle piece when it came to planning our two- day Indian wedding in Orlando, FL. I could go on and on about how wonderful Carly and her company was to my husband and I. When we initially began wedding planning, we ran into somewhat of a nightmare with our first wedding planner. We scrambled to find a new planner that specialized in Indian weddings and found Carly. Needless to say, not only did Carly save our wedding, but turned it into an event we play over and over in our head to this day. Carly was able to connect us with the best vendors in Orlando and helped us negotiate, plan and dream big when it came to booking vendors. She was there every step of the way. Carly is someone you can trust to plan a beautiful and memorable event, she is also warm and kind, making it easy to be open with her about ideas. I highly recommend hiring Carly for your next special event. We had a total of five weddings in our family in 2023, and because of Carly's passion and craft, ours was the one that stood out the most and the one everyone can't stop talking about. Carly, thank you for giving us one of the greatest gifts in life, a more than perfect wedding.

Better than my dreams

When I first met Carly I could tell that she has such a passion for what she does! She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé and was there anytime that I had a question or concern. Everything on our wedding day turned out even better than I could have ever imagined. It felt like a literal fairytale. It’s been weeks and I still can’t stop thinking about how beautiful everything turned out.

Carlisha went above and beyond!

Had my wedding in December 2023 and had been planning with Carlisha since about March 2023. I cannot even begin to explain how incredible Carlisha was! Not only did she give us our dream wedding, she made it better than I ever could’ve imagined. It is as if she read my mind.
She was always just a phone call or text message away, and was extremely helpful anytime I needed her guidance. Our wedding was the most perfect day I’ve ever experienced, it felt like a dream. To this day I still can’t stop looking at photos. She made the entire planning process so easy and stress free. All of her recommendations as well were spot on. She knows exactly what she is doing and was born for this!
