Perfection Achieved!

Distinction Events exceeded my expectations. I used their Day of Coordination services. Felia was professional, dependable and honest. Not once did I feel alone or unsure during the wedding process. Everyone at my wedding was asking who she was. She made sure we followed our wedding timeline. All I had to do was show up. After the reception, I hated to see her and her team go LOL. I highly recommend them. You wont be disappointed.

Love this team!

Distinction Events and Design are AMAZING. Crystal and her team are so lovely to work with. Their energy, organization and experience in the industry shine through at each wedding they touch! I was recently part of a vendor team with them, and as another vendor - the team was so helpful, kind and supportive throughout the day. In turn, it helped the couple have one of the best days of their lives! Stress free! Couldn't recommend them enough!

Could Not Have Done It Without Them

I was a bride on a budget as decided to search for a day of coordinator rather than a full blown planner. Crystal along with the entire Distinction Events and Design team did an amazing job of organizing and coordinating my wedding day. We met periodically throughout my planning period (4 months) and Crystal lended vendor recommendations for design, venue, hair, and makeup. Crystal was extremely professional, transparent, and her 10+ years in the business was very apparent as she calmed me down during the last 2 weeks of crunch time before my wedding. She navigated venue changes 2 weeks before my wedding, managed all of my vendors with grace and professionalism. She ensured my entire wedding party was prepared, rehearsal went swimmingly. All aspects of her responsibilities were met 100%.

Ultimately, I didn’t have to think about ANYTHING but my handsome groom and enjoying myself on the day of my wedding. The Distinction team made it all possible!

P.s. I even got to eat and drink on time as well!

Partner Perfection for our Venue

Distinction Events did an exceptional job partnering with us for a wedding held at the Undercurrent. They had all the details nailed down and squared away. The timeline provided was thorough and they were able to keep things moving throughout the evening. The staff was professional, kind and calm under pressure. They were a joy to work with and I highly recommend Crystal and her team at Distinction Events.

Please Hire!

Crystal is awesome! A true professional!! She’s very patient, kind and knows the exact words to say to calm a very overwhelmed and frazzled bride down when the clock is ticking faster than the amount of things that still need to be done.

We had a snafu with my daughter’s ceremony venue and Crystal jumped right in without hesitation to help us problem solve to make my daughter’s wedding a day to be forever in our minds and hearts. I would definitely recommend Crystal’s services to anyone looking for a very organized and detailed oriented wedding planner!!

Best in the Business!

Crystal and her team were amazing for my wedding planner services. The one thing that I knew I wanted for my wedding was a planner because my sister in law mentioned that I would want someone to take care of things, and boy, did they deliver. I had been working with Crystal for over 2 years due to postponements, so we saw it all together (COVID, venues shutdown, babies, you name it & we went through it together!) Crystal, Felia, and Lacie were all there for me and my husband the day of our wedding, and Crystal especially took good care of us that day and the days prior. She also pointed us in the right direction when it came to Mother of Bride dresses. She recommend at Shop in Greensboro, where on the first visit, my mother found her dress!! I would definitely recommend them for all planner services! Thank you Again Distinction Team for everything! You all are the best!

Life Savers!

Crystal and her team planned two pre-pandemic events for me: (1) a book signing and (2) a women's conference. At both events, Crystal and her team were very professional, organized and really made me feel like everything was under control the entire time (even in those moments I wanted to panic). Thanks to their support, I was able to really enjoy both events without "working" the events. Their team did all the hard stuff and even ran to my home when a package arrived too late for me to pick up. It's their attention to detail, passion for the job, and support which make me label them lifesavers. I would recommend them to anyone for any event!

The best decision ever!

Planning a wedding or an event can be stressful! Especially if it's a major family celebration. Finding Crystal was a GIFT to someone like me who doesn't know where to even start when it comes to wedding or party planning. Thanks to Crystal and her amazing staff, our family was able to enjoy many momentous occasions due to her expertise and professionalism. She and her staff were courteous, caring and made sure that all of requests were honored. We were EXTREMELY pleased and we look forward to working with her again.
