November 2025 Wedding

We absolutely adored Jackie and her daughter Madison while working together for our November 2025 wedding. Jackie came in and was willing to roll with the punches, including communication delays on our end, last minute planning shifts, and a vision that all came together in the final days leading up to the event. We got her on board maybe two months before the big day, and she was ready to jump right in with us! Jackie is a bubbly personality who is readily available when you need her. She centers the bride and groom throughout the entire process, making stressful moments feel easy, because as you get inundated with 100 opinions, she's simply there to hear and honor YOURS. She dealt with vendor snaffus like a champion, I have every confidence there were things that occurred day of that we still have no clue about because she handled it behind the scenes and we never had to hear about it! Madison being her daughter and partner for the events was a huge asset, as they work as a seamless team with a dynamic and inherent understanding of what the other one needs in any given moment. The decision to go with Jackie was easy, her enthusiasm was immediate and genuine. Just one phone call, and we knew we would be working with her. Unlike other potential planners we spoke with, one thing we most enjoyed was her "behind the scenes" attitude. While friendly, excited, and truly a huge fan of love and life partnership, she also maintained very clear professional boundary lines and put the professional relationship first. We feel a genuine kinship and respect blossomed during our time together, but very much appreciated that she was there to do the job first and be friendly with us second. The team has an inventory you can pull from, which we did, and that helped us cut down on some one-time item costs as well (for example, they had a few card box options we could select from to use day of)! Our vendors were already secured prior to connecting with Everlasting Moments, but if you're in the earlier stages of planning I would highly suggest bringing the team in to assist you. Based on our experience with their vendor relationships from our event, they would be a huge asset as you're navigating those handful of "big items" in your planning journey. Everlasting Moments was a gigantic asset to our wedding weekend, worth every penny and then some. Our hope is that every couple getting married has as much of a positive experience with their coordinator/planner as we did! If you're reading this to look for options for your own wedding, many congratulations! Give Jackie and the team a call!

Made our day easy brreezy

Jackie was wonderful to work with. I had a really clear vision of what I wanted and she executed it with beauty bringing creative ideas and suggestions along the way. She coordinated all of our day of vendors seamlessly, made sure our ceremony and reception went off without a hitch and even suggested a makeup artist when I was struggling to find one ing price range. Even though we only did day of coordination- she was always there to answer questions throughout our planning process, and was kind and accessible. She also has a great inventory of decor items we made great use of that also saved us from making a lot of single use purchases! Highly recommend working with her if you want a really easy to work with planner who will be a reliable coordinator on your big day!

Jackie is a super star

Hiring Jackie was the best decision for our wedding! She met with us monthly for a year, keeping us organized and stress-free. She even designed our save-the-dates and invitations herself, which was such a beautiful, personal touch. Jackie also connected us with incredible vendors who brought our vision to life. She truly went above and beyond to make our day special. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a creative and dedicated planner

Trust me, go with Jackie!

I worked with Jackie for my wedding in November 2025, and right from the start, she was so friendly, attentive, and helpful! She called me months in advance to talk through my vision with her and was super helpful in helping me figure out the best way to execute it. She was also super helpful leading up to the wedding, meeting up with me multiple times to go through the timeline and all the last-minute details. She even met up with me at my parents' house to pick up all of my decorations (and I had a lot) a couple days before the wedding.
She and her team went above and beyond with the setup, too! She was able to print and set up the seating chart for me and put together a sizable wedding reception (100 people!) in a pretty tight time crunch! And throughout that, she kept everything going smoothly and on schedule. Any hiccups during the wedding, she had them covered. It was such a pleasure and privilege to work with Jackie for my wedding, and I know that it would not have been possible without her hard work and expertise. If I had to do it over again, I would do it with Jackie!

Wedding 2025!!!

We truly cannot recommend our wedding planner enough! From the very beginning, she was organized, professional, and incredibly supportive. Every detail that was big and small was handled with care, creativity, and precision, which allowed us to actually enjoy the planning process instead of feeling stressed.

On the wedding day itself, everything ran smoothly and seamlessly thanks to their hard work behind the scenes. Any potential issues were handled quickly and calmly without us ever knowing, which gave us complete peace of mind.

Their communication, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what they do made all the difference. If you are looking for someone who will treat your wedding like it’s their own and bring your vision to life flawlessly, this is the planner you want. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our day absolutely perfect.

Fall Wedding in Raleigh

Jackie and her team were very supportive the entire year of our wedding planning. We had multiple meetings during that year that increased closer to the wedding date. Jackie helped secure vendors for us that saved money and her fee paid for itself. She had great knowledge of insurance and permit requirements and helped keep us on track. On wedding day, her team worked hard to setup our space on-time and to keep the wedding timeline moving. We received compliments from our wedding party on their professionalism and Madison was called out as frequently asking our group how she could help them and doing kind things to make it special. Jackie kept us from stressing on wedding day and we appreciated her helping us have a blast with our loved ones and her team’s support that entire day!

Day of Coordination made our wedding a breeze!

We had a wonderful experience using Jackie and Madison for day of coordination! They were able to provide more than I ever thought I would need. Communication was open and easy, she had a great inventory we had access to use which helped to fill in all the small details I would have likely forgotten about, and they anticipated a lot of needs that I didn’t think of. The day of was a breeze thanks to them and I really didn’t even have to think because we trusted them to whip everyone into shape and help make our vision come true! I would recommend anyone consider Everlasting Moments for their coordination!

💍✨ A Huge Thank You to Jackie – Our Wedding Planner, Our Rock, and Now Family ✨💍

There are no words big enough to describe what Jackie meant to us throughout our wedding planning journey. While we didn’t hire her to handle every part of the wedding, she poured her heart into every detail anyway—always showing up, always caring, always guiding us with calm, creativity, and joy.

Jackie didn’t just plan a wedding—she became family. Her patience, warmth, and dedication went far beyond what anyone could expect. Every time we needed help, reassurance, or just someone to keep us grounded, she was there.

We’ve said it before and will say it again: no Jackie, no wedding, no happily ever after. ❤️
We are forever grateful for her heart, her vision, and her kindness. If you’re lucky enough to have Jackie in your corner—whether for a wedding or any event—you’re already in the best hands.

The Perfect Day

Jackie was fantastic and a great hire for us from the start. We hired her for the day of planning/coordinator, but was more than that for us along the way. Jackie definitely takes time to get to know both bride and groom, and what is important to us. She has great vendor recommendations that were helpful and spot on for our needs. I can’t imagine trying to plan our wedding without Jackie there to help with her knowledge and experience. Communication was responsive, informative, and dependable the entire 8 months of our planning our big day. A few of my wedding guests have complimented how perfect everything was, and every detail beautifully thought out…..that compliment goes to Jackie’s attention to detail. If you’re looking for someone you can trust thru the process and that all important day, Jackie with Everlasting Moments will not disappoint!

Above & Beyond Wedding Coordination!!

We hired Jackie from Everlasting Moments as our day-of wedding coordinator for our Pinehurst wedding in June, and I can honestly say she went so far above and beyond that title. From the moment she stepped in, Jackie (and Madison!) handled everything with such calm professionalism and genuine care that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She made sure the entire day ran flawlessly — managing timelines, handling our stationery, keeping every detail in check, and even making sure our guests were on their best behavior (yes, she can work magic!).

Jackie’s attention to detail blew me away. She anticipated needs I didn’t even know I’d have and solved problems before they could reach me. She was so thoughtful that she even ordered a pizza to be waiting in our hotel room after the wedding, which was exactly what we needed after a whirlwind day. That’s the kind of above-and-beyond service you get when you have someone who truly cares about their couples.

If you want a wedding coordinator who will be your calm in the chaos, your advocate, your problem-solver, and your biggest supporter, hire Jackie. She doesn’t just make sure your day is beautiful — she makes sure you get to fully enjoy it. I cannot recommend Everlasting Moments by Jackie enough!
