The best best

Having Carol as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our special day. From the moment we met her, her warmth and professionalism shone through. Carol was not just a planner; she was a beacon of calm and creativity in the often overwhelming whirlwind of wedding preparations. Her organizational skills were impeccable. Carol anticipated needs we didn't even know we had, and handled every detail with such finesse that what we thought would be stressful turned into an enjoyable experience. She was always one step ahead, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was taken care of seamlessly. What truly set Carol apart was her incredible ability to listen and then elevate our ideas with her creativity and experience. She provided suggestions that perfectly aligned with our vision, adding a touch of uniqueness and flair that made our wedding feel personalized and special. Her kindness and capability were evident in every interaction, not just with us but with all our vendors and guests. Carol managed to take what could have been a hectic day and turned it into a beautiful, flowing event that we will cherish forever. Carol was more than a planner; she was a dream maker. Her blend of efficiency, creativity, and warmth made our wedding a breathtakingly beautiful and stress-free event. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding planner than Carol from Flying Little Birds. From the very beginning, she was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, and so detail-oriented. She also has such a warm, genuine personality that made us feel comfortable from the start. She was constantly anticipating things before we even thought to ask about them. She always had plans A through E prepared for every situation, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. When the wedding weekend arrived, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to completely relax and enjoy it.

Carol also has an incredibly tasteful eye for design and consistently came to the table with thoughtful, innovative ideas that elevated our vision. From food and beverage, to design, to the overall flow of the day, she was always thinking creatively about how to make the experience better. One of the most meaningful parts of the wedding was how thoughtfully she helped incorporate our culture throughout the day. So many of our guests noticed and commented on all of the special details and nods to our backgrounds.

Her relationships with her vendors are also such a testament to the kind of planner and person she is. Again and again, we heard vendors speak so highly of Carol, and it was clear how respected she is within the industry.

By the end of the process, Carol genuinely felt like part of the family. We loved working with her, trusted her completely, and are so grateful for everything she did to bring our dream wedding together. At the end of the day, our wedding felt extremely personal to us, which is exactly what we wanted. We could not recommend her enough!!

wonderful experience

Working with Carol from Flying Little Birds has been an absolute pleasure. As a wedding cake designer, I’ve collaborated with many planners, but Carol truly stands out for her exceptional professionalism, organization, and clear communication. Carol and her team foster a supportive and seamless environment, handle challenges gracefully, and ensure every detail is flawlessly executed. Partnering with her makes it effortless for vendors to deliver their best work. I wholeheartedly recommend Carol to both couples and fellow vendors!

Great custom experience!!!

Flying Little Birds and Carol specifically, made our bat mitzvah dreams a reality! Carol was so caring and thoughtful, making sure to get input from our daughter and then seeing her vision through to the final and amazing event!

Carol has incredible ideas, is on top of all details, dates and relationships with the vendors. Everything came together beautifully!

Best event planning and execution ever!

Carol was a pleasure to work with. I am lucky to have found her and worked with her to plan our baby shower, especially remotely from Boston. Carol understood my vision and enhanced it greatly! She was highly communicative and helped make the whole decision-making process for my pregnancy brain seamless!
She gave the best suggestions and executed them perfectly! She also helped greatly in suggesting and coordinating with all the different vendors. Full marks to Carol as an event planner and florist!! She is so passionate about her work, and that reflects in her job.
We couldn't have had a dreamier baby shower. She was like the best friend that was throwing us our baby shower. If we were to have another event in the NYC area, I wouldn't think twice before hiring her!

My husband and I recently celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary. With the professional advice of Carol, our party was amazing. She expertly guided us through all the large and small details of party planning which created a very special event, In setting up a photo op, her talent for organization and creativity made it possible for each family member to be photographed in various groupings. The photographer was very impressed how smoothly the photo op went in such a timely manner. Thanks to you, Carol! She also edited and organized a “picture wall” where the photos will be displayed for all to enjoy. Whether you’re planning a large wedding or small party, Carol is the event planner you want to help you create beautiful memories. She’s a jewel…..

Amazing Floral Design!

Carol did such a fantastic job with the florals for our wedding. She was able to take our vision to life and created the most beautiful wedding of our dreams. Every detail was absolutely magical. It's evident that her experience as a planner really takes the floral design to another level as she's thinking of the entire day and not just a singular component of the day. Don't hesitate to book with Flying Little Birds!

Carol is a talented decorator and a trusted advisor

We started planning our wedding ceremony in January 2020 and finally managed to do it in June 2022. Since the beginning, we knew we were in Carol's good hands. Ultimately, everything was perfect and everyone really praised the decorations! We really enjoyed working with Carol and found her guidance and advice invaluable throughout the two-year period of setbacks. We recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
