I am so glad that I decided to hire Little Black Dress Events for my day of coordination and set-up/tear-down for my wedding and reception. The only mistake I made was not hiring them sooner. I spent every day clear up until hiring LBD stressing about the wedding and wondering if it was going to turn out the way I wanted it to. I know that if I would have hired LBD sooner I wouldn't have had to worry about any of that. The day I hired LBD all of my stress disappeared. Misti made sure I had no worries about anything. My wedding day was perfect. To my knowledge there wasn't a single mistake made and I owe that all to Misti, Bailey and Devon. They really are AMAZING!!!!! If you think you don't have room in your budget for a wedding planner my advice would be to MAKE ROOM. It is worth every single penny to be able to relax on your wedding day and be worry free. Thank you Little Black Dress Events!!!

I got to be truly present and in the moment for my wedding thanks to Misti and Little Black Dress Events!

When I hired Misti and LBD Events, I was from OH, living in TX, and wanting to get married in NC. I thought I was going to be flying back and forth, driving my fiance crazy with details, and fully expected to be completely stressed the entire time. NONE of that was the case thanks to Misti. I flew to NC once before the wedding to meet with vendors (which she fully set up and had a timeline ready for me), she handled every single detail leading up to and the day of the wedding. and I was never stressed. I truly got to be in the moment and present the day of my wedding and if anything went wrong, I still don't know about it to this day because she handled it. I also sent Misti inspiration pictures and we talked about my vision, she designed and brought my dream to life without me having to lift a finger that day of the wedding. It was magical and to this day, I would not change a thing thanks to her. She has to best knowledge of vendors in NC and can help you make planning and decision making fun and enjoyable. I 1000% recommend hiring her as your wedding planner!

Misti is the best wedding planner I've seen. She stayed so calm against the odds the first time we worked one of her weddings, and seeing her keeping her cool helped everyone involved. She puts the success of the wedding above all for the day and does so in a manner that makes everyone involved happy to be a part of it. She is pleasant to all of the other vendors and makes sure they all work together for the best possible outcome. I would work every one of her events if I could!
