Day of Coordinator:

Mingle's goal is to make sure that your wedding day is as smooth and seamless as possible and that you have no idea if your baker is late, your sister has a mimosa stain on her dress, or your father is choking up just thinking about his baby becoming a wife! . This package focuses on executing the logistics and ensures that you can actually enjoy your big day. This package will give you confidence that the event you have planned is being managed with the utmost care and with every detail in mind. Even though this package is clearly named "day of" we want you to know that we are more hands on than that. We will jump in feet first around 60 days before your nuptials. At this time we will get to know who you have selected as your vendors and how you envision all of the details coming together. Next up is drafting a timeline and communicating with your vendors so that everyone knows and understands their role. You do the planning, we execute your hard-work!

Partial Planning:

Partial Planning takes "day of coordination" to the next level. This package provides support and guidance throughout the final stages of your planning process and perfect execution of the event festivities.. No matter what step you are in your planning we will take the reigns and help alleviate some of your wedding stresses. This package offers assistance with vendors yet to be booked, outsourcing and managing rentals and refining all the logistical details so that you can rest assure things run smooth and seamless on your big day!

Full Planning:

You've said YES!, now let Mingle take care of the rest! The Full Planning service is an all-inclusive experience for a busy bride or one that just does not know where to start. This package offers expertise and guidance for the entire journey. We will provide budget guidance and management, vendor recommendation and etiquette expertise, contract review, event design, hotel and transportation logistics and management of all the personal details.

This package is highly recommended for our destination wedding clients because it includes everything you need to

plan from afar.

Best Planner in NC

Like many brides, I debated hiring a wedding planner. Now that I have lived through the process and my wedding day, I firmly believe it is the best money we spent on our wedding. I worked with Candance and Mingle Events through their 60 day out + day of coordinator service. This service was perfect for us. We laid the groundwork of the planning–booking vendors (Candace’s recommended vendor list helped a lot!), developing our vision, and taking care of general planning details like guest lists, invites, etc. Candace and her team took over 2 months out from the wedding day. By then, I was feeling the stress of wedding planning. At the end of our first walkthrough meeting, it felt like the weight of the wedding had been lifted off of my shoulders. Candace’s attention to detail was clearly apparent, and she thought of so many details we never would have considered. Candace took our plans and executed them beyond our expectations–our vision would not have come to life without her.She is clearly an expert at what she does, and it is easy to tell how well respected she is. Every vendor said “wow, she’s incredible!” when I told them she was my planner.

I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. We were able to fully enjoy and be present during our wedding day, which was an incredible gift. She took care of every detail, adapted to last minute changes, and kept us laughing throughout! Her entire team was a delight to work with, and I cannot recommend Candace and Mingle events enough!

Caroline with Mingle is THE best!

If you aren't sure about a wedding planner, my advice would be to absolutely include it in your budget! I chose a wedding package through my venue that had a planner included, and I was paired with Caroline with Mingle, and it truly was the perfect match. She listened to all of my ideas and visions and made them a reality without me having to stress out. She would email me and sit on calls with me with vendors to make sure that my ideas were being heard. Most importantly, I really trusted her with my big day, and she did not disappoint. Aside from being incredible as a planner, she is just genuinely a good person. I'd highly recommend her to alleviate the stress of wedding planning and making sure your day reflects you as a couple!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
