Talented and Creative!

From the very beginning, Candace helped us realize that we weren't just planning a wedding for ourselves—we were also hosting an experience for our guests. That perspective completely changed the way we approached our day and helped us create a celebration that felt welcoming, thoughtful, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

One thing we appreciated so much was that Candace didn't just tell us what to do—she took the time to explain why certain things needed to be done a certain way. Whether it was the timeline, floor plan, guest flow, or event logistics, she always helped us understand how each decision would impact the overall experience. Her guidance made it easy to trust the process because everything had a purpose and was designed to make the day flow as smoothly as possible.

Candace also has an incredible eye for design. She helped bring our vision to life in a way that felt elegant, cohesive, and completely personal to us. Every detail came together beautifully, and our guests are still talking about how stunning everything looked.

Most importantly, she made us feel supported throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, we were able to relax, be present, and enjoy every moment knowing everything was being handled. If you're looking for a planner who is not only talented and creative but also thoughtful, organized, and genuinely invested in your experience, Overjoyed Weddings & Events is the team to hire.

Stress-Free Wedding in Highlands

Overjoyed Weddings and Events was an incredible partner for our wedding in Highlands, NC. From the beginning, Candace brought a level of organization and clarity that made the entire process feel manageable. Even during more stressful or overwhelming moments, she was there every step of the way—steady, responsive, and always helping us move forward with confidence. One of the things we appreciated most was her perspective on design; she helped us think beyond just what we wanted and guided us to create a thoughtful experience for our guests as well. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly and according to plan, and we were able to fully enjoy it without worrying about the details. Candace is professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to her clients—we highly recommend Overjoyed to anyone planning a wedding in Highlands or the surrounding mountain areas.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Overjoyed Weddings and Events was amazing to work with. Candace made everything feel so much easier and kept us calm the whole way through. Any time something felt stressful, she already had a plan—and that meant everything to us.

We had the best fall wedding in North Carolina!

We are so thankful we hired Candace for our fall wedding in Asheville. Since we were planning from out of town it was so helpful to have someone local to be there on our behalf. We choose full planning and are so thanful we did it.

Thank you for being apart of such an important day!

Perfect Fit

Candace was an amazing planner! We did partial planning, and she helped connect us to some vendors such as transportation, rentals and DJ. She helped me create the vision I wanted. She's a great communicator and checks in as frequently as necessary. She was able to be with me to check the venue site a year in advance, communicated to vendors for me, be present at the wedding rehearsal and the wedding day. I couldn't do a wedding without her and her husband!
