From a 2020 bride to a 2021 bride

Michele has been nothing but the best thing that has happened to my fiancé and this year. Through the crazy roller coaster of events that happened in 2020, Michele was able to relieve the stress of having to postpone our wedding and even find a new venue. We are more than blessed to have Michele apart of this journey with us. But more than anything I’m so excited to see her work her magic next year when we FINALLY get married!

Michele is amazing !!

Michele has been an absolute dream to work with. We knew we needed to hire a wedding coordinator for two reasons #1 we live 5 hours from where the wedding is being held and we needed someone to help us with the local vendors and handle all the little details and #2 as much as a control freak that I am I wanted someone that I trust to takeover so I can just be MOM and enjoy this special time. Her communication with us and our vendors has been amazing. There are not enough word to express how thankful we are to have her as apart of this wonderful journey.

2020 Now 2021 Bride

This year has been a whirlwind to say the least and having to postpone our wedding was definitely a difficult decision. But we knew it was for the best and that we would eventually have our wedding when the time was right. Michele Carrol Events has been a huge help during this time. Tara Sanchez made the process of rescheduling a new date with our vendors virtually seamless. Her coordination made it super easy and it took off unneeded stress from our plate. I can't imagine how we could have done it without her! Even before we decided to officially postpone, Tara worked with us through our options and let us know that whatever we decided she would be there to support our decision and see our wedding vision through. We are very excited for 2021 and we can rest assured that we have Michele Carroll Events to help see us through to our big day!

Where do I begin?!

I could write a novel about Michele and how wonderful she is. Michele has gone above and beyond to help make my dream wedding come true, not once..but twice (thanks to Covid). She is very trustworthy, attentive to detail, organized, responsive, and most importantly knows how to keep it her brides at ease during this whole wedding planning process. Michele is truly a ray of sunshine and we couldn’t of done anything without her. She’s like family now!

Michele is the best!

Michele never missed a beat. Michele is so organized, professional and confident. She has mastered the art of planning. I was so astonished at how calm I was during the planning process! Michele was able to track down a 100 year old wood cross for our ceremony! The day of my wedding Michele and her staff helped run a beautiful, smooth day.

Very pleased

I didn’t think I needed a coordinator. I thought we could do it all but after I sat down with Michele the first time I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Michele was so knowledgeable she looked over all our contact to make sure all details were covered. She found us a florist and a baker for wedding cake. They were excellent recommendations. I could call her any time and she always got back to me in a timely fashion. The day of the wedding Michele and her team took care of everything I didn’t worry about anything I was able to enjoy my daughters wedding and visit with my guests. The gifts were put away in a safe place and all our decorations were packed up for us so all we had to do the next morning was load them in our trailer. It was money well spent for a job well done. Thank you to Michele and her team❤️

Loved working with Michelle!

Michelle was amazing to work with this past year. She was very responsive to emails and text which made things much more easy-going, especially with planning a destination wedding. She recommended some great vendors along the way, even if we did not use all of them they were all very professional and helfpul with providing information. The day of was very relaxed and ran smoothly! She made my vision for our wedding come true. I would highly recommend any bride working with Michelle and her team!

Calm, Cool, & Collected

I had the pleasure of assisting Michele with her weddings at Avila Beach Golf Resort on 8/10/19 and 10/19/19. Michele and I are both members of San Luis Obispo Wedding Planners, and we all try to help each other out and assist with each other's weddings whenever possible. I always love working with Michele because she is so calm, cool, and collected at all times. There is never any stress! She treats her vendors very well and is always professional from start to finish. Michele seems to constantly be in several places at once, and is always ready to provide her couples with immediate assistance. Her weddings are beautifully designed and all of her couples are consistently happy. I love that Michele also goes above and beyond by offering decor (she has SO MANY candles), s'mores stations, donut walls, you name it! I always have an amazing experience working with Michele, and I would assist her a million more times!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
