Expert Guidance Every Step of the Way

Choosing Nicole Conder as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. She is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients. She helped us find amazing vendors, guided us through every decision, answered countless questions, and kept everything moving smoothly while still giving us the time we needed to make important choices. Several vendors told us we had the best planner in town—and they were right. Our wedding was an absolute joy, and we have Premier Party Planners to thank for so much of that. Highly recommended!

Tara is a rockstar!

Tara with Premier Party Planners is an absolute rockstar! I work with a lot of fantastic event planners in this area, but Tara truly operates on another level. She brings the perfect mix of flawless organization and a relaxed, friendly vibe that makes working with her an absolute dream. She stays completely on top of the timeline, pivots effortlessly when changes pop up, and always keeps everyone on the same page. Everything is just a breeze when she is running the show. If you want someone who will have your back 100% and make your wedding completely stress-free, hire Tara. You'll be in the best hands possible!

Elizabeth was wonderful.

Wedding Coordination Service w/h Tara - Indian/Catholic Wedding

Tara did an incredible job coordinating our big day! She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything unfolded exactly as we had envisioned. From managing all the vendors to keeping everything on track, she made the entire day feel seamless and as stress-free as possible.

Although Tara had limited experience with Indian-Catholic weddings, she gave us complete confidence from our very first consultation that she would handle everything with care and dedication. As detail-oriented (and admittedly Type-A) as we are, she still managed to highlight important elements we hadn’t considered, and her experience really shone through.

On the day itself, Tara and her team were by our side for over 16 hours, even going the extra mile to grab energy drinks for the wedding party before the reception. Thank you, Tara, for keeping everything running so smoothly! ❤️

10/10 Vendor Partner

Tara was a dream to work with as her chalk artist for a recent wedding in Durham! She was organized, friendly and professional throughout the booking and planning process. I have no doubt this translated to a more carefree and celebratory day for the couple. I highly recommend Premier Party Planners for your wedding or event!

You need PPP.

Nicole is an angel on earth! We can’t recommend her enough. She was extremely communicative & prompt throughout the entire process pre-wedding, & absolutely knocked it out of the park on wedding day. Her & her team (Elizabeth & Ava, also amazing) at Premier Party Planners made sure our wedding weekend ran so smoothly, & all while smiling & being so warm & kind. Coming from a type-A-control-freak-bride, I am SO thankful that I didn’t have to lift a finger day-of, & I was able to relax & truly enjoy our wedding day, with full confidence knowing Nicole was running the show. If you’re reading this & debating whether a planner or coordinator is worth it, or whether PPP is the right team for you, do it!! You’ve come to the right place. Worth every penny (& much, much more) to have Nicole & PPP on board your wedding vendor team! Being able to fully enjoy my wedding day while someone else handles it all was absolutely PRICELESS.

Weddings Won't Happen Without Summer

It doesn't matter what time of year you are planning your wedding. You will need to have Summer from Premier Party Planners helping you out. She was absolutely amazing every step of the way. I and my wife were very naive on how much goes into planning a wedding and if you are looking to follow a traditional plan for a wedding you cannot go wrong when selecting a wedding planner then going with Premier and Summer.

Seamless experience!

We have worked with Tara of Premier Party planners for three events and could not be more impressed with their professional, attention to detail, and love of their clients and vendors. As a photo booth business owner I can always breathe easy when an event is booked with Tara - no details missed and always perfection!

Nicole & Cody’s Wedding

Having Tara on board as part of our wedding planning process was one of the best decisions we made! From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly cared about bringing our vision to life. Every detail was thoughtfully handled—from coordinating vendors to managing the timeline—so that we could enjoy the day without stress.

On the wedding day, Tara made everything run seamlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing; she kept everyone on schedule, problem-solved behind the scenes, and made sure we were fully present with our family and friends.

Tara was professional, kind, supportive, and made us feel calm and confident throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for all her hard work and can’t recommend her enough to any couples who are planning their wedding!

Couldn't recommend more!

We said it multiple times throughout the process that we would not have had the wedding we did without Summer at Premier Party Planners! Throughout the entire process and on the day of the wedding, we didn't worry about a single thing. She had every detail timed and planned out.
We can't say enough amazing things about our experience with Summer and how beautiful our wedding turned out thanks to her! Would highly recommend using as people who were too busy to think and plan out the little details to make everything beautiful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Nicole has been a pleasure to work with on several occasions .. she is always very professional and keeps things running smoothly on the wedding day, while being a good communicator leading up to the big day. This is very important for wedding planners, and Nicole is one of the best we've found in the Raleigh area for being on top of everything and well organized. You will love her, if you hire her to help plan and run your wedding :) xoxo
