Tara with PPP is the best!

Tara with Premier was the absolute best day-of coordinator we could have asked for. Throughout the entire planning process, she was quick to reply to texts and emails with any questions we had. We truly would not have been able to have as enjoyable a wedding day as we did without her!

Our wedding 7/27/24

Tara was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we started working together, she was always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how small. Her coordination with the vendors was flawless, ensuring everyone was on the same page, which really helped alleviate a lot of the stress I was feeling.

One of the things I appreciated most about Tara was how she managed to make me feel more at ease. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Tara’s calm and organized approach made the experience so much more enjoyable. She also went above and beyond in helping with my family, showing incredible attention to detail and addressing any concerns with patience and care.

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, I highly recommend Tara. She truly made our wedding day everything we hoped it would be.

Best Wedding Planner Around!

Nicole was so wonderful! The amount of knowledge she brings to wedding planning is truly incredible, she will think of every detail for your wedding before it even occurs to you. For my wedding she came highly recommended by my venue and I understood why immediately. I hired her for full service wedding planning and she was there for ever step of the process and made it so easy and stress free. On the actual day of the wedding, I had zero stress because I knew she had taken care of everything and I got to just enjoy my day and not worry over any of the details with vendors or anything like that!
Nicole is also just remarkably sweet and such a wonderful person to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and cannot say enough great things about how excellent her wedding planning skills are!
She is the absolute best!

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
