Elizabeth is AMAZING!!

Our planner Elizabeth was everything we could’ve asked for in a planner. She went above and beyond constantly to ensure we had everything we needed leading up to the wedding and on the day of. She communicated with our vendors to ensure that they had everything they needed for us to have a successful day. Elizabeth is so sweet and cared so much about making this day perfect for us. We could not have had the wedding we did without her!

Amazing!!! Saved the day multiple times!!

If there is one thing I learned throughout the planning process, it would be to HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER! I cannot stress enough how amazing Premier Party Planners were for my big day and throughout the process. We were paired with Elizabeth, who was the kindest, most organized person on the planet. She had great open communication throughout the entire planning process and really stepped in to save the day multiple times the month of. If anything went wrong on the day of, I wouldn’t have known because Elizabeth was so on top of everything. As someone who is not in the event planning industry, it is vital to have someone looking out for you in the way a planner can. Elizabeth saved me from almost making a very costly mistake and jumped in so quickly to help me resolve the issue right away! She not only made sure we were well taken care of on the day of but also always knew where to go and what was next. I had many guests tell me it was the most organized and seamless wedding they had attended, and that is really attributed to our fantastic planner. Not only was she professional and great to work with, but she is genuinely a kind person and fun to chat with. The Premier Party Planning team made us feel so special on our wedding day, and we look back with such fond memories of how amazing our vendor team was. I would recommend their services to my closest friends and family and cannot express my gratitude enough for this amazing team!

The best Wedding Planner EVER

Hiring Tara was the best thing I ever did. Words can not express the level of professionalism, organization, and kindness Tara provided. The biggest stresses: seating chart, venders, last minute details she made seamless. I would call Tara all stressed, about to be in tears and by the end of our phone call all problems were resolved because she found every solution. We are Greek Orthodox so that can be intimidating for most; not for Tara, she was so prepared, knew every tradition; some better than myself. She HANDMADE my seating chart cards, name another planner who would go to that level. I promise you wont. I was having a really hard time with my venue and Tara came in and made sure every single detail was executed to perfection. She stood up for me when I was overwhelmed and didnt know what to say. Her dynamic ability made it so I had 0 stress the day of my wedding. I also really loved all the connections Premier Party Planners provided. Tara made our wedding the best it could be. I am forever grateful for you. You have set the standard for wedding planning and when I have another event or one of my friends gets engaged you will be the first person I call.

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
