    We live in New York and were married in Miami, so much of our wedding planning with Carmen was done via phone and email. Carmen was very responsive and helpful for the 9 months we spent planning.
    In our very limited time in Miami to meet with vendors, she handled the logistics for our back to back vendor meetings efficiently and was very organized. She also recommended great vendors within our budget. We felt that in every situation she had our best interest and we truly trusted her judgement.
    On the wedding day, she helped everyone stay on track, including all the vendors, and provided an epic timeline admired by all who recieved it! Her assistant was responsible for setting up our venue (along with our florist) of which she did a perfect and beautiful job!
    We were lucky to have found Carmen! Her professionalism and experience in the wedding planning industry was evident. She also displayed passion for what she does, something we can't imagine you'd find in just any wedding planner.
    Thank you Carmen for making our wedding planning and wedding day such a successful and memorable experience!

    Carmen was recommended to us by a friend during a time when I was super stressed and very overwhelmed with vendor selections and planning our Miami destination wedding. During our initial phone meeting, I knew that she was the planner that we desperately needed. Her spirit and her experience spoke volumes to me about what my wedding experience would be like if we hired her. She suggested great vendors, chimed in on things we should consider when choosing a vendor, and made sure all bases were covered. The wedding weekend, Carmen was in her element making sure that everything and everyone was set and where they needed to be like a Logistical Queen. I was actually stress free and able to enjoy our wedding day. Looking back, if I could do it all over again, knowing what I know about the wedding planning process, I would still choose Carmen. She was very professional and very, very attentive, making sure that we weren't just agreeing to something that we weren't in love with. My advice to any couple planning a wedding is definitely hire a planner, and if you can, hire Carmen! She is awesome!

    The Best Investment I Made!

    I wanted to take the time to share my memorable experience working with Carmen Mesa as my Wedding/ Event Planner. I can relate to the feelings associated with planning a wedding while, trying to balance career, life - in conjunction with... "doing it all."

    I realized I needed to seek the guidance and expertise of a professional and after doing some research, I found Carmen. I was impressed with her years of experience in the industry, credentials as a Master Planner finally, after reading multiple reviews regarding her previous clients, I knew I had to contact her.

    From my initial phone conversation with Carmen I was relieved and confident I made the right decision. I wasnt sure if my budget would allow for an Wedding Planner but she was reasonable and fair. I partned with a warm, personal, pleasant and seasoned professional who not only shared her creativity but also listened to my ideas, offered fresh alternatives and resolved any concerns.

    Carmen was thorough and organized from beginning to end. She evaluated and maintained every vendor contract via email, liaison and coordinated with vendors. Needless to say, I was fortunate and extremely satisified with her referrals for Floral, Videography and Speciality Musical Services.

    My wedding day was seamless. Carmen and her team nailed it! I know, its tempting to look for ways to make cut backs while planning your special day however you can't put a price tag on a peace of mind. By utilitizing Carmen's services, I was able to focus on creating new memories with my new husband, family and friends.

    Carmen Mesa Weddings and Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sharon. I truly enjoyed working with you. Wishing you and Leo much love, health and happiness!

    Carmen was simply amazing. She took care of everything for us in such a perfect way that I did not have a care in the world other than enjoying the most important day of my life. She was professional, organized, and all of my guest ranted and raved about her services. Please hire Carmen Mesa for your next event. You won't regret it!

    How do you summarize a review for the one person who kept it all together and made sure I had all my bases covered when I didn't even know what base I was on or running towards? She was a lifesaver and I can't imagine how I would have pulled it all off without her! All of her recommendations for vendors were dead on - not one single disappointment. Anytime I mentioned her name it was a discount here or favor there. Even with her referral, she was always looking out for us and reviewed every contract and every detail. With our decor, she found ways to reduce the cost without compromising our vision. All of the vendors were super excited to work with her and it ended up the best thing everyone had worked together before so everything was in sync and on point. As much as they talked about the food or how pretty the place was, my guests equally talked about Carmen, "your wedding coordinator was amazing/awesome....the best thing you ever did!" She is super patient, warm, welcoming and inviting yet uber professional - just who you need when someone is planning one of the biggest and most intimate moment of your life. I can't articulate it all - just book her, you will not be disappointed!

    Carmen is absolutely the best find when it comes to wedding planning! From the first moment I spoke to her I knew I had to have her. She was right there for me from the very beginning. She introduced me to the amazing team of vendors that made our wedding the absolute best wedding EVER! She was there to calm me down when wedding details started becoming overwhelming. I seriously do not know how I would have pulled this off had it not been for Carmen. Not only did Carmen provide exceptional service, she also became a good friend. I call her "My Fairy Godmother"! She did not let anyone or anything stand in the way of making my day the most amazing day I have ever had! I know my wedding would not have been the same without Carmen. She made my wedding day dreams come true!

    Carmen Mesa was fantastic as our wedding planner. We are from NC and we were planning a wedding in Florida without any of our friends or family being there to help and we weren't able to fly to Florida to do any of the planning before the wedding ourselves. If it wasn't for Carmen it wouldn't have happened!

    She was very attentive to all of our needs and responded to texts/phone calls/emails immediately (and always within 24 hours). She thought of all the details that we didnt even think of and helped us pick the most reliable and best vendors that made our day perfect. The best part was that on the day of the wedding, there wasn't a single thing I had to do or worry about. She took care of everything.

    Overall, I would absolutely 100% recommend Carmen Mesa as your wedding coordinator!!! She's by far the best :)

    My husband and I sat with a florist for 3 hours and left being as confused as ever. Then we came across Carmen and regret we didn't meet with her sooner. She brought the entire event together and saw our vision within our budget. We had a major sigh of relief after having met with her. The venue looked absolutely amazing and our bouquets were gorgeous!!! Thank you Carmen and so sorry it took us so long to review.

    Carmen was an amazing wedding planner and decorator. She exceeded my expectations with every service she provided. The reception room was stunning (all done by her) and the feedback from my guests was 100% positive. Carmen handled all the details on wedding day and created a carefree experience for me (MOB), my husband, and the bride and groom. I would use her again for any and every ocassion. Perfect would sum up everything she did for the special day. Also, every vendor she recommended exceeded my expectations, just like she did. I now consider Carmen and her company a staple and a friend for all our future occasions. Best thing I did was use her services. If you think you can't afford a wedding planner, I assure you, you can't afford NOT TO USE Carmen! Thanks so much, Mary Quinn

    C&C Designs has provided Wedding Planner Services as well as Flowers and Decor for both my daughter's weddings. They are professionals at their craft. They made their weddings beautiful and fun. They become part of your family during the planning stages of the wedding and what can I say about the wedding day. They make sure EVERYTHING is amazing and just about perfect. They are one step ahead of everyone and they make sure that everything flows smoothly between the vendors and the venue. These ladies do all the hard work during that day so you can relax and enjoy the wedding. Their flower designs are beautiful!!

    The flowers that C & C Designs did for me wedding were beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect from the ceremony to the bouquets to the reception room. All of my guests commented on how innovative our centerpieces were. We couldn't have been more thrilled with how everything looked. Cathy and Carmen were a pleasure to work with. They are creative and artistic and truly care about the final outcome.

    C&C Designs basically blew our minds away. Not only did they understood our concept and vision right away, they OVER delivered! My husband and I still can't believe how amazing everything looked! Every single guest came up to us and told us that our decorations were unbelievable and that our wedding looking like a million bucks! This was all because of the hard work from C&C Designs. Words can't express how happy we were to have worked with them. I highly highly recommend this vendor since they will ensure your dream wedding will become a reality.

    AMAZING JOB!!

    Carmen was so easy to work with. We gave her our budget and ideas of what I would like and she waved her magic wand and made it happen.
    She was a trooper as our ceremony & reception were in the same spot. So she had to set up the reception centerpieces after our ceremony. I couldn't have asked for a better florist! She has patience, creativity, and flexibility. It was a pleasure having her be apart of our special day.
    Thank you Carmen :)

    Carmen and her team were absolutely great! My husband and I are still getting phone calls, emails and numerous comments about how beautiful everything turned out. The ceremony, the table decorations, the flowers- everything was fabulous! Carmen definitely listened to all of our ideas and helped bring our vision to life. She also referred us to our other vendors- the band and the wedding photographer- who both did an excellent job. Nothing was done without our approval, they were all very professional and they made sure we actually ate dinner and wedding cake! We had the wedding of our dreams and it was all with the help of everyone at C & C. Thank you!!!!

    I was very happy to have Carmen Mesa as our flower designer! From the first time I met with her through the wedding day she was professional, caring, and responsible. On the day of the wedding and in the weeks right before I did not have to worry about anything. She did a great job. The quality was top notch, and I really appreciated the quality of her professionalism too.

    The centerpieces and bouquets that Carmen created for my wedding were FABUOUS. The centerpieces with purple and green flowers on white-washed, vintage-inspired urns were everything I never knew I wanted for my wedding! She also created lush bouquets with hydrangea and tulips in green and purple to complement the exact green of my bridesmaid dresses, and in all white for me.

    As a budget-conscious bride I was often not treated well by vendors. Carmen was professional and was willing to work with our tight budget without compromising quality, elegance, or customer service. This is something that no other vendor was able or willing to do with respect to flowers. I credit that to her experience, creativity, and above all, the care with which she treats her brides. I highly recommend Carmen and C&C Designs!

    C&C Designs and Flowers was truly amazing. The flowers they chose, the colors, the designs and arrangements were incredible and exceeded my expectations in everyway. In my opinion flowers can make or break a wedding, thanks to C&C my wedding was the most beautiful I, and my guests, had ever seen. The hotel venue even asked to show the photos of the arrangements and decor on their website. Not only did the beauty of the wedding make a lasting impression but working with C&C was a pleasure. They were always available, open to suggestions, had wonderful taste, were creative and kind and just simply great in everyway.
