Carolina Event Design Review
Heather and the whole Carolina Event Design team were absolutely incredible in making my wedding dreams come true, and made the day/weekend so perfect without a stress or worry throughout the whole weekend. Best money we ever spent, and you will not regret it if you do the same! -

Outstanding - a consummate professional
Heather and the Carolina Event Design team exceeded our expectations for service, wedding planning and execution in EVERY way! First, she's a lot of fun and easy to work with but more importantly, she is an expert and has a great way of serving as a needed coach and trusted advisor while letting us make the decisions.
Our daughter's' wedding was a fairly large affair (200 guests) at both church and reception venues and we planned it from across the country. In addition, our original wedding planner needed to withdraw from our contract for personal reasons, so we connected with Heather just two months before the wedding date. From the get-go, Heather instilled confidence! Her style is an incredible combination of highly efficient execution and necessary assertiveness, coupled with constant attention to our style, needs and desires.
I especially appreciate the way Heather worked with all our vendors, including the band manager, caterer, florist, etc. She also ran the rehearsal. Heather has a great sense of style; leading the design of our venue (Uptown Mint), and even grabbed a curling iron and touched up the brides hair just before the ceremony.
Weddings are such a significant financial and emotional investment, and having Heather directing the day changed our entire demeanor and made the planning and day of activities seamless. We were able to revel in our daughter's wedding without stress or worry. It was such a joyous and impeccably orchestrated day - I can't imagine the wedding without Heather and her team's (we loved Hannah, too!) leadership. -

Hands down the best money we could have spent on our wedding weekend! Heather and her team seriously take care of everything and truly allow you and your groom/family/friends just show up and enjoy the weekend. After all that planning, who wants to stress during the actual events? NOT ME! If anything went wrong, I had no clue, the CED team took care of it. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and a great resource for any question or decision we had to make along the way. They always went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and exactly how I'd imagine it to be! Not only would I recommend/strongly suggest them for wedding planning, but any important event I would highly recommend! They are truly the best! :) -

The Best Team for your Perfect Day!
There is no one else I would’ve wanted to help us plan our wedding weekend. From the beginning, Heather was always a step ahead which made us actually ENJOY our engagement and planning process.
I have worked in the wedding industry for several years – Heather was one of the first wedding planners I had the pleasure of working with at my current property and she completely blew me away with her services and what she designed for the clients. 4 years later – I was engaged and my first email was to Heather and her team to make sure they were available! From the beginning, she sat down with my family and fiancé and we walked through our budget and walked us through the process and what to expect. She managed our budget to ensure we stayed within our budget and helped get the best ‘bang-for-our-buck’ where it really mattered to us. She had so many resources at her disposal and knew the right people to work with to make sure our vision was complete. Working in the event industry – there are a lot of things you see and I really wanted to do a fully designed wedding where it was unlike something I had seen before. Heather worked her magic and did above and beyond what we asked. More importantly – she was a great person all around and would check in on us and how we were feeling throughout the process. She handled my crazy (very late night) emails with grace and could immediately calm me down with how detailed she was and had it all handled. Planning a wedding (big or small) – you always need someone who is going to be honest and realistic for you – this was Heather.
Our wedding weekend came – Heather was such a reliable and FUN resource for our family. As we all know how overwhelming and fast things start to go once the wedding week is upon us – Heather made sure we were enjoying ourselves and that things were flowing perfectly. The day of went by so quickly – but she was with us the whole time making sure we were not only on time and truly enjoying ourselves. We would turn around and there was Heather already anticipating what we may have needed! What an incredible team to work with and they are so talented at what they do. My Dad even toasted to Heather in his welcome speech! I would highly recommend Heather and her team for ANY type of event. No. Questions. Asked.

User2554487 Sent on 03/15/2016My wedding weekend was the most fun, special, exciting days of my life and I owe a lot of that to Heather! I was a bride that needed a lot of suggestions/ideas, help deciding on things and help getting things done/scheduled. I am not very creative, I had no preconceived notions on what I wanted and I have a full time job which all would have made it impossible to plan and execute a wedding on my own. I was so thrilled with the way everything turned out and I felt like I barely had to lift a finger throughout the process. I am still consistently getting compliments on my wedding and I know it is because everything was well-done, well-thought out and well-executed (all by Heather) and the guests could tell. My dad was very hyper-sensitive about the logistics of the day and had a few very specific ideas and Heather did a great job of going above and beyond to listen to his concerns/ideas, come up with solutions and follow through to make sure they were addressed and communicated well before wedding day. I have already and will continue to recommend Heather to all of my engaged friends. She made the most special day of my life up until this point just that - special! -
User2164496 Sent on 06/04/2015My now-husband and I worked primarily with Heather Bryson at Carolina Event Design. As a bride who hasn't been dreaming of her wedding day since she was five, Heather gave us plenty of options and made sure we had a unique, personalized wedding day. Heather was both prompt and proactive, offering ideas, support, and solutions. Rather than asking us to do any research, Heather would narrow down the most appropriate vendors/designs based on the overall vision/theme and have us go from there. This made it so easy and greatly reduced our stress and pressure, because we really just had to go with our personal preference or instinct and I just had to create a halfway decent Pinterest board. I grew up in Charlotte but live in the Southwest now, so having the flexibility to schedule a lot of appointments over several weekend trips helped us so much. Heather also scheduled based on my husband's availability, since he wouldn't be able to come out on each trip given job constraints. We were so grateful that Heather went above and beyond to schedule with those factors in mind. Her relationships with vendors also helped significantly, because they were willing to accommodate us and our many redeye flights and seventy-two-hour trips. As for the day itself, our wedding was gorgeous and downright stunning. Heather and the Carolina Event Design team knocked it out of the park! We were blown away by how beautiful our venue looked, from the lighting to the place settings. It literally brought tears to my eyes. Without Heather and Carolina Event Design, we never could have had such a beautiful, memorable day. Brides and grooms, congratulations on your engagement. If you want your big day to be extra special, you can't go wrong with Carolina Event Design! -
User1968494 Sent on 12/14/2014Carolina Event Design was the best choice I made for my Wedding. Everyone always prepares you that something will go wrong on your wedding day whether it is small or big it really doesn't matter because its your wedding day. I will say that I had a FLAWLESS wedding day from the start of the day to the end. This would not have been possible without the team at Carolina Event Design.
