    Such a great help!

    We needed help planning a micro wedding in Asheville - we tried to do it on our own, but we are from out of town and got overwhelmed with all the different possibilities. Carolina Love Events helped us narrow down what we wanted and get everything in order! Our wedding day was a breeze and truly so enjoyable thanks to CLE's organization. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

    Simply the best

    We got married at Homewood in Asheville on September 30th, 2023. Nikki and her team at Carolina love events were incredible throughout the entire process- friendly, patient, knowledgeable, extremely organized, detail oriented, and communicative. Our wedding day went flawlessly and it is due to all of the hard work behind the scenes from everyone at Carolina love events. We are so grateful for them and will recommend them to everyone in the future!!

    Wedding at Homewood

    The Staff was amazing throughout the whole planning process. They were very responsive to our emails and questions, had great recommendations, and we're always so nice when we met in person. Regardless of which staff member we were talking to.

    Deborah and Kristy were our day of coordinators and they were the best. They made sure everything went smoothly, everything was set up correctly, and they were a blast to work with! I HIGHLY recommend Carolina Love events.

    Carolina Love Events's reply:

    Thanks so much Brittnay! We loved being a part of your and Nicholas's beautiful day! Wishing you two all the best!

    10/10 Recommend Carolina Love Events

    Nikki and her Carolina Love Events team were everything we could have hoped for and more. Nikki was so kind, helpful, and decisive throughout our process. She protected my fiancé and I, and helped turn our camp wedding dreams into a reality. We felt so comfortable, protected, and confident that her team would deliver, and they absolutely did.

    On top of it!

    I believe we chose the month-of coordination package. I didn't actually want to hire a planner (our venue required that we hire this planner as part of the contract).
    I am so glad now that we had a planner and Nikki, Kristy, and Deborah did a fantastic job keeping us all on track.

    Even though I only paid for the month of coordination, Nikki and staff were available by email for logistics questions. Honestly I hadn't really thought about everything that goes into planning a proper wedding and Nikki gave me a detailed list of to do's that I could just check off. She also came up with solutions to problems that came up

    Kristy and Deborah coordinated our day.
    I didn't have to really think about much the whole day. I planned everything out with them before hand and they kept everything running to schedule. If there was an issue, people went to Kristy and if it needed my input she came to me. And, when we realized that my zipper had somehow not been sewn into my dress, they had clothespins on hand for a quick fix.

    I had an amazing day! Thank you Carolina love, Nikki, Deborah and especially Kristy. ☺️

    10/10 Recommend

    Nikki and her team were amazing! The communication was great, they were organized, and extremely attentive. I, like most, went into this planning process overwhelmed and even after the first meeting, I immediately felt better and always felt a little better after each email or chat. They really made the process a lot less daunting and made it easier to enjoy our engagement because they were so on it! The day of we had Kristy and she was AMAZING! She was on it and she had this ease to her that immediately made you feel more calm and she made sure that us having fun and enjoying our day was our number one concern and she had everything else handled. Carolina Love Events really went above and beyond to make our Big Day so incredibly special and we are beyond grateful for them! One more shout out to my girl Kristy, she truly was the BEST!

    Out of this world

    Best day ever thanks to Debora and Carolina love events . We are from south Florida and this was a destination wedding in Asheville for us. From communication to recommendations to setting up my entire reception dinner at a totally different location than my ceremony . Debora really is magnificent! During the whole planning she made me feel like I could ask her anything and that was so important to me . She helped me with the wedding of my dreams and then some . You know they’re fantastic when friends and family want to write their own review about how great the planners were . This is your sign to look no further and go with Carolina love events !

    The BEST team to help plan your wedding!

    The team at Carolina Love Events is top-notch! They answered all of our (many) questions in a timely manner, gave us tons of vendor recommendations, and made the wedding day so perfect. Things could not have gone better and I chalk it up to the day-of team supporting us. Shout out to Nikki, Debora, and Kristy!

    Above and Beyond

    The whole team at Carolina Love Events was so helpful when planning our wedding. We used the day-of coordination package (which was required by our venue), but they went way above and beyond day-of coordination. We met with them multiple times, they kept us on track with timeline, they sent us recommendations for vendors, we used their discount codes for Minted and Generation Tux, and - most importantly - they made sure everything ran smoothly on the actual day. They're very organized and on top of their system, and they really know what they're doing. If you're anyone other than a professional wedding planner and you need coordination/planning services, hire them!

    Nikki is the best wedding planner!

    Nikki was the glue that put our wedding together! We could not have hired a better wedding planner for our big day. She helped us from square one and guided us to the very end. She was a huge help and could not have done it without her! The whole process seemed so simple with her help. We highly recommend her!

    Amazing Experience w/ Nikki

    Hiring Carolina Love Events was the best decision we could've made when we started planning our wedding. We live in Durham, NC and got married in Asheville, NC, so we knew we needed someone local who could recommend vendors and help us coordinate the logistics with the venue. Working with Nikki was simply the best! She handled everything from vendor recommendations to scheduling meal tastings to day-of logistics and setup. Because of Nikki, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we, as well as our family, could enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. I cannot recommend Nikki & Team enough for your event planning needs!

    100% worth it

    When planning for a wedding, I’ve heard from nearly every bride saying a day or coordinator is worth it. And I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I enjoyed the freedom to be able to piecemeal the day together with all of our favorite things, and really only reached out to the coordinator with vendor recommendations or quick questions (both of which google could have done). But come the day prior and day of—they’re worth their weight in gold. I selected Carolina Love Events based off my venues preferred vendor list and was paired with Heather almost 16 months out from my wedding date.

    Heather was very helpful so far out providing recommendations for vendors, and just basic questions. As the day got closer she coordinated more phone calls and created a detailed timeline with the vendors I selected and phone numbers. One week out she took over everything. I was hesitant to pass over all control of this day to nearly a complete stranger but the day went off without a hitch! Everyone was on time with deliveries, where they needed to be for pick up and she even distributed envelopes with tips to each vendor at the end of the evening. She and her assistant Megan were SO HELPFUL on the day of. They made sure we stayed on timeline, from the ceremony to the last song. We were hand delivered our first drinks, a mini charcuterie board during cocktail hour and the meal served…all the things we’ve heard from our married friends you need to make sure you do (eat!!).

    Finally, I showed up to the venue with a box of greenery and a picture of how I wanted the tables to look with printed table lists and said “I trust you guys”. Simple and elegant was what I was aiming for and they delivered!! We could not have asked for a better team to support us!

    If you’re unsure if the day of coordinator is worth it, take it from me, they are absolutely worth the peace of mind that the day the day runs smoothly. I highly recommend Carolina Love Events and Heather for anyone’s wedding!!

    Pankti was incredible!!!

    My wife and Pankti worked together to plan our wedding for over a year. During COVID. From two states away. Pankti responded to every email, answered every question, and indulged every whim. She was knowledgeable, focused, efficient, and super friendly. I wasn’t as involved in the planning, but my wife legitimately considers Pankti a friend now. Our wedding was everything we dreamt it would be. It went off flawlessly because Pankti was there to make sure that it did. She kept my wife calm and level headed throughout the planning process and during the event itself. From a practical/financial standpoint, the price was shockingly reasonable for the amount of work Pankti put in. I honestly cannot say enough positive stuff about Pankti. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts and in our memories. Thank you Pankti!

    Hire pankti

    - [ ] I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know and working with Pankti as our wedding planner. I am so so so glad I found Carolina love events and Pankti. I felt like I was working with a friend I had known for a long time. Pankti always had my back and asked all the right questions to make sure our big day was exactly what we wanted. I knew from the get go I was in good hands because after my first call with Pankti she had sent me an email with a spreadsheet or vendors she had worked with and recommended (only ones available for our date) with quotes already included. I don’t know how people plan weddings without planners and certainly not without a planner like Pankti. Every other wedding planner I talked to was more expensive and offered very limited calls and emails etc. Pankti helped me from day one and answered every question I had. I don’t even want to think of all the emails and calls she had with all the other vendors not counting the ones I was on. Pankti was so polite, professional, organized, easy to get along with… she even found small ways to help us stay on track with our budget so we wouldn’t be stressed out on our wedding day. Our venue manager even said before the wedding that they were already working on the next weekends wedding because ours was already so ready and put together because of Pankti. We also used their vintage rentals and it really made the space extra special. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner o hope you reconsider. You will not regret it. And make sure you ask for Pankti

    Amazing Experience for our Indian Wedding in Asheville!

    Nikki (and her team) were amazing! From the first step to the last, Nikki really helped us stay on task and achieve our picture-perfect wedding. She helped us create a budget, find vendors (including some vendors from out of state given our unique needs for an Indian wedding), and bring to life our multi-day celebration. When there were delays due to COVID, she helped move all of our vendors and coordinate. Stressful but we ended up not losing any $ - she was always looking to make sure we were getting the most bang for our buck with vendors. She also helped us stay sane and prioritize tasks throughout the (over a year) planning process. On the weekend of the wedding, there were numerous times she drove to pick up things we had forgotten or left in a box in the hotel room, etc. She also helped us think through our decor choices and pick when to DIY and hire someone to do it for us! Finally, she helped keep our guest list organizing by helping to manage our wedding website, mailing out save the dates, etc. Nikki was always available when we needed her and was clear in her communication. I highly recommend Nikki and her team to anyone looking for wedding planning services in the greater ASheville area!

    Nikki is amazing!

    Nikki at Carolina Love is a true artist. Her floral designs were absolutely beautiful. She is also the BEST wedding planner-- her attention to detail and professional knowledge are exceptional. I was able to enjoy my daughter's wedding because I knew Nikki was taking care of everything. I highly recommend her-- she was a joy and made the day one we will cherish forever.

    Best Money Spent!!

    Hiring Nikki Sciurba was the first thing we did when we started wedding planning, after booking a venue, and it was by far the best decision we made. Planning a wedding during COVID was a very particular kind of stress and we seriously could not have handled it all without her. Nikki gave us consistent communication, vendor recommendations, help making many different decisions, solutions to problems, and a sense of calm that made us feel like it was all possible. On the wedding day, we referred everyone to her which made us feel like we could relax. She made everything run smoothly and kept everyone on schedule. If you're not sure whether or not you want/need a day of coordinator, stop thinking about it and hire Nikki!! She's worth every penny.

    they truly made our day perfect!

    Words cannot express my gratitude for Nikki and the entire Carolina Love Events team! Our wedding was perfect and so much of it can be attributed to Nikki's expertise, hard work and dedication to her couples! Ours was a "destination wedding" and Nikki was constantly available to answer any and all questions we had. She provided amazing insight into other local vendors, hotels for room blocks and even provided a PDF of recommendations of things to do and where to eat/drink in Asheville - which was super helpful in putting together our website. Any vendor we told her we planned to work with, she knew them personally and had established relationships which made us feel so at ease since we were planning the wedding from afar. We also used CLE for florals and all our arrangements were STUNNING - we had an arbor for the ceremony, greenery along the twinkle lights in the tent, gorgeous bouquets and other floral decor - it was all literally out of a dream. Nikki also referred us to a vintage furniture rental company and worked with them directly taking one more thing off our list! We had a beautiful vintage lounge set for guests to relax, amber goblets to complete the look of our table setting and other pretty decor to complete the vibe. It was perfect! Nikki truly read our minds and knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. Pankti (also at CLE) helped us with our signs - from calligraphed seating charts and programs on huge vintage mirrors to watercolor art for our signature cocktail menu, she is such a talented artist and we're so happy we were able to work with her. Not only was Nikki an angel leading up to the wedding, but also "saved the day" on the day of! While we did have a rain plan, the ceremony was planned to be outside, and the day-of, I was a tad stressed watching the "chance of rain percentage" steadily increase in the forecast. Just as the party bus showed up at our AirBnB to take us to the venue, it started downpouring, thundering, lightening - you name it, either way it was not looking good. As we pulled up to the venue, the rain had stopped but we could still hear thunder rumbling in the distance and I knew any minute that it could start downpouring again. Nikki assured me the week before that she can always adjust the timeline a bit and usually finds a hole in the storm to hold her ceremonies outside - and sure enough - we not only had our ceremony outside, but the sun came out just as I started saying my vows. I know it's crazy to say Nikki controls the weather - but I will say this woman is a wizard at tracking a radar and I was so thrilled she was able to time everything perfectly. The whole CLE team was so chill and on top of everything and if anything went wrong we have NO idea! Nikki made sure the entire night ran smoothly and on schedule and it was perfect! Having Nikki there made the day so much more enjoyable, and definitely gave us the peace of mind we needed so we could just enjoy ourselves. Major, major thank you to Nikki and the whole CLE team!

    Nikki is the wedding champion!!

    Nikki and her team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. I planned my wedding in Asheville, NC from Boston - which I found to be no easy task! Despite this, Nikki worked with me in whatever capacity was needed. If I ever had a stress, concern, or question (no matter how big or small) she always responded in a timely fashion and immediately calmed me down. During the rehearsal and the wedding, she was fantastic at coordinating everyone with shocking efficiency (we had a large wedding party with a lot of excitement, all the time) and a smile on her face. Our night could not have been better and Carolina Love Events was a huge part in making that happen!
