Absolutely Stunning and Terrific
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Caroline to plan a wedding at our home, and she did exceptional work! She was trusted to design the entire "look" of our wedding, from the linens to the flowers to the placement of everything, and every element was amazingly beautiful and top notch. The flowers were not only beautiful, but each bud was perfect. That takes an attention to detail and a commitment to quality that is rare. I am in the film production business, so I know how important every detail is, and let me assure you, Caroline does as well. And when it came to the installation, she was able to do even more than we expected. And to top it all off, she's a delightful person who also instills confidence that everything will be great - and of course it was. Because it was an "out of town" wedding for Caroline we had a separate person doing the "coordination" but I am certain that if she was in charge of that she would have knocked it out of the park as well. She is a rock star at the top of the game. -

She was creative, flexible and went above and beyond to create a once in a lifetime experience to wow everyone- especially the bride and groom. The design for the welcome party had a “contemporary mountain uptown vibe” with special up lighting for warmth inside an otherwise cool interior. She worked easily alongside the caterer so no head aches or concerns throughout the weekend. -

Amazing Collaboration
Caroline helped us plan a private wedding ceremony for family and large wedding celebration after at our home. Our daughter had a very nontraditional wedding and celebration and Caroline jumped in and fulfilled our daughter's and her fiancé's vision. The weather went back and forth during the time of the ceremony and plans changed by the minute but she was able to pull off the ceremony at the top of a hill on our property overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains- just as my daughter and her fiancé had wanted. Caroline worked with us to create a stunning and sustainable event with potted plants, trees and herbs in collaboration with family friends who own a greenhouse. And she was able to create a lovely bouquet at a very last minute request. She worked our own furniture and oriental rugs into the decor and she handled her team, the musicians, the photographer, the caterer and the shuttles with ease- if there were any hiccups at all, our family and guests knew nothing of them. Guests are still sending notes of thanks and stating they've never been to a more beautiful celebration of a bride and groom. Thank you, Caroline, for all your hard work and your attention to detail. If my next daughter's wedding venue in CO would let us hire someone from home, you'd be getting a call- the wedding planner we'll be working with on that wedding will have some huge shoes to fill! -

Beyond All Expectation!!
I was thrilled when Caroline LaRocca agreed to travel across the country to style the decor for my daughter’s wedding, not only because she is my life long friend, but also because I knew we were in the very best hands. Throughout the planning, Caroline was a wealth of knowledge, and I was grateful for her insight on every aspect of the event. The execution, though, was beyond any of my expectations, and when everything came together, I was blown away. The florals were absolutely stunning; set off by indulgent linens, and elevated with an abundance of candlelight. She ran with my daughter’s vision and created the dreamiest ambiance ever! I will be forever grateful for this labor of love, and I am incredibly proud to recommend Caroline LaRocca Event Design!! -

Everything we envisioned for our wedding came to life thanks to Caroline and her crew, as well as the vendors she put us in touch with for additional services. The decor and flowers reflected our style to the last detail. We had zero stress planning our big day, and we highly recommend CLED for your events, big or small! -

She's the best! Look no further.
Caroline went above and beyond in creating the perfect wedding weekend. She planned out rehearsal dinner, wedding day and set up our brunch. Throughout the entire planning process she let me choose how much or little I wanted to be involved. She was patient with me and supported all of my decisions. When I asked her advice, she always gave her honest opinion which I very much respected. She planned and timed the day perfectly, which can make or break the guest's experience. Her flowers were exactly what we wanted and the decor was on point for our french garden theme. Our biggest fear was our guests not having a good time and I believe that the atmosphere Caroline provided made it such a welcoming environment, every guests felt so comfortable and truly had a blast. We are so thankful for Caroline and all of her expertise to make this such a special day. We love her and would use her again in a heart beat. -

Just hire Caroline - that's the best advice I can give, and made all the difference in our wedding. She was easy to work with, extremely responsive and supportive of (and executed) our vision for the wedding, and we were really impressed by her preparedness and sense of style. On the weekend of our wedding, she was 100% in control and we were able to just glide through and enjoy our wedding without the stress of having to manage vendors, decorations, etc. And the flowers an decor - WOW. So beautiful!! I will try to post photos once we get them back from the photographer. We will miss working with Caroline now that the wedding is over. -

She is a one stop shop, always available, such a good eye for design and always positive, fun and upbeat!

From our first meeting with Caroline LaRocca to our final meeting and the event itself, I knew I had chosen the perfect person to coordinate and design our rehearsal dinner at The Penthouse. The designs were stunning, and Caroline was helpful, courteous, and accessible during the planning process. She listened to our vision and contributed ideas that enhanced our original vision. The event drew rave reviews from all our guests! -

We loved working with Caroline and her team at CLED. Caroline is a master at event planning and our event went off without a hitch....at least it seemed that way to us! We never would have know if something went wrong because Caroline and her staff have everything under control. We just showed up and enjoyed ourselves and went on our honeymoon. It was great. -

The whole team at CLED is absolutely phenomenal. I used their Day of Coordinating services and they made everything happen perfectly. I felt at ease and knew I was in great hands. If anything went wrong, I had no idea! If you're considering CLED, do not hesitate, they are a NECESSITY. -

Lauren S. Sent on 12/29/2021CLED allowed me to fall in love with the process of planning a wedding
All it took was one picture of drapes in a white washed barn to lead me to Caroline LaRocca. That simple photo was the beginning of an amazing wedding planning experience and friendship. Really I had no real vision for what my wedding would look like. Caroline started by interviewing me, to discover my interests and tastes and took the reins from there. She turned a blank canvas into one beautiful experience that spanned over two years with the pandemic. We planning a wedding that got postponed. Once rescheduled, we picked up right where we left off, made some adjustments based on the circumstances and truly had one of the most beautiful ceremonies and receptions ever. I will be forever grateful for the create vision and laborious hours Caroline and her team devoted to our special day. If you want someone who has experience, passion, and is dedicated to making everything more than you ever dreamed of, CLED is who I would recommend. You will instantly fall in love with the process and more importantly the people! -

There are simply no way to briefly summarize how amazing Caroline was to work with. Getting a wedding planner was one of the first decisions we made when starting wedding planning back in 2019. My then fiancé and I lived in PA and knew we wanted someone to help us plan our wedding who was in Roanoke. More than that, however, we needed someone who was able to help us plan a weekend long, fusion Hindu-American event. We had read great reviews for Caroline and the entire CLED team so we contacted her, explained our situation and hopes for the weekend and we knew right away, she was the person to pull this off!
Our first meeting with her was actually in NYC and I remember us sitting down with her and sharing our fairly disorganized idea of the weekend we wanted. Frankly, Sid and I aren’t details people and we’d certainly never planned any event like this…we were in over our heads. Caroline asked us, “What’s most important to you?” This question, and her emphasis on what we wanted and cared about, affirmed we had the best person to help us plan. We shared we wanted to have fun, number one. The food and drinks and atmosphere were important. Jokingly (well..somewhat) I said “I just don’t want anyone asking me to pick something like napkin colors.” For us, life was crazy in PA and we truly didn’t have the time to be intimately involved in every decision. Over the next few months, our loose string of ideas we’d shared with Caroline started to come to life and we were over the moon! We couldn’t wait for August 2020 to come…
Of course, before we could make it to August 2020, March 2020 came, along with a pandemic that changed just about everything in life. When Sid and I realized things may not be “normal” by our original date, we looked for other options, dates, situations, that could work. With really demanding schedules and the ever changing situation, we actually “cancelled” the entire weekend at one point. But Caroline really helped talk me through all of the options, and ultimately we rescheduled our smaller, one venue event to September 2021.
The weekend of our wedding consisted of three unique events. As one of the original venues had closed during 2020, Caroline helped us plan how to still have three separate events at The Penthouse. Her team worked so incredibly hard to flip the space three times in 48 hours to go from a Southern, rustic inspired cocktail party on Friday to a traditional Hindu ceremony on Saturday morning and finally an amazing lounge like vibe reception on Saturday night. We enjoyed every single minute of the weekend. Caroline helped us secure some of the best vendors and wedding partners we could have ever asked for. Having Caroline there throughout this process was not only worth it, this wedding couldn’t have happened without her. -
