From the moment we met Carly during our consultation we knew she was the planner for us. Our consultation felt like we were catching up with an old friend rather than interviewing a planner. Carly guided us through the entire planning process and made everything so enjoyable and fun rather than stressful. My now husband and I were speechless on our wedding day to see all of our wedding day dreams and more come to fruition thanks to Carly and her team. She truly is the fairy godmother of wedding planning! We cannot recommend Carly enough to anyone looking to plan an unforgettable wedding that will leave you and your guests raving for years to come. -

Better than my dreams
When I first met Carly I could tell that she has such a passion for what she does! She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé and was there anytime that I had a question or concern. Everything on our wedding day turned out even better than I could have ever imagined. It felt like a literal fairytale. It’s been weeks and I still can’t stop thinking about how beautiful everything turned out. -

Had my wedding in December 2023 and had been planning with Carlisha since about March 2023. I cannot even begin to explain how incredible Carlisha was! Not only did she give us our dream wedding, she made it better than I ever could’ve imagined. It is as if she read my mind.
She was always just a phone call or text message away, and was extremely helpful anytime I needed her guidance. Our wedding was the most perfect day I’ve ever experienced, it felt like a dream. To this day I still can’t stop looking at photos. She made the entire planning process so easy and stress free. All of her recommendations as well were spot on. She knows exactly what she is doing and was born for this! -

Abbigail B. Sent on 02/08/2024More than a designer wedding, Carly makes wedding dreams come to life.
Designer Weddings by Carly was the most important puzzle piece when it came to planning our two- day Indian wedding in Orlando, FL. I could go on and on about how wonderful Carly and her company was to my husband and I. When we initially began wedding planning, we ran into somewhat of a nightmare with our first wedding planner. We scrambled to find a new planner that specialized in Indian weddings and found Carly. Needless to say, not only did Carly save our wedding, but turned it into an event we play over and over in our head to this day. Carly was able to connect us with the best vendors in Orlando and helped us negotiate, plan and dream big when it came to booking vendors. She was there every step of the way. Carly is someone you can trust to plan a beautiful and memorable event, she is also warm and kind, making it easy to be open with her about ideas. I highly recommend hiring Carly for your next special event. We had a total of five weddings in our family in 2023, and because of Carly's passion and craft, ours was the one that stood out the most and the one everyone can't stop talking about. Carly, thank you for giving us one of the greatest gifts in life, a more than perfect wedding. -

Best wedding planner!
Hi, my name is Farah and my husband and I hired Carlisha approximately 2 years ago to be our wedding planner for not 1, or 2, but 3 weddings across the span of 2022! Imagine a moving concept of what we wanted each wedding to look like, cause naturally people change across time, and Carly never skipped a beat! Our first wedding was our nikkah, followed by our Hindu wedding, and the grand finale of our New Year’s Eve reception, to end the year with a bang! Carly CRUSHED them all, and made it so each event was unique, beautiful in its own style and individually they all stood out in their own way! She was able to bring all of our ideas to LIFE, with unmatchable class, elegance and timeless appeal! Aside from the weddings themselves, which was PERFECT (all 3 occasions lol), but to build an everlasting relationship on top of that was really the icing on the cake! Carly and every single vendor that she introduced us to was a dream team! Wedding planning with Carly felt like fun, we enjoyed every moment of our journey and it really showed on the day of because we all had built such a sweet bond! I was able to count on Carly for the good’s, the bad’s and those small moments of complete vulnerability! Convinced that she’s an angel on earth in disguise, you will be so happy to call her your wedding planner 🤍 Thank me later! -

Rucha D. Sent on 04/27/2024Carlisha did a phenomenal job bringing our dream vow renewal to life. She exceeded our expectations. Her entire team of vendors are detail oriented.
Carlisha was our wedding planner for our 10 year vow renewal. She blew us away with the entirety of it! She handled every aspect of it and we just came to be in the moment and commemorate our love. Our guest list was small and intimate however, she turned both venues and balanced out the space. The incorporation of Disney touches were very personal. Our guests still talk about the celebration. It was enjoyed by all. We were so blessed to have connected with her and would highly recommend her to be their next wedding planner. -

We are so grateful to have met with Carly! With her experience and expertise, we could not have had a more PERFECT wedding!
We selected an amazing and beautiful venue that was a resort so this provided a great vacation experience for our guests from out of town as well as local! We quickly realized the difficulties of planning our dream wedding with our busy schedules would be impossible!
Carly made it happen ! It was such an incredible day! absolutely perfect in every way… from our venue, our officiant, the DJ, the florist, and our photographers! -

Rebecca F. Sent on 07/21/2021Dream Planner- Look No Further
Carly will be the planner of your dreams- no need to look further for someone. We worked with Carly over the last year for our wedding that took place 07/17/21. I am not sure what I expected from a planner but based on our experience, I can tell you Carly will offer you everything and more. I have recapped the most stand-out things below about Carly and our experience working with her.
Personality and Professionalism:
Carly is an exceptional wedding planner- Professional beyond standard, creative, thoughtful, vivacious and dedicated. Her professionalism was expressed by how she conducted herself but also how she communicated with us and our vendors. Kindness over anything! She also had this incredible ability of not forcing her opinion when decisions needed to be made. Rather, when questions were asked, she outlined options and always lent a story to bring more clarity to a situation/outcome. While Carly is truly the one planning (we as a couple had no idea what we were doing, so we needed that guidance!), she empowered us to feel like we were leading the process without feeling the slightest bit of stress. In addition, as she has been in the industry for years, her contacts are incredible and I highly recommend considering any vendor she recommends. I find it incredibly important to emphasize how wonderful Carly is. While you want a wedding planner who is fantastic at their job, you also want to LOVE them ….and you will with Carly. She bent over backwards for us and continuously said “if you ever need anything, call me”. She meant it/ proved that throughout the planning process. I walked away from this experience at first categorizing Carly as my planner but now my friend.
Creative/Design Oriented
As for her creativeness, it is unmatched. When asked what we envisioned our dream wedding to be, all we could say was “well we like tropical flowers, pastels, driftwood and want a good band”. Carly took that statement and transformed our wedding into a whimsical tropical wonderland infused with elegance and band that was out of this world. Again, Carly never forced her opinions on what we should do, rather provided us with visuals and whatever we liked, she helped bring that to life. Going into the planning process, I never considered the “design” element and quite frankly was blown away with what was created--- our wedding was beyond a “pinterest” wedding- rather it was unique to us and absolutely magical.
Follows the Budget
Carly will keep you humble about your budget to ensure you don’t overextend yourself. Everything she brought to us, was within budget and if we wanted something more, she would first say “that is OK but I do want to mention that this will be out of budget before we continue to move forward on this”. Transparency is key during this process and we were never let down by Carly.
Stress-free Planning
As mentioned before, Carly’s professionalism and hands-on approach left of us stress-free. If I had the slightest bit of concern, I would connect with her and she would reassure me that everything was OK (very prompt response rate!). So while the stress was non-existent because Carly managed everything, we also loved the planning process because Carly was just so easy and wonderful to talk with. Her flexibility and bright personality made everything move along so well (and made wedding planning so fun!). If our wedding day had any hiccups, I was absolutely clueless because Carly never let on. From start to finish, I was floating in the clouds during our wedding weekend because Carly handled everything for us.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Carly. I cannot imagine my wedding experience without her. Forever proud to be a “Carly Bride/Couple”. Thank you Carly for making all our dreams come true. You are simply spectacular.

Jauquese K. Sent on 12/11/2020Best Wedding Planner Ever
Carlisha and I have been friends since we were kids. I’ve also worked with her as a makeup artist for a few of her brides, which gave me the chance to witness her work ethic and professionalism up close. I watched her go above and beyond for every bride and I knew she would do the same for me. When we got engaged, I knew there was no one I’d rather plan our wedding than her. She did not miss a beat - from our original wedding in Miami being cancelled due to the pandemic to re-planning in under a month in Orlando. She kept me sane and ensured I felt loved and supported. She surprised me with special touches on the day of that brought tears to my eyes. I’m forever grateful. My husband is still singing her praises almost a week after our wedding. Thank you so much, Carly, you exceeded our expectations. A wedding planner is a must for the working bride and you won’t find any better than Carly! -

Carly is by far the most amazing wedding planner!! I was such a wreck Friday before seeing everything Saturday, little did I know I never should’ve worried to begin with!! She paid such close attention to detail & made my wedding flow smoothly. She cares about what her bride wants and gets it done! (Even when I wanted cow skulls & western mixed with boho) 😂 Carly isn’t just a wedding planner but one of the best friends you could ever ask for on your big day. She helped keep me from ruining my makeup before getting down the aisle, helped me get into my dress and deal with all the buttons. She really took her time to listen to exactly what I wanted and made it all come to life! It was perfect! -

There aren’t enough words to describe how truly grateful I am. From the moment I met Carly I knew I needed her. I came to her wanting a Beauty and the Beast fairy tale wedding which she captured beautifully. Every idea and every thought I had, she found a way to elevate it and design it perfectly. Carly is brilliant, creative, attentive and focused. She knew exactly all the rights things to say and do. During multiple crises which included a bankrupt venue, a pandemic and multiple date changes, she always made me feel assured and confident that she could make anything happen or fix what I thought couldn’t. She held my hand throughout every crying moment. I know I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without her. Carly gave me the wedding of my dreams.
For my Brides,
you will not be disappointed. If there’s anything you do for yourself and your wedding it should be hiring Carly. -

Working with Carly was by far the best decision we made when beginning our planning for our wedding! She handled everything with ease and even if a crisis occurred, I never once got stressed because I knew she had it covered. When the day finally arrived, I was so calm and happy. Thank you, Carly! :)Designer Weddings by Carly Rose's reply:

Through complete planning, we were able to tackle every detail and make your beautiful come to life! Thank you for letting me share in your happiness and we wish you many years of love and laughter together! Congratulations! -

AMAZING and Breathtaking
Carly was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. When you hit a snag or need help or if I couldn’t even decide she was right there to help me through it and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She even surprised us with a sparkler fountain during our first dance. I was so surprised and it was amazing. With Carly I can truly say she was more than a wedding planner to me she was a friend who wanted to make sure the day and look was what we wanted. Thank you so much. You are absolutely amazing. My friends and family kept coming up to me to saying how great everything was going and how everything turned out. I know a lot of people were involved in making that happened but you put it together and it was breathtaking. 💙💙💙💙 -

Specatcular
Carly went above and beyond to make our day special. I presented her with many challenges including hair, budget and even venue. Carly once told me that she is a "pink and fluffy" kinda girl. However, my outdoor, camp themed, dirt filled wedding didnt throw her for a loop at all. She combined my love of the outdoors with elegance and made my wedding a dream come true. She was also there to answer all my questions when she could and she dealt with my crazy working hours with ease. My wedding day was perfect because of her and I couldnt of done it without her. ❤ -
