Rachel H. Sent on 07/08/2023Catherine is amazing!
I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and La Fete. She was our day-of-coordinator for a wedding at the Carolina Inn, but she did so much more and was with us every step of the way. She thought of everything, was so organized, and made our weekend entirely stress free. I lived in CA while planning our wedding in NC, and she was always available to meet in person when we were in town. I'm not sure I would have felt the need to book a coordinator or planner if it were not a part of our Carolina Inn package, but now I cannot imagine not doing it. The fact that my mom and mother-in-law just got to sit back and enjoy the day was everything. Thank you Catherine!!! -

My husband and I were married at the Merrimon-Wynne House last weekend, and we are so happy we had Catherine as our day-of coordinator. She is so friendly, professional, organized, and kind. She is an expert at wedding planning. She answered all of my questions right away and made communication easy! She helped ease my nerves the day of the wedding and made everything beautiful. We are beyond happy we found Catherine! She is amazing.

Allison K. Sent on 11/14/2019Casey was the BEST planner (and friend!)
I’m not sure there is a better way to explain how great Casey was than my fiancé saying over and over “Casey is the S*!T!” We were moving across the country to San Francisco from NC while wedding planning (which I don’t recommend), but she was there to manage everything back home. She even worked West Coast hours! I would send her tons of texts at dinner time in SF and she’d respond that night when she should have been sleeping. Anything we’d talked about would be knocked out before I’d even woken up the next day. Her responses never took more than a few hours (generally a few minutes)!
Our trolley for transportation broke down the wedding morning, and she quickly managed the process and came up stretch bus that ended up being more fun AND it was handled before I had time to panic. :) She was so organized, creative, and fun.
Our design came together beautifully. I was blown away stepping into a classic ballroom without much character to a glowing candle lit room covered in stunning fabrics and gorgeous flowers.
But aside from all of the things her job “required,” she did more. She truly became a friend, a confidant, a therapist, a mediator, etc. She helped schedule hair appointments, picked which white dress I should wear to what event, etc. She truly went above and beyond and was there for ANYTHING.
We could not have picked a better person to make the planning process and our big day truly perfect! You cannot go wrong hiring her.
Her assistant, Rachel, was also great day of at getting us where we needed to be and when and keeping a bride running slightly behind cool, calm, and collected!
Thank you Casey -

Suzanne Sent on 05/27/2019Absolutely impeccable!
We hired Catherine as our wedding planner and she was everything we wanted and so much more! We highly recommend her services.
Catherine was essential to making every aspect of our day beautiful and personal. From our very first meeting, I knew Catherine was something special. As people without strong natural inclinations when it came to wedding planning, Catherine guided us through every step without making it seem too complex. She found us the best vendors, gave wonderful advice, and made our vision come to life so effortlessly! She also worked well within our budget and was super flexible with all our requests and last-minute changes! Most importantly, Catherine was supportive and attentive through every stage of the process- we were so grateful for how responsive she was to calls and emails. She coordinated with all our vendors so I wasn't scrambling to contact dozens of people when our guest count changed or our timeline shifted. She is so knowledgeable and talented and we just knew we were in the best hands with her. It was such a dream to work with Catherine!
On a personal level, Catherine was so personable and easy to work with- so many guests and members of my bridal party raved about how wonderful Catherine was! We could not have asked for a better planner and would hire her a million times over! We only wish we had hired her sooner! Finally, these words truly cannot do her justice- hire her and you'll see! -

Jackie Sent on 01/17/2019Catherine is the best!
Sitting down with Catherine I not only felt like I was working with a knowledge professional (which I was) but I also felt as if I was sitting and chatting with a friend who sincerely cared about my wants, needs and frustrations with wedding planning. I had so many ideas and thoughts running through my head and Catherine listened to my jumbled rants and turned them into the most spectacular wedding day!
I can't thank her enough for stepping up and being such a helpful hand when things not only went right but wrong; like our priest not showing up for the rehearsal! I was basically in tears when she told me to turn off my phone and enjoy my last single night and to leave all the worrying to her, she ensured me, that my (now) husband and I, would without a doubt, be married the next day :) She was right and handled a very stressful situation seamlessly!
Catherine was so flexible and always answered my emails and phone calls immediately! I can't thank her and all the ladies at La Fete enough! -

Brittany Sent on 05/06/2019Phenomenal. Cannot Recommend La Fete & Casey Enough
We worked with Casey Harris from La Fete and she was PHENOMENAL!!! I truly cannot say enough about how great Casey was to work with. She made our planning process so much less stressful than it would have been and she felt like a great friend the whole time. Casey has an awesome eye for detail and is so detail oriented--she didn't let one thing go unplanned. She is also professional, hard-working, and extremely responsive (which is not always the case with wedding vendors!) Casey went out of her way to respond to my emails, calls, and texts at all times and also to reach out to remind me of things I hadn't yet done and needed to do. At the beginning of our planning process, she sent out a timeline for everything we needed to get done and she was great about keeping us to it, while also being flexible if we needed more time. She and La Fete also helped us with so many great things that other wedding planners didn't offer to help with--specifically assembling & sending out our wedding invitations and tracking the replies (!!), creating a budget spreadsheet for us to use throughout the process, ordering items for our welcome bags and other decorative items that we picked out, etc., all of which were incredibly helpful. Finally, Casey gave me advice on all things wedding-related, including my dress and veil, our first dance song, etc. She definitely didn't need to give us advice on these types of things, but her doing so was so helpful and is just another thing that sets her & La Fete apart from other wedding planners. All in all, I really cannot recommend Casey & La Fete enough. They were worth every penny and more and you will be so happy if you hire them to plan your wedding! -
Kelly Sent on 04/27/2018I can't say enough good things about Casey Harris. Hiring Casey was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, I would not have been able to plan or execute my vision without her. She went above and beyond during every interaction I had with her to ensure my wedding day was exactly what I envisioned. She was always patient with me and responded quickly whenever I had a question or needed help. She made extra visits to my venue and to my vendors leading up to the wedding to help out when I unexpectedly moved out of state. Casey is incredibly talented, organized, professional and kind. I would recommend her highly to everyone.

Stephanie Sent on 11/16/2017I chose La Fete because they had a lot of experience with events at my venue, the Merrimon Wynne. When I started working with Casey, I had no idea how much she would actually contribute to our day. She was beyond helpful, kind, and truly a blessing to work with! We had hiccups the day of the wedding with guests that had RSVP'ed no and then showed up- but I did not even know about it until after the wedding because she was a rockstar and just handled it! I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
