Priscilla did an absolutely fantastic job with the coordination of our wedding. Although my husband and I had planned many of the details of our wedding day in advance, it would not have all come together without Priscilla's guidance and assistance. She oversaw all the details of our ceremony and helped us through every step of our wedding reception. My husband and I were truly able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day because we knew that Priscilla was there to let us know when we had to go cut the cake, toast, etc. She was a joy to work with and she also did a fantastic job communicating with the other vendors to ensure that everyone was on the same page. Thanks to Priscilla our wedding was the best day of our lives and I would highly recommend hiring her to anyone looking for assistance with the planning and coordination of their wedding day!

Orangerie did an amazing job helping to plan our wedding. It was so nice to have the stress of getting married alleviated and getting help with little things like picking out linens, etc. All the decorations looked phenomenal and I would highly recommend their services!

Priscilla was a life-saver for our wedding in March. We hired her company as a DOC and the planner assigned to us left the company, so Priscilla stepped in. We are so happy that she did! We had to fire three vendors about a month out from the wedding. Priscilla found vendors that were available and in our price range - she SAVED our wedding! Our wedding day was perfect from beginning to end. We keep saying that we wouldn't change and thing and wish we could do it all over again it was so much fun! We know that was in large part due to Priscilla and her wonderful skills.
I planned everything myself, more than 16 months ahead of time. I thought I had everything taken care of, but I ABSOLUTELY needed her despite all my planning and best efforts. If you aren't sure about hiring a planner, think about the time, stress, agony, and money that a planner can and will save you in the long run!

I absolutely loved working with Melissa from Orangerie for our planning and day of coordinating! She was new to the company when we started working together and I believe I was one of her first weddings at The Stockroom, she absolutely rocked it! She joined me picking out linens/plates and also flowers, her advice was incredible and I don't know what I would have done without here there making decisions with me! I completely trusted her with all of the decorating for the wedding day, I just handed her a box of items for centerpieces and various tables. She set it all up and it looked incredible. She was knowledgable of other vendors and what would be money best spent when we got down to budgetary concerns. All of my bridesmaids were impressed by her get it done attitude at the rehearsal and the day of, nothing was slipping by her! I highly recommend booking with their team, I have been in several Raleigh weddings with planners involved, this was by far the best planning and day of coordination I have seen! Thank you Melissa and Orangerie for making our wedding day so stress free and memorable!

I highly recommend using Orangerie Events as your wedding planning company! Priscilla, the owner of the company, was my personal planner on the day of my wedding. I was totally lost and stressed from the very beginning of the wedding planning process. When I met Priscilla, she was not my wedding planner yet, and she was already easing my nerves about all of the little details. I knew I had to hire her right then - so I did! Priscilla helped me with everything from the color scheme to the seating chart, and was always quickly available for my silly questions/worries. Everyone told me that at least one thing would go wrong on my wedding day - but that did not happen at all! Everything was smooth sailing with Priscilla and her team. I am truly grateful and appreciate them so much!! XO.

To all of the future brides and grooms that are reading this, you don't know it yet, but you're absolutely going to need the help of Priscilla and her team at Orangerie! From our first visit to the Mims House all the way through the sparkler exit at our wedding, Priscilla and her team were there! No matter what time of day (or night) I e-mailed her, I'd get a response within hours. No matter how many times I texted her, I'd get a response within hours! As a first (and only time) bride, I needed help with everything! I had no idea how to go about making my vision come to fruition but let me tell you, Priscilla did! She was so patient, so kind, so attentive, so understanding and so simply lovely to work with you! I truly would have paid her and her team anything that she wanted to have the results that I did! Everything was absolutely perfect on our wedding day! Priscilla and her event team absolutely, positively gave my now husband and I the wedding of our dreams and we highly, highly, highly recommend them for your wedding! Trust us, you need them!! Thank you, Priscilla and Orangerie Events from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Melissa was the wedding planner I hired from Orangerie and hands down, she did such a fantastic job! She was always pleasant to deal with and highly skilled at what she does. She was (surprisingly) able to keep me calm, and parsed out the tasks in an organized fashion. Everyone told me planning a wedding would be "SOOO stressful", but I often felt like, shouldn't I be doing more?!? Melissa thankfully made the whole process really quite manageable. I never thought my day could live up to all the hype, but it really was the best day ever. All of my friends and family loved working with her and I truly adore her. I already miss talking to her regularly! Thank you Orangerie!

Without a doubt, Priscilla and the entire Orangerie team are the reason my wedding day was entirely stress-free! Her team was so professional, efficient, and friendly, not to mention really darn good at what they do!

Priscilla's enthusiasm for beautiful, meaningful weddings is contagious and she was so fun to work with in planning out the details of our day. She was aways available for questions and made the overwhelming parts of wedding planning (creating a timeline that works and managing all the details) a total breeze - even for an out of state bride.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the entire Orangerie team - y'all are rockstars!!!

I have been jealous of how adorable Priscilla is for ages. And being in the wedding industry myself I have worked with her often. But let me tell you that that cute as a button exterior is a totally deceiving. This girl is a badass! I didn't need a lot of hand holding as far as picking vendors and I had selected linens and place settings in my head a 100 times but having her at my rentals meeting and my florist meetings etc was perfect. She was always there to answer even the smallest of questions and made sure nothing was missed. She waited on us hand and foot on the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly. If something went wrong the day of my wedding I couldn't tell you what it was. I live in peaceful bliss to this day that my wedding day was one of the best days of my life becuase I hired Priscilla. Believe me, the piece of mind that comes with hiring a planner makes enjoying your wedding possible.

I am so glad that I chose Orangerie Events for my planning services. I chose their "Just a Taste" package (aka day of coordination), and Priscilla was there with me every step of the way. Toward the end of the planning process, I started freaking out a little about some of the smaller stuff that I hadn't thought about yet, but Priscilla was able to set me straight whenever I got in touch with her and really ease my mind. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant were fabulous in making sure everything went as smoothly as possibly. She was fabulous!

Where do I even begin?! I have never heard or been a part of any event that has gone as smoothly as my wedding did with Priscilla. People kept telling me to not get upset when things didn't go as planned because it would inevitably happen, but everything went exactly according to plan because of Priscilla and her dedication to making my wedding day perfect. Not only that, but she was able to transform the ideas and vision I had into the perfect wedding space. One of my favorite moments of the entire day was walking into my reception venue and seeing what she had done with the space. I can't imagine not having Priscilla's help and guidance, and using her was the best spent money of my entire wedding budget. Thank you so much, Priscilla! You are amazing!

What does a Charlotte, NC Mother of the Bride do when....the bride and groom live in Memphis, TN, the parents of the groom live in Chattanooga, TN and the wedding is in Raleigh, NC??? She hires Priscilla and Orangerie Events! Hands down, hiring Priscilla was the very best decision we made for planning an out of town wedding. We chose the
"fully ripened" service and trusted Priscills to be our "feet on the ground" in Raleigh. From the minute we hired her until the newlyweds left the reception, I don't think her feet ever hit the ground! Priscilla listened to our ideas, took many notes (and pictures!) and assembled the perfect team of vendors for the wedding and reception that were both held at Saint Mary's School in Raleigh, NC. Priscilla has wonderful creative ideas, great energy, helpful staff and an ever present smile! Thanks Priscilla for the absolutely wonderful wedding weekend!

Orangerie Events's reply:

It is hard to put into words how grateful we are for being able to plan your daughter's wedding. It will go down in the books as one of our absolute favorites! Even more than pulling off a spectacular wedding, we are thankful to now call you and your family friends. We truly fell in love with you and your sweet family. Thank you!

I chose Orangerie Events initially because their services were the cheapest of any other wedding planning company around Raleigh but I ended up getting so much more. I worked with Claire and she was AMAZING! So prompt, so organized, super sweet, and responded back to my emails within the day, which was perfect for someone like me with a little OCD.
I only needed "weekend of" coordination and it was the best money I ever spent. Claire did everything down to our itineraries and my day couldn't have gone any more smooth and stress free.
I didn't have a lot of extra cash to spend but I promise it's the best investment you can do for yourself as a bride.

Orangerie Events's reply:

Thank you so much for choosing Orangerie Events. Claire absolutely adored working with you and we are so grateful for trusting her with your big day. Enjoy being a newlywed!

Once I got engaged I knew that I'd need help with all of the small, detailed stuff. I also knew that I'd get married in Raleigh, NC -- which isn't home for me or my now husband. Once I found Priscilla, I knew that I was in good hands, and everything would work out!

Priscilla, was on top of everything and guided me through all of the decision making process. If I didn't know where to start or what to do, she'd give me suggestions; but ultimately had me make the final decision.

She also made sure that the rehearsal and wedding day ran smoothly, she checked in with me to make sure that I didn't need anything. On the day of, she was right by my side, any questions, concerns or needs -- she was right there, ready to take action.

Having Priscilla allowed me to enjoy being engaged and planning my wedding -- she helped me to have little to no worries on my big day. I don't know what I would have done without her, but I'm sure thankful that I had her in my corner! :)

Orangerie Events's reply:

You are too sweet. Thank you for your kind review. It was my pleasure to work with you and might I say, the song you picked for your First Dance is now one of my favorites that I listen to often and am always reminded of watching you and Kevin. I'm so grateful to have met you and now call you a friend!

I have had the extreme pleasure of knowing Priscilla as my boss, my own wedding coordinator and most importantly as a dear friend. I have experienced first hand both behind the scenes and at my own wedding, just how incredibly talented this amazing woman is! I have worked countless weddings with her and she gives every single one 110%. She and her fabulous team strive so hard and always deliver in giving the bride the perfect day she has always dreamed of. Her vision, creativity and coordinating know how are unparalleled in this industry! She is an absolute delight to work with and her sweet disposition is contagious! My husband and I loved, loved LOVED working with her for our wedding! There's no one else I would have ever had by my side through the planning and coordinating process. She effortlessly turned my wedding day dreams into a picture perfect reality and it was everything I could have asked for and more! Hiring Priscilla was the best decision I could have made and I would do it again and again! If you're looking for someone to plan all the details of your big day, or to simply coordinate your day of events ....and everything in between....Priscilla is your girl! Xoxo

I strongly recommend Orangerie Events for all your day-of coordination needs. Nicole, our coordinator, was responsive and very enthusiastic during the planning portion of things, and was completely on top of things day-of. We DIY'd heavily, and relied on Nicole to run the music, announce events, and bring out/stock the food, in addition to the normal setup and breakdown duties. She did it all and kept everything running smoothly and on time. She was a joy to work with, and will be a valuable asset to your wedding's planning and execution!

Choosing to work with Priscilla was probably the easiest decision we made throughout the wedding planning process. I found her through an online search and immediately fell in love with her online personality and the photos of her weddings. Once we had the opportunity to meet, I knew she was going to be a perfect fit for our wedding. Her knowledge of the industry and vendor recommendations proved to be invaluable through the wedding planning process. We chose to use her recommendations for almost all of our vendors and the end result was amazing. I hope Priscilla knows that each vendor, when finding out I was working with her, had nothing but great things to say about her! Her business sense and brand management is something to be admired!

Due to budget constrictions, we opted to use the "Just a Taste" package and I was pleasantly surprised with how much support this package actually included. It is a real testament to how much Pricilla actually cares about her brides; I never felt less of a priority because I chose the smallest package. Overall, I am grateful for how Priscilla pulled together our scattered décor ideas and created a magical wedding environment for our special day. She is a master of time management and organization. For these reasons and more I am eternally grateful!

I hired Priscilla for our day of coordination, but she was there to help answer any of my questions throughout the entire planning process. Priscilla and Claire were a huge help with planning my North Carolina wedding from Northern Virginia. Claire was the lead coordinator for my wedding with an assistant and she did such a fabulous job. Priscilla and Claire were both extremely sweet and professional throughout the entire process. Claire ran our rehearsal and was very prepared and everything went smoothly even though it was pouring rain. For the day of my wedding, I could not have done it with out her! She was amazing and took care of everything. If there were any issues on my wedding day I did not know about them, which is exactly what I was hoping for in a day-of coordinator.

My wedding day was complete when I booked Orangerie Events to be my Day of coordinator! Priscilla and her team worked non-stop on our Wedding day. I wanted to plan my own wedding, but I wanted to be able to sit back, and relax and enjoy the day and be a guest at my own wedding.

From the moment I met Priscilla in her adorable office, I knew she was the perfect match for my creative, over planning, and detail specific self. She executed the set up of all of the vendors (over 20) with ease, and attention to detail. Which was not a small feat as each space ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and reception tent had a different linen and arrangement.

She ran the rehearsal with authority, and also was approachable for questions from the many people involved in the ceremony.

Most importantly she understood the vision of my wedding as well as I did, which made handing off all the plans to her seamless. She was also responsive via email if I was looking for a specific vendor or had a question about finding the perfect mint julep glass in the triangle to our ceremony back drop.

I changed my 1920's head pieces throughout the wedding event and she was right there to help me change at the specific times requested with a smile. She ushered guests from ceremony, to dinner, to reception with ease and kept the timeline on track throughout the event.

I would recommend anyone to use Priscilla as a day of coordinator or as a full coordinator due to her ability to see and stage my vision of my wedding perfectly.

From the moment my then fiance and I met Priscilla we knew it was going to be a good fit. Through out our planning process she was available to answer any of my questions no matter how silly I thought they were. We hired Orangerie Events for our day of coordination. Beginning 2 weeks before the wedding Priscilla took over all vendor communication allowing me to focus on details and enjoying those last two weeks. She ran our rehearsal and was very prepared and everything went smoothly. Now for the day of my wedding--- I could not imagine having done it with out her! She was amazing and took care of everything. If there were any hiccups on my wedding day I do not know about them, which is fantastic.

My daughter decided on Orangerie Events for her wedding coordinator, and although I wasn't convinced of the need at first, I can say now that I don't know what we would have done without Priscilla. She took care of EVERYTHING and made our day so enjoyable! We had ideas about how we wanted everything to feel, flow and look, and Priscilla placed, staged and choreographed everything perfectly. She is professional, organized, warm and gracious and made the day most memorable! She was everywhere, seemingly at once, and no detail was left untended to. The wedding and reception was the most beautiful I've ever attended, and I highly recommend Priscilla and her staff!

Priscilla provided amazing wedding coordination services for my husband and I. From keeping everyone organized to holding an umbrella over my head while I walked into the chapel. Our day would not have been possible without her!
