We used Happy Hour Hostess's month-of coordination service for our wedding on 10/28/23 and I feel like it may have been one of the best decisions I've ever made, no hyperbole. The first time we spoke with Carrie it felt like a great fit and she talked through our vision with us and gave us a couple tips. We wanted to do most of the planning ourselves, but a major factor for us in booking HHH was the ability to hire Carrie for a few additional hours to come to our design meeting at the venue. She. Was. Amazing. From offering ideas for beautiful place settings to helping us set priorities and decide what was and wasn't "worth it", I genuinely don't know how we could have gotten through that meeting without her. And she took extensive notes that she sent to us afterwards and kept in her file so that when we reached the month of our wedding, HHH already had tons of information about what our tables should look like and what the layout of each room was. For month-of coordination we worked with Mallory, and I could go on forever about how fantastic she is. At our wedding, Mallory was accompanied by Annie and they were so fun to have around and just so in command of everything. There was no detail Mallory wasn't aware of and no question she couldn't answer. It was so nice to have someone we trusted and could say "just do whatever you think" or "we'll leave that up to you". She made sure that everything went incredibly smoothly and, from our perspective, the day was absolutely perfect. If anything went wrong we didn't know about it. And, again, she managed all this while being a fun presence and truly helping us celebrate. When we started planning I wasn't sure whether we would hire a coordinator or not, and now I can't imagine having our wedding without HHH and Mallory. The fact that we were able to host such a beautiful event relatively stress-free is a testament to Happy Hour Hostess and the wonderful work they do. I just can't recommend them enough. -

Hiring The Happy Hour Hostess was one of the best choices we made. Alex and team did a fantastic job of running the day flawlessly—they thought of everything and are so organized, friendly and professional. They understood our vision and made everything so easy for us that we had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding! -

Where do I even begin??? Carrie and the entire HHH team are PHENOMENAL. My sister got married 5 years ago and used a different planner. While it all went ok, I can say from experience that Carrie is top. notch. The best in the biz. She was arguably even more excited about our wedding than we were and it made me realize what a special season of life this is and how we could make our wedding dreams come true. Her warmth and excitement combined with her calmness and professionalism is perfect. She is well-versed, connected, and beloved by other vendors in the industry. She will navigate all aspects of your day and leading up to your day with ease. She worked very closely with my mom and was a huge help to MOB and bride :) She asks the right questions you’d never think to ask and juggles multiple items and tasks all the while making YOU feel like the most special bride and being present with you in your vendor meetings and beyond. Always a text, email or call away too. And let me be clear—Krystinia and her entire team are ON. POINT. too. It shows that Carrie is an A+ business owner and expert planner and she trains and grows all the rest of her talent. Carrie is so likeable, so knowledgeable, and she positively builds up all those around her whether it’s her coworkers, colleagues in the industry, family of the bride or groom, strangers, you name it. This is the kind of planner you want to entrust with your wedding. I don’t even need to go into minute detail because I can just say Carrie had all the details and pivoting down! Especially as we shifted, downsized, postponed our reception, all the things, because of COVID. Carrie did not miss a beat and our day was PERFECT. Hire her already!!!! My husband and I love The Happy Hour Hostess!! -

My husband and I are both incredibly busy and live in separate cities for work, so we knew we needed a wedding planner. We met Carrie and Krystinia at a bridal expo in Norfolk. Over the year of planning, Carrie and Krystinia became two of the most important women in my life. They made all my impossible vision come true and were just rock-solid all-stars who were available to talk whenever and be a shoulder to lean on. They conquered obstacle after obstacle of my crazy vision and made it a reality with such ease. They talk about post-wedding blues because of the come-down after such a huge event, but my post-wedding blues were the reality that we wouldn't be in constant communication anymore. The team at The Happy Hour Hostess is the best in the business if you want people who genuinely care about relationships and making your day perfect. -

As a professional Wedding DJ, I have worked with The Happy Hour Hostess Wedding Team on numerous weddings....most recently on 9 August 2019 at the Historic Post Office. Krystinia Carney was the Team Lead and she was phenominal. Krystinia kept all vendors informed and ensured all facets of the client's wedding ceremony, cocktail hour & reception were flawless. If you're searching for a wedding coordination team that will relieve the stresses associated with planning your wedding, look no further than The Happy Hour Hostess. -
Carolyn Sent on 09/24/2018Let me preface this by saying that my wife is in the event coordinating/planning industry, so Carrie and crew probably started with a little bit of an uphill battle. However, Carrie far surpassed any and all expectations that we had! We hired her for month-of services and got much more than that. Carrie took the time to get to know us and our vision for our big day and then followed through with precision and attention to detail that surpassed our high expectations. Beyond ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted out of the dozen or so vendors we hired, Carrie became a confidant and someone that we could bounce ideas off of and get the value of her experience expressed in all of the little details that we knew would sneak up on us as the wedding approached. She truly became the conduit through which our dream came alive. Both of us took a couple of days off work prior to the wedding with the expectation that we would be really busy and finalizing details and putting out fires…but I found myself with nothing to do (except spend time with all of our guests who traveled to celebrate with us). Carrie took the load off as the day approached so that we could spend the time we wanted to with the people we love.
As for the actual day-of, Carrie was a rock star. Her calming presence was absolutely reassuring and she made us feel positive that everything was going to be perfect. By the time the ceremony and reception came around, she actually knew some of the people’s personalities in our wedding party. She’s super observant and had great input throughout the process. If you’ve read this far, then you should already know this but, you should absolutely 100% use Carrie and HHH as your coordinator and planner.
