Working with Chynna was an absolute dream from start to finish. She coordinated our wedding in Martha’s Vineyard, and I honestly don’t know how we would have pulled it off without her. Starting with our very first meeting, she brought such calm, clarity, and confidence to the entire process. What could have easily been overwhelming turned into something joyful, seamless, and fun — thanks to Chynna. She handled every detail with such grace and precision — managing vendors, logistics, timelines, and last-minute curveballs like a pro. It was clear from day one that she not only knows what she’s doing, but truly cares about her clients and their vision. She listened closely, gave thoughtful advice, and always had a solution ready before I even had to ask. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything ran flawlessly from the ceremony to the reception, and that peace of mind was the greatest gift I could have asked for. So many of our guests commented on how beautifully everything flowed, and I was able to be fully present knowing Chynna had everything under control. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is organized, creative, deeply kind, and a true professional — Chynna is pure magic. She made our Martha’s Vineyard wedding unforgettable, and we will forever be grateful for her talent, heart, and dedication.

I have received over 1,000 images/videos in content, and still have even more coming! What’s crazy is half the time, we didn’t notice Katelyn there, but she still somehow captured every moment! I love that she wasn’t in our faces or constantly bothering us for photos/videos. This way, we were able to enjoy every aspect of our day! Katelyn truly embodied what being “behind the scenes” means! She was also always there when someone did want to ask for a photo, and always obliged, even when my mom was constantly asking her LOL. We got our raw footage back within 48 hours, and most of it after less than 24 hours. We are so grateful for Katelyn capturing all of our special moments!

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!

Hiring Chelsea as our wedding planner was, without question, the best decision we made. She handled both full-service planning and design, and her talent blew us away. Her eye for design is truly unmatched — every detail was so thoughtfully executed and stunning. She brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way while still offering expert guidance and honest feedback when we needed it. What made the entire experience so special was how stress-free it felt. From the very beginning, we trusted Chelsea completely, and because of that, we were able to actually enjoy the process. Everything felt fun and easy because we knew she had it all handled — timelines, vendors, logistics, you name it. We never had to worry, and that peace of mind was absolutely priceless. We opted for full planning because we wanted her support on everything, from vendor communication to invitations and save-the-dates — and we’re so glad we did. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how calm, proactive, and easygoing she was. She was always one step ahead, and her presence on the day of the wedding brought so much calm and confidence. She has truly been my rock over the past year and a half. By the end, she felt more like a friend than just a planner. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Chelsea again and again. We truly love her and owe our amazing day to her passion, creativity, and heart.

My name is Makenzie, a North Carolina native and UNC–Chapel Hill graduate with a love for creativity, organization, and meaningful moments. When I’m not researching vendors, breaking down budgets, or perfecting timelines, you can usually find me hiking, crafting, or spending time with my mini-me’s. Wedding planning felt like a natural calling once I realized I could combine my love for celebrations with my knack for lists, spreadsheets, and problem-solving. I approach each couple like a trusted friend, creating a calm, supportive planning experience so you can truly enjoy your engagement and wedding day.

We had an amazing experience with Carolina Event Masters. We had Kenzie as our coordinator as well as two amazing assistants. We had a 7-month engagement and got married December 20, 2025 for a wedding in Henderson, NC with about 100 people in attendance. We found CEM through a NC brides Facebook page when we posted looking for day-of coordinators. CEM had several options for what level of support we needed and we went with the middle option - it comprised, in brief, day-of coordination and running the rehearsal, assistance finding a few vendors, and several planning meetings. The level of service we received was what I'd expect from a planner more than a coordinator. CEM wasn't there to show up the day-of and motion to the piano to start playing. They coordinated in advance every moment of the day to make sure it went smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Not only did they get the contact info of all the vendors for emergencies, but they confirmed every policy and communicated with them in advance to make sure they knew what to expect. They toured the church and reception venue to make sure they were familiar with the spaces. Not only did they helped with what we asked about, but they asked questions to help us avoid making last-minute decisions or missing things that were important to us that we hadn't thought about. For ex., they asked about what we wanted to happen with the flowers after the reception. They also gave us advice based on their experience. For ex., recommending we list the table assignments by last name. The rehearsal was very professional and pleasant - they were very prompt and made sure to go through everything thoroughly. The day of the wedding they split up between church/reception venue. EVERYTHING was either on-time or early all day. They went above and beyond to help set up the reception - something we definitely didn't expect from a coordinator. Our reception venue had staff that set the tables etc., and we had a florist, but CEM reviewed everything, made sure the placecards/kids bags/high chiars were in the right place down to the chair, etc. They also were familiar with the type of photobooth we rented and they set it up entirely for us. All this set up and more was just way beyond what we expected and extremely helpful. We could tell they were invested in making everything beautiful and perfect. Sarah also took several beautiful photos for us - a complete surprise and very special treat. One of our favorite photos from the night was one she took of our first dance. This also gave us a sneak peak into what the reception looked like before anyone had arrived! (All attached photos are from her). We had an issue with our seating chart and they saved the day - long story short it was going to be delivered AFTER the wedding and we thought we were out of luck. I mentioned the issue to Kenzie and when I arrived from the church after the ceremony I saw the seating chart in the doorway before our entry! She had ordered it, picked it up, and set it up for us. I don't know how she did it, but she did, and it was so thoughtful and touching that she would put in that extra effort on top of everything they had on their plates. I could go on and on but I hope this reflects just some of what CEM did for our wedding and how thrilled we were with them. They are a lovely group of people. If we HAD to cut any cost or change any vendor, they would be last on the list. It was perfect.

Candace with Overjoyed Weddings and Events was absolutely amazing! From the moment we hired her, she jumped right in to organize our scattered thoughts and plans. Our venue had separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and Candace kept everything running perfectly—making each transition smooth and on time.
