Do you need a wedding planner, YES! And Carrie is your woman!! Being a COVID bride in 2020 brought a unique set of challenges and having Carrie by our side was the best decision we could have made. We started planning in 2018 and had everything pretty much set (venue, photographer, videographer, DJ, transportation service) by the middle of 2019 for our fall 2020 wedding. We all know what happens next… Carrie was there, right beside us, walking us through every change and challenge as it happened. She handled the logistics when we had to cancel our venue and book a smaller one. Not having to do that alone was the greatest gift. Throughout the whole process she was in our corner and fought for us to have the perfect day. I would have just given up and accepted that it is what it is, but Carrie figured out solutions to any issue we encountered and went above and beyond to get us things we couldn’t even imagine. There were a million details that she handled the day of the event so that all we had to do was enjoy our day and get married. She made everything run seamlessly. I’m sure it was more of a “duck on the water” situation but all we saw was her swimming effortlessly along the top of the water, even if I’m sure her legs were going a million miles an hour underneath. Also, as a lesbian couple, Carrie was supportive and loving and accepted us in such a genuine way.

We feel so lucky to have found Carrie Skinner. Early in our planning process, we realized that doing a wedding without a day-of coordinator would be difficult. We knew that it would be hard to focus on the moments of the day if we had to manage small details and coordinate the event. We looked on an LGBT wedding site and found Carrie was recommended. From our first conversation with Carrie we knew she needed to be part of our experience. Carrie took time to get to know us as a couple and our vision for our wedding day. She had incredibly helpful suggestions for our event as well as for vendors, musicians, and typical wedding necessities. Carrie helped us navigate conversations with our vendors so that we could get every detail managed and taken care of. We would not have been able to advocate for our needs without her help. Carrie made our day so special and helped to make sure everything went smoothly. She took care of details the morning of so that we didn’t have to worry about anything but getting married and enjoying the experience. She was patient, flexible, and knowledgeable all while maintaining her calm and her sense of humor. We had such a wonderful time getting to know her and know that our wedding experience would not have been the same without having a personal and friendly connection with our coordinator. We highly recommend Carrie on Events for your wedding-everyone deserves to have their wedding dreams come true!

I met Carrie at a bridal show and we instantly clicked. From the beginning planning all the way after the wedding she and her team were an absolutely vital aspect . She is extremely organized and helpful . She truly took the time to execute my extremely detailed and over the top vision. She worked so smoothly with our venues on site coordinator that the coordinator pulled me aside and told me she loved working with her. Even on wedding day When rain forced us to move our cocktail hour inside she was quick on her toes. Carrie is amazing ! You would be crazy not to hire her to do your wedding .
