Lorin was extremely professional and by far the best wedding planner there is. Lauren and I had several meetings throughout the 16 month long engagement I had. We met via zoom and she was available via text as well. She is very creative, flexible, , professional and so much more. Lorin was able to take my wedding Pinterest board and bring it to life. She has a large decoration stock which enabled me to reduce the cost of spending on my decorations. Lauren even went through the planning process with us, she gave me a tool to help me stay on track with the planning process. When I had an issue with one of my vendors, she was able to professionally deal with the issue and ensure that I got what I wanted for my wedding day. Lorin and her assistant Kathy were able to help us move through our wedding day smoothly. From the day I met Lorin to my wedding day, I felt that Lorin was professional and experienced. For the amount of services I have received, versus what I paid for, Lorin went above and beyond to make sure my wedding day was amazing. I hired Lorin for day-of and I felt that she gave me the individualized and personalized experience.

... and her name is Lorin!

Lorin & her business, Carter Creations, were instrumental in making my wedding day spectacular. I clicked with Lorin during the free consultation, and her quote was within our budget, so I hired her. She was very organized, experienced, and knowledgeable. She has connections with various vendors from all over NC, which I found to be immensely helpful because there are SO MANY good choices for florists and DJs and deserts - it's hard to know where to start! She also has a large inventory of wedding supplies that we relied on for decor at our wedding, including a welcome mirror/sign that I loved and an AWESOME sweetheart table setup (see photos). It looked SO classy and I was thrilled by how beautiful it looked and how well it went with the eclectic vibe we had going.

She has various apps and online software tools that we used together to help plan the day, including a custom timeline that kept me organized as we prepped for the big day. It was critical to have her to help me stay accountable for getting stuff done! The other key tool is the 3D mockup software. She had a virtual layout of our venue and was able to show me various setup options so I could better envision my day.

It rained for our day, so we had to switch to our Rainy Day Plan. And you know what? Many of our guests told me they thought it was our original plan; it was so organized and seamless! The biggest reason I'm so grateful to Lorin and THRILLED that I hired her because I able to be present on my wedding day and enjoy the company of my loved ones more than I would have if I had been busy setting stuff up or hustling around.

I would recommend her to any of my friends who are getting married, as well as y'all out there on WeddingWire reading this review ;) !!

Lorin was amazing to work with! Very thoughtful and kept me organized as a DIY Bride. I really appreciated her and her team for helping my vision come to be. There were things that went wrong on the day of with vendors that pushed us back almost an hour and she handled it like the pro she is. She even helped me after the wedding when I was discussing these issues with vendors. I have already recommended her to a friend.

Like I said, I was a DIY Bride so I really needed someone to help with setup/take down of decor and helping me iron out details. Lorin did that and then some. There was even a decor item that my uncle set up, but forgot to take down, that her team said they could take down for me.

Finally, I want to highlight the moral support Lorin provided. Like I said, things went wrong at the wedding that made it impossible to do key activities I had planned. Lorin and her team encouraged me during the event and when I was over it, suggested that I still end my night with the planned send-off. It went amazing and the pictures were gorgeous.
