My name is Joel and I am the band director and co-founder of the band Fly Fidelity. We worked with Mikaya and Caitlin last weekend at a beautiful wedding at Duke Mansion. I know that I am not exactly a client, but as a vendor that has worked with lots of different planners over the years, I can say that Honey and Thyme did an excellent job in setting us up for success. This is exactly what you need from a wedding planner. They can't do everything themselves, but they can help your other vendors prepare to execute their role and responsibility. On another note, they were very kind, available and communicative. If you want a wedding planner that is dedicated, experienced, accommodating, enthusiastic and kind-hearted, Honey & Thyme is a great choice.

When we started down our wedding planning journey, we were totally lost. We knew we wanted to have a wedding in NC, but had no idea how to even get started, let alone plan the whole thing. It didn't help we were both traveling constantly and live in Seattle! Caitlin & Mikayla helped us get started and had a plan for every step of the way. They kept things organized, and let us focus on the decision that needed to be made now, rather than stress about all the ones we still had to do. And when the day came around, things went absolutely flawlessly. Our wedding was amazing, it was so much fun and went so smoothly and we are so grateful for all the hard work their team put into a weekend we will remember forever!

Where to begin. We decided to hire a wedding planner because we both are not the best with details and planning and knew we would really need someone to help keep us on track and coordinate all the little details. I was initially interested in Honey + Thyme through their Instagram account for their aesthetic and was thrilled when our venue had them listed as a preferred vendor.

From the very beginning of the process, Caitlin and Mikayla were responsive, creative, and such a joy to work with. They made everything seamless for us and they brought our minimal vision to life and blew it out of the water. Our initial "Tuscan - neutral - organic" vision became a full blown feast for the eyes for our guests - from the long Italian style tables draped with beautiful fabric and floral table settings, with accents of cascading flowers and veggies fresh from the garden, to the affogato bar equipped with a antique ice cream stand, to the vintage popcorn machine at the ceremony, the little details that the H+T team curated were out of this word. They coordinated all the details and made the process an absolute breeze, but more over, they really have a special way of bringing a "vague" vision to life.

We could not recommend H+T enough -- if you are a couple limited time, a deficit in planning skills, and no idea where to start, H+T are a NEED to have. Most importantly, Caitlin and Mikayla (and the whole team (Hanalyse and Carly!) are joys to work with and are so wonderful that they feel like real friends by the end of the process. We cannot thank you all enough.
