Melissa Sent on 06/01/2024Truly the best, she gets it.
Carina was a lifesaver. We wanted a small, intimate, personal celebration and she knocked it out of the park. She was instrumental in helping us negotiate with our venue, find the right caterer for our needs, and get it all set up to perfection. She advocates for her clients, and offers guidance and suggestions along the way to help you fulfill the vision for your perfect event. Knowing that she had everything handled allowed us to relax the day of and just be present for our celebration. Truly could not have done this without her help! -

Daniela Z. Sent on 05/31/2024Amazing Planning + Even Better Execution
I worked with Carina on a wedding that was like something out of a movie. Everything from the florals, the location for the couple's portraits, and the live band was to-die-for. I still think about the couple's joy that day and how it was perfectly accented by all the details + coordination that made their wedding day special. Personally, I was the photographer, and I'm so excited to have already partnered up with Carina again for more weddings this year. She was so organized from the second we got in touch, and she made my job easier, so I can't wait to return the favor as we keep working together! -

Lifesaver for 3 month wedding
There is absolutely no way we could have pulled together our beautiful wedding in 3 months without the help, knowledge and resourcefulness of Carina and her team at CB Event & Design. From the knowledge of her vendors and coordination with them up to our big day, to questions we never would have known to ask with our venue, to making sure our wedding day went as smoothly as possible, she did an incredible job and would definitely recommend to a friend or family member. -

*Don't be scared by the lack of reviews. They are an experienced business and rebranded their name.*
For my D.C. micro-wedding of 24 guests, I hired CBED for coordination services that fell between something day-of and a month-of. Carina was my primary contact and was onsite day-of. We planned it 90% remotely: my now-husband and I live in California. I hired her in early April for a MID-JUNE wedding because we had to let my first planner go, so I was panicked at the time.
Top reasons she & CBED were awesome:
- NEVER tried to upsell us.
- Knows the industry, standard rates, and all sorts of events people around town.
- Communicated constantly the weeks before, putting my mind at ease
Other random above-and-beyond acts of awesomeness:
- Successfully negotiated with venue week-of when they tried to be lazy not taking some unattractive infrastructure down that they had erected
- Fixed a fashion emergency with groom that I never knew about
- Was the driver between hotel-venue for members of my wedding party that night AND me and my husband to photo site
- Make a plate of food for me during hair & makeup (I asked others, but they would be swept away or get distracted!) I would not have eaten beforehand otherwise.
- Brought straws up to the hotel suite just so I wouldn’t mess up my lipstick drinking. Small, but a considerate detail!
- Generally make sure I had restroom breaks and hand me food, water, booze - if I requested - during the wedding to make sure I was hydrated or feelin’ good
- Worked as the laptop DJ so we wouldn’t have to pay to hire a DJ.
And probably a dozen other things that I never even realized. Not only did she execute my vision (which was “urban garden oasis” in a small, personal, interfaith ceremony), she also respected our budget that we stated. We never felt like her vendors were her primary stakeholder.
Carina is also simply a fun, bubbly, kind person you want to get to know and feel in good hands with. Makes sense that she’s a former nurse. -

I used Cb Events for my day-of coordination and let me tell you, they are a class act that you can trust to take care of the big movements all the way down to the little details. Carina is great to work with and helped take the load off of not just the bride, but the whole wedding party, ensuring we could focus on what was important. Hands down the best investment for our wedding. -

Randy Sent on 10/11/2023Super professional team that was a pleasure to work with
I officiated a wedding that Carina's team planned, and they were so great to work with. The scheduling was really smooth and they managed to keep things stress-free, even with a challenging venue setup. They were always there to help when needed. Looking forward to working with them again very soon! -
