Wedding Planning rooted in Hospitality | Serving Southwest Virginia and Beyond

Hi there, & Congratulations!

You are now officially engaged, which means you have the rest of your life to look forward to with your absolute best friend by your side! This is such a sweet time in your life, and it should be enjoyed to the fullest: reminiscing on your favorite past memories, dreaming about your future together, and continuing to find new ways to love and serve one another in the present!

Planning a wedding that embodies and reflects your unique love story is a significant undertaking, one that has the potential to introduce stress and overwhelm. You don’t want to spend your entire engagement stressing over the wedding planning process, researching countless vendors, trying to discern the endless information that’s being thrown at you, all while working and/or going to school full-time, maintaining family and social relationships, and preparing for married life with your best friend!

That’s where I come in.

My job is to take the burdens of “where do I begin?” “what’s next?” and “are we missing anything?”  off of your shoulders by anticipating your needs, being your trusted advocate at every turn, and guiding you seamlessly through the process from the time we begin working together all the way through your wedding day and beyond.

Wedding planning rooted in hospitality:

  • You feel confident and comfortable throughout the process

  • Your guests feel warmly invited into your love story

“I originally thought that we didn’t need a wedding planner and that I could do everything myself, but we decided to hire one just in case. Now 2 weeks after my wedding, I can’t even imagine what the weekend would have been like if we hadn’t hired Carley. There were so many details that I hadn’t thought of that she completely took care of… It was so nice to have someone there to remind us of the schedule but not push us. It was also so peaceful and reliving to know that she was there keeping track of time and details so that we could enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything else at all.

If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, I highly recommend that you do. It was such a great decision, and we absolutely recommend Carley. She made sure that we were happy and comfortable the entire weekend. Thank you, Carley!”
