Over the past year I have loved getting to work with Andrew for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew Andrew was going to be the best decision we made. I appreciated our check-in meetings, vendor recommendations, and mainly the support I felt. The meetings were extremely helpful- even if you think you have everything under control, I found myself having new tasks to complete after each one- Andrew seriously knows all the ins and outs of planning a wedding! I went into the wedding planning process with a lot of visions, Andrew assured me he would help in any way he could to make them happen. Our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined. We were and still are in love with our ceremony set up, to the reception layout and how flawless the timeline felt. We loved every moment and would recommend A.Carey events to anyone for any event!!

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Hickory, NC

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Where do I even begin?? Savannah made my day absolutely beautiful, seamless, stress free and organized! The very idea of planning a wedding in 7 months was enough to overwhelm me and she kept me on track with what needed to be done and when. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! Our Hilton Head wedding was truly the best day ever and that is in big part because of her. My mother in law loved her so much she asked me if Savannah would be willing to travel to Texas for my sister in laws wedding when that happens. If you’re unsure of who to choose, Olivia Lauren is it.

Hey there! My name is Alanah. I've been planning and working in events since 2017. I've planned weddings, large conferences, corporate events, family gatherings, birthday parties and more. I've worked as a wedding planner at large hotels and resorts to small local wineries. To me, every wedding is unique and I'm here to make sure your vision comes to life. I look forward to the possibility of creating your dream wedding together!

I think with every wedding there can be bumps along the way that can really alter how your day goes. However, I was incredibly lucky to have Alanah assist me at my rehearsal and the day of my wedding. She was fast at responding to all of my needs and was never far away when I requested her. I will say with the errors that happened on my big day, none of them reflected back on Alanah. I am able to look back and know that the rehearsal and ceremony would not have went as smooth as it did without her help. Moving forward, anyone would be SO lucky to have her as a wedding planner! Nothing but great things to say about her!! Thank you again!! :)

Courtney and her team at Combe & Co were AMAZING! As an event planner and type A personality it was hard to turn something over to someone when you have a vision in your head of what it should look like Those fears and that anxiety were put to rest as soon as I met Courtney and her team. Her month, week and day of coordination went off without a hitch. There were hiccups as with all weddings but I never even knew about them. Her team knew what I needed before I ever even said anything. I cant recommend Combe & Co to enough people.

For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible.

Can't emphasize enough how all my stresses went away once she stepped in and solved any issues before we knew they were a thing. The day of went so smoothly because at every step Carina and her assistant we're there to tackle things while still having fun with us! She's the best planner and person I'm so glad I had her by my side for the biggest day of my life! Don't hesitate and book her ASAP!

I hired Katie as my assistant planner for an August wedding. This is our second time working together on a wedding. She is easy to work with and is on her A game. Her emergency kit saved the entire day. Hiring Katie is a must, and she loves color as I do when planning events. We actually have another wedding booked together in October, and I am looking forward to the next time I work with her.

It was such a privilege working with Kaite and we could not recommend her enough!! Katie was AMAZING to work with and I can’t imagine my wedding experience without her. I hired Katie for partial planning which I am so beyond thankful for because she was the only person who kept me sane through this entire process. I knew I was in great hands after our very first meeting. I was very indecisive on a lot of decisions I had to make, and she was my hype woman through it all and reassured me through every step of the process. She was very meticulous, organized, and knowledgeable. She had no issues with me reaching out and asking questions leading up to her takeover on the 3 month out mark and once she stepped in, it was a huge sigh of relief for me. She was always very quick and prompt to respond to any questions I had. I truly looked forward to speaking with her in our meetings to update her on how everything was progressing/next steps. Our wedding day was seamless, which allowed us to fully enjoy the moment with all our friends and families. I am so grateful for all of Katie and her team’s hard work- their dedication and expertise allowed us to enjoy our special day. My wedding was everything that I envisioned and more, thanks to her. It was truly a beautiful, stress-free day that I want to relive over and over!! People are still talking about it. Planning a wedding is no joke and there is so much that goes into it that you would not even think of. Hire Keystone Event Co!

We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!

A year out from my wedding I reached out to Paige for her services. When I say that this women went over and beyond to assist me in making sure this wedding was what I wanted she really did execute the tasks. It could be midnight and if I had an idea or wanted her advice on something she made herself available. When the day came for the wedding she really put everything together and it was beautiful. So glad I decided to use her services
