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.

I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany.

She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life.

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!!

As a bride planning for a 2022 wedding, engaging ARH Events was an excellent decision. I would strongly recommend them to any bride-to-be who is organizing their dream wedding. I had been in touch with several other wedding planners, but ARH Events was the first to arrange a meeting and provide clear information about packages and pricing, which I greatly appreciated. Amy brought my dream wedding to life. Being an out-of-state bride, I had concerns about realizing my vision, but Amy exceeded all expectations. She was deeply involved in the planning process and consistently responded to my queries via email. Choosing ARH Events proved to be a wise decision due to Amy's extensive experience. Her knowledge of numerous vendors enabled me to secure discounts from my preferred suppliers. Furthermore, her familiarity with my venue simplified the decor planning and setup process. My wedding day unfolded flawlessly, thanks to the Amy at ARH Events. I was spared the task of dealing with vendors or answering countless questions.

The checklist she gave me helped so much during planning, especially the closer we got.

Our venue didn’t allow us to start decorating until 1pm and our first look was at 1pm. I can’t imagine the stress I would have had if we didn’t have JayLynn and her team to decorate.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I hired Kat and the Evviva team for full planning/design and late night film for our November 2024 wedding. After our first call with Kat, we hung up and knew she was the absolute best person to make our vision come to life. I truly cannot imagine our day without her and her team who made it beyond anything we could have dreamed. Kat took our Pinterest boards, our wild ideas, and ALL our conversations and made every detail big and small so perfect. The day of our wedding was an absolute blast thanks to Kat and Nikki for making us feel like royalty and taking the stress off our plates. If we could renew our vows every year just to work with Kat, Nikki, Natalie and Bridget again we absolutely would. Best decision ever! 100000/10!!

I can't recommend enough booking through Raleigh Weddings as your planner. Carina was an absolute angel through the wedding planning process and all of our wedding day needs! She listened to all of our wants and made the day everything I could ever ask for. I couldn't have done all the details and vendor coordinating without her there to help guide and arrange. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristen and her team were amazing- her services were the most critical part of our wedding! She was so organized and on top of everything for the wedding, as soon as I hired her I felt so much more at ease with the planning process. I did a pretty much DIY wedding, my venue did not provide anything other than the venue and furniture, therefore, I had a lot of moving parts to my wedding and multiple vendors involved. Kristen took all the chaotic information I provided and streamlined the whole thing. She organized everything for me into a very easy to follow timeline and then was in constant communication with all the vendors. My regular hair dresser is the hair dresser I used for my wedding and she and I are friends. She told me that from a vendor's perspective, Kristen was the best coordinator/planner she had ever worked with. She was very impressed with her constant communication and all of the details she thought of in preparation of the event. Kristen and her team took my vision and made it a reality which was no easy task but she got it done. This was hands down the most positive experience I had in wedding planning/preparation and I would highly recommend Kristen for any planning needs!

We strive to provide pure bliss to each of our clients most memorable events.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

We had several meetings to go over all the finer details of our big day. Her attention to detail & willingness to provide exactly what is envisioned is top tier. I got to the bottom of the aisle before realizing I had left my bouquet inside, without hesitation, Katie bolted there and back just in time. She also handled a situation that shouldn’t have occurred at a wedding. We are forever grateful for all the time & effort Katie put into our big day!!
