The Umstead team is extraordinary
I've worked with The Umstead's wedding & events team for over eight years, and they truly are the gold standard of excellence in the Triangle area. They are courteous, communicative, kind, professional, and well-versed in every aspect of a high-level wedding or event. Kayla and Haley are so kind and prompt in their communication, so collaborative in their approach to event planning, and so dedicated to the success of each event they host. I am always thrilled when our teams get to work together, because from the first client introduction through the fast-paced day of setup, execution and wrap-up, The Umstead's team is truly a joy to know and work with.
