Protea Event Planners

We cannot put into words how thankful we are for our day-of-wedding coordinator, Caroline. From the moment she started, she took complete command of the day with grace, professionalism, and a calming presence that allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding reception without stress. She went above and beyond in every possible way – from handling last-minute delays with vendors, to keeping the entire timeline on track and flexible as things changed, to managing every tiny detail we hadn’t even thought of such as keeping me the bride hydrated lol. She was even kind enough to carry decor in her own car to drop it off at my house as our own cars were full. What impressed us most was her ability to anticipate needs before we even realized them. She was two steps ahead at every turn, always checking in with kindness but never intruding. Her professionalism was matched only by her genuine warmth – we felt like we had a friend by our side who truly cared about making our day perfect. Our parents couldn’t stop raving about how hardworking Caroline was! If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, do it – and if you can book Caroline, consider yourself incredibly lucky. We’re endlessly grateful.

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline this past weekend for a wedding at Visitation Hotel in Frederick, MD as a fellow vendor. She is extremely professional and very easy to work with on what can sometimes be stressful days for vendors! She was communicative in the months/days leading up to the wedding itself and always answered any questions I had very quickly. On the day of the wedding, she or a member of her team, were always quick to relay updates and keep me in the loop on timing. If I ever needed help with something, Protea Event's team was there! I really appreciated their professionalism and will happily recommend Caroline to future clients.

We brought on Protea Event Planners about a month out from our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Caroline served as the central point of contact with all vendors, managing communication seamlessly and making sure every detail was coordinated. The support during those final weeks was invaluable and took so much pressure off us. On the wedding weekend, the team's hands-on support made everything run flawlessly and they handled the happy chaos with incredible grace. A special shoutout to Crystal and Meghan for being calming and organized fixtures of the weekend. Caroline is organized, communicative, and made the whole process feel manageable and even fun. Thank you for your heartfelt support and thoughtful touches throughout the entire journey!
