I truly cannot say enough good things about Carly and how much she did to make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. From the beginning, she was incredibly responsive, h...
elpful, and solution-oriented. I cannot even count the number of texts I sent her at completely random times throughout the planning process, and she always responded and somehow always had an answer, an idea, or a way to make something work.
She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected from a planner. She made our seating chart boards, found additional décor pieces to help pull everything together, and even edited my aisle song for me — which was absolutely not part of her job, but she did it anyway and did it so well. There were so many moments throughout planning where I genuinely thought, I have no idea how I would be doing this without her.
And then on the actual wedding day, I did not have to worry about a single thing. Carly and Haley had everything handled behind the scenes so seamlessly that I could actually just enjoy the day. Carly somehow had a talent for magically appearing with a drink anytime she noticed my hands were empty, made sure we had appetizers during the chaos of the day, and even made sure cheesecake was packed up for us to take home afterward. Those little details meant so much.
We also ended up having an issue with one of our shuttle buses, and instead of it becoming something we had to deal with on our wedding day, Carly immediately took over, problem-solved, and handled it. By the end of the night, all of our belongings and décor were packed up and sent home with family friends. They even commented afterward about how impressed they were with how organized and seamless the entire process was.
Beyond just being incredibly good at what she does, Carly’s sense of humor was such a breath of fresh air during the chaos of wedding planning. She made stressful moments feel lighter, and it was always so clear that she genuinely cared about us having the best day possible. I never once felt like we were simply another couple on her calendar or another source of income. She truly seemed invested in taking things off our shoulders and making the entire experience easier for us.
I am so incredibly thankful for Carly and Haley and everything they did for us. Our day would not have come together the way it did without them. I would recommend Carly in a heartbeat to any bride looking for someone who will not only make her wedding beautiful, but will make the entire planning process and wedding day infinitely less stressful. She was worth absolutely every penny and then some.
Carly and Haley were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! From the very beginning of the planning process, they were incredibly organized, ...
attentive, and supportive. On the big day, they handled every detail flawlessly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Thanks to them, everything flowed seamlessly and our day felt like an absolute dream come true. We are so grateful for their hard work, kindness, and dedication — we couldn't imagine our wedding without them!
Carly was beyond helpful for our wedding day as our day-of coordinator. She was timely, organized, and truly went above and beyond with everything! She helped with our wedding phot...
os when she had time, fixed & fluffed my dress before every pic, was on top of the timeline throughout the whole weekend, and had bonus rentals we used! She was really great to work with. Thank you, Carly, our day would NOT have been as smooth without you!!
Carly is a dream. She helped my husband and I navigate trying to plan a wedding in 2.5 months and then 2 weeks due to a family’s member cancer prognosis. She helped me find vendors...
at all hours to help pull off my dream wedding in little to no time. I can recommend Carly enough. She is warm, personable and and fabulous addition to our wedding. Thank you, Carly, for all of your help!
Carly was the absolute best day of coordinator we could have asked for!!! She went above and beyond in making our wedding day perfect for us. From the start she had great insight a...
nd advice, and even helped us find vendors and reached out to them which was more than we expected as our day of coordinator. She also has inventory (decor and such) that we were able to use for our day of which saved us a lot of money. The day of the wedding, Carly and Hayley helped with EVERYTHING and Carly made sure everything ran smoothly. I knew I didn't need to worry about coordinating set up, details, where people went and at what time etc - literally anything because she had it taken care of. We could focus on our wedding day and just be present and enjoy ourselves and spend time with our friends and family. If you are looking for a day of coordinator - Carats and Confetti is the way to go!!! I would choose Carly and her team again and again!!
Carly was amazing to work with! When you book a day-of-coordinator, you expect just that, only day of help! But Carly went above and beyond in getting us ready for our big day. ...
From details meeting 6 months out, her rental inventory, multiple meetings in person and over the phone and of course the morning of craziness! She even went out shopping and helped us find vow books 2 days before my wedding because ours had somehow disappeared… she is dedicated, knowledgeable, and so pleasant to work with! I can’t recommend her enough!
My husband and I were not planning on hiring a wedding coordinator, but when we met Carly at my brother’s wedding a few months before our own, we knew it would be so helpful to hav...
e her. She was amazing. She took care of all of the details on our wedding day so that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Carly helped decorate, made sure everything was on schedule, connected with all of our vendors, passed out our checks, dismissed guests to the buffet for dinner, helped coordinate speeches and photos, literally helped cut and serve our cake, packed up everything at the end of the night, and so much more. We are so thankful that we had Carly — our wedding day went by so smoothly because of her. We would 100% recommend her to help with your wedding!
Carats and Confetti is the absolute best! I could not have imagined our wedding day without them. Carly is someone you want there to make the decisions for you on your wedding day!...
We felt so taken care of with how thorough, diligent, kind and capable the Carats and Confetti team is! Haley and Carly were phenomenal as they took care of absolutely everything PLUS more! I was shocked at how seamless they were when it came to all of the set up. They placed all of the table decor and even helped last minute with putting greenery/extra florals on our staircase (which is not at all in their job description haha!! They’re just THAT amazing!!) They kept us on track without us feeling rushed. I cannot recommend this team enough! If you invest in something on your wedding day, you want to invest in how you and your spouse will feel — at ease, taken care of, able to be in the moment etc. Choose Carats and Confetti — you will forever be grateful!
Carly and her wedding coordination was by far the most helpful decision that my husband and I made when wedding planning. We were on the fence about using a wedding coordinator due...
to budget, but after drowning in details and contracts and phone calls my husband and I booked Carly. The stress of wedding planning was much relived once I had my first meeting with her. Carly asked questions and offered suggestions pertaining to our wedding plans that we had not even thought of. She got in contact with our vendors, and smoothed out logisitcs and details for our day of time line. She gave me a clear and concise "to do" list prior to the wedding, and offered helpful suggestion while also letting my husband and I's wedding day vision remain the priority. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience from the past weddings that she has worked, and she was able to help us prevent several wedding day issues. She was prompt in her response to our texts and emails throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, she had the ultimate Mary Poppins bag of supplies to help set up and take down go so smoothly. Overall, she took away the stress and hassle of wedding planning, and allowed me to enjoy the weeks leading up to the wedding, and of course- the big day itself!
Carly and Haley were amazing, and so fun to work with! They both were a big help in making our wedding day run smoothly, to say the least. In the months and weeks leading up to the...
day, Carly was only a text away from helping my every need, even at 11 pm at night! They went above and beyond, lending day-of supplies like stationery, candle holders, seating charts, etc. I was a very type-A bride but completely trusted Carly and Haley, and their expertise. Not only did their team hit every detail, but they made sure my husband and I were having fun and enjoying every moment of our day. By the end of the night, I considered them friends! I couldn't recommend Carats and Confetti enough!
Where do I even start?
Carly and Haley are THE BEST! I highly recommend Carats and Confetti!
I was planning a wedding from out of state (and country at one point!) and truly Ca...
rats and Confetti was my dream planning crew. Carly is a true professional. She had insight knowledge of the best vendors, trends, and helpful suggestions to make your day even that more special. She truly took our vision and executed it flawlessly.
Carly stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process. Countless facetimes, texts, and calls. Perfect communication. She helped me create a realistic timeline, and even put visions that I had into reality. She followed up with all the vendors to make sure everything was how we wanted it.
The day of the wedding was perfect and stress-free. Carly and Haley arrived early, and started doing their thing! They helped us set up, coordinate with the vendors, wrangle the wedding party, and even handle last minute things that came up. We never got behind schedule, due to Carly and Haley being on top of everything. I am so thankful for them.
At the end of the night, the car was packed with all of the decor that we brought, and all we had to do was get in the car and go. If you are looking for an exceptional planning team, you need Carly and Haley. I highly recommend Carats and Confetti for all your planning needs.
These ladies are amazing! They were helpful from day 1 and I was able to enjoy my wedding to the fullest extent! Carly and Haley made our day so special and I had absolutely no wor...

ing adjustments to our centerpieces- Carly did it all. She was so responsive, friendly, and amazing to work with. She kept us AHEAD of schedule, and I was able to sit back and enjoy my wedding day without a single worry in the world. I have gotten so many compliments about how nice and smooth of a wedding we had- and we owe every bit of it to Carly and her amazing work and help with the wedding. HIGHLY recommend checking her out!
Carly and Haley went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our wedding at Cafe Lurcat on 10/8 this year. Carly was constantly available to us, gave us invaluable advice, provided absolutely gorgeou...
s candles and table numbers, communicated with vendors, and truly just made this whole process so easy. She even left the event to go back to our hotel to grab something I forgot! She was a joy to work with and I couldn't recommend her enough.
We hired Carats and Confetti for our Colorado wedding. We worked with Haley for our big day and could not recommend this company enough. They went above and beyond for us on our da...
y and made sure we always were taken care of. If you are looking for a day coordinator who will go above and beyond - book this company! 15/10 recommend & would book again for our wedding. The team was great at communicating, set up multiple Facetime calls with me, helped me with decor and suggesting ideas, and made sure I was taken care of on my wedding day. Loved working with this team.
Very helpful on the day of our wedding, nice to have a day of planner! Thank you for alleviating stress!!
Carly was a coordinator for my wedding this past June. I cannot say enough as to how much she helped me make my big day effortless and amazing. From helping us run through the cere...
mony at the rehearsal dinner multiple times to ease my nerves, to helping pack up every last bit of decor and forgotten purse at the end of the night-she made my day an absolute dream. I was not anticipating needing a DOC until approximately 1.5 months before my wedding. BOY WAS I WRONG. She was so easy to work with and made all of my fears and concerns feel valid. Carly helped us with creating a timeline for the day of, offered ideas to make the ceremony and reception run smoothly (our favorite kid bit from her was to release our guests from their tables during dinner so that we could greet them all), organized the wedding party at the rehearsal dinner, grabbed coffee and lunch for the wedding party and family members, handled all of the vendors including greeting/paying/tipping, helped finish decorating the venue while I was getting ready, prepared everyone to walk down the aisle, and picked up EVERYTHING at the end of the night and loaded into our trailer (with the help of family and friends of course). I am sure there are so many more things that she accomplished that day that I have no clue about.
I can honestly say that my wedding, despite raining all day, was the best day ever. I felt like a queen and I had no worries (other than saying my vows in front of 200 people) because of Carly and her attention for detail and her ability to organize a large group of people. I am forever grateful. 🖤
Carly was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day! Her attention to detail and organization was sooo helpful. She got to our venue bright and early on our wedding day and spent th...
e entire morning decorating the venue and setting up the most stunning centerpieces (pics in comments ✨).
She put together our timeline for the day of and made sure everybody was where they were supposed to be for the ceremony and pictures (definitely necessary with a 16 person wedding party). We had our first look walking down the aisle, so all of our pictures were taken between the ceremony and reception. It was super important for us to get the pictures we wanted, but it was also super important for us to have pictures taken quickly so we could spend as much time with our guests as possible. Carly made that happen - everything went so smoothly. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I had no idea, all thanks to Carly!! So, so grateful for Carly’s help making our day so magical ☺️💕
We got married in December during a snow storm and having day of coordinators was a lifesaver! I am a control freak and don’t like to delegate but Carly and Haley were so amazing a...
nd I felt like I could trust them to make the day go perfectly. Having not 1 but 2 coordinators was amazing and beyond helpful. I didn’t have to worry about details the day of and knew that everything would be handled! Our DJ didn’t bring the right microphone so Carly actually talked to our venue and got theirs for speeches so that we wouldn’t have any sound issues. It’s the little things like that which made a huge difference for our big day and made it totally worth it! I definitely recommend Carats + Confetti- they were helpful from the first meeting to the big day! I had 2 wedding planning books but Carly’s input was even more helpful and she made sure that I was on time with all of my planning items and getting everything set up in the months leading up to the wedding.
Carly and Haley with Carats and Confetti were an absolute blessing when it came to our wedding day. I went back and forth on if we needed event coordination and there's no doubt it...
was worth it! These ladies exceeded my expectations. During my first meeting with Carly, she was so prepared (more than I was 😆) and I felt so relieved that all the details of my wedding day were in great hands.
They were in contact with all of my vendors the day of our wedding, making sure everything I planned/asked for was created.
These ladies were not only amazing coordinators but truly are the sweetest people and this whole experience created lovely friendships!
We used Carly & Haley for our wedding and it hands down the best decision we made regarding our wedding! Not only were they extremely affordable compared to any other coordinator, ...
but they went above and beyond any expectation I had! The team really makes you feel like family, because they want your day to run as smoothly as possible. We sat down before my wedding and I explained my vision and they made it come to life, but only better! They took away all the stress I had when it came to our wedding day. I have recommended them to all of my friends who are getting married because I know they are in great hands! Definitely use C&C for your wedding, I promise you will not regret it!!! :)
