From Coast to Toast LLC

  • Serves Engelhard, NC

My passion for making dreams come true started in 2017 when I entered the floral industry fresh out of college. During my seven year career as a floral designer, I was given an opportunity to try out event coordination at a company in Greensboro. After being thrust into the event world, I very quickly realized that my personable disposition, intuitive nature, and ability to make important decisions in a timely and professional manner gave me an excellent skill set for the wedding planning industry. Now with years of experience under my belt, I'm excited to own and operate my own wedding business in the Outer Banks!

Jennifer was the Day-Of-Coordinator for our wedding day! But even before our wedding day, she was incredible to work with from the start (booking) to finish (wedding day)! You can tell by the quality of her work and by the way she goes about her business that she both 1) truly cares about her clients and 2) truly loves what she does! Throughout the planning process Jennifer was flexible and attentive, working with us to a create a vision board to ensure our vision of the day and florals would come to life! Throughout the planning process, Jennifer was very responsive to emails and video calls, never letting 24 hours go by without hearing back which put us at ease! She truly listened to our vision for the day, and she absolutely delivered and helped to make our dream day come to life. The florals Jennifer put together (bouquets, cross arrangement, table arrangements, and a stunning hanging display to name a few!) were absolutely breath-taking and beautiful, better than anything I could have imagined! Not only that, Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was extremely kind, caring, and authentic as she helped to coordinate the wedding. She communicated seamlessly with vendors and put out all the fires that came her way, and there were a few!! But she did so in a way that reflected professionally on her business and us as her clients. If it was not for Jennifer, I truly believe we would have had so many disasters on our wedding day, but she truly was the glue holding everything together and keeping everything running smoothly!! The most sweet part was that I was truly unaware of most of the mishaps until after-the-fact because Jennifer handled everything so well, and always came up to me with a smile, a thumbs up, and left with a wink! She put out all the fires that came her way and did it with such grace, kindness, and professionalism! I would 1000% recommend From Coast to Toast Wedding Coordination and Jennifer’s services to anyone having a wedding in the Kitty Hawk/Nags Head/Coastal area. You will not be disappointed. Our wedding probably would have been a disaster if it wasn't for Jennifer! And not only that, sh created BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements, installations, bouquets, and boutonnières for us that made everything look so beautiful. We can't Jennifer enough for all that she did for us! #1 Vendor! Thank you, Jennifer, from the bottom of our hearts! If I could, I would give From Coast to Toast a 20/10 review!!

Smooth Sailing Weddings 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Engelhard, NC

With deep local expertise, trusted vendor relationships, and a genuine love for bringing one-of-a-kind wedding visions to life, my goal is to make your planning experience feel seamless and stress-free. Wedding planning becomes fun, personal & thoughtfully guided, so you feel seen, heard, and taken care of every step of the way.

Sasha Voronova and the Smooth Sailing Team is by far the best decision we made for our wedding this past October (Co-Planning Package). From the professional consultation to the post-wedding lunch date (where we got to gush over everything all over again, including videos and pictures Sasha took of our wedding day!), Sasha was warm, fun, and so incredibly helpful! She put us at ease and made planning this big event not only fun, but what felt like a breeze. She had spreadsheets galore to support every phase of planning, making it very approachable to review vendors, track expenses, and explore resources and websites for anything we needed or were interested in researching on our own. Using her co-planning package, we were routinely impressed with Sasha's professional preparedness blended with her creativity to shape our vision for our wedding, without pushing her own agenda. As is common for throwing a wedding during hurricane season, we needed to go with our "indoor plan" due to the weather. Even though we had picked a venue that had an easy and spacious option for an indoor plan (Jennette's Pier), it was not what any of us wanted. However, Sasha met with us a few days before the wedding and had come up with the most magical plan that included flipping the room from a traditional ceremony set-up to the reception area (which she pulled off in 12 minutes!). She did this all without sacrificing the beauty we envisioned for both parts of our wedding or without disrupting the flow of cocktail hour or our guests experience. Looking back we are still in such awe of her vision, direction, and calm presence to make it all happen. Outside of the stress that comes with "how do we stay dry in this?!" we never felt a moment of stress or anxiety as we moved through the day. She had even planned a special-surprise for us as we arrived at the venue based on something she learned about us in getting to know us. Sasha is a DELIGHT to work with and you would be lucky to have her as your planner. We are lucky to get to call her our friend now.

I cannot recommend Kristen Caputo Weddings & Events highly enough! My husband and I had a beach wedding last month and I was trying to handle everything myself, until I realized just how overwhelmed I was. Kristen had great reviews and after reaching out, I thought she had very fair prices for her services. I hired her to be my coordinator and I’m SO thankful I did! After every planning call with her, I would feel like a weight was lifted. She always had such helpful input throughout our calls and there are SO many things I would have overlooked without her there to guide me. On the big day Kristen and her Assistant Megan were AMAZING! I really thought I was going to spend the day worrying about if things were being set up the way I wanted them. On the actual day I wasn’t worried at all, by that point I had so much confidence in Kristen I knew she’d make it happen! And she did! My wedding was set up exactly how I wanted it and everything flowed so nicely! Megan waited with my dad and I before walking down the aisle and she was a lifesaver! She held all my things and helped me stay calm! Our ceremony turned out beautifully. I couldn’t believe how pretty it looked when I got to the aisle! It was better than I had hoped for. For the reception Kristen and Megan directed all our guests while we took photos. Then they made sure we got food and drinks and some time to ourselves before the socializing. Our reception turned out to be so much fun and all of our friends and family LOVED Kristen and Megan! They got to know our guests and they just felt like family celebrating with us by the end of the night! To any brides reading this in need of a wedding coordinator/planner- do yourself a favor and contact Kristen right now! My wedding was a beautiful, fun, and unforgettable day and I owe that to all of Kristen and Megan’s hard work!!! I couldn’t have done it without them!

Dana, Tara, and the entire Thyme and Details team are nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, their exceptional management skills, attentive listening, and dedication turned what we thought was impossible into a seamless, unforgettable reality for our September wedding. Their full-service planning is worth every penny—and more. The team handled every detail with precision and care, gracefully adapting to the inevitable twists and turns that come with planning such a major event. They didn’t just meet our expectations; they exceeded them with thoughtful touches and moments of surprise and delight throughout the year-long process. One of the standout aspects was their vendor recommendations. They guided us toward partners who perfectly matched the theme and energy we envisioned for our day, elevating the entire experience. When a major hurdle arose with the delivery timing of some rentals, Dana went above and beyond, advocating fiercely to ensure everything worked out perfectly. Her determination and professionalism made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thanks to their experience, tools, patience, and boundless endurance, planning became not only manageable but enjoyable.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Memories Made with Brittney Lashea at a wedding recently. I've worked in the wedding photography business for five years now, and I've seen a LOT of planners in that time. Brittney stands head and shoulders above nearly all of them! She's extremely professional, knowledgable, and experienced, and all of these things manifested in a classy, smooth-running and elegant wedding event. It went off without a hitch. As a professional, Brittney helped make my job easier in various ways, from communicating the timeline well in advance, to even setting up and posing some fun and tricky shots. There were several cases where I was afforded much more time to photograph than I'm typically allowed, which is a rare, unexpected but appreciated blessing. She gracefully coordinated and navigated the day, keeping things on-track in an extremely friendly, professional way. I look forward to working with Memories Made with Brittney Lashea again and again. Robert Burns Owner, Robert Burns II Photography & Videography

I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all.

We’ve been raving about how our day felt like us. Zoe was such a big part of this. Throughout the event, Zoe was a constant calm and organized force. She nailed the tablescape and venue decor, going above and beyond with her attention to detail and creativity. I felt that she took the time to know exactly what we wanted. There were multiple moments where I felt she went above and beyond. I knew I could turn to her if I needed anything knowing that the event was in good hands as the evening progressed. Since we hired multiple vendors independently, the group needed organization and direction - Zoe was the guiding leader for our night. We had some unexpected challenges, she managed it all so well and prevented us from having any stress with a completely level headed and professional demeanor. I found that her communication style before, during, and after the event was thorough, caring, and honest. During our planning call, she showed in multiple ways that she cared about what we wanted out of the day and intended to really help us achieve the correct vibe. She was truly a pleasure to work with and recommendations were wonderful. Our friends are raving about the event and so are we. I do really accredit this to Zoe and the energy she brought to coordinating our event. I HIGHLY recommend Zuzu Collective. Thank you for everything, Zoe!

Working with J.J. Ash Events and Designs for a Jacksonville wedding was an absolute dream. I was the cake artist, and Ashanti handled the florals. When the bride shared her vision, I immediately thought of Ashanti because I’ve worked with her before and absolutely love her work. She’s one of the rare designers who can balance creativity with realism while delivering flawless execution. For this wedding, we had to transform an inspiration photo into a glam-style red wedding design, and Ashanti absolutely delivered. The bride wanted florals showcased inside acrylic tiers for the cake—a unique and challenging concept. These acrylic tiers had to be sourced from London, measured precisely, customized with Ashanti’s florals, and transported from Virginia to Florida and survive 3-4 days. Not only did the floral design make the journey, but it also held up beautifully throughout the wedding. The result? Stunning florals that tied the cake seamlessly into the overall wedding design. The bride was overjoyed, the guests were amazed, and I was blown away. Together, we created a once-in-a-lifetime piece for a deserving couple and seeing the bride’s ecstatic reaction made all the effort worth it. Ashanti’s talent speaks for itself, but what truly sets her apart is her professionalism. She’s communicative, detail-oriented, and incredibly down-to-earth. She knew exactly how to bring the vision to life and worked closely with me to ensure every detail was perfect. Honestly, I couldn’t have pulled this off without her expertise. Good on J.J. Ash for requesting reviews from vendors and guests—it’s a smart move that highlights the joy they create for couples. I’ve seen Ashanti and her team work tirelessly through weddings, sometimes staying until the very end (I’m usually there past the cake cutting, haha!). By the time the dust settles, the couple is married, their photos are stunning, and their videos capture every magical moment. Reflecting on those moments reminds me how much of a privilege it is to be part of such special events. As a vendor, I appreciated how communicative and organized Ashanti was throughout the process. She asked all the right questions, provided clear instructions, and made herself available if I needed clarification. Unfortunately, not everyone in this industry is that dependable. I’ve seen vendors drop the ball, fail to respond, or avoid accountability—but not J.J. Ash. Ashanti and her team were on top of every detail and worked to have all vendors comply and work together seamlessly. Their dedication and professionalism made this collaboration a joy, and the end result was nothing short of magical. Their results don’t lie—J.J. Ash Events and Designs truly delivers excellence. Hats off to Ashanti and her team for creating unforgettable moments for their clients. I can’t wait to work with them again! — @ButtercreamPlease • Modern wedding and celebration cakes

I highly recommend Lauren and her team! We came to them last minute, and the outcome was better than I could have ever dreamed. Not only is Lauren one of the kindest souls I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, but her care and attention to detail is amazing. Phenomenal experience all around!!

If you want to see your dreams come true, using Parris as your wedding planner is the way to make that happen. She is extremely thorough and confident in what she does. We went with her full service planning and it is beyond worth it. It's hard to say I ever felt stressed while planning the wedding, and the entire wedding day could not have gone more perfectly/smoothly/stress-free. While she strives to place you with the best vendors, she keeps budget and personal preferences in mind. Parris is fun, thoughtful, full of knowledge, and easily one of the best at what she does. I can't say enough how thankful we are to have had her as our planner and I recommend to everyone to book her asap!

I began my events journey in 2013 as a Venue Manager and Sales Rep at The Brawley Estate, where I fell in love with the magic of celebrations. After years of experience, I launched my own business focused on creating unforgettable events with a personal touch. By 2018, my rental inventory included hundreds of curated pieces. In 2020, I expanded my skills as Banquet Manager at The 658 Center. Since January 2023, I’ve run my business full time—and I don’t call it work, because I genuinely love what I get to do almost every weekend.

From the very first meeting with Paula, my husband and I felt at ease knowing our wedding day was in capable hands. Paula's communication was outstanding - she was always responsive to our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, Paula took care of every last detail, from the beautiful decor to full coordination of the event. The floral arrangements she sourced were even more stunning than we had imagined. Paula supported us from beginning to end, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. We are so grateful to Paula and her team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Our perfected planning process means your wedding day requires just one thing from you: showing up. Why 3 months? This is when experienced planning prevents last-minute chaos, and you can hand off the stress right when timelines, vendors, and logistics matter most.

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.

Brittany at Heriloom Design & Company is unmatched. She organized, understands the vision, has brilliant advice, logistical skills and a complete understanding of the wedding scene. But even more importantly, she is so fun to do business with. Not only did we trust her full heartedly, she also made us feel like true friends. The phone calls and in-person meetings we had were full of laughs and were genuinely a great time — it completely enhanced the whole wedding process. I was afraid we were throwing challenges her way with our big, nontraditional ideas (we wanted to do a mural, to bring in an installation, and more), but she matched our energy and made our dreams even bigger and better. She is your calm in the storm of wedding planning and an absolute light! She is smart, creative, incredibly organized, and efficient. She took care of EVERYTHING the day of the wedding so we could fully enjoy ourselves. We TRULY could not have done our wedding day without her. She is the absolute best. While I think and believe my marriage will last a lifetime and I won’t need to plan another wedding, I hope Brittany and my paths cross again in the future. She’s an outstanding wedding planner, visionary, and person. We LOVE her!!

My name is Makenzie, a North Carolina native and UNC–Chapel Hill graduate with a love for creativity, organization, and meaningful moments. When I’m not researching vendors, breaking down budgets, or perfecting timelines, you can usually find me hiking, crafting, or spending time with my mini-me’s. Wedding planning felt like a natural calling once I realized I could combine my love for celebrations with my knack for lists, spreadsheets, and problem-solving. I approach each couple like a trusted friend, creating a calm, supportive planning experience so you can truly enjoy your engagement and wedding day.

We had an amazing experience with Carolina Event Masters. We had Kenzie as our coordinator as well as two amazing assistants. We had a 7-month engagement and got married December 20, 2025 for a wedding in Henderson, NC with about 100 people in attendance. We found CEM through a NC brides Facebook page when we posted looking for day-of coordinators. CEM had several options for what level of support we needed and we went with the middle option - it comprised, in brief, day-of coordination and running the rehearsal, assistance finding a few vendors, and several planning meetings. The level of service we received was what I'd expect from a planner more than a coordinator. CEM wasn't there to show up the day-of and motion to the piano to start playing. They coordinated in advance every moment of the day to make sure it went smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Not only did they get the contact info of all the vendors for emergencies, but they confirmed every policy and communicated with them in advance to make sure they knew what to expect. They toured the church and reception venue to make sure they were familiar with the spaces. Not only did they helped with what we asked about, but they asked questions to help us avoid making last-minute decisions or missing things that were important to us that we hadn't thought about. For ex., they asked about what we wanted to happen with the flowers after the reception. They also gave us advice based on their experience. For ex., recommending we list the table assignments by last name. The rehearsal was very professional and pleasant - they were very prompt and made sure to go through everything thoroughly. The day of the wedding they split up between church/reception venue. EVERYTHING was either on-time or early all day. They went above and beyond to help set up the reception - something we definitely didn't expect from a coordinator. Our reception venue had staff that set the tables etc., and we had a florist, but CEM reviewed everything, made sure the placecards/kids bags/high chiars were in the right place down to the chair, etc. They also were familiar with the type of photobooth we rented and they set it up entirely for us. All this set up and more was just way beyond what we expected and extremely helpful. We could tell they were invested in making everything beautiful and perfect. Sarah also took several beautiful photos for us - a complete surprise and very special treat. One of our favorite photos from the night was one she took of our first dance. This also gave us a sneak peak into what the reception looked like before anyone had arrived! (All attached photos are from her). We had an issue with our seating chart and they saved the day - long story short it was going to be delivered AFTER the wedding and we thought we were out of luck. I mentioned the issue to Kenzie and when I arrived from the church after the ceremony I saw the seating chart in the doorway before our entry! She had ordered it, picked it up, and set it up for us. I don't know how she did it, but she did, and it was so thoughtful and touching that she would put in that extra effort on top of everything they had on their plates. I could go on and on but I hope this reflects just some of what CEM did for our wedding and how thrilled we were with them. They are a lovely group of people. If we HAD to cut any cost or change any vendor, they would be last on the list. It was perfect.
