Kelsey King

Destination bride from Florida here! I was naive to think I would be able to plan my wedding on my own from afar and knowing close to nothing about the area. From our first consultation phone call, Nikki was warm, welcoming, reassuring, and just what I needed to be able to take a breath and relax! I quickly knew that she would be the perfect woman to help me plan my dream day! We started planning in the midst of the busiest wedding season ever and Nikki and her team was always quick to respond and handled me with grace as I was changing my mind about vendors, dates, etc! Nikki is more than an event planner -she is also a cheerleader, therapist, advocate, and friend! We got married in June 2022 and our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and more than I ever dreamed it would be! If anything went wrong... we absolutely had no idea about it. She took my vision and made it a reality down to the small details I never even had to think of because she already had it handled. We had a billing issue with our venue weeks after the wedding was said and done, and Nikki even helped me get the issue sorted out. I get the feeling she truly wants the best for each and every one of her Bride's and that's what sets her apart. THANK YOU CAROLINA LOVE EVENTS!!

Our day would not have been as perfect without Nikki and her team, I cannot recommend Carolina Love Events enough! As a Type A / organized bride I thought I could do it on my own and I was wrong. I reached out to Nikki early on and that was easily one of the best decisions I made. She gave us guidance when we needed it, grace when I undoubtably changed my mind and was always a phone call or email away. On the wedding day it rained and I had absolutely no worries because Nikki so seamlessly handled every detail. I had family asking me questions on the morning of the wedding and to have the confidence to say "I'm not sure but I know Nikki has it handled" was the most reassuring feeling ever. I did not have to worry about a thing and enjoyed every second of my day. Her and her team flawlessly executed my dream vision of florals and greenery throughout Highland. Walking into our venue and seeing the greenery and candles on the tables, hanging greenery from the ceiling, lanterns and flowers was so magical. Nikki helped make our day absolutely perfect and we will forever cherish our day!

Nikki did an AMAZING job with wedding planning, decor and florals. She was so responsive and attentive to what we wanted and my wedding was a dream come true!! We had a small, intimate wedding that was beyond beautiful!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Autumn Grangruth

The Carolina Events team exceeded our expectations! Nikki made planning a destination wedding for us seamless. She laid out the BEST vendors for us to choose from and helped us make the best decisions for our big day. The day of our wedding, Nikki and her assistant were given what we had for decor and they made it more than we could have imagined! We did not realize how much time we didn’t have and Nikki took care of EVERYTHING. She was there for us at every transition throughout the day and made us feel calm and prepared for each part of our ceremony/reception. She stayed with us until the end to take care of anything that came up (lots of popped bustle loops). She made our wedding an absolute dream and we are so appreciative!

Great Wedding Planner Thank you Nikki for everything and making our daughter's dream come true! You define as Great Wedding Planner People trust their dreams to Nikki and make them into reality...dream come true!

Jessica Malingowski

Hiring Carolina Love Events was the best decision we could've made when we started planning our wedding. We live in Durham, NC and got married in Asheville, NC, so we knew we needed someone local who could recommend vendors and help us coordinate the logistics with the venue. Working with Nikki was simply the best! She handled everything from vendor recommendations to scheduling meal tastings to day-of logistics and setup. Because of Nikki, our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we, as well as our family, could enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. I cannot recommend Nikki & Team enough for your event planning needs!

Michela Vaccaro

Nikki and her team were the absolute sweetest! Nikki is incredibly organized, responsive, and patient and our wedding was the best night of our lives! I originally only wanted a month-of planner, but I am so glad that we chose full-service. Life threw many curveballs our way this past year, and without Nikki, we would have never been able to plan such a memorable and special night. Thank you for making my llama/crowd surfing/foodie dreams happen, and for being there for both Nick and I throughout the entire process. You're the best! <3

Julissa Encinosa

I got married in October 2022 in Asheville at the Homewood and hired Carolina Love Events to help coordinate the wedding. My husband and I are living in Florida so I really didn’t know what to expect planning a long distance wedding. I would have been lost without Nikki’s advice and recommendations throughout the whole process. She was always available, quick to respond and helped us feel confident and on track. Nikki was so helpful at the rehearsal and Kristen joined in for the day of coordinating she was also so friendly and helpful. We loved them!

Shane Brinson

Nikki was the glue that put our wedding together! We could not have hired a better wedding planner for our big day. She helped us from square one and guided us to the very end. She was a huge help and could not have done it without her! The whole process seemed so simple with her help. We highly recommend her!

Beth Drimalla

We hired Nikki to help with planning about two months before the wedding - it was the best decision we made! We have been to Asheville many times, but not being local, we relied on Nikki for vendor suggestions, local knowledge and coordinating directly with our venue. Not only did she help keep me sane (and decrease the number of sleepless nights) during the planning process, but she made the day-of go off without a hitch. She even gathered up our belongings, including dinner, cupcakes and ice cream sandwich leftovers, at the end of the night. We also used Nikki for our flowers - we were in awe when we stepped into the venue. She transformed the brewery into a beautiful space for both the ceremony and reception. Nikki made our wedding even more beautiful and perfect than we could've imagined.

Alison Lawless

Nikki and Pankti are a dream wedding planner team! Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, and considerate of their couples, their families/friends, and wedding vendors! As an on-site beauty company owner, my team and I work with Carolina Love Events frequently and see firsthand how hard Nikki and Pankti work to ensure wedding days happen flawlessly. Definitely don't hesitate in booking this fantastic wedding planner company!

Ariel Jahn

Nikki and the team at Carolina Love Events were fabulous! Our special day turned out better than we could have expected. Many of our guests were stunned that such a beautiful event could have been planned from across the country! Without Nikki, It would not have been so picture perfect. We used the day of coordination package as I was very involved in the planning process but I would imagine the full package is stunning too! We also rented the vintage furniture and our guests loved them! My only regret is I forgot to get a picture on them! I highly recommend going with Nikki and Carolina Love Events!

Making It Creative

We couldn't have asked for better wedding planner for our Asheville wedding! When starting to plan our big day, we didn't think we needed a planner. But as we got closer to the date, we quickly realized how important hiring a knowledgeable planner was, especially because we were planning a destination wedding and didn't know the city that well. Nikki and her team at Carolina Love Events are incredibly knowledgeable about wedding vendors in Asheville and all things related to getting married in North Carolina. She asked all the right questions—things we didn't even know we needed to think about. She pays attention to the details and is very organized, while also being laid back and personable. Having a planner that we knew we could rely on and trust helped us stay more relaxed because we knew Nikki had our back! We highly recommend Carolina Love Events for your Asheville wedding.

Lilly VanDeMark

Nikki at Carolina Love Events did an amazing job helping us plan and execute our wedding. She took all of the stress and frustration out of the process and replaced it with fun, ease, and creativity. She gave us great vendor recommendations. From our first planning call to the day-of, she was responsive, flexible, and organized. We really felt that she understood our vision and made sure that it was executed flawlessly.

Laine Simpson

My husband and I were recently married at Homewood after a long COVID delay. Nikki and her team at Carolina Love Events were with us for nearly 2 years helping us coordinate all of the details for our wedding, they were kind, helpful and made our day so seamless and perfect. Nikki and her team are just fantastic!

Shreya

Nikki was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the planning process for our wedding stress-free. My husband and I are planners, but Nikki was on her A-game every time we chatted. She had all the little details we never thought about and it made the wedding day go through smoothly. I want to give a special shout-out to Christy who was on-site during our wedding and did anything and everything to make our wedding perfect. We had a mini-cake situation and she handled it so easily, I didn't even have to worry about it. If I asked for a change in the timeline for our reception, she rolled right with it. She was absolutely fantastic. We had Nikki as our florist as well and she did amazing! She worked with our budget and still got us everything we asked for in terms of decorations. The flowers were gorgeous and we got so many compliments on how they pop out in our pictures! Would highly recommend Carolina Love Events for wedding planning and florist needs!

Mallory_T

I recently worked with Nikki to plan our wedding in Asheville, NC. Choosing her as our wedding planner was the best decision that we made! She did an incredible job handling all the vendor relations, the tight schedules, and really listening to us to ensure the wedding style and design reflected us and our tastes. From Day 1 of planning to the send off at our reception, she was there every step of the way taking care of all the details and making wedding planning FUN instead of stressful. She was truly a joy to work with: always positive, optimistic and on-track. I cannot recommend her or her company enough!

Sabrina Poms

Hiring Nikki Sciurba was the first thing we did when we started wedding planning, after booking a venue, and it was by far the best decision we made. Planning a wedding during COVID was a very particular kind of stress and we seriously could not have handled it all without her. Nikki gave us consistent communication, vendor recommendations, help making many different decisions, solutions to problems, and a sense of calm that made us feel like it was all possible. On the wedding day, we referred everyone to her which made us feel like we could relax. She made everything run smoothly and kept everyone on schedule. If you're not sure whether or not you want/need a day of coordinator, stop thinking about it and hire Nikki!! She's worth every penny.

Destiney Freeman

Amazing! The coordinator went above and beyond for us. They made sure that everything was taken care of and were extremely polite. We felt extremely good about our wedding throughout the entire process and are so grateful we chose Carolina Love Events! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a coordinator.

Frannie Miller

Nikki Sciurba is amazing. Her Artistic vision, attention to detail and kind spirit combine to make her the perfect wedding planner and floral designer. My daughter's wedding was magical, and I could relax and enjoy it because I knew that Nikki was taking care of everything. She is truly a joy to work with- professional and knowledgeable. Her service is an excellent value. She and her team are the BEST.

Hannah Sizemore

Nikki and her team were hands down the best decision we made and money we spent for our wedding. Nikki helped us plan our wedding for a year and a half and was with us every step of the way. Perhaps the best testimony I can give is that my husband nor I stressed at all on our wedding day. We both knew that Nikki and her team had the entire day under control and we were able to enjoy every second of our wedding. I cannot day enough good things about Carolina Love Events!

Karla King

My son and his fiancee got married very recently, and I can't say enough good things about working with Nikki from Carolina Love Events! I honestly wasn't sure whether we needed her at first, but now I can't imagine having gotten through the wedding weekend without her. She is the perfect mix of friendliness and professionalism. She was always quick to answer questions, and knew all the right questions to ask us, too. Nikki kept us organized throughout all the planning. And she did a beautiful job getting everything set up for the big day. But most importantly, everyone (especially the bride and groom) had a blast! Thanks to Nikki, the bride's mom and I just got to relax and enjoy the special time with family and friends.

I am a wedding videographer and I worked with Nikki this past fall at the Ridge. Everything run perfectly, great communication and would highly recommend!! -Molly

Molly Langley

Everyone in my wedding party including Joe and I were so impressed with Nikki and all the staff at Carolina Love Events. She was always available, often emailing me and keeping me updated. She made great recommendations for vendors, rehearsal dinners, brunches, and nail places! Being out of town, that helped a ton! During the wedding planning, I found myself needing to know what was happening at all times, and Nikki met my frenzy with calm and professionalism, and everything was perfect. The day of, knowing that I didn't have to think about what was coming next was wonderful. She handled all details perfectly! And even the unforeseen little things like dress smudges and fire trucks - she remained calm and always wore a smile. I am so grateful for her and her team, and highly recommend! It's such a packed day, and Nikki made it smooth so we could focus on getting married!

Caren Shorthouse

We got married in May of this year and had the best time working with Nikki and Pankti from Carolina Love Events! Nikki is an obvious seasoned professional, and really helped us create the wedding of our dreams. We had her for Day of Coordination, but she went above and beyond to make sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Our wedding was perfect, and she had the best vision to have our dance floor under the stars, which was the talk of the whole wedding. Cannot recommend enough, the only thing I would do differently is have her plan the whole thing! Thank you so much Nikki and Pankti- ya'll were such a big part of the day's success.

Atlanta Moritz

It's been three months since my wedding day, and in hindsight, I am even more sure now than I was then that hiring Nikki was the best hiring decision I made throughout the whole process. She's super chill personally and extremely easy to get along with. She's also incredibly organized - working with her was essentially like taking a multiple choice test (while working without her would have been like having to take an essay-answer test). She researched and brought me vendor options/decor options/etc. that fit me and my then-fiance/now-husband, and we picked best fit, or she would go back to the drawing board, if necessary. Day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about one single detail. Nikki and Pankti took care of everything (including making sure the marriage license was signed and sent so that we are actually legally married). There are so many wonderful things I could say about Nikki and how easy she made this process. We knew as soon as we spoke with her (and we spoke with a few before her), that she was the wedding planner for us, and I would gladly send her to all of my closest friends and family who needed planning services for an event.

Stacey Vernon

I cannot sing Nikki's praises enough. Our wedding would not have been such an amazing experience without her. She had great recommendations for vendors that fit really well with our vision, budget, and personalities. At every stage of the planning process, she was thorough, responsive, and communicated with a composure that just made things feel easier. On the wedding day, she had every detail taken care of, and kept things running smoothly so that we could stay focused on enjoying the day. Even when it started to rain as soon as the ceremony started, Nikki was ready with umbrellas for our guests. We're so grateful for her expertise, and can't recommend her enough! Thank you Nikki!

Todd R

Coming from 4 hours away AND planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic isn't easy. Nikki took fantastic care of my daughter's every need and executed flawlessly on the plan for her big day. She also did a fantastic job on the flowers, and made sure that the CFO of the wedding (me, aka the dad) got invoices in a timely manner and I was never surprised with unexpected costs or timings on payments. Highly recommended! THANKS!!!

Emily Nowak

We had a wonderful experience working with Nikki and her team at Carolina Love Events! She was very well organized, asked appropriate questions for setting up our wedding day timeline, supported our decisions, and she was very timely with her email responses to my many questions. I would, hands down, highly recommend her for your wedding, she really knows what she is doing and is so good at it!

Kate Gibson

Our wedding was originally scheduled for March, but we unfortunately had to cancel due to COVID with only a week’s notice. Even though we only hired Nikki as our day of coordinator, she went above and beyond to help us reschedule with all of our vendors for our new wedding date in December. I can only imagine how stressful and busy 2020 has been for her and the rest of the wedding industry, but she was always available to help with questions or for a phone call. Our wedding day went perfectly, and she made sure everything was taken care of. We also used Carolina Love Events for our florals, and they were absolutely beautiful. We can’t recommend Carolina Love Events and Nikki enough!

Kailey Miller

Nikki and her staff were AMAZING to work with and we 100% could not have planned our wedding or rehearsal dinner without her! She was always quick to respond to emails and text, and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. Her flower arrangements and decor ideas made for a beautiful outdoor wedding and indoor rehearsal dinner that was exactly what we wanted. Loved how easy she was to work with and I know all of the other vendors from that weekend would agree!

Jake Sadie

Carolina Love Events took care of us from start to finish for our big day, and we couldn't be happier with the support they provided. We opted for the full wedding planning package and found it to be an excellent value. Nikki helped keep us on track and was super patient with all of our questions. Her experience and advice really helped relieve a lot of our stress about planning. She made herself available for calls at odd hours due to our west coast vs east coast timezone difference, and that really helped us out. We absolutely recommend any couple considering getting a wedding planner to work with Nikki and Carolina Love Events.

Leigha Chan

Nikki was a delight to work with throughout our wedding planning process. She responded very quickly to all of our questions and gives great detail on responses to ensure the wedding day is a huge success. Our wedding day went very smoothly thanks to Nikki running the ship behind the scenes. We would highly recommend Nikki as a wedding day of coordinator and appreciate all her hard work to make our day perfect!

Kristin Jarmin

We were absolutley obsessed with Nikki and her team! They rocked it! Nikki was always on top of things, she was thoughtful, she listened, she did her job well! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! Our day was perfect thanks to Carolina Love Events!

Ashton Wolfe

Nikki and her team were fantastic! As a "COVID bride" there were a lot of logistical nightmares (at least that is how it felt) in scheduling and rescheduling our wedding. Nikki handled everything beautifully - we would not have been able to do it without her. I could not recommend this company enough; the professionalism, attention to detail and responsiveness was exceptional.

Julie Fleet

Nikki did a fabulous job for us. We wanted a small destination wedding that represented us and our new life together. She made it easy to handle things from long distance. We are both people that like to plan and she was patient with our eagerness to start planning earlier than was probably necessary. We had planned an outdoor ceremony with no backup plan but mother nature decided otherwise. Nikki provided options that allowed us to decide up to the morning of the wedding, in hopes the rain might hold off. She was easy to work with and attentive during our few days in Asheville. We truly enjoyed working with her.

Kelsey Martin

We used Carolina Love Events for our Day of Coordinator and my only regret is not booking them for the full or partial wedding planning! Nikki and Pankti were both very responsive to emails, texts, or calls and answered ALL of my questions in detail. My family also mentioned how sweet and helpful they both were to them throughout our wedding as well.

Mary Tate

Nikki and her team were AMAZING! Due to covid, I was lucky enough to work with nikki over a span of over 2 years due to having to move my date. She made every reschedule seamless, helped navigate all the little details and got stern with vendors that were not cooperating in the way we needed them to (haha!). While i'm originally from NC, living in NYC could leave planning feel a little distant -- this was never the case with the Carolina Love team. 5 stars and don't look anywhere else!

Abby Nelson

Carolina Love Events (Nikki) was a dream to work with throughout the planning leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day itself. I decided to book Carolina Love Events for Wedding Day Planning only, however Nikki was always there to answer emails, talk over the phone and help address any and all questions I had in the year and months leading up to the big day. I believe that my wedding day went perfectly. Everything was exactly how I dreamed it would be and I did not have to worry about a thing. I know that this is due to the professionalism of Carolina Love Events as well as their extreme attention to detail. I cannot sing enough praise about this business and what a wonderful experience I had with them.

Ashley Griffin

Nikki was incredible! She did a fabulous job helping us with our wedding at Homewood in Asheville and everything turned out beautiful. She even helped us with a last minute flower crisis due to an unexpected snow storm, personally delivering our bouquets to us and ensuring all the flowers made it in time for the wedding! She is very responsive, helpful, and an incredible value. She made the whole process very easy and helped us bring our vision to life. Thank you Nikki!

Chelsey Turley

Nikki was an absolute dream to work with! We were married in Asheville last June (destination wedding for us). We hired Nikki to be our day of coordinator through our venue, Homewood. Nikki was SO MUCH MORE than a day of coordinator. Nikki truly went above and beyond and was always available to me via text/email. Not being local presented its challenges during the wedding planning process so Nikki was my go-to girl for all questions. Although her services technically only included day of services, she never had a problem answering my questions leading up to the big day and there were a lot. Nikki knows weddings and how to break things down and solve (seemingly) big problems effortlessly, she gave me SO MUCH PIECE OF MIND. When the big day came, she went out of her way and took on tasks that she hadn't even signed up for to make our day perfect. On top of all that, she is an awesome person & I can't wait to get back to Asheville and share a drink with her and her hubby (our Homewood bartender & equally amazing). Nikki's services are worth every single penny (and probably way more). THANK YOU NIKKI! :)

venetia zachritz

Carolina Love Events, Nikki Leonard and The Homewood provided the perfect wedding reception for my daughter. The Homewood is a beautiful building inside and out, Nikki is an awesome organizer and the entire event was flawless. The location is gorgeous, centrally located with plenty of off-street parking. Nikki is patient, knowledgeable and very organized. Couldn't have had such a wonderful time without the help of Nikki.

Terran Ward

I am a local makeup artist in Asheville and have worked with Carolina Love Events on multiple occasions. The Wedding Planner Nikki & Pankti always make communication with brides super easy and fast. Coordinating multiple dates and rescheduled weddings due to COVID-19 has been rough on the wedding industry but working with Carolina Love Events has made everything much more smooth. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing an event planner or wedding coordinator in the WNC area.

Jenna W

I credit the overwhelming sense of ease I felt on our wedding day to Nikki and her team. I can not express my gratitude enough for her attention to detail, her gentleness and her calm. We met briefly during my first Homewood visit, and exchanged a handful of check-in emails, but really started connecting regularly 4-6 weeks before our big day. She connected with all of our vendors, and made sure every moment was going to be just perfect. Which it was! From beginning to end, the whole experience was out of this world. I felt so calm the whole day as did my husband, family and guests! Truly priceless. Also, her furniture and decor rentals really completed our space and the guests loved taking photos of the vintage settees! Thank you infinitely, Nikki!

Michael Delaney

Nikki was so amazing! Her and her team were worth their weight in gold, hands down the best decision we made. So incredibly helpful, both the day of and leading up to the wedding. We 100% recommend her!

Jennifer

We had two venues for our wedding between ceremony and reception, so a lot of logistics involved. Nikki and the Carolina Love Events team made the day seamless! They not only handled all the floral at both locations, but also every small detail so that we were able to enjoy every moment of our day. We couldn't have done it without them!

Sean Szitas

Vendor Review: I love love love working with Carolina Love Events! As a photographer they make my job and my day a thousand times easier with their professionalism, creativity and precision. I am usually one step a head of the couple and other vendors in terms of timeline but Carolina Love Events seems to always be one step ahead of ME which says a lot! They also take into consideration so many little details when compiling your timeline, such as sunset time, which helps me as a photographer have ample time for photos pre and post ceremony. Not to mention I’ve seen them transform venues into magical landscapes that always takes your breath away. Hiring them for your wedding / event planning , florals, decoration ensures that your day will be stress free, flawless and oh so magical! They are caring, kind, positive people that sincerely care about your needs, your wedding and making sure your dream becomes reality 💕✨ a true staple in the 828 wedding industry

Allison Campbell

I had my perfect wedding thanks to Nikki. She took care of all the day-of details, down to caring for my mother's purse. Her recommendations during planning were invaluable. I wish she could organize the rest of my life! Also, the venue is perfect for a classy and cozy mountain/ winter wedding.

Elizabeth Steward

Nikki and team were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout our wedding planning journey and on our wedding day! We were so grateful for Nikki’s guidance and eagerness to help with each and every detail.

Eric Shiflett

Carolina Love really took care of us for our wedding. They started with us just before the pandemic and Pankti was nothing short of awesome from start to finish. She was incredibly organized, got us the answers we needed from vendors promptly, and helped us navigate the ever-changing restrictions from the state and city.

Michael Coyle

Nikki was a very calming and focused presence the day of our wedding. From planning to the day of the event, and beyomd, my wife and I found the location and event management top notch!

Hrisanthi Kroi

Let's be honest planning a wedding is hard but Carolina Love Events makes it so easy. They are on the ball from day one and there to protect you. From picking out florists to work with to the place cards, they know what they're doing. I recommend using them 100%!

Alayne Bowman

I loved worked with Nikki! She is so on top of it, really understood our vision, and made something so beautiful and fun. Thank you!!

Christina Cagle

Nikki and the team are absolutely incredible. They were very attentive to any need or request I had, and I felt comfortable enough to relax and put my entire wedding day in their hands.

Katie King

Nikki was so calm and organized and easy to work with. She made our big day a relaxing one for us!
