So many changes had to be made multiple times, and I am amazed by how smoothly things ran anyways on my wedding day. Tara's bubbly and upbeat personality was also such a help to me during an incredibly stressful time of changes. My parents also were absolutely thrilled with her and all of the planner's help. In addition, she did a great job pulling things together that I left very open ended (I frequently said things like, can we just make it like, nice, and wedding ish? And they came out fabulous!) In the end our Wedding was beautiful and memorable in a good way despite world circumstances. Thanks again to Premier Party Planners!

She gave her input on different ideas and worked within our budget. My Husband and I didn't stress about anything. I felt like the attention she gave me that I was the only bride she was dealing with. She kept me updated with her conversations with other vendors. She was extremely efficient with responding to my questions. and emails. Looking back, I do not know how people plan weddings without a professional planner. I am so happy Nicole planned my reception, and she will be used again. Obviously, not for another wedding of mine, but future showers and parties.

Sally is wonderful! Made our wedding planning process organized and followed up with us when we…read morefell behind things on our to do list. The best part about hiring Sally was not having to worry or communicate with any vendors on the day of the wedding. She did such a great job organizing everything and keeping people on the timeline that our ceremony was actually ready to go a few minutes early. We as a couple felt so supported and couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner.

Alison was the perfect officiant for our wedding this fall at the Durham Museum of Life and…read moreScience. My wife and I interviewed a couple of other officiants, but felt an immediate connection to Alison. She was very thoughtful, and considerate, but never stiff or overly formal. Funny, but not reaching for any laughs or reducing the ritual of our ceremony. And also so organized and experienced in leading the type of intimate ceremony we were looking for! After assigning us questionnaires to fill out with our backstories, Alison weaved together a beautiful, elegant, heart-felt script that both brought the two of us to tears and forced the corners of our mouths up into grins. Several of our guests asked how long we had known Alison, and were shocked we only found her online. I truly hope this review inspires some other lucky couple to pick Alison for their wedding!

Alison got back to us within a day, we did our zoom intro and got down to business. She was extremely receptive to our wants and needs and tailored a ceremony that was perfect for us. Communication leading up to the wedding day was stellar and the process couldnt have been any easier. On the day of she jumped right in, asked all the right questions and helped me wrangle our guests and kept everything on track. She made sure we had the best ceremony for us and left me feeling stress free and very well taken care of. Afterwards she took care of our marriage license so that we could get packed up and fly out for our honeymoon. I couldnt have asked for anything more for our big day. Working with Alison for your ceremony would be one of your best choices in what can be an overwhleming process.

I made a small box and my friend made a larger one. It was great being able to choose everything from the project itself to the wood stain to the paint color(s). My box is now displayed proudly in my home, and there's lots of other projects I'd love to make whenever I get a chance to go back! I feel like these folks really have this down to a science. We walked in and our boards were waiting for us. We sanded them and stained them. Then Michelle helped us putting our pre-made stencils onto the wood, and we primed and painted. Very simple, yet so brilliant because I don't have to deal with paint and sawdust in my home. :)

Addie and Michael are worth their weight in gold…read more We were new to Raleigh while planning our wedding and Addie was full of the information we were looking for. Addie knows every single person, vendor, and reputation in the NC wedding world. She will tell you why they will and why they won't work for you- and give you honest direction. She is reputable and people know her name for the right reasons. We considered it insurance in our investment when we realized that every vendor we contacted after her had nothing but good things to say. Networking really matters and there were more than a handful of times where working with Addie significantly benefitted us when it came to business doings with other vendors. Addie is assertive, personable, likable, directive, organized, and timely. She excels as a wedding planner. Her problem-solving skills are untouched. She shrinks everything to size and comes up with solutions and backup plans on the spot. I can't imagine what it would take to frazzle her- she is so confident and well versed in what she does. And worth adding: Addie and Michael are truly fun to be around. If you can't tell where this is going- it's a 10/10, would use again in a heartbeat, best vendor we booked kind of review. Dogwood delivers exactly as contracted and promised. Addie and Michael are well worth your investment. You will be extremely satisfied.
