Makenzie

Owner, Lead Planner

I am a North Carolina native and proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’ve always been drawn to both creativity and organization, whether that’s hiking local trails, crafting something by hand, or building detailed spreadsheets just for fun. When I’m not researching vendors, breaking down budgets, or refining timelines, you’ll most likely find me spending time with my mini-me’s, soaking up the moments that matter most.

Wedding planning felt like a natural calling when I realized I could blend my love for meaningful celebrations with my knack for list-building, problem-solving, and thoughtful coordination. I approach every couple like a trusted friend, someone who’s in your corner, keeping you calm, organized, and confident every step of the way. My goal is to create a planning experience that feels supportive and stress-free, so you can stay present, enjoy the process, and fully soak in your wedding day knowing every detail has been handled with care.

So, who are we?

Sarah

Lead Planner

As a Lead Planner with Carolina Event Masters, I specialize in creating beautifully organized, stress-free weddings across North Carolina. I’m a creative at heart, a devoted wife and mother, and someone who truly thrives on calming the chaos so my couples can fully enjoy their engagement and wedding day.

With a Type A personality and years of hands-on wedding planning experience, I bring structure, clear communication, and thoughtful organization to every event. From timelines and logistics to vendor coordination and day-of execution, my goal is always the same: to provide a seamless, elevated planning experience that allows couples to feel confident, supported, and present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

I’ve had the privilege of assisting Kenzie since Carolina Event Masters’ very first solo wedding, and I’ve loved watching the company grow while helping bring countless wedding visions to life. Being part of such intimate, joy-filled moments never gets old, and I’m deeply honored to walk alongside our couples from planning to “I do.”

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full-scale wedding weekend, I’m passionate about delivering a well-organized, beautifully executed North Carolina wedding that reflects your love story—without the stress.
