"Did we ever make the right decision in choosing Carlee for our Day of Coordinator. Not only is she organized, professional and knowledgeable, but she is a really wonderful person. It really showed that she wanted our day to go off without a hitch and be the most memorable party of our lives, which it was! As soon as I met her I felt a lot of my wedding-stress drain away, as a high-strung bride this was invaluable. I knew our wedding was in good hands. One thing that really shone through was her passion for her job and working with her bride and groom to make sure all their expectations were met. We had multiple attendees comment on the how fun, smooth and glamorous our wedding was, all this I attribute to Carlee. Thank you so much!" - Dana & Malcolm, Vancouver BC

​"We were incredibly lucky to have Carlee as our "Day Of Coordinator" for our Whistler wedding - she is so fabulous!  She goes above and beyond the one day and was there with us every step of the way.  We chatted when we first booked the venue and it was a quick and easy connection.  Carlee welcomed all emails throughout the planning process, and was timely and thorough with her responses.  She met us for a venue walk-through and had so much to contribute to the meeting with both the facility and decor coordinators.  She anticipated all of our needs and questions that might need answering, and was able to answer them all.  We hired her for additional time to do a run-through of our rehearsal.  Being a teacher, I so appreciated her organization and ability to lead a large group of excited wedding party participants with such calm and finesse.  Carlee arrived on site first thing the day of the wedding and worked her magic with all the vendors - she was on top of everything!  She checked in on us throughout the day.  It was fun to hear how things were coming together and to feel her enthusiasm.  Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Carlee's attention to detail and wedding coordination superpowers.  So many people remarked on our incredible wedding planner - how she seemed to be everywhere, yet invisible at the same time.  The day surpassed our expectations - and so did Carlee.  Thank you so much Carlee for everything!" - Lori & Mike, North Vancouver BC

"I was quite hesitant about booking a wedding planner before I met Carlee due to my Type A personality and no ability to give up control of the million ideas I had. Not only did Carlee make me feel like I could trust her to take the reins on the first meeting, she was crucial in helping me make final decisions that I could not seem to come to a decision on!  Leading up to the date, Carlee sent so many reassuring messages letting me know I could relax and everything was under control. The day of, Carlee was always beside me when I needed her, and when I was spending precious moments with my family she was quietly working behind the scenes lining up the next activity. Carlee dealt with our multiple locations with ease, asking ’spectators’ to step aside during our ceremony in the park, extending our cocktail hour on the patio because we were having the best time, and rearranging a seating chart at our reception at the last minute request of my parents. Carlee also set out no expectations or judgements for any plans we had for the day, which in Whistler, is hard to find. Carlee is a true down to earth gem that is a rare find, and an essential part of any brides day." – Katelyn & Cam, Kelowna BC

​"The thought of planning a destination wedding from half-way across the globe was a daunting project… until we met Carlee! From our initial Skype meeting with her, until the very last minute of our wedding weekend… she was an absolute JOY to work with. Carlee was our full-service wedding planner, and we brought her on board 10 months prior to the big day. She made our long-distance relationship extremely manageable by catering to our timezone, and hand-holding us throughout each planning stage. Not only is she an industry expert with years of project management experience, she is the most warm, genuine, and vibrant person! She is extremely organised, detail-oriented, dedicated, and diligent… all of the qualities one wishes in an ideal wedding planner. Rather than a working-relationship, we felt as though we had a friend that we could count on, to ensure that our wedding was seamless, as well as aligned to our vision and values. Given that the majority of our guests were coming from Japan with very high expectations around service, she didn’t have an easy task… but the end result was a magical, MAGICAL wedding weekend! All of our guests complimented on how stunning and enjoyable our wedding was, and how lovely Carlee was in making it happen! We will forever be grateful to Carlee for making our dream wedding a reality — thank you so much for your hard work and dedication, Carlee! She is THE ideal wedding planner for brides-to-be!" - Miya & Mike, Hong Kong

“Carlee was awesome – she was consistently calm, kind, reassuring, and efficient. We didn’t meet prior to choosing her to support us with day-of coordination, but a couple phone calls had me so confident that she’d be able to execute our vision! It was so reassuring to have Carlee run through the rental contracts and the way the day would play out in advance. She had a couple quick tips on items to add to our rental reservation that I totally didn’t even consider! She kindly and unexpectedly even met us at the venue the day before to go over the space and upcoming day. Come wedding day, Carlee and her team were fabulous. Carlee was calm, diligent, and tried to keep me out of it! I didn’t hear of any issues throughout the day and everything ran exactly as I’d envisioned. She creatively decorated with lights, candles, and flowers, with little guidance. She repurposed florals and thought of little things – like illuminating some of the big rocks with fairy lights, which turned out to be beautiful and ultimately removed a big liability! I’m sure she problem solved hiccups along the day, and to us and all our guests, the whole wedding day ran perfectly. I was shocked to see how stunning both the ceremony and reception area looked once I walked down the aisle; the forest had been completely transformed into a magical celebration space! I certainly didn’t have a ‘fairytale’ vision, but with Carlee’s help, our wedding day certainly felt like it.”  – Janet & Ben, Vancouver BC

​“We had the most amazing experience with Carlee from Pocketful productions! We were lucky enough to have her as our day of coordinator for our July 2018 wedding and she was worth her weight in gold! Carlee was so organized and easy to work with and she handled any day of curve-ball (rain!) perfectly. Carlee was easy going, went with the flow and had good ideas to help make our wedding day the best it could be. She coordinated with all our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly day-of and helped everyone stick to the timeline so that the photographer could capture all our big moments. Carlee set up our décor beautifully and when we came to pick up our décor the next day, everything was neatly packed up ready to go. Thanks to Carlee, our wedding day was totally stress free and we were able to enjoy every minute of it! We would definitely recommend using Carlee and Pocketful Productions to all our friends and family.” – Theresa & Jeron, Vancouver BC

"We can't thank Carlee enough for all the hard work and effort she put into making our wedding day so special.  We are from out of town so i knew the wedding planning process would be a bit of a challenge, but from the first conversation I had with Carlee I immediately felt at ease. She is a great organizer and was always quick to respond to any questions I had (and I had a lot!) She gave me amazing suggestions for vendors and from our flowers, to the food to the photographer I couldn’t be happier with our choices and her help, I wouldn’t change a thing. Setting up the day before and day of was a little hard for me to let go and let her take care if things, as I'm a little bit of a control freak!  But it was the best decision I could have made, Carlee allowed us to relax and enjoy the company of our friends and family making the wedding stress free and fun. From setting up our ceremony site to decorating the tent and tables, Carlee's attention to detail is outstanding. She is efficient, gets things done and doesn't waste any time. Carlee helped make our wedding day run so smoothly which allowed us to enjoy every moment. We highly recommend Carlee to any couple planning their wedding." - Karla & Ryan, Spruce Grove, AB

"Choosing Carlee from Pocketful Productions was probably the best decision we made in the entirety of our wedding planning process! We hired her for "day of coordination" services, so we came up with the vision and chose all the vendors ourselves, but she ensured that everything was executed on the day itself. However, she did much more than just the day-of execution: she was always happy to give advice throughout our planning process (from the day we first spoke!), made sure there was nothing we had forgotten, was flexible in the months prior when scheduling the few meetings/phone calls we needed, and made us feel confident going in that she had everything covered and could handle any hiccup that might arise. The peace of mind she gave us was beyond our expectations. Not only did our wedding day go off without a hitch, but Carlee made it seem effortless and was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Pocketful Productions without hesitation! Thank you, Carlee!!" – Janine & Sean, Seattle WA

"I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Carlee! From the first time I contacted her, she was instantly warm, thoughtful, accommodating and inspiring! She was so understanding of my budget limitations and gave me so many wonderful ideas of ways to save money and yet still have the wedding of my dreams. Carlee was so good about following up with me whenever I contacted her and would often reach out to me if she hadn’t heard from me in a few weeks! On the day of my wedding, Carlee worked so quickly and efficiently that I scarcely even noticed her! When we walked into the reception hall, I was blown away with how she had organized and arranged everything and so many people commented on how gorgeous everything was. I have had countless friends and family members comment on what an incredible wedding my husband and I had, and that is all down to Carlee. Thank you so much, Carlee, we love you!!” - Kelly & Tariq, Sechelt BC

“We had a very good vision of what we wanted our wedding day to look like and wanted to pay close attention to the details. We also knew we wanted someone to guide us with vendors in the Pemberton area and someone to make sure the day went smoothly without us having to stress out. Carlee was just a dream to work with. She was professional, knowledgeable and just a joy to be around! From our first meeting we knew we had made the right decision. Throughout the planning she was easy to get a hold of and had opinions when we needed help deciding on something or when we had a problem arise. Then the wedding day came and it was such a breeze! Carlee had setup everything exactly how we imagined and everything was perfect and ran so smoothly. We are lucky to say our wedding day was stress free! We would hire Carlee again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect!” ​- Nicole & Brian, Vancouver BC

"Carlee is absolutely amazing. She did so much for us in just the one day and the Day of Coordination service is completely worth it. Wedding Day you are so busy and already trying to manage the families and wedding party and yourself you definitely to not need to still be organizing and setting up. She handled so many little details for us and made it all come together perfectly, giving us exactly the feeling for the whole day that we wanted. Knowing she was in charge and doing literally everything gave us both peace of mind to relax and really enjoy the entire day with the family and together. Everything was perfect and Carlee really made that happen for us! Would definitely recommend her and the service to anyone considering it!" - ​Quinn & Bennett, Seattle WA / Fort St John BC

“Carlee was an absolute dream to work with.  We used her for our wedding in August and wouldn't change anything.  From the first meeting we knew that we had made the right decision - she was friendly, professional and gave us some advice with certain things.  She even encouraged us and was our source of excitement when we were ready to getting the planning and wedding over with!  Knowing she was there on the day with us made the day that much more enjoyable for us - she checked in with both of us, dealt with anything that happened behind the scenes and also was a source of calm for both my husband and I who were stressed and nervous walking down that aisle to say the least. There are not enough words to describe how appreciative we are for everything she did for us - thank you for making our day so special.” - Jennifer & Chris, Pemberton BC

"We are so incredibly grateful that we connected with Carlee and she said yes to being our wedding planner! Having Carlee there from beginning to end truly made the experience so much easier and my husband and I much happier during the planning process and throughout the chaotic wedding weekend. She totally managed the entire wedding day and rehearsal with grace and style - so that we didn’t even notice she was there but I knew that if I needed her she would take over so I wouldn’t even think twice about it. I was quite skeptical at first to have a wedding planner as I saw that as a cost cutting area. BUT, there is NO way that our wedding would have gone as smoothly as it did without Carlee there. As a bride, I was able to just fully enjoy the day and not worry about a single detail. She’s a wonderful person that is easy and fun to work with, she knows her industry and the local community very well which was extremely helpful for finding vendors, as well as she is professional, reliable and hardworking. What more could you ask for? Thank you Carlee for making our day amazing! We couldn’t have done it without you!" – Mari & Anders, Norway / Vancouver BC

“Carlee was our wedding day-of coordinator for our Whistler wedding mid-July at The Brew Creek Centre. She brought her A-Team with her to set-up, and through the entire day she didn't miss a beat. No detail too small, she followed our vision perfectly, and everything ran so smoothly: from phone calls and e-mails to pass-on our plans and ideas, to the delivery of our surprise Hangover Kits to our guests’ rooms during our evening reception and packing up our décor and belongings to make things easier on us the next morning. On the day of our wedding we had a lot of people that wanted to help get the venue ready for our special day, and Carlee was able to gracefully communicate with all of them putting everyone at ease and allowing our friends and family to take the time to enjoy the day themselves rather than running around; at the same time as making sure that we had everything in place that we had planned for. We can't thank her enough for bringing our vision to life and being so kind and helpful in the process. Additionally, even though we only hired Carlee for "day-of" coordination, she professionally helped us out with a few rough patches during our planning process that we were ever so grateful for. She made us feel so much better and back on track after her help and this really made the difference, especially as we were planning our Whistler wedding from a distance. Having Carlee as our day-of coordinator was truly many blessings, with another one of those blessings being that she knew our vendors very well which really made us feel comfortable and able to let go, for her to run the show on the day. We will always be thankful that we had Carlee there for us on this most important day.” - Gemma & Simon, Vernon BC

"We went into the planning of our wedding thinking that we would not hire a day of coordinator. Around 6 weeks out from our wedding day, we began to realize all the pieces that would need to fall into place to ensure that our big day ran smoothly. After our first phone call with Carlee we knew that we had made a great decision. Carlee asked great questions and gained a strong understanding of what was important to us. She understood what we wanted our venue to look like and also the experience that we wanted for our guests. After phone calls, emails and meetings, Carlee met with us one last time before the wedding. We visited the venue together and with all of our decisions finalized, she went through every detail to ensure that we were comfortable and in case we had any last minute questions. Thanks to Carlee, we did not just have a great wedding day but also the days leading up to the wedding. We were able to enjoy the time with our family and friends who had come from all over the world to celebrate with us. We cannot express how happy we are that Carlee was part of our wedding." – Caitlin & Matt, Vancouver BC

“We used Carlee for the “day of planning” only, but throughout the entire process she was available and stayed well informed to what our vision was. On the day of, I handed over a suitcase full of decor and Carlee used it all to completely transform the room! Her attention to detail made the day so simple and stress free for us. Carlee had a talent for being right there every time I turned around needing her, while also staying out of the spotlight. We were so glad we chose Pocketful Productions for our special day!” - Patricia & Barrett, Euless TX

“My husband and I are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Carlee when dreaming, planning and executing our wedding. Carlee was organized, professional and provided us with honest answers, opinions and insiders advice. On top of Carlee’s professional manner she was also a strong source of calming and kindness. We always felt like our wedding was equally as important to her as it was it us. We can truly say Carlee went above and beyond our understanding of what a day-of-coordinator would help us with. As some of those tougher decisions (financial, décor, etc.) appeared we consistently relied on Carlee’s experience and industry insight to help us through. In particular, we struggled with those small yet important details of décor design. We collected a vast assortment of things and really left most of the set up to Carlee’s professionalism. Her execution when given the loose details on the day of completely surpassed our expectations. Every detail we had requested was fulfilled. Every option we had left to her and her team was done with tasteful elegance that left both of us seriously impressed. We will forever pass her name around as the professional you need to add to your special day. Carlee made us feel relaxed and taken care of in the months, weeks, days, hours and even those last few minutes leading up. But it really shone by Carlee empowering us to have the dreamiest and most-stress free day we could have ever imagined... it really was perfect. Thank you Carlee! Sincere thanks and gratitude…” - Jayme & Cameron Tait, Vancouver BC

"We can't thank Carlee enough for all the hard work and effort she put into making our wedding day so special.  We are from out of town so i knew the wedding planning process would be a bit of a challenge, but from the first conversation I had with Carlee I immediately felt at ease. She is a great organizer and was always quick to respond to any questions I had (and I had a lot!)

Carlee helped make our wedding day run so smoothly which allowed us to enjoy every moment. We highly recommend Carlee to any couple planning their wedding." - Anna & Jeff, Vancouver BC

“I can’t imagine how couples manage to organise and execute a wedding without a planner like Carlee. From day one, she was full of great suggestions and nothing was too much trouble. We live in the UK, so having Carlee near our venue in Whistler was invaluable in making sure everything fell into place with our variety of vendors. Carlee handled it all and made it look easy! Carlee is friendly, warm and above all else, calm. Even when we had some last minute issues with a vendor or two, Carlee took the stress on her shoulders and allowed my wife and I to enjoy the day. I had total confidence that it would all work out with Carlee at the helm. We can’t thank her enough.” – Tessa & Charles, Kingston UK

"Hiring Carlee for the Day Of Coordination of our wedding was one of the best planning decisions I made! I originally thought I wouldn't need a planner because between my event planning experience and the great venue staff that coordinated much of the logistics, the day would run itself - but it doesn't work that way! I was able to hand over all the last minute decisions (there will be many), problems (something always comes up), and my half finished tasks (you always run out of time) to Carlee so that I could enjoy the day and all the work I had put in. Months of planning and the day just flies by, but knowing the event was under Carlee's calm and capable control meant I could focus on enjoying the moment and the company of the friends and family who had traveled so far to celebrate with us. Carlee was an angel who put me at ease from our first phone call, never forgetting a single detail or adjustment I threw her way. "I regret hiring a wedding planner" said nobody ever. Seriously." – Alexandra & Bill, North Vancouver BC

“We hired Carlee for her Day of Services for our November wedding at the Nita Lake Lodge. This turned out to be the best decision we made for our wedding. We live in Ontario so trying to arrange everything for our wedding in Whistler was slightly more difficult than we expected. Carlee was there to help me throughout the entire process. She recommended vendors, and found me the most amazing flower and décor company. She met me on site in August for a site visit and to ensure that I was on the right track with my planning. She also had a phone call with us a few weeks before the wedding to go over our contracts with the other vendors, delivery times, and overall image for the wedding. I am a slight control freak and was planning to be at the resort to help set-up the day off.  Carlee wouldn’t have it and met with me the night before to go over all of our décor and my image a second time, and then forced me to relax on the wedding day and enjoy myself. Carlee is extremely professional and knew exactly how to deal with all my worries. On the day of, we had balloons we wanted to use that turned out to be the wrong size. Instead of worrying me, she snuck in and talked with my bridesmaid to let her know and get her opinion. Together they made the perfect decision and I never had to be worried. Before the reception started, she snuck me into the reception hall to see everything before it had been disturbed. Seeing how she set up the ceremony and reception with the décor, I was speechless. She set up everything exactly like I had dreamed. She made the day seamless, worry-free and perfect. You could simply say she made all my dreams come true. Carlee is a wedding planner Extraordinaire and everyone would be lucky to have her as part of their planning process.” - Erik & Lesli, Richmond Hill, ON

"I think choosing to work with Carlee over the 7-8 months leading up to our wedding was one of the smartest decisions that we made for our big days’ preparation. Carlee’s resourcefulness, strong personality and dedication to her work made her presence invaluable to our wedding. When my partner and I started thinking about having a big wedding, I was not supper excited about all the work and effort required to prepare for that 'big day' but Carlee made it smooth and enjoyable. I owe Carlee a big thank you specially for her day-of wedding service that she was present and helping in any possible way. Carlee, we are very glad we found you!" - Tara & Mateo,  Vancouver BC

“Having Carlee help us coordinate our wedding day was truly amazing. From the moment we met over email until the very last moment of our wedding day, she was professional and thoughtful. To kick off the whole process once the contracts were signed, we started off with an introductory call to discuss all the flow of the day. Not only did she listen carefully, she provided honest and helpful feedback that turned out to make our day much more efficient (and fun!).

The second meeting that we had, was the wedding day. She calmly came in to where the girls were getting ready, had a quick de-brief. Once the dust had settled, and I reflected back to that morning, it was so much more than just a prompt meeting. Every single detail we had discussed weeks before, Carlee had secured. We had a vision of our day and she helped bring it all to life. Having that sense of trust and knowing the day was safe in her hands, was the best feeling for a bride and groom. At any time, we had a last-minute question or email between these two meetings, we had almost an immediate response.

Not only was Carlee’s relationship with us so strong, she also has worked with many talented vendors - some of which being the ones we chose to use on the day. Because she already had these previous experiences with vendors, they were more than willing to work with us/her and made the handover process trouble-free.
​
Finally, it is evident that Carlee is so genuine and passionate about her work. We never felt rushed or pressured throughout the process. This allowed us to enjoy every aspect of our day and be thankful to be working with someone with such high standards of professionalism as well as being so incredibly caring. It was the best day of our lives and we have Carlee to thank for helping to run so smoothly! Thank you, Carlee!” - Alex & Francesca, North Vancouver BC 

"Carlee planned our whole wedding starting from the day that Ryan and I got engaged. Inspite of us living overseas during the planning process, it made no difference to her. Carlee still had everything organised down to the minute…literally. We didn’t realise how much planning was involved behind the scenes, but it made me appreciate and enjoy the day that much more. She had Plan B and C as back ups just in case. She was professional yet energetic and just as excited as we were. Her multitasking seemed effortless and I still am amazed at her beautiful work. Carlee listened thoughtfully to our wishes and desires and worked to make sure that they were fulfilled even within our budget. She really is one of a kind and anyone would be lucky to have her plan their wedding."  - Kim & Ryan, Comox BC

"We cannot say enough good things about Carlee & how amazing it was to work with her to make our wedding dreams at Nita Lake Lodge this February come true. As someone who has a hard time letting others help for fear of anything less than perfection I was nervous to have a planner, but I cannot stress how much faith & trust I had in Carlee after our meetings together. Each time I mentioned to another one of our vendors that Carlee was our coordinator they praised us for making such a great choice! My husband & I have since talked to several of our friends who are planning their weddings & each time he says that hiring Carlee was the best decision we made. The days leading up to the wedding she sent out emails to each vendor double & triple checking they will be there at the correct time & always clued us in if there was any clarification needed. It was important to us to have a relaxed & enjoyable time at our wedding, as I’m sure most people hope for. Though that rarely happens for others, as the day of is usually spent with family & the couple running around setting up & making sure all is where it should be. The morning of our wedding I got a visit from Carlee, where she cheerfully checked in & collected our vendor thank yous to pass out later for us. Then she was back downstairs creating the most beautiful ceremony/reception space we ever could have imagined. We had a walk through the day before where she took notes about what we envisioned & if something was different the day of, it was only because she had thought of a better & more efficient way to do it. If we ever decide to renew our vows we will be calling you again Carlee, maybe then we can do a warm destination trip to Hawaii! We are so unbelievably grateful & really truly owe our beautiful wedding day to you & everyone else who helped put it on! Thank you!" – Bethany & Joey, Kodiak AK

"We were absolutely thrilled to work with Carlee for Day of Coordination. She became instrumental in making the day happen. She is professional, detailed oriented, flexible and easy to collaborate with.  Her valuable expertise, patience and consistent calmness made it possible for us to take in our wedding as a day of ceremony and celebration. Carlee had all the logistics fully covered - highly recommended!" – Juljka & Daniel, Vancouver BC

"One of the best decisions we've ever made was to hire Carlee as our "Day-Of Coordinator" for our wedding in Pemberton. We immediately liked her, and knew from the first moment that we met her, that she was someone who would ensure an absolutely perfect event. She spoke with us several times prior to the wedding, and was always quick to ease any of our concerns, and was always offering to take tasks upon herself to lighten our checklist. She was also very thorough in every step taken, and brought up several key event factors that we would have missed if not for her!

When the weekend of the wedding arrived, Carlee was an absolute joy to be around. Her enthusiasm for the upcoming event was contagious, and she made set-up into an exciting and enjoyable experience. She had so many wonderful ideas, and was able to quickly and effectively improvise fixes for unexpected roadblocks. When the weather threatened to remain nasty, Carlee was the driving force behind creating solutions that would work with the weather, without sacrificing the vision that we had created for our outdoor wedding.  

I watched her toil tirelessly in the pouring rain, a smile on her face, determined to give us our special day. At one point, she came up to the bridal suite to ask me a question. Seeing her, soaking wet from head to toe, but still driven to ensure the venue was beautifully made-up, I knew that this was a lady who was truly passionate about both her job and her clients. She was also my saviour in that she knew exactly how to assure me that everything would turn out perfect...and in the end, it was just that. Perfect!

As many brides do, I often have a hard time relinquishing control, but in this instance, I had every faith in Carlee, as she continued to impress us at every turn. She did not only an incredible job of the set-up, but was an absolute master at handling and guiding people in their tasks. I'm still amazed at how she was able to guide the flow of the evening, and was constantly aware of the wedding timeline. She even snuck in to sweep off the dance floor before our first dance, as it had gotten quite covered in grass and dirt.  

I can't even count the number of people who came up to me that weekend and said, "Your wedding coordinator is amazing!" I couldn't agree more with them. Charming, enthusiastic, vibrant, wonderful...I could go on and on. As a wedding planner and coordinator, she's pretty much every good word I can think of, and an all-around amazing person. Thanks Carlee, for absolutely everything. You'll always have our recommendation!"
- Courtney & Jordan, Vancouver BC

"We cannot thank Carlee enough for her hard work, attention to detail and great ideas. We hired her for full service planning, and are thrilled with that decision. She really took time to hear what we wanted in our ceremony and reception and allowed her experience to make recommendations. For example, she convinced us to try for an outdoor ceremony in February and somehow managed to get the weather to cooperate! What a dream come true. We were thrilled with all the vendors she recommended. Throughout the year we Facetimed monthly to stay on track, and this definitely avoided any last minute stress. She was so present throughout the year, and the week prior was so helpful. She worked so hard to set up the venue and it was perfect. I don’t know what we would have done without her and would recommend her highly to anyone especially those who are planning from out of town. Thank you very much!" - Sarah & Andy, Portland OR

"I am so incredibly thankful that Carlee was part of our wedding team. I could not have asked for a better person to help me carry out my wedding vision. Carlee took over all planning and coordination 4 weeks prior to our wedding, which not only made our big day absolutely perfect, but also made the weeks leading up to it incredibly calm and enjoyable. She is professional, patient, caring, warm, and an all-around lovely person.  She made sure everything was set up perfectly down to the last detail and took care of all of our guests needs as if they were her own family.  I cannot thank Carlee enough and would without a doubt recommend her to any bride." - Brittany & Dean, Vancouver BC

"Carlee was the wedding coordinator we never knew we needed. I was required by my wedding venue to bring on a planner and so reluctantly I began a search for a day-of coordinator. However, from the get go, I got the impression that Carlee was the missing piece for our wedding. She was hyper-organized and eager to help me as much or as little as needed. A number of times throughout the wedding process I was feeling incredibly lost and overwhelmed with planning, however this was always resolved by a phone call to Carlee. She made herself available for a number of these phone conversations and was always quick to respond to a question via email.  
 
Fast forward to the day of the wedding, I saw Carlee’s car pull in, and I instantly felt relaxed. Besides checking in with me in the morning, saw her only a few times for the rest of the day, however I had complete faith that she was doing everything as we had discussed. Periodically I would see her as she would come and check in, make sure we were on schedule, or touch base about how things were going. However her organization and orchestration of the day made it so that I did not have to think about any logistics, even once. Some guests who came to the wedding were shocked when I told them I had a wedding coordinator, and I truly believe that is because Carlee was so immersed, and made everything so effortless and seamless, that her help was almost unnoticed.
 
Throughout the blur of the day, I would occasionally notice that something would have changed, wedding decorations in previous spaces had been repurposed, a table would shift, or a certain feature would have been adapted in order to suit the new portion of the evening. These adjustments were always perfect and timely, and yet once again I never actually saw Carlee do them! It was like she was reading my mind, but with things I hadn’t even thought of!
 
At some point towards the end of the night Carlee came in and checked in with me to say that she had coordinated the end of the evening with the staff, had organized it so that I would not need to worry about tear down, and furthermore had ensured that we would have some decorations remaining/organized for the following day's brunch. During this conversation with her, I realized with simultaneous horror and relief that in all of my planning at no point did I think about tear-down or packing up after the event, but Carlee once again had solved a problem that I didn’t even know needed solving. The next day we were able to just remove the final pieces that had been left behind for the brunch, load the boxes into our cars, and drive away. It was all so seamless and stress-free.
 
I would recommend Carlee to absolutely anyone, organized or less-so (like me). At no point in planning or on the day of did I feel like I was without support. I owe so much of my sanity and a lot of the weddings success to her thoughtful and incredibly proactive attention to detail. If you need a day-of-coordinator or planner she is your woman! Even though my guests hardly noticed, I noticed her by the fact that I went through the whole day completely blissful, just enjoying the efforts of months of planning culminating in what was the best day of my life." – Harriet & Kyle, Port Moody BC

"During the final months of planning and preparation we decided to hire a 'day of coordinator' for our Wedding. Based on excellent referrals, by the local businesses, we decided to ask Carlee if she was available. Much to our delight and enthusiasm she was! We had found out very quickly through speaking with her how organized and knowledgeable she was - not to mention how friendly and personable. She was very detailed and had taken an interest in our Wedding, and what vision we had. She understood what we were going through trying to plan a Wedding out of town. She knew many of the local businesses in and around the Pemberton and Whistler area, and offered as much help as needed (follow-up calls, deliveries & pickups).

Our first face-to-face meeting was the day before the wedding. She was completely client focused and so friendly. She was able to creatively problem solve with us to make our dream become our reality. We felt very confident and secure about her abilities. She had taken numerous notes and pictures, taken time to ask us questions about every element of our wedding and discussed every detail. She physically walked around the venue with us from the ceremony area on the dock to the reception site in the forest.  

Every single aspect of our Wedding came together with strong leadership, teamwork, effort and hard work. Carlee was the go-to person right from the beginning until after our first dance. She cued us for our Ceremony, played our music for our entrance songs...etc. All our flowers were perfectly assembled from the Wedding Arch to Head Table. Cake was in the perfect position, and designed to look so good on the cake table. The dining tables were perfect, all the candles were lit and our design was perfectly played out. She utilized all of our things, decorations and ideas! She made our dream a true reality x a million! Her creativeness, professionalism and attention to detail made our big day happen without a hitch or worry. Carlee was also very adaptable, flexible and understanding to last minute changes.

We are still speechless over how beautiful and creatively detailed everything was. The day and night easily flowed for us, our guests, and other vendors. All we did was get ready that day and enjoy the show! We had and continue to receive so many positive comments from almost each one of our guests in regards to how beautiful everything was, especially the ceremony and reception area. Bonus points for such a picturesque head table setting! Carlee came through when it mattered the most, and far exceeded our expectation! Thank you so much for making our dream Wedding a reality!"

“Working with Carlee was just a pleasure, she made us feel at ease, we knew that at every turn she was there one step ahead of us. No question felt dumb, all problems were quickly solved and addressed, and day-of she felt like an extension of everything that was envisioned. If there were any snags in the day, we did not notice them, and she even went above and beyond in the decor, better than we could have ever asked for. We hired Carlee just wanting a person to follow some directions for setting up the decor day-of, what we got was an amazing, collaborative, creative helping hand that made the entire process easier and more organized. We really don't know how we could have pulled off this dream day without Carlee!” - Cassy and Tanner, Vancouver BC

"Carlee was incredible from the very beginning. I hired Carlee over the phone and actually never met her in person until the day of the wedding. Carlee is kind, patient and an excellent listener. She is very professional and takes her time to completely understand your vision and ensures its delivery. On the day of the wedding, Carlee was a calm presence, she was very organized and a task master. She took care of all the details and there is no job above or beneath her. I would highly recommend Carlee and was very impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail, patience and presence.." - Kristen & Curtis, Vancouver BC
