Caroline’s creativity and expertise brought our vision to life in a way we never thought possible. She was always calm, composed, and incredibly supportive, which made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.
Caroline’s network of trusted vendors and her ability to seamlessly coordinate every aspect of our wedding was invaluable. Her dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly on our special day was evident, and we were blown away by how everything came together perfectly.

Caroline was incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process! Being in hospitality and planning our wedding from afar was a different sort of challenge, Caroline was exactly what we needed. When we felt overwhelmed or stressed, she was there to talk through every part of the day. We opted for day of assistance and got way more than we anticipated. Caroline stepped in 8 weeks out from wedding day and was instrumental in coordinating our details, working with vendors, and planning each minute. Day off, Caroline handled us, our family, and guests with care. We still talk about how stress free and smooth the day was, all because Caroline was in the background ensuring anything that arose was taken care of. If anyone asks me the best decision we made on wedding day (besides each other) was having Caroline as our coordinator. We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Caroline & team being a part of our big day!

The best decision I could have possibly made when I started wedding planning was hire Caroline. She became my right hand for everything from dream boarding, to selecting vendors, to handling communications and coordinating, to calming me down when things became too overwhelming. She is always so positive and fun, she made the entire process feel like a breeze and I can fully and confidently say we couldn't have done it without her. She made my pinterest board come to life (and really, all my wedding dreams come true!) We adore Caroline and couldn't speak more highly of her.

Our wedding day simply would not have been as perfect as it was without the help of Caroline and her team. We began working with Caroline about 3 months before the wedding and her attention to detail, ability to adapt to our vision, and overall effort was incredible. She was as responsive in our initial days working together as she was during wedding week. When we ran into issues with vendors, timelines, or the venue itself, she was a phone call away and took care of everything we needed without us having to worry. She is the main reason our wedding day went as smoothly and error-less as it did, and we are so looking forward to the next time we can work with her again!

We brought Caroline on 4-6 weeks out from our wedding. She was instrumental in helping alleviate the pressure on us during those final weeks - she became the point of contact for all our vendors communicating behind the scenes, making sure all the final details and arrangements were being made and accounted for. We would meet regularly for status check ins and she always went above and beyond and offered to help with anything else that she could. Even for our rehearsal dinner which wasn't exactly part of her job description, she was beyond helpful in helping pick things up to/from the venue and caterer because we couldn't. She is extremely organized, communicative, solutions-oriented, and not to mention just a cool person who is so friendly and funny that she'll make it feel fun. Can't recommend Caroline and Protea enough!

We truly cannot say enough good things about Caroline. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thoughtful, and perfectly executed. She handled the rain and our rain plans with precision and perfection, and she even handled our polaroid set up perfectly, making sure we got a photo of every guest which was super important to us. She truly handled every single detail with such care and professionalism that we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy our day.
Any stress we thought we might feel just never showed up, because she was always one step ahead. Every timeline, every transition, every little detail was handled flawlessly. Even the moments when I struggled with the fact my parents wouldn't be there because they had passed away, she handled those emotions with grace and was someone I could open up to.
If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding day feel effortless and completely taken care of, she is the one. If you're looking for someone who is a genuine, kind-hearted human being, she's still the one. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our day absolutely perfect. We love you, Caroline!!!

Protea Event Planners is hands down the BEST wedding vendor. Caroline is incredibly organized and always on top of everything. A friend referred her to us, and we are so grateful they did!
She was a great communicator, always responding promptly to texts and emails, checking in regularly, and keeping us on track. The shared Google Drive she created was also incredibly helpful in keeping everything organized. She was always so willing to help in any way possible, which made our lives so much easier! She is very responsible and reliable!
As an Asian American couple, we truly appreciated how culturally sensitive and respectful she was. She made us feel comfortable and understood throughout the entire process.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. Because she held the ground so well, we were truly able to relax and fully enjoy our day without stress.
We truly could not have done it without Caroline and her team. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator and highly recommend Protea Event Planners!

Out of all of the many many decisions we made for our day, booking with Protea Event Planners was the best decision we made hands down. Caroline was a pleasure to work with and totally calmed any of our stress and anxiety during the days leading up - I can honestly say it’s because of her that we had a completely stress-free wedding day! Not only was it her lovely presence that made the day go perfectly, it was also her skill, natural talent, and years of experience in the industry. She put out all of the small fires, kept everything and everyone involved on time and running smoothly (with a huge bridal party, off-site church ceremony, and two wedding dress looks), and made every detail, no matter how small, of our vision come to life! She made herself extremely available and accessible for our many questions and concerns and never made us feel crazy :) Caroline absolutely went above and beyond for us and we cannot emphasize enough how crucial of a part she was in our day being so amazing. She is already booked for another wedding in the family because of how much we all loved working with her. If you’re thinking of working with Protea Event Planners, book it - you will not regret it!

"Caroline was an absolute dream to work with. We hired her as our day of coordinator to eliminate stress on ourselves and family on the big day. She was super involved during the entire process, not just the big day, and helped with vendor searches and selections, decor ideas, ceremony and reception layouts, and more! We were from out of town and she helped us feel comfortable and confident that the wedding would be beautiful, even if we couldn’t meet up in person many times leading up to it. We toured the venue with her once before the big day and it truly made my husband and I both feel so relaxed because Caroline SAW our vision and helped us brainstorm fun ideas that we had never considered before.

Protea Event Planners was hands down the piece to my wedding planning puzzle that I needed to keep my stress at bay in planning my wedding in 7 months! The last few weeks leading up to my wedding in May this year were not stressful for me as I knew that Caroline and her team did exactly what she said she would. She made multiple timelines for us- editing them and passing them back and forth to vendors leading up to the week of the wedding & then facilitated our walk-through the evening before the wedding.
Unfortunately because of the nature of the wedding industry, Caroline had another wedding booked in NY for the day after ours & therefore passed mine to her assistant for day of coordinating. Crystal and Megan executed the ceremony and reception beautifully, and I know this because I do not even know all the details of behind the scenes action they had to do to make our wedding day exactly what we wanted!

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline this past weekend for a wedding at Visitation Hotel in Frederick, MD as a fellow vendor. She is extremely professional and very easy to work with on what can sometimes be stressful days for vendors! She was communicative in the months/days leading up to the wedding itself and always answered any questions I had very quickly. On the day of the wedding, she or a member of her team, were always quick to relay updates and keep me in the loop on timing. If I ever needed help with something, Protea Event's team was there! I really appreciated their professionalism and will happily recommend Caroline to future clients.

We are grateful to have found Caroline at Protea Event Planners. We were in WAY over our heads....planning a cross-cultural wedding in only 4 months time frame (gulp...) at a new wedding venue in Frederick, MD... we knew we needed help! Caroline was great from the first phone call; her unique combination of superior planning skills, along with positive, creative energy and practical problem solving approach were the exact profile we needed. She kept us on track, managed our vendors for a seamless VIP-like experience on wedding day, and helped us pull off the wedding vision of our dreams. Thanks to Caroline and Protea Event Planners for expertly guiding us through one of the most special days of our lives!

"We cannot recommend Caroline enough! From start to finish, she made our wedding planning experience absolutely seamless. Her attention to detail was incredible. She anticipated every need and ensured nothing was overlooked. Caroline was always prompt, helpful, and kind, making us feel supported and at ease every step of the way. She is also very cost-friendly, offering excellent value for her services. On top of that, she provides additional services like digital design for a small extra fee, which is absolutely worth it—these touches added so much to our day. Thanks to her, our wedding was perfect in every way, and we are so grateful for her dedication and care!"
