From the moment we booked Carolina Country Weddings And Events, their communication was effective, quick and thorough. The team worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to ensure everything flowed smoothly on our special day. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, creating a fairytale setting that felt straight out of a dream. Sara, our coordinator, was so sweet and incredible - she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was truly stunning.
