“The word ‘no’ is not in Carrie’s vocabulary…”

I have no idea where to even start, but say, "If you are planning an event or wedding - look no further, than Carrie Dayton Events & Consulting." Carrie and her team were fabulous and the entire wedding weekend ran so smoothly. It was everything I ever dreamed of and more. The word "no" is not in Carrie's vocabulary, so whatever you want, she will find a way to get it done better than you could ever imagine! My husband pretty much summed it up after the wedding when I heard him tell his colleague that is going to get married, "You have to hire Carrie. I am not sure how it all happened, but it was just perfect.

“The peace of mind she provides is priceless…”

Carrie did an amazing job at planning our wedding. From the very beginning she was professional and made sure to learn what we wanted and make it happen. She also had great suggestions and options to present when I wasn’t sure which was helpful as an indecisive bride. She will do whatever is needed to make you happy. It made the day so much more enjoyable knowing that every detail was covered. The peace of mind she provides is priceless. She really knows what she’s doing and has a reassuring presence. Can’t recommend her enough!

Jessica, Bride

“Carrie and her team were invaluable…”

Carrie and her team were invaluable to my daughter and me as we planned a large wedding event. Many hours of phone and video meetings and Carrie’s attention to detail enabled her team to plan and coordinate the event my daughter envisioned. There is no doubt in my mind that our wishes, our sanity.

Thank you to Carrie, Maria and the team for being wonderfully invested in our event. We could not have done it without you.

Michelle, Mother of the Bride

"She cares and you can see it in the details."

We have used Carrie Dayton for both our daughter and son’s wedding and even the engagement party. She took off all of the stress from me and the weddings and party went off without a flaw. She's a delight to work with and thinks of everything. She is very organized and knows what needs to be done when. Nothing is forgotten or messed up. Several of my daughter’s friends want to use her when they get married. She cares and you can see it in the details. I highly recommend Carrie Dayton.

Iris, Mother of Bride

“What a gift you have been to all of us!"

Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism. What a gift you have been to all of us! Your sunny disposition and unflappable calm gave us confidence so we could enjoy the special day! We are truly grateful!

MJ, Mother of the Groom – Omaha, NE

“I am so happy to have worked with you.”

Hands down the best decision I made throughout this whole wedding planning process was hiring you…it is no wonder your name is passed around in the wedding industry. You are so easy to work with and very knowledgeable. I am so happy to have worked with you!

Emily, Bride – Lincoln, NE

"We were so very impressed by Carrie's genuineness and warmth, her experience and knowledge of the industry as wells as her professionalism!"

We were very happy (as well as relieved) to have found someone who we could turn to and lean on to make our special day everything we hoped it could be and more.

Throughout the months of working with Carrie, she never ceased to surprise me, and when she started brainstorming ideas for wedding plans, she really blew my mind and came up with some really cool and novel ideas.

My husband and I are so grateful we had Carrie as our wedding planner turn to as she helped us navigate the myriad of ideas and decisions involved in planning our wedding.

If you want the best, you want Carrie Dayton! She is a rock star! We are so grateful she helped us to have the most beautiful wedding day ever!

Kathryn & Don, Bride & Groom

Carrie and her staff are wonderful to work with. Carrie recommended a variety of great vendors to fit our budget and she went above and beyond with every detail in the months before the wedding and on the day of the wedding. Our daughter's wedding and reception were everything we had hoped for, and we cannot thank Carrie enough for all she did to help us make it special!

Sharon, Mother of the Bride

"We couldn't have dreamed up a better wedding."

I have to say that all my expectations were exceeded. I was very nervous to plan my destination wedding in the Bahamas. Of course you want everything to be perfect which is why we decided to let someone with experience coordinate it. Carrie Dayton Events and Consulting very thoroughly questioned us about things I certainly would have forgotten about to find out what we wanted. At no point did I feel stressed about anything. My husband and I can't stop talking about how wonderful everything went. I honestly didn't even have to communicate with the hotel where our ceremony was. Carrie took care of everything. I wanted a color scheme that they didn't advertise and Carrie made it happen. One of my best friends surprised me by showing up and of course I wanted her in the wedding party. Carrie had the brilliant idea to make her a flower girl. My husband and I decided we didn't want the traditional guest book and Carrie thought up using postcards instead. I highly recommend Carrie Dayton Events and Consulting! We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding.

Anne & Steve, Bride & Groom

“...you calmed everyone's nerves..."

Awesome job with the ceremony – you calmed everyone’s nerves and ran the show with authority, grace and style – thank you – so much appreciated! We also have loved working with you and appreciate the friendship. Everyone in the wedding party and family enjoyed working with you on the ceremony.

Kevin, Father of the Bride

“Carrie and her team made us feel special…”

Carrie and her team made us feel special the whole working with them and beyond. I felt like I didn’t need to lift a finger on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Carrie and her team for your next event.

Natalie, Bride

Carrie and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. Our wedding day/weekend wouldn’t have been possible without their expertise. Carrie went above and beyond to accommodate all of our wishes and gathered our dream team of vendors to pull off our wedding weekend.

Because of COVID, our wedding would been cancelled, but with Carrie’s willingness and professionalism to work around the clock to plan, replan, plan, and replan every detail and handle every obstacle thrown at us, the entire weekend went off without a hitch. We still have guests raving about how breathtaking the wedding was and how much fun they had. Carrie was there for us during the whole planning process. She made it easy to make decisions and understood my vision from the start and turned it into one of the best weekends that I will cherish forever. It truly was the perfect day/weekend.

I am hopeful our paths will cross again, and we will remain close friends with her.

Jamie & Tyler, Bride & Groom

“Carrie became our friend…”

Words cannot express the gratitude Lauren and I have for Carrie Dayton. She is creative, professional, caring, and fun. She listened to both Lauren and Trevor as well as me, the mother of the bride and made everyone's wishes come true. She has a gift of listening and deciphering what her client wants. Her innovative ideas made the preparation and planning fun and stress-free. The day of the wedding was magical and I, as the mother of the bride, did not worry about one thing. I had so much fun watching our daughter, Lauren and Trevor, laugh, cry, and enjoy the most magical and best day of their lives. Everything was perfect and right on task!

Carrie became our friend and I truly miss her chats, video-conferences, e-mails, and texts. Carrie responded quickly to every question that I had with enthusiasm! If you want the best in the business, Carrie Dayton's team should be your choice. She has our highest recommendation!

Marjorie, Mother of the Bride

Carrie is an amazing consultant. I was finishing my college degree at the time leading up to the wedding and did not have a lot of free time on my hands. Carrie talked to all the vendors and set up times that fit my schedule to meet with them and decide which was best for my husband and I. She dealt with any problems that took place with the vendors so I did not have to. Without her we would not have even chosen the venue we went with because we would have never thought to have looked at The German American Society. The wedding was even better than the wedding that I had dreamed up. She thought of things for the wedding that I never even thought of. Definitely worth every penny!

Nicholette & Andrew, Bride and Groom

Carrie helped plan my daughter's wedding "event". The groom's family was from Alaska and other distant states so we planned activities from Thursday through Sunday evening. Carrie's calm professional expertise made even unexpected glitches less nerve-wracking. When the wedding "hair stylist" cancelled the week of the wedding she found replacements that were superior to the original I had personally booked. I could actually relax and enjoy the festivities because of Carrie. Many details that I would have overlooked did not slip by Carrie. I called or emailed her numerous times a day and she always made me feel our event was the top priority in her life. I would highly recommend her and hope to utilize her services again for future weddings.

Patricia, Mother of the Bride

"The first time we met Carrie, we knew we wanted her to be a part of our day."

When we decided to throw a big wedding reception to celebrate our wedding, we knew we couldn't do it alone. The first time we met Carrie, we knew we wanted her to be a part of our day. Carrie took the time to get to know us as a couple...when we met, what we love about each other, what we love about each other's family. She really took the time to understand our love for one another and what was important in our lives.

Carrie's experience coordinating other weddings was a definite plus for us...she knew what worked and what didn't work. Anytime we had a question about wedding etiquette, she had an answer for us. She helped us focus on the areas of our wedding and reception that were important to us. She helped us think of things that we would have never thought of.

Carrie was most valuable on the day of our wedding. All of our wedding party and family kept telling us how smoothly the day went. There was no rushing from one activity to another. The day's timeline was set and followed without any hitches. We called Carrie, "Mary Poppins," because she would appear anytime we needed her. Carrie allowed us the opportunity to focus on the day, those special moments that we would have missed if we were focused on other "things." Our wedding day, ceremony and reception were the best moments of our lives, and we were able to enjoy them with our family and friends. Carrie took the wedding day stress away.

And as a bonus, Carrie is now a friend. We can call her or text her just to say "What's Up", and we have a good time when we can hang out with her.

Carrie loves couples. She loves love. She loves weddings. All of this is important when you trust someone with one of the most special, memorable days a couple will experience. If you want to enjoy every moment of your special day, please ask to have Carrie by your side. It was an honor to have her be a part of our special day.

RyAnne & Dave, Bride & Groom

As a previous client of Carrie's, I would highly recommend Carrie in a heart beat to anyone who is planning a wedding, social event, or party. She is very professional, organized, and knowledgable in the profession of event planning and coordinating. She has such a passion for this industry and an energetic spirit that is contagious, she was even able to get my groom excited about details a groom normally wouldn't care about. Her desire to please her clients in every way possible is astonishing, if she says she will do it, she will in a timely manner. Carrie thought of every little detail, some of which I may have missed. She has excellent relationships established with local vendors such as, florists, caterers, DJ's, and photographers, and recommended the right fit for our wedding. The day of my wedding was stress free and relaxing, as Carrie took care of everything and I was left to enjoy the day. I greatly enjoyed working with Carrie as she helped plan my wedding and ultimately created a day which I will never forget and always cherish.

Courtney & Eric, Bride & Groom

"Carrie was a blessing during our daughter's wedding."

She listened to myself, our daughter and her husband to be. She wanted to make sure she made it what they wanted and helped in any way possible. As the Mother of the Bride, I was able to enjoy the day with my daughter and the time spent with her before the wedding and it was priceless. I didn't have to spend the day running around. My husband and I were able to enjoy every minute of the wedding and the reception and able to leave without worrying about a thing. It was a time I will never get back and I was so blessed to be able to enjoy this time and not think to myself "I wish I could have relaxed more and not worry about all the little things". Thank you Carrie and your fabulous staff.

Kim, Mother of the Bride
