One of the best parts of this job is that every wedding is different - I know you might hear that a lot but we truly do this because we want to know your story, we want to hear your vision, and we want to know what the most important aspects of your wedding day are! That's why we have created a unique team full of talented + creative ladies that can fit with your personal vibe!

It's finally here and we are so excited to share with you the launch of The C&D Collective! ⠀
⠀
The Collective is a unique group of planning professionals, each with their own personalities and flare for the job, but still a team built around the C&D core values: Service, Hospitality, and Family. ⠀
⠀
These ladies are bosses in their own right - they each bring a unique perspective and process to the table with our clients. They have individually carved out a unique vendor niche and have fostered personal and meaningful relationships within the industry. These ladies are not newbies to the industry, they have each been with us for multiple years and need no hand holding from us, they are literal bosses. We felt like it was time they got more of the proverbial pie! The collective is set up so they each have their own brand and voice represented in C and D Events. The best part (and the most exciting to us) is that now our clients get a chance to choose their planner based on common personalities, style, and values - insuring the best planner/client relationship!⠀
⠀
We are not only launching the collective, but are also expanding the C&D brand to Western NC, reaching the Greensboro, Triad and beyond called .west, which is lead by our very own !⠀
⠀
And to top it all off, we have finally given our website the face lift it needed in order to showcase what C&D and its sister brands have to offer! Check it out via the link in our bio, where you can also see our blog and read more about the how and why behind The Collective!⠀

HAPPY TUESDAY! 💕
.
We are back with our introductions and wanted to share with your our one and only Catherine Hamilton. 😆
.
This lady joined us back in 2017 and has been infatuated with the wedding world every since planning her own! 👰🏻
.
A few fun facts about her:
1️⃣ She is a fur mom to 2 sweet dogs and a cat. Duke, Norbert, and Butler Kitty. 🐶🐶🐱
2️⃣ She does NOT consider herself a runner, but runs as her regular workout. Crushed 90 miles for Lent... but still “not” a runner. 🤦🏼♀️
3️⃣ Absolutely loves to be outside 🏔 Want to go for a hike, this is your girl to call. Especially if you are in Asheville. ♥️
4️⃣ Use to work for a local craft brewery, so if you have any questions on how much to serve or even what style, she has you covered. 🍻
5️⃣ She is obsessed with weddings! 💍Truly never gets tired of hearing about your day and even on her days off watches any and all “reality” wedding TV shows. (Looking at you 👗)
.
We can’t wait for you to know even more about her when you become a C&D Bride. 💋

Hey Y’all! It is time for and we can’t wait to introduce you to Maggie! ☺️⠀
•⠀
She started with us back in December of 2017 and has worked so hard (and up) to become one of our newest Lead Planners. 💪👑⠀
•⠀
A few fun facts about her: ⠀
1️⃣ I broke two bones on separate occasions within one month when I was in middle school ☠️⠀
2️⃣ I sing and dance all the time like I’m amazing at both but I’m really sub-par 🎤💃🏻⠀
3️⃣ I hate cats (that might not be popular) 🚫🐱🐈🤦🏻♀️⠀
4️⃣ I like to knit 😀🧶 ⠀
5️⃣ In my glory days, I was a pretty legit soccer player ⚽️⠀
•⠀
What we want you to know about her is that:⠀
She loves to travel to Asheville 🏔 where I was born and raised. I am a slightly extroverted introvert 😆🤫. I am obsessed with my family 👨👩👧👧 and could not imagine my life without Jesus ✝️ and my amazing church family. I treat every wedding like my own, and believe that you deserve nothing but the best on that day! 💋
Alpaca, oriental rugs, and succulents... OH MY! 😯 No matter how your Monday is going it cannot be better than this bride and her alpaca! 🧡
•
Each bride is unique in her vision, and we may be biased, but this bride’s vision was one we will never forget! See what has to say about our very own big day! 🌿🌾💐 •

Cakes... am I right!?! 🤤⠀
•⠀
Your dessert is really sets the tone for the “next steps” to your wedding. 🤔 Follow us here... most of the time with dinner (in the olden years) people would have a full dinner & you knew it was over and could “retire” once the dessert was served. 🍰 ⠀
•⠀
Most of your guest still have the same approach to your wedding. They are waiting for the dessert portion so they know what to do next & that the meal is officially over. 🕰 Dinner➡️Dessert➡️Dancing⠀
•⠀
So wether you are doing a 🍰 cake, or ice cream 🍨, even homemade desserts 🧁 🍪 That helps your guest 👵🏼🧓🏻know what’s to come.💃🏻🕺🏻🎉 & trust us when we say that once your guest see your dessert it’s hard to stop them from wanting it! 🤤😍⠀

We are a sister team that loves weddings! We both planned our own weddings on very tight budgets. While most brides would stress and complain, we loved finding the deals! We enjoyed every part of planning for the big day. We both attended Meredith College and loved it. We were previously teachers but found planning to be our true passion. We think that every wedding should be a reflection of the bride no matter how much their budget is. Every wedding is unique and special. We hope that we can help make your day perfect for you!
