Social Butterfly Events

Heather & Charyl are absolutely amazing!!!! They took my thoughts and gave us a beautiful wedding. They are very quick to respond and make you feel like you are the only bride in the world. We have made friends for life!!!! Thank you ladies for giving us our dream wedding!!!!

To say that there was a connection after I met with the Social Butterfly Events team is an understatement….it was more like after 5 minutes, I knew that they were a perfect fit for me and my wedding! I’m not like most brides, I had my venue picked out and even some vendors booked, but I had a vision that I quite couldn’t put into place myself and I knew that the team at SBE would be able to make my vision come to life. I was not disappointed at any point during the process. Charyl and her team were extremely attentive in booking appointments and contacting vendors on my behalf. I was also lucky enough to also get to work with Heather and the Paper Butterfly who designed my unique invitations that received rave reviews from both local and out of town guests. The unique approach with the ability to custom design to fit the theme of my wedding was so much better than using the canned templates at stationery stores. The SBE team also suggested vendors and options for things that I had not yet booked like florals and lighting. The exceptional service that Charyl and the SBE team provided made me feel like I was their only client even though I know they were working with many other brides. I didn’t have to worry about a thing for the rehearsal or the day of, the SBE team took care of it all and I was able to relax and enjoy everything at my wedding. Even with the challenge of a crazy rainstorm, SBE made some last minute adjustments and the event space turned out as perfect as I had imagined. Their attention to detail, event management and design assistance is exceptional!! I’m proud to be a part of the SBE family and I would definitely recommend the SBE team for your most important event!

Charyl and Heather are amazing. They turned my vision for our wedding into a reality. They are creative and reliable and personable. I love these two and anyone who gets married anywhere needs to hire them. Love you guys! Thank you so much!

Love the ladies of Social Butterfly Events! From the very beginning they were giving me wonderful ideas and helping me with any questions I had. They were always easy to get in touch with and responded promptly. The day of my wedding was amazing. Everything ran so smooth and on time. I even had a guest show up late who said he thought he would be on time because weddings never start on time...mine did! If there were any issues the day of, I didn't know about them. Charyl and Heather handled everything with grace and the utmost professional attitudes. They also made me feel so special, like I was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen :) I would absolutely recommend them and I already have. Thank you for everything ladies!

P.S. This review is coming from another wedding professional.

Charyl and Heather are professional and super fun and truly helped my husband and I plan the best day of our lives! They took the time to understand our vision and get to know us as a couple. They helped us pick vendors that fit our style and our budget. They scheduled tons of tastings and meetings and went with us to all of them. Even though they had tons of weddings going at once, they made us feel so special and unique through the whole process. We are 100% confident that our day would not have been as perfect and put together as it was if they had not helped us orchestrate everything!

Social Butterfly made my wedding happen in 3 months and every single person I know has come up to me and told me that every aspect of the wedding was the prettiest/most perfect/best wedding they have ever been too, "honestly!" And they go on and on....thanks to Charyl & Heather and their amazing vendors!

Where do I begin to review Charyl and Heather and all that is Social Butterfly Events? Do I start with how these two amazing women custom made haybale covers (for the haybales that I wanted...which they found, procured, and delivered)? Or maybe it'd better to start by commenting on their extensive network of trusted vendors, all of whom took the time to tell me "how awesome" my planners were, and all of whom were willing to bend over backwards to help the Social Butterfly girls and their bride? Perhaps the best route is to begin with how comfortable and cared for Charyl and Heather made my husband and I (and our whole families) feel, from the first phone conversation with Charyl until heather ushered me to the top of the aisle on our wedding day? Any way I go about it, Social Butterfly rocks. They beyond rock. They took our dreams of what we wanted for our wedding-however out-there and vague they were- and made them into an incredible celebration of joy and gratitude that at once honored who we are as wacky individuals, and also radiated with the importance and tradition that should surround any wedding. Working with Charyl and Heather you get the sense that these girls care about your MARRIAGE and not just your WEDDING. Will they get all excited with you when you find the perfect flowers for your bouquet? Heck yes! Are they going to handle business and keep things running PERFECTLY on your big day? Absolutely. Drunk toasters and all. Marc and I consider these ladies great friends, and we'd get married all over again, with these two, in a heartbeat.

Partnering with Social Butterfly Events was a first-rate experience. Both Charyl and Heather were fully invested in creating a memorable wedding experience beyond our wildest dreams. They are quintessential professionals with a unique blend of creativity and business savvy. They are extremely well-connected in the Wilmington, NC area and know how and where to find anything a couple might need to make their wedding experience a unique and original expression of their union. We highly recommend Social Butterfly Events without any reservations!

SBE provided the help that I needed to make my day everything that I wanted. Their design talent made my venue beautiful. The itinerary, vendor management and clean up service made the day very easy for me. I would recommend this company to any bride.

Charyl & Heather are wonderful ladies to work with! We had a limited budget and they recommended wonderful vendors and helped us make our day as special and beautiful as we had hoped!
They are very creative and find inventive solutions to any problems that might arise.
We could not have done it without them!
Thanks Ladies!

We had 4 months to plan a wedding and with the expertise and confidence of Social Butterfly we put together a dream wedding!

We couldn't have done any better if we had a year to plan.

The vendors they recommended were outstanding and the advice and positive energy of Charyl and Heather made it a stress free, beautiful event!!!

We could have never done it without you.

My wedding was on May 7, 2010.
The ladies of Social Butterfly were great to work with through the planning process all the way to the big day. They were in regular contact with me, and kept me on track with bride tasks so I wouldnt have so much to do in the last few weeks.

As far as value, I believe that this service paid for itself. SB offers the experience to steer you away from less-dependable or overpriced vendors, preventing possible catastophies or budget issues. They also saved me a great deal of time on the wedding day confirming vendors and decorating so I was able to have leisurely time with my bridesmaids for fun, memorable moments, rather than nervous preparation.

On the actual wedding day, the venue was decorated beautifully, all my requests were taken care of, and they were there to remind me of things I wanted to do at the reception while maintaing a low profile.

Im not sure what happened after the wedding as my family, friends and I were not a part of the clean-up process. I can tell you that I met Charyl a few days later and she had all of my "left behind" belongings! What a saint.

What sets SB apart from the other planners in Southeastern NC is that they are not rigid or stuffy old-schoolers with a mission to have a cookie-cutter wedding. They work with you to navigate through wedding ettiquette, while ensuring you have the wedding of your dreams either traditional or casual. They truly do understand the modern bride.

I love the Butterflys! They made planning my wedding so easy! They took care of everything for me, I told them a couple of things that I wanted and they ran with it. My wedding was perfect thanks to Charyl and Heather! Thank you ladies for all of your hard work!

I would not have changed anything about my wedding. It had the atmosphere and vibe that I had invisioned for my beach wedding, all thanks to Social Butterfly Events. The only advice I can give to future brides is hire a wedding planner!!!! The last thing your wedding should do is cause you stress. The only real stress I ever felt was over the possiabilty of a looming hurricane! I would also tell future brides the I do's are the only thing that is important everything else is just details!

I LOVE THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES!! Infact, I would not have survived this wedding with out them. They went ABOVE and BEYOND all of my expectations every step of the way. They were more than just wedding planners.. Charyl and Heather became our friends and when I looked over during my ceremony they were crying too! They really care about their clients and never over step any boundries. They always make sure your wedding is what YOU want. I was so so so pleased with SBE. I love you guys and wish you all the best! I highly highly highly recommend Social Butterfly Events!

Charyl and Heather were very easy to work with and very responsive to my questions and concerns. They suggested excellent vendors to work with and did the detail work for me. Their "day of" organization of the rehearsal dinner and the wedding was excellent. They took care of details I didn't even know about and made everything look seamless. They are great professionals and I give them my highest recommendation.

Charyl & Heather came highly recommended. Originally, I was not planning on hiring wedding planners, but my mom & I lived a good 4 hours from our wedding location. It was certainly one of the best decisions I made to help get in gear for planning.

These Ladies really helped to calm my nerves & ensure that my wedding would be everything I envisioned. There were many memorable moments & conversations before the Big Day & they handled it all with ease. I couldn't have asked for a better team! Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!

Love them! Heather and Charyl are the best and are so much fun to work with.

Social Butterfly Events came highly recommended by a trusted vendor. I hired Charyl and Heather with Social Butterfly Events to help coordinate our big day and I'm so glad I did. I was nervous about all of the details I had been planning for a year to come together and they went above and beyond to ensure that they did. They eased any nervousness I had and we had a great time working together. They were both very professional, personable, and I would without a doubt, hire them again for another event. Heather did an amazing job designing our programs and putting the finishing touches on our reception venue, making it so beautiful. Charyl was a joy to work with, very organized and responsive. If you work with them, you will be in great hands!

Social Butterfly Events is amazing! They helped me with all my "day of" wedding plans, and I cannot express how much I needed them, and am so glad to have had them. I am a Catering Manager, and thought I could do it all myself. It was like a burden lifted off my shoulders when Charyl and Heather helped me on my wedding day. I didn't have to think about anything on my wedding day other then having a great time, because they did it all for me! If I can give any piece of advice to other brides it would be hire a wedding planner, and hire Social Butterfly Events!

Wonderful services!

Social Butterfly made my wedding day perfect!!! They were always around the answer any questions and listened to everything and said I wanted and made it happen!! It was a pleasure to work with them and I would recommend them to anyone who has a special event that needs planning!!!

They are wonderful regarding fine detail planning and day-of organization!!! I did not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding!

I hired Social Butterfly to help me in planning my destination wedding. I wanted a planner because I knew that planning a wedding from so far away would not be easy and I thought it would make the planning process less stressful. Unfortunately they added a great deal of stress. After meeting them for the first time a year before the wedding they told us they were going to book the two local trollies in town to ensure we would get them. They never did and when the time came we had to book a charter bus to take guests from the ceremony site to the reception venue. This caused a great deal of extra time, stress, and money. I rarely would get responses from emails I would send them with questions or concerns, even though my contract stated "unlimited calls and meetings" were provided. Because I was so far away, I only needed to meet with them a few times, so I would have thought the few emails I did send during the planning would be answered promptly. Come wedding day, they did a great job of doing everything I wanted. It was the lack of communication throughout the planning process that made this a negative experience for me.

I love the butterflies! I work with them as often as possible! My brides never have a complaint, and being one of their brides as well I can honestly say they are AMAZING!

The girls at Social Butterfly Events are such a pleasure to work with! They are attentive to the needs of their couples and work tirelessly to create a perfect wedding from the beginning stages of planning, to end of a fabulous reception. They manage the details of a wedding with confidence, and they are sure to make your big day run beautifully and seamless!

I recommend the services of Social Butterfly Events to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela Neik www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155

Social Butterfly Events portrays the professionalism, enthusiasm and organizational skill to make your wedding all you dream it can be.

We are impressed with the Butterfly ladies! They spend a great deal of time learning about their client's needs and help them fulfill their dreams. They make sure the details are handled and stress is not a part of the big day for their clients.
We find them fun and exciting to work with and would highly recommend them to our brides.

I love working with the Social Butterflies!
