WEDDINGS
It's YOUR day, let's make it happen together.
We love love. We love weddings, and we love anytime a group of people can gather and celebrate life. After doing this for so many years, we know there are truly magical moments that can unfold during your wedding day. It is one of the few days in your life where true magic can happen. Moments such as your mother putting your grandmother’s veil into your hair; the first time you see your partner in their wedding attire; the quiet moment with your mother during the "getting-ready" time; when your father gives you that special smile before giving you away. We manage all the logistics and details so your time is free to witness the magic unfold. You will have time to savor, enjoy and most importantly remember all moments.
But, even more than loving the celebrations, we truly enjoy the logistics that go into making your dream a reality. Over the past 23 years we’ve developed a strong understanding of what your various partners need to know to help you have the day of your dreams. This experience and knowledge helps us make your design visions a reality. And, allow us to assemble a team of partners that truly fit your style.
Our Process
We will help you with your vision by asking a ton of questions that help us really get to know you. We have exercises that help you prioritize what is most important on the day of your wedding. Then, we sit down and draft out a design board that incorporates concepts and ideas that fit your personality and budget. We make changes, suggestions, and edits until the vision is what you truly want. Then we execute. Our industry experience, locally and across the country, has afforded us many connections. We have resources and we use them to help make your dreams a reality. It doesn’t matter if your wedding is in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Northeast, Caribbean or even Hawaii, we have the partners to provide you with a flawless event.
It is important to us that we provide you with a stress-free day that flows effortlessly. Once we have the direction of your vision, we use our tried and true system to obtain all the facts and details we need to know that will help us provide a fabulous day for you.

Client Feedback
“I cannot recommend Carrie enough... her experience, knowledge, and dedication to making your wedding day exquisite are unparalleled. Bringing Carrie onto your team is the smartest thing you can do to ensure a smooth and successful event for you and all your guests. Her approach to the process made planning the event a breeze, including some unforeseen initial officiant hiccups, and she and her team whisked away any stress associated with the day, allowing us to truly be present in the moment. My wife and I had the best start to our married life together thanks to Carrie, and our wedding still ranks as the family's favorite years later!”

“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!”
