Our planner, Cameron, was truly a dream to work with, and we can't imagine our wedding day without him. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned it and somehow made it all even better than we could have imagined. He took the time to really understand my vision and brought it to life so beautifully. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the entire day flowed so smoothly because of his planning, organization, and calm presence. We never had to worry about a thing. Our day was absolutely perfect, and we owe so much of that to Cameron. He’s incredibly talented, knowledgable, kind, and passionate about what he does, and it truly shows in every moment he creates. We’re endlessly thankful for him!
We cannot thank Cameron from Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design enough for being our month of wedding coordinator! He has such a kind soul and is willing to help you every step of the way. The client portal provides monthly checklists to ensure a smooth planning process and the team also provides a list of recommended vendors to create the wedding of your dreams. Although we only booked Cameron for month of coordination, he was always available for any questions we had and really took the time to understand our needs. From a year out, to one month, to bustling my wedding dress and creating the most beautiful wedding day- Cameron supported us through it all!
Chelsea made my wedding planning process so easy. She was always so on top of things and was already handling any roadblocks before I even knew about them. She took my vision and truly brought it to life. Due to weather, we had to do some last minute changes to our original ceremony plans - but everything turned out even better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design!!
We are so grateful for everything that Tiffany and Chad at Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design did to make our wedding so magical! We got the month of coordination package, but we received curated checklists each month to keep us on track prior to our meetings starting six weeks before the wedding. Tiffany was so organized and calming throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions timely. She made sure everything went smoothly and was able to bring our vision to life. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and stress free day, and we owe that to Tiffany and Chad!!
Could not recommend enough!!! From start to finish, Chelsea was absolutely amazing! She thought of every single detail, and her creativity and organization made the entire planning process so much fun. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because I knew Chelsea had everything under control. On our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing—her and her team executed everything flawlessly. They truly brought our vision to life, and the entire experience was nothing short of magical.
Thanks to Chelsea and her incredible team at Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design, our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We are beyond grateful!
If you are questioning whether or not to use their services, DO IT! Worth. Every. Penny. and more!!!
Our wedding was so special because of Chad Biggs and his team. They are sweet, professional, and thorough. Chad made sure I literally did not have to worry about a thing. I trusted Chad with my life and he exceeded all expectations. He thinks of literally everything and will make sure your day runs smoothly. He made it a breeze for myself, my husband, and my family. We could not be more thankful for him and The Distillery (his beautiful venue) for making our day magical! If you need a planner, look no further!
After my now husband, who officiated a wedding that Chad Biggs' team coordinated, saw how incredibly seamlessly they managed the day, it was a NO BRAINER for us to consider them for our wedding!
We booked with Chad Biggs Planning & Design with their day of coordination package, which felt like so much more than that!
Chelsea Cooper was our planner and is INCREDIBLE, a Type A Bride's dream! She is super responsive, knowledgeable and very fun to work with. We will forever remember working with Chelsea, Chad and team as they made our day absolutely perfect!
We used Cameron with Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design and were thoroughly pleased with the entire experience start to finish. Cameron was there for us from day one to answer any questions we had and ensure we had all the wedding details together. On the day of the wedding, Cameron went above and beyond to make sure the day was as smooth as possible - I never expected to feel so relaxed on my wedding day. He was there to support us in any way needed an even checked in with our family members to support them as well. I would 100% recommend working with Cameron!
We ended up with Chad Biggs because we held our wedding at The Distillery. I am forever grateful to have had Chelsea as my planner. She was confident and competent. Leading up to the event she was prepared for any questions I had, and reassured me that, yes, everything was planned and ready to go. She organized the vendors spectacularly and day-of was incredibly smooth. Thank you Chad Biggs and Chelsea for a wonderful wedding planning experience!
We used Tiffany from Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design for the more than day of coordination package and it was one of THE best decisions we made for our wedding. Tiffany and Chad are incredibly knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process from start to finish. Tiffany brought a warm and calming presence throughout the whole process and I really needed someone like that during the crazy process that is the final stages of wedding planning. Our wedding day went so seamlessly and was the absolute most perfect day and that was possible due to this incredible team!!
Chad deserves more than a 5-star review! He did a FANTASTIC job making our vision come to life, especially with our florals. They were better than I could have dreamed of! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous they were. He is so creative, fun, and easy to work with!
I could of not imagined what my wedding would of been like if I did not have Chelsea. Chelsea took so much stress off of me and she made sure everything was perfect. She thought of details that would of NEVER crossed my mind. She created our whole timeline and handled all communication with our vendors which was so nice to have. I was actually able to enjoy the day of the wedding because I did not have to worry about any of the behind the scenes. She kept me on time and handled any road bumps. We even had our officiant show up late (thanks to my Husband) and I had no idea until after the ceremony because Chelsea still made everything run perfectly. I was hesitant about spending wedding budget on a planner, but if I had to do it all over again, I would honestly spend more money and upgrade from the "more than day of coordination" package because of how amazing Chelsea was. This company and team is the dream time and if you are thinking about hiring them...do it. Chad was also a major help along the whole process and has such a keen eye for detail. They are pros when it comes to wedding planning and also such a fun, energetic, caring group.
Chad is INCREDIBLE at his craft... and has truly thought of EVERYTHING you need to make your big day a success. The best decision we made during this process (other than getting married!) was hiring Chad as our "more than month-of coordinator." He made sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned it... and we just absolutely loved working with him every step of the planning process. We can't thank him and his team enough - and would recommend him to anyone!
Thrilled beyond words with Chelsea from Chad Biggs Events Planning & Design as our wedding planner! Her meticulous attention to detail and seamless coordination made our journey from planning to the big day an absolute joy, even when unexpected challenges arose, like having to move indoors due to rain. Chelsea's dedication ensured every moment was perfect, leaving us with unforgettable memories. Moreover, her calming presence and support helped keep me composed during the unexpected change of plans. Highly recommend her for a stress-free and magical wedding experience!
My now-wife and I are very low-key people who genuinely enjoyed the planning process and felt competent leading up to our wedding. Having made it to the other side, I don’t think we could have done it without Kaisey/ Chad Biggs. Kaisey understood and executed our vision to a T and kept everything running smoothly all night. It was such a comfort knowing that there was someone behind the scenes taking care of everything while we wilded out. We are so thankful for everything she did for us and HIGHLY recommend her services!
Kaisey met with me over a year ago when I was VERY pregnant. She was with me every step of the way in planning our wedding. She guided me in the right direction and executed a beautiful, romantic perfect day, even in the rain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🤍
There are not enough positive words to describe our experience working with Kaisey. We got engaged over a year out from our wedding date in March 2023 and Kaisey was there every single step of the way. Her knowledge, expertise and attention to detail are matched by none. When we booked our venue at The Distillery, I asked Chad Biggs which of the planners he knew would be the best fit. He did not hesitate to recommend and set up a meeting Kaisey for us. From our first meeting, I knew we could trust her with our vision and that everything would be perfect. She always had the best recommendations for preferred vendors and used her past weddings to help us craft what I called the A-team. Kaisey built out our entire timeline that allowed my husband and I to sit back and relax when we got close to our date. She went more than above and beyond for us and we had the most seamless wedding. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding planner and friend during the start to our marriage. Thank you Kaisey!
I don’t know that words could even describe our experience with Kaisey, but I will try my very hardest. We were originally planning a wedding for November 2020. We live in Florida and were wanting to get married in NC, where my husband and I are both from. We had several planning groups on the books to interview and Chad Biggs Event Planning was our first meeting. My husband and I met virtually with Chad and Kaisey and we knew that was all we needed. We cancelled the remainder of our appointments with planners. We worked primarily with Kaisey and Chelsea. Kaisey planned our entire wedding. Twice. They are not commission based so we paid one flat fee. Kaisey is extremely organized and very good at her job. Our initial meetings we went over inspiration and vision for the wedding and go to know each other. I showed her some Pinterest inspo and told her I just wanted to show up to a beautiful wedding with great food and an open bar. She first set out to find us a venue and the first handful were not quite what I wanted. She was not offended at all and we re-grouped on vision and she had perfect venues to pick from a few days later. She made sure all contracts read well, explained verbiage, etc. Later on down the road, COVID was surging and our venue was not very flexible when we wanted to postpone. Kaisey helped talk us through next steps and when we said we wanted to explore other venues, she handled it quickly and with grace. I’m not sure what I would have done without her. She is a voice of reason, knows how to navigate any situation that could come her way in the planning process, and she does it flawlessly. We had to come to NC a few times to do tastings and other appointments and Kaisey booked all appointments and communicated with all vendors. Our wedding planning process was always seamless. We also had an issue with our original caterer who ended up going out of business and taking our deposit with them. Kaisey very professionally let us know and had recommendations lined up and ready to go. She is very prompt and responsive; any random question we had or concern she would handle. When I didn’t love my makeup trial and was too concerned with hurting feelings to speak up, Kaisey was my advocate and found a different artist to do my makeup the day of the wedding. She also lined up our initial engagement photo shoot with props in hand. She was able to let us know if prices vendors were proposing were unusual or a good deal. We also decided last minute to have everyone attending the wedding, including vendors, to take a rapid COVID test. She communicated with the vendors and helped us navigate. Day of was also a complete breeze with Kaisey. I felt like I had a fairy godmother around me all day. If I needed water, she knew and was handing it to me before I could ask. She made sure everything was in place on my dress. She bustled me after the ceremony. She made sure my dad had what he needed when he was feeling ill, she kept all wedding participants and attendees in line. I remember nothing going wrong the day of our wedding. We talked to her a week after and she let us know she requested a refund for an umbrella that wasn’t up to her standards. She was always compassionate, encouraging, professional, and graceful. She navigated one of the most stressful times for us and made it a breeze. If you are on the fence about hiring a planner, you should. And it should be Kaisey with Chad Biggs.
We hired Janna with Chad Biggs two weeks after we got engaged for full service planning and it was the best decision! Janna was there with us every step of the way. I had a very specific vision I wanted to come to life and Janna gave us the tools and recommended the perfect vendor team to make that happen. From beginning to end Janna helped us through every decision and over the last few months, has been our rock. In the few days leading up to the wedding, one of our important vendors got covid & a huge snow storm in Boston cancelled half of our guests flights. However, Janna did not blink an eye, kept me calm, and made any adjustments that needed to be made seamlessly. Even after we thought we would love 30-50 guests, we only ended up losing 6 but with every twist and turn Janna was there to smooth it out. I did not have to think or stress about anything on the wedding day and that's all I could ever ask for!
My husband and I had such a great experience with Kaisey! We had to postpone our original date due to the pandemic, but Kaisey was there to help us navigate that process. She was so helpful especially since we were planning our wedding from out of state. She went above and beyond coordinating with our vendors and making sure every little detail was ironed out. Our wedding day was perfect and everything we dreamed of. We could not have asked for a better planner to work with!
When we got engaged, I made 3 very important hires: our officiant, photographer, and Janna, our wedding planner extraordinaire. I cannot even begin to explain how lost I would have been without her. She was always available to answer a quick question or hash out a decision. The wedding world can be very overwhelming, but her expertise made the process so much easier to navigate. I enjoyed our planning meetings so much as she's not only such a joy to be around, but also incredibly organized, professional, and intentional. She talked me off several ledges, did not hesitate to warn against any of my "bad ideas" , and dedicated so much time to making sure I was on schedule throughout planning. Wedding day though, we wouldn't have made it through without Janna and her team. She was there to set up, take down, make sure every little detail was in place, coordinate with every vendor, I didn't worry about a thing. She thought of everything! Her demeanor on wedding day was so calm and collected and I could cry just thinking about the incredible support and peace she brought me- I'll be forever grateful for that.
Chad Biggs Event Planning and Design is hands down the most important vender you need to hire for your wedding day! My husband and I chose the partial planning package and worked with Janna. She was a joy to work with and helped us know everything we needed to do leading up to the event. The day of seemed like a breeze because Janna and her assistant had everything so organized and communicated so thoroughly with all of the vendors, wedding party, and guests as needed. My wedding also got rescheduled for a year later due to the pandemic and Janna handled all the communication with the vendors to get the new date secured. Save yourself the future headache and book this team- they are all fantastic!!!
The first thing we did after getting engaged was book Chad and Janna for our full service wedding planners and it was hands down the best thing we ever did!!
We had no idea how much was involved in planning a wedding like we wanted. Chad and Janna took our vision and mixed it with their design expertise to create the wedding of our dreams. Literally our guests were all saying it looked like a fairytale. Despite the stressful year of planning for covid, they were organized and on top of everything. They helped me navigate through the postponement and all of the changes that had to be made. We developed a friendship with Chad and Janna through the process and I truly felt like they treated it as if it was their own wedding. We were completely stress free throughout our engagement because we knew we were in the best hands.
If you are considering hiring a wedding planner look no further. They were seriously worth every penny and more!
10000/10!! After a 5 minute conversation I was in love with Kaisey’s sweet self and Chad!! They had it down to every single detail. If I couldn’t articulate what I wanted they already had the vision, as if they are in my brain or something they knew exactly what our vibe needed to turn into a fairytale. I promise you, having a planner isn’t something to just let your bridesmaid do, Boy would that of been a disaster! There is SO much that goes in to before the wedding and during. Every single step of the way Chad and Kaisey literally were spot on. I can whole heartedly say my wedding wouldn’t of been perfect if I didn’t have these two there with me. Don’t even think about another vendor, this is your sign to use Chad Biggs planners, but I’m pretty biased that you should request Kaisey!!!
Hire Kaisey, that’s all ! She’s the best
We recently were connected with Janna at Chad Biggs for our wedding planning needs and we could not be more thankful for her. She offers a range of services for every need and budget, and she exceeded all expectations along the way. Janna is professional, kind, flexible, and generous with her time. She is one of those professionals that makes you feel that you are her top priority when working with her. She is tuned into the specific needs of her clients and offers solutions that are just as specific as her client's needs. Janna is thoughtful in her approach to coordinating events and is extremely well-connected in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. Janna's insight, eye for design, and experience were the main reasons that our wedding went so smoothly, even during the crazy COVID-19 pandemic. Even 2 months after our wedding, guests/family/members of the bridal party are still singing her praises. Because Janna was a part of our wedding, I was able to focus on marrying the love of my life and celebrating with our family and friends instead of worrying about a timeline, a vendor, or a hiccup on the big day. Janna was a crucial piece of our wedding planning puzzle and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough!

Words can’t describe how truly amazing Janna is as a wedding coordinator and as a person! She made my perfect wedding day become a reality! Janna is extremely professional, kind, hard-working, positive, dependable, creative, and organized. I enjoyed every step of the wedding planning process. Choosing to work with Janna was the best decision I made for the wedding! I’m so glad I did the full-service option. I would literally make my budget around having Janna as a full-service wedding coordinator. She made the wedding planning process so much fun! It was never stressful or overwhelming thanks to her. Janna listens to what you want and helps create your dream wedding while staying within budget. Janna always goes above and beyond, and I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding dreams come true! She is a wonderful coordinator and an equally wonderful person.
Kaisey is amazing and that is an understatement!! I honestly can't say enough good things about her and what a joy she is to work with. Kaisey was involved in every step of the wedding planning process (even the dress fitting) and made sure that every detail was exactly what we wanted. Her joyous personality, organization, and attention to detail was a major stress reducer as we felt like she always had everything under control. She even took the time to get to know us so our day felt very personalized. On the day of the wedding, we both felt relaxed and excited because everything ran so smoothly due to all of the hard work that Kaisey and her team were doing behind the scenes. Kaisey took our very basic vision and turned our day into the beautiful and elegant affair of our dreams! If you want your wedding to be everything you have ever wanted and more, then you need to hire Kaisey!
Chad, Janna, Chelsea and team - THANK YOU. My wedding reception was delayed by a year due to the pandemic, so I’ve now worked with this planning team for more than two years. While I know their services are in high demand, I never felt like anything less than their #1 priority.
Janna, thank you for your phone calls, texts and emails before wedding day. I could not have had such a perfect event without you. On wedding day itself, she responded to every request with a “yes” you can count on. From removing a stain from my wedding dress, to making sure the band played a family-requested song, keeping my bridal party organized and on task, and hundreds of other details that likely went unnoticed because she makes it look easy.
Chad. Wow. You manage an outstanding operation and I can’t wait to watch your business continue to thrive. I know it’s been a challenging year for wedding planners and the wedding industry. Thank you for putting on a smile and handling my wedding with such care. You deserve every success.
Chelsea is a childhood friend. It was so special to have you there helping Janna on wedding day! You kept the train on the tracks. All three of you made this the most enjoyable day possible!

Janna Brown with Chad Biggs Event Planning and Design is the perfect wedding coordinator for making dreams come true. We had a connection from the very start. I cannot thank her enough for her hard work, dedication, and professionalism. We started planning my daughter’s wedding just as the pandemic unleashed its fury. Our decision to select the full-service option proved to be the best decision we made! Janna effectively navigated the challenges put in place by COVID-19, and we ended up with the perfect wedding! Janna helped us carve out a realistic budget and stick to it. She found the perfect vendors for us, matching our vision 100%! Janna knows what she is doing. She is professional, caring, organized, and focused on perfection. The wedding day was elegant, beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. Janna attended to every detail, and we enjoyed the whole day without any worries or frustrations. Janna is knowledgeable and effective; one would expect that from any wedding planner. Janna goes above and beyond that. I was amazed at how quickly she responded to any form of communication from us from the beginning to the end. Janna worked tirelessly to match our ideas to our vendors, down to the tiniest details. She handled any issues that came up with diplomacy and tact while ensuring that everything was just as we wanted. Janna showed that she genuinely cared about my daughter. Janna was not only the perfect wedding coordinator; she also became like family. I highly recommend Janna Brown (Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design). She is the very best and will work to make your wedding day the perfect day!
If you want to have the most fantastic wedding without any of the stress then Janna Brown with Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design is a MUST! I couldn't have gotten through the planning or our wedding day without her! Every time I thought I forgot something, Janna was two steps ahead of me! At the beginning I severely underestimated the work it took to plan a wedding, but Janna was always right there to guide me and handle absolutely everything the day of! Seriously - from coordinating with vendors, creating our timeline, running the rehearsal, setting everything up and SO MUCH MORE, she handled everything professionally and never skipped and beat! She was always kind, helpful, dedicated and prepared, as well as respectably assertive when needed! I highly valued her honest advice and opinions, especially when it came to the uncertainty during Covid. Throughout all the planning meetings, rehearsal and wedding day, Janna was our unwavering rock and guiding light who ensured that we had the absolute best day of our lives, and I will always be so thankful to have had her as our planner and coordinator!!!
We had the incredible fortune and pleasure to work with Kaisey from Chad Biggs Event Planning. There's not strong enough words in the english language to express how thankful and lucky we were to have her as our wedding planner. Throughout the entire process she was able to provide extremely valuable advice and expertise. She had a mastery of the wedding profession beyond what we knew was possible. We learned quickly how much we didn't know about the planning process, but Kaisey always had the masterful ability to guide us down the right path. She was incredibly organized and easy to get ahold of. The support she provided to both the wedding and us as a couple was phenomenal. We truly valued her role in the wedding not just as a talented professional, but as a overall great person - when the wedding was all wrapped up we both agreed that working with Kaisey was something we'd miss. We can honestly say that the wedding planning process was fun and with minimal stress, largely thanks to Kaisey. Couldn't have done it without her - eternally grateful!
Absolutely wonderful to work with. Janna, who helped us took care of every need we had. We even had to change from a large wedding to a small one and she handled cancelling everything that we could not use. Then the day of the wedding we had to move the location because of rain. Janna was right there helping us make all the changes. I could not have gone through this without a lot of stress without Janna! I highly recommend Briggs event planning. They are wonderful!
We are so very thankful and grateful to have Janna help with our wedding! I don’t think we could have done it without her. She is so amazing, super knowledgeable, and organized. With the unfortunate covid situation and not wanting to reschedule - this added on another layer onto our whole planning. Janna was a great problem solver and always thinking ahead with multiple suggestions/solutions that were perfect. And she was incredible at coordinating with all the vendors. We are so thankful Janna was able to make the planning and wedding so stress free. Our wedding and reception turned out to be everything and more than we ever could have imagined and wanted. Thank you so incredibly much!!! I highly recommend Janna and Chad Biggs Event Planning to anyone!
My husband and I consider ourselves VERY LUCKY to have found Kaisey Wilkinson as our wedding coordinator!! We have said many times during wedding planning and after the wedding that we don’t know what we would have done without Kaisey. She is so much more than a planner, she is a saint!! At every step of the way, she was right by our side ensuring that our day was absolutely perfect and helping us navigate all the intricacies of wedding planning (including the FOUR times we had to replan because of COVID-19).
It may sound like I’m exaggerating, but it’s true. She made planning such a breeze and was our savior throughout the entire wedding process. In fact, she single handedly saved our wedding day not once but TWICE. First, when she found us a new venue last minute and secondly when she helped us solve for a big hiccup the day before the wedding.
Please believe me when I tell you that on my wedding day, I wasn’t nervous or stressed out AT ALL. In fact, I was surprisingly relaxed the entire morning. Why? Because Kaisey had helped us plan everything out to the T and executed it with such ease that I had absolutely nothing to worry out and was able to kick back and enjoy the day.
Too bad I can’t get married twice, because I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
So, out of 5 starts...I give her and Chad Biggs Planning a MILLION stars.
With my type A personality and love of spreadsheets I thought for sure I could manage planning a wedding by myself and wrangle everyone and everything together perfectly, but our wedding would have been a nightmare without the assistance of Chad Biggs Events Planning and their Senior Planner, Janna Brown. Janna gave me a checklist that was a lifesaver, but meeting with her each time made us feel so much better. She was so helpful (and critical) in working with other vendors, developing our timeline, and all the day-of things that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. Some people might think coordinators might be expensive or an unnecessary wedding expense, but you will not regret having one because our wedding day was perfect thanks to Janna and Chad Biggs! As a funny side story, Janna really did it all for me and was hands down one of the most professional people I’ve had the pleasure to ever work with. She literally went above the call the duty to change my shoes for me while we were eating dinner and it’s a moment my husband and I still laugh about. We had almost 300 guests at our wedding and so many people were trying to come up to talk to us during our reception that we didn’t have a moment to breath. It was just about time to start dancing for the night and I knew I wanted to change out of my high heels and into some comfortable ballet flats. Janna fetched them from one side of the venue to the next and while I’m talking to one of our guests at our head table, she discreetly went under my dress and slipped off my heels and put on the flats like a pro. Meanwhile my husband and I were trying so hard not to laugh and I was having the most difficult time focusing on the conversation at hand while switching shoes. I wasn’t so successful, but Janna pushed through and made it happen because she’s amazing. That’s the kind of team you want helping you on your wedding day :)
Janna was so great and easy to work with! Although we hired her for day of planning, we got a LOT out of our package that really helped further out in the wedding planning process as well - and even after the big day. Our wedding day went very seamlessly, and we did not have to worry about a thing! Chad and his team brought great positive energy to our day that made it all the more better!
We had a long 18 month journey from booking a venue still under construction to hosting a dream wedding for over 200 people. Chad and Janna were with us every step of the way. We feel so blessed to have had Janna as our planner and would request Janna again in a heartbeat when our second daughter gets married!
Janna was the consummate professional. She promptly answered our questions, offered great suggestions and courteously directed the weekend’s festivities while corralling a very large wedding party. Janna worked tirelessly on both rehearsal and wedding day to ensure every detail was perfect. She made it possible for both my husband and me to be guests at our daughter’s wedding, something my husband was not sure I would be able to do as a control-minded ex-project manager. We had the utmost confidence in Janna. She did such a fantastic job that a recently engaged groomsmen said after seeing Janna in action he was going to make sure they carved out budget for a wedding planner for his out of state wedding!
Janna was more than a planner- she felt like part of our family.
We look forward to working with Chad Biggs Event Planning and Design again in the future.
Chad and his team were an absolute dream to work with! Chad has an amazing ability to get to know his clients and transform their personalities and visions of a wedding in to a truly spectacular day. I had no idea how to begin planning for a wedding or how I could translate some of the design ideas I liked in to a cohesive design, but Chad and his team made the process not only smooth, but enjoyable. During the wedding weekend, Chad and his team went above and beyond to take care of every detail and make sure my husband and I got to take in every moment and truly celebrate the occasion. Chad works seamlessly with every vendor and his collaborations with these vendors resulted in the most amazing details on our day! Two months later I and am still consistently getting comments on how amazing our wedding day was for our guests! 100% recommend Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design!
I worked with Janna at Chad Biggs and cannot recommend her and the company enough. I knew from the start I needed a planner, something more than just day of coordination, but not a full event planner. I met with Janna and Chad a couple of times throughout the process and couldn't have been happier! I also work in events and wanted to make sure I got someone with the same type of work vibes I have myself... cool, calm and collected. It was so relieving to find someone I knew I could 100% trust. From the day I signed the contract, to the time I left my wedding, I know I was in the best hands! It is absolutely necessary to book them, do not miss out!
Hiring Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design truly was the best decision my mom and I made throughout the entire wedding planning process! Janna was AWESOME to work with and made our lives so much easier. Several people at the wedding came up to tell me how great my planners were - they were super organized and on top of EVERYTHING the entire day. I would highly recommend Chad and Janna to anyone looking for a wedding planner - you will not regret it!
Daniel Varela was the best wedding planner! We couldn’t have gotten through the past year without him. He blew us out of the water with how professional him and his team were the day of the wedding by taking care of us and my family as well. He took the pressure off of us throughout the whole planning process. He would attend meetings for us and would report back with all the information. He was a huge supporter and would also keep me on my toes when I needed to finally make a decision ;) Daniel Varela is the best wedding planner out there.... you will not be disappointed!!
We had the pleasure of working with Janna Brown and her assistant, from Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design, as our wedding day coordinator! Janna was willingly involved throughout our ENTIRE planning process, and diligently answered any questions we had from months, weeks and days leading up to our wedding. Not only did she go above and beyond our expectations and needs as our day-of-coordinator, Janna also has excellent taste and style and even helped pick out our linens with the vendor! Janna is hardworking, very organized, personable and passionate about what she does, and made our planning process a breeze. Our wedding day was perfect and stress-free thanks to the knowledge and experience Janna carries, and we are so thankful we had to opportunity to work with Janna Brown and the Chad Biggs group. We will 100% recommend Janna and Chad Biggs Event Planning & Design to our family and friends for any wedding-related needs.
We got married just under a month ago at the Historic Wakefield Barn and Janna Brown was our Coordinator. First of all, let me say that she is absolutely the BEST when it’s comes to everything wedding related! Even though Janna was only supposed to be our day-of coordinator, she was totally available ANYTIME we needed her and was so interested and involved in our process. Her professionalism, organization and eye for perfection are totally unrivaled and I could not recommend her more. Thanks to Janna and the Chad Biggs team, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience!
Janna was incredible with issues at the barn and made my day so magical and Daniel was incredible helping me with dress issues!
Missed having Chad there!! You guys are the best!
Chad Biggs and his team are a dedicated group of professionals who went above and beyond to craft my dream wedding. Planning for a North Carolina wedding in Texas, I knew having a wedding planner would help ease the stress. I put my trust in Chad and his team and they delivered excellent results. Their communication was excellent; we had multiple phone conferences in order to discuss all details well in advance of the date. Chad's assistants emailed me confirmation of all details so I could review and make changes if necessary.
On the day of the wedding, Chad's team members were there to help during every step to make sure everyone knew exactly where to be. He coordinated with all vendors so I could be stress-free and focus on enjoying my wedding. He knew the venue (Rose Hill) very well, and was able to coordinate catering, linens, and all other on-site concerns beautifully.
I would absolutely recommend working with Chad for any event, especially a wedding. He is awesome, kind and has great style. The cost of a coordinator is well-worth it if you're working with Chad Biggs and his team!
Janna Brown with Chad Biggs Event Planning is a ROCKSTAR! She helped me every single step of the way. From my frantic phone calls, repetitive emails, stupid questions and so much more, she was by my side. I truly don't know what I would have done without her. The wedding day was 110% perfect and I know for a fact it wouldn't have been without her and the team. She is honest when it comes to vendors you wan to use. She will be on your side. She will help with hard decisions. She's there to listen to you complain about your mother in law. When I say she does it all, I'm being serious! I was lucky to have her execute my dream wedding, but I'm even more lucky to now call her a friend!
Chad and Janna go the extra mile to make the day all about the bride and groom and their families. Janna Brown is organized, thorough, responsive and kind. She has great instincts and quickly learned our style and what we wanted. She was calm when I needed a cool head and good advice. Thanks to Janna, we were always ahead of schedule; she planned carefully and anticipated questions and solutions. Her professionalism was always accompanied by warmth. As I interviewed vendors, they all had glowing things to say about Chad and his team. Their words made me feel so confident about my choice of planners. After a year of working closely with Janna as our planner and Chad as our guy behind the scenes, I can say that they deserve every bit of that confidence and praise. Planning the wedding was so much fun, and the day was beyond what we could have imagined.
There are no words to describe how wonderful its was working with Janna for my daughter's wedding. We only signed up for the Day of Coordination but received so much more than that. Janna was available anytime we had a question, and had suggestions and advice that were appreciated from the beginning. As the wedding day got closer the stress of it all was completely gone. As a mother, I was able to concentrate on my daughter and my new son-in-law's special day and enjoy the magnificent party that Janna helped carry out without a hitch. I'm sure there were many hiccups during the day but Janna handled whatever came her way and I knew nothing of it. She is the sweetest, most genuine, lovely lady but can also show who is boss. What a great quality to have in her line of work. Thank you Janna for making Brooke and Andrew's wedding everything we were hoping for and more.
Chad and Janna are top notch! I felt that I had a first class experience throughout the process. They have the most amazing style, and I completely trusted them to help make my wedding dreams come true. They are so sweet, flexible, and responsive. When my first wedding date was ruined because of a hurricane, they jumped into action and made sure that I had a new date and a plan within 48 hours! I didn't have to spare any of the fabulous details from the original day, and my rescheduled date went off without a hitch. What could have been an awful, stressful time was completely flawless because of them. You will not regret working with them!
Chad Biggs Event Planning is the best of the best! From the very beginning of the wedding planning process, they were always extremely helpful and attentive. Our planner was Janna Brown, who was just absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond on numerous occasions to help with our wedding planning (as well as SO many other things). She could always be reached via email, text, phone call and was extremely responsive and helpful! I can't say enough great things about Janna, and Chad Biggs Event Planning, as they certainly played a HUGE role in making our wedding the most amazing night possible. Thank you again to this incredible team!!!
Chad Biggs Event Planning helped us plan a wonderful day for our wedding! We appreciate the time, energy, and attention that went into making our day happen. This included meetings at our venue and calls to clarify layouts, linens, timelines, order of events, etc. We recommend using Chad and his team for your wedding and hope that the small issues that we did have will be resolved and addressed for future clients. Specifically, Chad was not as involved in our wedding as we would have liked and due to management changes at our venue, decided to pass the reigns to a younger member on his team. Additionally, as a couple who lived out of state from our venue, we believe that clear communication and involvement should have been magnified. At the end of the day, we had a positive experience and our guests never saw the hiccups that we dealt with - the week leading up was very hectic but the day-of went smoothly.
I wish I could express just how big of a role that Chad and Janna played into making me and my husband's wedding day perfect, but words won't even do it justice. They were able to turn around my previously bad experience with another planning group, and make sure that the entire day went exactly how I wanted/how it should have gone. Chad was amazing from the time I met him a year before my date. I could instantly tell just how creative, caring, and genuinely good he was at his job, and it showed through his work. His professionality, and talent also translate through his team, as Janna was excellent to work with. They were always open to every call, questions, text, email, etc that I threw at them. If it wasn’t for them, my wedding wouldn’t have been as beautiful and memorable as it was. If you are looking for a planning team that will work with you tirelessly, give you great wedding advice, and be just genuinely nice, look no further. Chad Biggs and his team will take your vision/dream and turn it into reality. I would 1000% recommend Chad and his team, you will NOT be disappointed!
I had the pleasure of working with Daniel from Chad Biggs’ Team. He was absolutely amazing! He was very professional, fun to work with, and on top of his game! He made my dream wedding come true!
I highly recommend the Chad Biggs team. Janna went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect! We received so many compliments from family and friends on how smoothly the day went.
Chad Biggs and his team are absolutely incredible! There are not enough words to describe how kind, genuine, and professional Chad is and how much effort and personal interest he invests into each and every wedding he is a part of. I feel so grateful to have had Chad’s help while planning my wedding, and having his help every step of the way during the big day. I can not imagine this process without him and I cannot sing his praise enough. Chad met with us, talked on the phone with us, and took care of anything and everything we could think of to make our wedding day the best. From making suggestions where needed and encouraging us to put our own personal touches into the details of our wedding, to coordinating our wedding day down to the minute, Chad is truly a miracle worker! We had a wedding party of 24 people and Chad and his team were able to get us through a seamless Rehersal in less than an hour. Not only are Chad and his team the most amazing wedding planners and coordinators, they are such genuine people with great hearts who become your friends throughout the process. I will ALWAYS suggest Chad Biggs to anyone I know getting married and I would encourage anyone planning a wedding to use his team because you can put your full trust into him. They are reliable and they are caring, Chad and his team will work day and night to ensure your wedding makes you feel like the most special couple in the world and that your wedding is everything you have ever dreamed of. Chad was there for my bridal portraits, to help my mom and I pick linens for the wedding, he made him self available for meetings whenever we felt like we needed one, and he offered a hand at every single point. I will always be thankful for Chad and his amazing team, they gave me the best day in the world and made it so much fun throughout the entire process, they are truly the BEST!
We could not have imagined Chad Biggs to not have been at our wedding. Him and his team, especially Janna Brown, showed absolute professionalism and turned a last-minute venue horror show into an elegant wedding of epic proportion. As we made the choice to leave our original venue with less than a week prior to our wedding due to poor customer service and unmet promises on the venue's part, Chad and Janna immediately set about communicating with other venues and our vendors to give us the day of our lives.
We found ourselves at Rose Hill Plantation in Nashville, NC on our date. I can't say which strings Chad had to pull to get us in as an event had already been booked for that afternoon. Regardless, him and his team orchestrated a miracle, setting up in the Nathan Hall with only a two hour window between the previous party and ours; the many stressful details of their day went unnoticed by guests as they kept an absolutely calm, professional, and friendly demeanor. Not enough can be said about the effort - and the hours - that he and Janna spent working on this. And throughout the entire process, my typically-anxious wife was comfortable because she trusted Chad and Janna and believed in their vision and ability. For a groom, I am sure, nothing is more relieving than knowing your future wife isn't stressed-out during the whole wedding process. Chad and Janna gave her the reassurance that it would be nothing less than special. And they DELIVERED!
CHAD is nothing short of incredible. He and Janna were instrumental in making our day a success and did not leave one stone unturned. Our wedding was a smashing success due to their help and expertise. If I had to do it all over again I would hire Chad and Janna again and again and again. They are the absolute best!
Working with Janna & the Chad Biggs team was the BEST decision I made for my wedding! I couldn't be happier with their services - leading up to the wedding, Janna made my life easier by responding to questions so quickly, working directly with my other vendors & just making the planning process seamless. During the wedding, neither myself nor my family had to worry about a thing because she & her team were on top of everything! It was dream & I would recommend this team to everyone I know! :)
