Purposely Designed Event Planning - Charlotte, North Carolina

Brittney Ruth-Johnson

My husband and I had our wedding in August 2023 which Patrice was our wedding planner. She stepped in when we had to let another planner go due to creative differences and Patrice made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted! I’m a detailed person so I REALLY loved that she provides detailed instructions to the entire wedding party and vendors for where they’re supposed to be and what to do down to the minute! She brought vision to life (including displaying our mother’s actual wedding dresses during the reception) and remained calm through the whole process. Would definitely recommend her services if you are in search for an event planner!

Absolutely stellar experience with Patrice at Purposely Designed Event Planning! As photographers with Fancy This Photography, we recently had the pleasure of capturing a wedding she orchestrated at the stunning Rickhouse in Durham, and it was nothing short of exceptional.

From the moment we arrived until the last shot was taken, Patrice's dedication to perfection shone through. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the event was flawlessly executed. From the layout of the venue to the timing of each moment, Patrice left no stone unturned.

One of the most impressive qualities about Patrice was her promptness. She was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs as photographers and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her ability to stay organized and on top of every detail was truly commendable, making our job as photographers that much easier.

Working with Patrice was a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, creativity, and passion for her craft are evident in everything she does. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to bring our vision to life.

If you're looking for an event planner who goes above and beyond to create magical moments, look no further than Patrice and Purposely Designed Event Planning. Five stars doesn't even begin to cover it!

She did a terrific job planning our dream wedding! Patrice listened to us and helped us communicate with our vendors. She provided a detailed schedule for each day that helped us ensure the most important components of our vision were included. Most importantly during the day, she made sure everything ran smoothly and my husband and I were happy!

Patrice is super warm, patient, and has an eye for detail. She was professional and punctual. Please consider using her as your planner!

If you are looking for a Wedding Planner, I encourage you to look no further. Patrice is next level. She is patient, she is kind, she has great ideas and is ORGANIZED. I met Patrice 10 months before my wedding and from the first conversation, I knew she was the right planner for me. Patrice pays attention to the details, she is a great listener and is skilled at keeping you on track from the beginning to the end. I received so many compliments the day of my wedding about Patrice as well as the professionalism of her team. I would highly recommend Patrice to any bride.

This event planning company truly deserves way more than 5 stars!! Purposely Designed helped bring my wedding vision and dreams to reality. We always knew we were going to hire a wedding planner, but when I found out I was pregnant a year before my wedding I just knew I needed the best and most accommodating company. Patrice helped support and ensure I remained on schedule for my wedding planning so I could focus on my pregnancy and then newborn. My wedding day was perfect, Purposely Designed coordinated with all of my vendors and wedding party to allow me and my husband an opportunity to relax and enjoy our wedding day. If you’re searching for an event planning company that turns your event dreams to reality while taking stress off of your plate, Purposely Designed Event Planning is your company!!!

The decor was absolutely stunning and set the perfect ambiance for the celebration. Guests couldn't stop raving about the beautiful setup and delicious food. It was clear that every element was thoughtfully curated to ensure a memorable event.

Working with Patrice was seamless and enjoyable. She communicated effectively and made sure everything ran smoothly. We look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to host a flawless event!

We booked Purposely Designed Event Planning for Partial Wedding Planning services and we had such a wonderful experience. Patrice helped us navigate some very unexpected changes but her professional, attentive, and resourceful guidance helped us overcome every challenge we encountered during the process. Patrice is an excellent planner and she is dedicated to making sure your wedding day is everything you imagined it would be. Our special day was most certainly designed with PURPOSE and for that we give so much thanks!!!!! We highly recommend Purposely Designed Event Planning 🙂

Patrice was the Wedding Planner for a weeding where I was Maid of Honor. She her team were very pleasant and approachable. Prior to wedding day, provided a run of show to all members of the wedding party so everyone knew where to be and the series of activities. She and her team were also always available to us for miscellaneous things throughout wedding day.
