I cannot recommend Trent, Ashley, and the entire Something Fabulous team enough! They made the planning process so smooth, easy, and fun. They are knowledgeable, great problem solvers, your biggest cheerleaders, and they know how to throw an amazing party! We ended up using them for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding, and it was truly the absolute best weekend of our lives. Our friends and family could stop talking about how lucky we were to have Trent running the show on wedding day, and we agree! We could not have had such an incredible wedding weekend without Something Fabulous!

Trent was the freaking BEST!!! Our wedding ran so smoothly thanks to him and his team. He truly took all the stress and worries away. Communication with him was so easy -- he always made himself available. From our initial meeting to the day of the wedding, he was always free to answer any questions and give very helpful tips/opinions. He put a lot of care and attention into our day and I will forever be grateful for him! He was very detailed, super fun and caring, and helped this type-A bride relax and not worry about a thing! I highly recommend Something Fabulous for any planning needs! You will love them 🙂

One of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding was hiring Something Fabulous Weddings and Events. Tommy organized everything with such care, resulting in a flawless timeline for our big day. He and Christina did an incredible job with the décor, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Thanks to their attention to detail and professionalism, we were able to enjoy every moment without worries.

We hired ‘Something Fabulous’ for our wedding in Currie (just outside Wilmington). Despite the distance from the triangle area, Ashley and Trent were with us every step of the way. My (now) husband and I were totally lost and overwhelmed with everything that goes into planning a wedding so we decided on their full planning service. I’m so glad we did! I had a million ideas and I felt like I was all over the place. Ashley and Trent helped me organize all of those ideas in a tasteful, but cost-efficient manner. As someone that can get carried away way too easily, the budget planner was a savior throughout the entire planning process. With Trent and Ashley’s help, we stayed on budget without compromising any of the visions we had for our big day. On to the wedding day…it was so perfect and exceeded everything I had ever dreamed of. Kari and Brittni were our coordinators for the day and they absolutely killed it. They were consistently attentive and knowledgeable. They made sure I had a drink in my hand all night! I also had a lot of random items I had brought for the welcome table, memorial table, favor table, etc. I didn’t really even know how I wanted it all set up so I gave them creative freedom and the final products were gorgeous, cohesive, and functional. Three things I’ve always heard about weddings:
1. Planning is stressful.
2. There’s a lot of moving pieces that go into a wedding and it’s almost inevitable that something will go wrong on wedding day.
3. They’re expensive.
Our experience with ‘Something Fabulous’ taught us that these things can be avoided with the right planning team. Looking back on the planning, I do not remember feeling overwhelmed or worried because I knew Trent and Ashley had it handled. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I certainly didn’t notice. The day went by so smoothly! Everything and everyone was on time. Setup and breakdown was efficient and simple despite all the little (and some big) details I wanted to be included. Our wedding was only as expensive as we wanted it to be. We told Ashley and Trent our budget and they made sure we stuck with it. That was a great feeling to have at the end of our wedding day knowing it was perfect without breaking the bank. So many of my guests have expressed how flawless and fun our wedding was and that is in large part due to the amazing team that ‘Something Fabulous’ is!

This team is the best! We loved the Something Fabulous team from our introductory call because of their fun energy, attention to detail, and ability to navigate complex wedding dynamics. We got so much more than we could have ever hoped for with this incredible team. Our wedding day was stress-free because of all the little details SF handled. Our space looked beautiful—we brought in some décor and the team set up the room better than we could have ourselves. Trent confirmed all the vendors before I could even think to do it—even ones I forgot should be confirmed. When we had a button mishap 30 minutes before the ceremony, the SF team appeared with a sewing kit to save the day. Trent was our lead planner with Brittni as the supporting planner. They made sure we (and our guests) were well taken care of all day. We also were able to add on to our contract so that SF helped our “Silent Disco” afterparty. Tommy was the planner for that and made sure the pizza was delivered, everybody had their headsets, and that people knew when the buses were coming. I can’t speak highly enough of the SF team. They guided us on the little details that we didn’t even think about and answered bigger questions like how much we should tip our vendors. We are still getting compliments on how seamlessly our wedding ran, thanks largely to Something Fabulous. Their energy on wedding day made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I can’t recommend them enough!

Working with Trent, Madison, and Abby for our October 2024 wedding was an absolute joy! Madison went above and beyond to help us bring our wedding vision to life and ensured that we could fully enjoy every aspect of our special day. Her attention to detail and expert coordination made everything run seamlessly (including saving the day getting a bad makeup stain out of my dress 15 minutes before the ceremony!). One of the biggest stress relievers was her taking over all vendor communications in the weeks leading up to the wedding, allowing us to focus on our families and the excitement of the moment. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend Something Fabulous to any couple planning their wedding!

My wife and I had initially tried to plan our wedding on our own. We had developed the macro picture in our mind perfectly, but there were still many many small details and logistics that were causing us enormous amounts of stress.

If you are currently planning a wedding and are feeling overwhelmed, Trent and Ashley are the perfect fit for wedding planners! They put us at ease within the first five minutes of our initial meeting and finally took the stress from months of planning and organizing on our own off of our shoulders. We wished we had contacted them much sooner!

With our Day Of Coordination Package, they provided the needed guidance and structure in order to execute a truly unforgettable, organized and seamless wedding day. In the weeks leading up to the big day they gave us a detailed final “to do” list to help us ensure that no stone was left unturned and they took over the duties of calling all of our vendors to establish themselves as the main point of contact. The package also included a final meeting with Something Fabulous and the manager of our venue; This meeting provided us with the opportunity to come together as a team in order to review our wedding day itinerary to make sure all logistics were in place.

Our favorite aspects of working with Trent and Ashley were their fabulous personalities and their abilities to maintain structure with the wedding party and guests; while also making everyone laugh and enjoy the process! We were also incredibly impressed with their decorating and how they were able to bring our vision of the wedding to reality and make it better than we could have imagined!

Hire them! You will not regret having a wonderful team to support you and your vision for your wedding and they will help you to have fun during the process!

Something Fabulous is an amazing company to work with! We hired them for our wedding and their communication was flawless from start to finish. We were able to email and ask questions leading up to our first in-person meeting, which was so helpful with our planning process – to have that resource available. We were provided checklists, suggestions on vendors, etc. It made the planning process easy for us with their help. We worked with Trent, and we are so glad to have him help us with our special day. His attention to detail is top notch, his easy attitude makes him so great to work with, and he helped keep our wedding on track. We are still talking about how working with Something Fabulous is at the top of the list of best decisions (and money) we made when planning our wedding. My husband was hesitant to hire a wedding planner, but after our first meeting with Trent, he was 100% on board. I have and will recommend Trent and Ashley to anyone I know who needs a wedding or event planner.
