Volare Planning (Caroline) Was the Best!

I cannot say enough about how awesome Caroline was through the whole process of planning our wedding! She is very detail oriented and cares about the planning process, making sure everything is just right. It was very obvious to us that she knew exactly how to plan a wedding and make the couple feel special along the way. She went out of her way to take care of us not only on our wedding day, but at all the meetings and venue walkthroughs before. She was flexible with meeting times, attentive to all the small things that were important to us, and had great music and photographer suggestions that were fantastic. Looking back on our special day, she was one of the main reasons it went so perfect and we couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Wonderful planner

Simply stated, hiring Volare was the BEST wedding decision my daughter and I made. Caroline had our best interests at heart at all times. She patiently guided us through a maze of decisions. Her recommendations were spot on and she went out of her way to advocate for us with vendors. Our trust in her was well placed. She was easy to get in touch with and addressed every concern or question promptly. For every hiccup that arose, she had a workaround or suggestion that only a seasoned professional would think of. My daughter and I had NO idea of the amount of planning and attention to detail involved in wedding planning. You really don’t know what you don’t know. With so much money involved, it’s smart to have someone advising you and making recommendations that help you stay on budget. There were so many moving parts and without Caroline… well, I shudder to think about it! The wedding was BEAUTIFUL! There were sooo many compliments. Everything ran so smoothly and it seemed effortless. We know the amount of time and planning that she put into it though. Her attention to detail is ASTONISHING! She’s thinking 12 steps ahead of everyone. Every detail, whether logistical or design, was carefully planned and executed. The wedding day was stress free and joyous for our family because of the work she did leading up to the day and the actual day of. If you’re reading this review, I assume you’re looking for a wedding planner. Here’s my advice….Hire this talented woman! If you’re looking for a professional that knows her stuff, your search is over. You just found her. Lenora EreviaRead Less

Amazing Planner!

I am so so impressed and thankful for the services Caroline and her team provided as my wedding planner! I started my wedding planning late and Caroline quickly got me on track and in contact with multiple wedding vendors to get the ball rolling. She has so many connections to vendors she trust, which really helped me narrow down the top tier vendors I should be using. I had some issues nailing down the design vision I wanted, but she did a ton of research and really made my vision come to life on the day of the wedding. It was a breeze working with her on the design board and through vendor meetings as she was really able to communicate the vision I was going for. Caroline kept me on track and the tools she provided were so helpful in keeping all things wedding planning organized. From RSVPs to vendor payments it was so handy having everything in one place we could both access. Walking into the wedding ceremony and reception was a dream. She handled everything so professionally and executed the wedding to be everything I could imagine and more! Volare was the most important vendor on my wedding day. I am so incredibly happy I chose Caroline as my wedding planner!

Caroline Gollner
Owner

My passion for weddings and events has existed for as long as I can remember, as etiquette and southern traditions alike were an interwoven fabric of my childhood.

As a young adult, I ventured to New York and found myself immersed in the culinary industry and later in bridal fashion by working for some notable New York bridal designers, and so began the obsession of all things wedding! But, interior design school was the icing on the cake that made event design my life’s work.

When I'm not planning weddings and events, I tend to recharge with travel. Immersion in diverse cultures, fine art, culinary arts, and architecture, continue to broaden my perspective, challenge me to push boundaries in my craft, and adhere to a philosophy of design innovation.

It is a privilege to help couples like you discover their signature wedding style, as we create a once in a lifetime experience together.
