Event planning services​

Not every celebration is a wedding, but every celebration deserves the same level of care. Whether you're throwing a milestone birthday, planning your company's next big event, or hosting a holiday party your guests will actually remember, Knot Too Shabby brings the same organization, creativity, and behind-the-scenes reliability we're known for on wedding days to your event too.

What we love helping plan:
  • Birthday parties
  • Bridal/baby showers
  • Corporate events
  • Anniversary parties
  • Holiday soirees
  • Surprise parties
  • Bar/bat mitzvahs

Why work with us
We've built our reputation on being the planners vendors and clients never have to worry about. That doesn't change just because it's not a wedding.
  • Fully custom planning and design, tailored to your event, not a cookie-cutter package
  • Ten-plus years of vendor relationships across Wilmington and coastal North Carolina
  • The same detail-obsessed, organized approach we're known for, so nothing falls through the cracks
  • A team that handles it all so you can actually enjoy your own event
​
​What's included
  • Custom event timeline and day-of schedule
  • Vendor sourcing, booking, and management (catering, entertainment, rentals, and more)
  • Floor plan and layout design for your space
  • Budget guidance and tracking
  • Design and styling recommendations (decor, theme, color palette)
  • Single point of contact for all your vendors, so you're not fielding a dozen calls
  • Full day-of oversight and execution
  • Sourcing of specialty or custom items (signage, backdrops, etc.)
  • Post-event breakdown and vendor payment coordination

What should you expect to invest?
Every event we plan is custom to you, so quotes are tailored to your specific vision and scale. Our event planning services start at $3,500. Reach out to start the conversation - we'd love to learn more about your event.
