Whitney Davis

I love a good celebration and the sense of belonging when people come together for a common purpose. From gathering around the table, to toasting job opportunities and new homes, to baking fresh chocolate chip cookies and enjoying a new season of a tv show, I love getting to share in that joy.

I’m married to the best guy, Michael, and we welcomed our son, Alden, to our family in July 2019! We also have a fur-pup, Barley, who we absolutely adore. I’m obsessed with traveling, attempting to keep houseplants alive, eating at restaurants, cooking a new recipe exactly as written, and choosing between 100 paint samples I’ve taped to the wall for house projects.

I love so many things about a wedding but what I adore most is the beginning of a marriage. The reception is a fun, beautiful, and curated party but the ceremony is the reason for it all. It’s a reminder of why I do what I do when a couple is so in love, making forever promises to one another, surrounded by their best friends and closest family in a picturesque setting. On wedding days, I am honored to see a raw, emotional, and very real glimpse into the lives of our couples. I love that I get to experience their story during the planning process and help them bring it to life in one thoughtfully designed and authentic day. When that day comes, the bride, groom, and their loved ones, get to live fully in each moment without a single stress or worry.

My Favorite Venues in the Triangle are: The Parlour at Manns Chapel, The Bradford, and The Carolina Inn.

what whitney’s clients say —

“Whitney Davis is a Dream! There are hardly enough good words I can use to share my experience with C&D Events and our planner, Whitney Davis. It brought me peace of mind to go into meetings with Whitney and be so in sync with our questions and details - especially in regards to contracting other vendors and services during the pandemic. Not only was she detail-oriented, a master timeline creator, and committed to our vision, but she was also a complete joy to work with throughout the entire process. As a testament from the groom, when my husband and I were making tough decisions about our wedding, we knew that we were going to have to give up some of our original plans... one thing we both agreed we couldn’t give up: Whitney! One of my favorite parts of working with C&D is that I felt confident in their team of insanely talented professionals. During our check-ins, Whitney would constantly say things like “our team has been brainstorming” or “we have figured out a way to do this safely”. Due to their collective creativity and experience, I knew that I was getting the benefit of not only the planner I hired, but the entire C&D team and their network of industry professionals. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had and how perfect the evening was! Thank you Whitney and all those at C&D!”

“Whitney went above and beyond to help with so much, and thought of everything! I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in charge of all the details as things got close, and it allowed us to have time for each other and our family/friends. It was easy to relax and enjoy our wedding, knowing that everything would be taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about where to be or what to do - she and her team made sure that everything happened like it was supposed to. We also loved that our family and wedding party could relax and enjoy things as well. We couldn’t believe how smoothly the entire wedding went, and all of our friends and family were able to enjoy the day. Many people told us afterwards how much they enjoyed things and our families in particular were really happy with how the entire day went. Everything ran perfectly and we cannot thank Whitney and her team enough for making our special day so great!!“
