“We were engaged in April, one of the first things my soon-to-be husband suggested was to take dance lessons.  I knew he was right, we were not good dancers!  I researched online, left messages to companies similar to Carolyn’s, but my calls were not returned.

Two weeks before the wedding I realized the dance lessons were not going to happen, we would just be going through the motions of the typical, boring first dance. That same day I received an email from Carolyn offering dance lessons to wedding couples. Thinking maybe she could show us a couple of moves in that short amount of time, I called. She responded back in minutes and we had our first lesson that weekend, two weeks before the wedding.

Looking back, I still can’t believe Carolyn was able to choreograph such a beautiful dance customized for us, at our skill level, in such a short period of time!

We have been together 15 years, our first dance song was Etta James “At Last.” Carolyn broke down each move based on the music, so we learned it quickly and it was easy to remember. We had a lot of laughs practicing, plus it was a good way to bond and enjoy the moment during the last two weeks of the pre-wedding chaos.

Our performance was the hit of the wedding! We did a great job and had so much fun. We are thinking we should try out for “Dancing with the Stars!”

Can’t thank Carolyn enough for all she did! She is extremely professional, a pleasure to work with, and has the patience of a Saint! I would highly recommend her to any couple that wants to have a great wedding experience and bring down the house with their first dance!”

“From the moment we met with Carolyn, she made us feel like family. Carolyn was professional, classy, and didn’t push but, offered her professional, expert insight, and formal training to what put the “icing on the cake” to our beautiful wedding reception. As a result of her loving and warm interpersonal approach, she has become a permanent part of our family. My wife Jessica and I highly recommend Carolyn Paddock’s services. You won’t be sorry!”

“Matt and I both want to thank Carolyn for working with us for the First Dance. Her choreography was great and she worked with us at our own pace. Everyone at the wedding told us our First Dance as husband and wife was the highlight of the evening. So again, thank you so much for everything!”

“Carolyn did an excellent job in choreographing our wedding dance with many creative moves. She was great in teaching us the steps and making sure our dance was the hit of wedding! After the “I do’s,” of course.” ~ Matt Taylor

“I just want to thank Carolyn so much for Everything! Everyone loved the dance!  People were in tears and clapping.  It was magical! The makeup was beautiful, but even more than that I felt God sent her there to be there for me. She took the place of anyone important who was not there. like my Mom!  God sent her to me and I’m so Grateful.  Also  Thank you so much Carolyn!”

“Carolyn-we are so grateful for your tutorage and choreography of our wedding dance! You made it so fun and easy for us to learn and practice during the busy weeks leading up to our big day- we hope you were proud of our results and would highly recommend your services to any other brides and grooms! We look forward learning more and keeping our connection.”

 

Also, thank you so much for the lovely make up application you did for me and my bridal party! You were such a positive and calming influence that morning too. I have gotten a lot of compliments and it stayed fresh all day! One reason my wedding pictures look so nice is that you did my make up and even helped with my hair and veil- many thanks again! xooxxo ~ The happily married, Vern Sibble and Donna Goldstein

“There is something so special about Carolyn, that words can hardly do her justice. Having a destination wedding can be very stressful, being you have to hire venders online, over the phone, and You Tube video accreditations. Our destination wedding weekend started off very bumpy, from the crushed wedding dress from our flight to Miami, the 3+ hours wait at the court house, to multiple pickups at the two different airports. Carolyn entered our lives on July 10, 2011. She embraced our chaos with grace, professionalism, and was instantly a part of the family. My maid of honor lost weigh during the weekend and her dress was too big, my gown was a wrinkled mess. Carolyn taught us how to steam the dress and take in the other dress. We are women of color of all various shades; Carolyn was able to do our makeup immaculately. I cannot recall my mother looking so confident of her beauty and happy. I think she floated across the room at times. Our wedding was very emotional we all cried, but our makeup still looked fabulous! Carolyn seemed to sprinkle magic dust on all of our faces. She brought calmness to the room.We relaxed and enjoyed several memorable moments. I highly recommend Carolyn; she has so much to offer and cares about her clients.”

“For my daughter’s quince (a Latin 15th birthday coming-out celebration), we wanted our daughter Elizabeth to do a dance with her father, and then her brother. Carolyn came highly recommended by our party planner/DJ, and she did not disappoint. We are a family with a busy schedule, and she was very flexible, coming out to our home in the evenings and on Sunday, and later the country club’s salon. She helped us choose music that pleased everyone, and choreographed a classic dance that was simply elegant and beautiful. The dance lessons were almost as much fun as the party itself! We laughed, we cried– and we learned how to dance. I highly recommend her as an instructor who is patient, fun, and flexible. I would definitely use her again for a party or event.”

“I met Carolyn on my trading group while I was looking for a make-up artist for my wedding. Not only did she show up on time, she also went out of her way to get me the veil that I needed. She got great products. I was worrying about the sweats from the hot flashes. Carolyn knew exactly what to use on me. Whatever product she was using took care of that and I did not sweat through the whole night and my make up was perfect. Everybody loves it and say that it looks very natural. So I was very happy with her work and her personality. I would definitely recommend Carolyn.”
