MEET HAINES

With a creative eye, an engineering mindset, and a calming presence that instantly puts people at ease, Haines brings a distinctive blend of strategy and heart to luxury event planning. As the founder of Significant Events, she’s known for designing celebrations that feel effortless but are executed with meticulous precision—grounded in logistics, elevated by the client's unique style, and always led with warmth and intention.

At Significant Events, we do more than plan beautiful weddings—we craft experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless. Whether it's an intimate celebration or a full weekend of events, we specialize in weaving together thoughtful details and genuine connections. From elegant weddings and mitzvahs to elaborate tented celebrations, every event is a reflection of your story—curated with care, and brought to life with intention.



You have a vision. We have the expertise to bring it to life.

Pinterest is fun, but you’re even better

Every client is unique, and we celebrate that by designing weddings that are truly one-of-a-kind. From the grandest moments to the smallest details, we craft personalized celebrations that reflect your distinct style and story.

rooted in southern hospitality

At Significant Events, we embody the warmth and graciousness of Southern hospitality, delivering a personalized and attentive wedding planning experience that reflects the charm and elegance of Raleigh and the Southeast. Our commitment to genuine care and thoughtful service ensures your celebration feels both luxurious and warmly inviting.

You deserve a process that’s stress-free

When it’s time to celebrate, your only choice should be whether to toast with champagne or take the dance floor first. With our exclusive connections to top wedding vendor in North Carolina and beyond, we eliminate decision fatigue—so you can relax, savor every moment, and get ready to dance the night away.


03

We could not recommend Significant Events enough!

Haines was a sense of calm, kindness, and organization  after a year of planning. She executed the day EXACTLY how we envisioned and more, and we wish we could get married all over again just to work with her!
