Founder of Mint To Be Weddings

CAROLINE ZANEY

Head Designer and Coordinator

I was born and raised in south Charlotte and am proud to be a southern gal! I grew up in Steele Creek, which most would argue is "south of south Charlotte" or "pretty much South Carolina." Growing up here was ideal because it allowed me to enjoy and explore the beauties of both North & South Carolina.  Much like the rest of my family, I am outgoing, short, hard working, and have a large sense of humor!

I have always enjoyed planning events, even when I was a child. My passion really grew when I attended Appalachian State University in 2009 though. I knew I wanted to make a career in event planning so I established myself in a Communication major and minored in Entrepreneurship. It wasn't until I organized a surprise 25th Wedding Anniversary for my parents that I knew I wanted to focus on weddings. I fell in love with celebrating others love and that was it!

After that, I promised myself that I would find my way into the wedding industry. I took an internship with an event planner in Boone, NC, which eventually turned into my first wedding assistant job. I worked with her for a little over a year at venues all over the High Country area and fell further in love with weddings and being a part of others "happily ever-after." 

Shortly after, I had the pleasure of working closely with another wedding planner at a resort in Boone. She constantly encouraged me to use my own creativity on weddings and even had me plan and execute a few Rehearsal Dinners myself. I eventually took all Rehearsal Dinners and Corporate events off of her hands and became the resort's Corporate Events Coordinator.

Hey! Like Caroline and Lydia, I was also born and raised in Charlotte! (Fun fact, the three of us are also Appalachian State graduates!) I first met the Mint Girls in 2019 when I was a sophomore in college. They were coordinating a friend of mine’s wedding, and I realized then and there that I would love to do wedding planning as a career! Then, in 2020, I began with assisting on weddings, and the rest is history.

I have always been a huge people person, and I always knew that I wanted to incorporate that into whatever jobs I did. I love the idea of not having to work in the same space every day. I also love traveling and experiencing new people and places. I am so excited to be a part of our clients’ wedding days because it is such a special day in their lives, and it’s so fun to see all the design and planning come to life on their big day!

MORGAN HANEY

Lead Designer and Coordinator

I first met the Mint Girls when I was working as a venue coordinator in the Charlotte area and the connection was instant. Like Caroline, Lydia, and Lauren, I also grew up in the Charlotte area. I have a passion for helping others and I knew joining this team would be an amazing experience. I love coming alongside my couples on the most important day of their lives. As a planner, I strive to be the calm voice, encourager, and advocate. My in my free time you can catch me with a book in my hand or training for an upcoming race! With my organizational skills, kind heart, and enthusiasm, the planning process and wedding day is sure to be memorable.
