Carice Coleman is an event planner, logistics lover, and certified calm presence who lives for a good plan, a great meal, and an espresso martini. As the founder of Pinnacle Affairs, she manages weddings and events of all sizes, ensuring timelines stay tight, vendors stay aligned, and hosts get to fully enjoy the moments they worked hard to create.

A Virgo through and through, Carice thrives on organization, thoughtful details, and color-coded systems, balanced by her love for travel, food experiences, and all things pink. She is also a former pageant titleholder, having held several titles, among them Miss Black Virginia, Miss DC Collegiate America, and Miss Old Dominion USA. Those experiences shaped her confidence, leadership style, and appreciation for presentation and poise.

Carice holds a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications with a concentration in Public Relations and a master’s degree in Strategic Public Relations. Whether she’s managing a complex event, speaking on a panel, or connecting with clients, she brings warmth, humor, and intention into every space she enters.

When she’s not planning events, you’ll likely find her exploring a new city, trying a new restaurant, networking with fellow creatives, or advocating for inclusive celebrations that feel as good as they look.

Pinnacle Affairs is a wedding and event planning firm that manages celebrations of all sizes, styles, and levels of complexity. From intimate gatherings to large-scale productions, casual affairs to highly refined experiences, we approach every event with the same level of care, structure, and professionalism.

Our work is rooted in strategic event management. We guide the planning process from vision through execution, overseeing logistics, timelines, vendor collaboration, and guest experience with intention and clarity. We believe strong operations create the foundation for meaningful events and allow creativity to shine without overwhelm.

At the center of our work are four guiding principles: elegance in every detail, expertise in every decision, refinement in every experience, and inclusivity in every interaction. Wedding and event planning should feel just as intentional as the celebration itself, shaped by trust, thoughtfulness, and care for both the process and the people involved.
