Critical reception

There is one Wedding Planner Mystery movie, which premiered on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel in 2014. It is based on the first book of Deborah Donnelly's Carnegie Kincaid series, "Veiled Threats".

The movie has received mixed reviews. A review on Mystery Scene Magazine describes it as a light, airy, forgettable, something we don’t have to think about but will enjoy while we’re in the moment. Think about a marshmallow. And that would be fluffy, marshmallow-like The Wedding Planner Mystery. The review goes on to say that the movie contains a number of clichés and unrealistic plot twists, but is fun to watch, and that the wedding planning aspects of the story are well handled and the charming Carnegie so winningly played by [Erica] Durance makes up for a lot.

A review on IMDB describes the movie as "clean and fun", and another review on TV Guide states that "as she works to clear her name, [the wedding planner] learns an important lesson about love".

However, the Mystery Scene Magazine review also says that "this Pacific Northwest town must have the stupidest detectives to make Carnegie a person of interest. And anyone who has read a mystery—or seen Jessica Fletcher in action—will spot the villains and holes in the plot".
