Did you set the start column in the model to be a carbon instance? If so its just
$event->start->toDateString();
Or what ever format you want.
Also use Carbon::parse($start).

Calendar model
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Calendar extends Model
{
protected $table = 'calendar';
protected $fillable = ['title','description','start','end','allDay','color','url','category','repeat_type','repeat_id','user_id',];

Carbon doesn't have any documentation?
Edit: I found out it does have documentation. http://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/

To automatically have an Eloquent field converted to a Carbon instance add it the the $dates array in your model.

Use 'F j, Y' for the format string instead of 'Y-m-d'
Carbon / DateTime objects use the same formats as the php date function.
