She was so kind, helpful, fair, honest and such a pleasure to work with! Since we were planning the wedding from out of state, we really valued her help, not only because she's amazing, but also because she is a local. We also felt that Pinnacle's prices were incredibly fair. There were never any hidden fees or extra charges. They were extremely professional and seriously made our dream wedding come true! Austin was our DJ and he took the time to talk to us on the phone and make sure he got to know us and that we would be happy. He was so great to work with and was extremely prepared and so very talented! We also love that professional mics and an amazing sound system and lights were included in the package. They far surpassed the other companies we had researched. They are professionals and truly know and care about their equipment and putting on the best possible party. They are prepared and did an incredible job! We love Pinnacle and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a planner and or a DJ! We highly suggest you get the wedding planner and DJ both from Pinnacle! They are outstanding!!

They were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, ensuring all my questions were answered promptly. The quality of their rentals was absolutely perfect, and the wedding arch was especially beautiful, this added a perfect touch to our ceremony. One of the highlights was their early delivery, which gave us extra time to set up and make sure everything was perfect. Missy, who i believe is the owner , went above and beyond by waiting out the rain to ensure everything was in place and ready. the dedication and kindness made a significant difference in our day. On top of their fantastic service, they offer very reasonable prices, making them a great choice for anyone looking for quality and affordability. Thankyou so much!

The owner, Ali, is incredibly talented and has a great eye for adding just the right amount of detail to pull everything together. These ladies are professional, creative, and were able to provide above and beyond what I expected from an event planning service. Not being all that artsy or original myself, I was relieved that I was able to entrust Ali to take my mish moshed description of what I thought I wanted and turn it into something amazing. Seriously, without Ali my version of the husbands birthday party would have likely involved me singing an off key happy birthday and then throwing glitter in the air. No one wants to attend that party. No one. Having employed their help on two different occasions, I can't sing their praise enough!

I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online…read moreform and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product.

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family…read morephotos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos!

My wife and I truly enjoyed working with Barbara for our wedding. We wanted something simple and…read moresmall, but we still wanted something elegant. Barbara understood perfectly what we were looking for. She is flexible and helped us build exactly the elopement package we were looking for. Everything was taken care of, all we had to do was walk to the site from our hotel and try to look nice. The photographer Barbara arranged (Nick Milak in Charleston SC) was professional, enjoyable, and extremely talented. My wife and I did exhaustive research both within Charleston and other locations for small weddings and elopements - you really won't find a better deal than Barbara's services, and yet we found that she did an excellent job. She's even able to accept credit cards on site so you aren't bogged down with the financial arrangements etc on your big day. We wouldn't change a thing about the wedding Barbara helped arrange, and we would recommend Elope to Charleston for anyone getting married in the area (she does weddings as well, not purely just elopements). In short, Charleston is one of the most picturesque and perfect cities to be married in. Elopement is not for everyone, but we definitely think we made the right decision (and countless friends have told us they wish they'd eloped or had a smaller wedding in retrospect). If you're looking for a small wedding in Charleston, you've found your gal.
