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 look back at my wedding photos and wedding experience often and realize that my carefree day (the…read moreday of the wedding) would not have been the same without the amazing help and coordination from Direct My Day. I had planned my venues and selected vendors (for wedding ceremony, reception, florist, etc) but I needed the hands on help for day of the wedding (someone to set up the wedding favor table, to keep me on track timeline wise, someone to take flowers from church to reception, someone to ensure that musical talent was in place AND more) and Direct My Day coordinator/planner did that. Amazing experience. Worth every penny.

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!

Just as a backstory, my husband and I live in San Diego and got married in Charleston. I work 40…read morehours a week and am on-call an additional 40 some weeks. My demanding work schedule made calling vendors hard, and then when you add the time difference from east to west coast-- impossible. After some google searching, I found Sweet Peach Planning. I think their familiarity of working on both the east and west coast made me confident they'll be able to work with my schedule, and it did. We decided on a modified full planning package offered by Sweet Peach Planning and it exceeded every expectation of mine. Megan had great organizational skills. She brought many different contracts and other paperwork to our zoom meetings that were relevant to each topic of discussion. This made me feel present in the planning process even from 2,500 miles away and being unable to see things in person. Everything was thoroughly explained so I was informed of all the small but important details of my wedding day. Megan knows Charleston well, so she was able to find the most perfect vendors for our wedding theme/vision including rentals, a florist, hair & make up, and a cake. She printed out our signage and also made different personal touches, like a hand written mirror and our cake topper. Megan is friendly and easy to talk to. I always felt comfortable expressing my opinion to her even if it was something I wanted to change or didn't like. She was a very calming presence and I never once felt overwhelmed with the wedding planning process. She made sure we stayed on track with my timeline the entire day, which was super helpful since it felt like time was moving so fast that day. During my wedding ceremony and reception, the team made sure everything ran so smoothly. Madison was a great help all day/night. She was able to generously run to the pharmacy for me and also kept my phone and personal belongings safe. She took some candid photos on my phone so I had immediate memories of the night, which are some of my favorite pictures to this day. There were two additional associates who helped set up the venue and organize group photos, which were fabulous. A bunch of my guests even told me they never saw such a well organized event! Thank you so much Megan and Sweet Pleach Planning!

If I could go back in time and give one recommendation to my partner and I about wedding planning -…read moreit would be to have hired Sweet Peach Planning for full planning services early in the process. Megan was the absolute essential ingredient to making this wedding happen and be the most beautiful day we could have imagined. First and foremost - we knew we loved Megan right away from how honest she was with us. When we booked her, we wanted to hand everything off to her as a planner. She explained we were so far along in the process and had booked so many of the main vendors that she wouldn't want us to waste our money - but she'd recommend her coordination services instead. Megan went above and beyond everything I expected to have in a coordinator. She helped us with decisions, brought up questions for us to ask or suggestions to tell vendors about things we would have never thought about. She was available whenever we needed and even joined us for a few vendor meetings to ensure everything went smoothly. She even offered many of her own decor items (table numbers, windows, and candles). It is very obvious that Megan has tons of experience. Our photographer and venue both commented about how great working with Megan was and how she is so organized and experienced - so it isn't only on the client side, but the vendors she works with that also see how amazing she is. Very last minute we decided to book a videographer. We sent his website to Megan, who raised some concerns about something feeling off about the website and she explained it felt like a scam. Like dummies, we booked them anyways... only to get scammed because this videographer wasn't real. It all turned out okay (we got our money back, etc) and Megan handled it all beautifully. But, at the end of it - we wished we would have just listened to Megan's gut! She really knows her stuff and has a great ability to spot a good vendor vs. a fake one :) The day of - Megan was a rockstar. She directed family members, vendors, the bridal party, and anyone that had questions - all with a smile on her face. She was such a calming presence and we were so relaxed knowing Megan had it under control. We are so incredibly thankful for Megan and her Sweet Peach Planning team and honestly could not have pulled this wedding off without her.

I just got married a few weeks ago and used A Charleston Bride/Carrie Glasscock to help coordinate…read more Perhaps I had lower expectations that I should have going into planning assuming people are out more to take advantage of rather than to help the bride, but I have nothing but the best things to say about the team! Working with Carrie was an pleasure - so much that I wish I could plan my wedding again and again! (Who knows, maybe she'll start doing birthdays and anniversaries). She works with dozens of different brides across the spectrum of style and taste, and she was able to quickly hone into and *deliver* my vision to perfection ... despite not even knowing what that was myself when I got started, and lacking the "wedding decor vocabulary" I would have liked to have. Carrie has the perfect temperament for the job, and inspires confidence in even the most anxious and picky brides. I was planning my wedding from across the country, so plenty of reasons to feel insecure about vendor management. She is incredibly prepared (my younger brother got ill and had to be taken out during the service and all anyone could talk about after the fact was that before they even got to the back room, Carrie was there with bottles of water and granola bars!) She is positive and helpful (my lipstick was misplaced between the ceremony and reception and she and Lee took the situation just as seriously as I did! :-)) And she has great taste (helped me choose bridesmaid dresses and an absolutely stunning floral palette). In summary, she supported me in creating a beautiful wedding and helped me feel confident and relaxed on my wedding day - focused on the right things!

As the Mother of the Bride, I was thrilled when our daughter chose to book Cacky's Bride + Aid to make her wedding day flawless. Never did I imagine how invaluable Cacky would be to our daughter! She met us at the final fitting and was incredibly familiar with the bustle and other aspects of the fitting. Cacky was absolutely amazing to our daughter. Her ability to fit the wedding dress was very skillful. Her professionalism in handling all the little details while taking care of the Bride was extraordinary. No detail was overlooked! The incredible thing was that Cacky was so wonderful to me as well. It is a big day for the Mother of the Bride and she was there for anything I needed. From ironing my dress (which could not be steamed) to sewing the belt on the junior bridesmaid's dress when it didn't fit, Cacky had it covered. Her ability to anticipate every need of the Bride while being so in tuned to the Mother of the Bride was absolutely incredible. Cacky made our daughter's wedding and my Mother of the Bride experience truly special. She was a true blessing. Book her today!! Becky B. Mother of the Bride June 15, 2024

This lady LOVES paper work and I think that is great!! She keeps track of all contracts and notes every little detail to ensure nothing is missed!! (This really helped out when we had a vendor who did't show up to our wedding) She even came to help me with my bridal shoot and that was something that was not required in the services I paid for.
