I consider myself to be a perfectionist and it's usually hard for me to relax and trust others to take care of things. Kala and Kara took all those worries away with their attention to detail and organization skills. During the planning of our week-long itinerary of events, they were extremely knowledgable, responsive, and helpful. We made several trips to Charleston and they scheduled hair/makeup trials, tastings, and meetings with vendors. They even attended several of them with us. We had multiple in person and Zoom meetings with Kala. She is SO much fun and you can tell she has a passion for making sure your wedding is exactly like you imagine it. We exchanged lots of emails with both Kala and Kara and they were quick to respond. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about anything. I was able to enjoy the entire day knowing that they had everything under control. Hiring MOD Events was hands down the best decision we made when planning this wedding. After seeing what a great job they did and hearing me go on and on about how invaluable they were, my cousin hired MOD Events for her daughter's wedding too. Thanks MOD Events Charleston! I am so grateful for you and the service that you provided for our family. You're the best!

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!

Working with Meghan at J Lily Designs is a dream!! As a local wedding planner here in Charleston, I…read morehave the pleasure of working with some very talented vendors. Meghan is one of my favorites! She has so many unique ideas for each client - and always delivers a product even more amazing than what I imagined. When it came time to hire someone to do invitations and day-of items for my own wedding, it was a no brainer that Meghan was our girl. I am somewhat of a "paper snob", but was worried that the aesthetic I wanted was too traditional or simple -- Megan helped me bring my ideas to life and executed my "simple" look into something beyond elevated. She incorporated gorgeous papers, fun textures and so much more. The overall product was SO reflective of us and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We still get compliments about our Save The Dates to this day! Safe to say, it made a great first impression for the wedding (: This is just one instance of where her work has had me smiling from ear-to-ear. I am so grateful to have her on my vendor team for my clients weddings, and can't wait for many more to come!! Book her for your wedding, you wont regret it!!!

With Tanis and Chauncey at their and my side the day was perfect.

She is very professional and she knows a lot about the wedding business. My husband :), was not too sure about hiring a full service planner but after he saw how helpful Tanis was, he was fully on board with hiring her. She is very organized and handled all contact with our vendors. She came with us to almost every vendor meeting and made sure everything went smoothly. 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. She did it out of the kindness of her heart. She truly is such an amazing woman and I would recommend her to anyone! She also did our draping and candy bar and they both were a hit!! She's got an awesome sense of style and she captured my gatsby theme perfectly! Thank you Tanis for making our wedding day so magical! Wouldn't have been the same with out you!!!

We thought that hiring a wedding planner would alleviate some of the stresses of planning a…read moredestination wedding. Unfortunately, that was not the case in this situation. We're getting married in December on Kiawah Island. I grew up going there, sometimes spending entire summers there, so I know the area like the back of my hand. However, considering that neither one of us had any wedding planning experience, I thought that we would greatly benefit from the help of a professional. We hired Katherine Miller events because I liked her portfolio, the proposal sounded great, and she seemed very detail-oriented. Boy, was I wrong. She presented us with a wedding checklist, which was something similar to what you would find on The Knot, but it was never really discussed. I let her know that I'm used to deadlines, yet I rarely knew what she was working on, if anything at all. As the client, I didn't feel that I should micromanage the process, but I can't just blindly trust that things are getting done. This led to me doing most everything on my own and occasionally providing her with updates. When you're spending 20% of your budget on a full service wedding planner, it makes sense to be disappointed about this. Communication was sparse and haphazard-- an example of this was when she let me know that she would check on a tasting date with the caterer the next day (6/29), and I didn't hear back from her until 7/13. When we addressed these issues, she acted defensive and inflexible. She never even picked up the phone to call us. I really do believe that she thought she was working hard, and maybe our definitions of working hard are just different. At the end of the day, I never felt that she took the time to get to know us. I'm not sure if it was the fact that we were "out of sight, out of mind," or if our budget was too small for her to concern herself with. (She said that she discounted the cost of her services to fit in our budget. That's not something that I would tell a client.) To recap: When the wedding planner is the most stressful part of wedding planning, it's time to cut ties. Even if that means only getting a refund of $500 and being out the remaining retainer of $1,500.

If there was the option to give more than five stars to Katherine Miller events, I absolutely…read morewould. My husband and I were planning a destination wedding and were having trouble keeping our hands around everything. We had a hard time conceptualizing everything we wanted to do and really needed help -- LOTS of help. When we found Katherine, everything changed. Our loose ideas about what we wanted on our wedding day were transformed into cohesive, beautiful concepts. She helped us with everything, from proofreading our invitations to keeping us on track with to-do lists. Whether it was flowers, linens or which table to remove from our floor plan, Katherine had a recommendation. She was flexible to be a part of our planning meetings anytime we came to Charleston and was more than happy to talk by phone at any hour of the day when we needed her. One of the most valuable things to me was that our wedding coordinator get to know both me and my husband so that our day was a reflection of us, specifically, and our relationship. Katherine made sure that everything (right down to our wine-cork-handle cheese knife favor!) perfectly reflected us as a couple. I found Katherine to be really helpful with making sure things kept moving. She kept us on task about when we needed to make final decisions on things, when our next payments were due to vendors, when we needed to confirm headcounts -- anything. If ever I felt stressed out, I called her and we'd talk about whatever was concerning me. When my husband wasn't sure what he needed to do and when, she made sure he picked out his tuxes, vests and ties before they needed to be rushed. She was there no matter the emergency (like when our rehearsal dinner venue told us they'd double booked our date) or the need (like navigating through the floral requests of my mom and aunt). She's quick to respond on email or by phone. I never had any issues communicating with her about anything, even minor stuff like "Where can I get maps of the area for my guests?" (In fact, when I asked that, she shipped us 100 guide books on Charleston to include in our welcome bags!) During our wedding weekend, Katherine was at her best. No matter the challenge (like when rain caused a reception tent gutter to collapse during our cocktail hour or set-up being delayed a day because of high winds), she handled it flawlessly. When a bridesmaid called the morning of the wedding because her dress was the wrong shade of green, Katherine calmed her down and helped her find one in her size in the right shad. I was clueless about any hiccups during our wedding day -- I didn't even know rain was predicted! -- because Katherine made sure that I enjoyed and soaked up every second of the day. Looking back on our wedding, there is absolutely nothing we would change. We had a flawless wedding day that reflected us perfectly (and an enjoyable, fun time planning!) because of Katherine. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding in the Charleston area.

Beth at WildFlowers did the flowers for our December wedding on Kiawah. She was really nice,…read moreresponsive, and professional, so I'm not going to blast her, but I have to say that we weren't 100% satisfied with how things turned out. Flowers were not a top priority for us (food and photography were), but obviously I wanted them to look nice. My requests were as follows: simple, seasonal, and romantic. Admittedly, I didn't know much about flowers, so I made a Pinterest board for Beth to follow. The prices seemed reasonable for wedding flowers (unfortunately, $100 & up is normal for bouquets unless you DIY) and her delivery fee was $75. The invoice sounded great and I felt like we were on the same page. The bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were beautiful and received a bunch of compliments. My issue was with some of the flowers at our reception. The invoice described them as "vignettes of assorted vintage bottles with blooms and mini vases with blooms." They turned out looking like weeds in bottles, as you can see in the picture I've included. I felt embarrassed and disappointed, and I still can't figure out where the miscommunication occurred. My advice is to proceed with caution and make sure you know exactly what you're getting.

Some of the flowers that we kept still look absolutely amazing and I can't say enough about what an amazing job she did even though I had to hire her (issues with other florist) only two and a half months before my wedding. I will be sure to post as many photos as possible once I get some professional ones from our photographer so Yelpers can see what an outstanding job she did. I live in Las Vegas and had a destination wedding in the Charleston area, so I was only able to correspond with her via email and telephone, and she went above and beyond what I expected. From what I have seen of her portfolio and what she did for my intimate, but VERY heavily floral wedding, she has got to be about the best florist in Charleston. As long as you have a clear vision for her, and have realistic expectations, and MOST IMPORTANTLY give her the creative license to make something she is inspired by, you will be stunned by her work.
