My husband and I couldn't be happier with our experiences with Lauren. She is a kind-hearted,…read morefun-loving soul with a passion for photography. Her style is soft and airy, and the fact that she uses both film and digital is mega-cool and gives her photos a diverse look which is refreshing. Also, the way she uses light is SO. YUMMY. We had our engagement and wedding photos taken by Lauren and she was a joy to work with. She kept us feeling very comfortable and natural, even in the most unnatural of situations (i.e. kissing every 10 seconds in a busy park in San Francisco). She loves to laugh and that helps keep the mood light and fun, but she still remains professional throughout. She was willing to travel for our sessions: to SF for our engagement shoot and Seattle for our wedding. She listened to our needs and captured exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding guests commented on how friendly Lauren was, but at the same time, she possesses a masterful command over the guests to ensure that we were able to get the photo combinations we wanted (i.e. bride + extended family, groom + extended family, college friends, etc.) in a timely fashion so we could enjoy our wedding day. Check Lauren's portfolio out if you're looking for infinitely memorable photos that will have you smiling for years afterward.

Lauren is an absolute dream! She is so energetic and welcoming and has one of those amazing "never…read moremet a stranger" personalities! She makes the whole process comfortable and fun and genuinely wants to capture the most special moments of your day. She has such a talent for natural light and candid moments which made for the most beautiful wedding photos we could ever wish for. She has such a passion for her art and we are so grateful we could share in her gift on our wedding day!

On the evening of my daughter's wedding, it rained. We ended up being delayed due to the rain. The…read moretwo were to play during the time of 5:30-6:30. They were to play during guest seating and the ceremony. Due to the rain that started at 5:30, they wouldn't play. Although, they were completely covered (which was stated as a need during rain). The wedding planner asked them to play although the guests weren't being seated (standing around due to delaying the ceremony). Once they agreed to play, it took another 15 minutes. We were also told it would be an additional $50 for every 15 extra minutes they were needed (I did know this was in the contract but it says nothing about inclement weather). In order to give my daughter what she dreamed I agreed to do that if needed. The musicians never said they were sorry for the problems. Also, we haven't been offered a refund for the time they did not play. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I have attended several weddings, rehearsal dinners and corporate events in the Charleston area and…read morehave had several opportunities to hear Palmetto Strings perform their musical magic. The husband and wife team of Mike and Lauren Williams are multi-talented and bring their wonderful love of performing to each and every event since 2007. Both classically trained violinists they both received their BA degrees in Music Performance from the College of Charleston where they met, married and immediately started their local music business ~ East Cooper Music in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Mike's degree includes a concentration in jazz violin which makes him a multi-talented performer for sure. His love of the electric violin adds a groovy beat and jazzy feel to his music. The couple prefer to hand-pick the best musicians in the Charleston area and are very well known around town. Palmetto Strings offers String Trios, Violin & Cello Duos, Guitar and Violin, Harp and Solo Piano just to name a few! At a recent wedding reception this summer I had a chance to hear the Guitar & Violin Duo featuring Mike Williams and his Dad Bob Williams. They added a perfect touch to the evening with their soft Pop and Classic Rock tunes and Jazz Standards. Palmetto Strings also assists with Ceremony Audio which is often forgotten by many hosting an event. DJ level speakers are available for dinner music based on the client's playlist. The Palmetto Strings website allows you to hear sample audio of what is in their repertoire. If you don't hear a song on their list they will gladly work to arrange songs for your special occasion. www.palmettostrings.com Wedding Wire and The Knot highlight Palmetto Strings with excellent reviews! Palmetto Strings has my vote!

He was responsive, so polite, personable, and everyone loved him - we've been married a little over two weeks and I am still getting compliments on how great the DJ was. The entire experience with Epic Charleston was such a dream! Nick listened to all of my neurotic requests and stayed patient through our brainstorm session and delivered exactly what myself and my husband had envisioned. He played exactly what we wanted to hear, none of what we didn't want to hear, and things we didn't know we wanted to hear! We got married March 17th, 2018 at the Oldfield Club in Okatie, SC. Nick made our experience so easy and was always very responsive. I HIGHLY recommend Epic Charleston! ps - if you're conflicted or worried about this ONE negative review, I highly suggest checking out Epic's Knot reviews. Seriously one of the best decisions we made with the wedding was working with Nick!

Not So Epic. Im writing this to share the experiences we…read morehave had booking a DJ for the wedding a couple months ago. Im the sister of the bride and and was with her during this from start to finish. I actually found this company for her. She was worried about writing a review because she owns a small business, and didn't want retaliation. My review is similar to others I have read after the fact, but this is what we dealt with. EPIC Charleston was on all of wedding websites during our search. After inquiring with them the bride received ALOT of emails, follow ups, and a very aggressive emailing/follow up campaign. Everyone thought they were just through (not the case) and we decided to book. They asked for 100% of her money up front which was strange. The pricing was by far the highest they were quoted and we thought thats because they were going to really make the evening special. After the contract was signed and the FULL amount paid, no one heard from them for months and months. Everyone called, emailed, and never got a response. I was so upset because I found these people and wasn't even sure if anyone was going to show up and we started to panic. We started looking at other DJ companies just in case we never heard from EPIC. Less than 2 weeks before the wedding, they finally responded to one of our emails as if it was no big deal and nothing was wrong. They were short and arrogant but at this point we had no choice but to just go through with it. They also changed the DJ again, noone knew if anyone would really come and who actually was the DJ. As far as the DJing goes, it was mediocre, at best, and NOT worth twice the amount other companies were charging. Watching everyone panic and suffer because of this was a nightmare. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND THE STRESS!! There are other companies that were much more affordable, probably a lot better, and might actually respond to you. Noone should ever have to go through this!
