He was a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day and onsite. Chris went above and beyond by learning our first dance song and making song suggestions for the father, daughter dance. Chris is a true professional that required no assistance or guidance throughout the planning process and wedding day. He was a trooper with the many song requests throughout the night and was the MC for the special moments (i.e. bride & groom entrance, cake cutting, dances, etc.). We were worried that our small wedding (21 people) wouldn't have much dancing but Chris kept everyone on their feet until the end of the night. We'd highly recommend Chris for your wedding or party needs!

We thoroughly enjoyed the company of Aaron and Jill during our photo-shoot -- completely no awkwardness; something one might expect from engagement photos. Actually, we had a blast! They accommodated all of our requests with an extremely positive attitude and their suggestions proved to the best photos we had during the shoot! Their choice of location for our shoot was stunning - a place they scouted in advanced and personally picked to "match our style and personalities." Ha! Their responsiveness was amazing. Jill responded to all calls/texts/emails within minutes. Even the turn-around for the photos post-shoot was super quick! The quality of the photos were AMAZING! And I'm not sure what they did to touch them up... but Stella and I looked FINE! Aaron and Jill are truly masters. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Aaron Nicholas Photography for your next event.

They told us we HAVE to have them photograph our big day, we won't regret it, and it's so worth it. We are so so so happy we did and couldn't have thought of our wedding day without them. Jillian is so quick to respond, give amazing suggestions, and help with everything wedding related. She feels like she is your bestie from day one! Aaron is super chill, talented and all of the guys loved him! They make an amazing team!Every picture looks like it is out of a magazine and they are all completely stunning!

If you want photographers you can trust, choose them! We can't say enough about A&J. We love you both!

I recently visited Charleston for a bachelorette party and thought it would be fun to hire a…read morephotographer for a group photoshoot. Charleston is BEAUTIFUL, and I wanted to capture that. I had an idea of starting at Rainbow Row, and when we were contacting photographers, Ron was quick to respond. Not only was he the first to respond, but he had the best response. He was knowledgeable of the area, connected with my vision, and had other ideas of where to take our shoot that I felt confident that he was the one we wanted to work with. Then we had the actual shoot and it could not have turned out better. Ron is experienced in directing his subjects and has creative direction -- which is really appreciated. We aren't models, we don't do this on the daily. It was really great to work with someone who was experienced, confident, and kind. I would definitely work with Ron again.

Not only was Ron completely professional and easy to work, he made the day even more fun than it already was! Being photographed can be a bit of a hassle (we do the same group photo at Christmas every year and everyone hates it!) but Ron was so patient with us and kept things rolling so we could enjoy all the fun! He listened exactly to what my sisters wants were for the day and had wonderful ideas, creative shoots and the best photo booth I've ever seen! Ron makes you feel great and that reflects in the photos, all of which turned out amazing! And we were a large group (10 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, and the happy couple!) I'm sure photographing so many for more intimate photos is not an easy task, but he pulled it off! Most importantly, he made sure to capture just how beautiful my sister is in the photos, along with her personality and the happiness between her and her now husband! Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

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.

The setup for the event had several seats in front of the stage (not a raised platform). There are plenty of couches and cushioned chairs along the walls, all facing the stage. Even with the furnishings, there was enough space for vendors to set up and display their art. The kitchen is in the back with a counter and a large dining table with additional seating. Finally, the restroom is through the double doors. There are paid meters in the parking lot, but I parked in front of the brewery and walked over to the studio, just about 30 seconds away. I had no issues parking there since it was early in the morning. Overall, great space! I would recommend the studio for anyone thinking about hosting a creative event.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
