Mr. Vickers was a pleasure to work with during the whole process into fruition of our little wedding, and we both loved the ceremony that he put together. He truly went above and beyond. We will forever cherish the memories that were made during our big day, and Coastal Hospitality played a huge part in making it as wonderful as it was. In fact, we received several compliments from our friends and family members who attended the wedding. I would recommend Mr. Vickers' services to any couple looking for a professional officiant who is easy to work with and open to suggestions.

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.

We loved having Palmetto Wedding Films be a part of our micro wedding at The River House at Lowndes…read moreGrove in May 2019. Jessie was a true pleasure to work before, during, and after our big day. We selected Palmetto Wedding Films because of the drone footage & two cameras throughout; videos that include vows, speeches, toasts, and music; that you receive both a short-film (~3 minutes) and a full-length film (~1 hour) - both in high and standard resolution formats; and last but not least, the reasonable price point. Jessie also went above and beyond by returning all of our videos within our short eight-week window. We loved Palmetto Wedding Films and would highly recommend!

Reviewing a funeral home is never something you want to do, but honestly, it could really help…read moreothers during a difficult time--so I wanted to share our experience. My father-in-law passed away unexpectedly, and he didn't have anything planned locally in South Carolina. We had to quickly figure everything out and put together a funeral on short notice, which is incredibly overwhelming. Overall, this funeral home was very good. The facility itself could use some updating, but it was clean, and the staff was extremely kind and welcoming. They truly helped take a lot of the stress off our shoulders by handling the majority of the planning and guiding us through the process. That alone made a huge difference during such an emotional time. A special mention to Derek (I believe that was his name), who helped us during the wake and funeral--he was absolutely fantastic. He was professional, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the services. One piece of advice for others going through this--look into purchasing a casket from Costco. The quality is excellent, and it's significantly more affordable than what's typically offered. Funeral homes are legally required to accept outside caskets, and this can save a substantial amount of money during an already expensive time. Overall, while this is never an easy experience, they helped make a very difficult situation much more manageable, and we are grateful for that.

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.
