Wedding planning

A planner, a designer and a plan you can read.

Choose the level of help you need. Every level includes a written timeline, a weather plan and vendor insurance checks.

I.

Full Planning & Design

For couples starting with a date and a feeling. We build the whole plan with you.

  • Budget plan and live tracker
  • Venue search and up to 4 guided venue tours
  • Vendor shortlists, contract review for logistics, booking
  • Design direction, stationery and table-setting plan
  • Guest logistics: hotel blocks, shuttles, welcome bags
  • Rehearsal direction and full wedding-day management
II.

Partial Planning

You've booked the venue and a few key vendors. We finish the team and shape the day.

  • Planning review and gap list
  • Remaining vendor recommendations and bookings
  • Design and floor plan
  • Timeline, rehearsal and wedding-day management
  • Monthly check-in calls
III.

Wedding Management

You've planned it all. We take over eight weeks out so you can be a guest at your own wedding.

  • Handover meeting and vendor confirmations
  • Final timeline and floor plan
  • Rehearsal direction (up to 1 hour)
  • Lead planner plus assistant on the day, up to 10 hours

Design direction

Palette, paper and place settings — decided early, written down.

We hand your florist, rentals company and stationer the same board, so the day looks like one idea.

    Clear boundaries

    What we don't do — and who does.

    Saying this plainly keeps your wedding legal, insured and calm.

    • Alcohol. We never supply or serve alcohol. Your bar is run by a licensed caterer or bartending company, or by the venue under its own license. We collect their liquor-liability certificate of insurance.
    • Marriage licenses. Issued by the county Probate Court, with a waiting period. We share the checklist; you apply. We don't give legal advice.
    • Beach & park permits. Issued by the city or town. The permit is yours or the venue's to obtain, or appears as a quoted line item in your proposal.
    • Insurance. We recommend third-party wedding insurance but don't sell it.
    • Vendor contracts. You contract and pay most vendors directly. We review logistics, not legal terms.
    • Licensing. South Carolina does not license wedding planners. We list credentials only for the named people who hold them.
