My husband and I worked with Parris/Eventfully Chic by Parris for our wedding and she was…read moreabsolutely the best wedding planner we could have asked for! I have said countless times this was our dream wedding, but if we did one thing differently it would have been to hire Parris for the rehearsal dinner too! My husband and I both have demanding work schedules, however Parris was incredibly understanding, accommodating, and communicative. This helped make a potentially overwhelming process fun and exciting every step of the way! Even more importantly, we are not originally from Columbia and so we were not well versed in the available vendors or venues. Parris listened to our visions for both the wedding and rehearsal in addition to taking the time to get to know us and what specifically we may want. Because of this, she was able to recommend and coordinate incredible venues/vendors/decor ideas that gave us the most incredible, meaningful, special, and gorgeous wedding that was beyond what we even imagined. She truly is a wedding planner you can trust- and on a day as important as this, she is the kind of planner you want.

Covid cancelled our plans and Parris was a wonderful source of expertise and support through that time. From helping us get our marriage license so we could still marry in the covid shutdown all the way to our May 1, 2021 "re-do" event she was organized, competent, and confident. We had significant issues and disorganization from our venue and Parris helped us navigate that in ways we wouldn't have even known we should do. Highly, highly recommend working with Parris for your next event!

Joan Day did such an amazing job planning our wedding. I know it's a cliché thing to say, but we…read moretruly couldn't of done it without her. My wedding date was placed right in the middle of Andrew being stationed over 1,000 miles away & my final semester of nursing school. Joan took all the weight off and made the planning process so fun and easy. She was very responsive at all times and adjusted things depending on my husband and I's preference - even at the last minute! The day of the wedding, she was a lifesaver. She kept everything timely yet flexible. I remember one mom specifically when the DJ was calling for the bouquet toss and I started running to grab my throw bouquet but Joan was right there when I turned around with it. I highly recommend Joan for everybody! She truly helped our day be the best that it could.

To say that Joan was a Godsend is an understatement! She is solely responsible for my sanity!…read moreImagine not only planning a wedding from out-of-state while recently starting a new demanding job, but also having a global pandemic dumped on top of it! That's the backdrop for our August 15th wedding. From my first conversation with Joan, I could tell that she was a kind and sweet soul. She assured me that planning a wedding from out-of-town would not be an issue for her. Her pricing was reasonable (and looking back, probably a steal given all the work she did) and she even offered a nice discount when booking through WeddingWire. Our first in-person meet up was fantastic as she was able to arrange for meetings with ALL the major vendors and schedule a tour of the venue. As stated, this was extremely helpful and efficient because I did live in another state so meeting time was limited. From the very beginning she made it clear that she was willing to work within whatever budget we were comfortable with and proved this when she went above and beyond to find more cost-sensitive vendors when initial ones were out of our budget. She is extremely attentive to details and thought of all kinds of things that only an expert in the field of weddings would even consider. I could always easily contact her via text or email and she was always willing to hear my ideas, review images and help to execute my vision. To say that she is organized is an understatement. She was an excellent record keeper, maintaining spreadsheets and providing diagrams and timeline handouts for vendors and the wedding party. Although an extremely stressful time in anyone's life, COVID definitely added some additional twists and turns that we never anticipated but with her help, we were able to navigate each hurdle. Anything that I needed handled was done so expeditiously. My day went perfectly, the theme came together just as I imagined and I would definitely recommend her services. As icing on the cake, the weather all week predicted a high probability of rain, specifically at the time of the ceremony, however there wasn't a drop of rain from the time we started the ceremony to the time we finished. I'd like to think Joan had a little talk with God for that one haha. I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for an experienced, effective, enthusiastic planner who will make your dreams come true!

Also not to mention their red velvet cookies actually contain chocolate not just a basic flavor with red food coloring like most red velvet things are. I will be needing that recipe lol. Everytime I speak with the owner it is always pleasant, and they always come through with the desserts. The box itself contained a rice crispy treat chocolate covered blonde Oreos, two homemade lollipops, two cake pops, and 8 cookies in total. 4 oatmeal raisin and 4 red velvet, which were all good. I would definitely check them out, and their prices are very affordable too. They try to get you the best price for any event you are having or personal needs. Will definitely be ordering again from them.
