Sha Sha helped with the design and floral for our big day. The entire team was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! They are experienced, knowledgable, personable, and extremely professional. Every vendor they recommended to us were perfect as well! When it comes to putting on a killer event, they know their stuff! I was an out of town bride so I interviewed many coordinators and chose Loluma because of their reputation and experience and also Tiffany took the time to work up a preliminary budget with me to help us get started. It made such an impact that she was willing to take a half hour out of her day to contribute to my husband and I before we made a commitment to hire them. I am so happy our decision to work with with Loluma because our wedding was 100% flawless! Everything from the decor to the flowers and the lighting were absolutely stunning. The wedding itself ran smoothly without any hiccups. I cannot tell you how many gust complimented the entire event and said it was like nothing they've ever seen before and it was the best wedding they've been to. They did an amazing job carrying out all of my ideas. They also took so much off my plate that I had nothing to worry about but saying "I do" on the actual day. It was everything we were hoping for but BETTER! I can honestly say I would hire them again in a heartbeat because they helped us have the most amazing wedding ever!

Christina Baxter Wedding + Events, the best wedding planner in Charleston. Over the course of a…read moreyear, Christina and Dana became like family to us. From the very first interview, we fell in love with Christina's infectious personality and limitless enthusiasm for making our vision Gullah+Jamaica+Cinderella wedding a reality. We'd interviewed other planners, but Christina's warm spirit and instanteous ideas sealed the deal. Indeed, it felt like we were excitedly planning with an old friend and not our planner. Christina soon introduced us to her Senior Event Coordinator, Dana, who worked with us every step of the way to make sure the details of our wedding were set and mapped out. They were a full service team, helping us with every detail from the invitations to the centerpieces. And when our 325-person wedding ballooned into a 400-person affair 3 weeks before the big day, these two did not miss a beat. They re-designed the entire reception layout and coordinated with every vendor. This was a particularly massive undertaking because we got married at Middleton Place, with an original plan to use some of the site's tables and other settings. When the numbers increased, we had to move everything outside and everything, and I mean everything, had to be adjusted to accommodate the new plan. Despite the abrupt change, the wedding was magical. Every bride I know talks about the meltdown she had on her day or the mishaps that occurred. I had none. Christina and Dana masterfully corralled our nearly 50-person wedding party through wedding prep, pre-wedding pictures, and the wedding precessional. This included hiring a personal assistant to travel with me for most of the day until the reception. Not only was that person amazing and friendly, but as a former pageant consultant, she was able to keep all my girls on schedule, help me get ready, and served as the liaison between myself and Christina and Dana. It worked out perfectly. Their wedding staff was great, with individuals stationed at various points on the grounds to direct my party and the guests. In the end, everything was on time and consistent with our detailed schedule. 400 people moved seamlessly from one part of the grounds to the next. Musicians (including a trio, steel drum band, and singers) were on time and prepared with their necessary cues. Post-wedding pictures were handled quickly, leaving us time to hangout with our guests at cocktail hour. Our reception was exactly what we asked for - a massive party. And it was made possible by Dana's recommended DJ (there's a reason why DJ Natty Heavy is consistently voted the best DJ in the area - he was fantastic). They kept the party going and made sure we were in position to leave on schedule in our fabulous getaway car. In short, from the amazing design to masterful execution, they did a phenomenal job. My family, wedding party, and guests couldn't stop talking about our planners and how they helped us bring "Hollywood" to Charleston. In one instance, a dear friend of mine who is an event planner and once coordinated events for President Barack Obama, took me aside and told me that my planners were top-notch and doing an impeccable job. You cannot go wrong with these two. This team created a wedding day better than we imagined, they listened to us, and invested 200% in executing this event. Our only regret was not having a bigger budget so they could have handled the entire wedding weekend. Thanks Christina and Dana!

Having now worked with Cibi events I know that I was completely wrong - Cibi's choice of vendors, ability to obtain discounts from them herself, and efficiency with our time meant that we were ahead financially and personally, making her fee mute. We could never repay Cibi and Dana at Cibi Events for all that they did to make my daughter's and new son-in-law's wedding everything they dreamed of and more. It was the any of us have ever attended (an opinion shared by our guests despite the fact that many of them had weddings that were 5 times the budget ). Clearly Cibi provided additions and improvements that we did not pay for (surely coming out of her own pocket) to make the event even lovelier. Cibi and Dana are truly the ultimate professionals, with a remarkable eye to detail, exceptional ability to grasp the vision of their clients, impeccable taste, continual focus on service and truly unmatched ability to create an event that far exceeds one's expectation or imagination. And with all of that said, they are pure joy to work with, leading one to hope they might remain as friends.

I purchased a bunch of decoration and bachelorette stuff (shirts, straws, etc) and I mailed everything to Betsey about two weeks before the trip. Betsey decorated our AirBnB before we arrived with all of the decorations I sent her, she found an amazing balloon artist who did the coolest champagne balloon arch, fully stocked the fridge and planned a great boat day for us. Betsey was available to answer questions before and during the trip. I couldn't be more grateful to Betsey and Pop the Bubbly.

I reached out to Pure Luxe Bride for a quote for my wedding to see if they could work well with us…read more When we told them our budget they immediately shut us down saying that we would need a minimum budget of $100,000 to "be sure that when a client chooses to work with us that they are getting the style of weddings we produce and not something out of left field with vendors we won't typically work with or recommend" I found this extremely discouraging and not within the best interest of the client. In my opinion they should ask about our vision and consider what we would like our wedding to look like rather than putting a price tag on it. Therefore we went with another planner.

The ladies of Pure Luxe Bride are just on another level. Their designs are truly stunning and I…read morecould not have chosen a better wedding planner. One thing I really appreciate is how they make sure they are a good fit for a couple before working with them. Pure Luxe only takes a select number of weddings every year to ensure that the finished product is exceptional. I really appreciated that aspect of the planning process because I knew every step of the way that the attention to detail was a focal point and having experienced my dream wedding, they did not miss a beat. Pure Luxe Bride is a top tier wedding planning company and they do work with higher end budgets and book up quickly so inquire early! I wanted my wedding to be a show stopper and it was just that and more. If you are able to book them for your wedding it will be the best decision you ever make. I could not have been happier!

Meghan is one of my favorites! She has so many unique ideas for each client - and always delivers a product even more amazing than what I imagined. When it came time to hire someone to do invitations and day-of items for my own wedding, it was a no brainer that Meghan was our girl. I am somewhat of a "paper snob", but was worried that the aesthetic I wanted was too traditional or simple -- Megan helped me bring my ideas to life and executed my "simple" look into something beyond elevated. She incorporated gorgeous papers, fun textures and so much more. The overall product was SO reflective of us and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We still get compliments about our Save The Dates to this day! Safe to say, it made a great first impression for the wedding (: This is just one instance of where her work has had me smiling from ear-to-ear. I am so grateful to have her on my vendor team for my clients weddings, and can't wait for many more to come!! Book her for your wedding, you wont regret it!!!

We were a destination wedding from California & we had never visited Charleston before we started planning.
