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.

I look back at my wedding photos and wedding experience often and realize that my carefree day (the…read moreday of the wedding) would not have been the same without the amazing help and coordination from Direct My Day. I had planned my venues and selected vendors (for wedding ceremony, reception, florist, etc) but I needed the hands on help for day of the wedding (someone to set up the wedding favor table, to keep me on track timeline wise, someone to take flowers from church to reception, someone to ensure that musical talent was in place AND more) and Direct My Day coordinator/planner did that. Amazing experience. Worth every penny.

Janet was absolutely wonderful, perfect, responsive, positive and 150% there for us throughout our…read morewedding planning process and week of. We hired Janet for both her wedding planning and floral services. We could not have asked for a more perfect rehearsal dinner and reception. During the planning process, Janet made us feel comfortable and was always there to answer texts, emails, phone calls and in-person meetings. She was always in a great mood, giving us all of her attention. She listened and also gave us the feedback and guidance we needed. All of the little things you don't know or think of, she helped every step of the way. Even when I felt like I was bothering her, she made me feel calm and let us know everything was under control. When I walked in our rehearsal dinner at Goldbug Island, my mind went straight into "STOP WORRYING AND YOU CAN NOW ENJOY THIS" mode. Everything from the flowers to the setup of the tables...every detail was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. And I was able to get ready on site at our reception and saw how she had transformed Alhambra Hall before everyone arrived. I was speechless. She really made every dream and vision I had for our wedding weekend come true. Every flower, picture, wreath, plant, chair, linen was breathtaking. I know she worked so hard that week, and it certainly made every bit of worry and stress go away for us so we could enjoy the actual celebration the weekend was made for. We are so grateful for Janet. We recommend her and would be more than happy to serve as a reference if needed. Thank you, Janet for making our wedding so memorable and perfect :).

Janet is an absolute delight!

Betsey is amazing! I was in charge of planning a bachelorette party for 8 girls in a city I have…read morenever been to. Thank god I found Pop the Bubbly! 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. She made the trip amazing and memorable for the bride and the whole tribe!

We chartered a sail boat for three hours and had a private chef come to the house to cook a Thai dinner for us. Everything was amazing and went off without a hitch!

I just got married a few weeks ago and used A Charleston Bride/Carrie Glasscock to help coordinate…read more Perhaps I had lower expectations that I should have going into planning assuming people are out more to take advantage of rather than to help the bride, but I have nothing but the best things to say about the team! Working with Carrie was an pleasure - so much that I wish I could plan my wedding again and again! (Who knows, maybe she'll start doing birthdays and anniversaries). She works with dozens of different brides across the spectrum of style and taste, and she was able to quickly hone into and *deliver* my vision to perfection ... despite not even knowing what that was myself when I got started, and lacking the "wedding decor vocabulary" I would have liked to have. Carrie has the perfect temperament for the job, and inspires confidence in even the most anxious and picky brides. I was planning my wedding from across the country, so plenty of reasons to feel insecure about vendor management. She is incredibly prepared (my younger brother got ill and had to be taken out during the service and all anyone could talk about after the fact was that before they even got to the back room, Carrie was there with bottles of water and granola bars!) She is positive and helpful (my lipstick was misplaced between the ceremony and reception and she and Lee took the situation just as seriously as I did! :-)) And she has great taste (helped me choose bridesmaid dresses and an absolutely stunning floral palette). In summary, she supported me in creating a beautiful wedding and helped me feel confident and relaxed on my wedding day - focused on the right things!

Beth at WildFlowers did the flowers for our December wedding on Kiawah. She was really nice,…read moreresponsive, and professional, so I'm not going to blast her, but I have to say that we weren't 100% satisfied with how things turned out. Flowers were not a top priority for us (food and photography were), but obviously I wanted them to look nice. My requests were as follows: simple, seasonal, and romantic. Admittedly, I didn't know much about flowers, so I made a Pinterest board for Beth to follow. The prices seemed reasonable for wedding flowers (unfortunately, $100 & up is normal for bouquets unless you DIY) and her delivery fee was $75. The invoice sounded great and I felt like we were on the same page. The bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were beautiful and received a bunch of compliments. My issue was with some of the flowers at our reception. The invoice described them as "vignettes of assorted vintage bottles with blooms and mini vases with blooms." They turned out looking like weeds in bottles, as you can see in the picture I've included. I felt embarrassed and disappointed, and I still can't figure out where the miscommunication occurred. My advice is to proceed with caution and make sure you know exactly what you're getting.

Some of the flowers that we kept still look absolutely amazing and I can't say enough about what an amazing job she did even though I had to hire her (issues with other florist) only two and a half months before my wedding. I will be sure to post as many photos as possible once I get some professional ones from our photographer so Yelpers can see what an outstanding job she did. I live in Las Vegas and had a destination wedding in the Charleston area, so I was only able to correspond with her via email and telephone, and she went above and beyond what I expected. From what I have seen of her portfolio and what she did for my intimate, but VERY heavily floral wedding, she has got to be about the best florist in Charleston. As long as you have a clear vision for her, and have realistic expectations, and MOST IMPORTANTLY give her the creative license to make something she is inspired by, you will be stunned by her work.

I consider myself to be a perfectionist and it's usually hard for me to relax and trust others to take care of things. Kala and Kara took all those worries away with their attention to detail and organization skills. During the planning of our week-long itinerary of events, they were extremely knowledgable, responsive, and helpful. We made several trips to Charleston and they scheduled hair/makeup trials, tastings, and meetings with vendors. They even attended several of them with us. We had multiple in person and Zoom meetings with Kala. She is SO much fun and you can tell she has a passion for making sure your wedding is exactly like you imagine it. We exchanged lots of emails with both Kala and Kara and they were quick to respond. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about anything. I was able to enjoy the entire day knowing that they had everything under control. Hiring MOD Events was hands down the best decision we made when planning this wedding. After seeing what a great job they did and hearing me go on and on about how invaluable they were, my cousin hired MOD Events for her daughter's wedding too. Thanks MOD Events Charleston! I am so grateful for you and the service that you provided for our family. You're the best!

He was so great to work with and was extremely prepared and so very talented! We also love that professional mics and an amazing sound system and lights were included in the package.
