Andrea has carefully crafted a team of highly skilled professionals who share her same values and goals. Andrea and her team strive to make your wedding a special day filled with memories that will last a lifetime! Highly Recommended!

This company would not even entertain a meeting, let alone a phone call to plan a destination wedding! Very unprofessional!

I would leave less than one star had it been an option!

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 have a couple of foodies in our crowd, and no one was disappointed! Two completely different menus were both delicious; and cooked to perfection with wonderfully complex flavors complementing but not overwhelming the high quality, fresh ingredients. As if that wasn't enough, Jessica is not only a talented cook, but also totally organized, making the preparation, delivery, and clean up look effortless. Highly recommended!! We had two under-sixes in the group as well, and dinner with JLOKitchens was so much more fun than hauling them out to a restaurant. Treat yourself! You'll be glad you did!

This was going to be my special gift to my best friend because she loves yoga and cooking. It was perfect. I made tank tops for all the bachelorettes to wear during yoga with cute yoga sayings on them. I went out of my way to get tables for the cooking class and everything. Two days before the event JLoKitchens confirmed that we would start at 930AM and then out of no where she cancelled the entire thing on me - yes, two days before the event. She stated she had been sick since Sunday but yet, didn't tell me then and therefore left me with no time to make plans. This was going to be the highlight of our weekend - she ruined it. She had told me that she was cooking, but a woman Tarah would be the yoga instructor. I said, I expect Tarah will still be there and that she can bring the food with her (and we'll just have to cook for ourselves). She wouldn't explain to me why Tarah was also suddenly available. As a professional, responsible business owner she should have had a back-up plan in place especially if she wasn't feeling well earlier in the week. Also, she never explained what happened to Tarah which leads me to believe she just dropped the ball and didn't book this despite us having been in communication for several months. She said sorry and refunded my deposit promptly but didn't fix the mess she created. It's not even about the money - I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to give my best friend this special gift and that we have such a bad experience associated with this weekend. If you're going to work with JLoKitchens you better have a back up plan.

I can't even believe the other review Epic Charleston has. Our experience with them was COMPLETELY…read moreopposite! We could not have loved DJ Nick more. He was responsive, so polite, personable, and everyone loved him - we've been married a little over two weeks and I am still getting compliments on how great the DJ was. The entire experience with Epic Charleston was such a dream! Nick listened to all of my neurotic requests and stayed patient through our brainstorm session and delivered exactly what myself and my husband had envisioned. He played exactly what we wanted to hear, none of what we didn't want to hear, and things we didn't know we wanted to hear! We got married March 17th, 2018 at the Oldfield Club in Okatie, SC. Nick made our experience so easy and was always very responsive. I HIGHLY recommend Epic Charleston! ps - if you're conflicted or worried about this ONE negative review, I highly suggest checking out Epic's Knot reviews. Seriously one of the best decisions we made with the wedding was working with Nick!

Not So Epic. Im writing this to share the experiences we…read morehave had booking a DJ for the wedding a couple months ago. Im the sister of the bride and and was with her during this from start to finish. I actually found this company for her. She was worried about writing a review because she owns a small business, and didn't want retaliation. My review is similar to others I have read after the fact, but this is what we dealt with. EPIC Charleston was on all of wedding websites during our search. After inquiring with them the bride received ALOT of emails, follow ups, and a very aggressive emailing/follow up campaign. Everyone thought they were just through (not the case) and we decided to book. They asked for 100% of her money up front which was strange. The pricing was by far the highest they were quoted and we thought thats because they were going to really make the evening special. After the contract was signed and the FULL amount paid, no one heard from them for months and months. Everyone called, emailed, and never got a response. I was so upset because I found these people and wasn't even sure if anyone was going to show up and we started to panic. We started looking at other DJ companies just in case we never heard from EPIC. Less than 2 weeks before the wedding, they finally responded to one of our emails as if it was no big deal and nothing was wrong. They were short and arrogant but at this point we had no choice but to just go through with it. They also changed the DJ again, noone knew if anyone would really come and who actually was the DJ. As far as the DJing goes, it was mediocre, at best, and NOT worth twice the amount other companies were charging. Watching everyone panic and suffer because of this was a nightmare. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND THE STRESS!! There are other companies that were much more affordable, probably a lot better, and might actually respond to you. Noone should ever have to go through this!

We signed up with Charleston Cafe (Cafe Catering) for an upcoming wedding. First, the food is great. Have tasted the flank steak, mac&cheese, crab cakes and fish tacos. I am not a huge seafood fan, but the fish tacos were great. They are appetizer size and come in a small fried shell. For such a small item, they pack a ton of flavor in it. The flank steak is also very well prepared, juicy and great taste. Compared to other caterers we looked at, Cafe Catering had the best pricing points by a long shot. Beyond all that, their service is not only the best among caterers, but some of the best I've dealt with in any industry. I'm not a huge fan of naming names, but their is a young lady their that needs a raise.
