The owner, Ali, is incredibly talented and has a great eye for adding just the right amount of detail to pull everything together. These ladies are professional, creative, and were able to provide above and beyond what I expected from an event planning service. Not being all that artsy or original myself, I was relieved that I was able to entrust Ali to take my mish moshed description of what I thought I wanted and turn it into something amazing. Seriously, without Ali my version of the husbands birthday party would have likely involved me singing an off key happy birthday and then throwing glitter in the air. No one wants to attend that party. No one. Having employed their help on two different occasions, I can't sing their praise enough!

My wife and I truly enjoyed working with Barbara for our wedding. We wanted something simple and…read moresmall, but we still wanted something elegant. Barbara understood perfectly what we were looking for. She is flexible and helped us build exactly the elopement package we were looking for. Everything was taken care of, all we had to do was walk to the site from our hotel and try to look nice. The photographer Barbara arranged (Nick Milak in Charleston SC) was professional, enjoyable, and extremely talented. My wife and I did exhaustive research both within Charleston and other locations for small weddings and elopements - you really won't find a better deal than Barbara's services, and yet we found that she did an excellent job. She's even able to accept credit cards on site so you aren't bogged down with the financial arrangements etc on your big day. We wouldn't change a thing about the wedding Barbara helped arrange, and we would recommend Elope to Charleston for anyone getting married in the area (she does weddings as well, not purely just elopements). In short, Charleston is one of the most picturesque and perfect cities to be married in. Elopement is not for everyone, but we definitely think we made the right decision (and countless friends have told us they wish they'd eloped or had a smaller wedding in retrospect). If you're looking for a small wedding in Charleston, you've found your gal.

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!

As a destination bride, this was literally overwhelming news. Although she had another appointment immediately after mine she quickly problem solved, found a solution, and fixed my bustle.

As the Mother of the Bride, I was thrilled when our daughter chose to book Cacky's Bride + Aid to make her wedding day flawless. Never did I imagine how invaluable Cacky would be to our daughter! She met us at the final fitting and was incredibly familiar with the bustle and other aspects of the fitting. Cacky was absolutely amazing to our daughter. Her ability to fit the wedding dress was very skillful. Her professionalism in handling all the little details while taking care of the Bride was extraordinary. No detail was overlooked! The incredible thing was that Cacky was so wonderful to me as well. It is a big day for the Mother of the Bride and she was there for anything I needed. From ironing my dress (which could not be steamed) to sewing the belt on the junior bridesmaid's dress when it didn't fit, Cacky had it covered. Her ability to anticipate every need of the Bride while being so in tuned to the Mother of the Bride was absolutely incredible. Cacky made our daughter's wedding and my Mother of the Bride experience truly special. She was a true blessing. Book her today!! Becky B. Mother of the Bride June 15, 2024
