I didn't want to have to worry or deal with anything other than watching my daughter and her now husband enjoy the best day of their lives. With Tanis and Chauncey at their and my side the day was perfect.

Thank you Tanis and Tanis J Events for insuring their day was perfect.

I wish we could give Tanis a 100 star raiting! Tanis is full of life and energy. She is so…read morepassionate about what she does and you can see it in her work. She is very professional and she knows a lot about the wedding business. My husband :), was not too sure about hiring a full service planner but after he saw how helpful Tanis was, he was fully on board with hiring her. She is very organized and handled all contact with our vendors. She came with us to almost every vendor meeting and made sure everything went smoothly. This lady LOVES paper work and I think that is great!! She keeps track of all contracts and notes every little detail to ensure nothing is missed!! (This really helped out when we had a vendor who did't show up to our wedding) She even came to help me with my bridal shoot and that was something that was not required in the services I paid for. She did it out of the kindness of her heart. She truly is such an amazing woman and I would recommend her to anyone! She also did our draping and candy bar and they both were a hit!! She's got an awesome sense of style and she captured my gatsby theme perfectly! Thank you Tanis for making our wedding day so magical! Wouldn't have been the same with out you!!!

And then on the big day, she and her teammate Levi completely went above and beyond. I can't imagine what we would have done without them! Every detail was thoughtfully considered and taken care of. The trust that Loraine built with us really allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the day. From the moment we signed the contract, it was clear that she approached planning in both a positive and transparent manner, exploring every option to help make our vision come to life. She provided fantastic recommendations for vendor partners and leveraged her extensive connections in the industry to make the planning process as painless as possible. If you are considering booking Invitation Only for your event (and why wouldn't you be?!), this is your sign to do it!

Loraine's guidance, consultation and support through the process helped me answer all the unknowns - and her connections with other local vendors were lifesavers!

She was essential for us to have a stress-free wedding weekend; it would not have run so smoothly if it was not for her being by our side! Thank you Loraine and Kyra for everything.

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!

Allie is a rockstar…read more I went into the space back in December to see what options were available, and it was great to be paired with Allie. We went through several dresses, and for someone that is very anti all the traditional things, Allie gave me options that made me feel beautiful. Although I didn't go with I&B because my partner and I decided to go a very non traditional route, I will say that going in and working with Allie helped me to make the best decision for me- which is one of the hardest things to do for a bride to be. I also did a small package with champagne and got a robe, I highly recommend the tailored approach to ask all the questions. Whether you're local or visiting, this place needs to be on your list for dress shopping and bridal ideas.

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!

As a negotiation expert, consultant, and trainer who trains Fortune 100 executives on the art of…read morenegotiation and has hosted events worldwide, I was skeptical about the need for an event planner and only considered several at my daughter's insistence. 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 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.

Edit to the post below: Previously I gave this company a 3…read morestar review. After receiving the final edits back of my wedding photos, I am now changing to 1 since 0 is not an option. The editor did all my photos in 3 hours and it shows. There is a foot coming out of my husband's behind in the most sentimental photo we have with his grandfather. The other photo we have with him, the curtain on the arbor is distorted so poorly. There was someone's hair left in the left has side of the photo rather than cropping it out? I have attached the photos for reference. The company also left their water mark in the bottom left hand corner of ALL of my final edits. The owner either didn't review the photos before they were sent to me or thought this was a good representation of her company. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a company and I hope that someone does not make the same poor choose as I did. There are plenty other elopement ceremony companies available in the area! Please pick one of them! I recently had my wedding on Oak Island Beach, NC. We arrived and there was really no direction. So we worked through it and started the ceremony but there wasn't a speaker system or music to walk down the aisle to. No one that was there, including my husband, could hear the officiant when he was speaking. The photographer was the best part of it all! She was adorable and tried so hard to please me! The worst part of this whole thing was on Friday, the day before the ceremony, they called and asked if we were able to move the wedding to Sunday due to the staff being sick. Come to find out, only the officiant was sick but they didn't attempt to look for another before calling me. We were coming from Michigan and had people from all over fly and drive in for a Saturday ceremony. I am most upset I was put under this amount of stress less than 24 hours before the ceremony with no discount or anything offered other than we got someone.
