I don’t even know where to begin because there truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chynna. From start to finish, she was an absolute lifesaver. Throughout the planning process, Chynna was our anchor; helping us make decisions, keeping us calm when the stress crept in, and always being one step ahead of us with suggestions, timelines, and support. She made everything feel manageable and reminded us what it was all about. One of the most helpful parts of working with Chynna was how she took over all vendor communications the month before. We were able to truly breathe and enjoy the countdown knowing she had it all handled. Every little detail was managed with care and professionalism, and her communication was clear, timely, and kind. But what truly sets Chynna apart is how she showed up on our wedding day. Her calm, steady presence grounded us during a day that had its fair share of unexpected challenges. Things came up… things no one could’ve predicted and Chynna handled it all with so much grace, empathy, and confidence. She not only made sure things got done, but she was also a comforting friend through it all. She held space for us emotionally while simultaneously keeping the day running smoothly behind the scenes. Her attention to detail, her ability to adapt and problem-solve, and the way she genuinely cares about her couples is something really rare. She has a gift, not just for planning, but for people. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and we’ll never stop being thankful that she was part of it. If you’re considering working with Chynna, don’t hesitate. She’s everything you need in a coordinator and more.

From the moment we embarked on the planning journey, Dana's warm and delightful personality instantly put us at ease.

This allowed us to approach our special day with a sense of calm and relaxation, knowing that every detail had been meticulously taken care of. This was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, Dana and her team executed flawlessly, leaving no detail overlooked. From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction.

Sabrina at Lucky Day Events was the wedding planner of my dreams. From the very start, she stood out of all of the wedding planners by making her approach so personable. Once my husband and I hired Lucky Day Events, Sabrina made our experience customized based on our needs, leading us to feel such an ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. When people ask me how we seemed so calm during wedding planning, we attribute so much of that to Lucky Day. We didn't worry, always had peace of mind, and felt very heard and seen by her planning. The vision we wanted with our sentimentality, overall energy we wanted to create throughout the entire wedding, to every detail with the aesthetic for flower, videographer, photographer vendors, and more, Sabrina understood and delivered. Day of our wedding both my husband and I felt such ease due to Sabrina’s expertise handling all of the details and overseeing everything, and we were so deeply happy with how everything felt and looked! We truly thank you from the depths of our heart, Sabrina! It was more than planning, you brought an experience for us that we will always cherish looking back on wedding planning and our special day. Thank you Lucky Day for creating the wedding of our dreams with us! We are so grateful, and we could not recommend Lucky Day Events enough for your wedding of your dreams too!

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

At the heart of our business is the belief that every wedding is a unique and special occasion that deserves to be memorable. We are a team of experienced wedding planners who are dedicated to making your dream wedding a reality. Our services are designed to cater to every aspect of your wedding, from the initial planning stages to the final execution.

Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris! From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor. Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why. She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE! Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds. My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life. My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend. If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her!

The passionate professionals at Hive & Co boast years of experience in the wedding industry and have helped countless couples tie the knot. They believe a wedding should be no less than perfect and strive to bring every couple's wedding vision to life exactly as they imagined it.

I cannot recommend Jena and Hive & Co Weddings and Events enough! She honestly changed my life for the better!! Jena and her team are a one stop shop. Planning, vision, curation, support, and all with the most authentic kindness you could imagine. She is creative and leans into whatever theme or vision you have and will make it grand. I feel so lucky to have worked with Jena, and you will not regret the decision. Prior to hiring her, I had so much stress surrounding making our wedding perfect. I wanted a beautiful southern outdoor style at a challenging location due to the venue’s limited resources but amazing views, and the moment I started working with Jena, I knew it was going to be better than I could have dreamed of on my own. She knows all of the vendors in the area and beyond. She will not lead you astray! Also, she could charge so much more for her work, but she keeps things affordable. It is the best decision I could have ever made in our wedding journey! I can’t speak more highly of a person or company!! My only regret is not getting a photo with her on wedding day!!
