The day, hour by hour
From golden hour to lantern light
A wedding day is a hundred small moments in the right order. We write every one of them down, then make them happen while you are busy being happy.
1:00 pm
Getting ready
Hair, makeup and a quiet lunch, with someone watching the clock so you never have to.
3:30 pm
First look
A private moment in the garden. We clear the path and keep the guests away.
5:00 pm
The ceremony
Chairs straight, programs out, music cued. You walk down the aisle on time, to the second.
6:00 pm
Golden hour
Portraits in the best light of the day while your guests enjoy cocktails on the lawn.
7:15 pm
Dinner by candlelight
Every name card, every dietary note, every toast in its place.
9:00 pm
First dance
The band, the lights and the dance floor, opened exactly when the room is ready.
10:45 pm
Lantern send-off
Sparklers lit, the car waiting, and a basket of your things packed for the morning.

What it costs
Estimate your planning fee
Pick a service, your guest count and any extras. It is an honest starting point; your proposal after the consultation is exact.
Travel outside the Charleston area is billed at cost. A third of the fee holds your date; the rest is due in two parts before the wedding.

Thank-you notes
Kind words from our couples
“We didn’t see a single problem all day. Later we found out there had been three, and Grace had solved every one before we noticed.”
Ava & TheoGarden estate, 140 guests “Camille turned a Pinterest board and a vague feeling into a room so beautiful my grandmother cried before the ceremony started.”
Priya & SamBallroom, 220 guests “Planning a wedding in Italy from South Carolina sounded impossible. Mateo made it feel like a vacation.”

Questions couples ask us
How far ahead should we book a planner?
For full planning, twelve to eighteen months before the wedding is ideal; we can do it in less. Wedding-month coordination can be booked up to three months ahead.
Do you travel?
Yes. We plan across the Lowcountry and up and down the coast, and destination weddings in Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. Travel is quoted separately at cost.
Do you take a commission from vendors?
Never. Our fee is our only income, so every vendor we suggest is one we would choose for our own families.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes, an hour at the studio or on a video call, with no obligation. You leave with a rough timeline and a few ideas either way.
Journal
Notes from the planning desk

How to build a wedding day timeline
The order of a wedding day, hour by hour, and the buffers that keep it calm.

Seven questions to ask every venue
What to ask on a venue tour, beyond the price and the date.

The engagement letter
One gentle email a month for the newly engaged: a checklist for where you are, a venue we love and one idea you won’t find on Pinterest.
Let’s set the date
Tell us about the two of you over coffee in the pink house on Bellflower Alley, or on a video call. The first hour is on us.
