About

With over a decade in the industry, Beckon Events started out as Upstate I Do and has grown to serve destinations all over. Based in the Carolinas, we are available for events of all styles. Our 2020 pricing for planning & design begins at $10k; please contact us for more details as to how we can get started with you.

Full Service Planning

An experience where we tackle all the tasks and planning minuta, so you can focus solely on the fun part: simply making the decisions and being excited for how it will all come together! We are there for you from the get-go, and serve as your ultimate wedding concierge. An all-encompassing service with unlimited communication and password-protected access to our planning software. This service includes event design, with full creation and implementation. We assist in creating the budget, breaking it down by section, and managing it throughout the planning process. We craft a custom weekend timeline, incorporating all other vendors, to create an effortless celebration. We are behind the scenes from start to finish as your event comes together. With onsite logistics management and personal client guidance, we focus on seamless and stress-free execution.

Event Design

Unlike planning, which is task focused, event design is creating a unique, consistent visual style for an event. We cast a detailed vision for your event that begins with a personalized inspiration board. From there, we build to include a functional layout with all aesthetic aspects, transforming the look and feel of the event space and bringing the design full circle: from the invitations, to the menu choice, to the decor and even the entertainment.

Event Management

Often defined as "month-of coordination" or “day of coordinator”, our event management is focused on carrying out all the logistical details on the day of your event as well as attending to your personal needs throughout the event. Your event team will be available to you from the time you sign, throughout your planning process. You will have access to the details of your event on our personalized planning software, which enables you to stay organized on top of tasks, rsvps & seating, as well as vendor information throughout your planning process.

Beckon Events makes dreams come true!!

The talent of Allie and her team is unmatched! Their ability to transform my abstract “vibe” into the most beautiful, cohesive, luxurious wedding day is so incredible. Our guests told us our wedding was the most fun, thoughtful, and joyous event they have been to, and Allie’s attention to every detail of the guest experience made all the difference. Allies dedication to building a relationship with her clients based on trust made all the difference for my husband and I. I love her and her team so much!!

Beckon events made our wedding a beautiful work of art—from sourcing the coolest napkin rings for us—to helping us pick the perfect vendors, they settle for nothing less than perfection. My husband and I got married in Greenville but live in NYC, and Allie and Julia were the perfect virtual planning partners—responsive, organized, and collaborative. If you are looking for an event planner who will make your dreams come true, there is no better option than Allie and her team. I can’t wait to have another excuse to plan a Beckon Event!!

Worth Every Penny!

We could not have planned our dream wedding without hiring Beckon Events and was the best investment we made! Allie, Julia, and her team are PHENOMENAL in every way. Planning a wedding (especially one out of state), can be challenging and overwhelming, but Allie and her team's unparalleled expertise made the process seamless and stress free for us. All of her vendor recommendations were top quality people that were wonderful to work/plan with, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their services.

Allie cares so deeply about her clients and handled the unimaginable and everything behind-the-scenes with such professionalism and grace. She made our vision come to life and could only be described as something out of a fairytale! Our day was picture perfect and executed exquisitely. We could not be more grateful. Thank you Beckon Events for a spectacular experience and giving us memories we will cherish forever!

The best in the business!

Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but with Allie by our side, it was an absolute dream! From the very first meeting, they took the time to get to know us as a couple and our families. It wasn't just about the venue and flowers – Allie and Julia truly cared about what made our day special.
Allie and Julia’s attention to detail is unmatched. We never had to worry about a single thing being overlooked. What truly impressed us was the ability to find the perfect vendors who not only fit our vision, but also worked seamlessly together. We would like to give a special thanks to our photographer Sarah Bradshaw, who took the most amazing pictures, capturing beautiful moments while being non-invasive, as well as Matt and Meredith Films. We would also like to shout out our amazing band, Steel Toe Stilettos, who really set the tone for the evening. Also, the whole team at Bridal Beauty Authority were very attentive to our own individual styles for hair and makeup. The flowers by Katie Asire went above and beyond with her outstanding designs. It felt like a well-oiled machine on the wedding day, and that is all thanks to Allie and Julia’s knowledgeable experience with wedding planning and over-all talent.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, look no further than Beckon Events. We can't thank them enough for making our destination wedding a day we'll cherish forever.

As a photographer, it's a bonus to have a thoughtful and well-organized planner on wedding days and I Do is just that. Allie and I have worked on numerous events together, and she has always been very gracious, extremely helpful, and always prepared. I appreciate her ability to adapt when timelines don't go as planned, as well as her respect for creative photography and the time that entails. Allie has a great attention to detail and helps to make every wedding run smoothly. I Do is a wonderful service and I look forward to working with Allie more in the future! -Jennifer Stuart

We LOVE Alexandra at I Do! She is incredibly detailed and organized, making our job as a vendor super easy and clear-cut. We have heard nothing but good things from the brides she has worked with---even one of our own musicians booked I Do after working with them at a wedding we serviced! We can't recommend them highly enough!
