Best decision!

Words cannot express our deepest gratitude to Chelsye and Ashley. They handled every detail of our wedding planning with professionalism, kindness, and calmness. They overcame all obstacles without ever having to burden us. Their resources and knowledge are parallel to none. Everything on the day-of was on time and flowed seamlessly so we could just enjoy the day. They provided for every contingency and assured us we did not have to worry about anything. And we didn’t—not even the weather!

We highly recommend this team for a flawless and amazing celebration. Thank you! ❤️

Helped us bring our vision to life!

Let me start off by saying I was not one of those girls who had their wedding planned since I was 5 - in fact, I had absolutely no clue what I wanted! The one thing my husband and I both knew we wanted for our wedding was for it to be in Charleston. Living in the Northern Virginia area, we had no expertise in finding vendors in Charleston and knew we would need to hire a planner to help us out.

After an introductory phone call with Chelsye, we knew we wanted to hire her - she was so sweet, bubbly, and knowledgeable. Once we got into the planning process, we knew we had made the right choice. After showing Chelsye a few inspiration photos, she came up with a gorgeous design that exceeded our expectations. The design reflected our personalities and our guests couldn't stop complimenting our reception space! Chelsye also provided recommendations for vendors for music, transportation, and makeup and we loved every single one!

Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy, but Chelsye remained optimistic and upbeat. She was flexible in working with our venue to accommodate their changes and presented us with ideas that wouldn't take away from the wedding experience. The wedding may have been much smaller than we intended, but the design was perfect! Our wedding day went off without a hitch thanks to the efforts of Chelsye and the Intrigue team! I cannot recommend them enough!

The Absolute BEST!

Chelsye and Intrigue were absolute life savers for our wedding. Due to Covid we had to change a lot of things around and there was a lot of stress. Chelsye made sure everything was perfect leading up to and on the day. I don't know what we would have done without her! If you are deciding whether or not to have someone help you with the entire wedding or just the details and day of I cannot suggest Chelsye and Intrigue enough. Set aside part of your budget for this amazing service and you will absolutely not regret it!

Staring my career in the Marketing & Design industry, I soon realized how much I loved the creative world. From planning corporate and fundraiser events to designing my first wedding in 2007, there was no turning back. Wedding planning and design is my passion, and it is one of the greatest feelings to be a part of an event that will ultimately change someone's life. Having an opportunity to plan and design an event for hundreds is incredible. I love to make dreams come true.

We cannot express enough how enjoyable it is to work with Chelsye and her team! It is very evident how much thought and care goes into each of their client's wedding day and how they personally take care of them from start to finish. We recently worked with Chelsye at a Boone Hall wedding... she had the flowers and boutonnieres ready to go at the perfect time, the golf cart in place right when we needed it and always kept us aware of what was going on throughout the entire day. Not only is Chelsye and her team professional and on top of things, they are a blast to work with too! We highly recommend Intrigue Design & Events and cannot wait to work with them again soon!
