    Wedding Planning and Florals

    Cindy and her team are simply incredible at what they do! From the start we had it in our minds that having a destination wedding at a place we had never been to was going to be difficult, but Cindy and her team made everything so simple and easy! She knew absolutely everything necessary for our venue, The Ocean Course at KIawah Island Golf Resort. She was willing to work with me, listen to my vision, take things into consideration that were important, and she executed everything flawlessly! Leading up to our day I did not feel any bit of stress because I knew that they had everything handled! Our entire wedding day flowed seamlessly. Anything that came up was handled and they made sure that we were having the time of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Cindy and her team for the amazing job they did! The time, care, love, and energy they spent making our day perfect will forever be appreciated!

    Amazing, deeply respected and highly experience team

    Cindy and her team at Engaging Events are the best in their game. Upon learning that we were working with her, every vendor would visibly relax - her reputation for being thorough, practical and focused on what really matters was clear. Her decades of experience and trusted relationships across the Charleston-area wedding community were especially helpful for us as a couple planning a wedding from another state. Executing an outdoor event on Kiawah especially presented logistical and weather based challenges for which Cindy offered countless solutions - easing our minds knowing she'd done it MANY times before and had the full trust of the vendor teams onsite the day of. We can honestly say our wedding day was stress free knowing we were in her hands. Her approach is practical, thorough and couple focused, packing a ton of value into reasonable planning fees. We felt the support of a high-touch planner where we needed it most and the light-touch guidance where we were more comfortable navigating on our own, and in the final month, it was so great to be able to step away from the vendor management and event details knowing that it was all in Cindy's extremely capable hands. We are so glad we opted for EE over some of the flashier alternatives researched - truly the best decision we made was hiring Cindy's team.

    The most amazing wedding planners!!!

    Cindy and Caroline and their team were the most amazing wedding planners. They were incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond to make all of my wedding dreams come true. During the engagement season, I was not once stressed even being the most indecisive person on the planet. They made it so fun and provided as many options as We needed to make our decisions. On the wedding day, everything went perfectly. There was not one thing that I was aware of that went wrong. The only time the entire wedding day that I cried was when I walked through the venue after it was set up before the ceremony. I cried so hard because they completely brought my vision to life. I could not recommend engaging events enough!

    The best planner and best wedding we could have ask for!

    I hope that everyone is lucky enough to work with Cindy and the Engaging Events team. From Day 1, she understood who were as a couple and helped us to craft a day that was a reflection of who we are - even when we didn't know what to ask for. Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect and was so well organized and executed that we got compliments from our guests on how great Cindy was. Cindy also was able to connect us with an A+ team of vendors from catering to photography to our officiant and we loved every single person we worked with. Thanks to working with Cindy, our wedding became far more than we ever could have imagined. If you're thinking about working with Engaging Events, do it!

    So awesome!

    They were excellent! Executed my vision exactly how I wanted it and went above and beyond on everything. They knew our venue (River Course, Kiawah Island) very well and helped us through some tricky logistics. Cindy and Caroline are pros!

    We love Cindy and her team! A+ wedding planners

    Cindy and her team made our wedding vision come to life and we are so thankful to them! They are truly the experts in Charleston-area wedding vendors and have a ton of experience at so many different venues around the city and low country area. We can't recommend them enough, and hope you'd consider them for your big day!

    Absolutely amazing

    Caroline made our wedding planning such a breeze! When we selected Kiawah Island as our wedding location, we knew nothing about the local wedding vendors, being from out of town, and her expertise in the Charleston market was invaluable. She organized the planning in such a way that we never felt overwhelmed, giving us one or two things to work on at a time. Our meetings were always so productive and we felt more excited for our wedding after each one. The wedding weekend arrived with absolutely horrible weather for the welcome party, which was supposed to be at a mostly outdoor venue, and Caroline pivoted the event indoors at a different location that ended up being wonderful. She really saved the day. The wedding itself was truly spectacular, with Cindy’s flowers and place settings being really stunning. We so appreciate how Caroline and Taylor took care of all the logistics on our big day. It was so well run that all we had to do was get ready, show up, get married, and enjoy ourselves. Our wedding was beyond perfect and it is mostly thanks to Caroline’s fantastic work. We cannot recommend her enough!

    The BEST Coordinator in Charleston

    I can not express enough how amazing Engaging Events was to work with for my Wedding in October, 2021! We did a full service coordination and they did not miss a single thing. During the planning process, as the bride I was asked by multiple people how I was feeling while planning and if I was stressed. My answer every time was no, the process was seamless for us, even as an out of state bride. That is all credited to Engaging Events amazing team. It was truly the most magical day, with the most amazing vendors. Highly recommend, you will not regret it!

    Down right exceptional!!!! A must hire!

    My husband and I are newlyweds as of October 2021 and had the most amazing experience working with Engaging Events as our wedding planner and floral designers. From the very second we met Caroline and her team we felt at home and taken care of. The meticulous work and care that goes into your event is unmatched and they will help you plan the wedding of your dreams!!! Our wedding day was the absolute most perfect day of our lives all thanks to them. They take all the stress off of you and you’re left the just enjoy the day as bride and groom. They are true masters at their craft!!

    Perfect Wedding!!!

    Cindy, Caroline and their team were absolutely great and crucial to our wedding looking so beautiful and running smoothly. Caroline was always quick to respond back to communications. Caroline also helped with our stationary and welcome boxes and they turned out amazing, highly recommend letting the team help coordinate some of your wedding needs if you aren't using them as a full time planner. The flowers Cindy picked out were just stunning and better than I ever imagined. I also highly recommend seeing a sample of the linens and florals before the wedding day. I was hesitant but it turned out to be so worth it, as we were able to make changes. The team was running around the entire day of the wedding making sure everything was running on time and checking in on the Bride and Groom. Overall great experience, and the wedding was just perfect!

    See pictures for the amazing work the team put together. The amazing photos are taken by Dana Cubbage, and I cannot recommend her enough either!!

    Choose Engaging Events - You won't be disappointed

    Caroline was an absolute DREAM wedding coordinator. Choosing to have a destination wedding 7 hours away from home was a bit unnerving. But the first time I spoke with Caroline, she won my heart. Even when we thought we might not be able to work together (due to availability), she still worked hard to secure a location for me! From the beginning, Caroline was organized, thoughtful, and creative. She has a wealth of knowledge, and often provided alternatives when we needed fresh perspective. She provided amazing vendors for us to choose from as well. Each vendor we spoke with raved about Caroline, and they were 100% correct! She was with us every step of the way, and even when plans fell through she would jump into high gear to made sure the issue we resolved quickly. It's cliché, but our wedding day was literally the BEST DAY EVER - and that would never have happed without Caroline. While I only saw Caroline a few times on the big day, she was working furioulsly behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly. She even made sure the newlyweds were able to eat at their own wedding! Many of my guests commented on how wonderful she was, and how hard she worked. My maid of honor was astounded at how Caroline was able to direct the chaos with love, compassion and a smile!

    Cindy was great as well - her vision for flowers is exquisite. She took a few thoughts about our life, a few pictures from Pinterest and executed a beautiful display for our flowers!

    I could go on forever - but trust me, you will not regret choosing Engaging Events!

    Engaging Events far exceeded expectations

    This was my first experience as mother of the bride, and my daughter suggested we look into hiring a planner. Being new to Charleston and not knowing anything about the vendors here, I agreed. I had no idea how much Caroline and Cindy would take care of, for a very reasonable price. Caroline narrowed down each various vendor to a few recommendations, so I wasn’t overwhelmed. She kept my budget and tracked when payments were due. She was quickly responsive to every call or email. She was very tuned in to our preferences and priorities. Lastly, her presence on the actual wedding day was invaluable. I didn’t have to do anything at all, except enjoy the day and our guests. She covered every detail. The whole experience with Engaging Events was incredible and worth every penny.

    We could not recommend Cindy and her team more! She was so helpful throughout the whole process. She was especially helpful for the small details which I would have missed. The day of the wedding could not have been smoother and I know that was a large part because of Cindy's hard work! Excellent communication as well.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We loved working with Engaging Events for our wedding!! Truly we do not have enough good things to say. Cindy helped bring our floral and design visions to life with her ability to decipher my abstract thoughts and random pinterest pins and Caroline kept our wedding plans on track with humor and grace despite being derailed by a global pandemic! Throughout the entire process we always looked forward to our meetings with Engaging Events - they kept us sane, focused and excited for our big day. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from guests on our florals and the overall vibe that Cindy created. Our guests were in awe of how professional and personable Caroline was - in addition to how she kept the entire day running so smoothly! We could not have had a more perfect experience or wedding day!

    Amazing Experience

    Caroline and Cindy are simply the best in Charleston! Friendly, patient, and extremely organized, they perfectly executed my husband and I's vision for our big day. As a bride who was the first of my family and friends to wed, I was very intimidated by the process of planning. Engaging Events eliminated all of the stress with their expertise and their genuine support leading up to the wedding. Our day was beautiful and many guests have told us that it was the most gorgeous wedding that they have ever attended. Thank you Caroline and Cindy!

    Engaging Events - Highly Recommend!!!

    Caroline & Cindy at Engaging Events were exceptional. They partnered with us from the very beginning to bring our vision to reality. The service was white glove from day one and on top of it all they helped us navigate the challenging and stressful postponement caused by the pandemic. When the day finally came it went absolutely perfectly, without a single issue to speak of to which we give them all the credit. We would highly recommend Engaging Events for anyone planning a wedding in the area. They're great people to work with and did a tremendous job.

    Engaging Events MADE Our Wedding!

    Once our venue had been chosen and reserved, I needed to hire a wedding coordinator and my husband knew JUST the one! Caroline Bean, a family friend through church who works at Engaging Events :) The first time I called their office and asked to speak to Caroline, she was available and could not wait to help us plan our special day! Even in the midst of a global pandemic where social distancing and mask wearing had been required, Engaging Events jumped right in to help us make a plan - AND a back-up plan. Between meetings, phone calls and emails, both Caroline and Cindy were available and responsive. Both ladies are VERY ORGANIZED, they and their team pay attention to detail and MOST IMPORTANT they CARE about meeting the wants and needs of each and every bride and groom! Our wedding reception at Harborside East in Mount Pleasant, SC was more beautiful than I had imagined! The bouquets and floral arrangements took my breath away! Thank you, Engaging Events, for all of your hard work - the celebration of our marriage came together PERFECTLY!

    Outstanding!

    These ladies are true professionals! Our wedding was pushed back 6 months due to Covid with quite a few unexpected changes along the way and they welcomed it all with optimism, kindness and support. Our family and friends are still taking about the gorgeous floral arrangements and bouquets they arranged and the personal decor details that were so very important to us were represented with the thought and love we intended thanks to Engaging Events. I’m truly sad I don’t get to work with these talented woman any longer since the wedding is over!

    Amazing!!!

    I can't even tell you how amazing Cindy and her team are! We live in Boston, but were getting married in Charleston and Cindy made planning a wedding from out of state a breeze. After talking to her on the phone when we were looking for a planner we knew she was going to be amazing. Her and her team are so kind, professional, experienced, and a dream to work with. They totally understood our vision and our wedding was unbelievably beautiful and perfect - I'm still in awe of how everything turned out! I procrastinate and am extremely indecisive, but Cindy kept me on track during all of the wedding planning. She was so helpful in deciding on details and knew exactly what recommendations to make. Cindy has so much experience and she didn't miss a detail anywhere. I was so thankful for her and her team during our wedding weekend because my husband and I did not have to worry about a thing which allowed us to just enjoy the weekend with our friends and family. They even delivered welcome boxes to guests' AirBnB's if they were not staying in the hotel blocks! So many of our guests told us that our wedding was the best/most beautiful wedding they had been to and that is truly all thanks to Cindy and her team. We are so happy we worked with Engaging Events and can't recommend them enough!

    Dream wedding

    I cannot say enough great things about Engaging Events. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is so difficult and I can’t imagine being able to do it without both of them by my side. They took my all over the place vision and turned it into exactly what I wanted and so much more. Not having to worry about finding a florist and having them also do the florals is soooo nice. Not to mention I don’t think anyone does florals better than them. They are truly invaluable and I can’t thank them enough for creating my dream wedding!

    The Perfect Choice

    Choosing Engaging Events was absolutely the best decision we made in planning the wedding(s). We learned with my first daughter’s wedding (4 years ago) that Caroline and Cindy are completely invaluable! They are very responsive, they gently guide you through the entire process, and above all, they smile and remain calm at all times, even during a pandemic! These girls are ON IT!! They really are amazing at getting in your head and making dreams come true! I cannot imagine going through this process with out them by our side. Did I mention the florals? Oh my gosh, absolutely the most gorgeous arrangements and bouquets....just dreamy!! They absolutely know their stuff!! Both my girls think they had the best weddings ever, what more could a mother hope for for her daughters! Look no further...Engaging Events is the one!

    Perfect Wedding Day

    Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and it would not have been possible without Cindy and Caroline. Our wedding was supposed to be in May 2020, but got postponed to November due to the pandemic. I could not imagine dealing with all of the changes and rescheduling everything without Cindy’s help. She always made time to talk through details or things I was unsure about. She goes above and beyond to make the wedding planning process as smooth as possible. There were so many details that I never would have thought about and it was incredibly helpful to have the experience of Engaging Events on our side! Cindy has a decorative eye and everything looked beautiful on our wedding day. From the florals to the linens and décor. It all was perfect. Cindy and Caroline made our dream wedding come true, even in the midst of a pandemic, and we cannot thank them enough.

    Absolute perfection

    I found Engaging Events through my venue and I could not have been more thrilled with them. From my first conversation with Caroline I knew I wanted her and the team to be the ones helping me make the big day perfect. I explained how I'd worked in the industry and therefore would notice when things were off, I explained I was finishing law school and would need to be studying for/taking the bar exam so all planning needed to be done well in advance, and they beyond delivered. When Covid hit Caroline was there to assure us everything was ok especially since we live in another state. On the day of everything was organized and handled professionally and without us having to do anything other than smile for the camera and move from place to place. If you are looking from a team that will beyond succeed your expectations and be there for you when things potentially get tough, this is your team. On the floral side, Cindy did amazing work! My flowers looked incredible and they even accommodated my wanting to attach my grandmother's rings on my bouquet which made it extra special for me since they are no longer with us. For those brides that aren't familiar with the area they also help with choosing great vendors, so really they are the best team any bride and groom could ask for!

    The Fairy Godmother of wedding planners!

    Working with Caroline and Cindy was incredible. I was one of those brides that basically had no vision and needed a lot of direction. The guided me through the whole planning and design process and made the most beautiful wedding I've ever experience. It felt like they were my fairy godmothers turning some small ideas into this amazing event! It even stormed pretty aggressively the morning of and somehow the weather turned and we had an absolutely perfect temperature and breeze (see they are magic!!). Carline was on top of everything and so unbelievably organized it gave me all the comfort I needed. Most people say prepare for something to go wrong on your wedding day and with Engaging Events I don't see how anything could go wrong, and if it did, I sure didn't notice (isn't that the point)! Thanks to Caroline, Cindy and the rest of the EE team for everything!
