Holly was our officiant and truly made our day special. She is a pleasure to work with and made the ceremony one of a kind and personal. I highly recommend her!!

Planning Services: While we had previously lived in the city where we got married, we had just moved about 700 miles away. Planning was going to me a nightmare, or so I thought... Elyn, Christy, and the rest of the wonderful ladies at A Charleston Event & Bridal Library made my life so much simpler during the planning process. The few times I was in town to meet vendors or make any wedding decisions, they did everything they could to maximize my time.
From setting up appointments with all sorts of vendors, to getting some great deals for me, they really went above and beyond. I would never have met the musicians (whom we loved!) if it weren't for ACE, and same goes for the dress boutique and photographer we used.

Flowers and Decor: I really did not have a clear picture of what I wanted for decor, much less for flowers. Using the vague ideas and descriptions I had, along with what I knew I didn't like, they managed to make a beautiful and classy environment. Pictures are the only thing that can describe what they set up well enough, my words won't do it justice.
