I knew Parris was “the one” from the very first phone call! I had a whole list of concerns and felt like she addressed them all before I could even be stressed about them! I love how professional and organized she was, but it still felt like you were planning with your best friend! I went with her full service package and I am so glad I did because I didn’t have to think of or worry about a thing! Parris paid attention to EVERY detail, and not only listened to my vision but brought it to life in a way that completely exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for someone who can manage your budget, your vision, your vendors, your day, and even your emotions (ha!) Parris is ABSOLUTELY the planner for you! Thank you, thank you, thank you to you and your team for making the planning process and my wedding day completely stress free and absolutely perfect!!!

Paris truly transformed my wedding into an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, she was an invaluable partner, guiding me through every step of the process with ease and grace. Her vision and creativity brought my dream wedding to life, creating a serene and beautiful atmosphere that exceeded my expectations.

One of the most significant blessings was Paris’s ability to ensure that both of my divorced parents felt equally involved in the celebration. This was a daunting task, but she handled it with such care and understanding that it became a seamless part of the day.

Paris’s expertise extended beyond the ceremony. She skillfully negotiated contracts, ensuring that our elegant vision remained within our budget. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of the planning.

On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy and love of the moment. Paris’s professionalism and dedication were truly remarkable, and I am forever grateful for her exceptional service.

Her passion and positivity were infectious, and her unwavering support made my wedding day truly perfect. I owe my dream wedding to Paris, and I highly recommend her to anyone planning a special event. Whether it’s a wedding or any other occasion, Paris will help you create a day that is nothing short of perfection.

We used Parris to plan our Feb 2025 wedding and we couldn’t be happier with that decision, every detail of our special day was perfect. She was great to communicate with and very organized, she was compassionate and patient. On the day of the wedding Parris and her team ensured that everything was executed to perfection and it really was. I would recommend Parris and her team for all of your full service event planning needs!

From our very first meeting, she brought such professionalism, creativity, and genuine kindness that immediately put us at ease. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Parris made the entire experience organized, joyful, and truly fun. She understood our vision perfectly and somehow made every single detail come to life even better than we imagined. Her attention to detail is unmatched from the timeline to the tiny touches that made everything feel personal and intentional. When the big day arrived, Parris and her team were absolute rockstars. They handled every little thing seamlessly behind the scenes so that we could be completely present and actually enjoy the day. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives, and I know that’s in huge part thanks to Parris and the Eventfully Chic team.

Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris!

From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor.

Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why.

She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE!

Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds.

My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life.

My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend.

If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her!

Parris was truly the answer to our prayers. We found her just a few months before our wedding after a stressful experience with a previous planner, and she immediately eased every ounce of anxiety we had. She was communicative, respectful, organized, and wholeheartedly supportive of our vision—especially the complexities of blending two cultures. She embraced our needs with such grace and efficiency, and any small hiccup with vendors was resolved before I even had time to worry.

One thing that stood out from the beginning was how vendors reacted when I mentioned I was working with Parris—every single one of them lit up and shared how much they love working with her. That alone speaks volumes.

I’ve read so many times to “prepare for something to go wrong on your wedding day,” but that was not our experience at all. I woke up the next morning with overwhelming gratitude for how truly perfect everything felt. Our wedding was everything I could’ve dreamed of and even more.

Her dedication to us made the entire process feel effortless. She prioritized our peace and presence, reminding us that our only job was to enjoy creating memories while she handled everything behind the scenes.

I also have to recognize her associate coordinator, Jennifer, who was by my side throughout the wedding day. Her calming presence, joyful energy, and genuine care made me feel like I’d known her for years. She has a true gift for grounding you in the moment, especially during those emotional minutes before walking down the aisle.

If you want a team that will bring your vision to life, honor your wishes, and exceed anything you imagined, Parris and Jennifer are exceptional. They do their work with passion, kindness, and unmatched professionalism. We are endlessly grateful for an unforgettable experience and a flawless wedding day.

Parris and her team are absolutely amazing. Parris and her team provide top quality care! Parris’s attention to detail is astounding. She took my dream and went above and beyond. I cannot recommend Eventfully Chic enough!

From the very beginning, Parris felt less like a wedding planner and more like a partner who just got me. Every idea, every detail, every change of heart—I never had to explain myself twice. Parris matched me step for step, reading the room, reading me, and bringing my vision to life in a way I didn’t think was possible.



What really stood out was how seamlessly she handled everything behind the scenes while still keeping me at the center of the process. I never felt like I was being pushed into a template or someone else’s idea of a wedding—Parris made sure it was our day, our way.



If you’re looking for someone who can keep up with your energy, your vision, and your occasional last-minute Pinterest obsession, Parris is that person. I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else.

If you want to see your dreams come true, using Parris as your wedding planner is the way to make that happen. She is extremely thorough and confident in what she does. We went with her full service planning and it is beyond worth it. It's hard to say I ever felt stressed while planning the wedding, and the entire wedding day could not have gone more perfectly/smoothly/stress-free. While she strives to place you with the best vendors, she keeps budget and personal preferences in mind. Parris is fun, thoughtful, full of knowledge, and easily one of the best at what she does. I can't say enough how thankful we are to have had her as our planner and I recommend to everyone to book her asap!

As a Type A personality, I was initially hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator. I wanted to handle everything myself and had already booked many of our vendors. However, balancing a full-time job with wedding planning—and still trying to actually enjoy the process—became overwhelming. That’s when I found Parris and her Day-of Coordinator package, and let me tell you, it was the best decision I could’ve made.

From the start, Parris fit perfectly into what I needed: someone to step in without taking over, allowing me to stay involved while she handled the execution. Decision fatigue is real when planning a wedding, and by the time the big day arrived, Parris and her team became my decision-makers, problem-solvers, and biggest supporters.

Parris intuitively understood my vision and preferences, often without me having to explain them, and ensured everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Every hiccup—like when I got lipstick on my dress before the first look—was met with calm, efficient solutions. She brought a sense of peace and organization that allowed me to truly focus on the day and enjoy the moment.

If you’re debating whether to hire a day-of coordinator, do it. It’s an investment in your peace of mind and time with loved ones. Trust me—you don’t want to be the one in your wedding dress telling vendors where to set up or organizing the bridal party. With Parris, I got to relax and soak in every second of our wedding day. I wouldn’t change a thing.
