The best decision we made!

Chauncey and her team exceeded all expectations! As a bride planning a destination wedding in Charleston, we knew we needed someone local and knowledgeable - from our first call, to our monthly check-ins, to our planning visit, we felt confident Chauncey was keeping us on task and on budget! But nothing could have prepared us for the execution of our wedding day! I kept saying throughout the day, it just feels so calm, and I attribute that all to Chauncey and her team! From the coordination of our vendors, to the setup, to making sure we always had a drink on the dance floor, Pat and I were able to feel fully present in the moment, knowing we had an incredible team behind us to ensure all the little details and logistics were taken care of. I truly could not have asked for a more perfect day, and believe whole-heartedly that day wouldn’t have been possible without Chauncey. THANK YOU! We would hire Chauncey and her team over and over again, they exceeded all expectations and we are so grateful we were introduced to her early on in our planning process.

Absolutely Amazing!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Chauncey, Riley and the rest of Bouquets and Bowties. From the very beginning of planning, they were there every step of the way answering all my questions and willing to take a call. She has wonderful insight on different vendors throughout Charleston and was able to make great recommendations to us. B&B made sure our day went without a hitch, and we truly could not have done it without them. Our bridal party and families were able to truly enjoy the day without having to worry about a thing! If you are looking for a planner in the Charleston area, you cannot go wrong with Bouquets and Bowties!

Bouquets and Bowties is AMAZING

Chauncey and her team were absolutely incredible to work with. We booked with B&B about 18 months before our actual wedding and that whole time Chauncey was making sure we were on track, available to answer our many questions, and helped tremendously with the design process. The day of the wedding was seamless and we felt at ease knowing Chauncey and Riley were handling literally anything and everything. At the wedding Riley was available for our every need - including bustling my dress (multiple times after it was stepped on), re-gluing my eyelashes on, and always making sure we had drinks in hand. Whenever we mentioned to other vendors that we were working with Chauncey and her team, they were all excited for the opportunity to work with her again and had amazing things to say. We would recommend Boutiques and Bowties to anyone planning a wedding in Charleston.

Bouquets & Bowties saved my wedding day!

There are not enough words to describe how incredible Chauncey, Riley, Dwight, and the Bouquets & Bowties planning team are! They are truly heroes and I don’t know what I would have done without them. From the very beginning, Chauncey and her team were so personable and professional and we knew we were in good hands. They answered all of my countless questions and I never felt like I was a bother. Genuinely, I didn’t know how people plan weddings without a planner but now I don’t know how anyone does it without the B&B team specifically. My outdoor 4/8/23 wedding should have been the perfect spring day until a horrible cold front rolled in and produced literally the coldest high temperature we have ever seen on this day. It was forecasted to dump rain all day and I was a WRECK. Thankfully I had Chauncey to handle everything that week and I knew that even though the weather wasn’t what I was envisioning, I had full confidence that her team would make it the best day possible. They had a Plan B, C, and D for the weather and they reacted so quickly to the rapidly changing weather. We were able to have the gorgeous outdoor ceremony that we wanted and then a beautiful tented reception that the team set up impeccably. It started dumping rain right at the last song of the night and the planning team were such troopers running around outside making sure our families’ cars were packed up and the venue was cleaned up. In addition to everything above, I want to make sure that I add that every member of the team felt like a real friend. There were several moments during the day where I just needed to crack jokes with someone and Chauncey and Riley were there laughing along with me. Just do yourself and your wedding a favor and book Bouquets & Bowties! Love you guys!

You need to book Bouquets and Bowties!

Chauncey and her team are absolutely incredible! She made the planning process so simple and completely handled all the communication with vendors. The day of was absolutely amazing and the team ran the show flawlessly without any stress. Even down to the smallest detail, nothing went wrong. I cannot believe how easy she made this experience for us. I had no stress and was able to completely enjoy the experience. Do not look any further, you have to have Chauncey and B&B!

The best!

Chauncey and Riley are INCREDIBLE and ensure that your wedding day is exactly as you have envisioned it. Personally, they put me at ease and genuinely made the whole wedding planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. I was anxious about everything that needed to be done, but Chauncey’s constant communication, email check-ins, and meetings made everything manageable. She will take everything off of your plate and will be there for you every step of the way. She handles everything in stride and with a sense of professionalism- even if your mom decides to take a FaceTime conference call in the middle of a design meeting (ha!). No detail goes unnoticed with them; I made a request to have time to eat all of the hors d’oeuvres during our cocktail hour. They made sure that happened and even got me my own platter to enjoy with my husband out in the courtyard before we went inside for the reception.

Not only were Chauncey and Riley there for me in terms of our wedding, but when my grandmother passed away two days before the wedding, they made sure that they were there for me and my family personally, too. They were simultaneously a shoulder to cry on and they lifted my spirits so that I could enjoy our big day. To our surprise, a few days later at my grandmother’s funeral, the most beautiful floral arrangement was delivered from Chauncey and Riley. That gesture meant so much to me and my family. They go above and beyond and genuinely care about all of their clients. I can not say enough wonderful things about Bouquet and Bowties and highly recommend them to everyone planning a wedding in the Charleston area!

Amazing in every way!!

Chauncey and her team were AMAZING in planning and executing our wedding. I am super type-A and am from out of state so I thought planning from afar would be challenging. With Chauncey it couldn’t have been easier! She and her team kept me informed every step of the way and completely saw my vision. They were so organized. Our wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined. Riley was amazing and helped with our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner set up! Highly recommend this incredible team!!!

Amazing Alhambra Hall wedding

Chauncey, Riley, and the whole Bouquets and Bowties team were the perfect choice as wedding planners and wedding coordinators. All of our communication during the wedding planning time was prompt, clear, and thorough, and they made sure everything from the vendors to the floor plan to the minute-by-minute timeline were planned exactly. On the wedding day, Chauncey and Riley made sure everything ran so smoothly that neither my mom nor I had anything to worry about!! When we had to make a decision about whether or not to have our outdoor wedding outside or inside due to an incoming rain storm, Chauncey and Riley knew exactly what to do -- they gave us complete freedom to still have the outdoor ceremony and were ready with umbrellas for all guests in case it sprinkled a little bit. Chauncey and Riley made the whole wedding planning process as easy as it can possibly be and made the whole wedding day run smoothly so my husband, family, and I could just enjoy. I can't recommend them enough!

A Beautiful Charleston Wedding!

Chauncey and her team are fabulous! My daughter had a vision of what her Charleston wedding would be and Bouquets and Bowties helped her execute that vision. They were a calming and supportive team that helped us make decisions and made the day beautiful and fun. We enjoyed the day and they took care of all the last minute details. Chauncey and her team are the best!

Hiring them was the best decision ever!

Wow were we lucky to be able to book these ladies! It was a little over a year out from our date that we started interviewing wedding planners (and thank God we did, because things book up in Charleston SO fast), and as soon as we started talking with Chauncey and Riley we knew before we even got off the phone with them that they were the ones we wanted.

Riley ended up being the lead planner for us, and I have to admit that when they told us that I was concerned because she is so young looking, and I figured she couldn’t possibly be very experienced. I’m here to tell you: DO NOT LET LOOKS DECEIVE YOU!! She is absolutely on top of her game! For being as young as she is, you would think she’s been doing this her whole life. I promise you, you are in the best hands you could possibly be in if Riley Johnson is planning your wedding.

I can’t even tell you how many times she was there to reassure me that everything would be perfect and to ease my anxieties about everything coming together, and she was right: Everything did turn out perfectly, because of HER. It literally rained all day on our wedding day right up until our ceremony. Our reception area was completely flooded out, and on the fly she came up with the perfect back-up plan and saved everything. I don’t know how she pulled it off, other than she is just AMAZING at what she does. And probably a genius lol.

From beginning to end, she saw to it that my vision for my dream wedding came true. I am literally about to cry happy tears just writing this and thinking of how grateful I am that we had her. She really took the best care of us, and she will take the best care of you too if you are lucky enough to to get to have her as your planner.

So have I raved about Riley enough?? The answer is no, because it’s not possible. We love you Riley. Thank you for giving us the best day ever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
