Booking a wedding planner can be one of the hardest decisions in the wedding planning process because they have such a direct impact on how your day unfolds — and we are SO incredibly glad we chose Brooke with Boutique Planning.

From our very first introductory call, Brooke exuded warmth and calmness while also instilling immediate confidence that she could handle every detail flawlessly. Throughout the entire planning process, she was responsive, proactive, enthusiastic, kind, and endlessly reassuring. She took the time not only to truly get to know my husband and me on a personal level, but also to fully understand our vision for the day and the elements that mattered most to us.

As a very Type A person, I knew I needed a planner I could fully trust in order to be present and actually enjoy my wedding day. Brooke gave me so much confidence that somehow my usual day-to-day Type A personality transformed into the most relaxed, Type B bride all weekend long — which says everything.

Even when my bustle decided to misbehave, Brooke kept me calm and handled it immediately. I also personally watched her interact with every vendor and guest with nothing but kindness, patience, and professionalism.

People always tell you to prepare for the inevitable — that something is bound to go wrong and you just have to accept it. But by the grace of God, along with Brooke’s incredible preparation, organization, and foresight, I did not notice a single mishap or experience one moment of stress during our entire wedding weekend.

Brooke — I am so incredibly grateful for you and all that you did throughout this process. I will genuinely miss our chats, and I wish you nothing but the very best.

Potential brides: if you want a seamless, stress-free, calming, and beautifully executed wedding day, Brooke is your girl!!!

Boutique Planning was fabulous! Their help and guidance with the wedding planning was very helpful. Their recommendations for vendors and the professionals we needed for the affairs were excellent. They importantly kept us organized and on task. We feel that Ashley truly helped us create just the tone of the affair that we were hoping for...beautiful, laid back, and welcoming to our family and guests. And we were able to stay relaxed and not stressed about any of the details. We both have so many sweet memories of what was a wonderful weekend!

All kidding aside my daughter’s wedding at the Sanctuary fell at the same week a Nor’easter went up the east coast. Along with torrential rain, flooding and Kings tide, our year long outdoor wedding seemed doomed. However Ashley and team sprung into turbo action and resolved conflicts and annoyances from the event space. She took the burden off our shoulders and allowed us to enjoy a beautiful day celebrating our daughter and son in law in spite of the weather. She even brought rain boots for my daughter to get pictures on the beach when the weather cleared for a few hours. Who thinks of that??? When someone goes above and beyond in the most difficult circumstances to make their clients happy says something about ther passion and dedication to their profession.
Ashley was a gem and joy to work with. Her personality is always upbeat, even when we were stressed or worried about the insignificant things parents or the bride worry about. She navigated us properly from the very beginning to this day as we are dealing with things left at the venue and how to ship home to Rochester. The only thing she couldn’t do was give us good weather.
I strongly recommend boutique planners if you want personalized service, good communication and a hard working team that is focus on their clients. If I ever planned a wedding again, (and i will not! 1 and only daughter 😉), I would only hire Ashley.

Brooke with Boutique Planning did an amazing job! She was very easy to work with through out the entire wedding planning process and ensured the wedding day ran smoothly. All I had to do was show up and enjoy the day, Brooke and her team did everything else. They made sure everything stayed on schedule and that the entire day went off without any issues. They say everyone has some problem on their wedding day, but I can truly say we had none that I was aware of thanks to Brooke. I would highly recommend Boutique Planning and their team to help you get through this exciting adventure!

BOOK BROOKE!! We worked with Brooke for the last year and a half on making our big day special. Through COVID, change of dates, change of guest counts, change of seasons, etc, Brooke was our freakin' rock. She is an absolute lovely human being on top of being the most professional, reliable, supportive, and organized wedding planner you could ask for. She remembered every random detail and request we had, and made sure our day was perfect. It was a million times better than I ever could've dreamt, and Brooke made it all come to life behind the scenes. She is a true gem of the wedding planning industry and the best in the biz in Charleston, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend using her and her team. Thank you, Brooke, for the best day of our lives!!

Ashley and her team made our special day UNBELIEVABLE! Not only did they design a beautiful space but they also were there for our every need throughout the planning process. My husband and I received SO many compliments on how wonderful our wedding was. It wouldn’t have happened without Ashley and her team. We HIGHLY recommend Boutique Planning to anyone who is in search a wedding planner.

Ashley is so kind, funny and laid back which made the decision so easy when it came to a planner for our wedding! We couldn't have asked for a better team than Ashley, Brooke and Becky. Ashley was always 5 steps ahead and ready to make any recommendation or answer any question when it came to planning our wedding. She also made rescheduling due to covid an absolute BREEZE. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect and seamless day to celebrate our marriage and it is truly all thanks to BP. You certainly won't regret these ladies planning your wedding!

Brooke Southern Miller at Boutique Planning is the absolute BEST! We recommend her wholeheartedly for wedding planning. 

We got married in March 2019 in Charleston, S.C. We had so many details to work through  - a completely outdoor wedding at Lowndes Grove, which essentially involves building a reception from scratch on their beautiful site; creating the wedding ceremony from start to finish; and incorporating our families, 13 bridesmaids and eight groomsmen into the ceremony. We really wanted it to be fun, personal and special. Brooke delivered in every way, executing our vision and every detail flawlessly.

Brooke was there for us from our first phone call through the end of the reception. She is very attentive, extremely detail oriented and organized, incredibly knowledgeable, and exceedingly kind and patient. She handled all of my questions - of which there were many - with care. She really took the time to listen and provide guidance throughout the entire process. She was always available to talk via call, text, email or in person. She even came to my final fitting since my family wasn't in town yet! It can be a very stressful time, so having a skilled, warm person guiding you is absolutely crucial. 

The planning was so thoughtfully done and detailed. The wedding day, ceremony and reception were handled seamlessly and beautifully. Everyone raved about how lovely, sweet and stunning our wedding was, and most importantly, our families were so happy, and so were we! I have no doubt that the wedding we had was made possible through Brooke's expertise. She knows the vendors. She plans every detail. She thinks of the little things and the big things. She has your back. She is a joy to be around - kind, funny and calm. Seriously, hire her now! You will be thrilled! We are so very grateful. Thank you, Brooke!

Where do I even begin!? Brooke was hands down the best choice we made when choosing a wedding planner and we would recommend her to ANYONE getting married in the Charleston area! She's absolutely amazing! My husband and I are from New Jersey but actually met and went to the College of Charleston. When searching for a wedding planner, we wanted someone who was not only experienced with long distance wedding planning but someone we could relate to on a personal level. Brooke graduated from CofC so right off the bat we had that in common. She was incredible inside and out. She was so beyond patient with us and always knew what to say when I would start to get stressed about absolutely anything. She always had a very relaxing tone and whenever something wouldn't go totally as planned, she always figured out an alternative. She gave me vendors to choose from for every category- all vendors were within our budget which meant A LOT. She never tried to make us spend more money than we had to and helped us cut costs with anything we could. She knew what was important to us and honestly found the best vendors in Charleston. Any time we came down to Charleston, Brooke made time to meet with us and go through everything so thoroughly. She was incredibly organized, extremely detailed oriented and was always thinking about things to make our day even better. Her timeline was updated at each session that we would meet, which I appreciated so much. She was available via text, email and even long phone calls at any time during our year and a half engagement. She's really personable and so naturally becomes one of your best friends while planning the best day of your life.

Day of- she was INCREDIBLE. Everything went completely seamless (or at least we did not notice a single thing that went wrong). We had SIX kids in our ceremony and she even managed to have them all walk down the aisle (impressive!). She coordinated our two singers for the ceremony with the string players without me having to get involved at all. Nothing went unnoticed. Every little detail of our wedding day got complimented- even the napkins and names on the tables that Brooke recommended. EVERY LITTLE DETAIL was perfect. Two months later, and I still have guests telling me how fantastic our wedding planner was. She made sure we always had a drink in our hand (water or specialty!) and made sure we ate our delicious dinner. She even saved us a bunch of food for after the wedding.

We really can't recommend Brooke enough. I even miss texting with her weekly! She's very talented and has a million connections with vendors all over Charleston, you will not be disappointed. We would choose Brooke over and over again. She is worth EVERY PENNY!
