Kathleen, was our wedding coordinator.
She went beyond her role and became one of our closest friends. She was incredibly attentive to details and professional, always there, she met innumerable times with us before the wedding to attend every detail and question we had. Handling tough moments with ease and fun. Her ability to make everything seem effortless in key times is truly remarkable!

Kathleen's dedication, resourcefulness, and humble professionalism made working with her a breeze. I would highly recommend her if you want extreme efficiency and unwavering support, especially on such a significant occasion as your wedding. Trusting her completely was a decision I would make again without hesitation.

Thank you, Kathleen, from the bottom of my heart, for creating unforgettable memories that are cherished in photos and videos by me, my family and guests.
Your exceptional skills and genuine care made our wedding day truly special!

I cannot recommend Kathleen & Buckley Events enough. Kathleen was absolutely amazing for the 1.5 years leading up to the wedding and the reason why our day was so perfect. As a bride even with possible rain on our wedding day, I could not have been more calm because of my confidence in Kathleen! Kathleen and her assistant were the reason our day was so magical. Not only is her experience/knowledge of the industry beyond helpful, but she is so kind and genuinely cares about every part of your day. I cannot recommend her and Buckley Events enough! You will be in wonderful hands!

Getting married during a pandemic was a decision my husband and I debated. When we decided to have a wedding but require masks we knew we would have an interesting time since our guests have divided views not he subject. We hired Kathleen to help us make the most of the day in spite of covid. She told us that we were the example and if we wore masks others would follow suit. We had a wonderful day even thought it was a little chilly. Kathleen handled shuffling display items around due to wind, and wrangled my all family and friend set-up / break down teams, and shifting our schedule when a snag made the food delayed. No one knew anything was wrong and the day went on peacefully. We wore our masks and so did the guests. We all had a wonderful time! I work in F&B so I was happy to have someone else at the helm and to take a breath and enjoy my day. Kathleen was perfect for me since I liked doing most of the planning and just need a good person to pass off to that day.

As my partner and I look back at the most epic day in our lives we realize that Buckley Events was more like insurance that everything would be perfect and it was. Throughout the process Kathleen consistently provided guidance that only someone who had extensive experience in weddings and events would know. In the age of Covid-19 and ever changing State rules and restrictions she was able to give recommendations as we pivoted to comply or risk the caterer, valet and entertainment canceling. Our number of guests needed to be reduced by half as the restrictions changed after the invitations had been sent months in advance. Her early recommendation was to have our wedding and reception at our estate in Virginia which ultimately allowed flexibility. Instead of canceling half of our guest list we hosted 2 weddings and 2 receptions at our home on the same day. Once we divided the guest list in half, sent new invitations electronically a timeline for the day needed to be executed as we could not go off schedule, not by even a little as there was 1 hour for the caterer to reset between our weddings. A dear friend married us on the day who became ordained just to officiate our wedding. Kathleen quietly researched the documentation and realized that there are 2 states in the US that do not allow this type of certification to perform a legal wedding and VA was one of them. Our dear friend married us on the day as we all smiled at one another but Kathleen had arranged another VA approved celebrant to come to our home the next day, it was seamless. There were so many touchpoints that have Kathleen’s mark, especially how we wanted to be photographed, her passion and understanding of photography helped position us and our sons for the most memorable shots.

After working with Kathleen for such a long time on this wedding we knew we could trust her as the day came. She asked us to relax, and enjoy our day, she would keep everything on track. We trusted her completely to pull of the impossible and she delivered beyond our imaginations. If you want to enjoy your wedding day, not have to worry about anything, protect your investment you need to hire Kathleen Buckley at Buckley Events!

Tara and I were referred to Kathleen through a family friend to help plan our wedding. Kathleen did such an awesome job from the start. She kept things so organized and easy for us to understand and prepare for. Our wedding day went on without stress (even during the COVID pandemic) because Kathleen had already planned for and taken care of things she thought might come up. We would highly recommend Kathleen & Buckley Events to anyone and everyone in the Charleston area.

Kathleen Buckley was an absolute delight to work with during the wedding planning process, the days leading up to it, and the day of. She is so warm and welcoming and I’m in no way exaggerating when I say our day wouldn’t have been possible without her. Literally, the first coordinator we worked with made me want to cancel the entire event, get married in front of a judge (not that there is anything wrong with that, in any way) and call it a day. Six months before our wedding we decided we weren’t a good fit and broke it off to plan for ourselves. Kathleen was highly recommended to us by the owner of the restaurant we had our rehearsal dinner and I couldn’t be more grateful we were connected to her. She turned our dreams into a reality. My husband had a little too much fun the night before and overheated and was touch and go for a while and Kathleen literally talked me off the ledge haha she has a heart of gold and I’m so happy she was a part of our day. Couldn’t recommend her enough 💜

All I can say is wow! Kathleen is so wonderful to work with and super supportive and encouraging. We were hesitant to hire a wedding planner due to the intimate nature of our wedding, but her attention to detail and expertise quickly came in handy. Without her I know for a fact our day would not have been as special. We got married on the beach in 2019 in the middle of one of the largest anticipated rain storms in December's history, and Kathleen made sure everything was perfect. She made sure we had a plan B, but ultimately allowed us to make the decision and made sure it was perfect despite the circumstances. I am eternally grateful to Kathleen and she will always be my recommendation when asked if I have a wedding planner contact. If you don't consider her for your special event, you are missing out!

If you're getting married anywhere in the Charleston area, there's no excuse for not hiring Kathleen Buckley. She was attentive throughout the entire wedding process, prompt with her responses, and amazingly committed to ensuring our big day was everything we could've dreamed of. All the vendors were organized perfectly, the timeline was executed to a T and we didn't have to worry about anything on the day-of. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

If you want to say "My wedding day went off a hitch," and genuinely mean it, Buckley Events is for you.

Kathleen is knowledgable, professional, and delightful to work with. It just doesn't get easier...we are very thankful that we found Kathleen and her assistant, Kim, to help with our daughter's wedding. Everything went off without a hitch and a great time was had by all! Kathleen tracked all vendor deliveries, set up at the club, timeline, photographer, food and beverage, the DJ, and every other aspect of the day. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding due to her efforts. Thanks very much, Kathleen!

Kathleen with Buckley Events was truly a joy to work with. She met with us multiple times ahead of the wedding to make sure we were completely comfortable and provided extremely prompt email support. She made sure our wedding day ran so smoothly. I never once had to think about where I needed to be or what was next. As a type A person myself, I really appreciated her attention to detail and comprehensive timeline. I know our venue and other vendors enjoyed working with her as well. I would absolutely recommend her services!
