A little bit about East Coast Creative...
We pride ourselves on having great relationships both with clients and vendors here in the Charleston area. Bringing your vision to life is our top priority, and finding the best vendor team to make that happen is essential! No two weddings or events are alike, and for that reason, we love to personalize every aspect of the event to the specific couple or client. We also are all for advocating for our couples and always doing all we can to make your vision come to life, whether it is something you have in mind or something we create together!

Services Offered

Full and partial service planning are our primary offerings, with options to add on additional events such as rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and farewell brunches! Both full and partial packages begin one year before the event date and cover most of your planning process! Detailed package services are available on our website as well as through request. A small number of "day of" couples are taken each year. These packages begin either two or four months prior to the special day; package offerings will be determined case by case.

You NEED Amanda

Amanda at East Coast creative is the best of the best in Charleston - if you are planning a wedding you NEED to have Amanda as apart of your team. She is incredible to work with - organized, communicative, trustworthy, and beyond talented. We got married at Old Wide Awake in October 2025 - she worked with our budget perfectly and genuinely created the wedding of our dreams. In terms of decor/design, it was hard for me to put into words what I wanted, but Amanda just knew. She created the most stunning design board that somehow was exactly what I had in my head but even better, and she brought it to life perfectly. The day of our wedding Amanda and her team, didn’t let us lift a finger and handled everything from set up to break down. We were able to joy our day without ANY stress… if something went wrong we have no idea because Amanda had it handled. It was the most perfect day of our entire lives and all our families and friends were raving about how amazing Amanda/East Coast Creative was!

Brought our vision to life

It was a pleasure to work with Amanda from our very first meeting. She helped us find our dream venue right away, after months of searching unsuccessfully on our own. She also helped us build a vision for our wedding that felt like us. She was a calming presence throughout the (at times stressful) planning process and was very organized with great attention to detail. We loved Amanda’s get-it-done approach, executing things quickly and efficiently. Amanda was respectful of our budget which was important to us and helped us get creative to stay within it. With her help, we had a flawless wedding day!

We also loved being able to support her as a female entrepreneur building her business and her brand. We would recommend Amanda to anyone for help planning their wedding!

Amazing day!

We used East Coast Creative for their day-of services, but they were amazing even before the big day. From the beginning, they really helped our vision come to life with fantastic recommendations and creative ideas.

The team's professionalism, attention to detail, and seamless coordination ensured everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. They handled all the behind-the-scenes logistics, allowing us to enjoy the day stress-free. It was clear they truly cared about making the day perfect.

Even though we only hired East Coast Creative for day-of services, they went above and beyond to assist us prior to the wedding, offering advice and support. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help make our day as special as it was.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who will bring your vision to life and make the process enjoyable, we highly recommend East Coast Creative! Thank you for everything!

Amanda is amazing!

I cannot say enough great things about Amanda, she was attentive, funny, down to earth, caring, professional, affordable, and made the entire wedding planning process so easy. I had ZERO doubts that she would get the job done and that she would get things handled for us. I felt like I gained a friend and that this wasn't just a job for her, she TRULY cared about us. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to everyone!

Thank you Amanda

Planning a wedding is absolutely exhausting. It’s so important that you have someone on your team that is kind, patient, detail-oriented.

The best thing I can say about Amanda is that she doesn’t need to be told a single thing twice.
Your tiniest details will be remembered and executed.

I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be to manage the ego you will have planning your big day

My wife and I would be sitting here forever looking for something more we could’ve expected from Amanda, or some way our wedding and everything before and after could’ve been better.

We are so grateful to her for giving us the day we always dreamed of.

You should be so lucky to have her in charge of the most important day of your life.

I will be grateful to you forever, Amanda

kindly
Brian Houston

Unique vision, flawlessly executed!

Amanda is the absolute best!! Creative vision and design, organized in the planning and execution of an event... and all with a big smile on her face!

I am a wedding officiant in town, Amanda and I planned a styled shoot and networking event in the Fall of 2023. First, after touring the venue, Amanda created a design and theme for the event that was totally unique... Saratoga X Charleston. The historic space in Charleston was a beautiful backdrop to the event! Amanda carefully curated a beautiful style board.

We had 30 vendors that contributed their products and services to the styled shoot and networking event. Everything from dresses, suits, florals, stationary, decore, candles, custom perfumes, photobooth, marquee letters, balloon arches, etc. Amanda was perfectly able to bring her original vision to life, with the contributions and unique styles of each of the participating vendors.

The styled shoot was then topped off with a networking event for wedding vendors, to which we had approximately 180 attendees. It was a real feat, none of which would have been remotely possible without Amanda.

If you are looking for a wedding planner with truly unique and beautiful design ideas, the ability to execute the ideas and bring them to life, and the experience to manage the planning and day of process, Amanda is your girl. I feel extraordinarily lucky to have worked with Amanda so closely this last year, and I look forward to seeing all the beautiful events she executes in the years to come!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
