Invaluable!
As an event planner myself, I knew the use of a planner would be invaluable for our destination wedding in Charleston. I interviewed a series of wedding planners to try and find the right match, but as soon as I talked with Lauren I knew she was “the one.” From the moment I started working with Lauren, I knew we were in great hands. She is extremely organized, proactive, resourceful and responsive – all the things one should look and hope for in a wedding planner. Her and Katie make a fabulous team and were always just an email or phone call away if I ever had any questions throughout the planning process.

One of the best parts of working with the ELM team was seeing them bring my vision for our wedding to life. Although I was responsible for choosing and contracting with vendors, they handled every single aspect of the rentals we had to bring in for our venue (i.e., chairs, tables, linens, bars, furniture – the list goes on and on). I can’t tell you how big of a stress reliever it was to have the ELM team handle this for me. Not only in ordering the rentals, but handling the delivery, set up, and dismantle as well. Every single aspect of the look/design was perfect, and better than we could have ever imagined. They truly made my wedding dreams come true!
I should also mention that Lauren and Katie ALWAYS respected my budget and left every final decision up to me.
But by and large the biggest value the ELM teams bring is their complete dedication to the job, and day-of coordination. I can confidently say that I did not have ONE worry when I work up on my wedding morning – I knew Lauren & Katie had everything handled. The week before the wedding, Lauren had sent out an email to our vendor’s with our wedding timeline. This ensured that all of our vendors knew where to be when, who was responsible for what, and how the event would flow.
They worked tirelessly all morning/afternoon to set up while we were getting ready in the bridal suite. They ensured every member of our wedding party knew where to go when, while also providing any emotional support I may have needed to calm my nerves. When the ceremony was over, they greeted me and my new husband with our favorite cocktails. When we returned back from photos, Lauren huddles us in a room so we could sneak some food down, fill out our marriage licenses and have a moment together alone before we were surrounded by friends and family congratulating us. Lauren and Katie took care of us, and it made every moment that much more special.
My biggest fear for my wedding day was that I wasn’t going to be able to be present – I’m someone who is always caught up in the details, trying to make sure everyone else is having a good time, before I kick back and relax myself. But with Katie & Lauren, I was 100 percent present for every single moment of the wedding. It was the most emotional, joyous day of our lives, and we are SO incredibly thankful to the ELM team for making that possible.
With Lauren and Katie you are in the BEST hands.

{rescheduled} November Wedding Amazing-ness
We used ELM Events for our November 24th wedding at Lowndes Grove in Charleston, and to say they were amazing wouldn't do them justice. Our original date was September 15th, but we had to reschedule because of Hurricane Florence. As a bride, it was my worst nightmare come true, but Lauren swiftly sprung to action to reschedule literally EVERY vendor for our new date (even more incredible knowing how competitive the Charleston wedding market is). Things were rebooked in a matter of hours. She called me to assure me everything was going to be beautiful and it completely put my mind at ease. And it was the best day ever- the proof is in the pictures.

Hire them now!!
My husband and I used the partial planning package from ELM Events for our wedding this past weekend and they. were. amazing. My husband and I both agree Hiring ELM was the best money we spent - we were unsure whether we really needed a planner, but I literally cannot imagine how we could have pulled off the wedding without them! Like most couples, we were pretty inexperienced in all things wedding, and Lauren and Katie were there to help and guide us every step of the way. We loved all their recommended vendors we used (though we did go with a few of our own as well) and they worked with us to create a design plan that exactly fit our style and budget. About ~6 weeks out from the wedding, they took over all logistics, vendor communication, and final preparations - I can't stress how valuable this was for us!! We were able to enjoy our last few weeks of being engaged and feel confident that everything on our big day would run smoothly with Lauren and Katie in charge. We ended up having some last minute changes we were considering due to weather -- they were amazingly flexible, kind, and gave invaluable advice. On the day of the wedding, they managed every last detail from the vendors setting up our rentals to getting the groom mic'ed for the ceremony to corralling our wedding party for their entrances, making sure we always had food & a drink, and cleaning up everything afterwards. I can't thank them enough for making our wedding the best day ever and allowing us to truly enjoy the day!!!
