4/4/26 wedding in Charleston

We got married on 4/4/26 at Lovegrove Estate and used Goldbug Events for our wedding planning. We picked the Bumblebee limited wedding planning option and it was perfect for us as we had chosen our vendors but needed help tying up loose ends the month before the wedding. Caroline Atkinson was our planner/wedding coordinator and she was an absolute dream! She started assisting about a month to month and a half prior to our wedding day and was such a huge help. She scheduled video calls with us to go over our vision, timeline, layouts, etc. She is very organized and we utilized a google drive to keep all contracts, invoices, decor, and all wedding information organized. She was always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concerns we had. Goldbug also has a decor list of things you can borrow for your big day which was super helpful!. It was such a relief not having to answer 100 emails a week in the weeks leading up to our wedding and having assistance with communication. She helped our rehearsal run smooth and made sure everyone felt confident with their roles and walking order. On the wedding day, she kept everything perfectly on track with a calm vibe that made everyone feel relaxed for the day. She and her assistant made sure every detail that I envisioned was executed and I could not have had a more chill and perfect wedding day. There are not enough ways to thank her and Goldbug Events enough and I seriously could not recommend them more!!

Can’t recommend this team enough!

Caroline and her team were exceptional. Aside from becoming genuine friends during the process of wedding planning, Goldbug Events was overly communicative, handled outside vendors with ease, and encouraged my ideas until they became reality! As a designer myself, it was so fun to work with the Goldbug team and brainstorm ideas for printed goods, custom signs, menus etc.! Regarding the day off, our wedding couldn’t have gone smoother. Our timeline implementation was flawless. I can’t recommend this team enough!!

An Evening to Remember!

Caroline from GBE was amazing! There was so much background work done that I didn’t even probably realize needed to be thought about or done, which made for a stress free afternoon/evening! Leading up to the event she was always available via text or email to help my mom and I with anything we needed. Everything at our wedding went as smooth as it possibly could! She kept my husband and I fed and always a drink in our hand! GBE really goes the extra mile providing various things to borrow ie reserved seat signs, cupcake holders, and she saved the day when I needed Bobby pins for a windy ceremony! She also talked me off the ledge when I wanted to cut out my build in pads of my dress 10 minutes before the ceremony 😂 . These gals are the way to go if you are looking for extra support on your big day! 🤍🥂

Destination Wedding in Charleston

I contacted Caroline at Goldbug Events when my daughter and her fiancé decided they wanted to get married in Charleston. We lived in North Carolina so having someone in Charleston to help us with the wedding planning was needed. We hired Goldbug for partial planning. Caroline was there for us from day one of planning until we were all packed up at the end of the wedding night. She was so attentive to the details, recommended vendors and kept us on track during the year. She is so sweet and was always quick to respond to emails and answering any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistants worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was carried out. I didn’t have to worry about anything and could mingle with the guests and focus on celebrating with my daughter and her new husband. We started with a wedding planner and ended up with a sweet friend. I highly recommend Goldbug Events for wedding planning! You will not regret it!

Amazing Wedding Planner

Caroline and her team were an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, they were organized, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They took our vision and brought it to life, making the entire planning process seamless and stress-free.

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe so much of that to Caroline and her incredible team. If you’re looking for a team that will go above and beyond to make your big day unforgettable, look no further. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Great from the very beginning! We started with a phone call to chat through vision, ideas, budget, etc. and they brought it all to reality.

Absolutely wonderful to work with. Personalities and work ethics were professional, calming and yet very productive and efficient. The welcome packet with all the recommendations for vendors was extremely helpful. Once we made the decisions of which vendors to go with and sharing what we wanted Goldbug took over dealing with the logistics, details, and communication. The whole day ran smoothly and went better than I could have imagined. The flowers were stunning and so well done! Absolutely loved my bouquet! When we walked into the reception our planner immediately offered us an app plate and drink. The planner continued to check in on how we were doing, if we needed anything, kept things flowing. Again, the whole wedding was such a dream come true and went seamlessly from beginning to end.

The best!

I don’t even know where to begin with how pleased we were with Goldbug Events. Both Caroline Montieth, the owner, and our lead planner, Caroline Atkinson, were professional, personable, knowledgeable and extremely responsive.

Their guidance, vendor recommendation and planning guide made the planning process so smooth, stress free and enjoyable. We could not have been happier with the vendors we chose (most of which were recommended from Caroline!). All of our vendors also told us how much they enjoy working with Goldbug Events!

I was so at ease going into our wedding day because I knew I was in the best hands. Our ceremony and reception were PERFECT because of Caroline A’s close attention to detail, planning and execution. Her assistant, Abigail, was amazing too and met every need we had throughout the day.

You will not regret choosing the Goldbug team to plan your big day!!

To the Goldbug gals- THANK YOU!!!!! We love you!
