I can not recommend Loraine and Invitation Only highly enough! She not only assisted with all design aspects, rentals, vendor contracts, floor plan, etc. she became a HERO when we had to cancel my daughter’s wedding two weeks before the planned date due to Covid. Loraine immediately contacted all vendors, assisted in determining a new wedding date, and rescheduled vendors. She did her job twice!!! She was also amazing on the day of the wedding! As the mother of the bride I had to do nothing! When the wedding guitarist’s car broke down and was unable to make the ceremony Loraine immediately enlisted the help of the DJ who moved/set up equipment and downloaded all of the songs my daughter had chosen for the ceremony. Loraine provided a much more stress-free event than I could’ve ever imagined! If the occasion arises I will certainly use Invitation Only and Loraine again...this was absolutely the best money I spent!

From the very first call with Loraine and her team at Invitation Only, I knew we were in the best hands. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Loraine made the entire process smooth, organized, and—most importantly—enjoyable.
Of course, she checks all the boxes you’d expect from a top-tier wedding planner: creative, organized, well-connected, and an excellent communicator. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to bring a vision to life in ways beyond your imagination. Like many little girls, I had dreamed of my wedding day since childhood, and somehow, Loraine made it even better than what I had envisioned.
A Stress-Free Experience
I tend to be scatterbrained, trying to do a hundred things at once, and planning a wedding from out of town only added to the complexity. But Loraine had every detail covered, from my trips to Charleston to the smallest aspects of the wedding day itself. I truly just had to show up. She anticipated my needs before I even realized them, always ten steps ahead. I am sure there were countless issues that arose behind the scenes, but I never knew about them—because Loraine and her team handled everything seamlessly.
The Ultimate Problem Solver
Flexibility is crucial in a wedding planner, and Loraine excels in this area. Things will change—it’s inevitable. But she always had a Plan B, C, and even D ready to go. Her ability to pivot without stress or hesitation made the entire experience so much easier. She solved problems before they became problems, ensuring that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
Expertise & Connections That Make a Difference
Loraine is not only well-connected in the industry, but she’s also deeply respected. This goes a long way when working with vendors, coordinating logistics, and bringing a vision to life. She is also incredible with budgeting—like, truly incredible. She understands where to allocate funds for the best guest experience and knows how to make strategic trade-offs without sacrificing quality. She helped us maximize our budget while ensuring that every detail reflected the experience we wanted.
A Team That Feels Like Family
Loraine has built an amazing team, and their attention to detail extends beyond just the bride and groom. My flower girls still talk about Mr. Jeremy and how special he made them feel—even a year later! That speaks volumes. The entire Invitation Only team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that we could simply be present and enjoy our day.
A Bride Who Got to Be a Guest
Plain and simple: I was a guest at my own wedding, and that is the highest compliment I can give. From the first planning meeting to the moment Loraine handed us our cell phones and IDs before our grand exit, she took care of absolutely everything.
My wedding was truly the best day of my life, and it was because Loraine, Jeremy, Levi, and the rest of the Invitation Only team made it happen. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, stop searching and book them now. I don’t know how they do it—but I am forever grateful that they do.

We can't recommend Invitation Only, LLC enough! Loraine was so immensely helpful in the months leading up to our wedding. And then on the big day, she and her teammate Levi completely went above and beyond. I can't imagine what we would have done without them! Every detail was thoughtfully considered and taken care of. The trust that Loraine built with us really allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the day.

From the moment we signed the contract, it was clear that she approached planning in both a positive and transparent manner, exploring every option to help make our vision come to life. She provided fantastic recommendations for vendor partners and leveraged her extensive connections in the industry to make the planning process as painless as possible. If you are considering booking Invitation Only for your event (and why wouldn't you be?!), this is your sign to do it!
