Cynthia is amazing. Beautiful July wedding with a rainbow!

We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out. It was absolutely beautiful. The package was so affordable and Cynthia was amazing to work with. We had our ceremony and reception at North Shore Hotel and Jan, the restaurant owner, provided us with fabulous meals and was a wonderful bar tender. Everyone liked him and our guests were raving about the food afterward. The cake Cynthia ordered us came out exactly like the picture I sent her. My flowers were exactly how I had them planned in my head. Cynthia made what should be a very stressful planning event so easy for us. Every tweak we made she took care of without a headache. Even my parents, who I’ll admit are hard to please, loved how everything came together and enjoyed getting to know Cynthia. Cynthia’s assistant was also a delight and had us at ease on the big day. The photographer, Barry took absolutely beautiful photos. People keep asking me who my photographer was and were complimenting how beautiful the pictures came out. We live in Pennsylvania so all our planning with Cynthia was via phone and email, so you’d think it’d be nerve racking planning a wedding in a different state, but Cynthia and Myrtle Beach wedding etc. made it all so easy. Cynthia has been doing this many years and we even had the pleasure of her marrying us! She is kind, warm and great at what she does. We even got a rainbow on our big day in time for pictures. Everything came out beautifully and I couldn’t thank Cynthia and all the crew at Myrtle Beach Wedding etc. enough!!

Exceptional service from start to finish

We couldn't have had a more perfect wedding, all thanks to Cynthia & Catherine. They were wonderful right from the start. It was a destination wedding so we relied on them for their expertise in everything! So many wonderful recommendations, and yet were very flexible by allowing us to be as little or as much involved with each aspect of the wedding as we wanted to be. The actual wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be and could not have been more perfect. The venue, flowers, officiant, food, service, wedding cake, DJ, were all PERFECT! And the recommendation of the sand ceremony was so unique! Everyone just loved it! It will be a day we will cherish forever!

Best Wedding Planner in Myrtle Beach!!

Cynthia and everyone that worked with her were absolutely amazing!!! From the very beginning she was in constant touch with us regarding everything we wanted for our dream wedding. Everything was perfect! From the fresh flower bouquets, boutineers and flower decorations, to the wedding cake, music and dinner. She was amazing!! We wanted a video to music along with our pictures and we received both within a few days. Pictures and wedding video to music were very professional and well done. I chose yellow sunflowers and white roses for our flowers and every flower was perfect and fresh! Thank you Cynthia for all your hard work! Our dream wedding was perfect and I’m so glad we chose you to help make it that way 💛🌻😊

Exceptional

From day one Cynthia was professional , knowledgeable, informative, sweet and just all around lovely! I live in Georgia and she handled EVERYTHING! Any adjustments that I wanted to make she had the flexibility to oblige me. I’m happily married and don’t plan on doing this again but I would suggest to all who are looking for a wonderfully planned event with no worries..... use Myrtle Beach weddings, etc.
