Working with Stephanie was such an absolute pleasure in every way possible. It wasn't a vendor planning our wedding, it was a dear friend. I am a total 'type A' bride who was planning a destination wedding. I interviewed almost 10 full service planners and something just 'clicked' with Stephanie. She's a very down to earth, 'real' person, who just cares a lot about her clients. Throughout the entire process Stephanie was there to ensure that the day we envisioned was not only what we got, it was better! She was able to help steer us to amazing vendors and kept us within the budget we had set. Stephanie excels at the small details, and with just some broad guidelines, put together a day that our guests couldn't stop raving about. We planned the wedding from about as far away from Charleston as possible (Sydney, AU) and could not have done anything without Stephanie. Even though distance prevented us from talking for long periods of time, Stephanie was always a step ahead of our thoughts. And the decor, we cannot say enough about how creative, artistic, and resourceful she was. She also did our flowers, which ended up being one of my favorite parts of the day! It was perfection defined. We can't recommend her enough!

I wish I could rank Stephanie higher in the Value category! Stephanie was my day of coordinator for my wedding in August. I looked around quite a bit and obtained several quotes from other wedding planners in the area before I made a final decision. Looking back, I can definitely say Stephanie, BY FAR, offers the best value for your money. I really don't know what I would've done without her. From beginning to end, she was there and made sure I stayed close to my budget. Stephanie thought of things I had completely forgotten and kept me on track leading up to the wedding and the day of. She was extremely organized, responsive, and overall, VERY pleasant to work with! She also offered some great ideas and recommendations on vendors which, in the end, saved me a considerable amount of money. With regards to my actual wedding reception, I can't say enough. It was so nice to REALLY be able to enjoy the night with my friends and family. Stephanie took care of everything I didn't want to worry about and stayed on top of the vendors to make sure everything was perfect. She also packed us an amazing to go box of all of our wedding food and cake! One of my best memories is eating the wedding cake with my now husband in our hotel room after the reception!

Sweet Grass Events and their staff helped our wedding flow very smoothly. Everything turned out perfect, I would definitely reccommend Sweet Grass Events to anyone in need of a wedding or party planner.

Stephanie is a VERY talented event planner and floral designer. In several meetings with my daughter and I, Stephanie clearly understood the vision that my daughter wanted for her wedding and seamlessly created them for her. She confirmed with vendors ahead of time and coordinated them perfectly the day of. There was nothing for us to do except relax and enjoy which we DID! The flowers, decor, and layout matched the feel of the venue. The wedding day ran smoothly due to her detailed timeline. Stephanie will be coordinating my younger daughter's wedding is just 4 months. I can't wait to see what she does for Betsy!

My wife and I can not say enough about the quality of service that Stephanie provided us in putting togehter our daughter's Wedding. It was a joyful experience working this young women. In addition I forgot to mention that not only do she do an outstanding job as our planner but she also did the flower's for the event. A wonderful job and presentation. If you are planning a special event Stephanie Gibbs is the person you want. An absolute pleasure to work with.

I wish I could add another star on the value for cost! Stephanie was our life saver that day!

Our wedding was PERFECT! I had only 40 DAYS to plan a wedding, and I (the bride) wasn't even living in the area, so finding Stephanie was an answered prayer. She was very responsive to my ideas; she picked up on my vision and preferences very quickly, even the unusual ones (like the classical music concert in lieu of dancing). She was EXCELLENT with my very detail-oriented mother, even when my mother and I changed around a lot of things that Stephanie or we had already planned--the location, the schedule, the number of guests, table-seating, and so forth (and remember, all of our changes were happening with less than a month before the wedding day!) Stephanie was fine with the adjustments, but she also had the courage to voice her concerns or thoughts, which was helpful.

I love that Stephanie is down-to-earth and not at all pretentious. I felt comfortable talking to her and found her to be very pleasant. Also, she will do an excellent job taking care of you throughout the whole process. For example, when I had to leave a meeting early, she made sure to get my mom to a soccer game and even loaned her a bleacher seat and umbrella! Such great service, above and beyond expectations! Stephanie also responds quickly to emails and phone calls throughout the process and she does an excellent job keeping everything on track the day of the wedding--without appearing stressed! Rather, she is there as a friend and supporter who you hardly notice (she doesn't draw undue attention to herself), she just appears whenever you need her or quietly reminds you that it's time to cut the cake.

I can also say that Stephanie knows her stuff and has great familiarity and vendor contacts in the Charleston area. She is a do-it-herself person, so she handled all the flowers, programs, and decor for us and everything was perfect. The flowers were gorgeous.

Really, we could not have been happier! After only 40 Days of planning, we had the wedding beyond our dreams—Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie was a gem to work with. I am one of those crazy DIY brides who hesitated to hire a coordinator, but I am so glad that I did!! Stephanie orchestrated the rehearsal and the wedding day beautifully. Brides, here is a tip....you will be SO GLAD that you have someone to take care of issues on your wedding day if you hire a coordinator! Stephanie set out all of the decorations and made sure that everything ran smoothly. She made sure that everyone was in place for the ceremony and sent the bridesmaids down the aisle at the right time. She kept up with the schedule for the day and answered questions from family/friends. - This allowed me to fully enjoy the day without stress. I would highly recommend working with Stephanie!!

Stephanie was hands down amazing!!! She was great with working with my budget first off and so helpful along the way during my engagement. She was very easy to get in touch with, answered all my questions even though I hired her strictly for day of coordination so that was amazing of her and definitely not required since I wasn't paying her for all my hundred million questions. The day of she was so soooo awesome. She was super friendly and able to keep everyone in line and on point. She also was really great about brining me and my hubby drinks whenever we needed them and before we were even introduced she brought us a plate of the passed appetizers so we could try one of everything as well as cocktails :) for dinner she brought us both full plates and gave us some time to eat and actually get to enjoy ourselves! One of my favorite things about her, she was really good about pulling you away from people who were cornering us for long periods of time so we could go have fun and talm to other people- that was much appreciated! Overall, she's amazing and you should call her immediately if you're engaged even if its just day of coordination she will make your wedding or special event that much better!

So many great things to say about Sweet Grass Events! Stephanie Gibbs was the best decision I made about my wedding (besides saying yes, of course). She is so professional and knowledgeable. When I arrived at our first meeting, she already had a very organized notebook dedicated specifically to my event. She wrote down everything we talked about. And she even used different colored ink for each meeting to distinguish them--oh I love it!! When I emailed her, she responded in a very timely fashion. The same for when I called and had to leave a message. Stephanie is dedicated to making sure the bride and groom can relax on their special day while she takes care of the details.

At the wedding, Stephanie had a timeline for everyone involved so each vendor would be on the same page. When we got there, she made sure we were comfortable, had what we needed and were ready to party. When it was time to do something (cake cutting/bouquet toss/etc) she just showed up and told me. I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING.

Stephanie kept the entire nigh flowing smoothly. She has a great relationship with local vendors which showed during the night. She made me breathe a sigh of relief when I saw her at the reception--I knew she was in control. All the hard work she did to make that night wonderful was evident.

I can't' say enough wonderful things about Sweet Grass Events by Stephanie Gibbs. Stephanie was the perfect addition to our perfect day!
