    Daughter's Wedding

    Holly was the wedding planner for my daughter's wedding. Hiring Holly was the best decision my daughter and her fiance could have made! They gave Holly their budget, ideas, likes & dislikes, what was important to them, and not so important. She recommended vendors, venues, and all that goes into planning a wedding. She provided a rehearsal & wedding day timeline for the bridal party, which was incredibly helpful! Holly respected their wishes, worked within the parameters given, and the final result was a beautiful wedding and reception exactly the way our daughter and fiance wanted, and without unwanted surprises! Even at the end of the reception, I thought I was going to have to pack up and load all the personal items, but I did not have to. Holly had already done it all and loaded it all into our car! We cannot thank her enough for all she did for each of us! I highly recommend A Charleston Event! Holly is professional, personable, and affordable! A must have for any event!

    I have been a driver for many of the events with "A Charleston Event". Holly is a dynamite planner. Every event I've helped with was professional and all I heard from the wedding party's and guests over the years was how it was the best wedding they have ever been to or a part of. I've driven for numerous weddings over the years and the ones that Holly has been in charge of were the best organized and orchestrated. Just #1 in my book. Thanks for the opportunity to drive for all of these couples on the most important day of their lives.

    I had the pleasure of working with Holly Simpson this September as she officiated a wedding with such grace and composure. Guests were raving about how eloquently she conducted the ceremony and even brought tears to their eyes. I would without a doubt recommend A Charleston Event to any future couples.

    Holly is an absolutely amazing resource! Her quick thinking, resourcefulness, and flexibility helped us work through dozens of small complications. Her focus on the details helped to make our wedding day the best day of my life. We are truly fortunate to have been able to work with her, she kept the focus on us and advocated for us at every possible turn. I would recommend anybody I have a conversation with to utilize here. She is an amazing woman!

    Holly was absolutely amazing through our entire process! As a groom marrying a bride who pays attention to small details Holly was able to help my wife find all the vendors and work with them to enable a beautiful wedding day. Holly made sure that the day of, the focus remained on both me and the bride. She was a huge component of it being the best day of my life. I honestly don't know how we would have been able to pull it off without her!

    We greatly appreciate that Holly took the time to learn the vows in Spanish!!! That certainly made our ceremony unique and special. Every reading she selected was beautiful and meaningful making that day truly exceptional.

    We feel blessed that our paths crossed!

    Holly made our wedding day (and everything leading up to it) go super smoothly! It was great to not have to worry about anything on my wedding day except getting my dress on - Holly took care of everything else! Additionally her design ideas were great! Our wedding would not have looked half as nice as it did without Holly's ideas and input.
    Holly is also very friendly and personable and immediately puts you at ease from the moment you meet her. We interviewed a lot of wedding planners but when we met Holly my husband, parents and I all knew she was the one to work with! The most valuable thing she did was calm my nerves throughout the entire planning process and on the day!

    Our wedding would not have been the same without Holly and A Charleston Event. Holly took what I was dreaming in my head and made it a reality. Not only does she listen to what you really want she made that happen with even a budget and from hundred of miles away. Although I lived in ohio planning a Charleston wedding I trusted her opinion every step of the way. At the end, she wasn’t just my wedding planner she was and still is a dear friend. Anyone who’s getting married in the Charleston area, I would HIGHLY recommend Holly and A Charleston Event!

    Holly was lovely throughout my planning process. She was understanding and flexible when things didn't go as planned on our wedding day, but everything turned out great and we couldn't have asked for a better officiant.

    She was very efficient and timely. She was very organized and ensured that both the bride and the group had everything they needed the day of the wedding, as well as the bridal party. Everything went perfect!

    Holly simpson was on point with the planning and execution of the wedding details. With the men she made sure they were ready and didn't take any BS as some of us tried to push the boundaries. With the ladies she was thoughtful throughout the planning and made sure it was a day to remember for Lynette. I would strongly recommend her services for anyone looking to plan the perfect wedding.

    Holly Simpson was simply amazing to work with. She genuinely cares about your wedding day as if it were her own, and she does a great job at personalizing your ceremony to be what the bride and groom want. She gently, professionally and gracefully led us through our vows in a way that made us feel so intimate and that each and every word is a treasure. I hadn't met Holly until our day before rehearsal and I felt like I had known her for years once we finally did meet. She made the planning of a destination wedding ceremony a breeze and I would recommend her to every single bride I know. Thank you Holly for helping make our wedding day so incredibly special and intimate for us!!!!

    Holly was the perfect officiant. She took care of things that I never thought of. She was professional and cared every step of the way while making it unique and special for us all while somehow putting us at ease. Our ceremony was genuine and absolutely everything I dreamed of all thanks to her. All the guests were raving about how amazing Holly was too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!!

    My husband and I decided to get married, literally at the last minute. (2-3 months before) We wanted an elopement style wedding but with a big wedding feel. I had reached out to at least 20 people looking for help and/or guidance and was continuously turned away. Then, I stumbled upon Holly! I called right away and received excellent customer service from our first conversation. Holly is so kind and always goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is scheduled, taken care of and perfect for your special day. (She even kindly helped calm my nervous and stressed self minutes before the ceremony) She took our small wedding and turned it into more than I had ever dreamed of! She worked great with our smaller budget and always replied right away when I had a question. I honestly would recommend her to everyone looking. If you are looking for the best? Holly is your girl!

    We found Holly at a wedding convention. We automatically liked her personality and thought she was very knowledgeable. We initially booked her as our officiant and she helped us figure out our ceremony details. 2 weeks prior to our wedding day we realized that we were becoming over our heads with wedding details. Holly was able to step in as our day of coordinator and helped us out greatly. Holly did an amazing job with coordinating with our vendors and bringing together all of my wedding details on the day of the wedding. She exceeded my expectations and was 100% worth the money. We were able to be stress free on the wedding day and would definitely recommend her!

    Holly is my favorite wedding planner in town!!! I have worked with her on numerous events over my 11 years in Charleston and she is amazing! She has a talent for planning weddings and she loves what she does so it makes it so easy to work with her. I would highly recommend Holly as your wedding planner! You will have a worry and stress free process with her as your planner.

    With Holly helping us, I had nothing to worry about. She had so many great ideas and took care of things I would never had thought of. We were all able to relax knowing she was in charge! A wedding planner is one of the most important vendors you will not regret having! She truly helped us enjoy the beautiful day.

    Holly was the best investment I could have made for my wedding. The second I got off the phone from our first conversation my stress melted away! She anticipated so many needs and details I would never have thought of. I can't imagine having a better planner!
