Expert in her field, and absolute Gem
Cannot put into words how amazing Gena is at what she does. The idea of planning a wedding had me so stressed that I just avoided it altogether. Then when we decided 2023 was the year I stumbled upon BWed’s website and reached out because she had the most good reviews online. I fully expected her to say we didn’t have enough time to plan a wedding in less than five months. Boy was I wrong. She immediately got to work on our elopement and when I say stress free (for me) I mean stress free. All I had to do was check in every few days and make final decisions. She went and found all the things and took care of all the details. We eloped +4 guests and it really felt like Gena was our 5th guest. She had everything figured out to the minute for the big day and I couldn’t have been happier. To be able to just show up to your destination wedding and not stress over the details is priceless. Gena is an expert in her field and I would trust her to plan literally anything for me. She found our venue and recommended our hotel. She took care of my bouquet, the musician, photographer, and officiant. She held my hand along the way and made tiny suggestions here and there that really made a big difference. She is an absolute gem. If you’re getting married and need help, please call Gena. The only time I panicked was after the wedding when it was time for her to go. She's affordable, very quick to respond, and is so cool, calm & collected that she kept me grounded throughout the entire planning process. She’s incredible, ten stars.b Wed Charleston's reply:
Oh Jamie...this review is just so sweet. I had such a wonderful time working with you and am beyond happy to hear that I made your day so stress free. It was truly a joy to join you as your 5th guest!! -

Destination / Elopement Dream!
Gena with bWed Charleston brought our wedded dreams to life by helping us commit to forever under the live oaks incorporating our religious preferences in selecting our officiant, equipping me with the best hair and makeup (literally- I’ve never been more happy than this day with professional beauty services), remembered ALLLLL the little things when planning our day, and helped us incorporate our immediate families / daughters in the best of ways! Not to mention- she’s so much fun while strolling streets of Charleston to encompass all of the views into such a special day! We are forever grateful and would recommend her a thousand times over.b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thanks so much for these kind words, Ashley. Working with you to plan your wedding was a true joy. You were a gorgeous and sweet bride and I wish you and Cory SO much love and happiness. -

Gena was amazing! My husband's deployment got pushed up so we had to plan an elopement in two weeks. She was so quick to respond, asked all the questions I wasn't thinking about, and made sure that everything was perfect. Everything I asked for happened and plenty more that made the day perfect. My makeup and hair artist was perfect as well. She also complimented b Wed and Gena the whole time. My flowers were perfect. Cameron was my photographer and it was everything I wanted with my wedding pictures. Also, my officiant, Casey, was perfect and worked with us to make our ceremony exactly what we envisioned. We also went through Gena to have a car service and Richard was such a great man to have around on an important day. I still can't get over how great this day was all because of b Wed. I can not say enough great things about Gena and b Wed.b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thank you for this wonderful review, Nicole. Working with you and Wade was a joy. There is no question that you two are so in love!! I wish you all the best and I hope your husband's deployment rushes by so he can be home soon! -

Everything we dreamed of
After searching and searching for a wedding planner for our destination wedding, we found Gena and I could not be more pleased that we did. She was so determined to make our wedding exactly how we imagined it to be even when we were 900 miles away! She answered all of our questions ( we had a ton) and planned everything- from flowers to makeup and contacting the officant and the photographer. We didn't have to worry about a thing. When we finally met Gena on our wedding day she was so nice and inviting and it made me feel like I knew her for years. If you are trying to plan a destination wedding I would chose B Wed Charleston!!!! You will not be disappointed!b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thank you so much, Alicia!! It was a pleasure to work with you and Zach. I also loved meeting you and your families. All of the small touches and little surprises that went into making the day special were such a joy to be a part of. All the best!! -

Gena and BWED Charleston made our small wedding dreams come true. Gena was so attentive and made the planning so enjoyable. I could not recommend her and BWED Charleston more. Her vendors are top notch, she handles everything with such ease and truly makes you feel special every step of the way. Thank you Gena, you are truly the best!b Wed Charleston's reply:

Absolutely perfect experience with b Wed Charleston!
Gena with b Wed Charleston was absolutely fantastic. As soon as we reached out to her for our elopement she responded within a couple hours and from there the experience was nothing short of perfect. Gena did an amazing job listening to exactly what we wanted for our wedding day, provided input on items we had not considered and coordinated everything perfectly.
Gena coordinated everything from flowers, cake, location, hair and makeup, decorating our hotel suite, transportation. You name and she took care of it and was so prompt in response and getting everything arranged. Absolutely a wonderful experience and highly recommend!b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It was such a pleasure to work with you and William. I am glad your wedding day went beautifully -- the photos were simply amazing! I hope you are able to come back and visit Charleston soon...might I suggest Fall or Winter when it isn't so hot!! -

Gena is an absolute gem. From the first email interaction we had, it was clear to me that she was the right person for the job. She is extremely communicative, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and full of amazing suggestions/ideas. On our wedding day, there was not one second that I worried about anything because I knew Gena was taking care of everything.
When I met her, I instantly felt like she was a friend or a family member. We could not have asked for a better day. She is truly a wedding angel and we’re so lucky to have found her. Gena, thank you for everything. You are simply the best.
b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thank you so much, Rebecca! You put such a big smile on my face! I really enjoyed working with you throughout the planning process and spending time with you on your big day. And yes, I still want to clone you!! All the best to you and Donnie! -

Excellent Coordinator!
My husband and I eloped in December and were very thankful to work with b Wed. We had been told by numerous other couples how stressful the planning process could be and we were both very busy at work, so having a coordinator for our elopement was a lifesaver. Going into the process, we didn’t have any ideas on what to do and Gena handled everything we needed, including selecting an officiant and photographer, making suggestions on locations, sending helpful reminders and checklists, and was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. I didn’t expect to get that level of coordination and engagement since we were just doing a no-guest elopement, but I was very thankful for all her help and advice. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning an elopement or wedding.b Wed Charleston's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Rachel. I was so glad I could make your sweet elopement day as stress-free and wonderful as you'd hoped. All the best to you and Josh! -

Gena is incredible! We wanted a small wedding and are not from the Charleston area. Gena was attentive, understanding, and so well organized from the very beginning, putting us at ease every step of the way. The day of our wedding she was on top of every detail and we were able to really enjoy ourselves and savor the memories. Thank you Gena for everything! Truly amazing experience:)b Wed Charleston's reply:

B Wed Charleston was amazing to us! They met our expectations, communicated very well, and so helpful! I had an unexpected pregnancy and B Wed was able to change our date, the vendors, and we weren't charge the new rate for the next year. Gena was very, very sweet.

B Wed is the very best!
Our wedding was perfect thanks to b Wed Charleston!
I reached out to Gena exactly 4 months before our wedding date. We had just decided to elope, and the countdown was on. I was feeling a little stressed and nervous about the whole process, but Gena calmed my nerves and made everything magic! Here are a few of my favorite things about working with Gena:
1) Completely stress free! Her packages take the guess work out of the whole process and really simplify planning. It minimizes the choices you have to make and completely removes stress. This was especially important to me since we had a short timeline and were planning from a distance for a destination elopement. I tell everyone that I only had to pick my dress and my husband. Gena took care of the rest!
2) Access to the very best vendors. It was nice to have someone make arrangements for me, but also a bit of a risk! Turns out, I didn’t have anything to worry about. Every single vendor that Gena selected for our day was beyond perfect. Everyone raved about the flowers, the cake, the pictures, hair and makeup, etc. Not being from Charleston, there is NO way I would have done that good picking everything myself. Gena only works with the best!
3) Supporting women-owned businesses. This was important to me on my big day. I wanted to support women entrepreneurs—especially during COVID! Pretty much every dollar we spent went to women-owned businesses thanks to Gena and b Wed.
4) Excellent communication. Gena is SO responsive and stays in close communication throughout the process. I never wondered where anything stood because she was so proactive and detail oriented.
5) Surprisingly affordable! One reason we decided to elope was the cost. Everyone knows that weddings are expensive, but not everyone knows it doesn’t have to be that way! Our day was everything we wanted and it was a fraction of the cost we would have spent on a traditional wedding or even compared to some other elopement and “minimonies” vendors. Gena is worth every penny and then some.
It’s been one month since we got married, and my husband and I keep talking about how stress-free and fun our day was. Saving money and time was nice, but the most important thing that Gena did for us was allow us to focus on each other and our guests for our wedding day rather than worrying about a bunch of details. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her and b Wed Charleston enough!
