Stacey Sent on 10/27/2020Incredible Wedding Planner
Rachel Hall (Elevents) is the best wedding planner you could decide to work with for your special day. We started working with Rachel in March of 2019 for our March 2020 wedding date. I was on the fence about hiring a wedding planner but hiring her was the best decision we could have made. From the beginning she was positive, organized and had awesome connections with event spaces and vendors. In addition her ability to make our vision come to life was like no other. She never shot down our ideas unless she thought there was no way to properly execute, in which case she always had an alternative. Her weddings are beyond beautiful and she pays such close attention to detail (I know because I personally stalk the Elevents Instagram on wedding days.) She was always very communicative and kept us updated every step of the way. We were so excited for our special day, until Covid happened and everything was shut down the week of our wedding. Rachel never missed a beat, she started rescheduling immediately and remained positive even when everything was crashing down. She was managing the cancelations/postponements of multiple brides all while seeing her business take a turn for the worse due to the limitations of events during a global pandemic. Not once did she drop the ball, complain or come across negative, she had a solution for every situation that came up. She paid attention to all the new rules and regulations in place to make sure we kept everyone safe and happy while within the ordinances. We ended up rescheduling our wedding and had a covid friendly event in August, in the 100 degree heat. There was Rachel running around (sweating like crazy) with a smile on her face. We could not have asked for anything more. Even with COVID we would not have changed a thing. She made sure the day was perfect, our vision was executed and we did not have a worry in the world besides having the best and most memorable day ever. All our guest commented on how incredible she was as well (and we have some pretty opinionated folks 😊) Rachel truly exceeded our expectations and now has become a great friend. -

My husband and I truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner than Rachel at Elevents & Co! From the initial consultation to the big day, she was exceptional in every way. She brought our vision to life with meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism.
Rachel handled all aspects of the planning process seamlessly, from recommending the perfect vendors to coordinating the wedding day timeline and everything in between. Her organizational skills and calm demeanor ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our special day without any stress! Rachel was always available to answer our questions and provided invaluable advice and suggestions that made our wedding truly memorable.
We highly recommend Rachel to any couple looking for a wedding planner who is dedicated, talented, and truly cares about making your day perfect! Thank you, Rachel, for making our dream wedding a reality! -

Rachel provided partial planning for our wedding. She was there from the very start. She referred the best vendors, helped us place our rental order, and even attended our tasting. During the planning process she kept us organized and was always available to answer questions. On the day of the wedding, she helped setup and her assistant managed the event to breakdown. They did a phenomenal job and I can't thank her enough for helping us plan our wedding! -

Must Have Planner in Charleston
Rachel Hall is the best of the best. In my opinion having spoke with over a dozen planners in the Charleston area there really is no other option but to chose her team. Elevents & Co as a whole brought the ultimate level of professionalism and passion to the entire planning process and of course, our wedding weekend. My wife and I had come across Rachel’s company and website when we were in search of a wedding planner who had experience with destination and LGBTQ weddings. Not only has Rachel planned weddings in various U.S States, she has also done destination weddings in Europe, and that aesthetic and experience really spoke to us. From the first call we had with Rachel, we immediately connected with her and knew we were making the right decision by hiring her. She was on top of every detail, task and expectation we threw at her. She not only helped us thoroughly plan our wedding at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, she helped us negotiate rates with our vendors and be as discerning as possible. Although there was inclement weather on our big day, Rachel and her team went above and beyond to make sure our backup plan went 100% smoothly so that no one would be able to tell the difference. I would go as far as to say she put the same level of attention to detail and care that you could expect from a close family member on your big day. I felt completely at ease knowing she was there at the reins. Our experience with Rachel has not only left us feeling like we chose the perfect planner, but has created a lifelong friendship with her. Rachel - thank you so much for being you, for being so thoughtful and caring, and for doing everything you could to make our day magical! -

Best in the Business w/ the Biggest Heart
If there's one relationship that's KEY during the wedding planning process aside from your significant other, it's your wedding planner...they are your sounding board, shield you from the chaos when plans go awry (*cough* covid *cough*), and you get to know each other on a personal level.
Rachel and the other members of the Elevents team were our life rafts over nearly 2 years of wedding planning. We were introduced to Rachel after she spent over 30 minutes on a call with my mom, answering questions about destination wedding planning free of charge. Her kindness and knowledge of the industry left such a positive first impression that my husband and I decided to hire her, and it was the best decision we could have made.
From Day 1, we could see the passion she has for her work. She intently listened to our vision for the big day, answered questions, gave advice, managed other vendor partnerships, tracked constantly changing details due to me changing my mind :), oversaw budgeting, and put in time to get to know us so that she could make our wedding special and unique to us. In hindsight, it's mind-blowing to think that she was managing multiple weddings at the same time because it always felt like she was focused on us.
When we were one month out from our April 2020 wedding day, we were forced to postpone due to the pandemic. The decision was challenging - emotionally and logistically - but Rachel took care of everything. She sent care packages and checked in on us with calls. She helped us navigate changing government regulations, venue and vendor policies shifts, reworking floorplans, altering guest counts, advising on the rain plan, etc. We couldn't control what was happening around us with covid and dealt with a lot of gut punches along the way, but we felt so much better about the process knowing Rachel was our guide. The care she has for her clients in incredible.
The worst part about hiring a wedding planner like Rachel is that you end up making a friend that lives 1,000 miles away. We made so many great memories along the way and me, my husband, and our families are so grateful for the Elevents & Co team. I cannot recommend them enough. -

Rachel is a true professional and kept us on track in completing tasks during our wedding planning. She helped answer all of our questions throughout our year and a half engagement and was there bright and early the day of our wedding with her assistant, Lauren, to ensure all went smoothly. The day turned out better than we could have imagined. Rachel is dependable, kind, and definitely knows her stuff! Hire her and her team and you'll be glad you did! -

Tiffani Sent on 12/14/2020The absolute BEST event planner !
I initially hired Rachel to help me with my destination elopement to Charleston, and she helped me choose the most PERFECT venue and vendors for our December wedding. She was SO easy going, my wedding changed from an elopement, to a 20 person wedding.. to 35, and then back down to 20 due to tons of last minute Covid cancellations. She was on top of everything; handled all the last minute changes with expertise , grace, and had the best ability to calm me down in all the chaos of everything. On the day of, she and Lauren were such an asset to our day , they were so on top of everything, and helped move the day along smoothly. All my friends complimented how helpful and awesome they were. I would most definitely work with Elevents & Co for any other event I may want to plan. If you’re on the edge of wondering whether or not to hire a planner, even if your event is smaller- I highly recommend hiring Rachel and her team! You won’t regret it! -

Franchesca Sent on 10/31/2020Perfection down to the very last drop
Rachel was fantastic from the very beginning down to the very last drop. I’m so grateful for her. Not only was it smooth without a hiccup, but she keep the party going. She guided us through every step with the sweetest smile on her face. She really understood the over whelming feeling a bride can have and she made it easy. We appreciated her quick responses and all the little touches that brought everything to life. -

A dream come true!
Rachel and Elevents and Co. made our dream wedding come to life. Rachel really helped us through the whole process. She listened to my ideas and made them come to life. I cried when I saw the finished product and how it all came together. She worked hard to meet our budget and gave us her professional opinion to make the day perfect. I would highly highly recommend Elevents and Co. -

Gabriella Sent on 09/02/2020You won't find better!
At first, I was so disappointed about having a COVID wedding. I wasn't sure how it would compare to a "normal" wedding and felt like I was getting the short end of the stick. After our actual wedding day, I can honestly say that was not the case at all and I could not have envisioned a more perfect day thanks to Rachel and team. Rachel was amazing and made sure every detail was pulled off perfectly and beautifully. Throughout the whole process, she was a friend to lean on, a design expert, and everything in between. I could not recommend her more, she made our day absolutely perfect. -

Day of Coordinator-Melissa Kent
So very blessed to find a day of coordinator Melissa Kent! She help us through so much putting this wedding together and accommodating our needs and budget! The venue we choose Magnolia plantation- Veranda House recomend a planner of the name Jessica Cruz and she snubbed her nose at us leaving us almost desperate for a coordinator last minute all because she wanted to be in control of everything and wanted us to have an outrageous budget which we did not agree on. Luckily we found Melissa she was very professional open to our vision needs and wants for our wedding she took charge of the rental order and helping us with our timeline and taking care of the bride and grooms needs during the wedding too. I am a crafty diyer for my centerpieces and arbor I wanted to make them myself but I kept it simple in order to save money on a florist Melissa helped put them together day of along with some help from the groomsmen it turned out perfect. We highly recommend her services she was a joy to work with! -

Gret Sent on 12/11/2017Rachel at Elevents & Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. We got together and worked out a plan that best suited my goals since i wanted to be pretty hands on with parts of the planning but also realized that i needed her expertise in coordinating much of the day-of scheduling and running the show. She made the experience fun and easy, had answers to all my questions - put me in touch with an AMAZING band, got me a discount on linens - and i could keep going... Our wedding day at Lowndes Grove was everything we hoped and i can't recommend Elevents enough.

Barbara Sent on 06/25/2016We got married just one week ago, on the 18th of June 2016 and we can really say we had a GLORIOUS DAY! The wedding was arranged by Rachel Hall at Elevents & Co. We decided to get married just on the 20th of April 2016 and we had less than two months to organize everything. Rachel was not scared from this short notice and she was fantastic! Everything was so well thought out and so professionally and elegantly organized. Grant and I were both crazy busy and we really needed a person to whom delegate everything and today we can tell we could not have managed any of it without her continuous help and wise advices. Every single service of the wedding surpassed our expectations: the Photographer, the Videographers (who also arranged a web streaming of our Catholic ceremony-celebrated at the beautiful St. Peter’s Church downtown Columbia-for our families living in Italy and all over the US), the flowers, the beauty services, the coordination of the Wedding Dinner at the Capital City Club of Columbia and, last but not least, the delicious and amazing Wedding Cake! During the weeks before the wedding we were crazy busy with many things going on, so we could just sent to Rachel our ideas, describing them with our words and adjectives...from our sofa after dinner, when we were too tired to organize anything and we just had the strength to dream about the wedding day we wanted. Rachel perfectly understood everything, it was like she was able to read our minds! The flowers were exactly as we wanted: full, rich, elegant. The presentation of the Food was refined and exactly as we desired. The food was absolutely delicious and the wines perfectly paired. Rachel is a gourmet lady with very refined tastes. And the wedding cake: think only that the baker whom Rachel engaged was able to reproduce on the Cake the floral design of the sash of my EugeniaCouture wedding dress. I can't recommend Rachel and Elevents & Co. highly enough. Rachel you really have a talent for perfect weddings!
