The best team!
Hiring Beckon Events was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Allie and her team were VITAL to the planning and execution of our day. We spent nearly 18 months with Beckon Events planning our October 2023 wedding. Allie traveled with us to (many) venue tours and guided us along the way with such professionalism. We ultimately decided on a beautiful venue that did present challenges both in planning and on the wedding day. My husband and I were clueless to any wedding weekend problems because they were handled by the team immediately. Beckon Events thought of EVERYTHING and handled any challenge with such grace. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness that went into planning made us feel so special during this season of life. Allie's extensive knowledge of vendors, layout and design made the planning process so easy and fun for us. Her ability to take our style and translate that to the design left us stunned on the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We could have never planned anything as beautiful or as well thought out without Beckon Events. We would recommend them to anyone looking to have a professional and intentional planning and design team! -

If you do one thing in the process of planning a wedding, hire Allie and Julia from Beckon events. We are so fortunate to have had Allie along our side. She has attention to detail, creativity, and a genuine passion for what she does. Our vision was completely out of the box from what a traditional black tie wedding looks like and she worked to bring our event at the Ritz Carlton on Lake Oconee to life. She handled everything from our overall design, vendor management, and even family dynamics. Things do not go perfect with wedding planning and anytime there was an issue with vendors etc the team always had proposed alternatives ready to go.
When it came down to the day off, the team seamlessly coordinated with vendors, ensuring that everything ran like clockwork. We were blown away with the transformation of the event, and if things went wrong I can say one thing, we had no idea. We received countless compliments with how organized our wedding day flowed and our guests could tell we hired an amazing team to handle the day off. -

Phenomenal in every way
I can not rave enough about my experience with the Beckon team! Allie, Julia, and the rest of the team truly created the wedding of my dreams and went above and beyond in countless ways. From the first meeting, Allie asked about my priorities and intentions for my day and then remained focused on these throughout the planning process. I had autonomy in bringing up ideas and inspiration, but also quickly developed trust in their judgement and guidance and appreciated their suggestions and recommendations regarding vendor selection, decoration, timeline, and other details along the way. Her wisdom and experience allowed me to have peace of mind that every decision made along the way would be executed professionally and perfectly. Not only did Allie and Julia have excellent rapport with me, my husband, and my mom who was also central with the planning, but they also have incredible relationships with the vendors that we used. I could see the reasoning behind every recommendation that they made and would not have known how to select such high-quality vendors without their involvement. They handled all of the communication and coordination, leaving us able to simply enjoy the event without any “behind-the-scenes” stress!
Beckon truly knows how to plan an elegant and special event, and we had so many people tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended.
I had so much fun and it is largely due to efforts made by the Beckon team to take off pressure from me and to give security that everything was handled. Hiring Beckon as our planner was the greatest investment we could have ever made and I'd 100% do it all over again. -

Kristin K. Sent on 05/24/2023The team at Beckon Events is phenomenal, and they made our dream wedding a reality!
We hired Beckon Events as our wedding planning team for our April 22, 2023 wedding. Allie and her team are an absolute dream to work with. She was beyond helpful in finding our vendors for our special day and always provided honest, thoughtful, and instructive advice as we made our decisions. She was attentive, creative, and imaginative and she transformed our wedding vision into our own unique reality. She helped us navigate all of the dreaded venue/vendor issues and made sure our entire day went off without a hitch. I cannot imagine how much different our day would have been if we did not have her on our side. Allie and her team at Beckon Events are unmatched in their ability to plan, adapt, and design the most PERFECT experience for you and your guests. Our guests are still talking about our wedding day, and so are we. We are so grateful we chose Beckon Events as our wedding planning team, and we would highly recommend them without reservation. Thank you will never be enough to express our gratitude for creating such a memorable day for us! -

Second Time Client
I never knew the entirety of the details that go into planning a wedding until my first daughter got married four years ago. At that time, Allie helped us plan the special day, but I was able to handle many of the details myself. When my second daughter was engaged last summer, Allie was the first person I called before making any plans. Her service was invaluable to us the first time around, and I knew I didn’t want to do this without her help. This time around, we were navigating three significant family events and a move across the state! I was going to need more help! We hired Allie to pretty much take care of everything from beginning to end. No detail was left unattended, and having someone to help navigate vendor contracts and unexpected hiccups along the way gave us the peace we needed to enjoy our year of milestones without worrying about dropping any balls in regard to the wedding. From caterer to band to transportation and everything in between, her knowledge and experience with vendors helped us to not waste time as we made our choices. We gave Allie the difficult task of delivering an August wedding with a spring feeling, and we were not disappointed. With the help of our florist and carefully selected table dressings and wall draping, Allie transformed what I considered to be an awkward warehouse looking venue space into a beautiful spring garden complete with a garden swing! It was breathtaking! I had different ideas about how to use the space, and she made it work, realizing my vision to move the usual placement of the dance space and dining tables. My guests were also blown away, and my daughter was so pleased with every aspect of the day. Allie’s assistants were very professional and helpful, helping us to keep track of even small things like my sunglasses on the day of the wedding, as they would not fit into my purse. At the end of the event, everything I brought to the space was waiting for me in carefully packed bags, making our exit easy. If full service is what you are seeking, Beckon Events will deliver! -

Not a better Wedding Planner in South Carolina
Beckon was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Allie and her team are AMAZING! They do such a wonderful job of making you feel calm and confident that no matter what happens your day is going to be magical. I can say that I could not imgine going through the planning process without them. The team not only works with you on setting up a perfect vision but they are with you every step of the way. They did a wonderful job making sure we got stuff completed on time and were very open to any feedback we had. There were definitely hiccups during our process that were outside of Beckons control but they did a wonderful job of making sure we knew nothing was going to keep us from having the wedding we envisioned. Allie and her team made us feel like family and I can truly say the things her team can do and come up with are breathtaking. if you are looking for a wedding planner in South Carolina my only advice to you is HIRE BECKON EVENTS!! -

Allie and the Beckon Events Team made wedding planning as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Allie planned our entire Oregon wedding from across the country in South Carolina and we were blown away with her talent. She thought about every detail of the day, helped us interview and select our team of vendors, and also provided onsite coordination for the day of our wedding. Our bridal party was impressed with Allie's attention to detail, and said that it was the most thorough rehearsal they had ever been a part of. Our bridal party and wedding guests commented on how perfect the wedding was, which is the ultimate compliment. Overall we are so thankful that we hired Allie and Beckon Events to plan and coordinate our wedding and highly recommend them! -

Victoria J. Sent on 05/06/2021Best Day Ever Thanks to Beckon Events
I started working with Beckon Events in spring 2019 and had a great time planning our wedding for April 25th, 2020. However, by the end of March 2020, it was clear that our original plan--a 200 person black tie soiree at the SC Botanical Gardens in Clemson, SC-- was not going to happen. Beckon handled the situation so smoothly and gracefully considering the immense amount of anxiety we were all experiencing about the unknown. They helped us swiftly move our date and deposits to the following spring, securing most of the same vendors as well as a few new ones.
My fiance and I still got married on our original wedding date with 8 other people at my parents’ Seneca, SC home, which was a lovely event for which we were very grateful. However, it was important to both of us to have the customary family celebration we had planned, so we would just have to be patient until it was possible to do. It was worth every minute of the two year wait!
While Beckon had pretty much perfected the plan for the party at the Botanical Gardens in Clemson, it became apparent around March of 2021 that the Gardens would not be reopening for events in time for ours. Once again, Beckon handled this situation with such gentleness and grace, it didn’t even feel that stressful. We decided to re-plan the party where my husband and I got married in 2020: my parents’ backyard and the adjoining lot that I had purchased to build on later.
By April 2021 we had a re-imagined plan for our dream wedding reception, and May 1st was everything we could have hoped for and more! Beckon’s design and the world-class vendors they work with created an environment that looked like it came directly out of my dreamscape. They captured our style and personality with the excellently chosen decor. It was comfortable and inviting while also being exciting and mystifying. It was truly an EXPERIENCE, which is why the value of a service like Beckon Events cannot be overstated. They not only designed and created the event that we had articulated but also moved me, my husband, and all of our loved ones through that experience with grace and ease, so that we could all focus on the special moments rather than the logistics that make such an event possible. The quality and professionalism of the vendors they work with are top notch, and they are all true masters of their respective crafts.
It turned out wonderfully that we pivoted to having our cocktail hour and photos in the space where we got married the year before and our reception adjoining--where we hope to have a future home. With fewer restrictions on private property, Beckon was able to make design changes that really elevated our previous plan to the next level and allowed them full creative license. Beckon and their vendors transformed empty spaces into magical places that had everyone present absolutely enchanted. I’ve never seen a dance floor fill up faster than it did after our first dances, as everyone shuffled over to swoon to I Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis. No one could help falling in love with the charm and beauty of this event!
I cannot say enough about how professional, brilliant, kind, creative, and frankly, badass the women of Beckon are. I have heard nothing but wonderful feedback on the party itself and all vendors present--many telling me it was the most beautiful or best party to which they had ever been. Several also told me it was “so YOU!” Goal achieved!
If you want to have an event that artfully yet tastefully exudes your personal style, if you want to enjoy that event and its planning process stress-free with people you can fully trust, if you want an experience that is amazing not only for you but all of your guests, if you want experts to have your back on your big day so your drink is always full and you don’t have to worry about or want for a thing...Beckon Events is the first place to start when you have something special on the horizon.

We cannot speak highly enough of Beckon Events! I can't imagine what 2020 has been like for them, but they never waivered in their professionalism and guidance as we had to postpone our wedding from spring to winter.
They were a breeze to work with from the beginning, and always put up with my being very "direct" with regards to my vision for the event... : ) As an amateur planner myself, they anticipated things I hadn't even thought of.
FINALLY getting to meet the Beckon team on the day-of was very exciting and they kept things running smoothly with no issues. From their "disaster kit" to running around in the rain, I can't imagine hosting a wedding without their expertise. Helpful, experienced, and delightful, I highly recommend Beckon Events for your next event.
THANK YOU ALLIE, ANNA & KAYLA! -

The Best in the Upstate!
We can not even begin to express our satisfaction with the Beckon Events Team. We had the unfortunate circumstance of having to postpone our wedding due to COVID19 1 month before the event. The Beckon Team did everything in their power to help us reschedule and essentially re-plan our entire wedding to come out even better than the first go around! I have a busy work schedule and can not imagine how I could have done this without Allie and Kayla. Their full service wedding planning is truly full service. They walked us through every small detail, helped me prioritize what was most important to me, helped me make each decision, recommended the best vendors, sent me reminder emails, and executed the entire event flawlessly. Allie brings vast experience from the industry that is invaluable for the design and planning process. Kayla is so organized and remembered every little idea and detail I ever mentioned. Every vendor we worked with had nothing but praise for the Beckon Team and expressed how much they love to work on their events. The day came together perfectly and was better than we could have ever imagined. Not only was the design absolutely stunning, but the entire day went off without a hitch due to their day off coordination. My mom, my husband, and I were all able to completely enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. We can not recommend them enough!! - Leah & Kellan Nix & Mary Esposito -
