  Covid Crisis!

  I can not recommend Loraine and Invitation Only highly enough! She not only assisted with all design aspects, rentals, vendor contracts, floor plan, etc. she became a HERO when we had to cancel my daughter’s wedding two weeks before the planned date due to Covid. Loraine immediately contacted all vendors, assisted in determining a new wedding date, and rescheduled vendors. She did her job twice!!! She was also amazing on the day of the wedding! As the mother of the bride I had to do nothing! When the wedding guitarist’s car broke down and was unable to make the ceremony Loraine immediately enlisted the help of the DJ who moved/set up equipment and downloaded all of the songs my daughter had chosen for the ceremony. Loraine provided a much more stress-free event than I could’ve ever imagined! If the occasion arises I will certainly use Invitation Only and Loraine again...this was absolutely the best money I spent!

  The Best Decision We Made: Hiring Invitation Only

  From the very first call with Loraine and her team at Invitation Only, I knew we were in the best hands. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Loraine made the entire process smooth, organized, and—most importantly—enjoyable.
  Of course, she checks all the boxes you’d expect from a top-tier wedding planner: creative, organized, well-connected, and an excellent communicator. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to bring a vision to life in ways beyond your imagination. Like many little girls, I had dreamed of my wedding day since childhood, and somehow, Loraine made it even better than what I had envisioned.
  A Stress-Free Experience
  I tend to be scatterbrained, trying to do a hundred things at once, and planning a wedding from out of town only added to the complexity. But Loraine had every detail covered, from my trips to Charleston to the smallest aspects of the wedding day itself. I truly just had to show up. She anticipated my needs before I even realized them, always ten steps ahead. I am sure there were countless issues that arose behind the scenes, but I never knew about them—because Loraine and her team handled everything seamlessly.
  The Ultimate Problem Solver
  Flexibility is crucial in a wedding planner, and Loraine excels in this area. Things will change—it’s inevitable. But she always had a Plan B, C, and even D ready to go. Her ability to pivot without stress or hesitation made the entire experience so much easier. She solved problems before they became problems, ensuring that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect.
  Expertise & Connections That Make a Difference
  Loraine is not only well-connected in the industry, but she’s also deeply respected. This goes a long way when working with vendors, coordinating logistics, and bringing a vision to life. She is also incredible with budgeting—like, truly incredible. She understands where to allocate funds for the best guest experience and knows how to make strategic trade-offs without sacrificing quality. She helped us maximize our budget while ensuring that every detail reflected the experience we wanted.
  A Team That Feels Like Family
  Loraine has built an amazing team, and their attention to detail extends beyond just the bride and groom. My flower girls still talk about Mr. Jeremy and how special he made them feel—even a year later! That speaks volumes. The entire Invitation Only team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that we could simply be present and enjoy our day.
  A Bride Who Got to Be a Guest
  Plain and simple: I was a guest at my own wedding, and that is the highest compliment I can give. From the first planning meeting to the moment Loraine handed us our cell phones and IDs before our grand exit, she took care of absolutely everything.
  My wedding was truly the best day of my life, and it was because Loraine, Jeremy, Levi, and the rest of the Invitation Only team made it happen. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, stop searching and book them now. I don’t know how they do it—but I am forever grateful that they do.

  We're so glad we said Yes to Invitation Only!

  We can't recommend Invitation Only, LLC enough! Loraine was so immensely helpful in the months leading up to our wedding. And then on the big day, she and her teammate Levi completely went above and beyond. I can't imagine what we would have done without them! Every detail was thoughtfully considered and taken care of. The trust that Loraine built with us really allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the day.
  
  From the moment we signed the contract, it was clear that she approached planning in both a positive and transparent manner, exploring every option to help make our vision come to life. She provided fantastic recommendations for vendor partners and leveraged her extensive connections in the industry to make the planning process as painless as possible. If you are considering booking Invitation Only for your event (and why wouldn't you be?!), this is your sign to do it!

  Must have vendor!

  Where do I even start with Loraine and the team at Invitation Only?! She was an absolute lifesaver throughout the planning process and a literal angel on my wedding day. Definitely could not have done it without her! If I could give Invitation Only a million stars, I would! The team's calming energy and organization was critical in ensuring we had a flawless day. They were able to pivot when needed, and kept everything on track for an absolute perfect day!!

  Best wedding coordinator ever!!!

  Loraine and her team at Invitation Only were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way! We cannot imagine how our event would have unfolded without them. Our wedding was originally scheduled for April 2020, and we had to postpone twice due to COVID-19. Loraine was gracious and patient in helping us with all of the details of rescheduling (a process which she offered to help us with despite it not being included in the original planning package we had paid for). When it came time to select rentals and plan the day-of details in earnest, Loraine accompanied us to Snyder Rentals and made thoughtful suggestions about items to consider, all while being mindful of our budget and supporting our vision. On the day of our wedding, Loraine and Kyra were complete rockstars. They were punctual, organized, and exuded a calm vibe that made everyone feel at ease. Numerous guests and members of the wedding party remarked during and after the event about how awesome Loraine and Kyra were. And importantly, they coordinated the services of other vendors without a hitch. My husband and I were able to be fully "in the moment" at all times without thinking about any coordination details on the day of our wedding. Loraine even brought our dinner to us so we could have a moment to sit and eat, which we were so grateful for! In keeping with the theme of Loraine and her team going above and beyond to curate the perfect day, Kyra offered to write out various chalkboard signs for us, given her expertise with lettering, and Loraine ended up being the person to help bustle my dress after the ceremony! One of the things we appreciated most about working with Loraine was her personality and demeanor - she was funny and chill, and by the end of the process she felt like a friend. Time and time again, Loraine and her team applied their considerable expertise to help us realize our wedding vision, and did so with professionalism and grace. We encourage anyone who is planning a wedding in the Charleston area to hire Invitation Only without a second thought! We cannot recommend them enough!!

  Best Decision!!

  There isn’t enough praise I can give Loraine and her team that could accurately express my gratitude. Having her as a coordinator was one of my best decisions and investments. Loraine was there to help when things became overwhelming and obstacles were thrown our way (which there were a lot with the recent COVID wave). On our wedding day, her and Kyra made sure that the day was absolutely magical, and everything we dreamed of. She made the day so peaceful, calming, and joyful. We also used Jess as our officiant and she went above and beyond to provide us with a beautiful, loving ceremony. Loraine and her team are experts at what they do. Every bride deserves to feel the way that Loraine and her team made me feel. I can guarantee you, it will be your smartest wedding decision to work with them!

  Our wedding day was perfect, and we couldn't have done it without Loraine!

  I cannot imagine planning or executing our wedding day without Loraine! Though I consider myself pretty "type A" when it comes to planning and looking at details, Loraine's experience and industry knowledge SHINED with everything from vendor suggestions, venue layout options, plan A, B, and C for potential inclement weather, keeping everyone (vendors, wedding party, family) in line on the wedding day, and so much more. My mom and bridesmaids absolutely loved her and her assistant Kyra on our wedding day. If there were any hiccups happening throughout the day, I had no idea because Loraine handled it all. 10/10 would recommend!

  The BEST wedding planner in Charleston, SC

  Loraine with Invitation Only was absolutely amazing and THE BEST money I spent for my wedding! Although we had a wedding with under 50 guests, Loraine really helped me with final touches for the big day a month prior, the rehearsal the day before, and the day of. She was so organized and professional throughout the entire process and during the wild beginning, unknown stages of the Coronavirus. My other vendors bragged about her professionalism and organization. Loraine made sure everyone was where they needed to be on the day of and kept to our predetermined timeline. Also since I did not want my family and friends to be worried about picking up after the reception, Loraine's services included post-reception pack-up of all of my personal items brought for the ceremony and reception. Invitation Only made our big day the most relaxing and enjoyable day. There were no hiccups and if there were, Loraine made sure that my friends, family and I did not see them. I HIGHLY recommend Loraine at Invitation Only!

  Couldn't have done it without Loraine!

  Loraine was INCREDIBLE as our day-of-coordinator! She sold me at our first phone call, despite my relatively small budget - she is worth it! Loraine was DETAIL-ORIENTED, ORGANIZED, CALM, AND COLLECTED throughout the whole process and day of. My dad is a worrier about absolutely everything and she was able to put his mind at ease and even help him fold his pocket square. We were so impressed how well she had everything under control, but also stayed out of the way. She found us when she needed us - approval for a last minute request by my FIL to give a toast, and to let us know if we were ahead or behind schedule (since I'm type-A myself), but otherwise worked behind the scenes with our vendors and everything in our eyes went PERFECTLY! We also used Invitation Only for rentals including some linens, lanterns, and an easel, and they offer great pricing on those! It was a nice benefit not having to manage yet another vendor for rentals. We love Loraine and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone for wedding planning or coordination!

  Great experience with Invitation Only!

  We had a great experience working with Loraine and her team at Invitation Only! Loraine coordinated my brother's wedding on Edisto a few years ago, and was the first person we talked to when planning our own Edisto wedding. She is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable-- offering suggestions along the way to make our wedding go smooth while still understanding our "vision". All of our vendors were happy to be working with Loraine, she is clearly well-respected in the industry. Highly recommend for planning and rental needs!

  Awesome Style!

  Loraine and her crew were awesome to work with on a styled shoot! Everything about them was extremely professional and Loraine was always on time with answering phone calls and emails. We created a beautiful video together with the help from all of the teams from the day and we so look forward to working with them again!

  Let me start by saying hiring Loraine was the best decision I made in my wedding. She was always quick to respond, pleasant, an insanely hard-worker and a talented planner/coordinator. My wedding was a destination wedding in Charleston and I was nervous about plans coming together at the end... I never should have worried though because Loraine is a miracle worker. We had a limited amount of time to set up and an overload of decorations but Loraine pulled everything off flawlessly. I was happy with my decision to hire her even before the wedding but after everything she did, I am blown away. She is the best in Charleston and I recommend her 100%. If I did it all over again ,she would be the first person I call. She made my dream wedding come true and I can't say enough good things about her.

  More Than a planner….a new found friend & a wonderful team!!

  Loraine & her team went above & beyond. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism & genuine level of care. This day went differently than planned as I did not get married but they executed an absolutely beautiful & flawless event. I ended up throwing a big party for friends & family, and absolutely couldn’t have done it without them! Their service was top notch! I would highly encourage every couple to book with them!!

  Loraine was the best planner EVER! She hung with us through a pandemic and went above and beyond to make out big event the a perfect and memorable experience. She did way more work for us (free of charge) due to the pandemic and we are so grateful for her perseverance. She is organized, clear to communicate with, and responsive. There is just so much good to say I could go on and on. I trusted her ideas and she executed everything so seamlessly. She is a true pro and would trust her to work with anyone. You won't regret it - hire this amazing woman! Thank you Loraine!

  The Best Wedding Planner in Charleston

  Loraine is absolutely amazing! Our wedding truly exceeded all my dreams compliments of all the time, work and dedication that she put into making sure it was perfect. She recommended the best vendors who worked perfectly together the day of the wedding. I honestly don’t know how we would have done everything without her. We were originally scheduled to have our wedding in 2021 but had to postpone due to COVID. She assisted with making sure everyone was rescheduled and very understanding during the whole process. On our wedding day, I was able to just relax and not worry about a thing because she had everything taken care of. Aside from being your wedding planner, though, she is also there to listen to you vent about everything wedding related, but also about everything non-wedding related. Loraine is so kind and helpful during the whole process. She’s truly the best wedding planner out there!

  Absolutely amazing!

  We hired Loraine as our Day of Coordinator for all three of our daughter’s weddings. She is absolutely AMAZING! Loraine is professional, extremely organized, prompt with all communication, always available, and she is the picture of calm during the wedding. She went above and beyond giving us recommendations for vendors, scheduling the timelines, navigating our family members for both the rehearsal and the wedding day. Loraine is amazing under pressure having three separate weddings each one had it’s challenges from last minute potential storms, higher than anticipated wedding counts, to navigating a wedding through the COVID pandemic and accommodating my father who had a kidney transplant so he could see his last granddaughter get married. As the mother of three brides it gave me peace to know that Loraine had everything under control and my husband and I could enjoy the day stress free with our daughters and loved ones! Throughout all of the weddings Loraine checked on each one of my daughter’s, myself, and my husband to make sure we were completely relaxed and taken care of. She made sure each one of our daughter’s weddings were absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend Loraine for all of your wedding planning needs. Lorraine was absolutely AMAZING and truly a god send!

  She saved the day!

  Invitation Only proved to be the most valuable wedding vendor I booked for my October wedding. Loraine helped me with SO MUCH on top of running our ceremony and reception! To name a few things: logistics/layout, timeline, rentals, decorating, rehearsal, and vendor selection (this one turned out to be extremely important). This woman is a true professional and great at her job, but what really sticks with me is her crisis management and level of commitment to her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure that our outdoor wedding didn’t get ruined by an uninvited guest – Tropical Storm Nester. Our wedding day turned into a hurricane-party reception (still southern and dreamy, even with the rain) followed by a beautiful private ceremony the next day. It was memorable, charming, and all of our guests had an amazing time. If you peeked behind the scenes that weekend you would have seen Loraine (and her assistant, Trent) handling tent booking, implementing a rain plan, coordinating coverage for both days with necessary vendors (who ALL went the extra mile for us that weekend – so glad she found us such high-quality vendors), and working tirelessly through the wind and rain to make sure that our reception was beautiful, stress free, and safe. I can assure you that we would have NEVER been able to pull this off if it weren’t for Loraine – she saved our wedding by turning an unfortunate circumstance into something incredible. My family will always be grateful for her dedication, compassion, and professionalism.

We showed up and it was wonderful..and if there’s any hiccups along the way, Loraine can work her magic and fix things in a jiffy. Our wedding was so fun, we are forever grateful.

  Everything was perfect!

  I tried to prepare my daughter for anything that might go awry by telling her those were the things you remember, but to my amazement, everything went off perfectly! Loraine was absolutely incredible with her ability to be prepared for every aspect of the wedding. I would tell anyone to totally entrust them with all aspects of the wedding and to relax and enjoy it.
