We worked with Alyssa through Curated Events to plan our wedding. We originally hired a day-of coordinator but soon realized we were in over our heads. There is enough decision making, planning, and logistics involved in planning an event for 180 people to make your head spin. The joy was being sucked out of our engagement season.
From the minute we started working with Alyssa, she made it her mission to understand our goals and vision for our wedding day. She made herself available when we needed her, came prepared and organized to every meeting, and kept us on track every step of the way. On the wedding day, she literally ran around making sure every detail was in place. I am so grateful for her support and attention to detail. We had the most perfect day, and I cannot imagine how that would have been the case without her. -

Ooh! Events was such an amazing company to work with. Having event coordination, floral and rentals all in one place made the entire process a breeze and it was so fun to get to go to their office and personally pick all of our wedding decor; but the best thing about Ooh! is HANDS DOWN Emily Parham. She is everything we could've wanted in a wedding planner and more. The entire wedding went off without a single issue and was the most perfect day. Emily and Isabel not only handled everything that popped up but also planned for things that could come up (example: making the most amazing feather jacket seemingly materialize out of thin air when it got cold and I hadn't thought to get a jacket period, let alone one that would match my dress). I am so happy to have met Emily and now call her a friend. You need her and the entire Ooh! team on your vendor list 1,000,000% -

Emily is an exceptional wedding professional and her attention to detail is fantastic. As a wedding vendor, I appreciate a planner who is organized, level-headed and creative. Emily is just that and more! As a Charleston wedding vendor of 10 years I have seen just about everything and a high-quality planner is absolutely an essential component to a great wedding. If you are looking for an exceptional wedding planner I highly recommend you give Emily and Ooh Events a call! -

Rachel Sent on 10/26/2020Ooh! Events = MVP!
I hired Ooh! Events for design and coordination as well as rentals for my October wedding at Lowndes Grove. As a COVID-19 bride, I fully anticipated a stressful planning process, but Ooh! Events and specifically Emily Parham, my planner, took all the stress and worry off my shoulders. Leading up to the wedding, no question was too frivolous to shoot her an email about and she was so great about sending helpful reminders about when I had upcoming vendor payments. She also TOTALLY NAILED the design aesthetic I was going for from the start! We tweaked maybe one or two things but otherwise it was absolutely perfect, and she came up with ideas I either had never thought of or didn’t know was possible. However, our actual wedding day is where I believe Emily and her assistant Caroline shone brightest and earned MVP status in my heart forever. The forecast was showing rain right around our ceremony time (which was outdoors) and Emily kept me up to date on the forecast and suggested we start with cocktail hour and then do the ceremony once it cleared. I was good with that but when there seemed to be a break in the clouds, Emily suggested we get the ceremony in and instead do two half-hour cocktail hours. Everything worked out great and my husband and I actually got time alone before the ceremony to eat hors d’oeuvres. I knew there were several hiccups during the reception as well but only because I saw Emily and her team handling them before they ever became an issue. In the midst of handling all these things, Emily kept in constant communication with me to ensure my husband and I always had a full/chilled glass of whatever we wanted to drink, something to eat and that we got to do everything we wanted at our reception. I absolutely credit her with the success and beauty of our wedding and am so thankful to her and Ooh! Events for making our wedding dreams a reality. -

Claudia Sent on 10/19/2020Priceless Piece of Mind in 2020
Our original wedding date was 6/6/2020, our rescheduled date was 9/26/2020, our attempted re-re-scheduled date was 10/21/2021. We had vendor contracts locked in, then fall through due to COVID and were left scrambling for replacements. Through it all, OohEvents was there for us in helping us work with all of our vendors, and pulling together a scaled down vision for our nuptials. With the help of Sara G. and Hannah S., we had a micro-wedding on 9/26/2020 on a hotel rooftop in downtown Charleston. The design they pulled together was by far, much better than our original vision and i wouldn't change a thing - i told them then, and i would say it again, they CRUSHED IT!!! Sara G. was incredibly professional and flexible when it came to all of our hurdles, and we couldn't thank her enough for helping us through it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us make our micro wedding feel like the real thing! -

Susan Sent on 10/13/2020Emily, Caroline and Ooh Events! are the BEST!!!
Emily, our wedding coordinator, her assistant, Caroline, and Ooh Events are the BEST! We booked our daughter’s wedding for October 10, 2020 in April 2019, way back when the only thing we had to worry about was a hurricane. 😊 Emily guided us through challenging times and ensured Rachel and Eric had the wedding of their dreams. She quickly rescheduled our floral, rental, and tasting sessions after the initial COVID-19 shutdown and kept things on track. Just when we thought everything was going to be “smooth sailing” Mother Nature had her say with some significant rain. We were so incredibly impressed by Emily’s professionalism and calm, collected demeanor on the big day. She quickly orchestrated a major reconfiguration of the reception area, rearranged the schedule to take advantage of a small window of opportunity to conduct the ceremony outdoors as planned, and ensured the wedding party and guests were kept informed of changes. Thanks to the amazing efforts of Emily, Caroline and the entire Ooh Events crew, the wedding ceremony, and reception, were indeed magical despite many challenges. -

Best decision I ever made!!!
Our wedding was PERFECT because of Ooh! Events and Emily! We truly could not have asked for a better day to get married. Between busy schedules and a crazy year, we were so grateful to have Emily guiding us through every step of the planning process. We met with her to plan our florals and rental decor (we used Ooh! rentals and Out of Hand florals as well) and having everything integrated made planning a breeze. They have excellent taste and kept up with all of my changing plans with ease. On our wedding day, Emily had put together a detailed timeline and everything went off without a hitch!! Our whole day was absolutely breathtaking and I have received so many positive comments about how amazing everything was from start to finish.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and Ooh! Events! My wedding day was an absolute dream. If you are considering them, just go ahead and book! You will not regret it!! -

Lauren Sent on 09/17/2020Your Most Important Wedding Vendor!
I will forever recommend Ooh! Events to all of my friends and family!! They are truly a one stop shop which takes so much stress away during wedding planning. Ooh! Events handled our rentals, design, coordination and floral for our wedding and everything was PERFECT. Emily was our wedding planner and kept us informed every step of the way. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was rough but Emily constantly let us know of the ever changing rules and had a solution to everything and every issue that arose! She really saved the day when our original videographer canceled on us less than 48 hours before our wedding. Within HOURS (and very early in the morning!) Emily was on the phone with us and potential new vendors trying to book a new videographer. All of our rentals and flowers were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we envisioned. Ooh! Events truly took care of every single little detail. Even things we didn't realize we wanted or needed! From having our ceremony and reception go off without a hitch (which is a miracle in itself), to having Emily and Caroline pack our "to-go" bags in our getaway vehicle so we wouldn't forget anything, to even making sure we had ice cold drinks all night long, we were in the best hands with Ooh!. Hiring this team was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. -

An amazing team!
decided to work with Emily Parham and Ooh Events because I was planning the wedding from Alaska, and they are a “one stop shop”. They have rentals, florals, wedding coordination and more! I chose to do the 60 day out wedding coordination and that really worked out well! With Emily helping with everything the day of the wedding, I felt so at ease and chill...I felt like a bride that didn’t have a worry in the world. Everything turned out exactly how my husband and I planned and I could not be happier with Ooh Events! With their partner, Out of the Garden, my favorite was the floral arch that they put together. I chose an arch and they made it happen, it was beautiful! Thank you to Emily, Ooh Events, and Out of The Garden for helping my dream wedding come true. -

Very creative and professional! Brought my dreams to life!
I would highly recommend Kaitlyn at Ooh! Events as your wedding florist. She was extremely professional, creative and knew exactly what I wanted (even with my very limited knowledge on florals). Walking in the day of my wedding and seeing the arrangements brought me to tears. Kaitlyn and the rest of the staff were a dream to work with - Thank you all so much! -

Morgan Sent on 12/02/2019Stress-free wedding planning experience
We hired Ooh! for full service planning since I live in NYC and my wedding was in Charleston, SC. They were excellent, detail-oriented, and personal from the very first phone call where I discussed my ideas for the wedding to the actual day. Our planner, Shea, was the absolute best. In addition to being so kind and friendly, she made me feel completely at ease planning from afar. She provided guidance in a way that helped me create an atmosphere for the wedding even better than I could have hoped for. While the weather for our event was not as expected (upper 30s and rainy), she was able to improvise and talk my family and I through all our options in a way that we felt calm and relaxed the whole time. I truly cannot recommend Ooh! and Shea highly enough! -

Great options for decor - very accommodating staff!
We used ooh events for some of our wedding decor and they were great to work with! We had to make some last minute changes to our rentals and they were very accommodating. they have a lot of cute things for lounge areas and excellent options for bars and dance floors. Would definitely recommend using them for rentals! -

Kelly Sent on 11/14/2019Highly recommend
I’m very happy I chose Ooh Events for my wedding this past October. Emily was my coordinator and she was fantastic. She was always responsive, reliable, and very detail oriented. She was so helpful at wrapping up all the fine details of things from the day of timeline to the last minute group transportation we needed. At the beginning she was able to offer suggestions and recommendations which all proved to be helpful for us especially since we were planning a wedding from a different state. Emily always made herself available when we needed it and was extremely professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a wedding coordinator -

Megan Sent on 07/12/2019Emily Parham was THE BEST!
My husband and I are so thankful for Emily Parham and her team and everything you did for us both leading up to our wedding but also during the wedding. The weather presented what seemed like it would be insurmountable challenges but Emily's team rose to the occasion and made it work in our favor. We were truly impressed with Emily's ability to not only adapt but also make sure that there was zero stress on our wedding day.
We had such a tremendous time at our wedding and we left Charleston wondering why other people always say wedding planning and the day of are so stressful. We feel like the last 18 months have gone by so smoothly and we have never really worried about any of it. Seeing the venue and watching our friends and family having the time of their lives celebrating us, we could not be happier with our decision to choose Ooh! Events and specifically choose Emily as our planner and coordinator. Emily Parham, you are AMAZING! -

Emily Sent on 04/17/2019Love them all! Made our wedding stress free!
Ooh Events and Emily Parham made our wedding a completely stress free experience. All the girls there have incredible taste and I felt 100% comfortable with Emily. I knew she would handle everything just as I would. The team at Ooh Events was hyper-organized, well connected in the industry, and allowed me to be as hands-on (or off) as I wanted. They have the largest selection of rentals and flowers and were so accommodating to any budget concerns I had. Someone once told me: "You should pick the planner you feel is your best friend--someone you can cry in front of, laugh with, and tell anything to." And Emily was just that. They executed our wedding perfectly and made it an absolute dream. Even my other vendors commented on what an excellent job they did. Can't thank Emily and the rest of the team enough. -

Heather Sent on 03/26/2019Oh lala for Ooh! Events
Words fail to truly express our gratitude to Shea and Emily during the planning of our daughter’s wedding. Since we are not from Charleston but chose it as the wedding destination, we knew we needed someone who had the experience and know how to navigate the particulars of the wedding. From beginning to the end of planning, Shea and Emily made us feel comfortable and confident with the planning process. Ooh Events warehouse is a dream to walk through and there is something for every taste and design. We have been flooded with messages, calls and texts from guests who said this is by far the best wedding and reception they have ever attended. For that, I thank Ooh Events and most importantly Shea and Emily! -

Jamie Sent on 01/30/2019Amazing Service!
Where do I even start! First let me start by saying our venue required a wedding planner that was not a guest. When I heard this I was disappointed as I thought I could do it all myself. That being said I am beyond THRILLED they required this and could not have done it without Erin from Ooh Events. From the start the process was so fun and exciting. Erin was so easy to talk to and understood my vision from day 1. We are from Boston and got married in Charleston and it was so helpful to have someone in the area to help us plan. As we couldn't meet in person often we did most of the planning via phone/email and it was seamless. The thing that really took Ooh Events to the next level was their amazing warehouse full of things to rent. It seems silly to buy things (decorations etc) that you will only use once and then not know what to do with them post wedding. The warehouse and rentals took all of this stress away. They had so many cool things to pick from that made our wedding really unique. Not to mention it was great to get the linens etc all from the same place and not have to deal with multiple vendors. I love being organized and Erin took that to the next level. Having a timeline planned out to the minute for our wedding day made everything run flawlessly. We felt like a queen and king on our wedding day. Erin was always one step ahead of me, even when it came to needing a glass of champagne. It was truly 5 star service, from making us each a plate of food, to sewing my dress back together when the strap popped off I cannot say enough good things!! I felt my only job on our wedding day was to relax and have fun and without Erin and Ooh Events this would not have been possible. Some of the vendors I barely even spoke with and they just showed up and did their job perfectly all thanks to Erin. Looking back I could not imagine our wedding without a planner. And If you are looking for a planner look no further. Ooh Events and Erin exceeded all of my expectations. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams but we gained a friend in Erin who we hope to keep in touch with forever. I cannot say enough good things. Xo -

great experience!
I had such a great experience using Erin at Ooh! for my rentals. She did such a great job with making my vision come to life and was so responsive and flexible when I made any changes. She was also super understanding of my lower budget and stretched my dollar very far! With wedding planning being so stressful, Ooh! and rentals was one less thing I had to worry about, because I was confident it was being taken care of. -

I love Ooh! Events because they have literally the coolest rentals ever!!!!!!!! We just recently got married at Old Roberds Dairy Farm and had Ooh! Events rentals for pretty much every rental besides linens and loved everything!!! They are easy to work with -- I probably changed my proposal 500 times but Lorita was always patient with me and changed everything for me. I loved the way everything looked and it was literally perfect! Highly recommend!!!!!! -

Diane Sent on 07/03/2018We had an excellent experience with this company thanks to Candice, our wedding planner. They provided planning services, flowers and rentals for us (there is a discount if you use multiple services). The coordination services were great --- we had some consultation with Candice up-front, but not for full-service planning as our daughter (the bride) wanted to do much of the legwork (she is local to Charleston). The flowers were spectacular, and the choices for rentals were varied and perfect for our venue. We were very pleased with everything this company did for us!

Janelle Sent on 11/06/2017Destination wedding planner of the year and the next century is Candice Lorraine of Ooh! Events, Charleston, SC. The distance between us, NYC and PA, from the wedding location never hindered this professional, energetic and organized person. Her connections and recommendations to only the best in the business made this wedding a once in a lifetime event. Available by phone or email all hours of the day and night allowed the families to enjoy the anticipation of this special day. There was not a dream of this wedding day for which she did not deliver with her special talents and perseverance. Our family and friends have attended many weddings and continue to comment this was the best wedding event ever. We are grateful and blessed forever for having shared this special day with such a fabulous person and wedding planner, Candice Lorraine. We Love You!!!

Donna Sent on 11/05/2017Hiring Ooh! as our coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during the whole wedding process. They are knowledgeable, very helpful, and caring throughout the entire process! We worked with Emily, who was a complete God send. She was so easy to work with and helped us in every way possible - from designing the best floor plan for us to adding in last-minute needs at the reception. Her and Candice made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day and I will truly miss working with them! -

Bryan Sent on 11/10/2016Candice Beaty is one of the most amazing, up and coming event and wedding planners in Charleston, SC. I have been in the industry for over 16 years in this area. I have worked over 500 events. I recently worked with Candice on a Hindu-Christian wedding and was amazed at her ability to produce this event. Hindu wedding ceremonies and receptions are so incredibly detailed. It truly takes someone that understands the attention to detail required to successfully bring this event together. I can't recommend Candice enough. I saw her meet her clients needs attentively, patiently and to a "T" as well as easily manage multiple vendors for this 250 person event. I was amazed. Candice handled everything like the PRO that she is. I highly recommend you consider this incredibly, bright and talented young woman for your event! -

User1188858 Sent on 07/04/2016I loved all of the rentals at Ooh Events! They were jewels to work with in helping select all of our needs for my daughter's wedding on June 10 at The Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation. They worked fabulously with our wedding planner, Natalie Know at Boone Hall. Their rentals, design and setup was everything my daughter wanted and more. We loved all of the rentals, but especially loved the twig chandeliers that were made even more beautiful by Out of the Garden! Love everyone I worked with at Ooh Events! -

Marissa Sent on 09/01/2015I am still in the process of working with jeri from ooh! Events and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a planner and services in charleston area- look no more. Jeri had been extremely kind and calming in such a stressful time for a bride. Her experience really shows through when I am selecting pieces for the wedding- it's like she already knows what I am thinking. I will repost after the wedding with an update but I honestly couldn't be happier with this company. -
