Many thanks to Kennedy and the entire Sparkles team for making my daughter's dream wedding a reality! Kennedy in particular was such a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend booking Sparkles to coordinate your wedding or next big event! -

Overall the most amazing planning and decor!
Sparkles is absolutely the best!! We used them for our rehearsal, welcome party, and wedding day and I could not have had my dream wedding weekend without them. They were all so responsive and easy to communicate with via email or text. They brought all of my exact visions to life and truly made my wedding day timeline perfect so that me and my family had zero stress and could enjoy the day. I truly could not recommend them more 💞 -

The Sparkles team is incredible!! Drew, our lead planner, truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day ever. With venue changes and figuring out logistics for our food truck, she remained flexible and positive and ended up putting together the most beautiful ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces that turned out better than we could have even imagined. Their team took care of booking the rentals, decor, and florals that we selected. They built our timeline and layouts and communicated the final timeline to our bridal party/family and vendors. The entire day ran so smoothly and seamlessly because of their hard work. This team exceeded our expectations for a “partial planning package” because they did so much more than that. We are so thankful for them!! -

Georgeann Sent on 12/29/2021I love the Sparkles team!
WOW! BA and the Sparkles team made my wedding day and the entire planning process an absolute dream. From helping me come up with a vision, to hopping on calls when I needed, to being flexible when I changed my mind on a decision we made (which happened a lot, especially the 2-3 weeks before the wedding), BA made me feel so comfortable and seen. Her team put together my dream wedding. I had no stress on my wedding day, and I credit a lot of that to the Sparkles team. I got married in Pawleys Island, SC, and BA helped me plan with the local vendors flawlessly. I cannot recommend this team enough. -

The crew at Sparkles did an absolute amazing job for our wedding!! They were always there to help us make decisions and provide suggestions when necessary. The event itself was beyond stunning....there are literally no words to describe it! Three months later and we still have people saying it was one of the most beautiful weddings they'd ever seen.
We are so grateful for everything they did! I highly recommend Sparkles!! -

Anna Sent on 11/09/2020A Perfect Night
Betty Anne and the Sparkles team were amazing to work with for our October wedding. From our first meeting I was blown away by how helpful and creative Betty Anne was. Throughout the entire wedding planning process she was a calming presence and I never felt that my wedding was not in good hands. Through the obstacles of having a COVID wedding, I never once feared because I knew BA and her team would figure out any issue that may arise. The day of our wedding was literally the best day of my life. They created a fairy tale that I never even thought was possible.
Betty Anne made the extremely stressful task of wedding planning much more enjoyable and eased our concerns with her experience and insight. Her vendor recommendations blew us away and made our special night all the more magical. We never had any communication issues with Betty Anne, we always got prompt responses whenever we had questions or concerns. I could go on and on about how pleased my husband and I were with hiring Betty Anne as our wedding planner but to keep it short, I cannot recommend her services enough to anyone who is looking to make their dream wedding come true, no matter what your budget is! -
Mary Sent on 06/30/2018One of the BEST decisions my fiance and I made was to book with Sparkles! BA Rhode (owner) was the biggest help! She helped us outline the entire wedding, from the ceremony to the reception to the decor! She helped us find vendors within our price range and contacted them constantly to make sure we had what we wanted. She answered every call, every email, and any random question I had! On the day of the wedding, the Sparkles girls went above and beyond to set up everything and direct the guests/vendors throughout the event, making it the best day ever! It was the wedding of our dreams and Sparkles was 100% the reason why! Book them now!!

Lisa Sent on 05/29/2018There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for BA and her team. The entire planning process was fun, with the exception of Noisy Oyster/A Southern Affairs backing out of catering less than 2 weeks before the event, and she even pulled that emergency off with grace helping us get Harvest Catering (amazing team). Everything was absolutely gorgeous!

Amanda Sent on 03/13/2018BEST DECISION WE MADE! I was blessed to have BA Rhode (owner) by my side through my entire wedding planning process. I hired her as a Day of Coordinator/Partial Planner. BA was always quick to respond, extremely professional, and above all my sanity. If you decide to have the Sparkles team, 'sparkle' your day, let them do just that. Trust that they will execute your vision. Allow them to be creative and work their magic. I promise you will not be disappointed.
The months leading to our wedding presented challenges that were not your typical wedding planning challenges. BA kept me grounded and was always my listening ear through the process. She always made me feel like I was her only bride. We had several changes throughout our wedding and the biggest occurred less than 6 weeks before that resulted in a change in venues, vendors, and the size of our wedding. BA helped pull it off seamlessly. She was on top of everything and thought of things I hadn't even considered.
I had a vision for our wedding and trusted BA to pull it off. I gave her free reign over designing our wedding. I picked our colors, provided her with a few decor pieces that I wanted to incorporate, and let her do her thing. Her team exceed my expectations and our wedding was absolutely beautiful! Every detail was perfect. We had guests continuously commenting and complimenting on how beautiful everything looked. She made some changes from our initial design consultation and I could not have been happier with the outcome.
I could not thank this team enough for all that they did to make our wedding day perfect. I would do it all over again with them in a heartbeat. Thank you again to the Sparkles team for making our wedding day a dream come true!
I wish I had more photos readily available to share- I only have a few. -

Jaclyn Sent on 12/11/2017The Sparkles team is out of this world! From day one they were so nice, helpful, and creative! They took our vision and turned it into the most beautiful set up ANYONE has ever seen! Our patriotic red, white and blue theme had the most perfect pops of color and was stunning. It was better than we could have ever imagined it to be thanks to the Sparkles team! The best is they are a one stop shop! We not only used them for planning but their show room is amazing for decor rentals! I am so incredibly happy we chose them and everyone else should choose them if you want the best day ever!

Michelle Sent on 12/10/2017We can't speak highly enough of Brandy, BA, and everyone on the Sparkles team! They were so hands on and able to make the vision we had for our wedding come to life. Through our ten month engagement we enjoyed every time we got to meet with them and I can't emphasize enough how easy they made the whole process. I can easily say they became part of the family and we couldn't imagine our wedding without them! They handled every little detail flawlessly and I walked into the church without a worry in the world and only had feelings of excitement to marry the love of my life. I could honestly write a book on how wonderful these ladies are and 5 stars is not even remotely close to how many stars they really deserve. A million thank you's to Sparkles, Event Decor & Design!! -The Sullivans

Lindsey Sent on 05/04/2023HORRIBLE - Do Not Hire for Agapae Oaks
We were recommended to Betty Anne by our venue. She assured us that everything would be handled professionally down to the last detail. 8 months before the wedding, we were handed off to Drew and never heard another word from BA. This was never mentioned when we hired her. Drew assured us that she had worked this venue multiple times and knew exactly what to do. That part was somewhat correct. She knew exactly where to tell the rental company to put everything, but after that it was downhill. For MONTHS leading up to the wedding it took forever to get an answer on thing, final layouts, final numbers, etc. I was patient and gave her the benefit of the doubt, just assuming that she had been given too many weddings for one planner to handle reasonably. Also they are mostly a "month-of" service, so I didn't complain. The weeks leading up to the wedding were okay, when I tried to give specific details of things I was told "heard" and "noted". Turns out none of these things were, in fact, noted.
On the day of, it was an absolute disaster with them. I showed up to look outside from the bridal suite I could see TONS of things in the wrong place or just not even out. I had to call her and tell her what to do and where things needed to go. Keep in mind, I packed every single piece of decor in clear packing bins with DETAILED lists on the lid of each box labeling what items were inside, how many of each item there was, and where that item was supposed to go.
They did not come inside the house ONCE to keep us on schedule. My photographer had to keep us on a schedule once we realized the Sparkles team wasn't going to (they made the itinerary. isn't that the number one job of a wedding planner?) We ended up being rushed all day long and it was stressful to say the least. We even showed up EARLY. We just weren't told what to do. None of us had our phones on us because we didn't think we were supposed to be in charge of the schedule. It was just a disaster after that. Decor looked sloppy and I put tons of money and effort into making sure every detail was perfect. (The signature cocktail sign was in its box behind the bar for god's sake - is that not one of the most common wedding decorations???) Vendors weren't managed. And my bridesmaids basically ran the reception. Including going inside to find the glowsticks and party favors to toss out when the Sparkles team was sitting inside playing on their phones. I also heard that Drew snapped at guests who made comments like "do they even have a wedding planner" and "who is the wedding planner this is a disaster".
Instead of wasting anymore time and energy complaining about a company who could care less I'll just leave it at this... they were sloppy, unprofessional, and careless. I sent a list of items that went wrong on the day of and got no response or apology from Betty Anne.
Oh, I feel as if I should also mention that her granddaughter got married the weekend after me at the same venue and it looked amazing. Seems as if my wedding fell second string to that one and no one really cared.
