Best wedding decision you can make!!!

cannot even begin to describe just how grateful I am to Mike. If you’re currently searching for, or even just considering hiring a wedding planner, you simply will not find better than Charleston Wedding Planner.

I worked with Mike for about a year and half planning our October 2024 wedding at Boone Hall Plantation. I had absolutely no idea where to start, but it took me one phone conversation with Mike before hiring him. He is bubbly, kind, down to earth, and has that type of personality that makes you feel welcome and heard with every conversation.

His process is so well thought out and simplified for Brides. For that entire year and a half, I watched him build the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen in my life and not *once* did I EVER feel that “wedding stress”. He helped guide me through every decision that needed to be made, and is able to provide connections to all of the TOP vendors. He has been in this business for a long time and has worked with the best. He was easily able to grasp what I was envisioning for my wedding day and knew the exact vendors that would work best for our particular style. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that EVERY vendor that I spoke to made a comment to me that Mike Winship is their favorite wedding planner to work with and that we couldn’t have picked someone better. I absolutely believe the hype.

Our wedding day has now come and gone. If something went wrong that day- I still don’t know about it! As a past bride speaking to any future brides- the biggest gift you could give yourself is the gift of peace of mind when it comes to planning your big day and Charleston Wedding Planner provides just that.

Best wedding planner ever!

We could not have imagined planning our wedding without Mike!! The first time we talked with him, we got along so well, and the conversation flowed so easy. My husband and I were engaged for two years and we had Mike for most of that time. Mike made everything super easy and stress-free during our entire engagement. Not once did we have to stress about our wedding even on the wedding day because we just knew Mike had everything handled. We had a great trust in him and he made everything absolutely perfect! He recommended wonderful vendors that did an amazing job. I highly recommend Mike if you want someone super organized, easy to get along with, and make the planning stress-free for you!

Mike Winship did an absolutely terrific job in helping plan Libby and Nick's wedding. For starters, although Mike is in high demand, he immediately responded to my inquiry about his availability. As I came to learn, Mikes quick response was not surprising because he was always incredibly responsive to me and my daughter throughout our wedding planning.
More importantly, Mike showed the patience necessary to get things done as we changed our minds dozens of times. Notably, Mike had a solution or a vendor who could address every idea we came up with. Mike knows the BEST vendors in Charleston, and they love working with him.
As they say, the proof is in the pudding, and everyone who attended the wedding said it was absolutley wonderful and all the guests had a great time. We owe Mike a debt of gratitude! While we have not worked with any other wedding planner before, it is hard to believe there is anyone better in Charleston!
