My experience with Carla and Perfect Peony Events was excellent. I was planning a NYE wedding in Charleston remotely, so there were a lot of challenges in figuring out how to get everything set up perfectly. Carla is incredibly professional, assertive and action-oriented, which is everything you need in a wedding planner. I used the partial planning service. I had already set up most of my vendors, but it was helpful to have her input through the year as small things came up. Once we got to about 6 weeks out we were chatting pretty regularly and she was always available for consult. I think she was managing several weddings during this time, but I always felt like a priority when I reached out with questions and she always helped with whatever I needed. All my vendors appreciated her clear communiction style. On the day of she set up our venue perfectly, and handled all the minute details. When we got back to our room that night, I was so pleased to see the collection of things we had left around the venue and completely forgotten about like my ceremony shoes, our cake, all of our gifts, etc! She doesn't forget a single detail.

Carla and Perfect Peony were wonderful to work with during our daughter's recent wedding and reception. Carla was responsive, prepared and professional, and cool-headed. She helped us navigate the planning process - asking questions I hadn't considered - and she rolled with the inevitable punches on the day-of - helping us quickly pivot to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. She thinks on her toes and solves the problem. No drama. No time wasted. And she was also enjoyable to work with - warm and kind. I found myself thinking how impressive it is that she can move from event to event with the energy and focus and joy that she does. We said several times that we were glad Carla was in our corner!

I cannot say enough good things about Perfect Peony Events. We had partial planning and day-of coordination for my daughter’s wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made. Carla was a dream to work with and brought us great peace of mind when things got busy with wedding planning! And Kari took care of everything on the day-of such that we could focus on enjoying every moment. If you are debating whether to hire a wedding planner, I can say it is definitely worth it. And if you are wondering who to hire, look no further than Perfect Peony Events!
