Bouquets & Bowties saved my wedding day!
There are not enough words to describe how incredible Chauncey, Riley, Dwight, and the Bouquets & Bowties planning team are! They are truly heroes and I don’t know what I would have done without them. From the very beginning, Chauncey and her team were so personable and professional and we knew we were in good hands. They answered all of my countless questions and I never felt like I was a bother. Genuinely, I didn’t know how people plan weddings without a planner but now I don’t know how anyone does it without the B&B team specifically. My outdoor 4/8/23 wedding should have been the perfect spring day until a horrible cold front rolled in and produced literally the coldest high temperature we have ever seen on this day. It was forecasted to dump rain all day and I was a WRECK. Thankfully I had Chauncey to handle everything that week and I knew that even though the weather wasn’t what I was envisioning, I had full confidence that her team would make it the best day possible. They had a Plan B, C, and D for the weather and they reacted so quickly to the rapidly changing weather. We were able to have the gorgeous outdoor ceremony that we wanted and then a beautiful tented reception that the team set up impeccably. It started dumping rain right at the last song of the night and the planning team were such troopers running around outside making sure our families’ cars were packed up and the venue was cleaned up. In addition to everything above, I want to make sure that I add that every member of the team felt like a real friend. There were several moments during the day where I just needed to crack jokes with someone and Chauncey and Riley were there laughing along with me. Just do yourself and your wedding a favor and book Bouquets & Bowties! Love you guys! -

You need to book Bouquets and Bowties!
Chauncey and her team are absolutely incredible! She made the planning process so simple and completely handled all the communication with vendors. The day of was absolutely amazing and the team ran the show flawlessly without any stress. Even down to the smallest detail, nothing went wrong. I cannot believe how easy she made this experience for us. I had no stress and was able to completely enjoy the experience. Do not look any further, you have to have Chauncey and B&B! -

I can’t say enough amazing things about Chauncey, Riley and the rest of Bouquets and Bowties. From the very beginning of planning, they were there every step of the way answering all my questions and willing to take a call. She has wonderful insight on different vendors throughout Charleston and was able to make great recommendations to us. B&B made sure our day went without a hitch, and we truly could not have done it without them. Our bridal party and families were able to truly enjoy the day without having to worry about a thing! If you are looking for a planner in the Charleston area, you cannot go wrong with Bouquets and Bowties! -

Amazing in every way!!
Chauncey and her team were AMAZING in planning and executing our wedding. I am super type-A and am from out of state so I thought planning from afar would be challenging. With Chauncey it couldn’t have been easier! She and her team kept me informed every step of the way and completely saw my vision. They were so organized. Our wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined. Riley was amazing and helped with our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner set up! Highly recommend this incredible team!!! -

Chauncey and Riley are INCREDIBLE and ensure that your wedding day is exactly as you have envisioned it. Personally, they put me at ease and genuinely made the whole wedding planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. I was anxious about everything that needed to be done, but Chauncey’s constant communication, email check-ins, and meetings made everything manageable. She will take everything off of your plate and will be there for you every step of the way. She handles everything in stride and with a sense of professionalism- even if your mom decides to take a FaceTime conference call in the middle of a design meeting (ha!). No detail goes unnoticed with them; I made a request to have time to eat all of the hors d’oeuvres during our cocktail hour. They made sure that happened and even got me my own platter to enjoy with my husband out in the courtyard before we went inside for the reception.
Not only were Chauncey and Riley there for me in terms of our wedding, but when my grandmother passed away two days before the wedding, they made sure that they were there for me and my family personally, too. They were simultaneously a shoulder to cry on and they lifted my spirits so that I could enjoy our big day. To our surprise, a few days later at my grandmother’s funeral, the most beautiful floral arrangement was delivered from Chauncey and Riley. That gesture meant so much to me and my family. They go above and beyond and genuinely care about all of their clients. I can not say enough wonderful things about Bouquet and Bowties and highly recommend them to everyone planning a wedding in the Charleston area! -

Jacinda S. Sent on 05/02/2022Hiring them was the best decision ever!
Wow were we lucky to be able to book these ladies! It was a little over a year out from our date that we started interviewing wedding planners (and thank God we did, because things book up in Charleston SO fast), and as soon as we started talking with Chauncey and Riley we knew before we even got off the phone with them that they were the ones we wanted.
Riley ended up being the lead planner for us, and I have to admit that when they told us that I was concerned because she is so young looking, and I figured she couldn’t possibly be very experienced. I’m here to tell you: DO NOT LET LOOKS DECEIVE YOU!! She is absolutely on top of her game! For being as young as she is, you would think she’s been doing this her whole life. I promise you, you are in the best hands you could possibly be in if Riley Johnson is planning your wedding.
I can’t even tell you how many times she was there to reassure me that everything would be perfect and to ease my anxieties about everything coming together, and she was right: Everything did turn out perfectly, because of HER. It literally rained all day on our wedding day right up until our ceremony. Our reception area was completely flooded out, and on the fly she came up with the perfect back-up plan and saved everything. I don’t know how she pulled it off, other than she is just AMAZING at what she does. And probably a genius lol.
From beginning to end, she saw to it that my vision for my dream wedding came true. I am literally about to cry happy tears just writing this and thinking of how grateful I am that we had her. She really took the best care of us, and she will take the best care of you too if you are lucky enough to to get to have her as your planner.
So have I raved about Riley enough?? The answer is no, because it’s not possible. We love you Riley. Thank you for giving us the best day ever. -

Lauren S. Sent on 06/01/2021Amazing experience - 3rd person in my family to hire Bouquets and Bowties
Chauncey and Riley with Bouquets and Bowties are the best wedding planners in Charleston! I am the third person in my family to plan a wedding with them. My sisters and I all had very different sizes/venues and each wedding turned out amazing. Bouquets and Bowties can really do it all! They are responsive, organized, knowledgable, and creative. From start to finish, I felt so taken care of. They helped with planning, logistics, day of, you name it. Incredible value and unparalleled attention to detail. 10/10 highly recommend. You cannot find a better wedding planner in Charleston. Bouquets and Bowties made my day so special and more importantly a day that everyone enjoyed :) Book them now! -

Jacqueline D. Sent on 04/25/2021Could not be more grateful for Bouquets and Bowties!
I am going to try to put into words how much of an incredible job Chauncey, Riley and the Bouquets and Bowties team did. They truly made my dreams come true and I could not have had such a fairytale of a wedding without them. Chauncey had every aspect of our wedding perfectly planned and handled everything with grace. She helped me from start to finish, then restart to finish once COVID postponed our first date. I am forever grateful for them. All our family members and guests even commented on how wonderful Chauncey and Riley were, helping with every aspect of the day. If you’re planning a SC wedding, these are your girls! -

Sm Sent on 11/20/2020This all-star team made our wedding dreams come true
Words can’t describe how thankful we are for Chauncey, Riley and the incredible Bouquets and Bowties team. They were by our side since the very beginning: from helping us form our original wedding vision for 200+ guests to seamlessly translating this vision for 30 guests during a global pandemic. This is a clear testament to their experience in the field, strong relationships with trusted vendors and their sheer talent.
In terms of our vision, it was very important to both of us and our families that our wedding be as safe and sustainable as possible and invest in locally-owned women-run businesses. Being a woman-owned business themselves, Bouquets and Bowties helped us identify the vendors that “got it” and supported our expectations among vendors to reduce, reuse and get creative.
Furthermore, Bouquets and Bowties went above and beyond the call of duty. No matter what was thrown our way, they were there for us and offered great comfort and sound solutions to our families as we navigated an otherwise painful year. We are so deeply appreciative to Bouquets and Bowties for giving us one of the most special gifts we could ever have -- memories we will cherish for a lifetime. -

Chauncey and her team at Bouquets and Bowties made my wedding dreams come true and took all the stress out of planning a wedding! They were always quick to respond to all my texts and emails, which was very reassuring when planning a Charleston wedding from PA in this crazy COVID time. Everyone says that the last month of planning prior to the wedding is extremely stressful and hectic but I can honestly say that I never felt this way because of how amazing Bouquets and Bowties were. They coordinated with all our vendors and made sure everyone knew when to be where and at what time for the big day. They took the stress out of planning a wedding, even when we weren’t sure COVID was going to allow for it. Our day went flawlessly as the team was more than prepared with everything we needed and more. They even had superglue on hand when one of my guests blew our both dress shoes walking INTO the wedding (lol) and were able to fix his shoes. They turned the blank slate of the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall into the magical wedding dream that I have always hoped for. I can not say enough good things about Bouquets and Bowties. -

Chauncey & Riley - I cannot say enough good things about y'all. First of all, you're one of the reasons I even made it down the aisle in 2020. Second, you did FANTASTIC! The best part about my wedding day was not having to stress once, and walking into The Cedar Room and seeing my vision aka Pinterest come to life perfectly. Anyone reading this HIRE THEM! They're worth well more than you're paying for, believe me. Oh and one word of advice - read your timeline! Thought my wedding ended at 11pm, however I got a bonus 30 minutes that I wasn't aware of thanks to Chauncey's wonderful planning... but should have read my timeline ;) -

Words cannot describe how incredible Chauncey and her team have been during our 2 year wedding planning. Since our wedding was a destination and we were not very familiar with what vendors to use. Chauncey provided us a list of vendors and gave recommendations knowing our budget. We were about 2 months before we wedding when COVID put everything on hold. Not only was Chauncey helping us with re selecting a new date but was also confirming with our vendors to ensure they were available too. She made sure the transition was smooth and seamless. Since Chauncey had a prior commitment on our new wedding date, she assigned Riley to take over. Riley's communication and attention to detail was impeccable. I know our wedding was not the only one being rescheduled but Riley did a phenomenal job ensuring nothing was being missed. The day of our wedding was stress free, fun, and memorable because of Chauncey and Riley. We could not thank them enough for not only planning our first wedding date (pre-covid) but to continue the wedding planning 3 months later. I would 100% recommend Bouquets and Bowties to anyone looking at Charleston for there wedding. You will not be disappointed. -

As soon as I mentioned to anyone that Chauncey was my wedding planner they would reply, “Oh, she’s the best!” She has the reputation of doing anything it takes to get something done and that’s what you want in a planner. I worked with her for over a year planning our wedding and I never once felt like we weren’t on the same page. She was always quick to respond to my questions no matter how small or insignificant they might have been. She has an answer for everything because she has done every type of wedding. She was always quick to offer various options and price ranges for vendors, decor, rentals, etc. I wanted to try to do a lot of DIY aspects and she made them all happen without hesitation.
Especially during COVID, you want someone who knows what’s going on with the ever changing circumstances, rules and limitations. She assured me that my wedding would happen the way I wanted it. Before the thought even crossed my mind, she had hand sanitizer stations rented and cocktail tables spread out for guests who wanted to distance themselves.
The day of our wedding, Chauncey and her team waited on me hand and foot. I was ushered around to everything I needed to do getting ready and taking photos. They brought me food and drinks. Carried my veil, train and bouquet around following me everywhere making sure I was happy. I seriously felt like I was being helped by friends all day. I didn’t have to think about what I needed to do next, they just made sure I did it. I was never bothered with any issues that may or many not have arisen and I will never know. They took care of everything before I noticed!
If you are planning a wedding and want as much stress taken off your plate as possible, hire Chauncey. She will absolutely make sure whatever you want gets done. I have no idea how she does it, but she does tons of weddings every month and kills it. She is definitely the best wedding planner in Charleston, even if I’m biased! I loved working with her and felt sad afterwards not constantly being in touch with her! I can’t thank her and her team enough for everything!!
