Brittany P. Sent on 07/26/2022A dream becoming reality
June 22, 2022, my dreams came true. What everyone did not see was all of the hard work and back and forth that took place to make my dream wedding become a reality.
Charlie helped me shape my vision for our wedding from the first time we met, until the last time we met (still crying because I miss talking with her). Let me preface this review by stating that I am NOT an easy person to deal with…type A, control freak, micromanager. Charlie mitigated my personality type and my million requests by helping me prioritize necessities and focus on details of our wedding bit by bit. She graciously guided us and allowed me to express my vision time and time again. She found answers, ideas, and even encouraged some of the over the top, non traditional aspects I wanted on our special day. My husband Javier and I are so grateful to have had such a wonderful experience with being able to take a back seat when it came to dealing with so many vendors, since Charlie knows the right people and has the great connections! Seamless, flawless, breathtaking are the words to describe her work and work ethic. My friends and family are STILL raving about our wedding and the details, all courtesy of By Charlie Ltd.
If you are looking for someone to take your worries away pre wedding, go above and beyond during the wedding, and even become a life long friend post wedding, Charlie is the planner for you. Wish I could give her one million stars! 🥰 -

A beautiful and unforgettable evening in St. Lucia
By Charlie did the fabulous job planning and executing our event. They transformed the venue into what only can be described as magical. The special touches made the night very special. They are very well-connected to all the vendors and suppliers which allowed us to make changes without it, becoming an issue. I would highly recommend ByCharlie to anyone planning an event in St. Lucia. it is our second time using ByCharlie, first, for our sons destination wedding in St. Lucia and now again for my wife’s 60th birthday. Nothing but spectacular. -

Professional and exceptionally creative making my event truly magical
The entire By Charlie team delivered over and above expectations. Planning my event was made easy because Charlie was a wealth of ideas and Information. During the planning stage she offered up many options to customize my party to suit “me”. Her attention to detail and the teams overall execution from set up to take down made everything easy. All of me guests expressed the how much they enjoyed the event and how magical the location looked. -

We hired Charlie after seeing pictures of her prior work. We are from California but decided on a destination wedding in Saint Lucia. She did an AMAZING job ensuring our special day went smoothly. Communication was great, which I appreciated. My guest loved the catamaran ride that she set up for us the day before the wedding. The decor was beautiful. We're happy we decided to go with her as opposed to sticking with the wedding planner from the resort. She really made my life easier. -

Charlie & her team are simply the BEST! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding week in St. Lucia and Charlie went above and beyond to make it happen. I don't know what we would do without her - we're so thankful!! -

THE BEST Wedding Weekend
I attended my cousin's weekend this past weekend and Charlie was the wedding planner. From the moment I arrived in St. Lucia to the moment I left, I didn't have to think or worry about anything. Every single detail was perfect thanks to Charlie. And I was one of 130+ guest that all had the same exact experience. -

One to Remember!
Our beautiful wedding was held on the 23rd of July 2022 in Cap Estate, St. Lucia. We’ve literally only arrived back to London a couple of days now and honestly, I haven’t stopped smiling since! We had such an amazing and memorable day. I want to start this review first by saying a big THANK YOU to Charlie and her team. I had so many anxieties and worries when we first started planning after our engagement back in 2020, mainly because of the uncertainties with covid and restrictions for our families and friends which at first was a little stressful, but Charlie really supported us along the way, kept us up to date with protocols, liaised with our hotel/venue to confirm or iron out any issues and thankfully as restrictions started to ease, planning became a lot more smoother. We were on a strict budget having brought our first home before the wedding, but Charlie was still able to capture the elements of what we wanted for our day and not just make it happen… but exceeded expectations by far! Charlie helped us plan a pre-wedding catamaran boat trip beforehand which was such a lovely touch and our families & friends really enjoyed it.
For anyone who is planning on having a destination wedding in St. Lucia and are not able to physically visit back and forth beforehand, I must make it strongly known that having just a “Wedding Co-ordinator” based in your hotel venue is not enough! You strongly need a wedding planner along with your hotel co-ordinator. We were having our wedding venue inside a hotel where our guest was also staying and unfortunately, we really had a few issues trying to get certain things sorted. I am so thankful that we had Charlie, who was able to visit and meet the co-ordinator on a regular basis to sort and fix the issues for us while we were in London. You also get a lot more options to what you can have or add to your wedding where Charlie can advise just to make the day that little more special. Charlie was so honest and trustworthy when breaking down finances, cost, and options to help us stick to our budget. I know for a fact that if we didn’t have Charlie, the preparation would have been highly stressful, and of course the stress of a wedding is already enough in itself.
Thank you Charlie for helping us have such a beautiful memorable day. You are truly amazing at what you do, and I would recommend Charlie to anyone wishing to have a destination wedding in St. Lucia. -

Ashley H. Sent on 01/30/2022An absolute dream
Where to even begin writing this review?! Planning a destination wedding I knew I wanted to hire a local coordinator (especially since I had never been to St Lucia before) and I found the perfect match in Charlie. She somehow magically put together our absolute dream week (she also helped us coordinate a welcome bon fire + catamaran day prior to our wedding day), making it look like the easiest thing in the world. With COVID rules changing by the week and our guest count fluctuating all over the place she took it all in stride and never let us loose faith that it would all work out. Her team of vendors that she works with are 10/10, and we were thrilled with everyone from hair + makeup to the bar staff. It felt like having a bunch of new friends at our wedding vs. people working at our wedding which was amazing. Charlie went above and beyond, even dropping off extra high chairs/pack and plays etc for my niece so we didn’t have to travel from the west coast with them. She also leaned into our style completely and let us dictate how the day went (we ditched a lot of traditional things like garter toss/cake cutting etc.) to make the day feel like our own. I could keep going on and on, but the summary here is that we had the absolute best time ever on St Lucia and I was able to relax and enjoy it all vs. stress about planning, all thanks to her and her amazing assistant Dela. We are forever grateful! -

Thanks to Charlie the design was everything that we wanted! We felt no worries knowing that she involved for our big day. Being a destination wedding there was good communication and visual presentations of all ideas and everything throughout.
We both highly recommend her for making your wedding design ideas come to life! -

Niki R. Sent on 12/07/2021The best decision I ever made was hiring Charlie (then marrying my husband)
If I could give Charlie one million stars, I would. Hiring Charlie was the best decision I ever made (followed by marrying my husband ;D)
As many of you reading this likely feel the same, planning a wedding is stressful without COVID and then you add in COVID to a destination wedding it's a cluster F@*$. To add to that, when I say every possible roadblock from the universe that could have come up did, it's an understatement...but we had Charlie and she saved the day everyday.
She understood our vision, remained cool, calm and collected and was constantly problem solving for us. She helped us plan a 3 day event (inclusive of a welcome party, rehearsal, main event wedding) and it was magical for both us and our 51 guests.
We had several guests tell us that this was the best wedding they've ever attended and that truly would not have been possible without Charlie. She's our fairy god mother and now friend.
If you're on the fence of working with her, don't. Just do it. It's 10000000% worth it.
