    Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

    Meredith + her team were absolutely FABULOUS. It is hard to explain in words what they meant to us during our wedding - all I can say is that the whole process would not have been the same without them. The planning, communication, creativity + thought behind everything was top notch. Not only was Meredith wonderful to work with the year leading up to the wedding, she was even BETTER (if that's even possible!) to work with on wedding weekend. Even our guests couldn't help but say amazing things about her + her team. They left no stone unturned. She really made all of our wedding dreams come to life! I would 10000% recommend Meredith and Sweetgrass Social to anyone getting married in the southeast/around Charleston. You will be so beyond happy that you hired her!

    Amazing planner in Charleston!

    Wow! Sweetgrass Social is amazing. From start to finish, we had such an amazing experience using them to help plan our wedding. Our planner, Samantha, was basically my best friend by the end. They were responsive, creative, and accommodating. They worked so hard to make my wedding exactly how I wanted it- I can't think of a single thing that they couldn't get done for me. On the day of the wedding, they handled everything- I could just enjoy the day and not have to worry because I knew they were on top of it. Anytime I needed something, they were right there. If you are looking for a planner in Charleston, this is the way to go!

    Wonderful experience

    Meredith and Carolyn were wonderful to work with. They took care of every detail and I had full confidence in them throughout the entire process. They were very considerate of our vision for the wedding and budget and ended up giving us the wedding of our dreams - it was gorgeous. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!

    HIGHLY Recommend Sam and Sweetgrass!

    Sam and the team at Sweetgrass were not only extremely pleasant to work with, but they kept us on the right track and offered guidance the entire way. We felt at ease knowing Sam was on top of every detail. When we were researching wedding planners, all the other vendors had great things to say about Sweetgrass and now I know why. I would highly recommend them! Thank you Sam and team for making our wedding and the entire experience one we will always remember and our guests will always talk about!

    A Great Choice!

    Planning an out of town wedding, while living busy lives, seemed a daunting task until we met Sweetgrass Social. From day one, we felt that the wedding was in creative and capable hands. Samantha was a great communicator--clear and timely and we never felt that we didn't have her full attention. As we met with vendors, the common theme was "I am so glad you are working with Sweetgrass. They are so organized and easy to work with--a great team." As someone who is a "Type A worker bee," I was unsure that I could sit back and let the Sweetgrass team handle the wedding festivities. However, I trusted them and they did not disappoint. Best night of my life!

    Sweetgrass Social will take your wedding to the next level!

    If you wondering if a wedding planner is 'worth' it - take it from a bride who began planning before a pandemic and had a wedding in a pandemic, IT 100% IS! Sweetgrass Social, Meredith Tanton specifically, is an absolute dream to work with.

    In the beginning stages of planning there was no pandemic yet and Meredith was on top of everything. She is extremely organized and each time speaking with her she was able to clearly and concisely let my fiance and I know exactly what needed to get done and by when. She researched local vendors as well as trusted vendors she had worked with before and presented them to us and really helped us narrow down our selections. Meredith made an effort to get to know me, my personality, and my style to really design a wedding that suited me.

    Once we booked vendors, some of which were her suggested vendors but some I found on my own - she was a great liaison for us - all of our vendors absolutely adored Meredith and respected her professionalism and organized attitude.

    Once the pandemic hit instant panic hit, as we weren't sure exactly how this would affect our wedding day. Our wedding was November 14, 2020 so back in March we were sure this pandemic would blow over. With the quick experience Meredith picked up from her pandemic weddings in those early months, she was able to quickly give us options as backups and how we could still have the day of our dreams and still have our guests be safe and comply with local COVID-19 safety guidelines. Mind you, she kept us abreast of these ideas WHILE she was totally changing and reworking other weddings she had. Even with headcount adjustments (some even the week of the wedding) she was able to pivot immediately with ease and have updated plans for us. She kept herself up to date with the ever changing COVID-19 restrictions in our localized area (Lexington, Virginia) as well as in contact with our venue to make sure all of her plans were compliant and we were still happy.

    As our wedding weekend commenced Meredith and her assistant Sam were such calming forces. Not once did I feel flustered or question how the day would turn out, because they were on top of everything. Meredith and Sam made our bridal party and family feel comfortable on the day of the rehearsal so everyone felt confident leading into the big day. They also made several trips up to the venue to help vendors set up throughout the weekend and make sure progress was being done in a timely manner.

    On the wedding day - everything went off without a hitch! Meredith ensured the bridal party had everything they needed to feel comfortable, relaxed, and fed (VERY important) on the hours leading up to the wedding. She worked with our vendors on the day of to really ensure the day went off without issue and smoothly. I've received several compliments about how perfectly the day went without any missteps or slip ups - during the entire day (guests arrival, ceremony, reception, and departure).

    I can't thank the team at Sweetgrass Social enough or Meredith enough because in a chaotic world she was able to make me feel at ease and have a wedding I didn't even think possible. My wedding experience and day was elevated because of the hard work of Meredith & the Sweetgrass Social team.

    Hands down, the best wedding coordinators in the Lowcountry!

    Hands down, the best wedding coordinators in the Lowcountry! Meredith and her team were a pleasure to work with and to be honest, Meredith has been much more than just an amazing wedding planner. She has been a friend and therapist, helping navigate through almost every situation imaginable during the planning process. Our wedding was everything we could dream of, every detail of the weekend was prefect. Nothing was over looked, from the timeline to decor, which took a ton of stress off this detail oriented bride. I highly recommend Sweetgrass Social to any bride looking to have the wedding of their dreams and looking to work with some of the most talented people in Charleston. Thank you so much Meredith, Sam and the rest of the Sweetgrass Social team!

    AMAZING planning + design team!

    As venue managers for multiple properties, we have had the opportunity to work alongside many planners + coordinators. Without a doubt, Sweetgrass Social is consistently one of our favorite teams to have onsite!

    During the planning process, Meredith, Samantha + Jacqueline expertly guide their clients through vendor selection, menu creation, floor plan design + timeline logistics. They are always quick + detailed in response. Their digital organizational systems are impressive. Additionally, their creativity + attention to detail are unmatched.

    Not only are they a wonderful vendor partner, but they also provide our clients with individualized service second to none! You are in wonderful hands with this rockstar team!

    Thank you so much! Thank you for always being such an amazing partner to work with for us and our clients! We appreciate everything you do and always love working with you!

    Thank you, Sara Garcia!

    We were planning a destination wedding in Charleston, SC from our home in Oregon so we were looking for partial wedding planning services to help with the day. Thank goodness we found Sweetgrass Social and Sara Garcia. We were able to find the perfect balance of our vision matched with Sweetgrass expertise. It was a beautiful day. It rained right before our ceremony and Sara and her team were wiping down chairs minutes before the guests arrived. Thank you for pushing us a little outside of our comfort zone and making our vision come true.

    Sara - you are the best!

    We were planning our Charleston wedding from Atlanta, so we did a lot of research and conducted a lot of interviews to pick the right wedding planner for us, but immediately after we hung up the phone with Jacqueline, we knew right away that we wanted to work with her! Jacqueline went above and beyond to help turn our vision of our dream wedding into a reality! She was so quick to respond to any questions, concerns, and suggestions we had throughout the process and always there to help with guidance for any final decisions on anything and everything! The day of timeline was organized perfectly and everything ran so smoothly all thanks to Jacqueline! I remember walking through the reception area before the events started on the wedding day and was blown away because it was everything I envisioned and more! She also had great recommendations on local vendors that helped us put together the absolute BEST team for our wedding day! It couldn’t have been more perfect! Best decision picking Jacqueline and Sweetgrass Social to help plan our wedding!

    Thank you so much Lyndsey!! We had so much fun working with you and we're so honored to be a part of your day! It was so much fun and made our job so easy because of how amazing y'all are! It was an honor to be a part of your day!!

    I can't even put into words how amazing Jacqueline and the Sweetgrass Social team is! Jacqueline was quick to respond to my questions (there were a million of them) and she was so much fun to work with. They helped me turn my vision into reality, and they were ROCKSTARS on the day of the wedding - coordinating all the vendors, details, and timeline. HIGHLY recommend to all brides looking for an incredible planning team!

    We were planning a destination wedding in Charkeston, SC and needed a planner to coordinate everything. Meredith Tanton took my daughter's idea of an island themed wedding and made it a reality. All the vendors she used were amazing and attention was paid to every detail. The day of the wedding, all I had to do was enjoy my daughter's beautiful wedding. Thanks Meredith!

    Sweetgrass Social Event + Design's reply:

    Thank you so much Merri! It was such a honor to be a part of the wedding. We had the best time getting to know y'all and working to plan such a fun wedding theme! Thank you for trusting us to bring the vision to life!

    The best decision we made in wedding planning was in hiring Jacqueline Volz with Sweetgrass Social and her father David Starks with Starks Florist. All we had to do was dream it and they made our every wish come true. They were such a great team and a delight to work with. Thank you Jacqueline and David for the best time of all our lives!!

    Jacqueline and Meredith are the best you can ask for when it comes to a wedding planner! Whether small or large, my questions were always answered and no detail was forgotten! When I told my dad that our day would just not work without Jacqueline's help, he definitely needed convincing as to why we needed a coordinator. The morning after the wedding, his exact words were "That wedding would not have happened without Jacqueline!" He could not even believe the things that she took care of how seamlessly everything ran with her in charge! I knew I didn't have to worry one bit and could enjoy myself fully with Sweetgrass Social running the show! Best wedding money we spent!!!!

    Sweetgrass helped to design and plan the wedding of my dreams! These girls are some of the hardest working people I have ever met! And they are not satisfied until every single detail is perfect. From making sure everything was in place the day of to making sure my husband and I always had something to eat and drink... No detail was overlooked. They helped to bring my ideas to life and create the best day. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I contribute it largely to Sweetgrass Social!!

    These girls were the best ever!My daughter had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline- Jenn changed a lot of things around and we are from NJ, so I was a little leary of how things could be worked out with us being so far away. Jacqueline provided us with exceptional service and professionalism and made her wedding day one of the most beautiful ever!

    When my husband and I chose Charleston, SC for our wedding destination we knew we needed to enlist the help of a planner. We were recommended to call Sweet Grass Social and after my conversation with them I didn't hesitate in hiring them one bit. Mallory Severs was our planner and I couldn't have asked for a more professional, organized, creative and dedicated person to help us! She always went above and beyond and was quick to provide a solution if there needed to be last minutes changes. Under Mallory's guidance, I felt at ease through the entire wedding process. Thank you so much Mallory and Sweet Grass Social!!

    Meredith Tanton with Sweetgrass Social held my hand every step of the way through the planning and execution of the rehearsal dinner for my son and his bride, held at Charleston Distilling Co. in downtown Charleston, SC, on June 26, 2015. She arranged all rentals -- tables, chairs, linens, china, lighting, sound, etc. -- and oversaw every detail of the planning. She supervised every element of a complicated setup, including hanging of multiple crystal chandeliers, in a very short window of time. The venue is fairly new and has not gotten all the kinks out of their process yet, which presented some challenges for Sweetgrass, but Meredith handled all with aplomb without worrying me. She has an air of confidence about her that totally put me at ease. I unreservedly recommend Sweetgrass Social for their professionalism, their encyclopedic knowledge of resources and vendors, and their ability to pull off the perfect party that reflects the client's personality and wishes rather than the trend of the moment.

    My wife and I hired Sweetgrass Social for our wedding on May 30th, 2015 at the William Aiken House in Charleston, SC. They do an fantastic job and helped relieve the stresses of planning a wedding from out of state. Jacqueline runs a smooth operation and really took the idea of what we had and blew our expectations away. The flow, colors, and over all feel where amazing and I highly recommend Sweetgrass if you're looking for the best event planners in the business. Thank you for all you did Jacqueline and Meredith.

    Hiring Meredith of Sweetgrass Social was the best decision we made! She was incredibly accommodating and helpful with vendor suggestions and advice in general. My level of stress went down every time I met or talked to her! Our ceremony and reception were beautiful and the credit goes to Meredith. It was the best day! I highly recommend Sweetgrass Social for your wedding planning needs.

    Jacqueline and Meredith did a fabulous job coordinating our wedding. They are extremely knowledgeable, organized, and professional. We had numerous emails, phone calls and face-to-face meetings prior to our event, and they did everything in their power to ensure that our event was exactly how we envisioned. On the day of, they took care of all of the details, from interacting with vendors to making sure that my husband and I had drinks in our hands. My husband, our parents, and our wedding party did not have to worry about anything. Everyone was able to relax and truly enjoy the evening, knowing that all of the details were left to capable hands. We definitely couldn't have done it without them! I would definitely recommend Sweetgrass Social to future Charleston brides!

    I'm so glad that we had Jacqueline as our day of coordinator. She was fantastic! I'm super organized, a bit of a perfectionist, and obsessed with details so it was a bit hard giving up control on the big day. But she could not have done a better job! Everything was handled perfectly and exactly as we had discussed. She was also incredibly sweet and responsive all throughout our planning process. Would definitely recommend them to others!

    Jacqueline Volz was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend. I am so thankful I had her in my corner because I was clueless on all things wedding. Jacqueline took the time to figure out my style and make recommendations around that. She constantly kept me on track and schedule. My wedding day went so smoothly I didn't have a single complaint. Jacqueline was on site for my big day and took care of everything so that I could just enjoy.

    Jacqueline, Meredith and their girls are amazing. We were engaged for almost two years and I probably drastically changed my mind on our wedding design at least three times. However, every time I changed my mind Jacqueline handled the design updates and recommendations with grace and unbelievable patience. They make a point to truly understand my vision and helped make it a reality that feels like a dream because it was that perfect of a day. My A type personality was quickly put to ease and Jacqueline and team made our wedding day the most seamless, beautiful and stress-free day ever. Several months later, guests are still raving about how smooth everything went and how stunning the design was. The bridal party was also especially impressed with the Sweetgrass team on our wedding day and how they were there for them sometimes even before you knew you needed them! If you're in search of wedding planner and designer that can make any vision a reality, get in touch with these ladies ASAP!
