The Engaging Events difference
In-house design & décor
Our own warehouse of furnishings and lighting, plus a full in-house design team, lets us shape the entire atmosphere in one place — not piece it together.
Twenty years in Charleston
Deep knowledge of the region's plantations, historic buildings, resorts and beaches — and the vendor relationships to make any of them work beautifully.
Full service, end to end
From a custom budget and venue negotiation to the final timeline of your wedding weekend, we manage every detail so you can simply enjoy the day.
From couples & clients
“They listened, and they learned us — both of us — with their love for their craft and their appreciation for who we are. They made a vision we couldn't verbalize at times come to life.”
“We worked mostly with Anna, who was so professional, kind and organized. We were planning a wedding out of state, and the guidance of both Anna and Cindy was essential. They knocked it out of the park — you could tell they truly cared about the experience being beautiful, organized and personal.”
“I am so happy we chose Engaging Events to help plan our wedding. They planned and executed a perfect day, and my wife and I were able to enjoy ourselves because of the confidence we had in the team.”
