I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Ashley and her team at Buttercup Events. From our very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Ashley went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are unmatched. It is clear she genuinely cares about her clients.
Ashley brought a level of confidence that put my husband and I at ease, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day to the fullest. We were planning our Charleston wedding from Dallas and Ashley's responsiveness anytime of day, any day of the week was so appreciated. She was there for us anytime we needed her, not to mention I truly looked forward to our conversations, she made every interaction easy, straight forward and enjoyable.
On the day of our wedding, her expertise shone through as she seamlessly coordinated everything and had every logistic handled, ensuring that every detail was executed perfectly. I felt like a guest at my own wedding, thanks to her meticulous planning and support.
If you're looking for a wedding planner in Charleston, look no further than Buttercup Events. Ashley is a treasure and will make your wedding dreams come true!
Amy and her team were so great to work with. They were always on top of everything, so helpful with every aspect (and I was clueless about all things weddings), always willing to provide different options if asked, answered emails quickly, and made the day itself go so seamlessly. I was able to relax and just enjoy it all because I knew Amy and her team had everything taken care of. I am so grateful for all of their help in making our day so special.
Amy and her team were so incredible and easy to work with! She is incredibly organized and truly a professional. From the first phone call we had, I knew her go getter attitude and attention to detail were perfect for us. Amy and her team have an incredible eye for design and truly create the most beautiful events. She so patiently eased all of my worries and answered our millions of questions. Planning a wedding from out of state is no easy task and she made it feel so incredibly simple! Guests could not stop talking about how seamless the night was and how beautifully the space was decorated. She truly helped us have our dream wedding and we could not recommend her more!
Any questions?
Working with Amy was a stress-free, easy experience. As someone without an idea of what it took to pull together a wedding, I needed a lot of help. Amy was extremely patient, and informative and helped walk me through every step from start to finish. She is professional, prompt, organized, and honest...always 10 steps ahead of everyone else. If you have a question, she's likely already on top of it before you even ask. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and special wedding, and we are so grateful to have had Amy as our wedding planner for such a perfect, unforgettable day.
Amy and her team are truly amazing. We were really lucky to have her as a wedding planner - providing advice, expertise and guidance throughout the hectic wedding planning process. We dealt with last minute guest cancellations and a HUGE storm the Thursday before to boot - but she remained calm, cool and collected. The day went off without a hitch and our friends and family are still talking about the wedding over a month later, saying it is the best one they have ever been to. Hire Buttercup Events you will not be disappointed! - Eliza & Peter
Words cannot describe how amazing Amy and her team were throughout the entire wedding process! We researched and interviewed several different wedding planners before talking to Amy, and we hired her immediately after our first meeting. As my husband and I don't live in the Charleston area, it was important to us that we had an experienced planner who was familiar with our venue and vision, and Amy was just that! She answered every single one of my texts and emails promptly, and made sure we were aware of all details and deadlines. We were completely relaxed going into our wedding day knowing that Amy and team had all the details covered (and not to mention, the design was everything I could've dreamed of!). HIGHLY recommend hiring Amy!
Amy and her team at Buttercup Events are a stand-out! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amy and her team for my 4/6/2024 wedding. I knew I needed an expert in all things ‘Charleston weddings’ to help my mom and I pull together the most amazing day, which is exactly what we got! The Buttercup team is so professional, talented, organized, and FUN to collaborate with! Amy was with us every step of the way and suggested the most amazing vendors to execute every detail of my vision. She was amazing at communication, keeping up with deadlines, making suggestions, and keeping us stress-free! Amy, Ashley, and Carly were so incredible on the day of by keeping everything running smoothly. So many guests commented on (and are STILL commenting on) the “the best cake we have ever had”, “ the most beautiful flowers “, “ best music and coolest DJ”, and “best overall wedding day flow”! These comments are a huge reflection on how Amy and her team work so hard to execute perfection! I am so appreciative I was able to work with Buttercup Events and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to have a truly spectacular wedding or other event!
Amy was just AMAZING! She took my very vague descriptions and visions and turned them into something even better than I could ever imagine! And you truly would never know we were trying to book this wedding from hundreds of miles away - she made everything so easy.
The design was sunning, the day was seamless, and my husband and I had just the best time, without a worry in the world.
She is such a professional, and so well regarded by all her peers - with every new vendor we booked we heard "oh, I love working with Amy!" I could not recommend her more!
Response from the Vendor on 12/28/2023
I loved doing it for you both!!! Thank you so much for your kinds words, it was a blast start to finish!
Amy was phenomenal to work with! I am not local to the Charleston area and was not familiar with vendors, but Amy was excellent in providing vendor recommendations that fit our budget/needs during the planning process. She was timely in all of our communications leading up to our wedding day and made sure to answer any/all of our questions! The day of, Amy and team made our wedding day seamless! Never once did I worry about event logistics or details. Everything from the floor plan/timeline to small details were accounted for. I could not recommend Buttercup Events enough!
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the experience Amy and her team gave my husband and I from the second we contacted her to the last minute of our wedding day. She allowed us to plan our wedding over two years from 6 states away while I was in the midst of my Masters program. Amy excels at providing a professional experience to her couple, works with vendors seamlessly, provides feedback throughout the process, and top-notch choices. Amy and her team were our saving grace on our wedding day from helping bustle my dress, getting passed hors d'oeuvres during our marriage license signing, putting on my second pair of shoes, and yes - even stitching my husband's tux pants!!! Amy goes above and beyond for her clients. I cannot imagine, and will refuse to imagine, our wedding planning process without Amy, she's an absolute legend.
LOOK NO FURTHER! Amy is incredible. From our first call with her we knew we wanted her to be our planner. Amy is one of the most reliable people I have ever worked with, her attention to detail is amazing, and she is just all around a great person. From start to finish, everything was executed perfectly. Thank you Amy for all of your hard work in planning the most perfect wedding!
Impeccable Attention to Detail with Flawless Execution
If you want every “i” to be dotted and “t” to be crossed, with zero stress and 100% confidence, you need to hire Amy DeVito of Buttercup Events. From the moment we began working with Amy, we knew we had found the best of the best. Straightforward and honest, her level of professionalism equaled instant credibility on all recommendations she made, and we entrusted her with nearly all of our destination wedding details from that point forward. We haven’t regretted one thing.
Her secret weapon? Amy can hold a timeline like nobody’s business. At one point during the reception, she ushered us through a room of 100 eager guests so that we could sit down and eat. There were so many things she handled and took care of that we will never know. When you work with Amy, she doesn’t want you to have to think about that. It was incredible to be able to leave the details in her hands and enjoy the most special day of our life together. Thank you so much, Amy, we enjoyed every moment!
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023
My greatest joy was to do this for you! Cheers to 100 years of happiness!
Amy and her team are truly remarkable. From the very onset of planning through seeing us off at the end of the reception, Amy was in complete control and an absolute dream to work with. She guided us when we needed help with vendor selections, reassured us when we were feeling anxious, and most importantly, did everything she could to ensure we actually enjoyed the day. Without a doubt the best thing we could have done for our wedding was hire Buttercup Events. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023
Literally the best ever!
Amy and her team were a dream to work with! We seriously could not have asked for a better wedding planner. We cannot thank Amy enough for letting us be PRESENT on our wedding day. In fact, our friends and family were actually concerned with how calm we were! Amy worked with us for 2.5 years to plan our perfect day. She listened to our vision, respected our ideas and budget, and provided us with incredible vendor recommendations. From the moment we first spoke on the phone with Amy, we knew she would listen to us. We also appreciated how easy she was to communicate with – whether it was a call, email, or text she would respond within minutes. We were so grateful that she was always there to answer our questions. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly organized. We had a detailed timeline, vendor list, and entire ceremony and reception floorplan. Our wedding was without a doubt the best and happiest day of our lives and we have Amy to thank for that. We were so worried that the wedding planning process would be stressful and dreadful like so many couples have described. If you want to have an incredible planning process that allows you to just focus on loving your person and planning an epic celebration, without a doubt hire Amy and the Buttercup Events team!
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2023
2.5 years was not long enough to enjoy with you guys! It was a blast start to finish!
We cannot recommend Amy enough, over the past 2 year we planned our destination wedding in Charleston. She was extremely organized, personable and responsive to our endless questions. She brought together our unique vision of bold colors and recommended the perfect vendor team to execute it.
From her detailed timelines and checklists we felt supported the entire time in the planning process. We wish we could do it all over again to work with her!
I knew I wanted to work with Amy during our first phone call and I'm so glad we had her expertise while planning our wedding! She immediately made me feel comfortable and it was evident that she was a person who gets things done. Most of our vendors had worked with Amy before and all had wonderful things to say about her and her teams professionalism.
Amy and her team at Buttercup Events were the absolute best and I felt at ease knowing that they were on top of everything. The day was perfect and we loved every minute of it.
Amy was WONDERFUL to work with! She thought of everything as she was so detail oriented and mindful of our budget. She kept us on track with a timeline and we absolutely loved all of the vendors she recommended. I was almost brought to tears by how beautiful and magical the venue turned out to be - thanks to Amy! As the mother of the bride, I was able to not worry about anything and truly be present at my daughter's wedding with friends & family. All of our friends thought this was the most fun wedding they have ever attended!
Amy and her team are the best of the best. She is equal parts creative and diligent, which makes her an incredible wedding planner. No question or request was too small or too silly throughout the wedding planning process. Amy was great with communication and attention to detail throughout the planning process and always provided the reassurance any nervous bride is looking for. Knowing we could trust Amy and her team helped make our wedding day absolute perfection. She truly is amazing at what she does, and I cannot recommend Amy and her team enough!
Response from the Vendor on 01/24/2023
Erika, you were a joy to work with start to finish!!! Cheers to you both!
When people ask how my wedding was, I tell them I had the absolute BEST time. And truly that is all I wanted - for my now husband and I to be in the moment with friends and family to fully enjoy the celebration. I know this was only possible because of Amy. As a type A planner, knowing everything was taken care of leading up to and at the wedding allowed me to relax and enjoy my day.
Highly recommend Amy if you want someone to help think through all the logistics and make sure every i is dotted and every t is crossed so you can fully enjoy your day!
Amy was the ideal wedding planner. She was attentive, easy to work with, organized and professional. She was extremely responsive and patient with all of our questions. She has a great design eye and perfectly captured our vision. All of her vendor recommendations were great and a pleasure to work with. She is efficient and straightforward. She offered great advice and insight while still making sure the event was very much tailored to us. The day of the wedding was stress free as Amy seamlessly handled set up, vendor communication and all other wedding day activities. She made the entire experience enjoyable and as stress free as possible! It was very nice knowing we were in great hands and that she was doing a lot was going on behind the scenes to create a perfect day. Highly recommend!
I feel the heavens aligned and sent Amy our way when we needed her the most! She took the reins, listened and understood our vision, then executed a flawless wedding day for our daughter!! We couldn’t be happier with our entire experience. Besides being a pleasure to work with, Amy is an absolute professional who is 100% committed. She is very well connected and respected within the wedding industry, and it shows with the great repore she has with all the vendors. As a mother, who only wants her daughter’s wedding day to be all that she’s dreamed of, I am so appreciative of Amy’s TALENTS in creating a perfectly Magical day!!
From the second I got off the phone with Amy from our initial consultation I knew she was the perfect fit for my fiancé (now husband) and I. She made me feel listened to and assured me that the wedding of our dreams was possible with our budget. Throughout the planning process, Amy was patient with my indecisiveness and helped connect us to amazing vendors. Not only is she organized and professional, but she genuinely cared about helping make our vision come to life. With COVID and having a wedding far from home there were a lot of curve balls sent our way, including last minute guest list changes, but Amy was unfazed and made it all work.
When the wedding day came I was in awe when I saw what her and her team put together. Not only was every detail perfect, but the wedding day flowed seamlessly. Our wedding day was without a doubt the best day of our lives and we owe it all to Amy and her team. I cannot thank them enough for bringing all of my husband and I's dreams come to life. If you're a future bride and actually want to ENJOY the wedding planning process Amy is your person! She is by far the best of the best! I cannot recommend her enough!!
Where to begin…Amy is the ribbon that will gracefully hold together any wedding, no matter what is thrown her way.
We think of ourselves as pretty easy going people but after 5 months with a different planner, we hit a breaking point. We didn’t know where to turn and the anxiety sky rocketed. We had an intro call with Amy and explained the situation. We knew within minutes that we wanted to put our faith into her saving our wedding and our mental state. Like previous reviews have stated, Amy is transparent, she’s professional, she’s talented and most importantly she’s extremely personable. There is no sugar coating how terrible wedding planning can be but if you have the honor of hiring Amy, you will soon realize that she can make the most anxious person feel relaxed.
On wedding day, she did not stop. She was helpful, punctual and such a delight. She truly felt like the bad ass mother figure everyone needs the most amazing (and stressful) day of their lives. No event goes exactly as planned but when she sees something isn’t in line with the picture you’ve painted, she will act FAST to get things straightened out, all while bringing laughter to the crowd.
For days and even weeks after our wedding, we had friends and family praising “that planner”. Yes, Amy is THAT planner. It perfectly sums up what you get with Amy - she is THAT planner that anyone and everyone needs to make their wedding become the day of their dreams. Thank you so much Amy, we owe you the world!
Amy is incredible!!! I came to her four months before my wedding after parting ways with an awful wedding planner. She had to pick up all the pieces that weren’t complete. She jumped right in and made the process for those last few months so smooth. She pulled major connections to get me a florist and design elements that were still exactly what I wanted. She answered emails literally within the hour when my last planner would go weeks. She made me feel so relaxed and like I could give up control of the details and boy did she nail those details. My jaw dropped when I walked into the reception area. Everything was stunning!!! My only wish is that I found her sooner. We love you Amy! Kelsey & Mike
Amy is everything you want from a wedding planner - from being your guiding light in the stressful planning process, to being able to take your design vision and turn it into a reality. As someone who dreaded the planning process, Amy was a godsend. Her quick responses, ability to cull a customized set of vendor recommendations and provide knowledgeable guidance was so invaluable. She also was able to capture exactly what we wanted the day to look and feel like and executed flawlessly. When I walked into our venue, my draw dropped. It was exactly how I had hoped the room would look. She perfectly timed the whole day as well. Amy took to heart what we wanted from the day, then took charge as the professional to help us get to that perfect end result, which is something I could never have done by myself. I can not recommend Amy enough. She will make your day absolutely perfect.
Amy saved our wedding! Our first planner was a nightmare and we were left high and dry with ZERO rentals, florals, and a ton of other things that were never done THREE MONTHS before our wedding. Desperate, we found Amy who immediately got to work to help. She is a consummate professional, experienced, and will help create the wedding of your dreams.
She answered our communication in a timely manner, sometimes on the same day or night, which was shocking because our first planner would takes days or weeks to respond. She would even reach out to us right away if there was a problem that needed fixing. She was completely transparent and up front with expectations with our rentals and budget. I cannot say enough that we felt respected with her and felt that she truly fought to make our wedding day special.
I'm a resident physician and my wife is a teacher, and so our schedules were very hectic, especially dealing with the disaster of switching planners. But Amy made us feel comfortable, valued, and well-taken care of. She will answer any question you have, get things done on time, prepare for the worst, and overall put you at ease for your big day.
On the day of, Amy was a rock star. First off, she really made our dream wedding come to life with her vision perfectly meshing with our own. Her arrangement and ideas were perfect.
Our big day was not without emergency fires, which she put out. I had a personal family matter that almost ruined our day, but Amy helped me right away, was calm, and put me at ease with her professionalism. Our ceremony also got delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, yet Amy was able to think on the fly and deliver a magical evening without any issues!
I cannot say enough how amazing Amy is. Wedding planning should be a happy, stress-free time, and Amy will make that happen.
Amy is absolutely AMAZING! Not only is she organized with an impeccable eye for design, but she is one of the most fun people ever. I loved every conversation that I had with her leading up to the wedding and beyond. She acted as part therapist and helped me navigate all of the tricky things leading up to the big day. Her honesty is extremely helpful, especially for someone who is indecisive. She is able to listen to what your vision is, and bring it to life. The day of was a testament to all of the hard work and planning, it went off without a hitch and we didn't have to lift a finger. I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was, no detail went unnoticed. All of our guests had wonderful things to say too. Amy's willingness to let me send some items for the wedding to her own home was a huge help since we had destination wedding. If you're looking for a planner that you'll love working with, who is extremely responsive, kind, organized, and dedicated, look no further than Amy. She'll make your wedding dreams even better than you could ever imagine!

You were just the sweetest bride ever! I loved being able to guide you through it, and what a great party!

Amy is the PERFECT wedding planner and designer! We were planning our destination wedding in Charleston, SC while living in NYC and she could not have made the process easier. We connected with Amy instantly because of her New York roots and loved that she worked as fast-paced as we do. She would immediately respond to any email we sent her, which made us feel so confident in everything she was doing for us. Every vendor we booked spoke about how much they enjoy working with Amy and it showed on the wedding day. Everyone worked so well together and our wedding was better than what we dreamed of. We did not really know what we wanted in terms of floral design (aside from a color scheme and some inspiration photos) and trusted Amy completely to design the entire event space for us. She worked closely with our florist to design what many of our guests said was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. We really appreciated how she took every floral arrangement from the ceremony space and added it somewhere else later on in the event to make sure that nothing went to waste. Our venue was very challenging to work with in terms of communication and Amy went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we needed from them. We really cannot recommend Amy enough!!
Amy and her team are absolutely amazing! From the beginning of working with Amy she pointed me in all the right directions, was extremely fast at answering any calls or emails, and relieved so much stress on our wedding day. We had unpredictable weather on our wedding day and Amy was so helpful at making sure everything ran smoothly and the day was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better planner.
I have had a hard time with writing this review because it has been difficult to find the words to adequately convey just how wonderful Amy and her team are. Amy operates in one of the most sought after wedding markets in the country and does so exceptionally - we would choose her to plan our wedding again and again.
My fiance and I engaged Amy and her team to plan our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding. As someone who has long dread the idea of planning a wedding, I can truly say that Amy made the process smooth, stress-free, and even fun! In fact, we already miss working with her and will forever look back fondly on our time leading up to our big day - something that I am willing to bet not many people can say. And that is completely attributable to Amy.
In addition to being organized, creative, and detail-oriented, Amy always was able to telegraph our concerns and respond to them immediately - sometimes without us even communicating them to her. On top of that, I have never worked with someone who has responded so quickly to each and every email or message I have sent her way. I'm actually not quite sure how she does it!
We were also struck with how respected she is among other wedding vendors in Charleston, which speaks more to her reputation as a planner than any review I could leave. Everyone we came into contact with sung her praises, which further reinforced to us that we were in the best of hands.
Amy designed and fully executed our dream wedding and made the entire day one that we and our parents could enjoy completely without any stress. We continue to get compliments from guests, and most importantly, know that we will look back on our wedding day with warm hearts for the rest of our lives. Amy is truly the best of the best, and I would highly recommend her full planning package if you find yourself in the market for a wedding planner in Charleston. You will not regret it.
If I could give Buttercup Events Charleston a 10 star rating I would! My daughter-in-law envisioned the perfect outdoor courtyard wedding and Amy and her team delivered. The dreamy wedding venue set the stage for a magical and romantic atmosphere. The food and service were the best I ever received at any event. Thank you Amy for truly an enchanting experience.
Amy truly was the best and helped my wedding visions come to life, asked any and all questions I had, and really knows the ends and out of the Charleston wedding scene. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
Amy is simply the BEST. She just gets it!! We didn't worry once about our vision being executed for our wedding - I knew Amy had it covered from the first conversation we had, and damn did she deliver. Through all of the stress of wedding planning, it was so comforting to know we could lean on Amy for design, vendor communication, logistics, ideas, you name it. She is understanding, honest, communicative, helpful, creative, hilarious and keeps everyone and everything in line -- everything you need in a wedding planner! And she ALWAYS has your back. I felt comfortable asking her anything & everything and she always had a thought, suggestion, fix, whatever it was we needed. She planned both mine & my sister's weddings within a year and a half of each other -- can you tell we love and TRUST her?! We miss you already!
Amy was exactly what my fiancé & I needed in a wedding planner! We got married at Mingo Point in Kiawah Island, SC - but we were planning from afar in Atlanta, GA. We hired her for the partial service package, but it felt like Amy consistently went above & beyond to provide the best service possible. From the beginning, Amy responded to all of my emails/calls very quickly & with genuinely helpful advice or answers. She worked closely with my mother & I to make sure all of our ideas for my husband & I's wedding day came to fruition. She was always honest with her opinions and feedback, which allowed me to maintain realistic expectations throughout the entire planning process. I was going through nursing school while trying to plan a wedding, so having Amy to help us figure out all of the details & logistics along the way felt like such a weight off of my shoulders! Anytime I felt stressed about wedding plans, I would reach out to Amy about them and she immediately put me at ease & offered solutions. Amy's advice is the reason we hired several other vendors from our wedding day that we were also incredibly impressed with. On our wedding day, Amy was truly on top of EVERYTHING. Her assistants were fantastic as well. I was able to truly enjoy our wedding day with zero worries - from how the event flowed to where my personal belongings were at the end of the night, Amy was on it. I'm so thankful that she was available for us to hire for our wedding day - her work truly made a difference & helped us have the wedding of our dreams! Thank you Amy!!
Amy and her team are out of this world amazing! We dreamed of pulling together a large (~200 person wedding) in a prime wedding season in less than 6 months. Many people told me it would be near impossible to do in that timeframe in Charleston and Amy made the “impossible” possible. We were thrilled with every single detail of our wedding - from the planning process to the rehearsal to every piece of wedding day (from linens to food and beyond). Amy was knowledgeable, proactive, attentive, kind, and so encouraging every step of the way. She flawlessly envisioned and executed the most perfect wedding for me and my husband. I would book with her again and again and again (if only weddings were something you did multiple times…). My sincerest gratitude to you Amy!!
Amy was so attentive throughout the entire wedding planning process, she responds right away and gives her honest opinion. We had some crazy weather the day of our wedding and she helped us be at ease in shifting things around so that everyone was comfortable the day of the wedding. Not to mention the decorating she did looked amazing, we love how everything turned out - cannot recommend Amy enough!
We are from Miami and decided to plan our wedding in Charleston. We chose Amy as recommended by our venue, but truthfully we chose her blindly because we aren’t from the area. Amy was always available to discuss any detail or concern through email or by phone. I didn’t have a specific vision for how the space and the day would look, but knew what I didn’t want and some minor details. Amy helped piece everything together and made the space look so elegant and beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted without knowing it initially. She kept all the planning details and vendor information very organized and made sure the night flowed so smoothly. She listened to my wishes about timeline and allowed us to have an amazing party with lots of dancing for most of the night. In terms of budget, she was mindful in helping us find solutions for things that were not as worth it to splurge and she helped connect us with other vendors we needed along the way. She’s extremely professional, very well respected by her peers and we just trusted her. We were so happy with the outcome and hope you get the chance to work with her too!
Hands down this is the most efficient and friendly staff of any event I've been to, wedding or otherwise. All of the staff is very personable. I would definitely use this team of professionals for my next event.
Amy is incredible. My husband and I both have jobs that don't allow us much free time and we don't live in Charleston so I needed a planner who would take care of everything with minimal to no supervision. As a New Yorker I am used to things being done quickly and was worried I wouldn't find someone who shared by sense of urgency to just get things done. Amy understood all of that and more. I cannot believe how much she did with minimal help from me. I would send her pictures of things I liked and she literally took care of the rest. I was totally stunned when I saw my reception on my wedding day. It was absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I hadn't done any work. Amy literally took care of everything. I always imagined wedding planning being this incredibly involved process, but thanks to Amy it was so easy and stress free. We even had crazy weather issues that were changing up until the ceremony but she was on top of it and made everything happen so that I could still have the outdoor wedding I always wanted. I felt so well taken care of and her quickness to respond to my questions and emails literally deserves awards. How anyone can be that responsive when they are so busy and important is mind blowing. I don't know how she does it all but I am SO thankful for her. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's such a professional and insanely good at what she does. I have no plans to have any more parties but if I did I would hire as the planner over and over and over again.
Amy was recommended by someone I trusted in the business and boy did she deliver! She was EXACTLY what my daughter needed in a planner and an advocate during the 2 years we dreamed of this wedding. The relationship of trust and responsiveness gave us peace as parents knowing she would do whatever was necessary to make the day our daughter's vision! Money well spent!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/17/2022
How lucky am I to have had you guys! So willing to roll with all the punches, and the weather was not holding back on what she was throwing our way!!!! Watching you and your guests have the time of your lives is everything I ever need.
Amy is absolutely incredible. We were planning a wedding in Charleston at the Gadsden House while living in Texas and having Amy was invaluable. She is a great resource for vendors and is a straight shooter which we loved! She helped us execute our dream wedding flawlessly. We appreciated that she helped us talk through different budget options and help us stay within what we budgeted while still achieving the look that we wanted. She kept us organized and she made the month leading up the wedding minimally stressful. She was incredibly responsive and so organized! The week of our wedding, the weather was turning sour and she helped calm all of our nerves and help us to get the most beautiful clear tent for our wedding! The week of the wedding, we were actually able to relax and enjoy the events because we knew Amy was going to direct everything flawlessly. Her team is so attentive to all of your needs day of so that all of, myself/husband and parents, could just enjoy the day! I cannot recommend Amy enough!

How lucky was I to have you guys! So willing to roll with ALL the punches being thrown our way, and there were many, but you took them in stride and kept your eye on what mattered most. So thankful for you both and loving the true New Yorker ...

Amy was absolutely phenomenal to work with! The most impressive aspect of working with her was that she earned my full trust through very responsive and transparent communication from the moment we first met. She listened to all of my opinions and used her skills to perfect those ideas into the most amazing wedding weekend! She was responsible for planning our 100 person Welcome Party as well as a full wedding day. Every detail was handled meticulously and all requests were met with a smile and swift response. Deciding on a planner can be extremely overwhelming, and I can assure you that Amy will be the best for you if you are looking for someone with intense care, great style (from typical charleston to posh modern), and professional execution from beginning to end. Amy provides excellent vendor recommendations with industry professionals that will show up prepared and on time. The best part, Amy took all the hard work and responsibilities out of my parents hands for the weekend and allowed us to relax without any stress or worry. Everyone needs an Amy!

You are too sweet with these kind words, I loved every second of working with all of you!
I am a resident doctor with no time to spare who married another doctor. We had a five month engagement due to the availability of our schedules. As soon as we figured out a rough date, we spoke with Amy.
She was straightforward, realistic, but also a go-getter who was confident she could make it happen. She made the entire process so easy. The vendors she chose for us to work with were outstanding. Amy was able to arrange a tasting for us despite the tight timeline (our venue was booked long past our wedding date).
Amy is the world's fastest email responder, so we were never left in the dark wondering what is happening with the wedding.
The week of my wedding, the weather was predicted to be rainy with ice the night before and freezing. She was able to find a solution that kept us warm and comfortable without significant budget changes and without changing the overall design or vibe.
She and her team made the day go smoothly. I was never stressed about any detail. She was professional, accommodating, and lovely to work with. My only wish is that we could get married every year so that we could talk to Amy all the time!
As the mother of the bride, I was a bit overwhelmed with the wedding planning process. I live in Charleston, SC, where the wedding was to be held while the bride and groom (my daughter and her NOW husband!) live in NYC, so I took on the majority of the planning.
Once I got the major vendors in place, I knew I needed some help to make it happen. Buttercup Events was recommended to me so I gave Amy DeVito a call and knew in the first few minutes of our conversation that she was the answer to my prayers!!
I contracted with Amy for the Month of Coordination package about six months before the wedding, and we felt her support from day one. She was always available to answer any question via email. When my daughter, Kathleen, would ask what we should do about something', I would say, "Let's ask Amy!" Amy would always respond quickly and with words of wisdom or advice that made us feel comfortable and confident.
During the rehearsal and the main event, Amy was as cool as a cucumber and kept me and the rest of the wedding party relaxed and on track. She managed everything with grace and confidence and the wedding exceeded my expectations and those of my daughter! Everyone in attendance kept saying what an amazing wedding it was and I know that was in a large part due to Amy and Buttercup Events.
I highly recommend Buttercup Events for your wedding or any party where you need assistance. Amy is a pleasure to work with and I am honored that she was part of such a special event for our family. We couldn't have done it without her (and her fantastic assistant, Taylor)!!!!!
Everyone needs Amy as their wedding planner. I don’t have enough words to describe how lovely she is! She is hands down the best wedding planner who becomes a friend along the way. She is exactly what I needed throughout the entire process. She makes it seamless and EASY!!!! She listens to everything you want and makes it happen all within budget! My wedding was the best night of my life and I credit that all to Amy. From little details to huge design details Amy covered it all and knocked it out of the park. Most people talk about weddings being stressful and that is NOT the case with Amy. She allows the bride to enjoy the process which is so wonderful. Saying she is simply the best ever does not even describe how amazing she is! Definitely hire Amy!!! You will not regret it!!!!

To say you all were a total joy to work with would be an understatement!!!! It was my pleasure and honor to do it for you! Cheers!
Amy was an absolute treasure. We are more than thankful and grateful for this fabulous woman. Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined. Everything went as perfectly as it could have and it was definitely all because of Amy. From the decor to the logistics, Amy had it down to a "T". Our only regret was not hiring her as a full planner (we hired as partial and if you have the money for it, invest in the full planning). Thank you thank you thank you to Amy and Buttercup events. The best planner in Charleston!
My daughter was married on the Ocean Course, Kiawah Island SC, this fall. Both my daughter and I live in Minnesota. After interviewing a bunch of wedding planners we chose Amy because of her positivity and openness to ideas. I met with Amy in SC five months before the wedding. After that initial meeting my daughter and Amy and I were able to plan the most perfect day imaginable, all remotely via zoom and email. Amy made us feel like our project was her only project. She was detail oriented and easily accessible. She listened and gave sage design advice. In the end everything worked out seamlessly.
I felt my daughter’s vision was so perfectly executed by Amy. Having a wedding during COVID certainly presented us with challenges that were unforeseen. Amy helped us navigate the challenges, and coordinated every constantly changing detail seamlessly. I can’t imagine not having had Amy’s calm demeanor and expertise at the helm. On the day of the wedding, all was calm, and it was all about the bride, the groom and their marriage. A wonderful experience.
Amy may be the most prepared person I have ever met. I thought I had my wedding planned before I met Amy-- I was so wrong. Amy came in and took everything to a level I couldn't even imagine. No details were overlooked or forgotten. Through a monsoon on the morning of the wedding to my bustle breaking at least 5 times on the dance floor, Amy took care of EVERYTHING. Because we hired Amy my husband, our families, and I were able to actually enjoy our wedding 100% stress free.
I loved Amy from the first phone call I had with her. I immediately loved her personality and had full faith that she would not only create the most beautiful day for us but that the day would go seamlessly in her hands. Amy exceeded everything we thought our wedding day would be. She pointed us in the direction of the best vendors and helped us create a literal "dream team". She took my vision and knocked it out of the park. Months later our friends and family are still telling us our wedding was the most elegant and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. I was so calm the morning of my wedding and I attribute it to Amy. I knew the details were in her hands and I was able to sit back and enjoy the day to the absolute fullest. Even if there were a hiccup I knew she would take care of it and I trusted her 100%. Six months later when I think of our day I think of Amy as the person that created all of the magic for us and I can never thank her enough! She will be the best decision you will make for your wedding day!!
Amy DeVito is hands down the best wedding planner that you could dream of! This woman brings a calmness and confidence to the wedding planning and day-of execution that is indescribable. She is beyond organized, wildly talented at design and genuinely wants your day to be everything you hoped for. There aren’t enough words to depict the comfort this woman brought me and my family throughout the entire process of planning and our wedding day. She literally rocks! We are so grateful to have worked with her.
Amy DeVito is Wedding Planner GOALS! Not many brides can say I would do it all over again but I can guarantee you we would do it ALL over again because of Amy and her team. It was the most beautiful day and not a single ounce of stress. Amy is such a down to earth, kind and very talented and efficient coordinator. We had to re-plan our entire wedding and move it from an entirely different country to a place that we knew very little about but thought why not it sounds and looks beautiful all within 100 days. AMY made that happen, she was organized and knowledgeable about all the vendors and details, she knew exactly how to handle each situation we brought to her. Our biggest key to a stress-free, smooth, and fun wedding was Amy. She made all our wedding dreams come true and I couldn't be more thankful to have had the best on our big day! We love Amy DeVito and Buttercup Events, thanks for everything!!

Thank you so much Jaci! You all made it so easy, thank you for being ready to roll with all the changes thrown your way. Cheers to 100 years!
Amy was the BEST wedding decision we made. She is incredibly organized, flexible, creative, and a wonderful person. She introduced me to amazing vendors, organized visits, attended every vendor meeting, and made sure everything was perfect the day of. She has an incredible talent of taking a bride’s vision and turning it into a reality that is above and beyond expectations. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. So many friends and family have told us it was of the best weddings they have ever attended and I have to give Amy all of the credit for that.
I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Amy to help us throughout our wedding planning. She has given us memories to last a lifetime and I am forever grateful that she was a part of my magical day.
I would highly recommend Amy to absolutely anyone!
Coming from a very-type-A in the industry who didn't understand needing a planner (at all - forget COVID and everything in 2020): I said many times that no one ever told me wedding planning wasn't fun...! I OWE AMY EVERYTHING. She is the best of the best as a wedding pro, but also as a person. If you read no more, this nails it: my sister got engaged a month before our wedding and, not having even met yet, hired Amy to plan hers next May. There is NO better referral.
Amy is a total rockstar. She is COOL and her job is to make your wedding yours - which is her pure talent. I swear she knew what I wanted before and better than I did (no easy feat), and still managed to totally blow us away on our wedding day. She will save your life a million times, become your other half overnight, somehow keep her cool for months on end, have your back no matter what, and make you feel like the only person/bride in her world at any given moment (insane because that is clearly not the case). She gets you and she asks questions before you even know you have them. She's there before, during and after and always has the right words - often hysterical and every time helpful.
They say to simply hire the vendors you trust. I didn't plan to give up any sort of control, but you inevitably do (do it sooner!). I can confidently say that I trusted Amy with every single move from day 1 and it paid off in dividends. She was one of the best parts of that day - and my HUSBAND agrees!
Amy saved the day per usual! My husband and I were separated in different continents by travel bans due to Covid for the duration of our engagement. Needless to say had a very complicated situation. Amy helped us throw together an intimate ceremony with our close friends and family in a matter of 3 weeks.
From the flowers to the day of set up, she put her magic touch on every detail at the wedding. We couldn't have the big celebration that we had both hoped for, but Amy helped make our last minute ceremony a night that we'll never forget.
She's on top of every detail and there as a friend/therapist throughout the entire process - long or short. Can't recommend Amy enough!

To say it was my honor and pleasure would be an understatement. Seeing you 2 together and happy was everything. Thank you for asking me to be part of what was such a special day.
Can't recommend Amy and Buttercup Events enough! When our original wedding in North Carolina crumbled due to the pandemic, we weren't sure what to do. We just knew we wanted to get married and start our lives. As we were reeling from the original plan falling apart, we started talking about where we could go with our parents, siblings and bridal party and still have a joyous celebration. We landed on Charleston - the place we got engaged.
I lived in another state and LOVED Charleston but I had never been there with the eyes of a bride so I didn't know any vendors or where to begin. I stumbled across Buttercup Events Charleston and Amy online, and within a few hours we were on the phone chatting, and minutes later I told my fiance I found our new wedding planner! We had a little over two months to pull together a new plan, and gosh I was so thankful to have Amy helping us out.
I'm a self-admitted super Type A planner, so the fact that I could relinquish my own control and trust her instantly spoke volumes. Amy instantly jumped into our new wedding plans and started picking up the pieces! Within a few days she had helped put together a great team of vendors, a vision and plan for our new wedding.
Amy was great about checking in, answering questions, getting back to me via email, text or phone, connecting with our vendors, and really giving us a peace of mind. She helped keep everything on schedule and brought to life our dreams and vision to create the most beautiful, joyous and perfect celebration of our wedding!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I loved every second of working with you both!!! Being able to jump in and pull it all together was so special, I loved the way it all turned out! So thankful that you trusted me to to do it for you!
As someone who works in the wedding industry, it is hard to let go and become a bride instead of a vendor, but Amy made that easy! She managed every aspect of the wedding and was always available to talk through plans, making the process so seamless. With her eye for design + detail, quick response rate, and fun attitude she is exactly who you would want by your side helping you to plan your special day! I cannot recommend her enough!
