Where do I even begin?! I can’t imagine our wedding day without Cacky. She was an absolute joy to work with and such a natural fit into our family and wedding party. From the moment she arrived, I felt so held, supported, and taken care of by her. She made me feel celebrated every step of the way and allowed my mom and bridesmaids to truly enjoy the day. Cacky is beyond prepared—I swear she’s a mind reader, knowing exactly what the bride needs before she even realizes it herself. She also has an incredible ability to see you on a human level and knew just what to say when I needed it most. If you’re planning a wedding, you must hire her! She’s worth every bit of it and more.
Cacky was an absolute lifesaver. We hired her to steam our wedding attire but prior to her steaming she noticed that the tailor failed to finish my bustle. As a destination bride, this was literally overwhelming news. Although she had another appointment immediately after mine quickly problem solved, found a solution, and fixed my bustle. She is so calm, efficient, and effective. I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly a class act and I deeply appreciated her help.
I cannot recommend Cacky enough. She anticipated my every need and made everything from taking photos to bustling my dress effortless. Her attention to detail is astounding. She was not only around for anything I needed but helped my Mom and straightened a few bowties for groomsmen as well.
Our daughter lives in New York and my husband and I live in Upstate South Carolina. Planning a wedding in Charleston was quite a journey to navigate. As the Mother of the Bride, I was thrilled when our daughter chose to book Cacky’s Bride + Aid to make her wedding day flawless. Never did I imagine how invaluable Cacky would be to our daughter! She met us at the final fitting and was incredibly familiar with the bustle and other aspects of the fitting. Cacky was absolutely amazing to our daughter. Her ability to fit the wedding dress was very skillful. Her professionalism in handling all the little details while taking care of the Bride was extraordinary. No detail was overlooked!
The incredible thing was that Cacky was so wonderful to me as well. It is a big day for the Mother of the Bride and she was there for anything I needed. From ironing my dress (which could not be steamed) to sewing the belt on the junior bridesmaid’s dress when it didn’t fit, Cacky had it covered. Her ability to anticipate every need of the Bride while being so in tuned to the Mother of the Bride was absolutely incredible. Cacky made our daughter’s wedding and my Mother of the Bride experience truly special. She was a true blessing. Book her today!!

We used Catherine from Cackys Bride Aid for our Dresses/Tux steaming on Kiawah Island and it was the best decision! Cacky and Catherine are unbelievably talented, and we had an incredible experience with Cacky from the communication, planning, and wedding day timeline. Thank you again!
WORTH EVERY PENNY! I worked with Cat on my wedding day and she was an absolute life saver! She was my fairy godmother! She came right in and started steaming, she kept track of all of my things, she helped me AND my mom in and out of our gowns as needed, she made sure I ate and drank water, she repositioned and fluffed my gown at every turn and picture, she held my bouquet, she had Advil handy when my headpiece was giving me a headache, she did my bustle like a pro, and she even repaired my mother-in-law's hem right before we walked down the aisle! I cannot say enough about this company. You may think, "I don't need this kind of help, I have a bridal party". You are wrong! Your friends and your mother will be pulled in a lot of directions as well. Cat never left my side. She had my back at every moment throughout the day. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her! My mom has severe arthritis and my maid of honor was nine months pregnant - I needed a wing woman, and Cat was just above and beyond. Get yourself a fairy godmother for your big day - you will not regret it!!
I cannot recommend Cacky enough! Charleston was a destination wedding location for us, and with our entire bridal party traveling from the Boston area (and my parents driving that long distance to Charleston with my gown and the groom's tux) and I knew we would be needing dresses and tuxes steamed, but didn't realize how much I was going to need Cacky! Cacky was so easy to communicate with. She thoroughly inspected every dress and suit, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was in pristine condition on the wedding day at the venue. I initially wasn't sure if I was going to have my dress steamed and Cacky had no problem with letting me decide on the day of. While looking my dress over on the wedding day, she noticed a slight mistake that my seamstress had made which would have puckered the back of my dress a little when it was bustled and definitely would have been noticeable in pictures. She then took the time to sit and redo each bustle and made sure that my dress looked absolutely perfect. I am forever grateful to her and highly recommend hiring her for your wedding day.
10/10 recommend hiring Cacky for your wedding!!!!! We worked with Cacky at our wedding at Lowndes Grove in June and she is WONDERFUL!!!! I couldn’t imagine having our wedding without her!!! She steamed all of my bridesmaids dresses and my wedding gown while I was getting ready and then fixed part of the zipper on my dress that was poking me, sewed back on a piece of lace that had fallen loose, and made taking wedding portraits with my hubby a breeze (she held my dress while I walked so it wouldn’t drag in the dirt, held my veil to get some beautiful pictures of it blowing in the wind, and helped us stay hydrated by bringing water along while we took all of our photos in the hot June heat.) To say she does it all is an understatement and she is SO sweet and bubbly and fun and truly made my wedding day that much sweeter!!! I am so happy we choose to work with Cacky!!!!!
I found Cackys Bride Aid on Instagram and all of the great reviews that hiring her team is the best decision you can make. I can confirm this was one if not the BEST decisions to reach out to Cacky. Thankfully her partner Catherine was available for my wedding. Cat spent almost the whole day with us - steaming my gown, my moms, grooms tuxes, bridesmaid gowns. She must have saved the day a hundred times! She quickly sewed the back of my earring that popped off, pin my gown so I could dance better, sticky taped my sleeves and my bridesmaids’ dresses, and helped us zip dresses like it was nothing. Cat was by my side the whole day and I never had to worry about a single thing! Cacky and her team are worth every single penny. All of my bridesmaids were in awe and could not believe an amazing vendor like this existed. Cat was the absolute best and immediately put me at ease! I knew nothing could go wrong with her and it was the best feeling to just relax and take in the day and not have to worry about anything. Cat coordinated with my wedding planner flawlessly and you could tell how much she enjoys this! I don’t think Cat sat down once and she had a smile on her face the whole time!
My fairy godmother. Cacky is HANDS DOWN one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I didn't realize how much I needed her until that day. She is a true professional and is beyond talented. She's your right hand woman and is there for ALL your wedding needs. From steaming dresses, to hems, to making sure you're hydrated/eating, to holding your train, to helping you go to the bathroom in your wedding dress, to bustling, to making last minute adjustments to your dress because you just had to wear shoes with rhinestones (oops) - I mean she is literally superwoman. The best part is that I feel like I have known her my entire life. I genuinely love her and don't know what I would have done without her on my wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough. Book her right now.. you NEED her. Trust me on this one.
I'm so thankful to have hired Cackey's Bride + Aid to assist me on my wedding day! She not only steamed my bridesmaid dresses and mine but came well prepared for all of our alteration and shoe comfort needs!!
Cacky came to help steam my wedding dress the day before my wedding and was so sweet that she even went through our closet and steamed several other items for myself and my groom (not even asking for anything additional in doing so)! I so appreciated her help and coming to our hotel room to make this happen. Since we traveled from out of town, it was so great to have my dress looking the best it could and Cacky helped make that happen!
I found Cacky through my wedding planners (Pure Luxe Bride). I knew Cacky was going to be involved in getting everyone ready on the wedding day, but I was beyond impressed with how attentive Cacky was towards me and making sure I was ready. She stayed by my side the entire time I was getting ready and through our first look pictures and up to the start of the ceremony. She was beyond fantastic and took really good care of me.
As a bonus, Cacky will also preserve your dress, which made it so easy to get this taken care of right away after the wedding.
I was so nervous to have a destination wedding so it was really important that we had someone the day of to help with steaming, emergency alterations, and helping me get into my complicated but very beautiful wedding gown. In the morning I was feeling a little stressed and Cacky was so amazing that she gave me the BEST shoulder massage! She was able to get rid of my stress headache and really helped me feel at ease. She was very careful with our dresses, my bridesmaid robes, and my dress and veil. She also steamed the ribbons that we used to "Tie the Knot". I couldn't have made it through the morning without her and we are all very thankful that she was there! If you're getting married in Charleston I HIGHLY recommend hiring her and having her spend the morning with you!! She is incredibly sweet, patient, calm, and has such bright energy about her!!
Cacky is amazing !
I wished I had spend more time with her on the day !
I had her for my dress steam and my 7meters veil !
She had everything ready for me when I arrived and get me dressed.
She fixed the belt of my dress that needed a quick touch-up.
I highly recommend using her ! You need a perfectly steamed dress for your big day - don't pass on this one !
Cacky is so sweet! She came the day before our wedding on Folly Beach to steam my wedding dress. I had packed it in my carry-on suitcase for our flight from Kansas City to Charleston, and it was definitely in need of some TLC! Cacky was able to prep it and make it picture perfect for our wedding day!
Wow! She's awesome! Definitely worth it. At first, I thought the price was outrageous. However, you don't realize (especially with out of town weddings) the little stuff that needs steaming last minute. She's super sweet. She came to our bridal suite and, honestly, I kind of forgot she was there so no need to worry about it getting in the way of your pre-wedding festivities. She also incredibly thorough!
Cacky was absolutely wonderful! She is kind, friendly, and happy. Cacky helped me feel at ease from the moment she arrived to the moment she smoothed my train out right before I walked down the aisle. She does everything for your from steaming your dress to giving you a wonderful foot message just minutes before you say "I do"! I will recommend her to all of my friends for their weddings. Because of Cacky, my dress remained spotless for the entire ceremony.
I hired Cacky at the suggestion of my wedding planner and to be honest I was initially somewhat skeptical about whether it was a necessary expense, especially since I wasn't sure there would be enough for Cacky to do - I already had someone coming to do my hair and makeup, had bridesmaids to help with the dress, etc. I could not have been more wrong. Cacky was AMAZING! She helped me figure out how to modify my hairstyle after I questioned the initial look, fixed the bridesmaids' dresses after someone's hem came loose or the sides were puckering, tied all of the bow ties for the groomsmen, hemmed my uncle's pants, helped place my dress for photos and was there fixing my dress and veil just as I was about to walk down the aisle. I could not (and would not want to!) imagine not having Cacky there. On top of all of this, Cacky is a wonderful person. Warm, friendly and good humored, she was so much fun to have around. There are many expenses for a wedding and while I may not remember things like the dessert buffet many years down the road, I will always remember Cacky's kind and helpful nature. Thank you Cacky!
My mother-in-law gifted Cacky to me for my wedding as a birthday present. I was not completely sure what all she would do, but, boy, was I blown away. Cacky came to the church early to steam my dress, my going away dress and my bridesmaids' dresses. She helped with a few spots on my girls' dresses. She came with me during the first look to ensure that the dress was still in perfect condition. She even took some of the wedding pictures because my photographer is a dear friend and I wanted her to jump in some of the pictures. About 30 minutes before the wedding ceremony Cacky sewed a new button on my dress to make the bussle the perfect length. Not only did Cacky take care of my dress, but she constantly made sure that I was doing alright. She gave me a foot massage to calm any nerves before walking down the aisle. About a week after the wedding I dropped my dress off for her to spot clean some of the stains on the bottom... in just two days my dress looks as if I had not even worn it! Honestly, what didn't Cacky do? She was absolutely amazing, and I strongly encourage every bride to hire Cacky for the day. The only problem is that I can't have her everyday!
I LOVE YOU CACKY! :)
Cacky is "Must Have" for your wedding day! She is truly a Bride Life Saver! Cacky will handle your wedding day from the smallest of details to the emotional walk down the aisle. Cacky is a true professional that stays by her Brides side with such a personal touch. She was there for my daughter to help her with dress, shoes, pictures, running interference with family and was just the "go to girl". It seemed that Cacky could read my daughters mind and it was done almost before she was asked. Just an awesome stress free environment that she provides.
My daughters wedding day was the most beautiful and wonderful day of her life - we have Cacky to thank for that experience!
Cacky is unbelievable! I cannot describe how much I enjoyed working with her and how glad I was to have her with me on my wedding day.
Cacky did everything from helping me get into my gown to being an emotional savior. My dress had extremely delicate beading that tore early on and Cacky was right there to fix it like it was no big deal. When my veil was annoying me, she could tell instantly I wanted it off and just seemed to magically appear to assist. Cacky even served as a buffer between me and my in-laws as well as my bridesmaids when I needed a little "me time." Her calm demeanor kept me calm and I felt as though I had a dear friend beside me.
I literally could not have imagined my day without Cacky! I cannot recommend Cacky's Bride + Aid enough. I promise you won't be disappointed if you have her as part of your special day.
Cacky is fantastic. I didn't hire a wedding planner because I had my reception at the Francis Marion Hotel and their banquet manager - took care of all those details. I hired Cacky to help me with my dress, my schedule the day of the wedding, my ceremony rehearsal, and my wedding ceremony. She is a life saver!
I'm so glad that I met with her a few days before my wedding because she helped do a few quick things that helped the front of my dress. She can do some quick things with her needle and thread. She helped run my ceremony rehearsal and the ceremony (to get everyone down the aisle). Cacky was also great to help out with all the posed pictures right after the wedding to keep them moving along and getting my dress bustled as well.
Cacky can do anything and I'm convinced that she's got everything in the apron she wears. Hire her and you won't be disappointed.
