Carolina Occasions Planning LLC

Hanan is, hands down, the best person in the world!! She is more than a coordinator, planner, decorator, florist, and baker. She is there for all your needs...including being that ear you need or that shoulder to lean on. Having and planning a wedding is one of the most stressful yet happiest moments of your life, but even more so when it's a destination wedding. I hired Hanan without even meeting her except on the phone. I put all my trust in her to plan, decorate, and coordinate my wedding based on her photos, online reviews and our conversation we had on the phone. Hanan went above and beyond my expectations. My guests are still talking about how beautifully decorated the reception was. Hanan is very knowledgeable about contracts for weddings/vendors and will help review them with you. Hanan is very good at keeping in touch with you throughout the process and is patient with you if it takes quite a bit for you to get back to her (as in my case as I'm a busy mom/nurse). She was able to direct my vendors, had a good rapport with them, and everything operated like a well oiled machine. Hanan still reaches out to me (almost a month later) to remind me of my beautiful day! If I could change one thing, I wish I would have hired Hanan sooner because I think I would've avoided unneeded stress! Hanan holds a special place in my heart and always will!

Planning a wedding comes with a whirlwind of emotions! As couples we are feeling very in love, the happiness, the excitement, but we 100% cannot forget about the STRESS. Due to Covid, Heather was with my husband and I for a solid two years. I cannot begin to describe how wonderful working with her was. To my new brides, whenever you book vendors for your big day, you are essentially “investing” in your wedding. An investment that you should absolutely consider is hiring a wedding planner. I cannot stress enough how much LESS STRESS you’ll forgo by having a “go-to” for all things wedding related. In Charleston we can predict the heat, the rain (sometimes), and hurricanes but as a bride what I could not predict was a pandemic and what that meant for our July 2020 wedding. Once we figured out that Covid was here to stay, we made the difficult decision to postpone. Heather contacted all our vendors, and we easily transitioned our wedding day to one year later in July 2021. What drew me to Heather was the fact that she lost her mother to breast cancer the same age as I did. We both shared a special bond with our mothers, and it was difficult knowing that my mom would not be there to experience our special day. It was what my heart needed to have someone there as a shoulder to lean on, who knew how it felt to not have a loved one there for a day as monumental as your wedding day. I am so thankful that Heather took us on as a couple and I will forever cherish her friendship. I cherished her even more so when I also lost my father unexpectedly 6 months before our wedding. Heather helped me through this tragic loss and made sure everything ran smoothly before and on the day of our wedding. She transformed our venue into exactly how I imagined it, and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day except marrying my best friend. Heather was more of a friend to me than just a vendor, I truly couldn’t have gotten married without her. If you as an engaged couple are looking for a wedding planner, please do yourself a HUGE favor and reach out to Heather with Carolina Occasions. It will be one of the best decisions you will ever make!

I feel so lucky to have met Hanan! From our first wedding planning meeting to my wedding day, Hanan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was my wedding planner, florist, decorator, and made delicious and beautiful cookie favors for our guests! I also now consider her a great friend 🤍 My wedding day went so smoothly, every step of the way was so effortless. Hanan took my vision and truly brought it to life! It was the perfect day and it is all thanks to her! If you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator who can wear many hats, you have found your perfect match! Aside from being the best wedding planner, she created amazing floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnières, corsages and centerpieces, each arrangement more beautiful than the next! Her cakes, cookies, and sweet treats are always delicious! Thank you Hanan! You are the absolute best. I would recommend Hanan for any event planning, she is amazing!

Hannah initial consultation with me as a bride made me feel an instant connection with her. At that moment I knew she was going to make my bouquet and every other bouquet what I wanted. Hannah’s stated to me which still sticks in my head, “I want to focus on your bouquet the most because your the bride and your who everyone is focusing on.” This meant a lot. Hannah is sweet, kind and very professional. Her work is Phenomenal. My bouquet exceeded my expectations. My bridesmaids bouquet ‘s were beautiful. Boutonnieres, Wristlets turned out just as beautiful. If there were more than five stars I would give Hannah more. Thank you for making my day extra beautiful with all my flowers.💐🌷🌹🥀🌺🌸🌼

Amazing!! Hanan listened to everything that I wanted for my husbands groomsmen cake and much more. She executed what I was looking for in my Harry Potter cake. She did so well that my husband was so surprised he almost started to cry!! The detail was beautiful and the flavor was to die for!
