Eventfully Chic by Parris

Parris was the best day of coordinator! She was very organized and gave great direction on what needed to get done. She also deals very well with sticking to your plan and not letting anyone deviate from that plan, family included! It is you and your husband's day and she will honor that!

Parris did a great job helping us plan our slightly nontraditional wedding! We chose the partial planning option, so we didn't start actively working with her until closer to the wedding, but even before that she was always available by email and was happy to apply her expertise to any question we had, no matter how small. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was great and helped us to craft the perfect timeline for the wedding day and made sure all the details were accounted for. Our wedding day went perfectly! She kept the ceremony running smoothly and was right there if we needed anything from organizing the procesional to helping put on my dress. She and her assistants took care of every detail at the reception. I did not have to worry about a thing. Everything I needed was anticipated and any request we had was immediately taken care of.

Parris went above and beyond in planning our wedding! It was a beautiful day, all thanks to her. Her attention to detail, effective communication, and organization made the planning process so easy and smooth. I’d recommend her to anyone getting married or planning an event! You won’t be disappointed.

Where to even start with all of the amazing things about Parris. From the beginning of our planning process, Parris provided her expertise and advice to help us execute our vision for our wedding. Her budgeting help, planning tools and constant communication are a must for any bride planning their wedding! The vendors she recommended were incredible and made our wedding weekend perfect! We would not have had the phenomenal wedding that we will remember forever without the help of Parris and her team.

Parris was so easy to work with. She handled all last minute issues easily and worked well with the vendors. Her coordination prior to was phenomenal. I am a retired wedding planner and highly recommend her.

Parris was fantastic! From start to finish Parris handled all the details, making sure that everything was taken care of. This allowed my bride and I to enjoy our special day. She handled vendor relations with ease. Parris has many connections in town and uses them to your benefit. I would recommend Parris and her services to friends and family.

From day one, Parris put me at ease about our wedding day. Her experience and knowledge is so invaluable throughout all steps of planning. At one point, I was nervous about a choice I made with decor and she suggested an alternative that was so perfect it was like she picked it out of my brain. Parris knew all of the best prices and deals around Columbia which helped tremendously to try and stay in budget but still achieve our vision. She responded to all of my random texts and emails when I had questions or needed anything promptly and kindly. I couldn't have imagined our big day without Parris and her team! They handled every single detail to ensure that everyone had a fantastic night. I'm so glad I hired Parris and highly highly highly recommend her to any couple looking for extra help planning their big day!

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect from start to finish, and Parris was to thank for much of this. We went with Parris’s partial wedding planning package, as we had already begun selecting our vendors before we brought her into the mix. We knew planning a wedding in Columbia from out of state would be a challenging task, but she made it all very seamless for us with useful feedback along the way. When it came to the day of our wedding, she effectively coordinated all of our vendors and everything went off without a hitch. We provided many of our own decorations that we brought to the venue with us, and were very impressed with the way she and her team put everything together so beautifully. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will make your wedding day less stressful, Parris is a great choice. We were truly able to enjoy our entire day without having to worry about much. We have gotten so many compliments about our wedding and couldn’t be more thankful to Parris and her team for a job well done!

Parris made my dream wedding come together! I have known Parris for over a decade and it was great having a long time friend plan our wedding. She had amazing suggestions for all of the vendors, and they all did such a wonderful and professional job. I wanted to throw a giant party and Parris made it happen. My friends danced the entire night and I cannot wait to see the pictures and videos from the evening. I get stressed very easily, but Parris runs a tight ship and I never had to worry about a single detail. I’m still living in a blissful state since that night, and I would recommend Parris and her amazing team to any bride.

The perfect wedding in all the ways. From start to finish the wedding planning to the wedding was just amazing. Parris did a fantastic job with coordinating all the vendors and setting up a great lead up to and day of wedding itinerary. If your looking for the best SC has to offer look no farther it's Parris.

Parris was everything we hoped for in a wedding planner. She was communicative and helpful and when the day came she made everything so much easier! She dealt with a last minute crisis quickly and reassured us the whole time. We can’t recommend Parris enough for anyone planning a wedding or any other event.

Parris was a miracle worker! We hired her for full wedding planning of our December wedding. We lived in Boston during most of the planning for a Columbia, SC wedding (so that came with its own challenges). I always felt so calm and relaxed during the process because Parris was so organized and on top of everything for us! She helped us to find vendors that had the best prices, ran some errands for us, and allowed me to ship decorations to her house. The biggest challenge we faced was our bakery backing out on us just a few days before the wedding; Parris pulled off a miracle and had another baker ready to fulfill our order within the hour!!! On the day of our wedding I did not have to lift a finger because she was took care of everything! All of the logistics and timelines, and coordinating with the vendors. I would recommend Parris to anyone planning any big event! We are so grateful!

Parris did an amazing job on my daughter’s wedding. She made it organized, stress free and perfect! Highly recommend!

Parris did an amazing job coordinating our wedding and we highly recommend her! During the wedding rehearsal Parris did a wonderful job ensuring that everyone in our bridal party knew exactly what to expect the next day and was there to answer any and all questions that we had. Even more, Parris' developed a five page timeline that she shared with all vendors as well as the bridal party which I think speaks in and of itself to her attention to detail and planning capabilities. Parris' day of skills are unmatched - she made sure everything ran extremely smoothly (our guests said they have never been to a wedding that didn't have any hiccups - we owe it to Parris!) and was always there in case we needed anything at all. She even went above and beyond before her arrival on-site to check-in and see if I needed anything and brought along recycling signs for the bridal suites (which was a very thoughtful gesture since that is one of my passions which she helped us work with the venue to accommodate). At the end of the night Parris and her assistant, Jennifer (who was also fabulous), had everything packed and ready to go so that we could have a seamless sendoff and so that our designate end of night helpers (thanks moms!) could simply drive away. For a wedding planner and coordinator - you are going to want someone who is a perfectionist, listens to and advocates for your vision, and perfectly executes that vision on the day. Parris is your girl for all of the above! Parris is professional, extremely kind, has a very calming presence (which you will be extremely thankful for day of) and will always be in your corner through the planning process - we can't thank and recommend her enough for her wonderful services and helping make our wedding dreams and visions a reality.

Bride Parris was a wonderful wedding planner. We hired her late in the process, about two months prior to our wedding. We had a big vision, however, we had no clue how to execute it. Paris saved the day. She found vendors, created a plan, and executed the whole thing. Her attention to detail, connections and the industry, and organizational skills made our wedding beautiful. On the wedding day, I felt well cared for. She brought me coffee, feminine products, ect to make sure I had no worries. She helped smooth over the family drama that popped up the weed of the wedding. We are very thankful for her and the only thing we would have done differently is hiring her sooner. For those not wanting to hire a wedding planner to save money, it is worth every dollar and in the long run, will help you save on your wedding. Groom We were both working full time and wanted a beautiful wedding, but did not have the time to pull it off. Parris was always available to answer questions and execute our vision. I am an artist and have very high standards when it comes to weddings and events. Many of our guests said that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. Thank you Parris for your help.

Parris was incredibly responsive to every single one of our inquiries and went above and beyond our expectations. I initially thought that we didn't need a wedding planner, but working with Parris showed me there's a lot of things that I would have never thought about, and I'm glad we found her! Our wedding planning and our wedding day went incredibly smooth thanks to her, and I truly can't thank her enough!

Parris is the best of the best! She’s professional, extremely organized, dependable, and is always team Bride & Groom. Parris loves what she does, and it shows through her work. When my husband and I were searching for a wedding planner we came across many individuals and agencies with large portfolios but one thing I noticed was that almost every wedding planner’s wedding designs looked the same for all their clients. It seemed as if it was the wedding planner’s wedding and not the bride and groom’s wedding. Parris was different. What made Parris stand out for me was how creative and tailored her weddings were to her clients. And she did not disappoint! She helped us find the right vendors to fit our vision and made that vision come true with her overall design. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and stress-free; everything that I wanted! She’s one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. Parris worked with us throughout her entire pregnancy and was always on point. She kept in touch, kept us on schedule and updated with wedding details, and helped hold us accountable regarding our budget. To future brides: Your wedding planner will be your second set of eyes, ears, and mouth. Do yourself a favor and hire an experienced person with a great personality who will listen to your wants/needs and then work fervently on your behalf. Parris is THAT wedding planner. I would recommend no one other than her. She has become family to us 😊

I am so thankful that I chose Parris to be my wedding coordinator!! I reached out to her and said I was looking for a wedding coordinator. She emailed me back within 5 minutes and we had already planned a time to meet up and also enjoy some wine 🍷 We had originally planned our wedding date for May 2nd of 2020. Unfortunately due to the virus, we were forced to push it back to November 14th. I was an emotional wreck during this time and Parris stepped in to help in any way she could and assured me that she was going to make this work. We decided a week before to do a small ceremony on May 2nd with just our family and Parris dropped everything she was doing to help make sure that everything went smoothly. Not only is Parris a phenomenal planner, but she has also been someone that listens to all your problems that you face while planning a wedding! I turn to her for a lot of advice during this stressful time and I always feel better once I talk to her. If I did one thing correctly during this whole process, it’s reaching out to her in the beginning!

It was simply amazing working with Parris and having her as my Wedding Coordinator. She worked hard and strong to bring my vision to life and make my wedding amazing. Through all the changes she kept a positive attitude and kept me on task. Parris has a creditable working relationship with the Vendors abd and she's very knowledgeable in her craft. Thank you Eventfully Chic by Parris and your team for making it all come together. The decor of the venue was simply beautiful!!!

There are select moments in life that are meant to be lived in and not stressed about. Hiring Parris was hands down the best decision that was made for our wedding. From the very beginning she made me feel so comfortable and balanced, the lack of stress I felt was astonishing. Her etiquette and attention to detail was impeccable. Not only did she relieve most of my stress, she treated me like a true friend which made dealing with the ups and downs so much easier. Our wedding day was entirely flawless and I had never been so relaxed in such a stressful moment. I was able to enjoy my day the way any bride should, and I only hope that other brides are fortunate enough to experience having Parris as their wedding planner. I will recommend Parris and her team over and over.

Parris was absolutely amazing. From the time we started talking at our first meeting to the day of the wedding I had full confidence in her. She made our wedding experience so stress free and everything went so smoothly! She knows what she's doing! If you're contemplating on whether to hire a wedding planner or not, trust me, you need to, and Parris is the best!!

Well there are not enough words to say how amazing and detail oriented Parris and her team are. Our wedding was perfect because she helped me plan and organize everything. She cares so much and has you and your husband's back all day. If you forgot it she has it and no problem is too big or too small for her to handle. You will never regret having Parris and her team if you do not hire her you are crazy. ❤️

Parris was amazing and helped me plan & organize my wedding from 2,000 miles away!!! She followed up with me, provided me with checklists, continued to stay in contact to make sure I didn't miss anything, and provided tips from her personal experience to help me each step along the way (did I mention she did this from across the country?!) While at the wedding she also organized & directed the Cake Cutting, Bouquet Toss, Garter Toss, & bridesmaid photos/poses. She made sure nothing was left out that I would regret not having later when my mind was actually working again lol. 10/10 RECOMMEND!!!

If I could leave a million stars, I would. Parris did an absolutely incredible job assisting, setting up, & being there for us through the scaries of wedding planning & the big day. She is the most organized person I have ever met; calming, structured, kind, and she knows what she is doing. She is very responsive & on top of her game when it comes to finding your style, working with your budget, finding affordable vendors, and much more. She always had great recommendations & knew the perfect way to make it happen if something wasn't available or had to jump through hoops to get it. We are blown away at how smooth everything went up until the wedding day AND on our wedding day. I would highly, highly recommend her & her team if you want your wedding to go perfect.

I have never been married before and the only parties I have ever planned was kids birthday parties! The stress of a wedding is so unbearable, no one knows what goes into it they just see the final product. Parris is god sent!!!! She opened my eyes to so many things that I wish I would have followed what she said but I wanted the dream wedding lol. Her time management is top tier to say the least. She will keep you on track with everything. i lover her professionalism! TRUST WHAT SHE TELLS YOU!!! I would recommend her to any and everyone. she has years of experience and has a wonderful network of vendors. Bottom line. You can still have a beautiful wedding without all the headaches and stress, and Parris can guide you in that direction.

Parris was so professional and on top of her game that I never once worried about a single detail for my big day! She took such special care to make sure we had an amazing time. It doesn't stop there. After the big day Parris has put together a list of what to do with name changes and all that sort of stuff. I would choose her again and again!

Parris was a wonderful planner!! I was overseas when my then fiancée and I first came to Parris and she never missed a beat. She was very accommodating via zoom calls. When I got home, it was no different. Parris’ insight into and her eye for weddings really helped our wedding day run smoothly! She was always professional, kept up with the details and very flexible with last minute changes. I would recommend Parris to anyone looking for a wedding planner for their big day. You will not be disappointed in the least!

Parris helped us plan our perfect day! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND, provided amazing recommendations, and always always so responsive. She is very talented and has a great network of vendors. She made my day go by smoothly and took care of every detail. She made wedding planning and our wedding day a dream

Parris planned an amazing bachelorette weekend for my newly engaged best friend! She arranged everything from breakfast, spa day to a spooky activity at The Haunted Old City Jail in Charleston, SC (my BFF loves scary things)! If you want to just sit back and let the plans come to you, Eventfully Chic by Parris is definitely the way to go!
