I cannot recommend Caroline and her team enough! She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and listened to everything we wanted, while giving us great suggestions as well. From communicating with all of the vendors and making s...
ure the timeline of events kept on track, to chasing off dogs that were getting too close while we were taking sunset photos... these girls do it all. Everything on the day of the wedding was perfectly executed and we felt so relaxed the whole day. If you want a reliable planner who creates a stress free environment you HAVE to hire Goldbug Events!

Thank you Carson for sharing this wonderful review! We enjoyed every moment working with you and your family. Congratulations!
Caroline was incredibly kind, patient, and organized throughout the wedding planning process! She has great attention to detail. We had bad weather in the forecast on our wedding day (which was outdoors) and she helped us create a great rain pl...
an so that our guests (almost 200 of them) stayed dry and happy all evening! Through all the last minute changes that came up she remained accommodating and gracious. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything. From making sure we were sticking to the timeline to making sure my husband and I had a chance to eat/drink in the midst of the wedding chaos, she had it all under control. I would definitely recommend Goldbug Events to any bride in the Charleston area. Thank you so much Caroline!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our future clients! We are so happy to have been able to exceed your expectations! Your wedding was beautiful, despite the unexpected Charleston weather!
Our son and daughter in-law used Caroline and her team for their wedding in February 2023 and the entire Goldbug Events’ team was simply incredible! Every detail was perfect from the planning and coordination to the rehearsal, the ceremony and...
the reception! They kept everything completely organized and on schedule with a happy, calm attitude which was no easy task for a wedding 200+ people and all the associated vendors! I can’t even begin to list all the things they thought of along the way to make sure Logan and Jillian’s day was perfect. As the mother of the groom I was so impressed how they checked on me repeatedly throughout the festivities. The attention to detail and and positivity through out the process and for the entire wedding weekend was second to none! I would not hesitate to recommend them for any event large or small!

We enjoyed every moment working with you Lisa! Thank you for taking the time to write this sweet review!
Caroline was hired for our "day of coordinator." For the months before the wedding, she communicated well and was kept up to date. We met for our "walk thru" and I knew that we were in great hands for our wedding. She was personable, confide...
nt, reliable and very affordable. I was able to relax the entire day, knowing everything was in her hands. She followed all of our instructions. The set up of the chapel and the venue for the reception were absolutely perfect. In addition, she packed up everything nicely for my brother and sister-in-law to return to us the next day. I highly recommend Caroline for a coordinator. I appreciate her dedication to provide us w/ lasting memories of our special day.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We appreciate your business and are so happy to have been able to meet your needs and provide assistance on your special day!
Caroline and Goldbug Events as a whole were absolutely incredible from the beginning of our planning process with them through the wedding day (and even days after!). I had an unfortunate situation with a previous wedding planner, and Caroline ...
was able to step in with 60 days to go and fully re-plan my 200+ person wedding, solve all the problems that my prior planner caused, and SOMEHOW keep me as calm and as un-stressed as possible. Caroline has an incredible attention to detail and is one of the most organized and kind people I’ve ever met. She knows the ins and outs of wedding planning, and will go above and beyond to ensure that your day is exactly as you want it. If you’re on the fence about hiring Goldbug events, DO IT. You will not regret it and you will have an amazing wedding planning experience. On the day of, everything was executed perfectly, it was exactly as I had always hoped and envisioned, and we had zero stress because we knew everything was handled. We have absolutely zero regrets and are so happy we hired Caroline to put on the most perfect wedding day.

lawlessly executed with the utmost professionalism. Your thoughtful and creative planning really made this event a huge success, and I know that the bride and groom had a blast!

Thank you for taking the time to share such a nice review! I enjoyed getting to know you and am so glad to hear you and your daughter were pleased with Goldbug Events' services!
Goldbug Events founder Caroline is honestly a gift from above. She’s been a huge anchor in my wedding planning journey and I couldn’t thank her more. She’s attentive, quick on her feet and has help put out little fires before they become big ...
ones. Anytime something has started to go wrong she’s available for a call or text and has fixed it and calmed me down in a heartbeat. I know that my wedding day will go off with no issues because of her and if there are, I won’t know because she’ll handle it! I wouldn’t trust any other company with my big day!

Dominique, you are so sweet! We are so excited for your wedding day, and are so grateful to be working with you :) Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review!
Caroline and Carolines amazing assistant( I like to call her Caroline 2.0😂) couldn’t have been more amazing to not only my husband and I but our bridal party, family and friends. I didn’t get the pleasure of working with Caroline until about 5...
months before my actual wedding due to some issues within the company I was with and, even though she had to get to know me, my style, every contract I already had signed and no way of going back on, my lovely but crazy family and friends, she still got everything and more done for me in that short amount of time. She excelled and definitely made it not only my husband and I, but all of our friends and family the best night of our lives! Brides do yourself a favor and meet this incredible human, I promise you won’t regret it. She’s beautiful on the inside and out and knows to how to be stern in situations where she needs to be (especially with my crazy bridal party🤣), a huge advocate for her clients and their wants and needs, but most importantly she helps you to remember that even though it’s such a stressful day to enjoy it and to remember to take time for ourselves as newly weds because it does fly by very quickly. I will rave about her till I can’t anymore!

Reviews like these make my heart so happy! Thank you for sharing Chris! I can't express how much I enjoyed getting to know you and Kasey over the past year. Being a part of your wedding was an honor!
Caroline was fantastic! Our day was totally magical and we couldn’t have done it without her. Caroline helped us plan our wedding from afar, taking on extra responsibilities for us, as we were coming from out of state. We didn’t even see our ve...
nue until the day of our rehearsal (besides a video chat tour), but she kept us informed and reassured every step of the way.
Caroline is energetic, organized, and full of great ideas/helpful tips (especially for brides on a budget). She was able to make our vision come to life and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Bonus: our friends and family all loved her. She was friendly and sweet but also direct and able to take control and make things happen when they needed to. It was all very impressive! 100% recommend Caroline for all your wedding planning needs. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review Alyssa!! I am soo glad that I was able to exceed your expectations. Being creative is one of my favorite parts :)
P.S. I loved your family and friends too!!!
Planning an out-of-state wedding is not easy, but Caroline helped ensure all details were ready to go and ensured the wedding day, as well as the couple of weeks leading up to the day, we’re seamless and stress-free! She was always mindful of o...
ur vision for the day and in our planning, even asked about our fears or specific stressors so that she could be mindful of those as well. Overall, she helped make our day so beautiful and I’m so thankful we found her.

Mary Grace you could not have made us feel better! Thank you! This is exactly our goal when we are trusted with such a special day! I am so glad to have helped and wish you all the best!
Caroline was very professional and organized from the first meeting we had . After my daughter had plan and worked on all the details we met one more time before the date . At our last meeting she went over the days timeline and all the detai...
ls . The details included getting the 24 people in the bridal party where they were suppose to be . She was very good at the setting up the venue , from the tables to all the flowers . She did a great job on receiving the cake from the girl who baked it and decorated it just how we wanted it. She also oversaw the caterers and bar staff and directed them to what their jobs were to be and where to set up . The. Reception ran like clock work , so that my husband and I were able to be great hosts ! We were able to enjoy the day and all the fond memories of our daughters wedding .
After we sent the bride and groom off Caroline started her clean up and break down of the venue . She worked very hard to get it cleaned and all of our accessories, flowers and the gifts we’re all placed in our cars to take back home.
She led the DJ with her time line and they together kept the flow of the reception going .

Thank you for taking the time to write Goldbug Events a review! It means so much! I can't wait for your wedding!
Caroline with Goldbug Events was exactly what we needed and didn’t even realize we needed to make our day flawless! She set both of us at ease, never let a moment go by where we didn’t know what was going on, and executed the day perfectly! Lea...
ding up to the day she guided us to make the best decisions and handled all the last minute details. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and knew she had it covered! On the day of, our baker didn’t show up with our cake!! Caroline, with her ability to stay positive and think on her feet, saved the day by pulling some strings, getting a replacement and decorating it. I had no idea until after, because it looked so beautiful! Words cannot express how much Caroline and Goldbug Events added to our best day ever!!

Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review Jenn! I had so much fun at your wedding! The cake situation was definitely not ideal, but I’m glad that my solution made up for it! We of course we’re not going to let that mess up your day! You a...
nd Mike were the best clients to work for and it was such a pleasure getting to know you both!
Caroline was absolutely amazing to work with! Very prompt and professional. We had a smaller / more intimate wedding so we went with the beetle day of coordination package and it was perfect for what we needed. She went above and beyond for us ...
and was extremely helpful. Her “decor closet” had anything and everything we could’ve wanted - all included in the package price! Saved us a lot of time searching around for things like signage and table decor.
Goldbug truly exceeded all expectations.

olute honor to be a part of this one. Cheers!
Caroline was absolutely fantastic! I have been in meeting/event planning for many years so I would never have gotten a planner on my own but LUCKILY I was required to have a day-of planner at Merchants Hall. I say luckily because I had no ide...
a how valuable she could be! She was so organized and took things off my plate so that I could enjoy the day. She handled everything the day-of and I had not one worry in the world. She also helped greatly with wrapping -up the last minute planning which is always the most difficult, communicating with all vendors, creating an outstanding timeline. I did not receive one call on the day of my wedding from any vendors... pretty impressive! Caroline has a gentle, clam, reassuring demeanor that makes you feel comfortable and safe in trusting her with your biggest day. I had a very quick flip of the room and she did an amazing, seamless job of making that work! I would not only recommend her but tell you to contact her right away!!
