Words can truly not describe how much my husband and I both adore Mandalynn. She was THE dream planner from start to finish. Each and every detail was seamlessly executed. She made sure that not only all of our thoughts and feelings were listened to, but always had multiple versatile solutions + ideas (and judgement-free comfort + reassurance) for each and every one.
As every bride knows, wedding planning is one of the most stressful times, and it was priceless to have someone who could provide such professional guidance while simultaneously providing assurance for all worry that arose. Not only was Mandalynn’s expertise on all facets of planning a wedding in Charleston incredible, but the balance of allowing us to make every decision while dynamically providing a gentle perspective ensured that we had the ABSOLUTE most perfect day. Her insight, glowing relationships, and personable demeanor with all vendors allowed for us to cultivate the true dream team. Our friends + family continue to rave about our special day weeks and weeks later, specifically complimenting Mandalynn!!
We enjoyed working so closely with Mandalynn, that the second one of our close friends got engaged, we knew we had to share her! Despite any differences in style, season, or aesthetic, we knew Mandalynn would be the perfect fit for them, as she would be for ANY couple. We will continue to sing her praises and can’t wait to see her again in December for their special day! 🤍

Mandalynn helped my husband and I plan our wedding September 2024 in Charleston and Kiawah Island! We could not recommend her more!! From the first phone call to every planning call/text/zoom in between the process of planning our wedding with her was seamless and stress free as possible considering the grand nature of the events. Mandalynn has a very calming way about her which is truly invaluable not only leading up to the wedding but especially on the day of! Our wedding involved transporting guests from Kiawah Island to Charleston and back to Kiawah and having someone who lives in the area and knows both markets so well was so so helpful. She had thoughtful and unique ideas for the design aspect and really worked with us to make our vision come to life. Mandalynn cares not only about the wedding day execution but also deeply cares about the couple and our experience on one of the most memorable and special days of our lives. I wouldnt change a thing about our wedding and Mandalynn made it all possible and more beautiful than we could have imagined. She knows all the best vendors at a variety of price points and she will 100% work with you to make it happen! She is the best!

We worked with Mandalynn as our planner for our October 2024 wedding and she is so amazing! From the first phone call she was so professional and informative, and I just felt like we clicked. Mandalynn made the wedding planning process a breeze! She has excellent vendor recommendations, kept us on track with our planning timelines, and understood the vision we wanted for our wedding perfectly! As we got closer to the wedding Mandalynn kept all of the details so organized which eased all my stress & nerves. I literally could not have done it without her. She executed our wedding weekend FLAWLESSLY from start to finish - literally nothing went wrong! It was the most beautiful day and we can’t thank Mandalynn enough for that. Working with Mandalynn was the best choice we made for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough!

Mandalynn was amazing! She made the whole process so easy. My wife and I were planning and she would just send an email out of nowhere with some random quote for something we hadn’t even thought about. We weren’t worried about missing anything because she was on top of it. For the day of it was smooth as could be. As the groom I was in charge of dropping off a bunch of stuff in the morning. The place was barren but she was there with her clipboard directing a million people. To come back and see it so beautifully put together, and transformed was amazing. Any question we had she had an answer, recommendation or assurance that she would have the answer. And she always found the answer quickly. Can’t say enough good things about her and her services!

I found Mandalynn for my March 2024 wedding in Charleston, SC at the Cedar Room. Man, did we luck out finding her. I knew we didn’t want a huge wedding but knew we didn’t want it to be too small. I booked the Cedar Room (which was a huge part of my budget) and was becoming unsure of how I’d find a wedding planner who could keep me in budget for a 100+ wedding, with all the fancy stuff included. Then, I found Mandalynn. She knew all the in & outs, she knew contacts at the Cedar Room and the other vendors. She helped me find the best vendors for linens, flowers, etc. She was there for every meeting in between, gave me the best advice and was an absolute ANGEL on the wedding day. I truly didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. She was ready, prepared, professional and had everything handled. I cannot recommend her enough!!! She listens to your needs/wants, gives her expertise and advice and knows the deep in and outs of the wedding industry. She understands that everyone has different budgets, whether that be big or small, Mandalynn will get it done, no doubt!

We had the pleasure of working with Mandalynn for our wedding in August 2024, and we truly cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was there every step of the way, going above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more.
Mandalynn took the time to get to know both of us as a couple, understanding our vision for the wedding and making sure every detail reflected our personalities and style. She made us feel truly cared for, even asking thoughtful questions like what drinks my parents enjoyed so she could ensure their glasses were always full. It was clear from the start that she was dedicated to making our guests feel just as special as we did.
Her organizational skills are unmatched. She helped coordinate with all of our vendors, making the whole planning process so much easier and less stressful. With her vast network, she offered excellent recommendations for florists, rentals, and even hair and makeup artists, all of whom were fantastic. She was always available for questions, and never once did we feel like we were bothering her—even when we had last-minute concerns!
Mandalynn’s attention to detail and ability to stay on top of deadlines kept everything on track, all while respecting our budget. On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of flawless. She had everything organized and ready to go, ensuring that the day ran smoothly and without a hitch. Her calm and attentive presence made it so that we could truly enjoy every moment, knowing we were in good hands.
We are so grateful to Mandalynn for everything she did to make our wedding day perfect. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for us and our guests were beyond impressive. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will not only meet but exceed your expectations!
