Meredith Tanton Events

zing. Every detail from large to small were taken care of with such care and all our questions and concerns were handled with the utmost regard. We were in the best of hands….. I was one lucky mother of the bride….. all the thanks goes to Meredith and her fabulous staff and Sweetgrass Social . We have beautiful memories to last a lifetime!!

nt and patient! Communication and help keeping us on track with decisions were high priorities and they exceeded all expectations! They guided us through an incredible wedding day one day after hurricane Ian hit with the utmost professionalism, grace, hard work and kindness! It was a joy working with Meredith and Carolyn on a personal level and they are number #1 in our book. Highly recommend!

g at Middleton Place. Samantha is so sweet, patient, and persistent! We are from Charlotte, so Charleston was a destination wedding for us. It was wonderful to have someone there that was so familiar with the area. We did not make things easy for her either lol. We had THREE different wedding dates between the years of 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 postponements. Through these postponements she reached out to every single vendor to discuss next available dates and also helped negotiate some terms with some of them. We were supposed to get married May 2020. When COVID-19 hit and postponed our wedding, this was the very moment I had never been so thankful to have a wedding planner! Planning a wedding (or basically 3 weddings with the different dates lol) was very challenging and overwhelming to say the least. I admit, I am a pretty anxious/high strung person in general so this was not helpful. Samantha remained SO calm and helped us navigate all of this with ease. She was so patient with us each time we had to make a decision and never pushed us towards a decision we were not happy with. She took care of so many things for us before, during, and even after our wedding. We are so grateful for all that Samantha and the Sweetgrass team did for us throughout our planning process!

wedding was incredible - exactly the look I was going for and more beautiful than I had even imagined. Our guests raved! We recommend them without hesitation.

by the end. They were responsive, creative, and accommodating. They worked so hard to make my wedding exactly how I wanted it- I can't think of a single thing that they couldn't get done for me. On the day of the wedding, they handled everything- I could just enjoy the day and not have to worry because I knew they were on top of it. Anytime I needed something, they were right there. If you are looking for a planner in Charleston, this is the way to go!

was so important.. the wedding day was perfect. No drama , nothing forgotten.. all vendors were wonderful and gave us The wedding our bride dreamed of ..

hands. Samantha was a great communicator--clear and timely and we never felt that we didn't have her full attention. As we met with vendors, the common theme was "I am so glad you are working with Sweetgrass. They are so organized and easy to work with--a great team." As someone who is a "Type A worker bee," I was unsure that I could sit back and let the Sweetgrass team handle the wedding festivities. However, I trusted them and they did not disappoint. Best night of my life!

provided us with plenty of wonderful design options and fun ideas to incorporate into our big day. When the pandemic hit, panic immediately set in and we were overwhelmed with the challenge in navigating a wedding. Luckily Meredith, like the pro she is, went above and beyond in helping us postpone our wedding from April to August 2020 and coordinated all the necessary changes with our vendors. She made the transition of postponing a wedding look effortlessly and alleviated all of our stress and concerns. Our wedding was more than what we could have dreamed of and everything turned out flawlessly. THANK YOU to Meredith and the rest of the Sweetgrass Social team for everything you did to make the planning process and our wedding day an absolute DREAM!

helpful the day of and all the days leading up to our wedding!

ing come true and I could not have done it without her! We were originally supposed to get married in April of 2020 but of course COVID put a stop to that. Pushing our wedding out a year was of course devastating at the time, but Samantha made our worst nightmare into the most seamless and easy process. She handled everything and I cannot thank her enough for that support. We did finally get married in April of 2021!! and everything was beyond perfect! I had the best experience with the Sweetgrass Social team and I highly recommend them to any future brides <3

was on top of every detail. When we were researching wedding planners, all the other vendors had great things to say about Sweetgrass and now I know why. I would highly recommend them! Thank you Sam and team for making our wedding and the entire experience one we will always remember and our guests will always talk about!

eredith Tanton specifically, is an absolute dream to work with. In the beginning stages of planning there was no pandemic yet and Meredith was on top of everything. She is extremely organized and each time speaking with her she was able to clearly and concisely let my fiance and I know exactly what needed to get done and by when. She researched local vendors as well as trusted vendors she had worked with before and presented them to us and really helped us narrow down our selections. Meredith made an effort to get to know me, my personality, and my style to really design a wedding that suited me. Once we booked vendors, some of which were her suggested vendors but some I found on my own - she was a great liaison for us - all of our vendors absolutely adored Meredith and respected her professionalism and organized attitude. Once the pandemic hit instant panic hit, as we weren't sure exactly how this would affect our wedding day. Our wedding was November 14, 2020 so back in March we were sure this pandemic would blow over. With the quick experience Meredith picked up from her pandemic weddings in those early months, she was able to quickly give us options as backups and how we could still have the day of our dreams and still have our guests be safe and comply with local COVID-19 safety guidelines. Mind you, she kept us abreast of these ideas WHILE she was totally changing and reworking other weddings she had. Even with headcount adjustments (some even the week of the wedding) she was able to pivot immediately with ease and have updated plans for us. She kept herself up to date with the ever changing COVID-19 restrictions in our localized area (Lexington, Virginia) as well as in contact with our venue to make sure all of her plans were compliant and we were still happy. As our wedding weekend commenced Meredith and her assistant Sam were such calming forces. Not once did I feel flustered or question how the day would turn out, because they were on top of everything. Meredith and Sam made our bridal party and family feel comfortable on the day of the rehearsal so everyone felt confident leading into the big day. They also made several trips up to the venue to help vendors set up throughout the weekend and make sure progress was being done in a timely manner. On the wedding day - everything went off without a hitch! Meredith ensured the bridal party had everything they needed to feel comfortable, relaxed, and fed (VERY important) on the hours leading up to the wedding. She worked with our vendors on the day of to really ensure the day went off without issue and smoothly. I've received several compliments about how perfectly the day went without any missteps or slip ups - during the entire day (guests arrival, ceremony, reception, and departure). I can't thank the team at Sweetgrass Social enough or Meredith enough because in a chaotic world she was able to make me feel at ease and have a wedding I didn't even think possible. My wedding experience and day was elevated because of the hard work of Meredith & the Sweetgrass Social team.

antha was our lead planner for our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful. She helped me with every single question along the way, listened to my wishes (and crazy fears), and provided great advice. She really put me at ease throughout the process and ensured that we had the absolute best day. She thought of everything, from start to finish. Jacquelyn also planned our rehearsal dinner and it was perfection. The whole team is wonderful and I highly, highly recommend!

wedding in extenuating circumstances in a pandemic look like a breeze. We would not have been able to have our absolutely PERFECT wedding day without them. Samantha Scandole was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. She was so organized, provided options for everything we wanted (or needed) to do, and stayed calm/ had solutions for every problem or hurtle we encountered. I was blown away by the support she provided, and how she made our day a dream. Our original day was planned for May, and we had to make the decision to postpone until September. As you can imagine, this can be incredibly stressful, but Samantha worked across all our vendors to move everything over with ease. She continued to stay very close to us through this whole process of changing regulations, rules, and changes we could make. As an out of town bride, this was even more important. As we got nearer to September, we feared that our wedding would not be able to happen. As we gauged what we wanted to do, Samantha threw out ideas and options, and ultimately continued to work towards whatever we wanted (and ensure our day was wonderful). About 45 days out, Samantha helped us find a NEW venue that had outdoor space available and more room to be socially distant. She helped us reconfigure our whole reception to go above and beyond our wildest dreams. Every step of the way, she was there to help, and took so much stress off our plates. All I can say is Sweetgrass Social and Samantha is who you want to plan your wedding. I can not recommend them enough. You guys are AMAZING. Thank you so much ❤️

s absolutely magical. Samantha worked her tail off for us and we felt that every single week. None of us knew what we were in for when we hired them, but they were seriously worth every penny. Samantha was not only an incredible detail-oriented planner, she also became a friend. She is seriously the sweetest. She listened to every word I said and made it a reality. She thought of things I would have never thought of and even found a way to honor my late mother without me asking her. She had me and all my bridesmaids in literal tears. Heart of GOLD!! I highly recommend this team. I am already thinking of ways to use them for future events.

favorite teams to have onsite! During the planning process, Meredith, Samantha + Jacqueline expertly guide their clients through vendor selection, menu creation, floor plan design + timeline logistics. They are always quick + detailed in response. Their digital organizational systems are impressive. Additionally, their creativity + attention to detail are unmatched. Not only are they a wonderful vendor partner, but they also provide our clients with individualized service second to none! You are in wonderful hands with this rockstar team!

ail was perfect. Jacqueline captured our vision and brought it to life bigger and better than I could’ve imagined. She gave us ideas and inspiration that shaped our entire wedding. Every creative idea was met with a personalized touch that left our guests feeling wow’d. I got SO much feedback that our wedding was the best anyone had been to and that is ALL due to the SweetGrass team. As a bride, I had full trust in the team which allowed me to relax and focus on planning for our marriage, not just our wedding day. No detail was left out. Jacqueline put her heart into our day and it was so evident that she simply loves what she does. I’m already thinking of ways to somehow work together again. My husband and I always talk about wanting to have our wedding day all over again. We owe our entire day to the SweetGrass Social team!

edding planner. She has been a friend and therapist, helping navigate through almost every situation imaginable during the planning process. Our wedding was everything we could dream of, every detail of the weekend was prefect. Nothing was over looked, from the timeline to decor, which took a ton of stress off this detailed ordinated bride. I highly recommend Sweetgrass Social to any bride looking to have the wedding of their dreams and looking to work with some of the most talented people in Charleston. Thank you so much Meredith, Sam and the rest of the Sweetgrass Social team!

out the entire wedding planning. She has such an eye for design and creativity that made our ceremony and reception so unique and special to us. From choosing vendors, to color designs, keeping me calm, and helping me make decisions With every detail, Meredith really does it all! Her expertise in the wedding business is what brought everything together. We can’t thank her enough for all she did to make everything perfect. Not only was Meredith amazing, but the entire team of Sweetgrass Social was so kind and helpful. I am beyond happy that I chose to go with them as our wedding planner, and I would recommend them to ANYONE getting married in the Charleston area. Thank you again Meredith for everything you did for us, we are so so thankful to have chosen you!

ight! She helped us plan the wedding of our dreams. Everything was perfect from the flowers to the draping to the music. She knew exactly what we wanted (even when we struggled at times to explain that out loud) and translated what we had in our minds. Six weeks after our wedding and our friends and family are still talking about how amazing it was. Coley and I will remember it for the the rest of our lives. Thank you to Jacqueline and her team. You will always be a wedding whisperer in our minds!

the big day - Sweetgrass didn't skip a beat. They made sure every detail and logistical item was taken care of so we could have peace of mind and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. THANK YOU!

rain, but she provided great insight and kept us clam! I would highly recommend her!

ails, even the ones I had not considered. They were thoughtful and creative, and even came up with solutions to issues that arose on the day of my wedding, which I was unaware of until after the event. This is a true indicator of their professionalism and expertise in event planning.

udget conscious. She was so calm and organized the day of my daughter’s wedding. She made the “wedding of my daughter’s dreams” perfect for the MOB to enjoy!

ds during the entire wedding weekend. They made sure everything went off without a hitch, helped calm my nerves right before walking down the aisle, and even saved the day when the skies opened up near the end of our reception. They also went out of their way to provide some day-of materials (picture frames, table numbers) and did some awesome gold-leaf crafting along the way! I 100% recommend Sweetgrass Social for any wedding planning needs.

al, creative, patient, and so accomodating of our needs. Of course I had ideas of what I wanted for our day, but they were the ones to ultimately put it all together and create a beautiful and unique design. I was absolutely blown away on the wedding day when I saw it all come together. Along with the design, the wedding day and execution itself was flawless! I didn't have to think or worry about anything because their team had everything under control and there were zero hiccups! There is no better feeling than just truly enjoying and taking in your wedding day and without Sweetgrass Social, we would not have been able to do that. Thank you so much, Sweetgrass Social, for everything you did for us and for giving us the perfect day!!

the day be perfect for my daughter and her fiancée was obviously her number one concern. The venue is perfect with the Ashleigh River views and food could not have been better. The wedding was everything we dreamed of and more!

rked so hard to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch and was everything we could have hoped for! She truly is a lifesaver! She knew exactly who we would work best with, the vendors that would really get our vision for our day, and who was experienced at our venue. I can't imagine our wedding without Meredith. She is truly incredible. Anyone getting married in the Charleston area NEEDS to work with Sweetgrass Social!!

use of Samantha. She helped in every single way and did everything to make our wedding go off without a hitch. We would recommend them 100 times over and are so thrilled with their help. They made our wedding day a success and helped us be so relaxed so we could enjoy every minute of it!!! We can't thank them enough for their help throughout the whole thing and are so grateful to the whole company. We love you guys!!

Wedding. They were so sweet, professional, and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. If anything did go wrong for either event I had no idea! Our entire wedding weekend was so well organized and perfectly executed thanks to this team! I wouldn’t use anyone else for your wedding!

we hung up the phone with Jacqueline, we knew right away that we wanted to work with her! Jacqueline went above and beyond to help turn our vision of our dream wedding into a reality! She was so quick to respond to any questions, concerns, and suggestions we had throughout the process and always there to help with guidance for any final decisions on anything and everything! The day of timeline was organized perfectly and everything ran so smoothly all thanks to Jacqueline! I remember walking through the reception area before the events started on the wedding day and was blown away because it was everything I envisioned and more! She also had great recommendations on local vendors that helped us put together the absolute BEST team for our wedding day! It couldn’t have been more perfect! Best decision picking Jacqueline and Sweetgrass Social to help plan our wedding!

She took my vision to the next level. I can remember leaving that meeting feeling so giddy and happy that I had chosen Sweetgrass Social as my wedding planner. Jacqueline was an absolute rock star! Not only is she wildly creative, but she is also a "day-of" genius! She allowed me and my family to enjoy the entire experience of our wedding without having to lift a finger. And can I just say how beautiful everything was?! I mean, WOW! Thank you, Jacqueline, for the wedding of my dreams!

line made it all possible. She has a beautiful design eye, seamlessly coordinated multiple vendors, and flawlessly managed any of our questions or concerns along the way. She is the ultimate wedding professional and I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else for a wedding planner. When I walked into our reception, it literally took my breath away. We will forever be thankful for her delivering the most beautiful and special day of our lives. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

gement until we were in our car heading to our hotel after our wedding! She eased every anxiety I could have possibly had and I could not recommend her more! We are forever grateful that she made our vision come to life for the best day of our lives! She is the best of the best!

nd they made our every wish come true. They were such a great team and a delight to work with. Thank you Jacqueline and David for the best time of all our lives!!

igure out what I was wanting for our wedding. Let me tell you, Meredith exceeding my expectations, calmed my anxiety, and knocked our wedding out of the park. It was magical, a fairy tale, perfect beyond words. My bridal party and I took a sneak peak before the ceremony, and they were all completely blown away with how perfect everything was, Meredith GOT me. Once the sunset and the lights came on, it was a DREAM completely and utterly amazing , I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. If you are considering hiring an event designer/planner, YOU HAVE TO HIRE SWEETGRASS SOCIAL, they will knock it out of the park for you.

ugh for me - seamless event and a wonderful wedding day. She and her team will ensure your vision is complete & carried out to the last detail!

nning was done from more than 500 miles away which can be anxiety provoking but not with jacqueline. She was an absolute dream to work with and created a wedding for us that i could have never imagined. I can not thank her enough for what she did, and wish i could get married every year just to work with jacqueline and her team again. Thank you so much for giving us everything we have ever wanted and more!

pful, and made the wedding day chaos a total breeze. She was so organized and prepared and kept me on top of things leading up to the wedding. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about their professionalism and their team in general - so grateful to have had these ladies planning my big day!!

th and her team truly showed their value when it starting pouring rain during set up. They were able to get all new linens and finish setting up just in time. The best part is we had no clue any of that happened till after the wedding!! They pulled it off and it was beautifully!! Thank you!!

r, every time I changed my mind Jacqueline handled the design updates and recommendations with grace and unbelievable patience. They make a point to truly understand my vision and helped make it a reality that feels like a dream because it was that perfect of a day. My A type personality was quickly put to ease and Jacqueline and team made our wedding day the most seamless, beautiful and stress-free day ever. Several months later, guests are still raving about how smooth everything went and how stunning the design was. The bridal party was also especially impressed with the Sweetgrass team on our wedding day and how they were there for them sometimes even before you knew you needed them! If you're in search of wedding planner and designer that can make any vision a reality, get in touch with these ladies ASAP!

the weekend of your wedding. We hired them to do full service planning from day 1 and the experience was nothing short of amazing. I was completely unfamiliar with the process and was also planning from afar; the combination of these factors made the idea of planning a destination wedding potentially very stressful but Sweetgrass quickly alleviated all of my worries. They were thorough in getting to know me, my fiancé, and the type of wedding we envisioned for ourselves. They offered clever and creative ideas that made our wedding feel very special. The organization skills this company has is unlike anything I have ever seen and their communication made wedding planning easy. Yes, EASY! They were readily available through text, email and phone whenever I had a "bride freak out" and every single time, they not only had a quick solution but handled everything for us. I would recommend these ladies hands down. They are a pleasure to work with and genuinely (and very clearly) love what they do. Our wedding weekend was so much more amazing than I could have ever imagined and I sincerely can say that this was because of Sweetgrass Social!

together into a dream wedding. They were creative, fun to work with and made the whole process seamless and more enjoyable. I highly recommend them for a wonderful wedding planning experience!
