There is no way that we could have planned our wedding without her by our side. Our photographer was Christi and the photos that we have received back were absolutely gorgeous. She was so kind to work with and was a really sweet & genuine person. Anna, our day of planner was the same. She was so detail oriented and easy to work with. They definitely made our day stress-free. Our DJ, Davis, had the dance floor crowded and energetic the entire night. His ability to read the room and give the crowd what they’re looking for is unmatched! Plus, he really knows how to balance fun and professionalism! Overall, I 12/10 recommend Pinnacle Weddings.

was easy to communicate with. We held calls before the day of the wedding to ensure Christi was a good fit and to create a perfect and logistically reasonable itinerary. Christi coordinated effectively with my other vendors to ensure we were on time. Her execution was fantastic. We were able to get great shots around Charleston and remained within our time restraints. She thoughtfully helped me manage my wedding dress through downtown Charleston. Christi beautifully captured all of the special moments of our wedding. 2 days after our wedding, Christi provided more Sneak Peak pictures than I expected. She provided our portfolio in accordance with the expectations she set. The photography prices were reasonable compared to other vendors in the area. I would recommend Christi to anyone who is going to have a wedding in Charleston. Thanks Christi and Linda for your services!

as so seamless as everyone has worked together countless times and know how each other operate. I'd also like to add that we got married the day after Hurricane Ian passed through Charleston and they 100% had it all under control which gave me so much peace as a bride gearing up for a hurricane. Carrie was our Coordinator and she is absolutely fantastic. Every meeting with Carrie, I felt instantly more relieved and excited for our big day. She had everything under control throughout the entire process and she thought of all the details I would have completely missed. Carrie made sure our timeline maximized the things we valued most on our day, while also making sure the day didn't feel to rushed or chaotic. On our wedding day, Carrie was the perfect person to have running the show as she was so attentive to all the details we had discussed. Carrie met with us when I was afraid things might have to change a lot during the hurricane, but she made sure that our wedding could go perfectly as planned despite having to pivot just a little bit due to the weather changes. Our wedding day was a total DREAM and was truly the best day of our lives. James was our photographer and he is EXCELLENT. James is the perfect person to have as your photographer as he has an eye for cool shots/scenery/lighting, and he is extremely professional and organized which is needed to get family members and bridal party arranged for the numerous photos that happen throughout the day. James takes all the photos you need without it feeling stressful or rushed. He is so good at capturing authentic moments. We weren't sure what would happen with our photos after the hurricane due to all the brush/debris on the ground but James found the perfect spot near our venue to take group photos and they are stunning. He even sent us sneak peek photos the morning after our wedding which was SUCH a treat to see!! We can't wait to see the rest of the photos! We absolutely loved having Davis DJ our wedding reception! He did a fantastic job throughout the whole evening. He was so organized, professional, easy and fun to to work with! He did a great job of making the vibe progress flawlessly from jazzy cocktail hour to fun oldies during dinner to the most fun dance party later in the night! I loved how he mixed songs and kept it super fun and engaging the entire night. Our dance floor was PACKED in the best way and everyone was having a great time. Davis also did a great job with all the announcements and introductions throughout the evening! All of this to say, you must use Pinnacle for your wedding!!! They are simply the best! :)

She deserves an award for braving the extreme summer heat of my wedding to capture the most beautiful pictures! We’ve seen the sneak peaks, and can’t wait to see more! She even shared a dance with me when I pulled her onto the dance floor! She felt more like enjoying the day with a friend, rather than having a photographer taking my picture.

g close to 10 months before my daughter’s wedding date.I started with The Knot, as thats where my google search sent me and I was suddenly faced with lots of choices and so it began ! Pinnacle came highly rated with choices for music, decor, lighting and THE PLANNER !!!! I read reviews and over and over bride’s and MOB’s ( you’ll get the lingo 😉) raved about Linda and her fabulous organization and support -just what I was searching for ! I emailed the owner of Pinnacle ( Stuart ) and he emailed me back immediately and he was eager to help me get the proverbial wedding planning ball rolling .He welcomed me to Pinnacle and assured me that I had come to the right place to ease my wedding planning fears.I explained how his Planner Linda Warner had been so highly touted on his site and on The Knot.He explained the packages I could get with her and how happy he knew I would be with her by my side.I was planning my daughter’s wedding from almost 500 miles away.He She was available for Day Of wedding or Enhanced Day Of .I was a little confused about what I would need but I knew I needed help ! I ended up purchasing the Enhanced package as the scope of the wedding details certainly called for that.That also buys me an asst for Linda which was a MUST in the preparation of the wedding day. Linda called me and introduced herself and comforted me by saying we have plenty of time for prep and discussions and that she’d be with me every step of the way -and if this is your first wedding -these words soothed my jitters.Linda stayed in touch and talked with me about the Planning website which helps her to keep up to date on decisions that we made concerning wedding bookings ,etc and financials ! We finally met Linda face to face at our venue and she was as charming in person as she seemed on our numerous telephone conversations.She was quick to advise us of things to remember to do but BEST of all she LISTENS !!!!

We booked Pinnacle for DJ services for our wedding December 8th, 2018. Nothing personal against the guy we were assigned at all. (I'm not going to give specific names because that is irrelevant.) He was very nice & polite the entire night. He s...
howed up on time and had a great quality wireless mic for speeches and had an audio output for recording as well (this is very important if you have a videographer). One of the issues we had was when it came to transitions - it is always the DJ's job to fill in the transitions between entrances to the reception, first dances, dinner, speeches and dancing and never allow for there to be awkward silence between the moments. There were a lot of moments of awkward silence. He was provided a very detailed timeline from our wedding planner and knew when every moment was to happen. Aside from the awkward silence a DJ is not a DJ unless he can mix music. Mixing music is a way to go from one song to the next without an abrupt ending or hard transition from one song to the next. We might as well have had a friend on the AUX because there were nothing but hard transitions between every song. NO MIXING WHATSOEVER HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. Mixing of music is one of the only things that separate a DJ from an average Spotify user these days and having someone who could mix was the entire reason we hired a DJ in the first place. There were several times throughout the night when the older ladies would all be on the dance floor dancing to an older song and immediately it would switch to a modern day pop song. Tending to the crowd on the dance floor for song choice was something that did not happen. And lastly, there were several break up songs played throughout the night. (ex.) bruno mars - When I Was Your Man was playing during dinner and a groomsmen had to go tell the DJ to change the song. All in all, Pinnacle did NOT ruin our wedding day. Our wedding was still perfect and we appreciated each and every moment that happened throughout the entire night. I understand that this company uses several different DJ's who are all individually talented, however, we would never recommend Pinnacle DJ services because of the "DJ" we received. Positives: Good Attitude On time Clear audio Audio Out for Videography Negatives: No music was mixed Break up songs Lots of awkward silence

Thank you so very much for leaving your comments here on The Knot. I did try to contact the two couples we helped on your wedding date to find out who this was, but did not receive a reply so I am not quite sure who I am reply to - sorry! Even...
so, I'm so happy to read how the team was polite and professional and that the quality of our gear was excellent. (we really try to be the best!) I was also told by both of my employees that the dance floors were super busy and they both received hugs and compliments at the end of the night, so apologies if we are not quite sure what this all means. For example, I am not sure what you mean by transitions between the intros and first dances? We do not talk all night on the mic, so between first dances we typically do not say much, if anything at all, as it is really an intimate moment. (unless we are told to do so) With regard to music, I can assure you we do mix music! We sometimes do club style mashups and remixing, but at a wedding typically, mixes are a lot simpler than that due to the wide range of music types, styles and age range. Finally, with the choice of songs, we usually follow your guidance and adhere strictly to a "do not play" list if provided. And, we do not play explicit music or music of a less than appropriate nature. I do apologize if the content of one of our songs was not acceptable to you all as we really do try to make it perfect for everyone. Thanks again for taking the time of offer your comments and we wish you both an amazing life together. - Stuart

I booked Pinnacle for DJ, Photography, and Planning on 1-7-18 for my October 6, 2018 wedding. Nicki was my wedding planner and she was AMAZING. Our assigned DJ was Austin he did a really great job! On June 25th I reached out to Stuart asking f...
or Peter’s contact information because we wanted to schedule a meeting with him. I received an email back with the name of a different photographer/contact info telling me he was my lead photographer. My contract stated Peter Miller was to be my lead photographer, website stated they had only one lead photographer, and I had conversations with Stuart on The Knot confirming Peter would be my lead. I got on the phone with this newly assigned photographer and Peter letting them know I was upset and none of this was personal as I didn’t know this other photographer at all. I requested examples of his work if I was going to move forward and feel comfortable. They sent 10 photos. In the second email with example photos they accidentally forwarded me an email thread where they were discussing me. In the thread they stated “So this is between us and can no way be shared with the couple. I am shooting another wedding that day. Stuart booked another one on that date hoping you would be able to handle it.” I immediately requested a phone call with Stuart. I asked Stuart whose contract came first, mine or the wedding Peter is actually shooting. Stuart completely denied this and stated Peter had something else going on that day that could not be shared with me. I told Stuart someone was obviously lying to me and I wanted the truth. Stuart then got angry on the phone raising his voice stating “are you calling me a liar?” and went on to tell me his religion/about his family. I made him aware I had written proof and sent it over to him while we were on the phone he asked me what I wanted and how we can resolve this. I asked Stuart how many weddings this other photographer has done as a lead and was told that was confidential HR information that could not be shared with me. I asked for a portfolio, there was none available. After 20 plus minutes of going back and forth and Stuart actually suggesting he cancels my entire contract (3 months before my wedding) because “clearly we can’t work together” he ultimately gave me 3 options: cancel photography, use the new photographer, and my suggestion that they find a sub of equal or greater talent than Peter. He sent 1 alternate photographer the following week which was not up to par to my expectations. I ended up getting a refund and found an AMAZING photographer. Immediately after this all came to light in June Stuart changed the wording on his website regarding photography. While this second shooter might have done a good job, I wasn’t willing to risk it on the most important day of my life. I knew signing up with a company that I couldn’t hand select my DJ and wedding planner and I was ok with that, but photography is a completely different story and it was extremely disappointing to be treated the way I was and to be left scrambling 3 months before my wedding looking for a photographer. Stuart will respond to this and say he didn’t lie which means his employees did?? (Which i doubt) and he doesn’t agree with my memory of events...which aren’t memories they are direct quotes of our conversation and him yelling at me that I still have saved. Either way, I hope he learned from this situation and never treats another bride like he treated me.

tiful! I thought your ceremony was particularly touching :) We all work very hard to help make those things happen, and I am thrilled your day was so wonderful. Unfortunately, you and I will forever disagree about the circumstances surrounding your photography booking with us, and about some of the things you are quoting me as saying, etc.... Even so, I want to state yet again, that I, personally, never lied to you in any way. Not while you were working with us, not after your wedding day when I emailed you. I have been very honest about that with you on many occasions. You note references to my faith and my family as some sort of negative. I was simply trying to reassure you that they both guide and inspire me to be ethical, honest and positive in life, and in how I deal with our couples. That is simply who I am. And that is what I was trying to do with you at the time. Regardless, I want to personally apologize for how you feel about me, and about your experience on the photography side. Even though we disagree on the details, I am deeply saddened that I somehow failed to meet your expectations in any way. As always, I wish you both an amazing and joy filled life together and hope you will keep in touch! - Stuart

Our Wedding was practically split down the middle: one half a much older generation, and the other half a younger, rowdier military generation. To say that we were terrified of how the evening would turn out is an understatement! PINNACLE to th...
e rescue! We STILL have friends and family (from both walks of life) reaching out to us on a daily basis exclaiming that our Wedding Reception was the "funnest" they've ever been to! Pinnacle made our Big Night absolutely perfect! One of the more calming levels of service Pinnacle provides is giving the Bride and Groom 100% control of the evening. It's true! You can select every single song down to the very last minute, just a few so they can use their expertise to fill the gaps, or somewhere in the middle (this is what we elected to do, and we were so pleased with the result!) This really gave our DJ/MC the freedom to read the crowd's energy and follow up with song after song that kept the crowd roaring and dancing. Pinnacle really made what seemed like the impossible, possible. Lastly, one of our favorite moments from the evening was their explosive introduction of our Bridal Party and our 1st introduction as Man and Wife: WOW! This completely set the pace for the evening, and had everyone on the edges of their seats!

ordinator and DJ be from the same company, since they both are going to be the main people keeping the event moving along, through planning, setup and coordinating AND through music and announcements. Austin was really great to work with, we were able to make music requests through Pinnacle's online system, and then he threw in some other songs based on the mood of the room. People were on the dance floor basically the entire night (which was my ultimate wish!). I also recommend adding ceremony music on if you don't have a live performer for your ceremony. Music and mics for the officiant are super important for the ceremony! Kayla was amazing - although she was my "day-of" coordinator, she worked with me for months ahead of time to make sure every detail was ready to go. I gave her my "vision" for the decor set up and she made it look even more perfect than I imagined. She also had a great planning outline that made me think of details that hadn't even crossed my mind. It really helped guide my planning when I wasn't sure what I should be working on. Also have to give a shoutout to Stuart (owner/founder of Pinnacle) - he was my first point of contact and was so nice, helpful, and responsive that I knew I had found the right vendor.

He even made a difficult decision to assign a new planner closer to our date. Enter Nicki. From our first contact I knew we were on the same wavelength.
