Pinnacle Weddings Planning

the timeline went as planned. Linda was also amazing at helping the pre planning and helped direct our rehearsal. They both went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams! Thanks you pinnacle for all your help!

truly all came together in the best way possible. She asked all the right questions that we hadn't even thought of and made us feel confidant that the day would go off without a hitch - and it did! Our whole wedding party couldn't say enough about how quick, knowledgeable and helpful Tomi was - and we had a loud, chatty, big group from NJ/NY - and she got everyone on the same page in no time. LOVE Pinnacle. DJ Cam was awesome too!

the different venues where I could have a small celebration. I live across the country so I told her I needed the complete "hand-holding" package! And she delivered. Every single resource was recommended by her and every single resource came through with flying colors. The rentals (Event Haus), the caterer (Rosemary and Rye), the florals (Moonlight Iris), the photographer (Christi Porter), and the DJ (Davis Diel), the welcome gift bags (A Touch of Charleston) - ALL WONDERFUL! And the venue!!! Boone Hall Cotton Dock was magical. Not to mention the most beautiful sunset... Fairytale celebration. Thanks to Linda and her crew!!!

s absolutely incredible, they never missed a beat. I couldn’t ask for a better squad.

s that it made the distance part so easy. Carrie and Anna took care of EVERYTHING on our wedding day yesterday! We didn’t have to do anything. They constantly checked on us during the reception, had all food boxed up, went to get whatever my husband or I needed. They kept it all running so smoothly! And Christi.., OMG, she made the photos afterwards so much fun! My husband and I had the best time laughing with her during our walks and photos on the pier. I can’t wait to see her finished products for us because they are going to be spectacular. She knew precisely where to put us for sunset photos. Thank you to all of the Pinnacle team! If you want the best wedding day, you must call Linda!!

lt like we were always in great hands with our planning. Linda and her team were extremely helpful throughout the planning process with answering questions and finding vendors. On the day of the wedding her team handled all the décor setup and did an amazing job making everything look beautiful. Linda and her assistants were great throughout the wedding making sure we were sticking with our timeline and we had an awesome day! There is so much to do during the day, but we felt like they were always ahead of the curve and keeping us updated with what we were doing next while also letting us enjoy our day. Thank you Linda and your team for an amazing day!

dors who we could count on to deliver exceptional customer service. If some vendors fell short, they would pivot and find a solution. In the wedding world where you often hear the word "No," Linda and her team are solutions-driven to find out how we can turn that into a "Yes." They coordinate with your venues, vendors and anything else you may need with ease. You also feel like you have everything organized in one place with their planning platform, Aisle Planner. It helped us feel in the loop at all times from afar. Linda's upbeat and positive energy is crucial on such a busy day and she tackles any obstacles without batting an eye. She can truly do it all. We highly recommend Linda and Pinnacle, they are the best!

the groomsmen were ready for photos by not ensuring they had their boutonnières on for the groomsmen photos. Not only was she there when the florist dropped them off, but told the guys they should have had them on for photos after the fact. After walking me down the aisle, my father was forced to stand for the entire ceremony, as Christi did not make sure there was a chair for him in the front row. Nor did she offer a chair to him while he was standing in the direct sun, but I do have a photo of her on her phone during the ceremony. She also, after several meetings and discussing details perfecting a timeline, did not make sure everyone was lined up for photos to stay on said timeline to help the photographer. At the grand entrance into the reception, she failed to make sure the doors were ready for a double door entrance, resulting in one door being stuck open and unable to be closed and then reopened. This being a fairly simple task, that we discussed prior to wedding day that she couldn’t handle. After the ceremony and cake cutting, she failed to make sure the cake was cut and set out for guests, leaving me with $400 of wedding cake in my freezer and guests wondering where the dessert was. If it were not for my family helping out and picking up on missed things, my wedding would not have gone smoothly, even though I paid money to a service to ensure that it did. I also, hired Pinnacles DJ and he did a great job, other than not introducing my maid of honor correctly. Thank you, Cam, for playing our jams!

very professional. It was helpful that our Pinnacle team knew/worked with a lot of the other vendors we used. Most importantly they supported our non-traditional approach to many of the wedding traditions so that our wedding truly felt like OUR day and was it completely stress free. Would highly recommend!!!

to part ways and I emailed Linda if she had any availability and interest in picking up our wedding. Within hours, (the next morning), she was calling me at 8:00am on the dot and we spoke about our experience with the previous planner and what we were looking to avoid and specifically looking for in a planner. Papers were signed and payment was made that day and it was THE BEST thing I had done with regards to the wedding. I felt so unbelievably relaxed about the planning process that I continually was told by friends, 'wow, you're so calm.' I told them its because my wedding planner is so organized and on top of things I have no doubt everything is/will be set. Between guiding me the right way, negotiating different things from pricing with vendors to minor issues with the band, Linda was on top of everything. I was able to enjoy the process and relax on my wedding day. Linda always has a solution and a smile on her face. For anyone local or remotely planning a wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Linda and her team.

deo chat, phone calls, texts, and emails from start to absolute finish, which was a huge plus! On our wedding day, I truly felt that I had no worries because Carrie, Linda, and Anna were on it; they had a time line, they had plans and backup plans, they had connections, and they had positive attitudes. We couldn't be more happy with Pinnacle!

15 months before my wedding and she quickly answered every email I sent the entire process. She is very knowledgable about other vendors in the area and helped me choose the best team for my wedding. On the day of the wedding Linda ran everything and I could relax and enjoy the day. My friends and family all had a great time and many commented on how fun and professional Linda was. We had the wedding of our dreams all thanks to her.

kept everything flowing as planned. Planning a wedding will always be stressful, but Tomi helped alleviate so much of the stress, especially on our wedding day.

second to none and she made sure everything was planned flawlessly. You won't regret choosing Pinnacle as your planner for your big day! Thank you again for everything Pinnacle team!

mend Pinnacle with no reservations!

this was a destination wedding, we all worked together to find the perfect vendors for our wedding day and had many calls and zoom meetings together! I could not have been any happier with how the day turned out! Our family members are still raving about the entire day!

having to re-plan my wedding after moving to a new state during covid. I didn't even have a venue in Charleston when I called her, but when we hung up I knew she would be the best person to help me get it done in less than 9 months. Linda met me at my first local venue tour & I was amazed by the detailed questions she asked the venue staff. Christi became my head planner a few months out & even went out of her way to film our first look & ceremony when I knew I wouldn't find any videographer to agree to a film that short for a reasonable price (which Christi absolutely gave me). SO GRATEFUL for her saying yes to this on top of all her duties that day. Christi was present my wedding day & even came early for our ceremony rehearsal which was on Thursday. My wedding was on Hilton Head Island on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, which could have called for a lot of mistakes, but they didn't let anything go wrong. I found & communicated my vision to most of my vendors as that was something that was important to me, and they handled the rest. Linda & Christi confirmed my timeline serval times with all my vendors (which to me, is the most overwhelming & confusing part of the process) even down to changes of getting ready locations on the day of. It was clear my band was not fully aware of the details I had asked the band manager for specific songs & times of speeches, but Christi handled that right away & made sure they didn't forget anything during the reception. Overall, they were the nicest women & never hesitated to explain something on the planning website, give me advice on certain timeline questions, or go out of their way to make time for a zoom meeting. Thank you Pinnacle, y'all are the best!!!!

charisma, history of planning and knowledge/connections in the Charleston wedding industry. Leading up to the wedding, Linda and her team kept me on track with emails and virtual meetings. With Pinnacle handling our wedding, we only had to make one trip to Charleston prior to our wedding day for small items, such as cake tasting. She recommended a fantastic string duo for the ceremony and a great band for the reception, which all of our guests complimented! The guests were even complimenting us about Linda and how great she was! Everything went off as smooth as could possibly go. Linda and her team were the best investment that we made during our entire wedding!

our wedding team but has been a phenomenal friend to us. From the very moment we submitted our contact form to even days/hours before the wedding, Linda’s responses to any email/call were always timely and helpful. Linda has an outstanding personality and made certain that all our concerns came to the forefront of any planning or day of decision. She is brilliant at communicating and coordinating with vendors, whether they are well-established partnerships or brand new, and will have them working together seamlessly for your wedding. Linda and her team managed our day-of timeline so thoroughly that we never once felt uneasy or off schedule. You would never know that our wedding ceremony had moved indoors day-of due to heavy rain and severe storms, as Linda’s preparation, flexibility, and communication left us feeling comfortable and confident that our new ceremony location would be executed flawlessly, and no surprise, it absolutely was. We BEYOND recommend Pinnacle Weddings, not only will you find an amazing team that makes the entire process and day perfect; but you will also find a person who cares deeply to know her couples on a personal level to build a day beyond your wildest dreams.

ut my timeline. 3. They were able to recommend vendors. The problems though... 1. Pinnacle's attention to detail was not there and it was the one thing that made me cry upset tears on my wedding day. My seating chart was done more than a month in advance, give or take a few last-minute RSVPs. The week of my wedding, I had my seating chart written up on a mirror. I only had 8 long gallery tables, so I arranged the mirror exactly like my layout. On the day of my wedding, I walk into my reception and my husband's parents are the very last seats in our tent. I was mortified. They had seen the layout with their own eyes (bc I let them pick what table they wanted to sit at and who they wanted to sit with) and they knew the mirror was written correctly, but the tables were arranged wrong. They knew this was not my mistake, but my planners. Pinnacle arranged our wedding tables in the following order: Table 1, 7, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 2 --- not in numerical order. When I brought the issue up to Pinnacle in an email, I was told that it was MY mistake. That I had moved things in the wedding planner software. Excuse me—What?!? I did not switch the best seats in the house with my husband's family with the table of guests who didn't know anyone else. They tried to send me a pdf showing me my mistake, downloaded after the wedding, but the tables weren't aligned, the platters and napkin visuals I had imported were all a mess. Thankfully, I had my own copy of the layout taken 6 days before the wedding and given to the mirror calligrapher. Pinnacle claimed to be confused by what was in the software... But I wasn't buying it. You're wedding planners—if there is any confusion on where the parents of the groom are supposed to sit, text the bride so you don't make a big mistake! I was sitting around, getting my hair done for three hours scrolling on Instagram. I would've rather someone taken the initiative to text me than to screw this up. If my MIL wasn't an angel, this could've been very insulting. Pinnacle said they'd call to discuss, but they never did. 2. I found, interviewed, and booked 85%+ of my vendors without Pinnacle's assistance—which is fine bc I took the initiative to do this. Unfortunately, although I was happy with my choices by the end of my wedding, Pinnacle made it very clear on several occasions, including right before I walked down the aisle, that who I chose was not who they would've gone with... If the contract is signed and the check cashed, then stop. 3. No one contacted my bus service when only one bus showed up at the venue at the end of the night. Idk why I provided my planners their contact info if I was going to be the one standing in the drizzling rain, after my wedding, on the phone with the bus company to see where they were. Not something I thought I'd be handling. My wedding was amazing at the end of the day. This is just what stuck out to me in terms of Pinnacle's role in our day.

not go wrong with hiring Pinnacle.

nd beyond helping with this process. My wedding day planners Amy and Anna made our wedding better than anything I ever could have imagined! The attention to detail was incredible and I am so grateful to them! And they also helped make sure we had White Claws on our big day! You girls are rockstars! Would highly recommend this awesome team to anyone!!

ok over everything and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The day of was a breeze and Tomi was wonderful with following the time line and making sure everything was perfect. Our dj Cam was also great! He had everyone dancing and everyone had a great time! I highly recommend Pinnacle weddings, they are affordable and they truly care about your day and take pride in their work.

over to anyone who is getting married in the Charleston area!

nality kept us on track and her creativity in providing options while we waited to travel kept the stress levels manageable and the excitement high. The result was nothing short of breathtaking!! All the vendors worked with Linda to make the night flawless for the bride, groom, family and guests. Would highly recommend Linda and her team if you are planning a wedding in the Charleston area.

d helping us keep our heads on straight as we navigated the planning process. Every single vendor recommended by Linda was perfect - not only were they amazing at what they did, from the florist to DJ to photographers, but they are also just good people at their cores and we had so much fun having them all be part of our special day. In the couple months leading up to the wedding we got to work closely with Christi who is an absolute rockstar and took care of every little detail from setup to packing up our cars at the end of the night. And Tomi joined the team day of and what a rockstar. She saved me with her bustling skills and I can’t imagine my wedding without Christi and Tomi who made sure everything went smoothly. We had the most perfect wedding day and we owe it all to this amazing team!

nd Christi helped plan the wedding to every detail and I don't think the wedding ceremony and reception could have gone more smoothly. Afterwards every guest was raving about how amazing the wedding was and I have Linda and her team to thank for that. Their knowledge with weddings in the Charleston area and their expertise helped make my dream come true effortlessly. I would highly recommend Pinnacle Weddings to anyone getting married soon! The website tool they provide also helps you to track all the wedding details along the way to stay organized. Couldn't have asked for a better planner :)

ed. She helped us navigate significant family stress that ultimately led to changing our date (for the first time) to 10/10/20. She supported me and worked with my vendors to lock in the new date. Then COVID happened, and once again, we were looking at a total overhaul of wedding plans once again. With just a few months to spare, Linda managed to work with all of my vendors to downsize and shift plans to 10/9/20. She did all of this with warmth, kindness, and compassion. None of these things were really in her job description, but they were invaluable in getting my husband and I to the alter last year. My day-of coordination was headed by Christina with the assistance of Amy, who were both amazing communicators, and kept things running like clockwork (even though I arrived 45 min early from the ceremony). I opted for the decor package, which was WELL WORTH IT. The pinnacle team helped with rentals as well as setting decor that we brought with us and ordered from other companies. This team went above and beyond in so many ways. I have a special place in my heart for Linda and her amazing team. I highly recommend!!!

nts in time especially close to the actual date. Linda was there through all of it and walked us through each step of the way. She kept us on schedule and kept on top of things that we didn't even realize we needed to do. We really appreciated it. She understood our vision for the wedding and helped make it happen. Lastly, we aren't based in Charleston and she made sure that wasn't a barrier to getting things done by having regularly scheduled phone or video chats. She was accessible when we needed her to be.

and that no matter what the question at hand was, she had the answer or knew how to get it. She helped us stay organized and kept our minds at ease when we hit obstacles. Her communication was also top-notch! During and after the wedding, we’ve heard numerous praises from our guests about how great Linda and her team were! If Linda was ever not in sight, her assistant Christi was right there, available to direct/help where needed, and always made sure my husband and I had a fresh drink. :) You certainly cannot go wrong with Pinnacle! p.s. - check out their DJ services too!

uld have thought of, making it all the more magical. She worked with our limited budget to make us feel comfortable. She even used a little pixie dust, and some creative math, to allow us to take some of our “day of consultant” fees and apply them to a DJ. By doing this we were able to have both a DJ and string musicians which we never thought was possible. As we moved closer to the wedding date, we had weekly phone calls to make sure timelines and orders were fulfilled. If vendors were not returning our calls, Linda would nudge them and magically they would respond to us. In addition, Linda and her assistant were there all day helping in every way possible. Prior to starting this process, we never knew the value of a wedding planner. Now I couldn’t imagine doing this without one. I especially cannot imagine doing this without the experience and care of Pinnacle. We cannot thank Linda and her staff enough.

e of the bride and groom and the vendor team as well. It's such a pleasure to work with a professional like Tomi because she does an awesome job and her personality fits our super fun and amazing industry!

exible with any changes. Rob and I had big changes with 2 of our parents not being able to attend our wedding due to last minute circumstances, but Linda was so understanding and ready on her feet to figure out a solution! We can never say how much we appreciate Linda for making our big day so special!

to begin with but they handled everything for me and made the experience and enjoyable one. They spent hours on the phone with me doing everything imaginable to make our day absolutely perfect. They were so nice and flexible with all the changes that occurred I honestly could not have gone through this process without the two of them. This was hands down the best money we spent that day, worth every penny!!

tanding job. When our day finally arrived, Cam was professional, hit all the music selections for our and special events and it was perfect! Definitely recommend Pinnacle for wedding services....

r until I had one and it was a true blessing !! Would recommend to any couple without hesitation. Can’t thank Linda enough :)

rs. We had the wedding on June 27 & Linda helped navigate the new measures in place with vendors due to Covid. The wedding was as beautiful as I had always envisioned It. My main request with Linda from the very beginning was I just want to enjoy the wedding day & not have to worry about anything. My request became a reality & I had the most amazing time & as able to be truly “present” for my daughter’s wedding.

r wedding was scheduled for April 25th, 2020 - during the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Linda was PHENOMENAL with getting us rescheduled as soon as possible. She kept me calm and worry free. Contacted all of my vendors and rescheduled everything for us. My husband and I literally didn't have to do a thing other than choose our postponement date. From the get go I felt an immediate connection with Linda and miss her already! I am so grateful for Linda and her team for their outstanding expertise and knowing exactly what to do during a time of crisis. I truly recommend hiring Pinnacle Weddings in Charleston for your event. You will not be disappointed!

alked us through the rest of the progress. We scheduled once a month calls at first, but Pinnacle was always available through email or aisle planner. We endured the uncertainty of venues shutting down during Covid-19 and protestors knocking out the windows of our rehearsal dinner restaurant. Linda kept assuring us that even if the date got postponed, we were still going to have a wedding. We did have the wedding on the scheduled date and Pinnacle's services for the rehearsal and day of allowed me, as the mother of the bride, to be able to relax and enjoy myself. They took care of every detail. I would highly recommend this group as your wedding planner.

chose their package with photography, full planning, and DJ. As a destination bride, it could have been a stressful journey, but Linda made it easy. Hands down, probably the best money we could have spent. She took my small vision and turned it into a majestic journey under the sea, and seamlessly executed the weather backup plan in the smallest time window ever! Our friends and family still rave about our wedding. Local or destination brides, you will not be disappointed with Pinnacle!

ea of finding vendors for the wedding. Luckily I booked Pinnacle and they were amazing. They had excellent vendor recommendations and I booked the photographer and DJ through them directly. Once contracts were signed, Pinnacle handled all of the coordination and on-site setup for the wedding weekend. I was so grateful that the Pinnacle team had everything handled. The team was prompt to respond to all communication and followed through on all aspects. They were a huge stress relief and I could not be happier with their service. If you need a wedding planner in the Charleston area, please save yourself time and stress and book Pinnacle now.

bout a month before our wedding, Katelin completely took over vendor communication which put my groom and I at ease. She made sure everything was perfect day of and allowed us to completely enjoy our wedding day by taking care of EVERYTHING. She decorated our reception and made sure the timeline was on track. We do not have enough good things to say about Katelin's professionalism and how kind and pleasant she was to work with. Highly recommend Pinnacle planning to any bride like me who wanted to sit back and completely enjoy the best day of their lives!

us for a seamless (and gorgeous) wedding day. Her professionalism, organization, and her incredible accent :) were such a joy to work with. And.. she absolutely loved our Harry Potter inspired wedding and fully got into character for it! I fully suggest upgrading your package to include her assistant. We literally had no worries on the day of. Linda retrieved all decorations from the room, set them up better than we could imagine and.. had all gifts, decorations, boxes of our wedding food in case we didn't get a chance to eat (we made a point to, though!), slices of cake, and the top of our cake back in our room before we even got back after the reception. We've been to several weddings where either the families or guests in general have had to help clean up, etc... not ours. This was an incredible touch and absolutely worth every penny. ZERO stress. Linda, from Britt and I - so many thanks to you for your help and just overall awesomeness for our special day. It came together perfectly and we could not have done it without you. We will definitely "ring" you when we are in Charleston next! Cheers!

end or the other vendors end. We are from Michigan so planning a destination wedding without the ability to be there was a challenge and would’ve have been mass chaos if it were not for Linda! She was a delicate drill Sargent for my “ groomzilla”. We had the best day with absolutely no hiccups! Every single thing we planned and wanted she made happen. We literally fell in love with her the day we met her and gained a friend in the process! We are so proud of her too!! Xoxo Brit and Tony Prainito

was able to really enjoy the day all thanks to the AMAZING team at Pinnacle! THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH!

s of questions within hours. Katelin was amazing, she coordinated the rehearsal, and everything the day of the wedding. It was so nice to be able to relax, and enjoy the day getting ready with my bridesmaids, knowing she was handling everything. Mikey was so much fun, and kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night! We had some special requests for him and he made sure all our favorite songs were played. Pinnacle has a super helpful aisle planner portal that makes planning a wedding super simple. Katelin and Mikey also had access to the portal to be able to communicate with our vendors, and see all our song requests. Thank you Katelin, Mikey, and the Pinnacle team for making our special day so memorable!! Love- Chelsea & Eric

ed. I didnt have to worry about a thing on my big day because of Pinnacle. I also used Pinnacle for our DJ service and Mikey was AWESOME! All of our guest were out on the dance floor and he had any song people were asking for. Uploading my own request was super easy and he planned the songs of everything perfectly. Because of Pinnacle, our big day was perfect and I could not be more grateful for their help!

as not a destination wedding, how important a planner can truly be. Linda was absolutely the best, EVER! We loved her from the moment of our initial consultation. We knew immediately that she would take charge, be sure everything would be perfect for the special day, and work closely with us from the start. With every thought my daughter had for her special day, Linda was inquisitive, thoughtful, bold in her ideas and suggestions, and knew the area well to ensure we had the best venders to work with. We were absolutely confident my daughters day would be perfect day thanks to Linda. She made all of feel like she was truly interested in my daughter's wedding and would make it as stress free as possible, she succeed in every aspect. Always accessible and available, answering any questions we had quickly and completely with complete satisfaction. Linda was borne for this job; professional, organized and truly customer oriented. Please don't plan a wedding alone, Linda made all our worries go away, we knew it would be a perfect day and we could enjoy all the special moments during the this special day, Linda made this happen. The best planner ever! Brought each and every detail of my daughters day to life with the vision she was given by her, my wife and I. I will forever remember this day and I owe it in large part to Linda - what a wonderful, caring and special person she is.

needed to enjoy her wedding day at its finest! Grateful mom!!!!

g from out of state and I put my faith in her and she did not disappoint! They have a fantastic website which helped me keep on track with planning, but they have access to it as well and will fill it in with their stuff as well as help tie up everything at the end. They were both so bubbly, sweet,attentive,helpful all the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She had everything planned out and kept us in the loop with timing and what was coming up next to keep us on track. Not only did I Love working with her but my family just raves about her even after. Katelin and Linda are very quick to respond to emails and texts and are very helpful in reaching out to other vendors. I highly recommend them so that every bride and groom have a fantastic wedding just like we did! I couldn’t have been anymore happier that I went with them, they felt like a part of the family!

were ahead of the game! They were both so professional and were able to take a small little vision and turn it into something magical. Easy to work with and truly cared about us! Would use them again and again!

e out on the dance floor for the entire reception, even though we had guests from several different countries and age groups (ages 2 to 92)! He did a fantastic job with the music selection and he was so much fun. Our guests absolutely loved him! Tomi is the sweetest person and was amazing from our first call a few months before the wedding until the very end of the night. She made my vision for the wedding come to life and ensured everything ran on time and was completely seamless. Everyone told us something would not go as planned on our wedding and I can honestly say that was not the case for us - Tomi took care of everything! So many of our guests have since told us how much fun they had at our wedding and that wouldn't have been possible without Tomi and Mikey. We couldn't have picked a better Planner or DJ and would highly recommend Tomi and Mikey to anyone planning a wedding in the Charleston area!

Maryland so having her guidance and expertise was so helpful. She helped us make decisions whenever we were unsure by providing advice but always made sure it was what we wanted on our day. She made the wedding day run so smoothly and we could not have done it with out her. She was always so kind and sweet, we had a lot of guests and family comment on how great she was! We are so happy we decided to go with Pinnacle!

ting with all parties involved during the planning phase, and providing dependable resources and choices to the couple. On the day, she was a constant presence, ensuring that everything went according to plan, and responding to any needs, all the way through the end of the event. She made sure that everything was packed up and moved out at the end of the evening. I had a wonderful time enjoying my sons wedding, and had nothing to worry about or be responsible for other than to be there. I highly recommend Linda and Pinnacle. I am so grateful to her for everything she did to make this day so special.

ndors, many of whom we ended up using. The portal is a great tool to use to keep track of tasks and to create your timeline. Leading up to the wedding, Linda went above and beyond to make sure every detail was finalized so the wedding day ran smoothly. She was a great help with our rehearsal and was essential to making our wedding day run smoothly. Thank you so much Linda!!

ions, and opinions. We were definitely a team in planning my wedding. It would not have been the same without her. She was worth every penny. Thanks Linda!

effective!! Highly recommended!!

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 !!!! She encouraged us to tell her OUR vision and how she would be there to see it through.She carefully organized our wedding weekend timeline and coordinated all the vendors we hired.The photographer,the videographer,florist,the DJ , the Trolley drivers,the lighting specialists,the Club and catering and on and on ! And by the way ,her reputation preceded her because most of them have worked with her before and they all LOVE HER ! She’s professional,kind,knowledgeable and fun.The wedding weekend has come and gone and it was beyond what we ever imagined.The evening was beautiful and I could enjoy my bride,her groom and my guests because Linda was behind the scene making it all flow like clockwork.Im thankful for Pinnacle and mostly for Linda Warner who is now someone whom I consider a good friend ❤️

of the wedding flowed beautifully, and we had time to squeeze first look photos in as a special location before heading to the venue. We loved her leadership, sense of humor, and support!

ing, accommodating, fun, communicative, and very responsive to the crowd. He even put together a short video that captured our wedding perfectly. We highly recommend him!!!

im I was not doing traditional music. He helped me make sure the ceremony was the way I wanted. Thank you!

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

and photos of the reception which turned out amazing! We had Nicki as our planner and i literally could not have done it without her! From the very beginning of the planning process she answered my countless emails and kept me on schedule every step of the way booking vendors and finalizing details. I did not have to worry about ANYTHING the day of the wedding except having a good time getting ready with my bridesmaids. She had everything on the day of handled and set up perfectly even down to the very minor details i asked for. If you are going back and forth about getting a planner I promise it is worth it to have someone like Nicki!!

ly passionate in bringing you the day that you tried all these months and years to imagine. We cannot thank Pinnacle enough for being our guiding light throughout this entire journey into a beautiful marriage!
