Pinnacle Weddings Planning

other vendors and helped keep us on track through every step of planning. Planning a wedding is a huge endeavor and Emma made everything so easy. She was fantastic on the day of, making sure we were well taken care of and that no detail of the day was overlooked. Another very nice touch was having Linda, the owner of Pinnacle, stop by the wedding to check in with us as well and share well wishes for the day. We were so happy with our choice to work with Pinnacle and Emma and would recommend the same to any other couples out there!

h of the wedding, Hayli and Linda were there for any question or change I had. They both were extremely responsive in a timely manner. The aisle planner app that they use was very helpful in keeping me organized during my planning. The day of the wedding and the rehearsal truly would have been impossible without Hayli and Paula! Hayli kept us on time, but did not push us and let us have some flexibility to enjoy the moments and not have to rush from one thing to the next. She and Paula were so chill and had such a nice way of keeping the vibe calm and pleasant throughout the day. They were always there if we needed anything throughout the night. Hayli went above and beyond and helped me whenever I realized I forgot something, even things I didn’t even know I forgot. They are such a great team and truly lovely people. I would highly recommend Pinnacle Weddings to anyone looking for planning services for their event!

Sabrina is the premier wedding planner and coordinator. Throughout our entire experience Sabrina was at the ready to help in any way we needed without hesitation. She also had incredible guidance and input to help us achieve the end goal, throwing the best party and wedding Charleston has ever seen. There was never a time we reached out to Sabrina, even late at night, with a question or concern that she didn’t reply. She was expeditious in her replies, thorough in her coordination, and perfect in everything she executed. During the day of the wedding there was minor hiccups (without any undue stress on us) here and there but again Sabrina and with the help of Abby, were able to overcome and ensure that our special day was just that. Special. Perfect. Gorgeous. Not once was there a hint of stress on their face. All night both Sabrina and Abby ensured the wedding went off as planned, only better than I could have ever planned. The teamwork and pure professionalism that Sabrina and Abby showed all night showed exactly why Pinnacle weddings, lead by the marvelous and wonderful Linda Warner are Charleston’s top wedding events business. Linda’s leadership and joy in weddings is one reason that we never had a moment of stress from the first time we spoke with her, until the last hug after we said I do. Her expertise is radiated through her team and Linda is above all else, an incredibly kinda human that went to the far reaches of the Sun to help us with anything we needed. If anyone ever decided to marry in Charleston and is need of help, these are the ladies to help you. I will never be able to repay them for their kindness, compassion, understanding, bubbly energy that they gave us at every turn during the entire wedding process. But I hope with these words they understand if I were to ever hold another function in Charleston; they would be the ones I would call instantly. Thank you everyone at Pinnacle for all the help in throwing the greatest party we had ever been too.

en through the planning process or the wedding day without her! She is SO experienced and a true professional. She has such a strong attention to detail and incredible relationships with other vendors in the industry to help me make decisions, and ensure that I was on track for the entire planning process. She has an extremely positive attitude and is so incredibly kind. On the day of the wedding, she was AMAZING. Everything was literally perfect. I can't imagine working with any other company!

eased so much of my wedding stress and made the day a breeze. Despite the challenging weather on the day of my wedding (cold and rainy), Anna was confident, efficient, kind, positive, and always had my best interests at hand. I can't thank her enough for all of her kindness, support, and reassurance from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend working with this fabulous group of women. I promise you won't regret it!

ve and work with! They know exactly what they are doing. Excellent communication and they stay on top of everything. If you need something they will make it happen for you. They went out of their way several times to make sure everything was perfect for us. I highly recommend them to anyone, it was the best money spent for our wedding. Love love love the Pinnacle team!

eat advice, was always responsive, and I truly have no complaints. I can't recommend her enough! She was so incredibly helpful and gave us the wedding of our dreams, without all the stress and pressure falling on me. She constantly checked in with me, refilled my drink, and I'm really grateful to have had her there keeping everything on track!

nd when you speak with your personal planner is long, and I experienced some frustrations the week of my wedding. My personal planner was Hayli, who was wonderful to work with. Overall my wedding ended up absolutely fantastic, especially with much assistance from friends/family who last minute helped with setup/breakdown after I was told that the original person from Pinnacle who was supposed to work my wedding did not know he had a wedding to work, and so my planner’s husband was going to take his place, but it was going to cost a good chunk of change due to an increase in what the set up layout involved. I was very upset as I was emailed this 2 days prior to my wedding and was made to feel that I had expected free help from Pinnacle’s part (which was untrue) and, in addition, had been (or was going to be) working my planner extra hours and in general above her duties (I asked Hayli several times if that was the case and she said no, and if I was I would expect her to speak up directly to me). I was never given a quote to begin with for the setup/break down help, and I was happy to hire the rental company to do so, but was told Pinnacle would have someone who I would pay, and it was not made clear to me that we would need both—and if we did, why is it just now being looked at? I had the setup finalized by summer on the website. The only changes from our initial conversation back in February were an additional set of garden padded chairs instead of only one type (that would have been moved to a second space later) and I wanted different chairs inside, which now needed some cushions tied on. Maybe I took this too personally, but I was incredibly hurt by the email, as I had taken extra precaution to try and make everyone’s jobs easier. I am very grateful for my friends/family who agreed to help with setup/breakdown and the whole day was completed in less than the 10 hours contracted. Linda did send me an apology email, and offered to pay for Hayli’s husband’s help, however after already recruiting help and feeling how I did, I did not want that. Again, I want to emphasize that this day could not have gone as beautifully as it did without Hayli. Wedding day, the place was GORGEOUS and Hayli kept two Christian/Hindu ceremonies coordinated and adjusted the times as needed, which is no easy task. This was her first Hindu wedding, and I didn’t have much I could tell her ahead of time, but she rolled with the punches. She made sure both my husband and I had food/water, and some time away from everyone to breathe. She very quickly learned about us and what was important to us, and that meant a lot to me. I am frustrated that I am missing two items from my personal decor—a wooden sign and one cake topper—the second having significant sentimental value, as it is of my dog whom I lost unexpectedly, but now all efforts are up to me to find these items. I also had bad luck with my rental vendor especially in the last month, and wish I had more hands-on help with that. I am very grateful for Pinnacle Weddings, but wish the communication was better (as we don't all do this for a living) and foremost instead of the money aspect, especially when it is last minute and you’re in your most vulnerable state.

d them more!

As a planner myself, I thought I would have a hard time letting go of checking on all of the details and making sure everything was exactly as I wanted it. This wasn’t the case at all because I 100% trusted Anna and she delivered every step of the way. Our day would not have been the same without her and we are forever grateful.

responsive. She was communicative throughout the entire process and I can honestly say wedding planning was not stressful for me whatsoever. Much of that is due to her team! The lead planner on our wedding - Sabrina - was incredible, to say the least. She was organized, kind, patient, and most importantly genuinely wanted us to have the best day. She was receptive to my opinions and ideas, and because of her, we were able to have a completely stress-free day and focus on having fun rather than logistical details. I would highly recommend Pinnacle Weddings not only because of their stellar planners, but they are truly a joy to work with!

ed the most magical wedding day for us. Linda is SO FUN to work with and her team is the REAL deal. Our appreciation is truly immeasurable. We love you and appreciate you, Pinnacle Wedding team!

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.

rs without our guests knowing anything had changed. A few things were kept outside and she was able to find us heaters the day of the wedding which I know was no easy feat! She also mentioned that during the reception she was going to make sure I ate since most brides get too busy but her and her assistant had food and drinks for me every time I sat down. Having a planner was something I was a bit hesitant about but I truly could not have done this without her expertise and patience and my only regret was not booking her sooner. Thank you for a memorable wedding!

th my other vendors. Our Wedding was executed without one single bump! The planning tools that Linda provides you guides you every step of the way. Living in Detroit and getting married in Charleston South Carilina. Linda and her team took all the worry away about not being present using Zoom meeting and conference calls. Pinnacle Weddings Planning is BEST in CLASS!

wedding was supposed to be outside as well as the reception. Pinnacle fought for me to have my wedding ceremony outside despite the on and off rain. They knew having the ceremony outside was the most important thing to me. They worked with Wild Dunes and fought for me on my wedding day to make my dream come true. They moved my entire ceremony under a tent in the pouring rain. They were running moving chairs, flower arrangements, and a large arbor! It was unbelievable to see people so dedicated to making my dream of getting married outside still happen. Not only did they relocate my ceremony, they also relocated the reception indoors. My wedding planner Carrie and the owner Linda loaded up DJ Davis’s truck making multiple trips in the pouring rain to move flowers, decorations, tables, chairs, and the arbor indoors. Carrie was standing in the back of the DJs truck holding the arbor in the rain. Davis the DJ helped set up votives and decorations. Linda was in the bathroom with me helping prepare me for my introduction into the reception while Carrie bustled my wedding dress. Pinnacle is literally a team company that goes all in. It doesn’t matter if you are a DJ if you work for pinnacle you maybe setting up candles and table cloths because they don’t just do one task they do it all! I cannot say enough about this company from the owner to every employee. These are the people you want by your side on your wedding day, I promise you.

e, immediately responding to any email questions we had. The level of organization and degree of responsiveness are huge strengths across the entire team and allowed for our wedding day to be incredibly successful. During the actual day Anna was very organized and worked behind the scenes to ensure the day flowed seamlessly without us having to do a thing. Anna ensured we had no pressure on our shoulders and DJ Davis had the dance floor packed from the time it opened until the very last song. Anyone looking for a planner or DJ needs to look no further. Thank you to the entire team! - Kelsey and Oliver

venue changes and we can’t imagine having planned our wedding without her. She kept us on track with our monthly calls and telling us what things we needed to remember and be thinking about/focused on. We appreciated her guidance on everything from décor, details and colors to layout, flow and timeline. She knows how a fun and enjoyable wedding should be run, what to look for in good vendors and how to work with those vendors to bring out the best in the vision of your wedding. Linda and Hayli (one of Linda’s top planners) made our day run incredibly smoothly. If anything went wrong, we didn’t know about it because they handled everything seamlessly. They made sure we were well-fed and had drinks in our hands at all times. Linda sweetly reminded me and my parents before we walked down the aisle to take our time and soak in the moment. If there’s anything you want to happen, she will make it happen for you. Her work on the timeline made the day so relaxed, unrushed and not stressful. She truly cares about her clients and that meant a lot to us. It was such a joy working with her and we have been sad after the wedding to no longer have our wedding calls with her. We love you Linda! Thank you for making our dream wedding come true <3

delivered on all those and so much more! We went with Pinnacle's photographer James who was amazing. He understood how important family and friend time was to us and managed to balance prioritizing pictures without pulling us from the fun! Every vendor Amy recommended was professional, talented, and made our day perfect. The week of the wedding Amy was everything a bride needs! Despite a crazy (!!) thunderstorm, Amy knew how badly we wanted to be married outside and without missing a beat turned our venues porch into something truly magical. Thank you Pinnacle and thank you Amy!

e we stayed on track (we had the month of package). They were kind and put so much effort in to make us feel extra special. When it came to the day of, they were kind to my family and guest, always making sure to stay on the timeline we had planned while also making sure we had the best time. I truly appreciate all the effort they put in.

e! We had a surprise shower day of while things were getting set up and Linda handled it from dealing with the vendors to re-planning the layout so nothing would be rained on! The Pinnacle team really is worth their weight in gold for day of coordination! Linda is also such an amazing person and it has been so nice to get to know her. We can’t thank them enough!

a caterer two days before our wedding day because the original backed out! Because of her wide variety of contacts she was able to find someone that same day! She also was always helping us come up with creative ideas to stay under budget. To top everything else, she is one of the most incredible people we have ever known. She has definitely become part of our family! Carrie and Amy were our day of planners, she was on top of everything! They communicated with all the vendors a couple of days before the wedding to ensure that everyone understood their assignments. They also made sure to communicate our expectations properly to all the vendors. This made the day of the wedding so effortless, because everyone was on the same page. Carrie and Amy were a vital part of ensuring that our expectations were exceeded! We had the most beautiful day, thanks to the Pinnacle Team!

y to requests, and provided multiple options with vendors to suit our budget. Regular updates, which are so important when the bride is in town but Mom is helping to plan from afar. She puts her heart and soul into her job, and it is so evident when everything comes together like clockwork on the big day! The level of care and the ability to roll effortlessly with necessary changes was amazing to witness. We truly felt as though she was helping to plan the wedding of a member of her own family, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy the planning process. She is a gift to the industry, and any bride would be blessed to have such talent and enthusiasm in her corner when planning the most special day of her life! She is a treasure!!!
