Sarah Lillie Designs

If you're looking for a wedding planner with exceptional taste, an amazing personality, proven vendor relationships/connections, and years of experience to achieve your wildest wedding dreams - Lillie is everything and more! We planned our Kiawah Island wedding from out of state, and Lillie made every part of our wedding planning experience feel seamless. From her excellent (and quick) communication to her positivity in every possible situation, Lillie was fully present and supportive throughout each stage of the planning process. Whether you and your partner come into your wedding with a strong vision for your wedding day or are looking for guidance from an experienced planner, Lillie knows how to perfectly assess your needs and provide 100% support along the way. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives from start to finish, and we were blown away by Lillie's ability to put together an event better than we ever imagined. We are just so thankful we had the opportunity to partner with Lillie and her amazing team!

Lillie went above and beyond our every expectation. There is not a high enough rating for Lillie. She listened and turned our vision into reality.

As the groom, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into with planning a wedding. So many decisions to make about dates and venues and locations. It was a lot. Lillie helped me be a big part of bringing it all together with my now wife and absolutely CRUSHED it. The day was absolutely incredible and full of so much joy. I felt like I was just as involved as my beautiful bride. Lillie helped guide us with every aspect while inspiring creativity I did not even know I cared about. The confetti cannons were a nice touch and she made sure we got our special confetti pictures. She was an expert in color and design and kept the theme on point, even when I started getting some crazy ideas. Honestly her attention to detail is unmatched, her kindness is surreal, and her design skills are unrivaled! Lillie had so many great connections with vendors who she guided with our vision in mind. I did not know what to expect when I first proposed. Stepped into a whirlwind of decisions, design, and wedding magic. Lillie gave me and my wife a wedding I never knew I would be a star of. It was truly magical.

Lillie made our wedding dreams come true. It was truly an unbelievable day and we are still beaming the biggest smiles ever as husband and wife. Knowing we wanted a “destination” wedding we quickly zeroed in on Charleston and Lillie quickly got to work scouting venues for our perfect day. She was our guiding light from the linens, to teaching us about charger plates and design, drawing up vision boards to show us the looks. She absolutely nailed it. As a couple from out of state who planned a destination wedding for 80 guests, what started as a “we just want to show up” turned into absolute perfection. She made everything a seamless process even though we were out of state. She kept us updated but also kept us to a timeline that made sense so we did not get ahead of ourselves. She kept us cool when we were over thinking, and kept us engaged when we were feeling overwhelmed. Lillie guided us on every little detail. Those details are what made the wedding. The timeline was so spot on and our guests are still talking about all the perfect little details that made our day so special. Her creativity is unmatched, she is beyond professional, organized, responsive and knowledgeable about her craft. She was so excited about our unique flower seating chart and showing us she truly loves what she does. She is very involved and provides value to the planning process making you feel like you’re the only bride and groom she’s working with. She contemplates details we would never think about, explores ideas you bring to her and provides honest opinions, and anticipates problems before they occur. We truly felt like guests at our own wedding and were blown away. Lillie really shined with helping develop our theme and color scheme. We were able to bounce ideas off her and she would get excited along with us. In the constant barrage of social media influence, she knew all the trends and what would truly be important to make our day special and intimate. In person meetings with an amazing florist, she knew perfect flowers for the occasion which was not our specialty. She explained everything and added pictures to a vision board for us to see how everything would tie together. She provided so much inspiration but made sure that we had final say in everything. Every vendor she led us to was exquisite and detail oriented just like Lillie. She even drove us non-driving New Yorkers around to our vendor appointments and tastings. Both of us (bride and groom) felt very involved in every aspect of our wedding. She helped us find inspiration in things we did not even know we cared about. Even the groom started bouncing ideas off of Lillie because she got him so excited for our special day. In today’s fast paced world, it is easy for people to let the small details slide. Lillie was there with us every step of the way and gave not only us, but our family and friends too, a wedding to remember for the rest of our lives. We can’t wait to plan our 10th anniversary with her, lol.

Lillie is one of the main reasons our wedding was as perfect as it was! Throughout the whole planning process, Lillie was so patient, reassuring, organized and extremely helpful. Every thought, question, concern we had Lillie was there with the answer or solution right away. Communication was easy even when I was deployed half way across the country, she still made it work for us! She took a lot of pressure off of us and made sure we were solely focused on each other and having a good time day of the wedding. Lillie and her team were there every step of the way, making sure everyone including us, vendors, family and even our wedding guests were taken care of. Words cannot express how grateful Reid and I are for Lillie and I highly, highly, highly recommend her as a planner to anyone getting married! We love Lillie and have cherished every moment working with her! Thank you times a million. <3

Lillie was referred to me by a friend and was excellent. I am not local to Charleston so she was exceedingly helpful in finding venue/vendors . She executed my vision while also helping to keep everything in order in the months/weeks/days leading up to our wedding. She was present the entire evening of our wedding to ensure our intimate day was just how we had envisioned. I could not recommend her highly enough!

Lillie with Sarah Lillie Designs is so talented and was so wonderful to work with for our December 2021 wedding in Charleston. She was there for us every step of the way! As an out-of-town bride, Lillie’s recommendations and knowledge of local vendors was helpful and her incredible organizational skills kept us on schedule and ensured nothing was overlooked. Lillie took our creative vision and built us the wedding of our dreams. Lillie is endlessly patient and answered our many (many!) questions during the planning process and was there whenever we needed her on the wedding day. Everyone in our family not only adored working with Lillie but getting to know her as well. Lillie truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect.

Sarah Lillie Designs was the party planner for our Anniversary Party. We can’t adequately express the value add Lillie brought to our event. Lillie’s creative ideas, attention to detail, thorough communication and defined process allowed our party to be both fun for us and our guests. We would highly recommend Sarah Lillie Designs.

Sarah Lillie Designs, Lillie was AMAZING. I am so glad we decided to go with a wedding planner for our wedding. With Zach & I’s crazy work schedules due to our military service, Lillie took the reigns, our vision, our budget into mind. She was even there during some of our uncertain moments, providing order to chaos. She made it easy & all we had to do was make a few decisions, show up, & enjoy it all. After our wedding, many of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended before. What an honor. The evening went flawlessly because of her due diligence! She even assisted with our rehearsal, ensuring the processional and recessional ran smoothly. I am forever indebted to Lillie. We trust her, we are grateful for her friendship, professionalism, and dedication to making this the most perfect day. This was the best day of our lives. All thanks to her attention to detail, knowledge of the wedding industry, and creativity! Thank you Lillie!

Lillie was the perfect person to plan our wedding! We started planning just before Covid and she helped us make the necessary adjustments flawlessly. We wanted something fairly intimate and she had some amazing ideas and came up with some thoughtful touches that made our wedding so memorable! She has a great relationship with a lot of different vendors and also has a lot of experience in the industry, which was extremely helpful! She was wonderful to work with and I wish we had another wedding to plan together because it was SO much fun! Thank you Lillie!!!!

I couldn't be happier that I was connected with Lillie to plan my wedding. Planning in 2020 was obviously not ideal but Lillie took everything in stride and made me feel confident and comfortable with the entire process. She is super knowledgeable about the wedding industry in Charleston. I knew little to nothing about the industry and trusted Lillie with everything from aesthetics to layout to vendors, and I'm so happy I did because our wedding was flawless. During the planning process, she was super helpful and kind when it came to budget cuts and decisions. She was incredibly organized but creative and I trusted her taste which was vital to me. She took my personal aesthetic and planned the perfect wedding for me. I can't recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Lillie as my wedding planner. I absolutely LOVED working with her! She was SO helpful and flexible when rescheduling our wedding date due to COVID (also not local to Charleston) and helped me plan it perfectly. She is so knowledgeable, organized, and creative! She truly understood my vision and made it come to life while always considering my budget! She made sure every detail was taken care of and was always positive/a calming force :). I can't thank her enough for our perfect day and ABSOLUTELY recommend her - you need her on your special day! She's the best!

Lillie was IMPERATIVE when it came to the ins and outs of our wedding. She was THE reason my wedding went off without any hitches. Lillie has the special quality of balancing organization, creativity, and professionalism all in one, and is a delight to work with. She is so knowledgable about what it takes to put on your dream wedding, but is also very cognizant of your budget. She keeps you on track while also balancing your special days specific wants and vision. For the best day ever spent with your friends, family and love of your life - trust me, you NEED Lillie.

Where do I begin! I absolutely loved working with Lillie as my Wedding Planner. Our Wedding was during COVID which comes with a whole unique set of challenges and Lillie was on top of it every step of the way. She consistently went above and beyond, texting/calling with me/the venue to check in on changes, unprompted. Having Lillie as my Wedding Planner was the best money I ever spent on my wedding. I personally went with the Partial Wedding Planning package and looking back, wish I would have done full so I could have had her help and guidance from the start of wedding planning all the way to the finish. Lillie provided 'day of' templates and checklists, she made my entire timeline down to the 10 minute increment and helped me work within the timelines booked at the venue so I didn't go over and have to pay extra, she provided suggestions on vendors, rehearsal walk through the day before, she contacting the vendors to confirm details on orders/payment/dropoff/pickup, she did day-of set up (which was A LOT…a whole jeep full), she dropped off flowers to me for my pictures, helped me when I needed something day of…the list goes on and on and on. A true orchestrator! Those small details that a bride stresses about on the day-of to make it perfect, Lillie did all of those for us and more. As a non-local bride, I really appreciated the suggestions on local vendors that she had too and on the day-of and guidance on all things Charleston so I could have a dream wedding day & weekend. Not only that but she knew every vendor already just from her years of experience in the industry. It put me and my family at ease that the day would go off without a hitch – and it did! Lillie has an outgoing, bubbly personality and is someone I’d be friends with if I lived in Charleston :) She is an exceptional Wedding Planner! If you’re looking for a reason to book, look no further. This is your sign.
