Working with Spellbound Events for our wedding was an incredible experience from start to finish.

Working with Spellbound Events was an absolute joy and seamless experience from beginning to end. Leah is detail oriented, honest, and helped me find vendors that could execute my vision within my budget. She truly understood my vision from the start and executed it above and beyond my expectations. On the day of the wedding she ensured that everything went smoothly and I didn't have to deal with a single vendor so I could enjoy the day with my family and friends. I am so grateful that I found Leah and couldn't have asked for a more perfect planner for my wedding! <3

Working with Spellbound Events was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process! We worked with Mandalynn and from the first phone call I felt like we clicked. She understood our vision for our wedding day perfectly and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. Mandalynn is so organized, has a calming presence, and executed our wedding day FLAWLESSLY. It truly was the best day thank you to her & the rest of the Spellbound team. If you are questioning whether you need a full service planner - you absolutely do! It is so worth it. I would recommend Mandalynn and Spellbound Events over & over again. Thank you for doing what you do!

Truly can't even put into words how great our experience with Spellbound Events was. Mandalynn was our wedding planner and she was AMAZING. From the very beginning she was there to answer questions, offer support, and keep us on track. The attention to detail throughout the whole process was above and beyond. As a bride, I never felt stressed about details, vendors, orders, or logistics. Mandalynn made sure everything was taken care of. She took time to meet with us as a couple, getting to know us and our vision for our special day. She listened and created a plan that we followed throughout. It was nice to not have to worry about the little details and trust that the Spellbound team was creating our vision.
On the day of the wedding, Mandalynn was the calm presence we all needed. She kept a calm demeanor and was there to guide everyone and answer all questions. Mandalynn was well organized and kept to a timeline and schedule. You can't go wrong with Spellbound Events and their incredible team! They help make our vision a reality and made sure the entire wedding process, including the day of, went smoothly!!

Both Mandalynn and Camila were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning experience and wedding day! We worked with Mandalynn throughout our planning process and she was absolutely amazing - every detail and step was conscientiously managed and she brought such creativity and fun to the process - not to mention the fact that she is a wonderfully kind person! On the day of, both Mandalynn and Camila were the MVPs! Every detail was flawlessly executed from our timeline to our decor to vendor coordination which truly allowed us to enjoy ourselves and take in every moment. They handled every single moment with the utmost kindness and grace and truly were invaluable! I would highly recommend anyone to work with them as we had the most amazing experience and truly benefitted from their expertise.

We had the pleasure of working with Mandalynn on the planning process and Camila on the day of our wedding in Charleston, SC. Throughout the entire planning process, Mandalynn was friendly, easy to work with, patient with us, and responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. Our wedding day with Camila was stress-free and words cannot describe how thankful we are to the Spellbound Events team. We were never pushed to make a choice we weren't financially comfortable with and we would not have wanted our wedding day to go any other way.

Nothing but amazing things to say about Spellbound Events, specifically Mandalynn. I opted for the partial wedding planning package and although it was only "partial" it felt like it was full service. It was extremely easy to get in contact with Mandalynn even during the beginning stages. She reassured me and kept me stress-free throughout the entire process. The day of the wedding, Mandalynn and her assistant were ANGELS. I genuinely didn't have to worry about a single thing. I highly recommend Spellbound Events team for any event planning/design service. They are truly the best!!!!

Can’t even begin to express how happy and magical and perfect our wedding was thanks to Spellbound Events. From the beginning I knew that Mandalynn was the perfect wedding planner to help us bring to life our most precious weekend! She was so fun to work with and always had so much energy and excitement for all the details, process, and planning. All I had to do was share with her our ideas of what we liked and she immediately pulled together the most fantastic styles, decor, vendors, etc. that matched our energy and vibes. During the wedding planning process, my friends would ask me how I was so zen and I would tell them it was thanks to Mandalynn and her team!! So so glad I had the chance to work with her and the team at Spellbound.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mandalynn and her amazing team at Spellbound Evets who went above and beyond to make my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding unforgettable. Over the past year, she was the rock we clung to. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was super easy to work with, always available to answer our questions, offer guidance, and her attention to detail was truly impressive. She has plenty of experience and great ideas. All the stress of planning a destination wedding in Charleston was taken away and we were able to enjoy the whole process. We had to travel to Charleston just once! for the final tasting and rental selections. Her vendor’s suggestions were on point with my daughter’s vision. At the wedding date, our guests were blown away by the attention to details and her presence every step of the way. We didn't have to worry about a thing - we felt so reassured that she had everything sorted! My advice to those that want an outstanding wedding planner, use Mandalynn and Spellbound Events services because, I promise, it is worth it!!

We could not have chosen a better wedding planner for our September nuptials. We chose to go with the wedding management package and the Spellbound Events team was a great resource throughout the entire process. All of their vendor recommendations were extremely helpful along with the management system that we were granted access to.
We specifically worked with Leah who was my absolute saving grace wedding weekend. Her calmness relaxed my nerves and she really took care of every need we had. This team will provide you with the support you need any beyond!

Working with Spellbound Events for our wedding was the best decision that we made! Could not recommend them more. We worked primarily with Leah and she was the most amazing resource through the whole process. She truly made the planning process fun and has the most calming presence in a hectic time. She worked with the vendors to make our vision come to life and the day could not have gone more perfectly. Whether you have a set vision or a vague idea of what you want the vibe of the day to be, Spellbound can help bring the event to life. Mandalynn was also there for us on the day-of and they made the perfect team. You will have nothing to worry about on the day of if you use Spellbound Events. The best part is Leah and Mandalynn just feel like friends that were at our wedding!
Leah also helped with our Friday events (a bridal shower and rehearsal dinner/welcome party) which was amazing. She was responsive and proactive and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will always look back with such happiness at our entire wedding process!

Leah and Mandalynn were amazing to work with! From designing the PERFECT vibe, to handling any issues that popped up during the wedding (which I didn't even know about until the next day), I couldn't be more grateful to have had their support.
They perfectly executed my vision, and were so relaxed every step of the way. I am so thankful to them both for helping our dream turn into a reality! Having Leah as my right hand was crucial, and I think I would have had a MUCH different experience in planning without her support.
Thank you Spellbound!!! (photos in review by Annie Piland Photography)

first off if your reading this review and wondering if you actually need a planner the answer is absolutely yes. A wedding is typically a large investment of money, time, and memories. Camila was amazing and maintained a calm reassurance throughout the whole rollercoaster that is wedding planning. We planned a wedding in Charleston from CT and relied 100% on Camilas expertise. Every vendor she recommended felt curated for us, from photographer, florals, band, rentals . She was able to create the wedding of my dreams, which is remarkable on its own and an olympic triumph when you throw in a natural disaster. The week or so heading into our wedding Camila reached out to my then fiancé to create a contingency plan due to a hurricane. This allowed me to maintain an oblivious calm pretending our 3 years of planning wasn’t in danger, and a few days before was presented with an option where miraculously every single vendor was able to move back one day to sunday. Not only did we still have a picturesque day due to Camila’s recommendation of wedding insurance we saved $20k+. Could not recommend more.

You want Camila and the Spellbound events team there on your wedding day, trust us! Words don’t even do her justice. Camila helped us create the perfect wedding from day 1. While looking at venues, picking table linens, helping create a menu, executing the most beautiful day from start to finish- Camila was there every step of the way. She helped us hand pick each vendor from our big day, giving us options for everything that fit our exact vibe and budget! And she fuckin nailed it! She helped us assemble a team of vendors that not only felt like friends, but also were insanely talented. In addition, Camila was available, approachable, and responsive through the whole process over two years. She can diffuse any situation and address any concerns big or small. She provided invaluable guidance with large issues such as budget questions but was still also critically helpful with smaller details down to place setting. No matter how serious or flippant a question is she never made us feel dumb, judged, or crazy! Plus, Camila is just a super cool person and we feel like she became a trusted friend. Our wedding day went so smoothly because of Camila and the Spellbound team- we didn’t have to think about any of the details that day except enjoying the moment! And we sure did! When people ask us what our advice is for wedding planning, we will always say to hire a planner- and Camila is the one you want!

I knew from the beginning the team at Spellbound was going to be a perfect match for our day and I’m so glad we trusted Mandalynn and Leah to help make our vision come to life. We really wanted our day to be a representation of our personalities and had some unique requests that they were so on board with and gave us the PERFECT vendor suggestions to match our vibe. With Charleston being a destination for our entire group, it was great to have this team to help navigate the months leading up to it and keep us on track. On the big day, I never once felt stressed or worried and while I know retrospectively there were minor hiccups throughout the day, we never felt them. If you want your dream wedding to become a reality, I would recommend Spellbound 1000%. I just wish all my friends would get married in Charleston so I can hang with these ladies more often!

Long story short, our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without the support of Mandalynn Schwartz from Spellbound Events.
Since Day 1, Mandalynn was by our side helping us to plan for our big day in Charleston, SC, and the overall service that was provided to us was impeccable. The wedding planning tools / schedules / checklists that were provided by Spellbound helped us ensure that we wouldn't miss a single aspect of what needed to be done in preparation for our wedding day and when it came time, we couldn't have been more pleased with how smooth the whole weekend went.
We would recommend Spellbound Events to all who are considering a Wedding Planner and am so thankful we made the ultimate decision to work with them from start to finish. THANK YOU!!

I can’t even stress how amazing Mandalynn was. I’m so sad the wedding is over and we are no longer working together. She was the best hype woman on the wedding day and brought the vision I had in my head to life. I would recommend her and spellbound to everyone. Even Camila came to say Hi on the wedding day and it was just so sweet. 100000/10 recommend.

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars honestly. We worked with Mandalynn for our wedding at Pepper Plantation and from day 1, she was the most helpful, kind, understanding person and she is, beyond any reasonable doubt, the single reason our wedding was a dream come true. Mandalynn was such a genuinely kind and helpful person - from providing vendor suggestions, to keeping us on track with planning tasks, to doing final vendor contacts (considering we were out of state), and doing EVERYTHING the day of to make sure we didn’t have to worry or do anything - she did it all. I could not recommend Spellbound (and Mandalynn specifically) more. Thank you again, Spellbound team, for such an amazing and perfect day!!!

We had the most incredible experience planning our wedding with Mandalynn. First of all, she is the funniest, nicest and most down to earth person! We instantly felt like she was our best friend and she really went above and beyond for us. It's hard to believe that she was managing other weddings because that's how much it felt that she was always available and supportive of our wedding. On the day of, I was really nervous to read my vows and she literally did breathing exercises with me! It made things flow so much easier knowing that she was there and had everything under control. I can't say enough good things! You have to use Spellbound if you plan on getting married in Charleston.

Camila is absolutely amazing! I could not image what my wedding planning experience nor my weeding day would have been like without her. Charleston is a destination location for us and having Camila's professional and local expertise was essential for making our wedding day vision come to life. Sometimes its hard to see how all the different aspects will all come together but I had all confidence that Camila would see it through and SHE DID!
She took all the inspiration I gave her and helped picked out vendors that matched the look and feel I was going for. Her chill vibe was invaluable whenever I wasn't sure about something. She was always willing to provide her opinion when I wanted/needed it but also was never over bearing or pushing about anything.
During the wedding day I didn't have to worry about a thing. She took care of all the vendors, made sure we stayed on our timeline, and all the behind the scenes tasks in order for the day to go seamlessly.
I highly recommend Camila to anyone planning a wedding! You will be thankful to have someone like her have your back though such a big time in your life!

Mandalynn at Spellbound Events went above and beyond to help us plan our dream Charleston wedding. Coming from out of town, it was reassuring to us to have someone local to the Charleston area to answer all of our questions and help us plan our destination wedding. Mandalynn helped us take our ideas and made them into a wedding we couldn’t even dream of. She brought our ideas to life. Mandalynn was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire planning process. She gave wonderful vendor recommendations and helped with the communication throughout the months leading to the wedding. We are so thankful for Mandalynn and her hard work to make our wedding the most perfect day for us. Thank you for everything!!

If you are looking for a team to make your nontraditional wedding dreams come true, Spellbound Events are the right planners for you! Mandalynn was thoughtful, organized, respectful, and nothing short of amazing. She made the entire day run so smoothly, and singlehandedly saved our wedding from disaster a few times over. Our families were both hesitant about our plans, but she knew just what to say to reassure them. She took our vague vision of having a non-traditional wedding that incorporated both our backgrounds, and turned it into something real and beautiful. We really cannot say enough nice things about her and the team at Spellbound. Hire these people! You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Mandalynn and Spellbound Events for all your help and planning to make sure that our daughter and now, husband, had the wedding of their dreams! You made sure that their vision was realized and as the mother of the bride, you responded to all my questions and concerns with both understanding and reassurance. All our vendors were sure to let us know how much they loved working with you. That was a wonderful feeling for us too! The day of the wedding, we were given the utmost attention and care. You

Mandalynn was so quick to answer all of our questions - both big and small. She also had all of the best vendor recommendations and helped to coordinate between all of them leading up to our big day. Her design helped create the most beautiful wedding and bring our vision to life. I trusted every single piece of advice and recommendation because she is just the best at what she does! Not only that, but her presence and calm manner helped us truly enjoy the planning process leading up to our wedding - and helped us to just relax and enjoy every moment on our big day!
We are so happy that Mandalynn & Spellbound were apart of our special day - thank you for everything!

Planning a destination wedding of 100+ guests is no easy feat, but Camila made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, and we truly don't know what we would have done without her and her team. She will simplify the process, give helpful tips, and make your wedding spectacular. Thank you for everything, Camila!

Camilia was my secret weapon, She is the first vendor I think of when I look back on our big day. She made all my dreams come to life. Planning a Halloween themed Destination wedding was a task bigger than I anticipated, especially during a pandemic. I was not able to meet any vendor until day off and she made me feel beyond organized and prepared. Her ideas were so creative and she dealt with all my theatrics with class. (I’m a lot) Her package includes the most helpful spreadsheets. We stayed on budget (all the groom cared about) and organized, her tools made everything fun. I am so grateful I hired such a professional, kind, and efficient planner. She was there for me every step of the way! The day of I woke up and floated through my day with no stress. I am still getting texts about our big day the entire event was magical. Being on the other side of this event I would highly recommend if you are apprehensive about if you need a planner, the answer is 1000x YES. The operation is meant to be enjoyed by you and all your guests. Having spellbound handle the little details was worth every penny. You need to hire Spellbound before your date is gone. I’m so proud to say I had a spellbound event.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Spellbound Events, and Mandalynn is your go-to gal for whatever event you need. She helped me plan my entire wedding in around 7 months. She is so easy-going, listens incredibly well, is so creative, and generally just made the wedding planning process fun and as easy as possible. I couldn't have asked for a more genuine, kind, and organized person to help plan my wedding! The vendors she suggested were TOP NOTCH. You won't go wrong choosing her as your planner!!

People ask all the time if we used a wedding planner and if it was necessary…I can easily say we would not have been able to plan or execute this magical day without not only a wedding planner, but specifically Camila and her team. Every step of the way, Camila was my go to check in, my trusted advice, and our friend! She made us feel like we were in such good hands, especially as we planned our wedding from a different state in the middle of COVID.
The day of our November wedding I didn’t worry about a single thing knowing Camila was at our venue first thing in the morning. Everything was flawless. Her execution of my dream wedding day was exactly how I pictured it. I remember asking Camila—how do we know that everything will just fit together and work—she said just trust me. She was right! Everything that could have been controlled and planned was exceptional. When it started pouring rain the morning of our wedding—and didn’t stop—Camila didn’t miss a beat. She handled the weather like everything else that day, with ease. It was the best day of our lives, and I can say with certainty it wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Mandalynn was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! We were planning our event from cross country and Mandalynn went above and beyond to help us get organized and find vendors. She helped us handle any hiccup or unexpected event, setting our fears at ease. After an unexpected illness, she even went the extra mile to make sure we had appropriate planners and staff to work with us the day of the wedding since she was no longer able to attend. She worked everything out before even contacting me, once again keeping me calm! I could not recommend her and the Spellbound team enough!!

Mandalynn from Spellbound Events was the best! She provided us with her expertise and kept us organized and on track in planning our elopement. On the day of, she helped to put our dreams together by coordinating our deliveries and decorating our venue. Our officiant called us just hours before our ceremony was supposed to start to tell us he was positive for COVID and she was able to find a last minute stand in for us. She was caring, understanding and felt like a part of our family on our day. We could not have had the beautiful day that we had without her help.

It is hard to know exactly where to start this review, but I will try my best. From the first moment we spoke to Camila I knew she was our person. Being from Charleston but living in NYC and planning our Charleston wedding we knew we needed someone who truly got us and man did she. She heard and knew our vision from day one- even all of our crazy ideas. She gave amazing input, feedback and help anywhere we needed it from both a budget and creative perspective. Then COVID 19 happened and everything changed. Our plans had to shift and our "roll with the punches" attitude had to come into focus. All the while (and this is her superpower) Camila remained cool, calm and collected. She weathers the storm flawlessly and helped us navigate such uncharted waters. Ultimately, we had a perfect wedding. She lead a tight ship but also was so insanely helpful, kind and so damn good at what she does! She is a leader, a visionary and someone who truly gave us a day that we, our families and our friends could never forget. We are so grateful she agreed to work with us and looking back- our gut was right- she was our gal! Wherever you are at in the wedding planning process I would highly advise booking her FIRST! Her insights are invaluable, her passion is palpable and her love is consuming and that is all you could ever dream of for your planner!!

Camila was awesome! Super chill in a way that’s calming! From her checklists at the beginning of the process to her set up on the day of was very detailed and helpful. I truly felt like she had mine and Dalton’s best interest at heart for the whole wedding process whether it came to drama, organizing vendors, setting up items, or the overall flow of the wedding. I would have been an absolute wreck without her and planning from afar is not easy!! She was always there to listen and give advice and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! So thankful for this team!

BEST DECISION I made for my wedding was hiring Mandalynn as my day of coordinator. She was so sweet, helpful & supportive in answering any and all of the questions I had, and responded right away. I took more of a DIY approach with planning - and the excel sheet they provided was SO helpful in helping me to stay on task & pay attention to all of the little details I wasn't thinking about. On my wedding day, it POURED rain. Like monsoon level type stuff. Mandalynn expertly coordinated with all of the vendors to make any changes, created a whole new layout, and secured tent panels all last minute. Mandalynn and Camilla were total ROCKSTARS on my wedding day!! Even with all the rain, my wedding was everything I dreamt it would be, and I owe it all to these ladies. They took all of the ideas I had swimming around in my head, and all of my DIY wedding decor, and turned it into a unique masterpiece - all in the middle of a crazy rain storm with smiles on. Honestly, we didn't even notice the torrential downpour because the event was so perfect. When the event was over, they packed all of my stuff up so nicely, it took my parents all of 10 minutes to load it up. Rain, shine, or monsoon - you will want these ladies on your team to make all your wedding dreams come true. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

What can I say about Camila? She was the first person I connected with when I was trying to figure out if we could make a Charleston wedding work, and I am so glad she was. She was truly one of the reasons we decided to move forward with our destination wedding! She was honest, caring, and truly never missed a beat. There was no phone call or email that she did not answer whenever I needed. Planning a wedding is so stressful, but in Camila I found comfort. Every vendor she recommended was also spot on. From the bottom of my heart, do not hesitate to work with Spellbound events. You will not regret it!

Where do I even begin? Spellbound Events was exactly what we needed. We planned a 200 person destination wedding in Charleston, SC that was abruptly changed last minute to a 30 person micro-wedding in NC due to the pandemic. Camila rolled with the punches seamlessly and was a rockstar even though it was a venue she'd never been to before (because she typically doesn't do weddings outside of the Charleston area).
I interviewed countless wedding coordinators/planners before Camila, but once I heard her calming voice over the phone--it was a done deal! She's unlike a lot of the planners in the area for many reasons but the most important to me personally being that she is inclusive and understands BIPOC brides. She was the perfect balance of a friend and a professional vendor. She is extremely knowledgeable, creative, very responsive (even when she had a newborn), organized, freakishly calm and calming, and extremely trustworthy and dependable... especially when it came to the days leading up to the wedding day and on the actually game day itself. She took initiation and filled in the gaps for the little things we didn't think about as well.
Our wedding day was truly perfect. And my now husband and I rave all the time about how smart of a decision it was for us to have hired Spellbound Events. We couldn't say enough good about them!

Camila is hands down the best wedding planner we could have asked for. Could not recommend Spellbound Events more! She is extremely organized and responsive, and also one of the kindest humans ever! Camila is also an extremely calming person, which came in very handy as a worldwide pandemic coincided with our wedding plans. Overall, Camila and her team executed our day to perfection and my husband and I were able to sit back, relax and enjoy thanks to their expertise and hard work!

True professionals are easy to spot because they are more rare than one would think. Mandalynn is on point and organized and easy to communicate with. An easy choice that we hope to see much more of in the future! Michael Peifer, Wedding Music Charleston

I do not have enough words to say how wonderful it is working with Camila! It's like she has taken the our vision right out of our heads and made it come to life! Going into our wedding day in April, I know the day will go perfectly due to the meticulous planning by Camila. Seriously, you will not find a better wedding planner (which is an understatement).

Mandalynn Schwartz is the absolute most astonishing human that could have ever come into my life, besides my Husband. ;) I cant think back to our wedding day without thinking of her, haha. Mandalynn was my go-to, my first-hand girl, my fix everything person, my amazing wedding planner! I picked partial planning because I wanted to have input but also needed that best friend mentality and to guide me along the way. I can't thank her enough for all of her effortless work that made our wedding a dream. Our wedding was so magical and so beautiful I want to do it again and a million more times! Planning a wedding is so stressful and so much work but if you have The Love Craft Team on your side it will be the most seamless process! Especially since I got Married this September of 2020 during this darn pandemic!! Mandalynn and her team kept me updated on all the regulations and made sure that our wedding weekend was flowing as accordingly! Gosh, I can't imagine planning any other event for the rest of my life without her honestly. We already told her were renewing our vows like next year and need a planner! We just need to throw another party like the one we had. It was the BEST DAY OF OUR LIFE! Thank you SOOO much! Mandalynn, you are a beautiful and amazing Wedding Planner! Camila, you are a stunning mother and I cant thank you enough either for all that you did to help on our special day! Cheers!

Camila and her team are IRREPLACEABLE when it comes to wedding day planning. She is super organized and ensures even the smallest of details are considered! Communication is key, especially when working across multiple teams, and her team is always thorough yet prompt in responses. With COVID we had to adjust our wedding day plans and having her on our team made the entire process seamless - she connected with us as soon as quarantines, restrictions, and health guidelines were being published and stayed on top of the fluid circumstances all the way through our new date. She answered a million questions and emails and calmed any nerves we had about still being able to hold a beautiful, but safe/socially distanced wedding with our loved ones in attendance. The value she and her team add to your day will be immense - can’t recommend this rockstar enough.

Every minute working with Camila was a treat. While our original wedding scheduled for October 2020 is no longer, Camila helped guide us through some hard decisions and remained by our side as we navigated uncharted territory. She made the planning process feel effortless and when our plans took a sudden turn she was there to help with whatever we needed. We'll be getting married in a small ceremony in just a few short weeks, but Camila remained available to help us with any small details we may have needed her for. Of course we're disappointed to not have a big party as planned, but I'm equally as disappointed our time working with Camila was cut short. If you're looking for a planner who will help make all your crazy, nontraditional wedding dreams come true, Camila is going to be your fairy godmother.

Camila was amazing to work with! My fiance and I chose Lovecraft Events to do our full wedding planning and day-of coordination for what was supposed to be our Fall 2020 destination wedding in Charleston. Camila was fantastic from the start with the initial consultation, she shared some great ideas about how to bring our vision to life, and made herself available for venue tours when we flew down to Charleston to check out the city and meet with venues. Her opinions were always really honest - never tried to sell us on anything that she didn't think was truly a good fit for us. We were so saddened to have made the decision to cancel our big wedding celebration entirely due to COVID-19, but Camila was so helpful up until the very end. She handled communication with the vendors and really helped reduce the stress of a tough decision for us. Can't recommend her enough to future brides!

Camila with LoveCraft Events was perfect for our wedding! She was our day-of coordinator, but helped us through the entire planning process. LoveCraft Event planners are professional, affordable, organized, and was always there to help when we needed. Camila and her team are so knowledgable of the event industry in Charleston, SC and surrounding areas. She helped us find vendors that best suited our needs/vision, many of which she was friends with and had worked with in the past. Our favorite part about LoveCraft Events is they embrace the uniqueness that each couple represents and helps find ways to reflect that on wedding day. They are SO kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. Not to mention, the lead planner- Camila- was pregnant, due the day after our wedding, and STILL spent about 8 hours with us for setup and the ceremony. They are rockstars and you will not be disappointed with the LoveCraft Events crew!

Camila has a gift for keeping her brides calm and confident throughout the (very stressful) wedding planning process. She found us the absolute best vendors - DJ, florist, linen rentals and photographer/videographer. She understood my vision for a tropical pool party from the moment I described it to her and every vendor she brought into the mix was already excited to be a part of our unique celebration. She kept a running budget for us and also provided To Do Lists that helped me stay on track. We've received incredible feedback from our guests, most saying it was the best, most unique wedding they've ever attended. That alone is a testiment to Camila's creativity. Most weddings are the same and non memorable, however ours was the complete opposite in large thanks to Camila.

Camila was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad to have had her as our day of coordinator. She not only helped to make sure the rehearsal and the wedding day ran smoothly, but she talked things through with me beforehand. With planning my wedding myself, it was definitely a relief to know that someone with her expertise was looking out for all the details so I could just relax and enjoy an incredible day with my husband and our guests.
She also recommended great make up artists (Alter-image was perfect). I appreciate the consistent communication, organization and creative support. Camila, thanks for being great at what you do!

I knew it was going to be necessary and helpful to hire a day-of coordinator, but I had no clue where to start or who to hire! Enter Camila. From the very first phone call, Camila was calm and reassuring that everything would work out great. Although we only hired her for day-of coordination, it felt more like month-of. I would call or text in a panic that I was going to forget something, but Camila had already handled it. On the day of our wedding, she had so many great ideas about our decor that I would never have thought of. I was none-the-wiser about any extra touches she was adding while I was getting ready and was pleasantly surprised when I got to the venue. I cannot speak more highly of someone when it comes to professionalism, timeliness, or kindess. Camila is the best!!

Look no further.
Camila. Is. Your. Woman.
I planned my wedding in Charleston from ten thousand miles away. Literally. I like to think I’m a calm person but organizing my big day from so far away had my stomach in knots. Camila was always there for me whenever I had a silly question or a minor freak out. Always.
When it came to the big day, I was so comforted to arrive to the venue and see Camila there - already working her magic. I didn’t have to worry about a thing because I knew she had it under control. Our guests were so impressed at how effortlessly she handled everything.
My husband and I had the best day of our lives and we owe it all to Camila. We actually joked after the wedding that we were sad you only get one wedding because we wish we could do it all over again. And if we could - Camila would be the first person we call.

I don't even know where to start! Camila was amazing from my initial inquiry all the way to her follow up after our wedding! My only regret is not booking her full time! She was a seriously such a lifesaver (from vendors being double booked to having questions during the process to making sure every detail was perfect the day of) & made my vision a reality. I was stunned when walking into our venue after everything was set up, it felt like a fairy tale. Camila really is your wedding BFF & its obvious that she loves helping brides have their best day ever! She was hands down my favorite vendor!

I cannot say enough about Camila and everything she did for our wedding! I consider myself and organized person (and I do some event planning as part of my job) but Camila’s organization and timeline management was life saving! Not only did she make my husband and I feel more at ease, but my whole family commented on how helpful and on the ball she was. I never thought I’d have the need for a wedding planner and now it’s the first thing I recommend to friends who are preparing to get married. Camila made our day stress-free and easy. Hire her. You will not regret it! Thanks Camila 😊
