The Petal Report

3x thanks to COVID) but Emma made it seamless dealing with all of our individual vendors and reorganizing every aspect of our wedding as needed. The level of attention to detail was equal to if she were planning her own wedding. We were getting married in Charleston as a destination wedding, but Emma took care of anything and everything we couldn’t from a distance. No matter the day or time, she would respond to emails and texts with the information we needed. Over the course of our planning process, Emma has become a new close friend. You can feel her passion for making couples happy, and that passion is infectious. She has an incredible ability to see our wedding vision and brought it to life even better than imagined. 100% using Emma and The Petal Report again for our future renewal of vows :) 1000x RECOMMEND!!!

My husband and I are THRILLED to recommend her and her cheerful, kind, and professional demeanor. We’ve STILL been riding the post-wedding high, and it’s taken us DAYS to even put into words how incredible everything was with Cayleigh at the helm of our big day. So here it goes. :) We were finally able to move forward with our twice-postponed wedding due to the pandemic, and Cayleigh was the epitome of grace and kindness working through many additional months of planning that we didn’t anticipate (especially after having to pull the plug a short month before our big day right when covid hit in March of last year). After we first got engaged, Cayleigh was one of the first vendors we chose on our team when planning our destination wedding in Charleston. Though we are frequent fliers down to South Carolina, Cayleigh put our minds completely at ease working through many, many details of our big day (that of course changed multiple times after having to navigate postponing). She understood our vision, our priorities, and really helped guide all of our decisions. She was the perfect sounding board and helped bring our aesthetic for our wedding to life. Something my husband and I loved about our booking process with Cayleigh, was that she can create custom planning packages based on the individual couples needs, which we found to work well for us and our timeline. In addition to planning the actual event, she helped plan all of our ‘planning trips’ guided itineraries, meetings and made sure we felt confident about all of our vendor choices. Not only did she set us up with a team we felt absolutely phenomenal about, the team we assembled worked SO seamlessly together throughout our planning AND postponement and was beyond understanding to all of the heartbreak and hurdles we faced last year moving everything to March of 2021. The weeks leading up to our wedding, Cayleigh reviewed ALL of our contracts with a fine tooth comb and made sure that we had everything we needed/accounted for. She is meticulous, efficient and for a busy, busy wedding planner, her email response time is phenomenal. When we landed in Charleston for our wedding week, Cayleigh had everything taken care of. She helped us by running errands and kept me super involved with details, but had built such a strong relationship with us, that she knew how to make decisions that we’d love. We were fortunate enough to also have Emma (another TPR SUPERSTAR) also with us the day of our wedding, and the dynamic duo of those two really made everything shine. Hiring the wonderful Cayleigh Lotesto to plan your wedding will be the best decision you’ll make and we are now blessed to call her a friend. I would be more than happy to chat about my experience with ANY bride with questions. Please feel free to reach out to me and I’d love to connect. Emma Heying - 630-854-9814. We love you, Cayleigh!

ned. Many of the guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended.

re, as are her sunny disposition and strong and positive relationships with every vendor we chose. Hats off to Emma Job for creating the perfect wedding event!!

ma was my number one source of calm and compassion. I can confidently say that because of Emma, I was never stressed at all. Her compassion and patience is what led to her not just being my planner but my dearest friend. Not only were we planning a wedding in a pandemic, I was planning a destination wedding remotely from New York City. Emma handled EVERYTHING. She took a very vague vision I had (elegant, clean, classic, romantic) and turned it into the wedding of my dreams. I started a new job in the middle of wedding planning And told her, “Emma I don’t know if I can manage the rest of this.” She stepped in immediately and kicked it into high gear. I would trust Emma Job with my life. I’m a high stress type A person, and Emma walked me through this wedding planning process with such confidence and ease, so much so that for the first time ever I was able to let go and have someone else make the decisions. I had a lot of anxiety going into planning this wedding and all of that anxiety disappeared when I hired Emma. To that point, I would HIGHLY recommend using Emma Job as a full planner. Between her incredible relationships she has with planners and her IMPECCABLE eye for design, you will want to use every second of her offering. Emma was also my biggest supporter and shoulder to cry on the day of the wedding. She is organized, calm, compassionate, attentive, and thinks of EVERYTHING. There is nothing Emma Job can’t do. If you’re a bride who is on the fence between a few planners, please give me a call and I can share more about the fairytale that was working with Emma Job from Petal Report. Call: 843-847-6702

utiful and personalized events for their clients! They are also super responsive, organized, and concise in their communication. Highly recommend!!

to talk with every time, but she was incredibly organized, upbeat, optimistic and had great advice on everything. She felt like a friend throughout the process, keeping it all (well as much as possible with a COVID wedding) stress free. For the weekend of the wedding, she single handedly pulled off what our guests called, the best wedding they have ever been to! I highly recommend working with Shelby, you will not regret it!

reative collaboration between my her and I. I am so grateful to have had the experience of planning my wedding with someone I can now call a friend! More than just being stress free process, it was so fun! Emma never lost sight of what was most important to us which was to host an event that would feel like an extremely special experience for all of our friends and family. All of the ideas spewed out in the early days of planning, Emma took and brought to life in a way that was even more than what we were dreaming of! From the childlike swings to a family styling dining experience to the escort card tree vision, Emma made them happen! As a lover of art, I wanted our big day to reflect my creative side and my colorful wedding gown. In addition to having an amazing live painter, Emma was intentional about making the details feel painterly. From our crest and paper goods to cake design, an artistic viewpoint can be observed. For any brides on the fence about getting a planner, GET ONE and if you’re still looking for one, then look no further!!! The Petal Report, and more specifically Emma from TPR is the best wedding planner a bride could ever hope to work with. Seeing the hours of work and planning all come to fruition on our big day was a truly overwhelming experience and one of the greatest joys we will ever know! Our intimate wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more thanks to the gals at TPR. Although it was technically a COVID wedding, I was beyond relieved it did not feel like anything but the beautiful night we had been dreaming of. I know this wouldn’t be true without all of Emma’s hard work and dedication to making our wedding feel effortless and memorable for our guests.

ligently and remained super responsive during the postponement process. We ended up having a much more intimate wedding, and it was truly the best day ever! I don’t know what we would have done without her! TPR has close connections with the most amazing vendors in Charleston. Ourselves, our family and friends were blown away by the end result! I would 10/10 recommend The Petal Report for all of your wedding planning needs!

was stunning. My guests are still talking about impressed they were with Emma and her team, and still talking about how beautiful our wedding was. The Petal Report was the best decision I made for my wedding. They are amazing!

process. They offer great advice to our clients regarding their timeline, floorplan + catering/beverage selections. They ensure our team, as well as the couples’ vendors, are well informed of these details! On wedding day, they are always attentive, proactive + respectful to the clients, guests + vendor partners!

ou end up having a new friend!!! She is creative and her attention to detail is something you cannot replace. I have had so many people reach out and say my planner was the sweetest!! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have a perfect wedding!!! She is THE BEST!!! Thank you Emma for planning the best day of our lives!!

Highly, highly recommend the Petal Report to plan your wedding. Cayleigh and her team were the best!

lked me through the processes and always made herself accessible. The day of the wedding could not have been done without she and Emma onsite ALL day! As mother of the bride I did not worry one time about any of the details. Everything was exactly the way my daughter and I had envisioned, positively perfect. They saw to every detail with big smiles! Cayleigh has a very caring personality and wants your wedding/event to be just as perfect as you do. I highly recommend Cayleigh and Emma, truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this dynamic duo.

trust in Cayleigh to see out my vision. She made everything from booking vendors to day-of set up absolutely stress-free. It's one thing to get your work done and call it a day. But I think there's also a lot to be said about Cayleigh's personality on top of her work ethic - Cayleigh is sweet, calm, and comforting. I had a few bride freak outs along the way and Cayleigh was always quick to smooth over any worries I had with her relaxing, worry-free take on it all. The day of went so smoothly and so easily that me and my now husband got to enjoy every moment without thinking or worrying about a single other thing. My mom also loved working with Cayleigh while I was in another state. When we originally began looking for a planner, my mom was looking for someone organized, conscientious, and thoughtful and Cayleigh was exactly that! We cannot thank ThePetal Report enough for our incredible day.

h that she would plan our dream wedding and she did not disappoint! Her charming personality coupled with her dedicated work ethic and attention to detail is simply unparalleled. Not only did she plan our dream wedding by guiding us through every step of the way, she miraculously executed our plan "B" when it began to rain on our wedding day. Her experience and calm demeanor helped keep me and my bridal party at ease. Cayleigh knows all the best vendors and will suggest the perfect ones for you based on your budget, vision, and personality. I cannot thank Cayleigh and Emma enough, they are truly the best!

e planner because she seemed down to earth and warm, not corporatey and stiff like some of the others. Emma felt different - we could tell she truly LOVES what she does and we wouldn't just be another client to check off the list. She understood our vision and suggested the best vendors that fit our budget. She never pressured us to do anything we didn't want or couldn't afford. She brought so much positivity and confidence into the planning process. In the 9 months we had to plan we were rarely stressed because Emma had everything taken care of. She is professional, attentive to detail and trustworthy. She always made us feel at ease, even on the day of. I always felt comfortable bouncing ideas off of her and together we would come up with the right plan. There is a wonderful light that beams from Emma. We couldn't imagine having worked with anyone else.

the world in a totally different time zone and had to plan and communicate exclusively electronically from the start, but she took it all with grace and patience and helped us fill in any and all gaps as we took a fairly hands-off approach and needed a lot of guidance. She maintains a robust list of recommended vendors which made our planning easy as we could easily pick out the right vibe and price point for us and they all delivered spectacularly and ended up being great recommendations. We had a small vision for our wedding, but what Cayleigh did with the design and vendor recommendations made it come alive better than anything we could have done on our own. She was responsive, flexible to our needs, and extremely knowledgeable and organized. She was also proactive about tracking down any and all answers for us and communicating with all of the involved vendors on our behalf and then some. Despite our venue being a ways outside of Charleston, Cayleigh was very familiar with it and appeared to have an existing and great rapport with the staff there. When the big day finally came, she continued her professionalism and ensured throughout that we were happy and catered to, so we didn’t miss out on any aspects on the big day as many couples can easily do while focusing on their guests. She had total control over everything going on and coordinated all of the moving pieces flawlessly and with a smile. As demonstrated by her genuine joy for us, Cayleigh has a huge heart and a knack for making each couple’s day above and beyond special. We are so grateful we had her to plan our big day and help it go so smoothly. The best decision we made when it came to our big day was hiring TPR and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone considering using any of the company’s services as we are certain everything they touch will turn out amazingly!

il off on our super hot July date! She was so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and my fiancé went into our big day completely stress free - we knew Emma had everything taken care of and we seriously can’t thank her enough! Our day was absolutely perfect and we owe it all to her. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our big day!

nning process, she was professional, efficient, and so down to earth & easy to work with. She kept me calm and talked me through any second guessing or hesitations I had throughout the process. It really was such an incredible wedding and we are grateful for her hard work on our special day. She's the best!

eting I was even further charmed by her calming demeanor and comforting personality. Cayleigh manages to make every crisis feel minor while making every"want" feel entirely essential. She helped me to achieve not only the wedding DAY but wedding WEEKEND of my dreams...all while making me feel like a friend and equal.

n be a daunting and stressful thing but Cayleigh made it not only easy for us but fun as well. Her attitude always put us at ease no matter what the situation. The week before our outdoor wedding a high chance of rain was forecasted. Cayleigh made a plan far ahead of time which put my worries at ease for the day off. She had to make many day of decisions thanks to the finicky Charleston weather but it never got in the way of how amazing our day was. I honestly couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. I could say a thousand wonderful things about her and I would absolutely recommend using her for your wedding. Love Lindsey and Bryan.

ighly recommend Cayleigh! She made my wedding perfect I know she will make your’s perfect too!

t on her own I knew I wanted her to be the planner for our big day. As we were two brides to be in the South it was a little intimidating to begin planning a wedding in Charleston, but with Cayleigh things for us all fell into place perfectly. Cayleigh executed the vision I had for our wedding down to every last detail. She went above and beyond for my wife and myself throughout the 16 months we worked with her. I can't rave enough about her professionalism, her kindness, her love for everything bubbly which we bonded over, and her desire to give two brides the wedding of their dreams. I would recommend her services to brides that are looking for a planner who will work with you to bring your dream wedding to life. Cayleigh will be our go to for all our milestones in life as she has now became not just our wedding planner, but more importantly our friend. So Cheers to The Petal Report we can't wait to see what the future holds !

om a distance. Cayleigh executed my vision perfectly , everyone told me to expect that not everything will go to plan but my day was completely perfect and I would not have changed a thing. Cayleigh makes sure to stay up to date with all wedding trends to best advise her clients and all I have heard from friends and family was it was the most elegant event they had ever been to. Thank you Cayleigh can't wait for you to plan our 10 year anniversary! Always, Olivia & Micah

tips of vendors to work with, when do complete tasks, etc. She was quick to respond, and gave great advice, suggestions for any challenges we came across. The last week before the wedding Cayleigh's organization made me feel so confident that we were all ready for the event, I really did not stress leading up to the big day! We hired a wedding planner to have piece of mind and be able to enjoy the day without worrying about the event. She went above and beyond! On the day of our wedding if was like a dream! Everything ran smoothly due to Cayleigh and the wonderful vendors she suggested. She allowed me to truly enjoy our big day without worrying about any details. Throughout the event she was one step ahead of us, letting us know what was next for the bride and groom. The event was seamless. We had so many wedding guests compliment Cayleigh! I LOVED working with Cayleigh and will miss our regular wedding meetings/chats. She is kind-hearted, fun, and really good at what she does!

ated a great plan B and worked out all the logistics with a smile and without stressing out the bride, groom, or their respective families. She went from good planner to god send that day.

ling to make herself available to meet, take a call or answer texts and emails. She assisted with everything from arranging rentals and deliveries to groomsmen’s tuxedos left at our venue and even helping us apply for a marriage license. There was not one detail left untouched. She is a honest, hard-working individual with a calm demeanor that certainly helped ease my worries throughout the planning process and the day of. She gives just enough creative suggestions while allowing you to make your own decisions. I have worked with many event planners in the past and The Petal Report far exceeded my expectations. Everyone needs The Petal Report for their special event!

he did so with a smile and positive attitude the entire time. Her organization, communication, and demeanor relieved SO much stress throughout the planning process and the wedding day. Can't tell you how many times we said, "What would we have done without Cayleigh?" Easily the best wedding planning decision we made was going with The Petal Report!

tifully. She gave us a day more wonderful than I even could have imagined. She is with you every step of the way, and answers every question you have with ease. What I loved about Cayleigh, is she makes sure she is working towards YOUR vision. She truly works to make sure you are happy on your big day, and she nailed it. My bridesmaids have been in several other weddings, and even noted how well she communicated and directed our group. She is extremely organized, detail oriented, and knows everything that is going on at any given moment. If you want to enjoy your planning process and have your dream wedding, I can assure you The Petal Report is the way to go.

is very organized, thorough, and always takes the initiative to make sure everything goes well and perfect. She definitely delivers! Even in moments when I was panicking on the wedding day she would calm me down and handled everything wonderfully which made me wonder why i was even panicking in the first place. She’s always available for my thousands of questions i asked on the daily and on my wedding day did everything and more than i even thought was in her job description. Cayleigh goes out of her way to truly make sure my day was extra special. My friends and entire family thinks she’s a doll, and not to mention her face is never without a smile! She is the best, and i am so glad i found her!

but is so on top of stuff. She really gets your DNA as a couple and understands your vibe and how you want things executed. You can also tell other vendors like working with her too which helps you get great people to work with. I am a total control freak - and on my wedding day I really let go of the control and trusted her to do everything and was so pleased in the job she did. She really made it the best day possible for us. My husband and I always say that when it comes to Cayleigh we will be the people to say we knew her when... she is a professional powerhouse that is going places. To have someone that you can trust completely and really grow to like in the process is priceless.

breakdown of my to-do's each month; and then each week as we approached the big day. She completely understood my style and theme and I couldn't have been happier! Cayleigh was always available and quick to respond, and even did a few "emergency" meetings when I just needed to see her (to calm me down) and walk me through the layout one more time. On the day of, I'm still thankful for how Cayleigh made everything go so smoothly! I even had one bridesmaid comment on how relaxed I was and this is solely do to my trust in Cayleigh! You are hands down missing out, if you do not take the time to talk with her and consider her for your wedding planner!

, she said everything was going to be great, and it truly was...it was an incredible day. Cayleigh is very communicative, efficient, can take on any obstacle and is clearly so passionate about event planning. We are so grateful for her hard work on our special day.
