Charleston is a city rich in history — and hosts often choose the charming locale for their own personally-historic celebrations. Whether it’s an elegant wedding, a ballroom bash, or some other type of Southern celebration, a special event requires a premier event planner. Top planners not only boast experience and an extensive network of event professionals, they are good listeners who are able to bring your artistic vision to life. These top wedding planners in Charleston do that — and much more.
