It's difficult to put our appreciation for Sarah and the Anderson Event Design team into words! From our initial consult I knew that the team would care for and support us in the wedding planning process, while honoring our choices and priorities as a couple. Sarah felt like an old friend pretty immediately and helped us to navigate every vendor interaction, timeline and logistics, and even a last-minute ceremony location change. We were able to actually enjoy this season of life and our engagement because we weren't bogged down with the intricate details of wedding planning. She made every decision and step seamless and easy with her thoughtfulness and intention. My mom and I were so relaxed leading up to wedding day because we knew Sarah & team had everything handled! We were included in every design decision, but it was so incredible to fully trust that whatever we left to Sarah would turn out better than we could have imagined! Everyone talks about grooms being surprised by the wedding day design, but I was surprised and blown away as the bride too because I trusted Sarah so much with final details! I'm so thankful to have these girls in my life now, and feel lucky to be a local Charleston bride so that I can continue our relationships! For the most beautiful, thoughtful and seamless wedding design and planning process, we strongly recommend working with AED!

Hands down, the ABSOLUTE BEST! As we reflect on all the decisions that were made for our wedding, choosing Anderson Event Design was undoubtedly the most pivotal one, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome. From the very first interaction, we knew they were the one for us. AED wasn’t just planners; they were friends.

We had the pleasure of working primarily with Kayla, who truly exceeded all expectations. She is an absolute GEM! It was evident that she invested her heart and soul into understanding our vision and making it a reality. Kayla's remarkable talent for design and her unwavering attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our dream wedding was brought to life seamlessly. She is not only kind, knowledgeable, and patient but a true visionary who made our day as perfect as possible. She was always in our corner throughout the entire process and exuded the most positive energy at all times.

AED took the time to listen to our "must-haves" and "wants," helping us prioritize decisions and choose the perfect venue and vendors. Throughout the entire process, they kept us on track, ensuring every decision aligned with our budget and timeline. Their preferred vendors were exceptional, and together, we truly assembled an all-star team. In Charleston's competitive wedding market, many of our top choices would have been unavailable had it not been for AED keeping us on track to make decisions in advance. Their organization and foresight were unparalleled, making the planning process feel like a breeze.

Most importantly, AED designs the most beautiful weddings. We follow them on social media and literally EVERY single wedding that they do is unique and leaves us in awe. Their ability to transform our venue into a breathtaking space, that captured the essence of our vision, was truly magical. From the beautiful lighting, to the smallest details that often go overlooked, they left no stone unturned. We could endlessly praise the beauty of their designs, but their portfolio says more than any review could.

On the day of the wedding, AED's execution was flawless. The logistics were meticulously planned, and many guests commented on how smoothly everything flowed. If any issues arose on the day of the wedding, we were certainly unaware, which is exactly what you hope for when entrusting your special day to a wedding planner. We received countless compliments from guests, saying it was the most eloquent, well-run wedding they'd ever attended. Thanks to AED's expertise and dedication, our special day was nothing short of unforgettable. Having such an amazing team alleviated all our wedding day "jitters" and enabled us to fully savor the day without any worries. …………..…....Also, a special shoutout to the team for going above and beyond, even digging up our buried bourbon (see pictures) when a shovel was out of reach. That's true dedication!

If you're in search of a wedding planner who can turn your dreams into reality and surpass your wildest expectations, look no further than Anderson Event Design. We highly recommend utilizing their services throughout the ENTIRE process, as there are numerous decisions before the month of the wedding that are crucial to entrust to them.

Thank you Kayla and Samantha for making our wedding day a magical and unforgettable experience! We would choose Anderson Event Design a thousand times over, and to this day, are still in awe at the incredible wedding they planned for us. We will forever be thankful.

I have worked with the AED both professionally and now personally, most recently while planning my own wedding that took place on 04/23/22 here in Charleston. I've had a unique perspective into their operations and relations as I myself am a vendor in the Charleston wedding industry, which is really how my relationship with them began.

My initial professional relationship with Sarah, Sam, and Kate really made a big impression on me and set the standard high not only for those with whom I choose to work as a vendor, but also how I operate as a business owner myself. I saw from "behind the scenes" how organized, efficient, professional, and kind they all genuinely are. Based on my experiences with them as a vendor, I knew that when I got engaged, there was no other team I'd rather work with than AED.

Throughout our entire 16 month engagement, our experience with AED (specifically Sarah Rickman) was exceptional. Sarah and the rest of AED were always responsive, patient, understanding, and extremely efficient. They have great relationships with both vendors and venues in town and have a lot of insight and experience to provide in terms of recommendations. Additionally, their classic and timeless style is so beautiful and perfect for any Charleston wedding. They all go out of their way to make every detail perfect for their brides and their families. We unfortunately had an incident in which an out-of-state invitation company sent us an incorrect order. However, Sarah and Sam really stepped up to help us fix the problem and find an alternative very quickly-- I now couldn't be happier with their recommendation and absolutely love how the invitations turned out. The invitations are one of my favorite memories of the planning process!

All this to say, I recommend Anderson Event Design to any couple without reservation. It is so obvious that they truly love their work and if I were to do the whole process over, I'd choose Sarah and AED every time!
