We worked with Alyssa through Curated Events to plan our wedding. We originally hired a day-of coordinator but soon realized we were in over our heads. There is enough decision making, planning, and logistics involved in planning an event for 180 people to make your head spin. The joy was being sucked out of our engagement season.
From the minute we started working with Alyssa, she made it her mission to understand our goals and vision for our wedding day. She made herself available when we needed her, came prepared and organized to every meeting, and kept us on track every step of the way. On the wedding day, she literally ran around making sure every detail was in place. I am so grateful for her support and attention to detail. We had the most perfect day, and I cannot imagine how that would have been the case without her.Curated Events Charleston's reply:
Halle, thank you so very much for your kind words about your experience and Alyssa! She is a rockstar and an amazing wedding coordinator, and we are so happy she is a part of our team! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! -

Emily is an exceptional wedding professional and her attention to detail is fantastic. As a wedding vendor, I appreciate a planner who is organized, level-headed and creative. Emily is just that and more! As a Charleston wedding vendor of 10 years I have seen just about everything and a high-quality planner is absolutely an essential component to a great wedding. If you are looking for an exceptional wedding planner I highly recommend you give Emily and Ooh Events a call! -

Ooh! Events was such an amazing company to work with. Having event coordination, floral and rentals all in one place made the entire process a breeze and it was so fun to get to go to their office and personally pick all of our wedding decor; but the best thing about Ooh! is HANDS DOWN Emily Parham. She is everything we could've wanted in a wedding planner and more. The entire wedding went off without a single issue and was the most perfect day. Emily and Isabel not only handled everything that popped up but also planned for things that could come up (example: making the most amazing feather jacket seemingly materialize out of thin air when it got cold and I hadn't thought to get a jacket period, let alone one that would match my dress). I am so happy to have met Emily and now call her a friend. You need her and the entire Ooh! team on your vendor list 1,000,000% -

Rachel S. Sent on 10/26/2020Ooh! Events = MVP!
I hired Ooh! Events for design and coordination as well as rentals for my October wedding at Lowndes Grove. As a COVID-19 bride, I fully anticipated a stressful planning process, but Ooh! Events and specifically Emily Parham, my planner, took all the stress and worry off my shoulders. Leading up to the wedding, no question was too frivolous to shoot her an email about and she was so great about sending helpful reminders about when I had upcoming vendor payments. She also TOTALLY NAILED the design aesthetic I was going for from the start! We tweaked maybe one or two things but otherwise it was absolutely perfect, and she came up with ideas I either had never thought of or didn’t know was possible. However, our actual wedding day is where I believe Emily and her assistant Caroline shone brightest and earned MVP status in my heart forever. The forecast was showing rain right around our ceremony time (which was outdoors) and Emily kept me up to date on the forecast and suggested we start with cocktail hour and then do the ceremony once it cleared. I was good with that but when there seemed to be a break in the clouds, Emily suggested we get the ceremony in and instead do two half-hour cocktail hours. Everything worked out great and my husband and I actually got time alone before the ceremony to eat hors d’oeuvres. I knew there were several hiccups during the reception as well but only because I saw Emily and her team handling them before they ever became an issue. In the midst of handling all these things, Emily kept in constant communication with me to ensure my husband and I always had a full/chilled glass of whatever we wanted to drink, something to eat and that we got to do everything we wanted at our reception. I absolutely credit her with the success and beauty of our wedding and am so thankful to her and Ooh! Events for making our wedding dreams a reality. -

Emily, our wedding coordinator, her assistant, Caroline, and Ooh Events are the BEST! We booked our daughter’s wedding for October 10, 2020 in April 2019, way back when the only thing we had to worry about was a hurricane. 😊 Emily guided us through challenging times and ensured Rachel and Eric had the wedding of their dreams. She quickly rescheduled our floral, rental, and tasting sessions after the initial COVID-19 shutdown and kept things on track. Just when we thought everything was going to be “smooth sailing” Mother Nature had her say with some significant rain. We were so incredibly impressed by Emily’s professionalism and calm, collected demeanor on the big day. She quickly orchestrated a major reconfiguration of the reception area, rearranged the schedule to take advantage of a small window of opportunity to conduct the ceremony outdoors as planned, and ensured the wedding party and guests were kept informed of changes. Thanks to the amazing efforts of Emily, Caroline and the entire Ooh Events crew, the wedding ceremony, and reception, were indeed magical despite many challenges. -

Claudia Sent on 10/19/2020Priceless Piece of Mind in 2020
Our original wedding date was 6/6/2020, our rescheduled date was 9/26/2020, our attempted re-re-scheduled date was 10/21/2021. We had vendor contracts locked in, then fall through due to COVID and were left scrambling for replacements. Through it all, OohEvents was there for us in helping us work with all of our vendors, and pulling together a scaled down vision for our nuptials. With the help of Sara G. and Hannah S., we had a micro-wedding on 9/26/2020 on a hotel rooftop in downtown Charleston. The design they pulled together was by far, much better than our original vision and i wouldn't change a thing - i told them then, and i would say it again, they CRUSHED IT!!! Sara G. was incredibly professional and flexible when it came to all of our hurdles, and we couldn't thank her enough for helping us through it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us make our micro wedding feel like the real thing!Curated Events Charleston's reply:
Thank you Claudia! It was wonderful working with you and we wish you many many years of happiness!

Lauren H. Sent on 09/17/2020Your Most Important Wedding Vendor!
I will forever recommend Ooh! Events to all of my friends and family!! They are truly a one stop shop which takes so much stress away during wedding planning. Ooh! Events handled our rentals, design, coordination and floral for our wedding and everything was PERFECT. Emily was our wedding planner and kept us informed every step of the way. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was rough but Emily constantly let us know of the ever changing rules and had a solution to everything and every issue that arose! She really saved the day when our original videographer canceled on us less than 48 hours before our wedding. Within HOURS (and very early in the morning!) Emily was on the phone with us and potential new vendors trying to book a new videographer. All of our rentals and flowers were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we envisioned. Ooh! Events truly took care of every single little detail. Even things we didn't realize we wanted or needed! From having our ceremony and reception go off without a hitch (which is a miracle in itself), to having Emily and Caroline pack our "to-go" bags in our getaway vehicle so we wouldn't forget anything, to even making sure we had ice cold drinks all night long, we were in the best hands with Ooh!. Hiring this team was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. -

Emily L. Sent on 04/17/2019Love them all! Made our wedding stress free!
Ooh Events and Emily Parham made our wedding a completely stress free experience. All the girls there have incredible taste and I felt 100% comfortable with Emily. I knew she would handle everything just as I would. The team at Ooh Events was hyper-organized, well connected in the industry, and allowed me to be as hands-on (or off) as I wanted. They have the largest selection of rentals and flowers and were so accommodating to any budget concerns I had. Someone once told me: "You should pick the planner you feel is your best friend--someone you can cry in front of, laugh with, and tell anything to." And Emily was just that. They executed our wedding perfectly and made it an absolute dream. Even my other vendors commented on what an excellent job they did. Can't thank Emily and the rest of the team enough.Curated Events Charleston's reply:
Emily, thank you so much for your kind words! Emily Parham certainly is wonderful. Sending lots of love to you and Emerson! -

We hired Ooh! for full service planning since I live in NYC and my wedding was in Charleston, SC. They were excellent, detail-oriented, and personal from the very first phone call where I discussed my ideas for the wedding to the actual day. Our planner, Shea, was the absolute best. In addition to being so kind and friendly, she made me feel completely at ease planning from afar. She provided guidance in a way that helped me create an atmosphere for the wedding even better than I could have hoped for. While the weather for our event was not as expected (upper 30s and rainy), she was able to improvise and talk my family and I through all our options in a way that we felt calm and relaxed the whole time. I truly cannot recommend Ooh! and Shea highly enough! -

Best decision I ever made!!!
Our wedding was PERFECT because of Ooh! Events and Emily! We truly could not have asked for a better day to get married. Between busy schedules and a crazy year, we were so grateful to have Emily guiding us through every step of the planning process. We met with her to plan our florals and rental decor (we used Ooh! rentals and Out of Hand florals as well) and having everything integrated made planning a breeze. They have excellent taste and kept up with all of my changing plans with ease. On our wedding day, Emily had put together a detailed timeline and everything went off without a hitch!! Our whole day was absolutely breathtaking and I have received so many positive comments about how amazing everything was from start to finish.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and Ooh! Events! My wedding day was an absolute dream. If you are considering them, just go ahead and book! You will not regret it!! -

An amazing team!
decided to work with Emily Parham and Ooh Events because I was planning the wedding from Alaska, and they are a “one stop shop”. They have rentals, florals, wedding coordination and more! I chose to do the 60 day out wedding coordination and that really worked out well! With Emily helping with everything the day of the wedding, I felt so at ease and chill...I felt like a bride that didn’t have a worry in the world. Everything turned out exactly how my husband and I planned and I could not be happier with Ooh Events! With their partner, Out of the Garden, my favorite was the floral arch that they put together. I chose an arch and they made it happen, it was beautiful! Thank you to Emily, Ooh Events, and Out of The Garden for helping my dream wedding come true. -

I’m very happy I chose Ooh Events for my wedding this past October. Emily was my coordinator and she was fantastic. She was always responsive, reliable, and very detail oriented. She was so helpful at wrapping up all the fine details of things from the day of timeline to the last minute group transportation we needed. At the beginning she was able to offer suggestions and recommendations which all proved to be helpful for us especially since we were planning a wedding from a different state. Emily always made herself available when we needed it and was extremely professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a wedding coordinator -

Great options for decor - very accommodating staff!
We used ooh events for some of our wedding decor and they were great to work with! We had to make some last minute changes to our rentals and they were very accommodating. they have a lot of cute things for lounge areas and excellent options for bars and dance floors. Would definitely recommend using them for rentals! -

Megan W. Sent on 07/12/2019Emily Parham was THE BEST!
My husband and I are so thankful for Emily Parham and her team and everything you did for us both leading up to our wedding but also during the wedding. The weather presented what seemed like it would be insurmountable challenges but Emily's team rose to the occasion and made it work in our favor. We were truly impressed with Emily's ability to not only adapt but also make sure that there was zero stress on our wedding day.
We had such a tremendous time at our wedding and we left Charleston wondering why other people always say wedding planning and the day of are so stressful. We feel like the last 18 months have gone by so smoothly and we have never really worried about any of it. Seeing the venue and watching our friends and family having the time of their lives celebrating us, we could not be happier with our decision to choose Ooh! Events and specifically choose Emily as our planner and coordinator. Emily Parham, you are AMAZING!Curated Events Charleston's reply:
Megan,
Thank you so much for your kind words! Emily is certainly amazing as we appreciate you taking the time to write this sweet review!
Wishing you ALL the lifelong happiness! -

Very creative and professional! Brought my dreams to life!
I would highly recommend Kaitlyn at Ooh! Events as your wedding florist. She was extremely professional, creative and knew exactly what I wanted (even with my very limited knowledge on florals). Walking in the day of my wedding and seeing the arrangements brought me to tears. Kaitlyn and the rest of the staff were a dream to work with - Thank you all so much! -

Heather B. Sent on 03/26/2019Oh lala for Ooh! Events
Words fail to truly express our gratitude to Shea and Emily during the planning of our daughter’s wedding. Since we are not from Charleston but chose it as the wedding destination, we knew we needed someone who had the experience and know how to navigate the particulars of the wedding. From beginning to the end of planning, Shea and Emily made us feel comfortable and confident with the planning process. Ooh Events warehouse is a dream to walk through and there is something for every taste and design. We have been flooded with messages, calls and texts from guests who said this is by far the best wedding and reception they have ever attended. For that, I thank Ooh Events and most importantly Shea and Emily!Curated Events Charleston's reply:
Heather, thank you SO much for your kind words! It means so much to us. Emily and Shea are wonderful and so enjoyed working with you and your family!
