Founder & Creative Director
Native to the beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, I’ve always had a deep love for hospitality and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, focusing on Event Planning, and have spent the past 15 years immersed in the hospitality industry here in the Lowcountry.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of studying under luxury wedding planners and floral designers, learning the fine art of blending elegance with authenticity. I began my journey as a banquet server, working hands-on at countless events, and over time worked my way up to Assistant Director of Catering at one of Charleston’s premier luxury venues. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for every moving piece that makes an event seamless, from the back-of-house logistics to the creative design that brings a couple’s vision to life.
​
Coming from a big, blended family, I learned early on the importance of being open-minded, personable, and adaptable. It’s where my passion for project management and people connection began—balancing personalities, schedules, and emotions while ensuring everyone feels heard and valued. That foundation has shaped how I approach every wedding: with organization, empathy, and genuine care.
Today, I pour that experience and passion into every celebration I design, creating weddings and events that not only look beautiful but feel deeply personal and unforgettable.
Meet Hannah
Lead Planner
Having lived all across the South, including Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, settling in Charleston felt like the natural next step—especially for a career in weddings. Growing up on a pine tree farm in South Georgia taught me the value of hard work and collaboration, lessons that shape everything I do as a planner. I bring that same care, focus, and intentionality to every wedding, crafting meaningful moments and making sure every detail feels personal, thoughtful, and so fun.
I began my wedding planning career in Chattanooga, Tennessee while earning my degree in English and Public Relations. That’s when I discovered how much I loved crafting experiences that feel personal to the couple, jaw-dropping to the guests, and seamless from start to finish.
As Lead Planner, my approach is joyful, practical, and detail-oriented, with a guest-focused mindset. I love to anticipate needs even before they arise. If your bustle just broke, I’ve got my sewing kit in hand, and I’m on my way. My goal is for every couple to feel supported so they can truly enjoy the best parts of the planning process and the entire wedding weekend.
​
After years of vacationing in the Lowcountry, my husband and I made Charleston our home in 2021. I started in the city working venue-side, learning the ins and outs of catering and event logistics. That experience, combined with my background and love for meaningful celebrations, shapes how I approach every wedding. Each celebration I plan is intentional, seamless, and designed to let couples fully enjoy their day while leaving a lasting impression on everyone who came to celebrate alongside.
"Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process of our daughter’s wedding! She was professional, attentive to all the details, and handled any issues that arose. I cannot imagine what the wedding experience would have been without her, she was the best decision that we made throughout the process. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their wedding the best possible experience for all involved. Thank you to Elizabeth for all that she did for us, we are forever grateful!"
