wedding planning

Your day, planned like a love letter.

Two planners, twelve weddings a year, and every detail of your Charleston celebration held with care — from the first venue walk-through to the last sparkler.

The belief

A wedding should feel like the two of you, not the vendor list.

Planning tiers

Ways to work together

Planning tiers for every distance from 'just engaged' to 'four weeks out.'

Vows at golden hour by the waterFrom $8,500

Full-Service Planning

Every detail from engagement to exit, including venue search, design, budget management, and full vendor coordination. Unlimited meetings and a two-planner team on the day.

The ceremony site, set and waitingFrom $4,800

Partial Planning

For couples partway down the aisle who need a professional to take the wheel. We join six months out, tighten the design and budget, and manage every vendor to the finish.

Hands joined at the altar$2,400

Month-Of Coordination

You plan, we land it. We step in four weeks before the wedding to build the master timeline, confirm every vendor, and run rehearsal and wedding day start to finish.

Design & Styling

A standalone design engagement: palette, florals direction, tabletop, paper, and lighting composed into one cohesive visual story for your planning team to execute.

Welcome Parties & Brunches

Rehearsal dinners, welcome cocktails, and farewell brunches planned to feel like a warm-up act, not an afterthought.

Elopement Concierge

A ceremony for two done beautifully — officiant, florals, photography, and a table for dinner at Charleston's best rooms, arranged quietly.

How it unfolds

A year, planned

01

The first call

Date, place, budget, and the feeling you want the day to have — we listen before we plan.

02

The design

Palette, paper, flowers, and light composed into one story that could only be yours.

03

The countdown

Vendors confirmed, timeline built to the minute, questions answered before they're asked.

04

The day

You get married. We run everything else, quietly.

Notes from couples

June ran our wedding day like an air-traffic controller in linen. A hurricane warning moved our ceremony indoors and our guests genuinely believed it was the plan all along.
Adaeze & Tom Okonkwo
Marlowe took a Pinterest board of chaos and turned it into the most beautiful room I have ever stood in. My mother still talks about the candlelight.
Savannah Prewitt
We hired them for month-of coordination and it was the best money in our entire budget. I handed over a spreadsheet and received back a wedding.
Carlos & Emily Rivera
Planning from Seattle, we saw our venue twice before the wedding. Ever & Ivy made the distance completely irrelevant — every call ended with us feeling calmer.

The planners

Two planners, one promise

Marlowe and June met working the same hotel ballroom circuit a decade ago and started Ever & Ivy with a shared conviction that every celebration should be unmistakably the couple's own. We cap our calendar at twelve weddings a year so both of us know every celebration inside out — the aunt who needs a quiet corner, the song that has to play at sunset, the rain plan nobody will ever notice we used. Marlowe leads design and paper; June runs budgets, timelines, and the day itself with a clipboard and unshakable calm. Between us we've planned more than one hundred twenty weddings across the Lowcountry, and we still cry at almost every single one.

Questions

Asked over tea

Availability, budgets, and planning from afar.

How many weddings do you take on?

Twelve a year, total, across both planners. It's the number that lets us give every couple unhurried attention — and it's why our calendar for peak months fills 14 to 18 months out.

We don't live in Charleston. Can you still plan our wedding?

Most of our couples plan from out of state. We run video design meetings, walk venues with a camera in hand, and build your timeline so your visits count — many couples see their venue only twice before the wedding.

Do we have to use your vendors?

No — we recommend from a book of sixty-plus Lowcountry vendors we trust, but we happily work with anyone you love. We vet contracts and manage every vendor either way.

What does a typical Ever & Ivy wedding cost?

Most of our full-service couples invest between $75,000 and $200,000 all-in, though we've planned beautiful days well outside that range in both directions. We'll tell you honestly, in the first call, what your vision costs in this city.

What's the difference between month-of and partial planning?

Month-of means you plan everything and we execute the final four weeks and the day itself. Partial means we join six months out and co-pilot the rest — design decisions, budget, and vendors included.
