Under the Willow Events 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Pawleys Island, SC

Hi! I’m Katie, the founder and lead planner behind Under the Willow Events. I started this business in 2021 with one simple goal: to help couples feel calm, confident, and fully present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. I specialize in partial planning and month-of coordination because no two weddings are the same. My role is to step in with guidance, organization, and a calm presence so you can actually enjoy your engagement and wedding day. On your wedding day, I’m the person quietly working behind the scenes managing the timeline, coordinating with your vendor team, and making sure every detail comes together smoothly.

Working alongside Katie from Under the Willow Events truly highlights what separates a good wedding planner from a great one. The real test of a planner and coordinator is their ability to adapt in any situation, and Katie does so with calm confidence, grace, and genuine care. From a photographer’s perspective, I’m often pulled into roles that overlap with planning and coordination, helping organize timelines, direct logistics, and keep the day flowing smoothly. Katie not only excels in those moments, but she creates a warm, grounding presence that immediately puts couples at ease. She is deeply invested in her couples’ experience, always going above and beyond to support both them and the entire vendor team. Weddings are better, smoother, and more joyful with Katie at the helm, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Hello! I've been in the wedding industry for 10 years and the hospitality industry for more than 30 years. Serving others is my passion. I believe every bride deserves a planner and so I try to keep my prices low and my energy high!

When starting the wedding planning process, we reached out to many other wedding planners in the area, all of which made us feel like we were talking to a salesperson thats trying way too hard to connect with us just to secure the sale- conversations felt forced and scripted, A lot of beating around the bush with leading questions & compliments, and aesthetic but generic canva lists containing just about every wedding planning service you can think of to try to lure us in before they hit us with the absurd price. Marnie was the complete opposite. She is super down to earth, witty and easy to talk to. We knew within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call with Marnie, that we wanted to work with her. She got right to the point with figuring out where we were in the planning process, our budget, our vision/ideas, and laid out the general process and her price which was considerably more affordable than many planners in the area. She went way above and beyond for us every step of the way while always making sure that we were happy with everything and that we were staying within budget- from securing venues, vendors, food, entertainment, decor, etc for the ceremony, reception, welcome party, after party and all the activities we planned for guests the days leading up to the wedding, setup/takedown, day of coordination, meetings with venues/vendors, and a million other things in between (quite literally ANYTHING we could have possibly needed) During all of our events leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day we didnt have to lift a finger. Marnie handled absolutely everything flawlessly and it felt like she could literally sense whenever we (or any of our wedding party/guests) needed anything at all because before we could even stand up or say anything, she was somehow already on her way over with whatever it was we needed whether it be a refill on a drink, fixing the flyaways in my hair for pictures, corralling a guest(s) to a different areas, hunting down my bag and accessories from the glam room and bringing them to me so i could change during the reception, making sure we got all the pictures we needed, bringing us back down to earth if we started getting overwhelmed, checking us into our honeymoon suite and moving our bags so we didnt have to deal with it after the reception etc. Even my sister said at one point she was standing around feeling kind of anxious before the ceremony and didnt know what to do with herself and Marnie could just sense that and went up to my sister and asked her if she wanted a job to do to keep herself occupied until the ceremony which my sister was pumped about lol. Also we were coming from out of state so we really appreciated the extra time she put in in regards to handling everything we couldn’t physically be there for- driving to different venues and facetiming us, meeting with all the venue/caterer/vendors for us, letting us ship an insane amount of stuff to her house and hanging onto it for weeks before the wedding and then making multiple trips back and forth to get everything to us when we got there and then also getting everything to the venue on time for setup, printing and picking up stationery, supplying us with tons of decorations and even making decorations for us at no extra cost, offering to get us to/from the airport, etc. the list is truly too long to include everything. You get the gist. Essentially…you name it and shes got you. 1000000000% recommend.

Tiffany Riva Events blends intimate wedding coordination with large-scale event production. I started as a wedding coordinator at a charming New England inn, then moved into nonprofit fundraising, planning everything from cocktail parties to weddings at beautiful venues to galas for 300+ guests. That range shapes how I plan every wedding today, from intimate elopements to 250-person celebrations. Now based on the Carolina coast in North Myrtle Beach, I bring that same relentless pursuit of excellence to every couple I work with.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! She kept everything organized, made the entire planning process feel seamless, and gave us so much peace of mind throughout the day. We are so grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!

Moment in Time Events LLC creates elegant, personalized weddings. From full planning, partial planning, day-of coordination, floral rentals, decor rentals, and customized artificial florals. I make your dream day stress-free, memorable, and uniquely yours!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Casey! From about a month before the wedding all the way through the end of our wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. She was always so easy to communicate with, quick to answer questions, and willing to help with anything I needed. Having her there during those final weeks took so much stress off of me because I knew I had someone dependable who truly cared about making our day everything we hoped it would be. On the wedding day itself, Casey made everything feel like a breeze. She kept things organized, handled all of the little details behind the scenes, and allowed me to actually enjoy the day instead of worrying about what needed to happen next. She was calm, kind, professional, and just such a joy to have around. I absolutely loved working with her and genuinely cannot imagine our wedding day without her there. It wasn’t just me who loved Casey either—our family and friends talked about how wonderful she was too! So many people noticed how helpful, sweet, and on top of everything she was throughout the entire day. I feel incredibly blessed that we had her as part of such a special season in our lives. If you are looking for someone who will truly care about you, communicate well, and make your wedding day feel easy and enjoyable, I could not recommend Casey enough!

We can’t thank Micah enough for guiding us through this wedding process! We booked her for the day of package, since I (bride) had a work history that overlapped with event decor. I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.

I got married on 05/23/25 and hiring Brittney as our wedding planner was hands down THE BEST DECISION we made during the entire wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, Brittney brought an incredible mix of professionalism, creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Brittney truly listened to my partial vision that I had and somehow turned it into something even more magical than I imagined. Every detail — from the timeline, the vendor coordination, to the little surprise touches — was flawlessly executed. It felt like she was always five steps ahead, handling everything behind the scenes so we could relax and enjoy every moment. && Let me not mention the communication was phenomenal. Sis was always very responsive, I never had an issue here. On the big day, we didn’t have to worry about anything. I did not have an official decorator for my wedding, only a florist and SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB WITH DECORATING MY RECEPTION AREA. She also used walkie talkies on the day of to communicate with the wedding party and it worked out REALLY REALLY REALLY WELL. She gave us "get ready" reminders which was helpful and made the day move smoothly. Our timeline was seamless and she had EVERYTHING you needed for your BIG DAY in case you forgot anything. She also has her own inventory that you can rent items from which are A LOT cheaper than buying them. Depending on your package, you can use some items for free. OH and did I mention that her prices are EXTREMELY REASONABLE for the value and service that you will receive. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly organized, a great communicator, talented but also genuinely kind, warm, and invested in making your day unforgettable, Brittney IS THAT GIRL!!!

She was able to source everything that we needed, with a mix of cost-effective party elements and high-end party elements where it counted. She also is an extremely talented floral designer, so it was nice to not have to outsource another vendor for that. The day of, she was at the venue early to make sure everything was set-up perfectly, then broke down/cleaned up everything when we were done with the luncheon. Overall, she took a huge load off my shoulders when it came to everything that needed to be sourced and set-up for this event - I was very much able to enjoy the party and be a proper host, and didn't have to spend my nights and weekends with coordination leading up to the event.

Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Melissa is simply amazing. I have never met someone as organized and detailed as she is. While wedding planning is notoriously stressful, working with Melissa made the entire process easy. She provided expert advice and guidance on everything from the large, high-stakes decisions down to the most granular details. She answered our millions of questions with ease, which really speaks to her dedication and years of experience. She provided all the necessary templates and tools we needed to keep us organized and on track. You can truly tell she genuinely cares and works incredibly hard to make your dream come true. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Melissa and her staff operated like a well oiled machine. They were helpful, courteous, and supportive, with every single team member working to make the day magical. They were so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. By the end of the process, Melissa became more than a wedding planner, she became a friend. When the wedding was over, we were actually sad because we realized we wouldn't be seeing her as much as we had over the last year! If you are looking for someone you can trust with such an important milestone in your life, she is your girl. Our experience was nothing short of amazing and she was worth every penny!

We hired Jacinda for month/day of coordination and it was honestly the BEST decision we made while wedding planning! We got to work with Jacinda and LeAnna and they were absolutely amazing! They were so organized and easy to work with, we had full faith in them to help us execute the perfect day. Added plus, they are so fun to hang out with! LeAnna was on top of everything the day of, if something went wrong we have no idea. I was a DIY bride and LeAnna made my vision come to life! We also decided to sneak into the bridal suite for a private dinner (absolutely recommend doing that!) and LeAnna made sure the room was set so nicely for us, with little tea lights and everything. If you are looking for wedding planners, look no further! We love Jacinda and LeAnna!!!!

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style was efficient, kind, and trustworthy throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value exceeded our expectations - it was an awesome experience that was even better than we had imagined! They did a fantastic job with the flowers, allowing us to let them handle the style and overall look of the bouquets, table pieces, and the beautiful flower arch, which all perfectly matched our vision. When our wedding coordinator unexpectedly got food poisoning the day of the wedding, they replaced her with someone else seamlessly, without any disruption. We are so grateful to the Avenue Design Studio team for making our special day truly unforgettable.

Beautiful Bride Events creates unforgettable weddings through thoughtful planning, refined design, and seamless coordination. With a deep knowledge of Charleston’s wedding industry as well as Greenville, SC and New York, NY trusted network of talented vendors, we help couples bring their dream celebrations to life while providing a calm, organized, and enjoyable planning experience. Every detail is intentionally curated to reflect each couple’s story, style, and vision.

We hired Beautiful Bride Events as our Month-of/Day-of Coordinator for our wedding, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Being from out of town, it was important that we had a "boots on the groud" coordinator we could trust. From the very beginning, Tassia was wonderful to work with and so helpful as we evaluated vendors. When the month of the wedding arrived, Marcela stepped in answering all of our last-minute questions and making sure every final detail was coordinated and communicated across vendors. She ran our rehearsal perfectly, making sure everyone involved in the ceremony knew exactly what to do. On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to simply soak in all the love and joy around us. Marcela and her assistant set up all of our decor and made sure that little details were executed perfectly, while also making sure we were on time and enjoying the evening. We were especially touched by Marcela’s thoughtfulness throughout the day. She even brought us food and drinks during post-ceremony photos and made sure we had the chance to enjoy dinner. We had such a wonderful experience with Beautiful Bride Events and would wholeheartedly recommend their team to anyone planning a wedding.
