Detailed Weddings & Events LLC is a full-service, partial-service, and day-of wedding and event planning, coordination, consulting, design, and honeymoon planning company located in the Pee Dee region, near the Midlands of South Carolina. Based in Sumter, SC, the company is veteran-owned. The owner has studied the business of weddings and events and is a graduate of America's premier wedding, floral, and event design school, The Institute of Wedding & Event Design (IWED). Additionally, she is a certified officiant with American Marriage Ministries.  

​

 

The owner has attended several colleges and universities throughout her military career but has never settled on a specific major.  Her initial pursuits included print journalism and radio broadcasting, which led to employment opportunities as a newspaper editor and a broadcaster in both small and large markets. These experiences have contributed to her development as a well-rounded event speaker and emcee.

Some of you may wonder about the differences between a planner, coordinator, consultant, and designer. Here is an explanation of each title's distinct role. A planner is responsible for organizing a wedding or event from start to finish. A coordinator develops a day-of schedule prior to the event and manages the formalities on the day itself, ensuring that the timeline remains on track.  A consultant addresses questions and provides etiquette guidelines for a wedding or event host who needs assistance with their plans.  A designer focuses on aesthetics and layout, including floor plans, lighting, floral arrangements, furniture, linens, and attire. In our opinion, planners, coordinators, consultants, and designers all contribute to the same overarching goal, but the level of physical involvement varies. Some roles require more hands-on work than others, while a consultant primarily serves as a guide, explaining how and why certain tasks are performed.

 

At Detailed Weddings & Events, we offer all four of the services mentioned above. With our certified event styling, expert planning, coordination, and floral design experience, we will make every effort to transform your vision into reality.  We will also manage all the details and logistics to ensure a smooth process. Our goal is to make every step enjoyable, from our initial meeting to the conclusion of your seamless event. 

​

 

We are committed to making your event uniquely yours through a cohesive design that exudes sophistication, along with the small details that are often overlooked. Our bespoke (one-of-a-kind) coordination, planning, and design services go beyond just color palettes and venue selection; they encompass everything from setup to breakdown, all while ensuring that your wedding or event remains affordable.

 

Detailed Weddings & Events provides couples and event hosts the freedom to enjoy one of the most important days of their lives—stress-free. We care, we listen, we know what we are doing, and we deliver our services with keen attention to detail.

 

If you hire us,  you will experience the same level of pomp, glitz, glamour, and elegance that you would expect from a more established wedding or event planning company, all at an affordable price.  We also offer an online client portal that can be accessed at any time, which organizes all the details of your special day and keeps Detailed Weddings & Events informed of completed tasks. Essentially, the client portal serves as a dedicated communication tool for couples and their planners.

​

 

The key to hosting an affordable wedding or event is to allow yourselves ample time to pay off all debts before the big day.  Starting one year in advance is ideal, as costs tend to rise as the event date approaches. While we do accept clients with a 3-month or 6-month timeline, wedding clients benefit most when the planning process begins a year or more in advance.

​

 

Additionally, we encourage clients to consider purchasing wedding or event insurance through WEDSAFE Insurance, the Wedding Protector Plan, or Markel Event Insurance. This coverage can protect against various losses, including lost deposits, no-shows, lost rings, damaged wedding dresses, cancellations, illnesses among wedding attendants, venue closures, fires, or the onset of a pandemic, such as COVID-19, which has previously delayed or derailed planned celebrations at booked venues.

​

 

Individuals and couples should recognize that the company they choose to assist with their wedding or event planning will have a lasting impact on their experience. It is essential to ensure that all agreements are documented in writing.  Some decisions made during this process may influence the stability of their loving families and could potentially create emotional rifts.  

​

 

With the professional guidance of Detailed Weddings & Events, we aim to empower our clients to make informed decisions that will ensure their happiness and that of their families, allowing them to move forward without regrets.  Additionally, we aspire to foster and maintain harmonious relationships with current and future families, remaining a part of their lives for all of their upcoming celebratory milestones
