Detailed Weddings & Events, is a South Carolina Midland's based full-service, partial service and day-of wedding and event planning, coordinating, consulting, designing and honeymoon-planning company located in Sumter, SC and is 44 miles east of Columbia, SC.  It is veteran owned, and the owner has studied the business of weddings and events and is a graduate of America's #1 wedding, floral and event design school, The Institute of Wedding & Event Design (IWED), and she is an American Marriage Ministries wedding officiant.  

 

The owner has attended several colleges and universities throughout her miliary career, but had never decided upon a major.  Print journalism and radio broadcasting  were her initial pursuits, and these career fields have led to past employment opportunities as a newspaper editor and a small and major-market radio broadcaster. Small and major-market radio jobs have helped her to become a well-rounded event speaker and/or emcee.  

 

Some of you may ask, what is the difference between a planner, coordinator, consultant and a designer?.  Here is an explanation of the differences for each title.  A planner is involved in planning a wedding or event from the beginning and to its end.  A coordinator creates a day-of schedule before the event or wedding day and coordinates the formalities of the day and helps to keep the timeline on track.  A consultant answers questions and provides etiquette guidelines for a wedding or an event host needing assistance with his or her plans.  A designer specializes in the aesthetics, and layout, such as floor plans, lighting, flowers, furniture, linens, and attire. etc.  In our opinion, planners, coordinators, consultants and designers all perform the same jobs, but some involve more physical work than others or none at all, as in the case of a consultant whom explains how and why something is done or serves as a guide.

 

At Detailed Weddings & Events, we offer all four of the aforementioned services.  With our certified event styling and educated planning, coordination and floral designs.  We will make every effort to transform your vison into a reality.  We will also be there to manage all of the details and logistics.  We strive to ensure that every step along the way is enjoyable, from our very first meeting until the end of your seamless event. 

 

We are dedicated to making your event truly yours with a cohesive design that exudes sophistication along with the small details that can be easily forgotten.  Our bespoke (one-of-a-kind) coordination, planning and design services extend beyond the color palette and venue selection and encompasses everything from set-up to break-down, while helping to make a wedding or event affordable.

 

Detailed Weddings & Events allow wedding 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 on our services with a keen attention to the details. 

​

If you hire us,  you will receive all of the pomp, glitz, glamour and elegance as you would from a more matured wedding or event planning company and all at a price that is easy to afford.   We will also provide you with our online client portal that can be accessed any time of the day, and it also organizes all of the details about your big day and keeps Detailed Weddings & Events informed of completed tasks .  Essentially, the client portal is a dedicated communication tool for a couple and their planner.

 

The secret to having an affordable wedding or event, is to give yourselves enough time to pay off all debts before the big day.  One year out is a great time to start, as the closer it is to your wedding or event day, the more costly it can become.  Although we accept clients on a 3-month or 6-month timeline, wedding clients are best served when the planning process is initiated a year out or longer.

 

Additionally, we encourage clients to purchase wedding or event insurance with WEDSAFE Insurance, Wedding Protector Plan or Markel Event Insurance, in order to protect against losses, such as lost deposits, no shows, lost rings, damaged wedding dress, cancellations, wedding attendant illnesses, venue closings, fires or the onset of a pandemic, such as COVID that previously delayed or derailed planned celebrations at booked venues.

​

Individuals and couples should consider that whatever company they choose to help with their wedding or event plans, they will have to live with their decisions, but be sure to get everything in writing.  Some of the decisions made, may affect the stability of their loving families and may also create emotional rifts within.  

 

With the professional guidance of Detailed Weddings & Events, we hope that clients will make wise decisions that will help to keep them and their families happy and able to move forward without any regrets.  Lastly, we hope that we can help to maintain or bridge a harmonious relationship with current and/or future families, and remain in their lives for all of their celebratory milestone to come.
