Planning your wedding is exciting—but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming. Between Pinterest boards, online reviews, and everyone’s well-meaning advice, it’s hard to know who to trust.

That’s why I’ve put together this list of my preferred wedding vendors right here in the Upstate—people I’ve personally worked with, who show up with professionalism, kindness, and creativity every single time. These are the florists who make magic with blooms, the planners who keep everything running seamlessly, the hair and make-up artists who make you feel your best, the DJs who keep the dance floor full, and the bakers whose cakes are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Each one of them cares deeply about their couples (just like I do) and goes above and beyond to make sure your day feels effortless and unforgettable.

Take a look around, and start building your dream team, you’re in good hands with any of these talented folks.
