Your Perfect Day Events

Liz Isennock owns Your Perfect Day Events, a wedding planning company headquartered in Charleston with sister planners covering coastal Georgia, the Asheville area, and Baltimore. In the Lowcountry specifically, a planner named Caroline handles month-of coordination while Liz covers full and partial planning for South Carolina's coast and coastal Georgia.

The company prices every tier as a percentage of the wedding's total budget, with a stated dollar minimum. Month-of coordination is billed at 5 percent of budget with a $1,750 minimum, and includes an initial planning meeting, a decor meeting, weekly check-in calls the month of the wedding, vendor communication, and 48-hour on-site coordination through cleanup. Partial planning is billed at 7.5 percent with a $2,000 minimum and adds eight planning meetings and event design. Full planning is billed at 10 percent with a $3,000 minimum and adds twelve monthly meetings, vendor booking assistance, and website and invitation design.

Couples budgeting for a flat number rather than a percentage should expect at least the published minimum for their tier, since the percentage pushes the price higher on larger events. The company also publishes flat rates for smaller services outside weddings, including elopements and proposals starting at $500.
