We worked with Ooh! Events for our wedding rentals, florals, planning and day-of coordination. Working with Erin was such a fun process! My engagement was 10 months and Erin was eager to get started with me and kept us in line for everything that needed to get accomplished. I highly recommend working with Ooh! to streamline vendors and have one point of contact for the most important touch points of your wedding day! Thank you Erin!!!
Our original wedding date was 6/6/2020, our rescheduled date was 9/26/2020, our attempted re-re-scheduled date was 10/21/2021. We had vendor contracts locked in, then fall through due to COVID and were left scrambling for replacements. Through it all, Ooh! Events was there for us in helping us work with all of our vendors, and pulling together a scaled down vision for our nuptials. With the help of Sara G. and Hannah S., we had a micro-wedding on 9/26/2020 on a hotel rooftop in downtown Charleston. The design they pulled together was by far, much better than our original vision and i wouldn't change a thing - i told them then, and i would say it again, they CRUSHED IT!!! Sara G. was incredibly professional and flexible when it came to all of our hurdles, and we couldn't thank her enough for helping us through it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us make our micro wedding feel like the real thing!
We hired Ooh! for full service planning since I live in NYC and my wedding was in Charleston, SC. They were excellent, detail-oriented, and personal from the very first phone call where I discussed my ideas for the wedding to the actual day. Our coordinator, Shea, was the absolute best. In addition to being so kind and friendly, she made me feel completely at ease planning from afar. She was responsive, reliable, and navigated any issue or problem that arose quickly and painlessly. She provided guidance in a way that helped me create an atmosphere for the wedding even better than I could have hoped for. While the weather for our event was not as expected (upper 30s and rainy), she was able to improvise and talk my family and I through all our options in a way that we felt calm and relaxed the whole time. I truly cannot recommend Ooh! and Shea highly enough!
I rented lounge furniture and bars through Ooh! Events for my wedding (Spring 2016) and the aesthetic and quality of the rentals were excellent. I cannot speak of the customer service, as my wedding planner did the coordination, however their website is easy to browse and includes prices, making it a great shopping experience for me.
Great customer service! They have a large selection of place settings. The gold flat ware is truly of quality.
Ooh Events and Emily Parham made our wedding a completely stress free experience. All the girls there have incredible taste and I felt 100% comfortable with Emily. I knew she would handle everything just as I would. The team at Ooh Events was hyper-organized, well connected in the industry, and allowed me to be as hands-on (or off) as I wanted. They have the largest selection of rentals and flowers and were so accommodating to any budget concerns I had. Someone once told me: "You should pick the planner you feel is your best friend--someone you can cry in front of, laugh with, and tell anything to." And Emily was just that. They executed our wedding perfectly and made it an absolute dream. Even my other vendors commented on what an excellent job they did. Can't thank Emily and the rest of the team enough.
Words fail to truly express our gratitude to Shea and Emily during the planning of our daughter s wedding. Since we are not from Charleston but chose it as the wedding destination, we knew we needed someone who had the experience and know how to navigate the particulars of the wedding. From beginning to the end of planning, Shea and Emily made us feel comfortable and confident with the planning process. Ooh Events warehouse is a dream to walk through and there is something for every taste and design. We have been flooded with messages, calls and texts from guests who said this is by far the best wedding and reception they have ever attended. For that, I thank Ooh Events and most importantly Shea and Emily!
Rented lounge furniture, bars & decorations for a wedding in historic Charleston. The quality of the rentals and the professional service from Ooh! Events was excellent! Highly recommend!
I m very happy I chose Ooh Events for my wedding this past October. Emily was my coordinator and she was fantastic. She was always responsive, reliable, and very detail oriented. She was so helpful at wrapping up all the fine details of things from the day of timeline to the last minute group transportation we needed. At the beginning she was able to offer suggestions and recommendations which all proved to be helpful for us especially since we were planning a wedding from a different state. Emily always made herself available when we needed it and was extremely professional. My wedding day was stress free thanks to Emily and her assistant. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a wedding coordinator!
I have always LOVED working with OOH Events : ) I actually used them for rentals and flowers for my own wedding years ago and work with them frequently as a photographer! I just recently worked with Candice on a wedding, and the day went so smoothly. She is calm and laid back but also takes charge and makes sure the day runs smoothly, along with a being a really fun person! Everyone had such a great day!
I cannot describe how much I love working with everyone at Ooh! Events, its an amazing group of people! Their designers/event planners (Candice, Jerri, Erin, etc.) are some of the best in Charleston!! And their rental selection is unmatched. Love y'all!
Our wedding was PERFECT because of Ooh! Events and Emily! We truly could not have asked for a better day to get married. Between busy schedules and a crazy year, we were so grateful to have Emily guiding us through every step of the planning process. She took all our our stresses away!! We met with her to plan our florals and rental decor (we used Ooh! rentals and Out of Hand florals as well) and having everything integrated made planning a breeze. They have excellent taste and kept up with all of my changing plans with ease. On our wedding day, Emily had put together a detailed timeline and everything went off without a hitch!! Our whole day was absolutely breathtaking and I have received so many positive comments about how amazing everything was from start to finish.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and Ooh! Events! My wedding day was an absolute dream. If you are considering them, just go ahead and book! You will not regret it!!
My husband and I are so thankful for Emily Parham and her team and everything you did for us both leading up to our wedding but also during the wedding. The weather presented what seemed like it would be insurmountable challenges but Emily's team rose to the occasion and made it work in our favor. We were truly impressed with Emily's ability to not only adapt but also make sure that there was zero stress on our wedding day.
We had such a tremendous time at our wedding and we left Charleston wondering why other people always say wedding planning and the day of are so stressful. We feel like the last 18 months have gone by so smoothly and we have never really worried about any of it. Seeing the venue and watching our friends and family having the time of their lives celebrating us, we could not be happier with our decision to choose Ooh! Events and specifically choose Emily as our planner and coordinator. Emily Parham, you are AMAZING!
Anna Raquel was extremely helpful during the rental order process for my wedding. She went above and beyond in her many consultations. Much appreciated!
Destination wedding planner of the year and the next century is Candice Lorraine of Ooh! Events, Charleston, SC. The distance between us, NYC and PA, from the wedding location never hindered this professional, energetic and organized person. Her connections and recommendations to only the best in the business made this wedding a once in a lifetime event. Available by phone or email all hours of the day and night allowed the families to enjoy the anticipation of this special day. There was not a dream of this wedding day for which she did not deliver with her special talents and perseverance. Our family and friends have attended many weddings and continue to comment this was the best wedding event ever. We are grateful and blessed forever for having shared this special day with such a fabulous person and wedding planner, Candice Lorraine. We Love You!!!
Erin Horton is an exceptional planner and one of my favorites event pros to work with at events. She is insanely talented at design and decor and always creates flawless weddings for her clients! I highly recommend her to couples that are looking for a fun, talented planner that works endlessly to ensure that every wedding is amazing!
Planning a wedding from afar is always a tough thing when it comes to choosing vendors, but Ooh! Events immediately put me at ease! We used Ooh! Events for our event rentals which included tables, chairs, a bar, an alter, and decor. While walking through the warehouse with Rebecca, I knew that she understood exactly what we wanted and was willing to make that happen for a small wedding with a budget I know was smaller than they were used to. Rebecca was wonderful to work with and put together an amazing proposal. She even went out to the beach house we had rented and measured to ensure the rentals we had ordered would fit, since we were unable to do that being out of town. Keller took over our event shortly after, and picked up right where Rebecca left off. She made sure every detail was exactly how we had envisioned it, and did so without ever having met us! She emailed back and forth with me almost daily until things were perfect. I was so happy with how everything turned out--there were absolutely no disappointments. On the day of the event, a few things were forgotten at the warehouse and during load out a few things were left at the house, but Keller ensured that we were never put out by these things and everything got where it was supposed to be. I highly recommend Ooh! Events for event rentals. Take a walk through their warehouse and see all the beautiful things they have to offer!
Ooh events is the best. Everyone that works there is always so helpful and enthusiastic makes it a pleasure being there
There isn't enough space in this field for me to type all of the things I loved about my experience with Ooh! Events. First, I interviewed 9 wedding planning companies in Charleston and asked various questions, compared prices and ultimately made my decision to hire Ooh! Events. Something they had, that no one else had, was helpful software (Aisle Planner) that allowed me to track planning progress digitally and not have to constantly ask when things were done, or where executed contracts were, etc. Additionally, their team was very knowledgeable, without ever making me feel like a dumb bride or getting annoyed with me for asking questions; they never assumed I knew what they were talking about and always explained things in detail so I had a full grasp on status. The planning process leading up to the day was seamless and FUN! On the day of, I laugh at how disconnected to everything I was, yet how amazing everything turned out - it was like it just appeared before my eyes. I would recommend any planner at Ooh! Events, but I would be remiss if I didn't shout out and completely praise my extraordinary planner, Emily P. Emily is now literally one of my favorite people. I'm naturally an extrovert and I've always been good at relationship building, but Emily became a fast friend and resource within our first hour of ever talking (she was assigned to me by Shea, who I interviewed!) She is witty, smart, funny, and her vibe / expertise instantly makes you calm even if you're freaking out. I'm normally a "do not call me, text or email" operator, so between emails, texts and the times we'd chat on the phone, she never missed ONE detail. On calls, I would just ramble, and then get an email within an hour of hanging up of everyting we talked about - it was IMPRESSIVE. Speaking of rambling, I'm doing it now.. so I'll end with, I did all the work for you by interviewing 9 planning companies in CHS. Ooh! wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive and they/Emily were worth every penny and then some. Hire them ASAP!
Ooh Events was very hard to work with. The owner will show you wonderful pictures in their books and will do a great job of selling their service. If you are planning to use them for your wedding you should document everything but this will not guarantee you will get what you paid for. We had meetings with our coordinator as well their floral specialists. We went over every detail with them and showed them pictures of what we wanted. The budget was unlimited. We were willing to pay for what we wanted. When we walked into the wedding venue we realized the flowers were all wrong and Ooh had cut back on the sizes of the arrangements to the point of embarrassment.
Of course it was too late to change anything once we walked into the venue so we were stuck. After later wrangling with Ooh they offered us a store credit of nearly $1,000. The store credit added insult to injury. Who wants to do business with someone that just tainted your daughter's wedding. When we objected they made a partial payment by check. We then were forced to threaten a small claims law suit for the rest of the reimbursement before they issued another check to us. Both checks totaled less than the amount they admitted we were due.
We found Ooh rental prices to be higher than the competition to the point of being unreasonable. Don't fall for the "share with another wedding party" pitch like we did. This only brought them more business. There are a number of rental companies in Charleston that are less. The one we choose was very reliable and reasonable.
I decided to work with Emily Parham and Ooh Events because I was planning the wedding from Alaska, and they are a one stop shop . They have rentals, florals, wedding coordination and more! I chose to do the 60 day out wedding coordination and that really worked out well! With Emily helping with everything the day of the wedding, I felt so at ease and chill...I felt like a bride that didn t have a worry in the world. Everything turned out exactly how my husband and I planned and I could not be happier with Ooh Events! With their partner, Out of the Garden, my favorite was the floral arch that they put together. I chose an arch and they made it happen, it was beautiful! Thank you to Emily, Ooh Events, and Out of The Garden for helping my dream wedding come true.
I hired Ooh! Events for design and coordination as well as rentals for my October wedding at Lowndes Grove. As a COVID-19 bride, I fully anticipated a stressful planning process, but Ooh! Events and specifically Emily Parham, my planner, took all the stress and worry off my shoulders. Leading up to the wedding, no question was too frivolous to shoot her an email about and she was so great about sending helpful reminders about when I had upcoming vendor payments. She also TOTALLY NAILED the design aesthetic I was going for from the start! We tweaked maybe one or two things but otherwise it was absolutely perfect, and she came up with ideas I either had never thought of or didn t know was possible. However, our actual wedding day is where I believe Emily and her assistant Caroline shone brightest and earned MVP status in my heart forever. The forecast was showing rain right around our ceremony time (which was outdoors) and Emily kept me up to date on the forecast and suggested we start with cocktail hour and then do the ceremony once it cleared. I was good with that but when there seemed to be a break in the clouds, Emily suggested we get the ceremony in and instead do two half-hour cocktail hours. Everything worked out great and my husband and I actually got time alone before the ceremony to eat hors d oeuvres. I knew there were several hiccups during the reception as well but only because I saw Emily and her team handling them before they ever became an issue. In the midst of handling all these things, Emily kept in constant communication with me to ensure my husband and I always had a full/chilled glass of whatever we wanted to drink, something to eat and that we got to do everything we wanted at our reception. I absolutely credit her with the success and beauty of our wedding and am so thankful to her and Ooh! Events for making our wedding dreams a reality.
The BEST decision you could make in planning your wedding is hiring OOh! Candice and her entire team put together the most beautiful wedding I could have ever dreamed of. They were professional, well prepared and excellent at listening to my budget and vision. I had piece of mind knowing everything would be executed with the best quality service and they did not disappoint. Candice was reassuring to my slightly anxious mother, invaluable in providing the best recommendations in vendors and just a pure joy to be around. She loves her job and it is evident in all that she does. The services I received were simply the best.
I will forever recommend Ooh! Events to all of my friends and family!! They are truly a one stop shop which takes so much stress away during wedding planning. Ooh! Events handled our rentals, design, coordination and floral for our wedding and everything was PERFECT. Emily was our wedding planner and kept us informed every step of the way. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic was rough but Emily constantly let us know of the ever changing rules and had a solution to everything and every issue that arose! She really saved the day when our original videographer canceled on us less than 48 hours before our wedding. Within HOURS (and very early in the morning!) Emily was on the phone with us and potential new vendors trying to book a new videographer. All of our rentals and flowers were BEAUTIFUL and exactly what we envisioned. Ooh! Events truly took care of every single little detail. Even things we didn't realize we wanted or needed! From having our ceremony and reception go off without a hitch (which is a miracle in itself), to having Emily and Caroline pack our "to-go" bags in our getaway vehicle so we wouldn't forget anything, to even making sure we had ice cold drinks all night long, we were in the best hands with Ooh!. Hiring this team was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process.
Garbage all the way around. Bad service, prices are too high and the owner is a scam artist.
I've had the pleasure of working with Ooh! Events for a few weddings in the Lowcountry, and each time they have been absolutely amazing. Everything is always set up so beautifully and there are never any bumps along the way!
I attended a Sip and See Luncheon on Folly Beach on December 27th. The host had family and friends attend from California, Morocco, New York and Washington State. Had a great meal with amazing flowers - they conveyed a Folly Beach beach cottage to a lovely setting with potted plants, velvet chairs , and more. Emily and her crew was great and Cru Catering put out a delicious feast. James Smeel s cake was fantastic to see and to eat. Wonderful event!
Emily and Ooh Events were the perfect choice for our Charleston wedding. Emily thought of EVERYTHING and I so appreciated her making the day absolutely seamless. It is comical to think of how I would have faired without a planner like Emily, especially as an out of state bride. Our entire planning experience leading up to the big day was so pleasant. There was never pressure to choose certain things based on $ and Emily was more than willing to make adjustments in order to fit our budget. Ooh has their own in-house rentals and florals, which kept everything simple. As an out of state bride, having Emily guide me with vendor recommendations was such a time saver and I felt sure we would get quality people based on her experiences. I highly recommend Emily & Ooh Events!
Working with Emily at Ooh! Events was such a great experience and helped our wedding planning process go along so smoothly! Emily was great and easy to work with! She was great at communicating and getting back with us quickly. We were pains and had a lot of items for the wedding that we were providing ourselves as well and Emily was great about letting us have them shipped to her or bring them by so she had everything in one place. We were planning our wedding from Columbia, SC to be at Boone Hall in Mt. Pleasant and having her to help was a life saver. We not only used Emily as our wedding coordinator, but Ooh! Events as our decor rental and through them used Out of the Garden for florals. It was a one stop shop that completely simplified everything.
At our rehearsal she was great in keeping everyone, particularly the groomsmen, in line - and was even better at keeping everyone in line and everything running smoothly the day of! I had a clothing change during the reception and Emily was great at speeding me away at just the right time and helping me to change quickly and getting me back to the party. At the end of the night she did an amazing job making sure all of our personal items that we provided made it back on the trolley with my parents too.
I could not recommend Emily and Ooh! Events enough! It was a pleasure working with her and I can t thank her enough for all she did to help our big day go so smoothly
There is no better wedding planner / wedding planning business to work with for your big day than Erin Altman of Ooh! Events I guarantee it.
My wife, Emma, and I had the pleasure of working with Erin Altman from Ooh! Events for our wedding last April (2019), which took place at the William Aiken House in Charleston.
My only regret is not writing this review sooner, but I suppose Ferris was right when he said life moves pretty fast.
Erin absolutely knocked it out of the park in planning our wedding. I have never before or since had a more positive professional experience than the one I had with Ooh! Events thanks to Erin.
The planning process began with a few emails and telephone calls, and from there Erin spent plenty of time getting to know me and Emma, developing an understanding about what we were envisioning for our wedding, and making sure we understood the planning timeline down to a T making an otherwise stressful process a fun and easy one.
She was so responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire process, and truly catered to us in all regards. Erin had every little detail covered, which I cannot stress enough. And when the time came for our big day, she went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our wedding was perfect. While I ordinarily wouldn t include a detail like this in a review, I feel it s worth mentioning that Erin was in the late stages of pregnancy on our wedding day, and I truly marveled at how effortlessly she seemed to be everywhere at once making sure that our guests had the time of their lives, and that our wedding matched our vision entirely.
Also, above and beyond the various things Erin did as our wedding planner, Emma and I really enjoyed getting to know Erin through the planning process, and I can honestly tell you as I sit here a year and a half later, I miss all the fun we had planning our big day with Erin (and I m the HUSBAND saying all this!!!! Lol).
Erin Altman is a tremendous wedding planner, a consummate professional, and she and her employer, Ooh! Events, are second to none in the wedding-planning industry.
But I ll finish by saying this: Good people are too few and far between, and above all else, Erin is a great person. We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and Ooh! Events, and would recommend her/their services without hesitation for anyone planning a wedding in the area. Worth every penny, 5 stars, 10/10, the absolute best!
Thank you so much for everything!

I have used OOH events for several weddings and other occasions.
They have been wonderful to work with and I love their creative abilitity.
They have amazing one of a kind rentals and Lisa or Teri will help you to have
a very memorable events. Their flowers are also very creative and beautiful.
I loved working with them, and I look forward to working with them on many more
occasions. The great thing about Ooh Events, is that they will do as much as you
want or as little as you want. Some companies only want to work with you if you do
EVERYTHING with them. This also make Ooh Events reasonable to work with.
Where do I even start! First let me start by saying our venue required a wedding planner that was not a guest. When I heard this I was disappointed as I thought I could do it all myself. That being said I am beyond THRILLED they required this and could not have done it without Erin from Ooh Events.
From the start the process was so fun and exciting. Erin was so easy to talk to and understood my vision from day 1. We are from Boston and got married in Charleston and it was so helpful to have someone in the area to help us plan. As we couldn't meet in person often we did most of the planning via phone/email and it was seamless.
The thing that really took Ooh Events to the next level was their amazing warehouse full of things to rent. It seems silly to buy things (decorations etc) that you will only use once and then not know what to do with them post wedding. The warehouse and rentals took all of this stress away. They had so many cool things to pick from that made our wedding really unique. Not to mention it was great to get the linens etc all from the same place and not have to deal with multiple vendors.
I love being organized and Erin took that to the next level. Having a timeline planned out to the minute for our wedding day made everything run flawlessly. We felt like a queen and king on our wedding day. Erin was always one step ahead of me, even when it came to needing a glass of champagne. It was truly 5 star service, from making us each a plate of food, to sewing my dress back together when the strap popped off I cannot say enough good things!! I felt my only job on our wedding day was to relax and have fun and without Erin and Ooh Events this would not have been possible. Some of the vendors I barely even spoke with and they just showed up and did their job perfectly all thanks to Erin.
Looking back I could not imagine our wedding without a planner. And If you are looking for a planner look no further. Ooh Events and Erin exceeded all of my expectations. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams but we gained a friend in Erin who we hope to keep in touch with forever.
I cannot say enough good things. Xo
My Wife and I got married at the William Aiken House in Charleston, SC over memorial day weekend and could not have done it without Emily Parham at ooh events. She was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish and was always More
I love Ooh! Events because they have literally the coolest rentals ever!!!!!!!! We just recently got married at Old Roberds Dairy Farm and had Ooh! Events rentals for pretty much every rental besides linens and loved everything!!! They are easy to work with -- I probably changed my proposal 500 times but Lorita was always patient with me and changed everything for me. I loved the way everything looked and it was literally perfect! Highly recommend!!!!!!
We could not have been more pleased with our Day Of Coordinator with Ooh Events, Kathryn. She was very in tune to our wants and needs for the event, and had so many great ideas to add. She really understood the style and the atmosphere that we were going for, and made sure that she could fit it within our budget. I can't tell you the amount of times we had to make changes or adjustments, and Kathryn was so responsive and cooperative!
On the day of the wedding, we were truly able to relax and enjoy the event knowing that it was in such capable hands! Kathryn handled all of the bumps that came up with ease and professionalism. We were so pleased to have worked with Ooh Events on decor, coordination, and flowers as well. The flowers were stunning and we could not have been more pleased with the final product!
Thank you!
Ashley & Robert Magill-Collins
