Here’s how we guide you through the journey:

1. A Foundation of Meetings, Vision Work & Design Conversations

We begin with in-depth conversations to understand the heart of your celebration—your priorities, your aesthetic, and the guest experience you want to create.

Together we:
• Explore design ideas and emotional tone
• Review color palettes, inspiration, and styling details
• Discuss venue options that fit your vision
• Identify priorities that shape your budget and booking strategy

These early meetings set the stage for the cohesive, elevated design your wedding will become.

2. Vendor Curation & Building Your Dream Team

We don’t send random lists—we curate recommendations intentionally.

Your vendor team is selected based on:
• Aesthetic compatibility
• Personality fit
• Budget alignment
• Service quality
• Proven professionalism

Because of our trusted industry network, couples often benefit from insider knowledge, better alignment, and more efficient decision-making. We walk you through each option, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident in every choice.

3. A Detailed, Month-by-Month Planning Checklist

Organization is where we shine. You’ll receive:
• A custom, phased planning checklist
• Actionable monthly to-dos
• Deadlines broken down into manageable pieces
• Guidance on what to tackle first (and what can wait)
• Clear next steps after every call or meeting

This ensures planning never feels overwhelming—and keeps us beautifully ahead of schedule.

4. Monthly Check-Ins & Questionnaire Touchpoints

Every month, we connect with you to review progress, answer questions, and address any emerging needs.

We also use curated questionnaires throughout your planning journey to uncover details big and small, including:
• Design preferences
• Guest experience priorities
• Family dynamics
• Traditions to honor
• Ceremony and reception nuances

This helps us know your vision inside and out — so deeply that by your wedding day, we are anticipating your needs before you even think of them.

Crafted Charm was built from years of art, design, and interior styling experience, combined with a heart for hospitality and storytelling. Our background brings a refined, artistic, and highly intentional approach to every celebration.

We were established in 2017 and our team collectively has over 20 years experience in the wedding industry.

Our floral minimum is $3,000 and our floral pricing is based on season, scale of design, installation needs, and delivery requirements. We will discuss your floral goals in detail to create a proposal that aligns beautifully with your vision and investment.

Most couples begin 12–18 months before their date. Prime venues and vendors book early, and starting sooner allows space for intentional design and decision-making.

After understanding your priorities, style, and budget, we curate a custom vendor team aligned with your vision — photographers, videographers, catering, rentals, entertainment, floral, and more. We only recommend vendors we trust to elevate your experience.

We design and plan weddings throughout Charlotte, Rock Hill, Asheville, Lake Norman, and Columbia and surrounding areas. We work at venues such as the Mint Museum Uptown, The Revelry, The Morehead Inn, Providence Cotton Mill, Venues at Langtree, and many more.
We also love discovering new properties and private estates.

Unlike a venue coordinator who focuses solely on the logistics of their property, our elite Charlotte wedding planners are dedicated exclusively to you. We provide comprehensive planning, vendor coordination, and design expertise that goes beyond the venue—ensuring that every detail, from your floral arrangements to your grand exit, is flawlessly executed.

From Full-Service Planning and Month-Of Coordination to bespoke floral design, we offer tailored wedding packages to suit every couple’s needs—allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey.

We serve couples seeking a design-forward, deeply personal wedding experience. Our specialty includes romantic garden-inspired weddings, editorial aesthetics, immersive guest experiences, and celebrations where planning, design, and florals are seamlessly integrated.

At Crafted Charm, our planning style is elegant, intentional, and deeply personal—a seamless blend of refined design, strategic organization, and meaningful storytelling.

We approach every wedding with equal parts artistry and precision. While some planners focus solely on details and others center entirely on design, we believe the magic happens when both worlds work together. Our process ensures the logistics support the vision, and the vision enhances the guest experience.

What defines our planning style:

Design-Led Planning
Every decision is guided by your story, your aesthetic, and the emotional tone you want your day to hold. We curate cohesive visual experiences—from florals to floor plans to lighting—that feel timeless rather than trendy.

Calm, High-Touch Guidance
Our communication is warm, professional, and steady. We anticipate needs, minimize stress, and keep you organized with clear steps, structured timelines, and thoughtful check-ins. You always know exactly where you are in the process.

Detail-Oriented Precision
While the design sets the mood, the logistics protect the experience. We build airtight timelines, coordinate vendors flawlessly, and manage every moving part with quiet, confident expertise.

Relationship-Driven Approach
We invest time in truly understanding you—not just your wedding vision, but who you are as a couple. This allows us to craft celebrations that feel authentic, heartfelt, and intentional.

Value-Focused Strategy
With deep industry insight and strong vendor relationships, we help you maximize your investment, avoid common pitfalls, and allocate funds where they matter most.

Collaborative, Vendor-Loving Teamwork
We believe weddings are most successful when all professionals work together seamlessly. Vendors love working with us because we’re organized, respectful, creative, and always prepared.

A Seamless Planning Experience
Your planning journey should feel enjoyable, not overwhelming. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: celebrating your engagement and the life you’re building together.

We begin with your story — the way you live, what inspires you, how you want your guests to feel. From there, we build a layered design plan with intentional details, color theory, textures, lighting, and florals that reflect your unique aesthetic. Every design is crafted exclusively for each couple.

Ideally, as early as possible. Hiring your planner at the beginning of your engagement ensures you have expert guidance during the most important decisions—venue selection, budget structuring, vendor booking, and setting the overall vision for your day.

When you bring us in early, you immediately benefit from:
• Access to our trusted vendor network, often with preferred partner pricing that can save you money
• Professional budget strategy to help you invest wisely and avoid overspending
• Planning tools and systems that eliminate stress, overwhelm, and disorganization
• Design guidance from day one, ensuring every choice feels cohesive and intentional
• A streamlined booking order, so you don’t miss out on high-demand vendors
• The ability to avoid costly mistakes, logistical mishaps, or common first-timer pitfalls

Hiring a planner early doesn’t just make planning easier—it saves time, protects your budget, and sets the foundation for a seamless, beautifully coordinated wedding day.

Yes. Our couples receive a personalized planning portal with checklists, timelines, budget trackers, floor plans, RSVP tracking, design boards, wedding website creation and curated resources. We also use platforms for 3D design renderings and precise timelines.

Pricing varies based on scope, guest count, and design needs. In the Charlotte market, full-service planning typically ranges from $7,000–$15,000+ with high-end and experience planners often exceeding that depending on customization.

Our planning and design packages are tailored to align with your vision and level of support.

Yes. Financial clarity is a core part of our process. We guide you through realistic investment ranges, allocate your budget intentionally, and help you make wise decisions that maximize both beauty and value.

We craft your entire visual story — color palette, textures, lighting, florals, tabletop design, installations, and elevated guest experiences. Using on-line design platforms we curate samples, and design decks, and we create a cohesive aesthetic from ceremony to reception.

Whether you envision romantic garden elegance, editorial modern minimalism, or a deeply personal fusion of influences, we translate your story into an intentional aesthetic that feels timeless and authentically yours.
