Planning a wedding in Charleston

Charleston is a destination wedding city: the historic district, Mount Pleasant, and plantation and island settings on Johns Island and West Ashley, with Beaufort and Myrtle Beach further along the coast.

Lazo lists 96 wedding planners and coordinators across 13 towns. A planner who knows the area's venues and drive times earns their fee on a spread-out metro.

Wedding season

March to May and October to November. Spring and fall are peak; summer heat and humidity are intense and hurricane season runs June to November.

When to book

Book a wedding planner 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. Booking order for every vendor →

Typical cost

$800-$4,500+ nationally. Lazo doesn’t hold verified Charleston prices yet, so ask each vendor for packages. Cost guide →

South Carolina marriage license

From the county probate court: $30–$100, a 1-day waiting period; no witnesses are needed. Details →

Lazo’s picks: wedding planners in Charleston

12 picks · read 2026-10-12

We read the website of every Charleston wedding planner listed on Lazo (77 listings, 62 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: officiants, beach-ceremony package sellers, a wedding chapel, a multi-service chain, and a multi-office planning company. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Three things to ask every wedding planner in Charleston
  1. Which downtown venues have you run recently, and how do you handle the historic district's noise cutoffs and street-closure permits?
  2. Full planning, partial, or month-of: what does each tier include in hours, meetings and vendor management?
  3. Who is on site on the wedding day, you or an associate, and how many weddings does your team take per weekend?

Wedding Planners in Charleston: questions couples ask

When is wedding season in Charleston?

Peak season in Charleston runs March to May and October to November. Spring and fall are peak; summer heat and humidity are intense and hurricane season runs June to November.

How far ahead should we book a wedding planner in Charleston?

Plan on 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding planner can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.

How much does a wedding planner cost in Charleston?

Most couples spend $800-$4,500+. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Charleston, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding planner for their packages.

What time is sunset for a May wedding in Charleston?

Around 8:11 PM on May 15, with golden hour from about 7:36 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:26 PM works.

How do we get a marriage license in South Carolina?

Apply with the county probate court. The fee is $30-$100 and there is a 1-day waiting period. No witnesses are needed.
