Charleston Weddings Magazine

We are so excited to be featured not once but twice in the latest issue of Charleston Weddings Magazine!

This past summer we were so happy to be apart of a 20 year vow renewal at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island.  The two day event began with a welcome party when guests arrived to the island, followed the next day with the Vow Renewal ceremony, dinner, and dancing by candle light.  How romantic!

Secondly our favorite florist, Judy Johnston did the flowers for the photo shoot featured in the magazine.  Not only can her work be seen in the magazine, but more images of the flowers can be seen online at http://www.charlestonmag.com/weddings/main.

 

 

 

In the latest issue of Charleston Weddings Magazine, Engaging Events was featured in an article about planning your Vow Renewal, based on the 20 year vow renewal we did this past summer at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island!

“A vow renewal ceremony is so special because it celebrates where the couple has been, where they are now, and where they want to be,” says Cindy Zingerella of Engaging Events. When Sonya and Robert, married 20 years, wanted to commemorate the spot of their first kiss (outside the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island), they hired Cindy to create the “wedding” Sonya had always dreamed of. Cindy created a flower-filled setting that framed the couple as they spoke their vows and threw an elegant dinner resplendent in white.”

Cooper River Room

November 5, 2011

Caitlin and Chris were married at St. Andrew’s Church in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant.

They followed up the ceremony with a reception at the Cooper River Room at Mt. Pleasant’s waterfront park. This is a really neat venue and we were excited to be designing an event there. The view is spectacular and the venue is unique and flexible in its use.

In Lieu of a guest book, Caitlin chose to have her guests “Leaf” their signature on their new family tree!

Guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn, followed by dinner in the Cooper River Room- Caitlin’s color scheme was so pretty for fall, charcoal grey and apple/pear green and ivory. We used beautiful button linens from Connie Duglin Linens in ivory accenting them with charcoal grey runners and then Judy our florist helped finish it off with bouquets of green hydrangae.

 

Guests enjoyed a “Beer Rita” as the specialty drink- yes you guessed it- a margherita meets beer- created by the fabulous crew at Mosaic Catering.

Guests dance the night away to the sounds of Soulfish, in a tent bedazzled with Engaging Events chandeliers, and comfy cozy lounge furniture.

Caitlin, Chris, and all their family and friends had a great time…we wish them many happy years to come….

In case you missed it here’s a link to the full blog post!

Charleston Wedding From Engaging Events + Liz Duren

 

We are so excited to that Abbey and Joseph’s wedding at the Historic Thomas Bennett House was featured on Style Me Pretty!

“This vintage Charleston affair is preppy chic in it’s finest. The green and pink palette definitely have a certain something on their own, but teamed up with the vintage milk glass, gorgeous flowers, and tea party ambiance, all courtesy of the lovely team at Engaging Events, this wedding is perfectly layered and nothing but beautiful.”

The Historic Rice Mill

October 22, 2011

Laura and Jason tied the knot at The Church of Holy Communion on Ashley Avenue. The church is a beautiful place of worship..but what made it even more beautiful to this fabulous couple was its history….to her family….Laura’s grandparents and parents were also married at this church….what a wonderful tradition for her to make her own….

They followed the wedding with a fantastic reception at the Historic Rice Mill..many thanks to the crew of Good Food Catering for another fantastic event.

Elaine Mincey created the cake; a design featuring “ruffles” of icing…one of Laura’s favorite fashion trends…


We used the Engaging Events lounge furniture in the beautiful Marina room - a room with 3 walls of windows overlooking the marina and harbour. We paired our fun lamps with the sofa seating areas, which were adorned with throw pillows in the custom fabric we used throughout the design of the event. Laura created a fabric on a custom fabric website we then used the pattern as a  band and envelope liner in her invitation suite – created by Studio R Designs. We followed that up with using the fabric for throw pillows, runners and other custom accents. A printable vellum of the pattern to cover our glass cylinders helped to  customize the design of this wedding.

The fabric could even be found on our pendant lights on the patio!

One of our favorite flowers is the orchid and the one shown above is called “Sexy Blue” doesn’t the name just make you want to buy it?!

In any case they looked fantastic paired with the custom runner….

We tented the open patio at the Rice Mill using a white tent with liner and lighting it with the  Engaging Events crystal chandeliers. A White plantation bar from Snyder Event Rentals, and the Engaging Events white back bar shelves added to the patio’s charm. The raw bar provided by Good Food Catering…didn’t hurt the popularity of this spot that nite either:)

We wish Laura and Jason many happy years of marriage and were thrilled to be a part of their day!
