I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice. I've been married since 2006 to my wife, Ellen and we have three beautiful children: Kate, Meredith, and Owen.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so happy to have Lem LeRoy officiate our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first contacted him, he got back to us quickly and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Lem took the time to learn how to pronounce our family members' names correctly, which our guests really appreciated and noticed. He showed up right on time and delivered the ceremony exactly as we had planned it. His knowledge and friendly personality made everyone feel comfortable, and he helped set the perfect tone for our celebration. We would absolutely recommend Lem to any couple looking for an officiant who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making their day special.

Going through Michella photos is exactly what I was looking for! After speaking with her she was very understanding and helpful with finding a place for our engagement photos. She went above and beyond at one point of our wedding it started to rain and she asked if we wanted to take a picture. I agreed not knowing that the picture was going to come out amazing!!

  • Serves Chester, SC

The Famous Experience isn't a DJ booth in the corner, it's the reason your guests never sit down. We bring the energy of the best night out you've ever had to your wedding day, run with the precision of a luxury event. We don't just play songs, we read the room, tailor every playlist to your crowd, and tell your story through music. We start by listening: your must-plays, your never-plays, and the exact vibe you're chasing. Then we build the night around it. Let's plan the one they never stop talking about.

Our experience with FMG Event Company was fantastic. They provided fast, quick responses throughout the planning process, which helped keep us calm and confident. The quality of their work was truly professional and high-caliber - our DJ was able to seamlessly handle music from different cultural backgrounds, and his calm demeanor really stood out compared to other DJs we had considered. He clearly cared about making our special day perfect. Thanks to FMG, the music and entertainment were a highlight of our wedding that all our guests raved about!

I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!

Hi! I’m Steph, owner and lead wedding planner of SC Signature Celebrations, and your personal stress reliever. I’m a former educator turned wedding planner. I love balancing my creative spirit with my logistical expertise to make peoples’ dream days come true. After 8 years of event planning, I decided to focus on weddings because I’m passionate about creating lifelong memories. I’m here to collaborate with you on creating your dream wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning almost two years before our wedding, Steph completely understood our vision. She never tried to steer us toward what a wedding "should" look like—instead, she encouraged us to create a day that felt authentic to us, even when our choices were a little unconventional. Having someone who genuinely supported what *we* wanted made the entire planning process so much less stressful. She also somehow managed to talk me through every single one of my little wedding planning menty b's. Whether I was spiraling over tiny details or showing up with what felt like completely unhinged ideas or last-minute thoughts, she never made me feel like I was being ridiculous. She listened, reassured me, and somehow always found a way to make me feel calm and confident again. Having someone who could balance professionalism with that level of kindness and patience made all the difference. The greatest gift Steph gave us was our wedding day. I can honestly say I have no idea if anything went wrong, because if it did, we never knew about it. My husband and I were able to be fully present with each other and soak in every moment. We never left each other's side, and at one point we even snuck away during the reception for a little nap because we were feeling overstimulated. Instead of worrying about timelines, logistics, or putting out fires, we got to experience the day exactly as we had hoped: together. It wasn't until days and even weeks after the wedding that we learned some guests had opinions about a few of our non-traditional choices, like not taking formal photos with every single guest or taking time for ourselves during the reception. The fact that we didn't know any of that in the moment is a testament to Steph. She protected our peace and made sure we stayed in our own little magical bubble all day long. Looking back, that's what stands out the most. Our wedding wasn't perfect because everything went exactly according to plan—it was perfect because we got to be completely present with each other, free from stress and outside expectations. That is an incredible gift, and one we'll always be grateful for. Steph is so much more than an amazing wedding planner. After nearly two years of planning together, she's become a friend, and I can't imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, advocate for your vision, calm your anxieties, embrace your wild ideas, and make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, Steph is the person you want by your side.

Nata Rivers Wedding Content Creator 
Rating: 4.8 (16 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Chester, SC

I am a wedding content creator — not a traditional videographer. I create vertical, behind-the-scenes wedding content filmed on iPhone and designed for social media and personal sharing. This service focuses on real, candid moments — anticipation before the ceremony, emotional reactions, and in-between moments that often go unseen. I work alongside photographers and videographers to complement their work, delivering modern content with fast turnaround so couples can relive and share their day almost immediately.

Working with Nata was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calming, positive, and joyful energy that made her feel less like a vendor and more like a trusted friend celebrating alongside us. She made time to meet with me prior to the wedding to answer all my questions, understand my vibe and get an understanding of how I was feeling about the wedding and what I wanted to capture. She was incredibly intentional about capturing every special moment and detail throughout the day. Nothing escaped her creative eye, from the big emotional moments to the small details that made our wedding uniquely ours. She somehow managed to be everywhere at once while remaining unobtrusive, allowing us to stay fully present and enjoy every moment. What truly sets Nata apart is her ability to tell a story. The reels she created are absolutely stunning. Her editing is thoughtful, artistic, and beautifully captures the emotion, energy, and essence of the day. Every reel feels like a work of art and instantly transports us back to those moments, which has been great since I didn't realize how much I'd want to remanence about it so soon. Beyond her talent, Nata was simply a joy to have around. She is kind, professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We are so grateful for the memories she preserved for us and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone to capture the heart of your story, Nata is exceptional.

Owner Faith Truesdale has worked as a bartender since 2017. Driven by her love for crafting unique cocktails and creating memorable experiences, Faith went into business on her own. She brought together her creative flair, extensive knowledge of spirits & flavors, and the best team of bartenders she knows, and Traveling Tavern was born!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith was so dang awesome! My original bartender canceled on me 6 weeks before my wedding and Faith from the Traveling Tavern saved the day! She was so organized and was very clear what was included in her services. She was great with the guests and so incredibly nice! She has all the equipment you would need for a wedding bar, so definitely inquire about what she has before you rent any bar equipment or tables from other rental places! I CANNOT RECCOMMEND HER ENOUGH! She will for sure make your wedding planning easier and your wedding drinks so special. I wish I had found her sooner, but I am so thankful it worked out and she was able to help me make our wedding so awesome! After the wedding I had so many guests commenting on how wonderful Faith was. I HIGHLY recommend Faith! - Photo by: Dani Keane Photography
