We are Richelle and Nicole, the duo behind Love, Evermore Events. Based in the Carolinas, we create weddings that look like editorial dreams and run with absolute precision. We believe every couple deserves a professional advocate who values the marriage as much as the party, which is why we never enforce minimum budgets. Our mission is to make sure you show up as the guest of honor, fully present in every moment while we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

“I don’t know how to put into words how incredible Richelle was. Love, Evermore was the best decision we made for our wedding! Richelle was invaluable to us, she made everything flow effortlessly! Through the initial talk with Nicole and then our video call with Richelle, we knew they were the team for us. Richelle had a design call with us, then a design day looking at linens, walking through our Venus and through every step of the way, she gave me such amazing feedback, advice and logistics! Wedding week arrived and she was on top of everything! I was going to make 4 table florals but I ran out of time- Richelle made them (and she may should also be a florist bc OH MY WORD!!! The florals were everything I could have dreamed!!!). We held our ceremony at French Quarter Inn and cocktail hour and dinner at Circa 1886, we ended up having to move inside due to threat of rain, and Richelle made that so seamless! I truly cannot image how our day would have been without her. I gained a friend and I am so thankful for her and for Love, Evermore! If you’re looking for a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Love, Evermore. I promise you, it’ll be the best wedding decision you make!”

“Sean Faustina is truly more than a wedding coordinator. She is an ordained minister, planner, organizer, and most importantly, someone who genuinely cares about the people she works with. Her philosophy goes beyond simply bringing two people together in matrimony; she approaches every ceremony with love, care, and intention. Sean is incredibly clear and communicative throughout the entire process, making sure couples understand each step and feel supported along the way. With over 5–6 years of experience, she brings professionalism and confidence to every wedding, but when you meet her, it feels like she’s been doing this her whole life. She treats her clients like guests in her own home, not just customers, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, personal, and stress-free. Sean is friendly, organized, punctual, and knows when to be gentle and when to be firm to keep everything running smoothly. Her pricing is always fair for the level of care, time, and effort she puts into her work. If you’re looking for someone who is clear, warm, dependable, and truly invested in your marriage, not just your wedding day, I highly recommend giving Sean a call.”

“Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.”

I’ve worked in everything from venue management, catering to festival planning and corporate events but my first love is all things WEDDINGS!

Daisha was incredible from day one—she responded to every question quickly and handled every detail with care. She managed our flowers too, which meant we truly didn't have to worry about a thing. For over a year leading up to our wedding, the planning process felt effortless instead of stressful, and on our big day everything ran smoothly and looked exactly how we imagined it. If you're busy or tend to get overwhelmed, I'd say the full planning package is worth every penny. We'd recommend Calhoun Events Studio to anyone getting married.”

They answered every single question and worry I had along the way. They met with us in person when we needed to. They always wrote back when we messaged them. They used their decorations that they had for our wedding so that we wouldn’t have to buy extra things. They picked up linens, they dropped off our wedding license. They got to know all of our family members and made personal itinerary sheets for every person. Our wedding was enjoyable and beautiful and so memorable because of of these women.

“Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris! From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor. Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why. She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE! Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds. My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life. My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend. If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her!”

Balazs Events ǀ Wedding Planning, Design and Production

  • Serves Sumter, SC

As the Lead Planner and Creative Director of Balazs Events, I am passionate about curating weddings that feel intentional, elevated, and deeply personal. My love for event design began with a desire to celebrate life’s most meaningful milestones in unforgettable ways. Today, I specialize in full-service planning and multi-day productions for discerning couples who want a wedding experience that is as seamless as it is stunning. Every celebration I create is fueled by artistry, precision, and a genuine love for telling my clients’ stories through design.

“Where to even begin with Balazs Events...I could not imagine my wedding day without the magic that is Parris! From our first conversation, I knew Parris was the planner for us. My husband and I reached out to several premier planners in South Carolina, but Parris stood out immediately for her lightning fast replies, genuine curiosity and interest in our vision, and her warm, friendly demeanor. Parris is a pro. Her contact list of vendors has been curated to the very best and we enjoyed listening to everyone from the florist to the caterer to the live painter all gush about how she's their favorite planner to work with. It's easy to see why. She comes to every meeting prepared with questions, a list of what she's finished since our last conversation, charts, diagrams, everything. As a Type A woman in business myself, it brought me so much joy to see her lay out a printed floor plan of the venue, detailed down to the outlets in the walls, at every meeting and watch it grow in detail as time went on. She kept us on schedule, on budget, and most importantly, STRESS FREE! Leading up to the wedding, Parris was diligent with ensuring we hit every crucial milestone and secured our vendors early. She worked in plenty of vendor discounts along the way, and made sure to incorporate every element from the big ticket items we knew we wanted from day 1 (looking at you, light up dance floor) to the last minute details we just couldn't get off our minds. My favorite thing about planning my wedding with Parris is that she let me take the reins on whatever was important to me and made everything else just...happen. So effortlessly it was like magic. I felt her constant commitment to making sure the day had my signature on it, even down to a few last minute changes I requested that she somehow brought to life. My wedding day was genuinely the happiest day of my life. Parris planned every last detail. The sheer level of detail in her complete day-of schedule is seriously reason enough to book her. If there were any issues with vendors, guests, etc., I have still not heard about them over a month later. I was completely stress free and was able to be fully present in the bliss that comes from marriage to your best friend. If you are planning a large wedding, call Parris. If you are planning a small, intimate wedding, call Parris. If you aren't sure where to start, call Parris. If you already know what you want, call Parris. She is the premier planner in Columbia, SC for a reason. She is a true professional and my only regret is that I will not get the chance to plan another wedding with her! PS: I did not use any AI to write this! It is straight from the heart :)”
