Q: How often do we need to come to Charleston for planning meetings?

A: It is entirely dependent on your schedules! We love as much face time as possible, but if you can only make a visit one time due to busy schedules, we can do everything else virtual! We are equipped to do most planning via email, zoom, and visual design decks if needed.

Q: How far in advance can we book your services?

A: The sweet spot is booking between 10-16 months as this gives us plenty of time to plan without feeling rushed. However, we do book outside of that if the stars align. We focus our attention on our clients as soon as their contract is solidified and want to be sure each client is getting the attention they deserve leading up to their day.
