Party planner jobs4/4/2024 ![]() I also transitioned from a real estate development job in NC (I had been driving an hour each way) to a job with a local festival downtown in Greenville, SC (and my commute is now one mile). I did want to pop on here and let anyone who happens upon this page know what’s been going on and that, yes, I am still very much active in my wedding coordination business.Īs I said, in 2016, I coordinated twenty-one weddings, including one in Philadelphia for a sweet acquaintance of mine from the event world. With twenty-one weddings last year and a new full-time job, chatting with anyone other than clients and vendors about wedding details has officially fallen to the wayside… ![]() To say that this blog has been neglected would be an understatement. Off-site wedding rehearsals work because a rehearsal consists of three components: all of your wedding party is traveling in from out of town and it’s only available at 9AM or it would include a lot of travel time to get everyone there and back). We do not have to be in the actual ceremony venue for the rehearsal if the space isn’t available at all the day before the wedding or the time that it would be available isn’t practical (i.e. I always encourage my clients to not worry because I have a lot of experience with off-site rehearsals. Many venues are not able to guarantee you access for a rehearsal because it’s still a day where they would be able to rent out the space for another event. The wedding industry is growing in Greenville, and you see a lot of Friday (and Sunday) weddings during the busy season (and sometimes just because). Typically in the beginning stages of planning the wedding, after falling in love with or after booking the venue, it becomes apparent that the space most likely will not be available for the ceremony rehearsal. This is a conversation that I have with a majority of my clients. And, come talk to me, I’ll tell you where to enjoy all of the best bites while you’re in town scouting. If you are looking for a great spot to entertain your guests all weekend and create a gorgeous, memorable day – look no farther! Greenville, SC is the new spot for destination weddings. Guests even have the Saturday Market to entertain them for the earlier part of the day, before the newlywed couple wows them with a fabulous wedding just down the street! Don’t even get me started on how many restaurants there are, there’s something for everyone (with many great options for rehearsal dinner/private dining location as well). There are also 10+ venues located along Main Street, with others just a short car ride away. There are currently eight major hotels located along Main Street, with a many additional hotels being added in the next year. Greenville can offer couples a more affordable option for a gorgeous wedding, too! With the help of some visionary leaders, Greenville has been transformed and is now on many of the top destination lists!Ī huge plus for those couples seeking a destination wedding location is the walk-able downtown (with hotels, restaurants, and venues in close proximity), the ease of travel ( GSP Airport is 20 minutes away), and the climate (although we can get warm, we don’t get very cold). People would come downtown to work, and then they would leave. A few decades ago, Main Street was not a place to go visit. One of the main reasons why Greenville, SC makes such a great destination wedding location is the fact that the downtown area has been carefully and purposefully developed. ![]() Their connection to the city was that the groom’s parents owned a second home nearby, and they had fallen in love with Greenville while visiting (not hard to imagine)! As my sweet little city has grown throughout the years, it has become a fabulous destination wedding location! Not so long ago, I had a group who traveled down from Chicago for a beautiful wedding at the Cliffs Glassy Chapel and Wyche Pavilion.
