Calm, clear wedding planning, made with care
Vestry Rose Weddings began on Marlowe Row with a simple conviction: planning a wedding should feel exciting and personal, never overwhelming, opaque or rushed.
How every couple is looked after
- 01 Focused attention
- 02 No commissions
- 03 A calm day

Act 01
Focused attention
Rather than juggling several overlapping events in one weekend, Vestry Rose Weddings takes twelve weddings a year on purpose. That limit means the lead planner knows the family dynamics, the look the couple want and every clause of the supplier contracts first-hand. One consultation is held open each week, and once the proposal is in writing the date is held for fourteen days.
-
Act 02
No commissions
Many planning firms quietly accept referral fees from caterers, florists or rental companies. Vestry Rose takes no supplier commission and adds no mark-up: every venue and supplier it recommends is chosen for reliability, craftsmanship and fit with the budget, and any trade discount goes straight back to the couple. Fees sit beside each scope on the Services page: two of the six carry a “from” figure and one is quoted in writing, and in each of those the exact amount is confirmed before anything is agreed.
-
Act 03
A calm day
The best weddings feel effortless because every supplier works from one clear, realistic running order. Load-in windows, wet-weather plans, dietary seating cards and cue sheets are confirmed well ahead, and the run sheet goes out fourteen days before the day, so neither the couple nor their families has to answer a logistics question on the wedding day itself.
Three promises to every couple
-
Flat, published fees
Every package carries a clear fee and a written scope before anything is agreed, never a percentage of the wedding budget. A “from” price is the lowest price for that scope.
-
Honest budget guidance
What different guest counts and venue styles really cost is said plainly at the start, so there are no financial surprises halfway through planning.
-
One planner, start to finish
The planner met at the consultation is the planner who leads the rehearsal and stands beside the couple on the wedding day.
How planning begins together
-
A consultation
Share the season, the rough guest count and the vision, and the studio recommends the package that fits.
-
A written proposal
A clear proposal sets out what is included, the flat fee and whether the date is free.
-
Design and timeline
Budgets, venue walk-throughs, floral palettes, tastings and an hour-by-hour running order come together.
-
Rehearsal and the day
The team directs every supplier arrival, room change, ceremony cue and end-of-night pack-down.
Scheduling and service standards
Expectations
Consultations run Tuesday to Sunday by appointment; the studio is closed on Monday and closes at 4:00 PM on Sunday. Twelve weddings a year is the whole capacity, so a date already held cannot be doubled up, and a consulted date stays on courtesy hold for fourteen days while the written proposal is read. The studio works within South Carolina only, never sells day-of coordination under the name of full planning, and takes no commission from any supplier it recommends.
