Engaging Events, LLC

I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for Cindy and her wonderful team. Cindy is extremely organized, professional, creative and so incredibly kind. It was so nice to be able to relax on my wedding day knowing that I did not have to worry about a single aspect of the wedding. The vendors Cindy helped us select were amazing. We received compliments on the food, flowers, tents, music, cake, and on and on. Cindy herself also received rave reviews from our guests. I could not have asked for a more fantastic wedding and planning experience!

I am so thankful that we decided to hire Cindy, I don't know what I would have done with out her. Planning a wedding is a ton of work and Cindy took so much of that work off of me so I could just enjoy the process. The weather on the day of our wedding ended up being a lot cooler and windier than planned but I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew Cindy would take care of it! After the wedding I have gotten a ton of compliments on the decor, food, band, etc. All of it wouldn't have been possible without Cindy's help. If you are looking for a wedding planner I would highly recommend her and her team!

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Engaging Events! I live in California so planning a wedding from across the country was difficult to say the least. Cindy not only made the planning part possible, but she made it enjoyable and there was nothing I had to really worry about. My husband and I made two trips to Chas. for planning, but besides that, much of our planning happend through email and phone calls. Cindy and Jessi thought of last minute details that never occured to me and made sure everything was perfect. I had a vision of what our wedding would be like and Cindy not only made that happen, but she made it our own. She listened to what we wanted, did research if needed, and allowed us to make decisions that would fit in our budget. I called every reference Cindy offered when it came down to picking our wedding planner and EVERYONE couldn't have been happier with her. That was a large deciding factor for me and if I had to do it all over again, I'd hire Cindy in a heartbeat. She's worth the money and you won't be dissappointed! I was a very happy bride!

Cindy and her team were a delight to work with! I think one of the characteristics that set her apart from the rest of the wedding planners I looked into was how not only she was proactive and efficient, but she made things simple for me to understand. Some brides have always known what they have wanted their wedding to be like, however I really was starting from nowhere and she made what seemed to me like a daunting process a stress free and fun activity for both me and my husband (who surprisingly wanted to be involved a ton!!). I think one of her strengths is that she is able to read people well and therefore accommodate brides and families of brides with the right amount of guidance. I also fell in love with her design and decorative style. Everything was simply stunning!!

The quality of Cindy's work was wonderful. Her professionalism and demaeanor are perfect for the type of service she and her company provide. She was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her services to whomever may be looking... I approached Cindy on short-notice, but she delivered as she promised. I feel she always listened attentively and voiced her opinion(s), when needed ~ but always kept my opinion(s) front and center. She never tried to make this 'her event', but stayed true to what I was envisioning for my event. A wonderful event planner!

Cindy and her team were amazing to work with. The wedding turned out perfect - even better than I could have imagined! From the band to the food and most of all, to the design of the wedding, Cindy was amazing. She provided helpful suggestions when we were completely lost and provided valuable advice. Cindy did an amazing job with the decorations - linens, flowers, couches, and tiny little touches could be seen everywhere. We did not have to worry about one single thing on our big day - Engaging Events handled everything and it was seamless!

Cindy Zingerella and her staff at Engaging Events did a phenomenal job working with us to plan my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. She is knowledgeable, very professional, and patient. The wedding was absolutely wonderful; every detail was carefully planned and executed. The day was perfect. We do not live in the Charleston area and it would have been far more difficult without Engaging Events working with us. She knows local vendors and has experience working with them. Thank you Cindy! I would highly recommend her services. Mother of the Bride

Cindy and her team were more than exceptional. We live in Washington, DC and have family in Atlanta, GA, so we thought planning a wedding from two different locations would be a nightmare, but it ended up being a dream with Cindy's professionalism, passion and expertise.

Cindy did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding. Having to plan a "destination" wedding could have been very stressful. After meeting Cindy however all of my nerves were calmed. Engaging Events took care of absolutely everything and I did not have a care in the world. It is incredible how they literally took care of every single detail for us from the moment we got engaged, until the spectacular wedding day. I have had friends who have not used a planner, or have used a planner they were not happy with. This caused them to be very stressed out brides who had a hard time enjoying their wedding. I truly feel the only thing I had to do was to sit back and enjoy my wedding. I had my ultimate dream wedding and it is all because of Cindy and her staff. If you choose Engaging Events for you wedding you will not be disappointed! They really do make your dream wedding become a reality.

Cindy and her team made planning my wedding so much easier! My event was so unique in comparison to other weddings I have been to because she is so creative, organized, and comes to the table with innovative decorative ideas. Engaging Events created a dream wedding for me and everything went smoothly. I was completely overwhelmed planning a destination wedding at first, but I grew to trust Cindy's judgment on local vendors, and everything turned out perfect! I would recommend their services to anyone.

Cindy was wonderful. Our wedding went very smoothly and we had a fantastic time. She was patient with us as it sometimes took us a while to respond due to our busy schedules. Cindy always had our interests at heart and made sure the day was perfect.

Cindy is a remarkably patient, flexible, creative, professional and optimistic person. Since we were out-of-town clients planning a destination wedding, her assistance was invaluable. She had many connections for vendors allowing us to choose the perfect florist, men's attire, cake, photographer, videographer, musicians etc., for our needs/budget. She is cost conscious helping us to stay within our budget requirements. Her staff, too, is terrific. I highly recommend Engaging Events to everyone planning a special event in the greater Charleston area.

Cindy and her team are truly an amazing group of people. They are very capable of creating anything you envision for your wedding day. Cindy is meticulous in everything she does and keeps track of all details pertaining to the wedding, vendors, receipts, deposits, etc. It sometimes took Cindy a few days to get back to me, but this meant that she was compiling the research and information needed to give me an answer. Now that my wedding is over, I miss Cindy tremendously. I would highly recommend her. The entire wedding planning process would have been so stressful without her. Instead, Cindy always gave me a small to do list and kept the ball rolling. My original decision was made to go with Engaging Events because of the initial phone call I had with Cindy- I just knew, before I even met her, that she was going to be great. I can't believe I even interviewed other companies- my initial gut feeling about Cindy was completely right- she is the best!

Absolutely a wonderful experience. Over the top on every single item. Could not say enough about how great the whole experience was. I feel like Cindy is truly a personal friend as well as an expert at her job. The whole weekend was absolutely perfect, not one detail missed and all of our guests wanted a "Cindy" for their events.

There is so many great things that I can say about Engaging Events and Cindy Zingerella!! But I won't write a book, but that's just how many awesome and wonderful things that I COULD say!!! My wedding weekend was a dream come true mainly due tom this company! Everyone that saw my pictures thought I had a million dollar wedding! All of the custom touches were fabulous and still within my budget. My wedding was even featured in Charleston Weddings Magazine, a premier publication!!! With Cindy you have a professional, genius decorator, organizer, and a counselor. Her gentle but firm touch on your wedding makes it a day you will never forget! My day was meticulously planned and it was all due to Cindy and her incredible team! Hiring her and her company was the BEST decision I made and it was worth every penny!!!

My daughter Chloe had a vision of her perfect day and Cindy at Engaging Events made it happen. The venue, the caterer, the band, the flowers the cake and the car....it all came together beautifully. Our guests have described her wedding as a "fairytale". As MOB in Atlanta, I knew I needed help planning a wedding in Charleston. Cindy's attention to detail and professionalism were impressive - always on top of things and available to answer to questions by phone or email. She had creative ideas and good connections with suppliers. She stayed within our budget and kept me updated on what we were spending along the way. This 5.0 rating is well deserved. I highly recommend Engaging Events.

Extremely knowledgeable and great to work with! Made my dream come true

I was looking for a person who would listen to my daughter and respond to her needs. We were planning a wedding, each of us living in different states. This was a challenge for us. Cindy broke our anxiety down first with a "wish list" numbering 1-10 on importance for each of us and also including my future son-in-law on his wish list. Kudos to Cindy. She took that challenge and made us look at compromising to shape a spectacular wedding.

Engaging Events really made our wedding day care free for us. We got to enjoy every minute because Cindy handled everything perfectly. Her attention to detail, organization, and knowledge about all the different vendors made everything run smoothly. At the time leading up to the wedding my wife and i were living in separate states and only occasionally meeting to discuss wedding related issues. Cindy was able to manage our limited availability by having every agenda item expertly prepared prior to our meetings. This saved not only time, but limitless amounts of stress. My wife & I would happily recommend Cindy to any of our family or friends. This format is clearly too brief to list all of her qualities but we have no complaints and nothing but happy memories. Thank you Cindy! The Webster's

We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without Engaging Events' help. Cindy and her team took the time to find out exactly what style, details, and budgetary issues were important to us. She set up an organized and precise budget that fit our needs, and made sure we followed it throughout the planning process. Not only did she listen to what we wanted in a wedding, she offered her own creative ideas that we never would have thought of ourselves. Stress was never a factor for me. During the planning process, Cindy was the one who spoke with and resolved any issues with the vendors. All we had to do was make decisions when necessary, and send her the payments. She really amazed me on our wedding day. Everything went so smoothly. Even when something did go wrong - the icing on our cake melted because of the heat - Cindy did such a good job fixing it, I didn't even know it happened until the next day. When someone stepped on my bustle and popped a button, she was by my side in 2 seconds with a safety pin. Our wedding was perfect, and I owe it all to Cindy. Her services were worth every penny, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
