Can you plan an event next month?
Possibly. We check the date, the venue and vendor availability first and tell you honestly.
06 / Private PartiesMaeve Kelly Atelier
Private parties and dinners
in Charleston.
A fortieth birthday. A twenty-fifth anniversary. A dinner party for twelve that you want to actually attend. Maeve plans private parties in Charleston at home or at a venue, from the first idea to the last glass collected.
Discuss your party
The host should be in the room, not behind it.
BIRTHDAYS / ANNIVERSARIES / DINNERS
01The reasons
Occasions
Birthdays and milestone birthdays. Anniversaries. Dinner parties and cocktail parties. Family celebrations and reunions. Retirement parties. Holiday parties at home.
02The work
What Maeve handles
The idea and the design. Venue or private dining research, or planning the house as the venue. Caterer, bar, rentals, florals, music and printed details, sourced and coordinated. Setup, the running of the evening, and breakdown.
03The weekend
Around a wedding
Welcome parties, rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches should each have their own character while fitting the wider weekend. We consider who is arriving, where they are staying and how each gathering connects.
04The scope
Timing and fees
Six weeks ahead is comfortable for most parties. The fee is set in writing after a first conversation. Venue, food, drink and rentals are paid directly by you.
