Proposals
A proposal planned around the person you love, in Charleston or wherever the moment belongs.
01 / Private ClientsMaeve Kelly Atelier
Private client events,
from the proposal onward.
Some clients come to us for one evening: a proposal, a shower, a birthday dinner. Others want one person holding the whole sequence, from the question to the honeymoon. Both are welcome, and you do not have to decide on the first call.
Discuss your celebration
One occasion can stand alone. A connected sequence can remain in one relationship.
ONE OCCASION / A CONNECTED SEQUENCE
01The relationship
Two ways to work together
One occasion. A single event, planned as its own engagement, with its scope and fee set down in writing before you commit.
A connected sequence. The proposal, engagement party, showers, wedding weekend and honeymoon held in one relationship. Nobody re-explains the family, the budget or the taste at each stage, and each event is designed to feel like part of the same story.
02Before the wedding
Services
Choose one occasion or begin a connected sequence.
Engagement Parties
Dinners, cocktail parties and family gatherings, at home or at a venue.
Bachelorette Trips
A weekend researched, reserved and paced so the organizer gets to enjoy it too.
Bridal Showers
Luncheons, teas and garden showers, designed for the person hosting.
03The wedding and after
Continue through the next chapter
Domestic weddings, international weddings, honeymoons, baby showers and private parties can each begin as their own engagement.
Domestic Weddings
Charleston and Lowcountry weddings, and U.S. weddings by arrangement, from full planning to wedding-day coordination.
International Weddings
Weddings in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe, planned from the United States with local partners named from the start.
Honeymoons
Destinations compared and an itinerary designed day by day. You book; we design.
Baby Showers
Brunches, luncheons and garden gatherings with the same care as the wedding.
Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties and the gatherings around a wedding weekend.
04The scope
How every engagement is set up
Every proposal names Maeve's role, your role, the service period, the fee and whether onsite work is included. Venues, caterers, florists, photographers and other vendors are paid directly by you, so their costs never hide inside ours. If you have already booked a venue or a photographer, we start from there. You do not have to begin at the beginning.
05Representatives
Working through a representative
An assistant, family office, estate manager or adviser may make the introduction, and we will agree how updates and approvals should move before any detail is shared.
DIRECT ANSWERS
What people ask first.
Can you plan just one event?
Yes. A shower or a dinner can be its own engagement.
Do you travel?
Yes, for weddings and larger events. There is no travel fee within 45 minutes of Charleston; beyond that, travel is quoted before you sign.
Can we keep the vendors we have booked?
Yes. They become part of the plan, and we tell you before signing if we see a gap.
How are fees set?
By the work, not by a package. After a first conversation you receive a written scope with one fixed fee. Proposal planning begins at $444 and day-of wedding coordination is $1,500, both bookable online.
