Elevated Power: Flawless Planning for the York County Women's Leadership Summit
Read about our flawless execution of the first annual York County Regional Chamber Women's Leadership Summit. We detail the powerful keynotes, dynamic panels, and strategic event management.
We recently had the honor of working in strategic partnership with the York County Regional Chamber to execute the first annual Women’s Leadership Summit! As both a Gold Sponsor and the dedicated event planner, the energy was electric, focused on leaning into personal power, connection, and growth.
At Love, Evermore Events, we believe corporate events are most impactful when execution is seamless and collaboration is effortless. Our purpose for this event was to integrate smoothly with the Chamber team, managing the complex logistics so they could focus entirely on their mission: delivering powerful content to their attendees.
Partnership in Action: Designing a Day of Power and Connection
Our collaboration with the Chamber ensured the event schedule, masterfully emceed by Natalie Parker of Natalie Parker Enterprises, flowed with absolute precision. The theme of owning one's power was realized through:
Dynamic Keynote Integration: The day launched with "Owning Your Strengths & Stepping Into Your Power," presented by Dr. Stacey Moore of York Technical College. We partnered with the Chamber team to coordinate the speaker's A/V needs and stage transitions flawlessly.
Seamless Panel Logistics: The engaging panel, "Collective Power: Women Supporting Women" (featuring Geri Hopkins, Dr. Laura Ullrich, Dawn Johnson, and Nick Nash), required specific mic, seating, and timing coordination, which we executed in lockstep with the Chamber's moderators.
Refined Schedule Management: We ensured flawless execution of the tight timeline, including the Power Lunch & Connection Time and the deep-dive session, "The Power of Confidence: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome," led by Natalie Parker.
Our Commitment: Grace Under Pressure for Shared Success
By coordinating every detail across all vendor partners—from Catering (Outback Steakhouse) to Decor (Bows and Balloons Events, Gala Affairs)—our team executed the day’s precise timeline. This meticulous planning allowed the Chamber team to interact with attendees and focus on their strategic objectives, while we handled the complex technical and vendor management required for a successful summit.
A huge thank you must go to our Presenting Sponsor, QTS Data Centers, and our fellow Gold Sponsors, HomeWell Care Services - Rock Hill, SC, and all the wonderful partners for contributing to this success.
At Love, Evermore Events, we are incredibly proud to have partnered with the York County Regional Chamber to make this inaugural Women’s Leadership Summit a resounding success.
If you’re looking for professional support with corporate event planning, our team specializes in strategic event management for companies and organizations throughout the region.
Here’s to the bold women of York County who continue to lead, lift, and inspire! We look forward to our next collaboration.

Why Investing in a Wedding Planner is Essential for Your Wedding
Deciding whether to hire a wedding planner? We explain how expert guidance is essential for saving you stress, protecting your budget, and ensuring a seamless, beautiful celebration from start to finish.
What you don’t see on your wedding day is everything we are carrying for you. Every detail, every challenge, every unexpected moment is handled so you can simply be present and celebrate. Investing in a wedding planner is important because no matter how much preparation and communication goes into a wedding day, life still happens. When it does, our team adapts seamlessly so that you never feel the stress.
On wedding days, we step into many roles to protect the couple’s experience:
• Florist, recreating a bouquet when the bride was not pleased with the one delivered
• Photographer, capturing moments when the professional arrived late
• DJ, curating meaningful songs when music was unprepared
• Bridal attendant, zipping the gown, securing the veil, and ensuring the bride looks flawless
• Hospitality team, delivering meals to the couple and keeping glasses full for family and friends
By the end of the night our feet ache, yet our greatest reward is knowing that our couples felt completely cared for. On average, a wedding planner takes over 25,000 steps in one day, which is the equivalent of nearly half a marathon, all in the service of ensuring every moment feels effortless.
What is often hard to explain until the day itself is just how much happens behind the scenes. From managing vendors, keeping the timeline on track, and solving unexpected challenges, to anticipating needs before anyone realizes them, your wedding planner is quietly orchestrating every detail so you can remain fully present in your celebration. The true value of a wedding planner is peace of mind and confidence. We create meticulous plans, but if something goes off course, we resolve it instantly. This is why trust matters. The partners we recommend are not simply names on a list. They are professionals we have seen deliver with excellence time and again. The package you choose and the vendors you entrust make all the difference in shaping your experience.
Allow us to guide you, trust our expertise, and let us create a seamless, joy-filled celebration that feels as effortless as it is unforgettable. When you choose to work with our team, you’re hiring planners but also gaining partners who are committed and genuinely care. From your first consultation to the end of your wedding day, we will be there for you and ensure every detail is perfect. When all is said and done, our goal is to make your wedding day feel like magic.

5 Expert Tips for Planning a Stress-Free Carolina Wedding
Planning shouldn't be stressful! We share five essential tips, straight from our planners, to help you stay organized, prioritize joy, and ensure your entire wedding day unfolds effortlessly.
Your wedding day is one of the most special and memorable moments of your life, but it can also be the most stressful. Between timelines, expectations, and juggling vendors, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. With the right planning and mindset, your day can actually feel as peaceful and joyful as you’ve always imagined. Here are 5 must know tips for a stress-free wedding that every couple should keep in mind!
1.Start Planning Early and Set Realistic Deadlines:
Procrastination is one of the biggest causes of wedding stress. The earlier you start, the more time you have to research, book vendors, and make decisions. Break everything down into small tasks and set realistic deadlines for each one. Checklists will be your best friend because they keep you organized and on track. Another tip would be to book major venues like a photographer, the venue, and the caterer at least 6-9 months in advance to prevent any additional stress. This will prevent you from last-minute stress or feeling like you are behind.
2. Don’t Try to Do It All Yourself:
It is very easy to want to handle every little detail yourself to make sure everything turns out perfectly, but doing it all yourself can eventually lead to burnout. Having a wedding planner, bridal party, or family members help out is key to staying calm. Giving each person a clear responsibility and making sure everyone knows their role on the big day will help things run much smoother. When you have people helping, you can enjoy your day instead of stressing.
3.Take Care of Yourself Before the Big Day:
Planning a wedding can be very emotionally and physically exhausting, so taking care of yourself is very important. Couples should set aside at least one day every week or two to completely disconnect from planning. Going on a date or doing something that brings you joy can help tremendously with stress. In the days leading up your wedding, make sure you are staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest. When you feel good, everything falls into place!
4. Always Have a Backup Plan:
No matter how perfectly you plan, surprises always happen, especially with outdoor weddings. As a planner, I always create a “Plan B” for weather, delays, or any bumps in the road. For example, if you want an outdoor ceremony, have a tent or indoor option on standby just in case. Also, make sure to have all vendor details in writing, and make a contact list for quick communication. Having backup plans will bring you a peace of mind because you know if things go south, your day will still go beautifully.
5.Remember What Really Matters:
When planning a wedding it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters because you might be focusing on little details. In the end, your wedding isn’t about perfection, it’s about celebrating love and unity. Always remember to focus on the experience and not the small details because if something goes slightly off schedule or isn’t perfect, it will be okay. What matters is celebrating your union surrounded by people you love the most.
At the end of the day, weddings are filled with laughter, love, and joy - not stress. Planning early, having help, creating a backup plan, taking care of yourself, and focusing on what really matters will allow you to be present and soak in every moment. When you let go of perfection, your day will unfold just the way it was meant to!

Charming, elegant, and surprisingly versatile—108 W. Main is one of our favorite hidden gems for Moncks Corner weddings. We love how effortlessly this venue balances modern amenities with historic character. The exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and natural light pouring through the windows create an ideal backdrop for a wide range of design visions. It’s a space that feels both polished and personal, and every time we walk in, we’re inspired to create something fresh and unique.

There’s a cozy charm to weddings at 108 W. Main that makes every celebration feel heartfelt and personal. The space is full of natural light thanks to stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors. Whether you’re hosting a sophisticated black-tie reception or a more laid-back soirée, the venue’s open layout and neutral tones make it a beautiful blank canvas.
What’s especially exciting is that 108 W. Main is currently under new ownership and undergoing a fresh remodel—so couples can enjoy an elevated experience with upgraded amenities while still embracing the venue’s historic character. Its central location in the heart of downtown Moncks Corner also makes it a convenient and welcoming spot for both local guests and out-of-town travelers. Moncks Corner weddings just feel a little more magical here.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces at 108 W. Main
Couples love the flexibility and flow of the venue’s layout. At the rear of the property, you’ll find a charming open-air ceremony space—quiet, intimate, and naturally romantic. It’s the kind of setting that instantly sets the tone for a heartfelt “I do.”
After the ceremony, guests can transition to cocktail hour just outside the reception space, on the venue’s relaxed patios. Then it’s just a short walk to the main indoor reception area, where exposed brick, string lighting, and high ceilings create the perfect vibe for dinner and dancing.
The venue also offers a lovely bridal suite located at the front of the main building. With ample space, beautiful light, and all the right touches, it’s the perfect spot for getting ready and capturing those meaningful pre-ceremony moments—yes, including those dreamy robe and detail shots.
