Roper St. Francis Foundation Donor Appreciation

For the last 6 years, Red Letter Events has been honored to be a part of the Roper St. Francis Foundation Donor Appreciation Gala.  On February 2, 2013 Roper held the 8th annual Donor Appreciation Gala.  Guests enjoyed an American evening in Paris and were captured by special guest speaker Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State.  Thank you to all of the great vendors that helped make the event such a huge success- PDA, Sara York Grimshaw Designs, Snyder, Event Drs, Plants Alive, and BBJ Linens and Chargers.  Also, a huge thank you to Marni Rothschild for the wonderful photos!

Charleston Wine + Food Festival 2013

This weekend was the annual BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival ®. We were extremely proud to participate and design several of the exciting events along with Charleston Stems.

We designed This Little Piggy: Pop-Up Market presented by Rachel Ray, which took place at the beautiful Lowndes Grove Plantation on the Ashley River.  This Little Piggy is an event that brings in some of the country’s greatest chefs to prepare dishes using different parts of a pig.  Check out some of the gorgeous décor that we put together for this fun, country theme event.

We were also happy to be in charge of the design for the Lowcountry Jazz Brunch presented by Motley Rice LLC and The Post & Courier.  Some of Charleston’s best restaurants and caterers served three course meals as a guests enjoyed live entertainment by The Mark Sturbank Group, featuring Quiana Parlor and Quentin Baxter.  Guests were greeted with bright spring colors for this Sunday morning brunch.

{Audrey and Brian}

We really enjoyed getting to know Audrey and Brian since they live locally in Charleston and what a cool couple!  Both are hardworking teachers and they have such an amazing love for each other, as you can see was captured here with the awesome photography by Charleston Wedding Company.


Family and friends traveled from afar and were welcomed to the beautiful and majestic  Legare ~ Waring House at Charles Towne Landing. 

RLE worked with the beautiful natural backdrop and added subtle hints of the blue and purple decor to personalize the generous outdoor space.

Snyder Rentals provided all of the chairs, tables and linens for the occasion, adding to the already classic look of the beautiful Legare Waring House.

All of the gorgeous floral arrangements created by Lotus Flower incorporating the deep blues and purples of the wedding colors with natural containers to compliment the venue.

Wedding Program Fans to keep guests cool during the warm outdoor summer wedding. 

DJ Moo Moo provided a great array of old school music for everyone to dance to, doing a great job fulfilling Brian's love and interest for eclectic music.

{Cait & Bob} Part I

Your wedding is a day that you have been planning since you were a little girl and you want everyone to leave afterwards saying, “That is the best wedding I have ever been to!” And that is what the family and friends of Bob and Cait Denny have been saying since they left the wedding in late June. 

Both are originally from Ohio, so they really wanted to make the trip down to Charleston extra special for their guests.  After the beautiful Wedding Ceremony at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Bob and Cait took their guests on a personal history tour of downtown Charleston. Guests then joined the reception at Charlestowne Landing, at The Legare-Waring House. Everyone arrived to the front lawn of the Legare ~ Waring House where they picked up their escort cards from a pineapple escort card tree that was a nod to the 'welcome' to Charleston. 

Throughout the night, guests enjoyed southern-style  fare of Pulled Pork BBQ, Babyback Ribs, Beef Brisket,  and Shrimp and Grits catered by Granville’s Catering.  

To sweeten their palate,  a variety of delicious pies were served in lieu of a wedding cake: Blackberry Cabernet, Salt Rimed Margarita, Apple and Key Lime Pies all created by the talented new 3.14 Pies. 

Everyone had a great time dancing the night away to the sounds of DJ Rob Duren and the night ended with a lavender send-off for the bride and groom as they exited in a Classic 1967 Black Mustang Convertible.

A huge thank you to Ameilia and Dan from Dreamland Images for capturing this beautiful day! 
 Red Letter Events had a great time celebrating this joyous occasion with  Bob and Cait and we wish them many years of happiness!! More to come on this beautiful wedding, stay tuned.....
