OUR STORY.

Founder Anna Kate graduated from the College of Charleston in 2016 with a business degree geared toward hospitality. During her undergrad years, she interned for a boutique wedding planning company and had the opportunity to work for one of the most well-known hospital groups in Charleston. Anna Kate feels lucky enough to have found a few close friends who took a leap of faith with her as she headed to open her wedding planning firm in 2017, Parte Events and Design. Anna Kate has collectively been in the industry for over ten years overseeing the plans and execution of weddings, from intimate beachside nuptials to luxurious extravaganzas.

Our planning team has the pleasure of working with the top venues in Charleston and building events from the ground up for private residence locations. Anna Kate, Rachel, and their design assistants have found their place within the Charleston wedding scene, providing a unique planning experience that results in a ‘parte’ our clients will never forget.

“If you’re looking for a team that connects with you, holds your vision as a priority, becomes a friend, and allows you the freedom to have fun on your day, Parte Events & Design is your team.”

- Sara Kate, Bride
