Black Tie Events

Black Tie Events is a wedding/event planning company owned and operated by Nina McGowan and serving the Upstate. We work with clients to create the event of their dreams at a price they can afford. We're an insurance policy for a perfectly planned wedding. We can work within any budget. We're known for our ability to keep track of spending and keep the wedding on budget, as well as our elegant, perfectly planned weddings!

Time is the one thing we just don't seem to have enough of in our lives, and when it comes to event planning, time becomes even more valuable as your special event draws near. The average takes approximately 250 hours of legwork from start to finish. There are many details to attend to when planning a social event. Some details you may be familiar with, while others may have never crossed your mind. If you are already busy with work responsibilities, or if you are planning a wedding from out of town, the services of a professional event planner are invaluable! You probably have many ideas for your special day. A professional event planner has the skill and experience necessary to incorporate those details into your overall plans. Using an event planner does not mean you give up control of your event. Instead, you are gaining a very competent facilitator to your staff.

Every couple is unique. And so is every wedding. No matter how big or small we will design a one-of-a-kind amazing wedding that reflects your own personal style. There are many "levels" of service provided by Black Tie Events. You may wish to have Nina and her team handle every aspect of your event from start to finish, or you may only be looking for a coordinator for the day of your event to ensure everything runs smoothly with your ceremony and reception. Still other brides and grooms may be looking for hourly consultation to get them started with the planning process, or to solve particular problems that arise during their planning. Visit our web site at www.theartoftheevent.com for the different levels of planning and what each entails. Then call for your free consultation to see how Black Tie Events can help you make your wedding perfect.
