Cacky is much more than a Bride Aid. She is an angel! I had a short engagement and was planning the wedding on my own. From the first meeting, Cacky was organized and ready to tackle every detail. When I arrived prior to the ceremony, she had everyone on task. There was not one part of the day that didn’t go perfectly (and if it did, she is that good that I didn’t even notice).

I left the wedding so relaxed knowing that everyone had been paid, my guests were happy, and all was taken care of. Thanks to Cacky, it was an amazing day. She truly is extraordinary at what she does!

I wanted to briefly share how grateful I was to have Cacky by my side on my special day. Not only was she incredibly helpful and attentive with all of my needs that day, but our photographer found her to be of great help as well. Cacky’s easygoing, friendly, and has a sense of positive energy that’s totally magnetic! I’d recommend her services to any future Charleston brides.

As a MOB, I cannot say enough about Cacky and her services on my daughter’s wedding day! We were introduced to Cacky a few weeks before our May 19th wedding. After Laura’s portrait session in April, there were some pretty bad (we thought) stains on her dress, and I was most concerned. Cacky took a look and assured me we were fine and she could take care of the issue, and she did.

Our wedding reception was at The William Aiken House downtown Charleston, and the wedding was in Mt. Pleasant. The wedding party was gathering at WAH for pics and then taking a trolley to Mt. Pleasant, thus we would all be dressing for pics at WAH, then undressing for the trolley ride, and redressing at Church. I went into “panic mode” thinking about transporting the wedding gown, my dress, and 8 bridesmaids’ dresses. At this point, an incredible decision was made to hire Cacky for the day of the wedding. AMAZING young lady. Cacky arrived at WAH on the wedding day with the bridal gown and MOB dress perfectly pressed and a box of supplies for anything we could possibly have needed done that day. When we were ready to dress, all dresses were hung and ready for us. Pics were taken, and we took off our wedding attire, and Cacky loaded it in her van and carried everything to the Church, where she touched it all up and we redressed. She got Laura down the aisle, took care of us during the pics, and bustled Laura before she boarded the trolley to return to WAH for the reception. Cacky not only had all dresses ready to go but she brought a beautiful smile and fun personality to our wedding day.

All of us decided we wanted to take Cacky home with us as she can do anything and always does this with a beautiful smile! She picked up the dress the following week and sent it off to be cleaned and preserved and returned to us. The decision to have Cacky share Laura’s wedding day was one of the best I have ever made, and I feel like I have a new adorable friend that I look forward to seeing in the years ahead! Thank you, precious Cacky, for allowing me to enjoy Laura’s wedding day stress-free—what a joy you were! We love you!

One week before my wedding day, after 600 dollars in dress alterations, I was devastated about how my wedding dress looked. I did not think it was flattering and literally lost a night of sleep crying about my dress. My mother and bridesmaids, with best intentions, just told me not to worry and said the dress looked beautiful. I knew something was wrong with the fit. Cacky came to my hotel room, saw what was wrong with my dress, and did emergency alterations by hand in my room. I went from being devastated about my dress to being happy about how it looked.

She saved me hundreds of dollars, which I was about to spend on emergency dress alterations and purchase of a totally new dress (seriously, I was desperate). Even more than that, she heard what I needed on the biggest day of my life and saved me. Thank you, Cacky! Even thinking about this now brings tears to my eyes because you really saved the day.

I got married on April 21, 2012. It was the best day of my life, and thanks to Cacky, I was the most relaxed I have ever been! I was very involved in every aspect of my wedding, so letting go of the reins and just enjoying the ride was my most difficult task.

Thanks to Cacky, all the little things were handled, and everything was perfect! It was so wonderful having my friends and family by my side every minute. If it weren’t for Cacky, they would have been running around helping out. EVERY bride needs Cacky at their wedding!

— Lindsey Barrett

I can’t imagine what my wedding day would’ve been like without Cacky! After my wedding portrait, my dress was quite wrinkled, so I took it back to the boutique where I purchased it, and they told me it was impossible to get many of the wrinkles out because of the material. Cacky offered to take my dress home with her the night before my wedding.

When I saw my dress on my wedding day, I was delighted to find that there was not one wrinkle on my dress. This is just one small example of how awesome and talented Cacky is–I was completely worry- and stress-free on my wedding day knowing that everything was in her hands. I can’t express enough gratitude for making my wedding day perfect!

A wedding dress safety net and tremendous asset to my wedding. I was married on 9/10/11. Not only did she steam my thick, satin dress (one of the hardest she has worked with) for the bridal portraits, but afterwards (I got stuck in the rain during the pictures and had many stains), she spot-cleaned the dress for no extra cost.

She then steamed my dress, my bridesmaids’ dresses, and my mother’s dress on the morning of my wedding day to have everything perfect. It is very hard to find a vendor in Charleston, SC who cares about you and not just your money, and Cacky is just that. She truly wants your day to be the most perfect day.

— Kimberly Jenkins

I was the mother of the bride. Cacky was our lifesaver for my daughter’s wedding on June 4, 2011! I don’t have the words to say how much having her there meant to us all! She says she’s the “day of” helper, but she’s oh so much more. She not only kept us calm, especially me, but she was on top of EVERYTHING! She took care of me and the bride with professionalism and love!

I told her once that if I had a million dollars, I’d give it to her because that’s what she’s worth! I can’t imagine not having had her with us throughout the year of planning too! You’re wonderful, Cacky! We love you—thank you!

— Cheri Gray

I found an amazing designer dress off once wed and was really concerned that it wouldn’t ever look like a “brand new” dress again. Cacky worked magic with her steamer, and my dress looked truly amazing! She actually steamed it twice, once for my portrait and then again on the wedding day. It was great just to have her show up at the bridal suite and take care of everything. My dress looked truly amazing for my wedding!

— Brionne Heron

I got married more than 6 months ago, and I still think about how Cacky went above and beyond at my wedding. She helped me, my mom, and my bridal party so much before, during, and after the wedding. Everything she did was perfect, and she was so calm that she kept everyone else calm on the wedding day.

Cacky also goes above and beyond. When I arrived at my reception and realized I hadn’t completely planned the first dance, cake cutting, etc., She knew exactly what to do and handled everything, even though I hadn’t originally asked her to help out with the reception.

She’s organized and professional, and she really wants her brides to have the perfect, stress-free wedding day.
She really is a wedding day lifesaver. With so much going on at weddings, not everything can go according to plan, but Cacky can handle anything!

— Anne Marion

I’m the mother of the bride, and I hired Cacky as a wedding gift for myself. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional during my daughter’s first fitting and before, during, and after the wedding. She knew exactly what to do and when to do it. She even gave me a ride to the reception when I found my car tire flat after the wedding! If I had another daughter, I would definitely hire her again! Thanks, Cacky

— Lee Jones

If you need a hand on your wedding day, you can’t go wrong with Cacky. I was referred to her by A Stitch Witch (who did my wedding gown alterations) and was so thankful. The last thing I wanted to be doing on the morning of my wedding was running around picking up my dress and worrying it was going to wrinkle in the car and all that…Cacky took care of all of it!

— Deborah LaRoche

Cacky was such a lifesaver for my wedding weekend last summer. I met Cacky when she helped me pick out my beautiful wedding dress. Then, Cacky came to both our rehearsal and our wedding. It was such a relief knowing that she was there to help with anything that I needed. Cacky helped with my dress (both dressing before the wedding and bustling at the reception) and even did a last-minute sewing for a bridesmaid’s dress strap mishap. Through it all, Cacky’s generous and relaxed attitude was exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day!

— Jennifer Nimphie

Cacky was the perfect fit for our small-ish family wedding…she was there to help with all the little details, from directing our entrance to the reception to bustling my gown. She even helped with re-pinning my hair when it started to fall! My favorite moment (and perfect example of her help) was when my veil flew off as I started to walk down the aisle. Cacky was literally right there to replace it in 2 seconds so we could continue walking without barely a hitch (and a few laughs!) There is no way I could have bustled my gown without her. She was also there on my bridal portrait day and helped with styling AND posing for the pics–they came out fabulous. She was a great help and so fun…we highly recommend her!

— Kate Mack

Cacky – Thank you so much for your assistance with the purchase of my wedding gown! You made the experience relaxing, stress-free, and fun!

— Kelly Sims

While Cacky is there for the entire bridal party, she’s all ears for the bride. She was so attuned to what I needed and wanted, it was almost as if she could read my mind. She fills so many roles–checking your appearance to make sure you’re picture-perfect, remedying dress issues, cuing the processional, passing along information to vendors, and so much more. She also directed our rehearsal since we held the ceremony outdoors instead of at a church, and she managed our large wedding party with so much grace and efficiency. We were finished in less than an hour.

The day of, I had no idea how badly we would need dress-steaming. Cacky’s work completely transformed the bridesmaids’ dresses, which came out of their boxes looking like crinkled crepe paper, into beautiful, flowing dresses my friends were delighted to wear. Glancing over my own dress that morning, I didn’t think it needed steaming, but Cacky worked her magic and it too took on a new, refreshing vibrancy. In the same vein, it became apparent after the ceremony that my dress was still a few centimeters too long in spite of alterations. Cacky came to the rescue, pinning it up to the needed new length and bustling the dress before our first dance. The difference was remarkable. I would have been tripping the whole evening if she hadn’t noticed, and I probably would have been too overwhelmed by the day to realize my skirt was a problem. She has such a keen attention to detail.

One of my few regrets about our wedding day was that we only hired Cacky through the first dance, relatively early in the evening. She was a soothing presence, she kept us promptly on schedule, and she anticipated issues before they came up. We had a very fun evening, but I imagine it would have been more relaxing for us if we had asked her to stay for the full night. Our entire wedding party adored Cacky, and so did our vendors. Our photographer went on and on about how helpful she was, herding the many bridesmaids and groomsmen, and making funny faces at the flower girls to make them laugh in the photos. Cacky is a wonder woman. There is no way we could have done it without her.

Cacky was amazing! She was the one who selected my beautiful, perfect bridal gown at the bridal salon. She just knew what was going to look perfect on me. The day of the wedding, she helped me get into my dress in a way that no other person could. She knew how to perfect the corset and was just a must-have for my day. Not only did she help me get dressed, she steamed my dress onsite. Additionally, she helped with my father’s suspenders and with my bridal party dresses. Throughout the day, she was there for me and made sure that my veil, gown, accessories, and hair were always perfect. Cacky was such a joy to share our wedding day with. Every bride should have her for their special day. Her services are priceless. Thanks, Cacky!

— Angela Bumphus-Corbin

Cacky was a tremendous help to me and my family not only on my wedding day, but during the planning days as well. She wasn’t a typical “vendor”; she was a friend and she was available to help with anything I needed. Cacky attended my bridal portrait session and even a vendor meeting with me. She was there to help me get ready for my rehearsal night and she was a tremendous help the day of my wedding.

Cacky not only helped me, but she assisted my bridesmaids and my mother on my wedding day. I don’t know how I could have survived the wedding planning and wedding day without Cacky’s support. She truly is a lifesaver!

— Julie

Cacky was seriously a wedding day lifesaver... I don't know what I would have done without her. She had all of her t's crossed and i's dotted. It was such a pleasure having someone there that could take all of the pressure off of me and let me just relax. My dress was perfectly steamed and I couldn't have felt more beautiful! THANKS CACKY!!! I tell all of my friends that are getting married about you!
