Love from our clients!
We take pride in creating unforgettable memories for our clients. Here are a few testimonials from our fantastic and glamorous clients.
“The BEST wedding planner in Columbia, SC…PERIOD. Shawn’s wedding planning services far exceeded my expectations. There is really no one who could’ve executed my vision for my wedding day better than he. I met Shawn at a bridal show and I knew I had to hire him because he offered free advice on how to approach vendors, which most planners do not do. Leading up to my wedding Shawn regularly contacted me and was only a text or call away if I needed him at any other time. Shawn was responsible for day-of coordinating, the decorations/design, and the florals. Shawn was there for me when I had to find a new venue due to COVID, and even assisted me with decorating my rehearsal dinner and wedding cake. I could go on and on about how awesome he is as a planner, but I’ll tell you this…If you want a wedding planner who is professional, well connected, and willing to go the extra mile for his brides, then Shawn is who you need to hire.”

“My experience was absolutely amazing! Shawn was absolutely amazing and easy to work with! He gave me the wedding of my dreams. He exceeded all my expectations. His sense of elegance is unmatched. The stress was lifted off of my shoulders because he handled everything!”
Nia & Markese, 1208 Washington Place
“SHAWN IS AMAZING! He really knows his craft and he’s a kind and supportive spirit. He continually went above and beyond his duties. Even when we were hugely disappointed in a vendor of our choosing, he took it upon himself to make matters right for us, even after the wedding was long over!! We absolutely recommend him a thousand times over!! He makes you want to plan events just to experience his greatness!!!”
Coretta & John, Spring Valley Country Club, Columbia, SC
“THERE’S NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE. As a young couple we didn't know much about planning a wedding. After we set our date we searched many wedding venues, we came across one in particular. We met with the clubhouse manager and our conversation led to him asking if we had a decorator/wedding planner. We answered no and he gave us the wedding planner's business card. The thought never really crossed our mind mainly because we didn't think it would fit in our budget. After our first conversation and meeting in person I knew from then that he was what we needed to make our dream wedding come true. I couldn't have better things to say about working with Shawn and his team. Throughout the planning process, Shawn was attentive, organized and resourceful. He introduced us to other amazing vendors and he didn't pressure us to use them. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone who desires to have a stress free, unique, and elegant wedding day.
Shawn goes above and beyond for his clients. He makes the bride feel her prettiest and the groom feel like the luckiest man in the world. Shawn and his team did a phenomenal job on our wedding decor and making sure everything ran smoothly. The set up of tables, chairs, cocktail hour etc. was executed perfectly. I received several great comments from friends and family on how beautiful everything was. I am quite confident when I say that if you book him for your full wedding planning (or partial wedding planning) that you will have a beautiful wedding experience! I was not a worried bride that day because of you!!”

“Shawn is an angel from above! Despite all odds, Shawn made my dream come true. When you talk about the best, he makes adjustments well. He caters to your every need and can make a vision with just pieces. My back drop was handmade, original, and just gorgeous. I can go on and on about my wedding because it was truly amazing. Could not find a better planner. On July 14, I didn't just get married - I walked away with some amazing friends.”
Melinda & Damian, Alhambra Hall Charleston
“Simply FLAWLESS. Stella and I wanted to say to you and your staff that our special day would not have been possible without you. The job that you all did from the planning of our wedding, the decorations and to making sure everything went off without a hitch was absolutely wonderful. The ceremony and reception hall decorations were flawless. You far exceeded all of our expectations. All of your hard work and dedication made our wedding day spectacular. Thank you very much.”
Stella & Randal, R2i2 Conference Center, Columbia, SC
“I first met Shawn at a Bridal Expo, and we somehow kept bumping into one another. After our last run in, he invited me to one of his events which left me so impressed!
So, I immediately booked him for my date. I didn’t realize that our relationship would be solidified over time.
Throughout the course of the year, I trusted him to ensure our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, and we truly felt like Shawn expanded our budget to exceed all that we could ever think. Our wedding came together and went on without a hitch because of Shawn. Our bridal party and groomsmen did not live remote to Columbia, and while I had help from my Matron of Honor, in the thick of the moment when I needed someone physically there - Shawn was always around. He was there to be my support once I picked my dress, at every fitting, and was like my knight in shining armor when I needed to express my exact wishes about alterations. He was a great male support to my husband; he picked the suits and bowties for the groomsmen and the perfect shoes to set off my husband's attire.
Being a bride is one of the most stressful things one can ever endure before matrimony. Shawn was always on point. Majority of the time, he called me before I got around to calling him with queries on how things were going or what to do next. He would always make sure that I couldn’t micromanage a thing because it was covered and thought about even before I could ask.
As I come to think about it, I now see that all of the stress that I had during the process was what I put on myself, and came to realize that Shawn had covered everything; from the flowers to the vendors, and even helping me get the most out of our budget, he was always there. He is so polite, frugal, and has great negotiation skills. He had a great rapport with all of my vendors and exudes electrifying energy. I appreciate his creativity and how improvisational he was to help paint the picture of what our wedding would become the day of.
The day of our wedding, Shawn had everything under control. He was extremely efficient and lowered himself to be there to make sure I shined. He never stayed in one place, and whenever I wasn’t so enamored by my union under God with my husband, Shawn was there to give me a thumbs up and a well-received congratulations. He calmed both me and my father down before sending us down the aisle, and his energy electrified everyone he met.
After the wedding was over everyone had given an overwhelming applause and kudos to him for pulling off “the wedding of the year”, and I hope he knows how APPRECIATED he is. I’ve always said that I wanted to “win a wedding” as I waited for my King to find me, and Shawn made me feel like I’ve hit the lotto and every wedded request I wished, he granted. He made me feel royal and the Lord truly gifted us with so much favor to manifest a spiritual event beyond what I could’ve ever envisioned. My husband, Anthony always said that he wanted our wedding to trump over Cinderella’s, and because of Shawn, Cinderella may have to throw another wedding!
I can go on and on about how spectacular Shawn was in this process, and I hope anyone who reads this review truly gets to experience the expression of love and trust that I have now received and exchanged with Shawn. Being a new resident to South Carolina, I would actually be able to say that Shawn has become one of my most genuine friends. He has helped me when no one else could be there, and kept me calm when I was coming into what could’ve been the most stressful experience of my life. THANK YOU so much Shawn!”

“Shawn is the best out there! My husband and I work in the wedding industry, so we knew we wanted to deal with as little stress as possible. I couldn't think of anyone better for the job than Shawn and his team. He was there every step of the way. I purchased my dress in Atlanta and he even traveled there with me to make sure the experience was perfect. He is organized, attentive, detail-oriented and just overall wonderful. Weeks after the wedding, guests are still raving how amazing the wedding and decor was. We couldn't have imagined our day to be any better. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

“Easy wedding planning is what Platinum Label Weddings has achieved. Speaking from experience as a bride, always hire a wedding planner, it takes the stress away. Shawn was very helpful and needed when my fiance and I decided to have a destination wedding. We gave Shawn a budget and he made magic, all we had to say was yes, no or maybe.”
Shanta & Devonte, Palm Beach Punta Cana in Dominican Republic
“Platinum Label Weddings created our dream wedding. Our wedding planner, Shawn Mohammed scheduled all of the appointments for our vendors and knew we didn’t want to go over a certain budget. I know there were times that we probably got on his nerves, but his professionalism and patience was amazing. Shawn’s staff was very courteous and professional and ensured that our wedding day was special. My husband Keith and I are so grateful and extremely appreciative for all the time and effort put into our wedding. Our guests continue to tell us how beautiful and elegant everything was and it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. Of course we feel that way without any additional compliments, if we had to go back to that day we wouldn’t change anything.”
Damali & Keith, The River Center
“Working with Shawn was truly a wonderful experience. In six short months we planned my ideal wedding from start to finish. From picking out the headpiece to choosing table settings he was there. Shawn makes a bride feel so special. He is professional, and made sure my vision was executed.The one thing that really stood out was Shawn made sure my fiancee was very much a part of the planning process as I was. My family won’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed my wedding!”
Jacquelin & Ramon, The Garden Room
“Shawn Mohammed of Platinum Label Weddings, is in a league of his own. He was referred to us by a friend in the fall of 2017. I wasn’t sure we could afford a wedding planner, or that we really needed one. However, when winter came along I knew we needed help. In the end, his services were an investment worth making and we have never regretted our decision.
Platinum Label Weddings offers an amazing service, which takes the stress away. It was great to have someone else taking care of all the details, allowing us to just be a guest at our own wedding.
Although the venue was not perfect, it was what we could afford. Our family and friends were very impressed with what Shawn was able to accomplish with our budget. At one point, we were short handed in the kitchen. Realizing this, Shawn stepped in and helped serve dinner. I was so touched.
Without hesitation, I can honestly recommend Shawn of Platinum Label Weddings.”
Ana & Agustin, Orangeburg Armory

Speechless! Guys, I absolutely did not plan to write anything because honestly I am so overwhelmed! What made me write a review was the fact that I know others read these reviews and look for guidance like I did! When I tell you from the beginning to the end of my wedding which was all prepared and layer out by the One and Only Shawn, This is why my title is speechless! He is the absolute best very professional, he will turn your wedding into a dream come true! I looked for a friend in my decorator/coordinator and I received that! He goes beyond your expectations I can write a book but I would absolutely rate above 5 stars if I could! I felt love, compassion, and dedication, in everything when I walked down that aisle I absolutely am amazed by his work and it is nothing that will stop him from making your day special! He goes above and beyond!!!!!

Exceptional Experience. My experience with this vendor was incredible. From the first moment we spoke, Shawn took the time to listen and understand what we were looking to achieve and created a wedding experience beyond our wildest dreams with his creativity, knowledge and experience. Shawn was kind, caring and compassionate during a time that is stressful to most couples, and he easily puts your mind at ease with his calming assurances. I trusted him with every decision he made and he exceeded our expectations. My wedding was truly spectacular, elegant, and gorgeous with his choices of fresh florals and decor. Shawn put an enormous amount of time and effort working on making my special day one I will never forget. You can't help but want to do it again because Shawn is such a pleasure. I commend him on his professionalism, creativity, kindness, compassion, love for what he does, and how much he cares about his clients. I highly recommend this vendor if you want to work with a top notch wedding coordinator and experience an exceptional wedding.
Michelle & Mike, The Farm at Ridgeway, Ridgeway, SC
Professional, prepared, and prompted are just three words used to describe the services provided by Shawn at Platinum Label Weddings. Shawn began working with us on our wedding in November 2016 and it has been a wonderful experience. I was amazed at how many of my ideas lined up with Shawn's to create wonderful vision. Shawn's couture background served as a plus in everything from the decor to bridesmaids dresses. As time went on we developed an awesome friendship but his professionalism and stature remained impressive. Shawn made sure we stayed within our budget and saved us money in the long run! Out of all the special things he managed to do, it was the way he honored my late mother throughout the ceremony into the reception that brought tears to my family's eyes. Thank you for honoring my mother and making my day so special.
