About this Experience

What you'll do:

You tell Sadie and Marta your vision, the color palette, the vibe, and the level of extra, and they handle everything from there, delivering and installing fully custom luxury event decor directly at your Charleston rental or home.

  • Share your vision – Collaborate one-on-one with the owners to dial in your theme, color story, and the exact scale of setup you want.

  • Choose your statement pieces – Select from balloon garland installations, floral arrangements, custom backdrops, themed props, and curated add-ons like champagne walls and treat displays.

  • Watch it come together – Arrive at a fully styled, photo-ready space, no lifting, no assembly, no stress on your end.

  • Capture the moment – Every setup is designed to photograph well, so your group walks into a space built for the camera roll.

  • Celebrate freely – Once the setup is complete, you enjoy the event; S&M handles breakdown and logistics on their end.

Whether you want clean and chic or full-send over-the-top, the setup matches the energy you bring and leaves your group talking about it long after the weekend ends.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Owners on every job – Sadie and Marta personally handle your booking, delivery, and install, no subcontractors, no miscommunication, no surprises on the day.

  • Fully at-home service – Everything comes to your Charleston rental, Airbnb, or residence; you never have to coordinate with a venue or haul anything yourself.

  • Signature aesthetic – Their style blends NYC edge, Italian design sensibility, and Lowcountry warmth; the result looks elevated without looking cookie-cutter.

  • Scalable to your budget – Package options range from a focused balloon garland installation to a full-room transformation with florals, props, lighting, and specialty add-ons.

  • Built for the whole occasion – Works for bachelorette weekends, birthday parties, divorce parties, girls' getaways, brunches, and surprise setups, one team, any celebration.
