LET US BE A SMALL PART OF YOUR BIG DAY!
When dreaming-up a boutique planning firm, the goal was simple: to provide quality service at an affordable rate. Over the last decade, utilizing both grit and grace, Invitation Only has achieved that goal in the South Carolina Lowcountry and throughout the East Coast. Our creative design is constantly inspired from various forms of media, including European architecture and modern artwork to retro fashion trends and the international culinary world.
We pride ourselves on our individualized approach and in believing that an open line of communication will help provide the most successful outcome at your event or wedding. Attention to detail, drive for perfection, and thorough structuring of your special event are key components to achieve a curated bespoke celebration!

Story
“There are dreamers and there are planners; the planners make their dreams come true.”
- Edwin Louis Cole
Meet the
As a lover of all things monochromatic and neutral, Loraine has a keen eye for layered pairings inside the same color palette. Her specialties, though, surround both pre-event planning — such as budget allocation through vendor selection — and day-of event execution, including (but not limited to) staff assignments and timeline management. Most importantly, she believes that you should be able to celebrate in both comfort and style! When she’s not curating a bespoke celebration, she enjoys spending time with her family, alongside their chaotic “zoo” of rescue animals. And, somehow, in her free time, she manages to volunteer with a local nonprofit organization and and occasionally gets to enjoy a Sunday afternoon nap.

Looking to expand her special events career, Kyra joined Invitation Only in 2020. As a mom of four, she transitions from home-life to work seamlessly – utilizing her natural time management skills, attention to detail, and adeptness to multitask. An admirer of classical music and baroque art, she balances out the Design Team with her love of muted color tones and crisp, eye-catching centerpieces. When not immersed in special events, you can find Kyra bringing balance to her home life. She is an avid runner, loves sharing her proficiency at the piano with her children, and will never say no to a coffee run! Her recommendation is the Maple Pecan Latte at BKeDSHoP.
