Murrells Inlet, South Carolina
Wedding planning & day-of coordination for couples marrying along the marsh, the creeks, and the Waccamaw River.
Inquire With UsWe Are Poppies & Peonies
Murrells Inlet sits between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island with a working-waterfront personality all its own: tidal creeks, marsh sunsets, live oaks draped in Spanish moss, and the MarshWalk boardwalk lined with waterfront restaurants.
That mix makes it a natural wedding weekend — a rehearsal dinner on the MarshWalk, a ceremony on a bluff above the river or under the oaks at a garden estate, and an easy drive to the beach. The challenge is coordinating it all around tide, light, and heat.
Poppies and Peonies is based in Anderson, South Carolina, and we travel to the Grand Strand for weddings. We bring the same full-service planning approach we use at home, with waterfront logistics built in from day one. Planning nearby? See our wedding planning in Pawleys Island and North Myrtle Beach.

What We Really Do
A coordinator does more than hold a clipboard — we protect your peace of mind. Here is how we transform your experience.
Logistics Mastery. We take over the “nitty-gritty” — from finalizing floor plans to managing the load-in schedules of multiple vendors at your Murrells Inlet venue.
Timeline Execution. We ensure the ceremony starts on time, the toasts stay on track, and the transition from dinner to dancing is seamless, so the energy never dips.
The “Firefighter” Factor. If a centerpiece tips or the wind picks up, we handle it before you even know it happened — the buffer between you and the inevitable hiccups of a live event.
Vendor Liaison. We become the primary point of contact for everyone from the photographer to the DJ, ensuring they have what they need to do their best work for you.
