Charleston Event Planning Firms

Sha Sha Harnik brings her considerable experience and talent to bear as the owner and head designer at one of the Charleston event planning firms.    I say that as someone who has experienced her skills first-hand when she assisted me with a very difficult event. 

There are few occasions in the shopping center business as stressful as a grand opening.   As General Manager of Tanger Outlet Center, I was asked to develop an event that would help the company make a lasting impression on the movers and shakers in Charleston while also providing a proper celebratory environment for the company and its investors.  Of course, I started thinking about all the Charleston event planning firms and knew we would require a very special combination of creativity in design, resources and budgeting.  Thankfully, I found Sha Sha Harnik.

As Charleston event planning firms go, she said all the right things from the very start.  She asked about the atmosphere of the event, the impressions we wanted to leave our guests and the concept we wanted to develop.  Sha Sha demonstrated a perceptive business sense about the event, and understood the various stages of development required. 

As far as budgeting goes, let’s just say I can’t believe how patient and understanding she remained throughout a very trying process.  She met with me practically morning, noon and night in order to continue editing the budget.

Most Charleston event planning firms want to impress you with design that I call “form over function.”    Sha Sha understood the need to communicate through the design, and to use simple materials in amazing ways in order to transform a drab space to something memorable.  I’ll never forget the first time I saw the finished product and was blown away by her concept and design.  So were the guests.
In the end, I am so pleased that of all the Charleston event planning firms out there that I chose Sha Sha.   She has a skill set that lends itself so well to challenging events.
