Rustic to Ritz Events
Rustic to Ritz Events is a full-service event planning company that specializes in weddings in Savannah, Georgia, and the surrounding areas, including Bluffton, South Carolina.
Planning- Precision- Peace of Mind
Anna Swanson started the company in 2015 after a long career in the hospitality industry. Renee Peterson joined Anna last year after moving here from the mid-Atlantic states. Anna and Renee work as a team and take on more than thirty weddings a year, many of them from engagement to the honeymoon.
Planning- Precision- Peace of Mind is one of their slogans, and they truly take it to heart. They are hyper attentive, detail oriented, and they love what they do. Their service standards are award-winning; they were voted 2020 pick of The Knot's Best of Weddings. This year has been interesting for Rustic to Ritz Events as it has been for all event planning companies, but they have risen to the challenge.
Petite Weddings Savannah
Anna and Renee have long desired to offer an option to couples that includes all the fun and gorgeous details of the best of Savannah without the planning or the high price tag, so they created Petite Weddings Savannah (PWS). The Petite Weddings Savannah experience is designed for the bride and groom, and up to 28 guests, at a very budget friendly price of $7500.
“We have taken care of every detail so our Petite Couples can have that magical Savannah wedding in a beautiful venue,” said Anna. “We have gathered a team of some of the best wedding vendors in Savannah to create a wedding as unique as our couples.”
The package includes event design and management, photography, videography, florals, officiant, cake, live entertainment, champagne toast, stylish chairs, coordinated linens, set up, clean up, as well as hair and makeup services for the bride. They have optional features such as Leopold’s Ice Cream, a Coffee Cart, Savannah Square Pops, and even a “getaway experience” in a classic car from Callan’s Classics!
The Petite Weddings Savannah Package is available for certain dates at a variety of locations each with its own unique design and color palette. Anna says, “With so many fabulous venues in Savannah, we did not want to limit ourselves to one space. Each day will be at a different venue which will give every event its own vibe.” Couples have their choice of venue, date, and time of day.
No wedding would be complete without flowers. PWS’s floral designer is Kati Esser of Kati Esser Designs (www.katiesserdesigns.com). A Savannah School of Art & Design graduate, Kati loves to design and will create an original look for each wedding. Working with Anna on the design board colors and style, she will create a stunning floral backdrop unique to each venue. The PWS package includes the bridal bouquet, a matching boutonniere for the groom and fresh flowers for the wedding cake. (Upgrades are available for bouquets and boutonnieres for honor attendants as well as for additional blooms for the bridal bouquet.)
The Rustic to Ritz Events professional vendor team will manage your wedding celebration to flow smoothly and on time, allowing you to enjoy every minute of your celebration. Anna and her team will give you a truly unforgettable and stress-free wedding day. Call or visit their website and reserve your wedding today!
