More than Wedding Planners…
We're Designers, Producers & Problem Solvers
At Intrigue Design & Events, we believe every celebration should tell a story—your story. Since 2008, we’ve specialized in luxury wedding planning, destination weddings, and bespoke event design, creating unforgettable experiences that are as intentional as they are beautiful.
Based in Charleston, South Carolina, our team has planned and designed weddings throughout the Southeast and across the globe, partnering with couples who value exceptional design, flawless execution, and a planning experience that feels effortless from beginning to end.
The Art of Exceptional Celebrations
Every unforgettable wedding begins with getting to know the couple behind the celebration. We love asking our couples to describe themselves in three words and tell us their non-negotiables for the wedding weekend. These conversations help us understand who you are, what you value, and how you want your guests to feel. From there, we thoughtfully design a celebration that is personal, meaningful, and a true reflection of your love story.
Chelsye Harp
Owner, Creative Director
I never imagined wedding planning would become my life’s work.
My career began in marketing and design, where I discovered my passion for creativity, storytelling, and bringing ideas to life. Then, in 2007, a client asked me to plan their wedding. With just three weeks to pull it together in another city, I said yes—and that experience changed everything.
I fell in love with creating meaningful celebrations, solving complex challenges, and designing unforgettable experiences. The following year, I founded Intrigue Design & Events, and for nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of planning luxury weddings throughout Charleston and destinations around the world.
Today, my passion remains the same: creating celebrations that are deeply personal, beautifully designed, and remembered long after the last dance.
Beyond Weddings...
Outside of weddings, I’m always planning my next adventure with my husband. We love traveling, discovering new places, and finding inspiration in every destination we visit. When we’re back home in Charleston, you’ll usually find us putting the finishing touches on the house we’re building, relaxing at Folly Beach, or spending weekends at live music festivals.
I’m a firm believer that experiences are life’s greatest luxury—which is probably why I love producing events so much.
And if there’s one thing you should know about me… I could happily eat sushi or authentic Mexican food almost every day, preferably with a margarita in hand.
"Throughout the entire experience,
The Intrigue Team made it easy to be a bride"
I have never really thought of “what my wedding would be like” but from day one, Chelsye made me excited. With her bubbly personality and ability to make you feel comfortable, it was a no brainer that we would pick her as our wedding planner. Throughout the entire experience, the Intrigue team made it easy to be a bride. It was clear that Chelsye is an expert and able to bring beauty to life, but even more so, she made sure to incorporate both mine and my husbands personalities throughout the entire theme of the wedding. She was patient with my bridal party and made me feel at ease the entire day, so I actually got to have fun and enjoy my own wedding. Chelsye and her team exceeded any expectations and I could not have had a more perfect wedding experience from start to finish.
