Fetching Fox is a florist, event designer and private chef for intimate weddings and events with 10 - 60 guests in Charleston, South Carolina.

If you have questions about your specific event, please contact us.

We consider intimate events to have 10 – 60 guests. By specializing in smaller affairs, we’re able to give every detail the attention it deserves.

We’re delighted to serve at events throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry including in downtown Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, Summerville, West Ashley, and more.

Fetching Fox offers three event production services: design and styling; floristry; and private chef services. The cost of each service can vary widely depending on details like:

• headcount

• quantity of items needed

• flowers/food ingredients requested

• costs for rentals like dishware and flatware

Until we know these details about your party, we can’t provide an accurate price quote for your specific event. It may help you to know that, on the low end, our clients typically spend $80 per head.

Please note that our minimum fee is $1,000 per event, which can span multiple services. For example, if you hired Fetching Fox to provide the flowers and styling for your wedding, you could spend $500 on florals and $500 on styling and meet the minimum.

Absolutely! We don’t care what gender you are or what your sexuality is… if you’re a good person who loves a good party, we love you.

When you rent an event venue, it typically comes as a blank slate. Event design is the work that transforms that space into the gorgeous event of your dreams. It’s like interior design, but for temporary spaces. Event design and styling often spans many layers, from space planning (Where should the tables go?), to color palette selection, to picking textiles, choosing accents, and more. It evaluates the functional needs of your space as well as your aesthetic preferences. Being an event stylist involves extreme planning and labor, as the stylist is also the person on-site the day of your event receiving multiple vendors and materials, and arranging them to perfection.

Fetching Fox’s event design services are ideal for the host who is planning their own wedding or event and knows they need help planning and implementing a cohesive design.

Fetching Fox creates bespoke floristry for small weddings and events in the Charleston area. We can create almost any floral art your heart desires, including:

• floral centerpieces

• bouquets

• boutonnières

• floral archways and alter installations

• flower crowns

• accent florals for cakes and catering spreads

We value sustainable floristry; consider that our beloved flowers come from Mother Earth, it would be cruel not to!

• We avoid using toxic floral foam whenever possible, instead using chicken wire, floral frogs, and other reusable floristry tools.

• Our vessels are reused, and often sourced from thrift stores, antique markets, and other unconventional shops.

• We prioritize using local and seasonal blooms whenever possible to minimize the carbon footprint of growing off-season blooms and transporting exotic flowers from faraway destinations.

A private chef provides many of the same services as a wedding or event caterer, like developing a custom menu that spans savory and sweet foods based on your tastes. However, a private chef will bring all the ingredients and tools to your venue and use its kitchen to prepare your meal on-site. This means each guest will enjoy a fresh, hot dinner.

Alternatively, caterers will prepare a meal for your wedding or event off-site and transport it to your venue, reheat it, and serve it to your guests. Caterers are often preferred when using a venue that has no kitchen.

We’re proud to be a Charleston area private chef because we love treating our clients to the experiencing of hosting an event while enjoying it as a guest. When you work with Fetching Fox as your private chef, you can enjoy your own dinner party without having to worry about grocery shopping, cooking, or doing the dishes.

All of our menus are created custom for your event based on your budget, preferences, seasonality, and other details. If you’d like to see examples of our past menus, please contact us.

We welcome anyone and everyone into our community of fetching foodies — especially our friends with dietary restrictions. Dietary preferences we’re happy to accommodate include:

• vegan

• gluten-free

• nut-free

• soy-free

• dairy-free

Because we take food allergies very seriously, we want you to know that Fetching Fox takes every reasonable measure to ensure allergen-free foods do not mix with foods containing allergens. That being said, as a private chef, we work out of a kitchen you provide and therefore it cannot be guaranteed to be nut-free or gluten-free.
