Welcome to Greenville Elopement Packages! My name is Penny Reynolds and I am the owner of this company as well as Charleston Elopement Packages!
​
The short story: I started as wedding officiant in Greenville, SC. Moved to Charleston, SC and expanded to full service wedding provider to include planning and photography. After about 8 years, I transitioned away from the large weddings to elopements for the past 7 years.
​
Personal Info: I am over 50 years old with over 15 years in the wedding industry and a veteran. I am happily married with a son who is in his 20's and active duty Air Force. The other member of my family is a crazy Australian Shepherd, Beau.
You can scroll down for the long story if you like... LOL.

Lisa Baker is my officiant.For packages where I am the photographer.
Lisa has over 15 years experience with performing weddings and has her own wedding company (Weddings By Lisa). Not only is she an excellent officiant, but also my sister in law!
My long story:
I have over 15 years experience in the wedding industry. I started in Greenville, SC with officiating services under the name "Reynolds Treasures" for 2 years. When the opportunity to move to Charleston, SC arose, we jumped on it and I transferred "Reynolds Treasures" to Charleston. While in Charleston I transformed the business from officiating only to a full scale wedding business offering complete packages and planning services. I participated in and managed this business for over 7 years.
After my son joined the Air Force, we moved to Hilton Head, SC as I needed a change since I missed him so much. I sold Reynolds Treasures and took a year off. This is when I realized that I did not want to do the large weddings, but instead specialize in elopements. While in Hilton Head, I opened Southern Charm Elopements! Having performed many positions at Reynolds Treasures (officiant, florist, planner, coordinator, photographer...), I decided I enjoyed the photography the most, and mainly filled that role. Two years later, we decided to move back to Charleston, SC and I sold Southern Charm Elopements.
​
In 2020, Charleston Elopement Packages was born. I pulled together a team of trusted people I had worked with in the past and instant success! I continued focusing on the photography part of the package. You can see samples of my photos at https://www.charlestonelopementpackages.com.
Over the past 2 years, my father was diagnosis with stage 4 Parkinson's and my mother started having some heart issues. My husband's parents had a couple hospital visits as well. So In October 2023, we sold our Charleston house and moved back to Greenville, SC to be closer with family and help our parents.
I have kept Charleston Elopement Packages open since I have a phenomenal team in place there to handle the elopements. I travel there as needed.
​
Now, Greenville Elopement Packages is born! I hope you will be one of our clients, as I want to be part of your love story, and capture your special elopement moments!
