Margaret McKenzie and Old Wide Awake Plantation are exceptional. The quiet, magnificent house set just before the marshes and the park to the Stono River is stopped in time. I loved each piece of my experience. I grew up down here- it is difficult to find a place that is not tacky or overdone for the sake of tourists. The house and the land are reminiscent of every experience I had as a child- a soft silky breeze, the fresh smell of the river and flowing water nearby, and the vendors know exactly what to do and where to be. We had an amazing experience provided by Margaret. She is a stunning coordinator. I am certain, as with any large event, there were hang ups. I didn’t see a single one. Every detail and minutiae was handled without a shred of evidence that it was anything but effortless. Her grace, poise, and elegant nature are exactly what any bride needs. My Husband and I had a spectacular day with brilliant sun which I am fairly certain Margaret also conjured as it rained every day around the wedding.
