Southern Wedding Professionals

It's not often you get to meet a Venue Manager AND a stand-alone lead wedding planner that does both AT THE SAME TIME.

But, this is why we love Sarah Rickman. Check out the video below to learn about this rockstar in the wedding industry!

About Wingate Place:

Wingate Place (formerly known as Wingate Plantation) is an outdoor event venue located on Johns Island. We are located just minutes from the lovely Kiawah and Seabrook Islands and a short drive to the Charleston peninsula. Our venue is family-owned and operated, and sits on 180 acres of stunning ponds and gorgeous ancient oak trees. Located on the property is a small farmhouse built in the 1930s. Currently, this house now serves as our meeting space for brides and planners, but more importantly the bridal dressing suite. The house provides a place for our brides and their maids to spend their morning getting their hair and makeup done before the ceremony! In addition, we also have groom's quarters located on the side of our back pavilion. A place for them to hang out, dress, and patiently wait until they are needed for pictures or ceremony time

About Anita!

I have been planning events my entire adult life. I grew up in Atlanta, and first started organizing events and dances for my high school in Conyers, GA. My hobby expanded into planning get-togethers for my parents, and eventually I became the unofficial party and trip planner for all of my family members and friends.

After graduating from Georgia State University with a degree in Finance and Management, I worked at the Georgia State Capitol for State Representative Sharon Cooper for a year. And while I realized that politics wasn't for me, I became an expert in managing and executing campaign events, and so I moved on to join a small firm that managed membership associations as the Director of Meetings & Events. There I spent the next decade organizing events around the southeast for groups of all sizes and in all varieties of venue, before branching off on my own to found Amina Events in 2018.

When I'm not working, I love traveling, playing tennis, watching the Atlanta Falcons, and exploring my O4W neighborhood.
