The people behind the plans, and the care behind every weekend.
ABOUT VERBENA
Verbena is a Nantucket-based wedding planning studio led by Charlotte Bennett, planning celebrations on the island and in destinations around the world.
A beautiful wedding starts with knowing what matters to you.
You may already know the kind of weekend you want, even if every detail is not figured out yet.
Maybe there is a place you love, a feeling you want to create, or a few things you know matter most.
That is where we come in.
We help you shape the ideas, make the decisions, and build a plan that reflects the two of you. From guest experience and design to timelines, vendor communication, and the logistics behind the scenes, we keep the pieces moving so you can stay close to the people you came to celebrate with.
Meet charlotte
The person you’ll want beside you when the plans get real.
Charlotte Bennett is the founder and lead planner behind Verbena.
For more than a decade, she has helped couples turn big ideas into weekends that feel clear, personal, and easy to enjoy.
She is the person who notices when the schedule needs more room, when a guest transition could be smoother, or when one small decision will make the whole evening feel better.
You can expect a planner who will tell you what matters, help you let go of what does not, and stay close enough to the process that you never feel like you are figuring it out alone.
THE VERBENA DIFFERENCE
You should feel supported long before the wedding weekend begins.
From your first planning conversation through the wedding weekend, Charlotte stays closely involved so you always know who is guiding the process.
You benefit from a trusted network of venues, florists, photographers, caterers, musicians, and creative partners built over more than a decade in weddings.
We think beyond the ceremony and reception so your guests know where to be, how to get there, and what is happening next from the moment they arrive.
A room can be beautiful and still feel awkward to move through. We think about how your guests will gather, eat, listen, dance, and spend time together.

Charlotte always made us feel like there was a plan, even when we were still deciding what we wanted. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, we were not thinking about logistics at all. We were just there with everyone we loved.
Ellie & Jack
NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS
“Our parents still talk about how easy the weekend felt. Guests always knew where to go, transportation worked, dinner flowed beautifully, and we barely thought about any of it once everyone arrived.”
Grace & William
LAKE COMO, ITALY
“We came in with a lot of ideas and no sense of how they were supposed to fit together. Charlotte helped us make decisions that felt right for us and never made the process feel bigger than it needed to be.”

As seen in
A few things Charlotte will almost always say yes to
OUTSIDE THE PLANNING MEETINGS
Nantucket Before Nine
Coffee by the harbor before the island gets busy.
A Hotel Lobby Worth Sitting In
The first thing she notices when checking into somewhere new.
Dinner With No Next Reservation
A long table, another bottle of wine, and nowhere else anyone needs to be.
Flowers From the Market
Usually purchased without much thought about where they are going.
Paper Worth Keeping
Menus, matchbooks, hotel stationery, and place cards tend to make their way home with her.
A Slow Morning Somewhere New
Coffee, something warm from the bakery, and nowhere she needs to be yet.
