The Carolina Refinery

🌟 Update! 🌟

Sometimes in life, there are things that are so near and dear to your heart that they are hard to say goodbye to, and this will probably be one of the hardest. The Carolina Refinery has been our baby for the last three years. But, after welcoming our son- it has become very apparent the lifestyle needed to run this business and the life we want to provide to our family no longer align. That being said, we’re thrilled to announce that our cherished event rental business has found a new home! 🎉✨

Please join us in celebrating Charlene with Charming and Quaint Events in the purchase of The Carolina Refinery. With a shared passion for creating unforgettable experiences and over 10 years in the business, Charlene is the perfect person to take the reins and continue the magic! 💍

We truly appreciate each and every single person who has trusted us to be a part of their special day.

To all of our friendors, we are going to miss seeing you all every weekend. We have met some of the sweetest people who have turned into some of our best friends, and for that, we are the MOST thankful. Bennett has a lot more aunties and uncles to love on him!

We’re excited to see what new heights Charming and Quaint will achieve with your continued support.
To Charlene—here’s to new beginnings and countless more celebrations! 🎊🥂

Feel free to reach out to Charming and Quaint for all your future event needs. We have no doubt that they’ll bring even more joy and success to the events you love!

With so much love and gratitude,
Ashley, Blake, & Bennett Manuel

Something a little sweeter than rentals.
We welcomed our little boy into our lives earlier this week. 💙

If you have inquired about rentals or sent us any emails- please know we will get back to you beginning next week. We’re trying to soak in these precious moments as mom + dad.

Such a beautiful day!

Cheers to the New Year! 🥂We are super excited for all of the fun things to come this year! 💙

Kicking off the season with some NEW✨inventory!

A moment for our Hatteras Chairs 😍

Fun Fact: these chairs were not a part of our plan when ordering a container last year. Long story short, everything we ordered did not fit in the container and we had to pick 200 more chairs to fill a second container 🫠 talk about a learning experience. I’ll consider this a happy accident!
