Owned by two local businesswomen with backgrounds in event operations, project management, and planning, Phoenix Rising Events is founded on outstanding service, timely responsiveness, and exceptional expertise.

Service Offerings

Phoenix Rising Events offers several packages from full wedding planning to bridal liaisons and has had previous experience planning both religious and non-religious weddings. All packages are customized and tailored to couples' needs, style, and budget.

Full Service Wedding Planning is a customized package for planning from start to finish. You've announced your engagement, perhaps selected a date, and may have a venue in mind. But you haven't begun full planning. Two (2) experienced event managers, as well as any additional staff, will be completely dedicated to executing your day to your exact specifications. We will help find, hire, and manage all vendors, as well as work cohesively to bring your wedding vision to life. This package begins between 9 and 12+ months prior to the wedding day.

The Partial Wedding Planning package works with couples who may have started planning, but they want expertise on making the dream day a reality! You most likely have a date, venue, and maybe some of your vendors, but you need a partner to organize all the pieces and bring it all together. Couples have at least two (2) experienced event managers dedicated to your day. This package begins between 4 and 9 months prior to the wedding.

Wedding Weekend Coordination is for couples who have already selected vendors and the vision is set. You just need help coordinating the logistics so you can enjoy the big day! You have at least two (2) experienced event managers for the weekend as your points of contact. This package begins 2 to 4 months before the wedding.

Best experience

One of the best things about my wedding day was hiring Phoenix rising events! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect leading up to, and handling anything the day off to make sure it went smoothly. I can’t rave about Hillary, Becca, or Jeorgia enough. They truly made me feel like I had nothing to stress about, which is what every bride wants!!! Plus they are just wonderful and genuinely sweet people :)

Worth Every Penny and More!

I’ve worked with Phoenix Rising Events as both a vendor and a bride, and they are worth every penny plus more! The wedding I worked with them on as a fellow vendor was the easiest wedding I have ever worked. They communicated everything very clearly from the layout to the day of timeline. Everything went smoothly and they were extremely pleasant to work with.

As a bride, I can’t imagine my wedding day without them. They think of absolutely everything. From our initial consultation all the way through hiring vendors, walking through the venue, planning the layout, to the rehearsal and wedding day, no detail was spared. Everything was scheduled perfectly and they kept everything on track. They are extremely professional while also being very personable and never pushy. I honestly didn’t have to stress about anything on my wedding day. I knew we had planned for everything, and they would take care of anything that popped up. The weather was a little finicky the whole weekend. So, we rehearsed for the original plan of an outdoor ceremony as well as an indoor ceremony in case of rain. They kept an eye on the radar all day on the wedding day, and we were able to go ahead with the outdoor ceremony thanks to their careful watch. They also communicated well with the other vendors I hired. I have received nothing but compliments from family and friends on how impressive Hillary, Becca, and their team are. Everyone was so impressed with how smoothly and efficiently the ceremony went into cocktail hour and then into the reception. To top it all off, we planned the wedding from Memphis while the venue was in East Tennessee. They handled the challenges of traveling across the state and working in different time zones as if it was nothing. I would recommend Phoenix Rising Events to anyone for any event.

Fantastic!

We knew within the first 10 minutes of speaking with Hillary, Jeorgia and Becca that Phoenix Rising were the planners for us. We had spoken to three other planners by then and these ladies stood out for their vast knowledge, willingness to be involved, and killer organizational skills. Whenever I needed information, Hillary would research options and lay out details so all I had to do was pick a choice. She kept us on track and made sure we met all our timeline goals. The team was also excellent at leveraging every dollar we spent to get exactly what we wanted while staying reasonably close to our initial budget. They were super quick to respond to our questions and never made us feel like we were imposing. As we got closer to the wedding day, we met to go over all the details and I was amazed at the level of detail the team had planned. Literally nothing was left to chance. Our wedding day could not have gone any smoother. There were a million moving parts but all we knew was how much fun we were having. Even though I know the Phoenix Rising team were working like crazy to keep it on track, it was everything we envisioned and it felt effortless to us.

One more important point: we weren’t looking for a bargain when we chose our planner, but Phoenix Rising was substantially less expensive than all the other planners we met with, and there were no surprise charges or extras for calling or emailing them.

I recommend them to everyone now. I could not imagine a better team of planners than Phoenix Rising Events.

Best money I’ve ever spent

Hillary, Becca and Jeorgia were all absolutely wonderful!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you are even slightly on the fence about needing additional support during the wedding planning process, they are who you go to!! It was hands down the best money I have ever spent and I luckily was able to go into my wedding day with the utmost confidence that they had my back and had it all under control. They made the planning process massively more enjoyable than most of my friend’s experiences that did not have wedding planners and for that I will always be eternally grateful to them!!!

Coordinators from above

Truly this team is a gift. They were with me every step of the way with coordinating the day beforehand, and they even did in-person visits with me to make sure they had a clear idea of what I was wanting for my special day. Their team went above and beyond, making sure every detail of the day was perfect and my husband and I were happy. I almost with I could re-marry my partner just to work with them again!

Superb wedding coordination!

I was extremely nervous about planning my wedding. I felt like I was entering a foreign world, and all I wanted was for the day to run smoothly. Thanks to Pheonix Rising Events, I was able to have guidance from an experienced and knowledgeable team. Since they had already worked with several of my vendors before, I was not worried about most of the logistics of the wedding. Working with the Phoenix Rising Events team was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made!

Book them now!!

Phoenix Rising made all my wedding dreams come true. They went above and beyond to make sure my wedding day was absolutely perfect! They ensured hair and makeup went smoothly by making a schedule for all of the wedding party. They made sure all of the vendors arrived on time and everything went according to plan. I would not have had such a perfect day if it was not for them. They made sure every little detail was taken care of. They did my sister's wedding in May and then mine in December! They seriously are so amazing. Every bride needs to book with them! Phoenix Rising Events, thank you for everything you did for us!!!! Book them now!!!!

Seriously, hire them.

I knew I wanted day of coordinators from the get go and I met with quite a few of them around the city. I am SO glad we went with Phoenix Rising for our wedding. Hillary, Becca, and Sara were fantastic. During the planning process, Hillary was so helpful and kind and I never felt pressured to stray from our vision. Since we had a few meetings before the big day, I felt I knew them well enough to trust them with everything the day of. Honestly, the wedding day was the least stressed I had been throughout the wedding process because I knew I could count on them. I highly recommend hiring them. They're worth evey single penny.

Phoenix Rising Events was great!

We used Phoenix Rising Events for our "day of" wedding reception. They were super helpful and responsive to all of our inquiries. We had an amazing reception and none of it would've been possible without them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
