A Wedding to Remember

Shawna was incredible to work with and truly could not have imagined the wedding planning and day without her. From start to finish, she was by our side every step of the way, making the entire planning process feel smooth, exciting, and stress-free.
She is professional, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what stood out most was how genuinely she listened to our vision and brought it to life even better than all of imagined. Shawna was always accessible by phone, text, or in person whenever we had questions or needed guidance, and her calm, reassuring presence made such a difference throughout the entire experience.
Her vendor recommendations were outstanding, and she coordinated every detail seamlessly so that everything flowed perfectly on our wedding day. Because of Shawna, we were truly able to relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. She has an amazing ability to make you feel supported, cared for, and completely confident that everything is in the best hands.
Shawna doesn’t just plan weddings — she creates unforgettable experiences and makes dreams come true. Beyond grateful for everything she did for us, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner who genuinely cares about her couples and the family. She was truly the best wedding planner we could have asked for, and she will forever be a friend to us.

We love SSE

Shawna and her team were great! We used them for bartending, set up/tear down and her complimentary inventory as well! It made the day seamless and beautiful! Shawna made sure the wedding party walked the aisle with perfect timing to give me my special moment! Can't thank SSE enough for helping bring our day to life!

Cancun Wedding

Nothing but great things to say about Shawna and her business! She coordinated our son's wedding in Cancun. Shawna was in contact with the hotel from the beginning setting up appointments for hair, makeup and food tastings for the bride and groom.
She sent agendas daily while we were there keeping everyone updated on events.
Everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail and professionalism left this mama worry free so I could stay in the moment for this special occasion. Shawna has a sweet smile and disposition, but can round up an unruly group of guys and make them toe the line. I am forever grateful to her for making this wedding one to remember!

There are not enough stars to properly rate Savvy Southern Events. 🤍🤍🤍

From start to finish, our wedding coordinator and her assistant were impressive beyond measure. Planning support? Seamless. Spray tan services? A literal lifesaver. Full access to her personal wedding décor warehouse at no additional cost? Unreal. She coordinated our rehearsal, handled full venue decorating and take-down, and even made last-minute purchases on the wedding day for items we overlooked or underestimated – all without missing a beat!

She somehow managed to capture sneak-peek photos and videos of our most meaningful moments while simultaneously promoting and supporting our other vendors, carrying and bustling my dress train and veil, and coordinating every moving part behind the scenes to ensure smooth transitions all day long.

At the end of the night, she helped collect all of our personal décor items and gifts and made sure everything was safely secured in our suite, something we didn’t even have to think twice about. The level of multitasking, professionalism, and genuine care she showed is something I still can’t wrap my head around.

Savvy Southern Events is nothing short of a dream come true for a bride. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Hiring her was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

Perfect Planning for the Perfect Wedding

They do absolutely everything! Providing decorations, decorating and setting up, dealing with vendors and all admin work, even tanning, they can do it all! Rain or shine, Shawna and Treasure did an amazing job of creating the most magical wedding day we could’ve asked for! We wouldn’t have had the most amazing wedding without them!

No brainer!! Savvy Southern Events is the best!

We absolutely loved working with Shawna from Savvy Southern Events! She was truly amazing from start to finish — attentive, organized, and so thoughtful with every little detail.

Our wedding day went perfectly smooth, and I can confidently say it was because of her. She made sure everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes so we could just enjoy the day stress-free.

Shawna went above and beyond in so many ways — she even ran to the store to grab the bride and groom energy drinks the morning of (lifesaver!) and personally helped bustle my dress after the ceremony. Her calm, can-do attitude and genuine care made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for someone who will make their day effortless and unforgettable!

Perfection!

Lauren was our day of coordinator and she was AMAZING. We would recommend them and were the best out of all our vendors! They helped along the way. We didn’t have to worry about any decor and she set everything up for us! We didn’t have to worry about checking in with all our vendors because she did it for us! This was money WELL spent and worth every penny!!

Your search for a planner is over!

Savvy Southern Event Planning and Design was such a joy to work with for our recent event! Communication was always clear and timely, and the creativity brought to the design made the event stand out. She has an amazing ability to take initiative and lead with confidence, while still being easygoing and fun to collaborate with. Her leadership and personality made the whole process smooth and enjoyable—I’d happily work with her again anytime! Will work with your budget and vision!

You need this team!! You end up saving time, money and sanity with their professional guidance & experience.

My now husband and I were planning to do a quick destination wedding and then a few short months ago decided to have an actual wedding after all. I was overwhelmed to say the least! Shawna and I met for coffee and within a few minutes she mentioned an event center I’ve never heard of. Within a week we looked and booked it! Meanwhile she gave me the steps and tools to take each step all while keeping me organized which says a lot. I work full time and also travel to race and train and she still made this so doable and we cannot thank her and her team enough. The reminders and quick responses were something I could rely on throughout this whole process- also a bonus was she even does spray tans and had me looking good and feeling good! She was basically
Holding my hand through this entire process. I don’t usually leave reviews unless I feel like I need to warn the world to not use someone but it was opposite for SSE. I want every future bride to do themselves a favor and use them. You end up saving time and money which is opposite of what you think with a planner. Just do it! Beyond grateful because our special day was PERFECT!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
