When searching for a wedding planner, the universe led straight to SDS Events. From the very first contact, Shawon and her team made each planning step stress free and we had a lot of fun. I shared a few ideas of what we wanted and she conceptualized the entire day with intricate detail. We wholeheartedly trusted her expertise and guidance throughout the process. We had so much fun on our wedding day and it was truly a memorable day. Thank you is too weak for our gratitude. We HIGHLY recommend!

SDS did an excellent job of servicing all of our post wedding party needs. They were very professional and attentive to all our details. We had an unusual situation because I'm an event planner as well but didn't want to do all the work for this event. With that in mind, SDS was able to adaptive their approach to meet all of our requirements. They were very timely, effective and efficient dealing with all of our vendors, managing all the "day of" activities and dealing with all the unforeseen issues that popup at any event. They are very professional. I would recommend using them for your event and I certainly will use them again as needs require. They truly exceeding our expectations.

Words truly cannot describe how wonderful and talented our wedding planner and event designer—along with her incredible team at SDS Events—are! From the very beginning, the communication was top tier. She always had our best interest at heart, made sure every detail was exactly what we wanted, and kept us on track with a clear and organized timeline.

She treats her clients like family, and that genuine care shines through in everything she does. I seriously miss our monthly meetings—they were always something I looked forward to!

On our big day, everything came together so beautifully, and we were blown away by how perfectly she brought our vision to life. Our guests are still raving about how stunning everything was. It was truly SDS Events that made our dream wedding a reality.

If you want someone who is passionate, reliable, incredibly gifted, and just an overall joy to work with—look no further. Forever grateful!

My daughters’s wedding was absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for your superb professionalism and class! The attention to even the smallest detail did not go unnoticed! What an amazing wedding experience from start to finish!!!

I had the pleasure of officiating a wedding at the Crystal Ballroom Charlotte and collaborating with SDS Event. I can wholeheartedly say they are an exceptional planning company. Tiara McClain and her team demonstrated incredible professionalism, organization, and attention to every detail. Their commitment to ensuring the event ran seamlessly was obvious from start to finish. I highly recommend SDS Events to anyone seeking a dependable and experienced wedding planning team. Collaborating with them was truly a delight!

The wedding was originally scheduled to be held indoors in the venue's backup space. Fortunately, the rain held off, and the sun came out instead. When the weather changed unexpectedly, Tiara and her team quickly sprang into action—helping to dismantle the indoor setup and swiftly transitioning everything outside. Their quick response and adaptability made the day perfect.

Working with SDS Events for our wedding was the absolute best decision we could have ever made! Shawon and her team were so professional, kind, and caring. I could tell that they genuinely cared about my husband and me and making our dream wedding come true. It was so helpful having a team by our side that met with us monthly (and then weekly) to keep us organized and thinking about all the intricacies of planning a wedding. I rarely felt overwhelmed throughout the process because I knew SDS was handling things like coordinating vendors behind the scenes so I could actually enjoy planning.

Everyone would ask was I stressed during the wedding planning. My answer was always, no because I had SDS Events! I truly didn’t worry about anything and everything went BEAUTIFULLY!!! And after the wedding many of our guests complemented on how well the planners executed the wedding. My husband and I DEFINITELY recommend these ladies.!!

Shawon and her team were nothing short of amazing! They gave my wife and me the assurance and peace of mind that we needed to make our big day a huge success. They are professional, knowledgeable, efficient and understanding. Couldn’t have done this without them!
