Southern Bash combines the warmth of friends listening to great music with the liveliness of that time you’ll never forget. More than an event planner, we bring hospitality, charm and charisma to your party that will have guests saying “remember when...?” for years to come.

Each event has that personal touch by our planners as our bashing brides become part of the Southern Bash family.

Happy bride says, “Outstanding, Incredible, Phenomenal, I could go on and on all day about Southern Bash. The team worked with my mom and I to create the wedding I always pictured as a little girl. Kari does not miss a beat, she's prompt, reliable, and she knows all the right people to make your day so special. I told her my vision and she made it happen. I cannot thank her enough for all she did! She was an absolute joy to work with! Every vendor she suggested we went with because we trusted her every word. They were outstanding as well. She knows her people and she knows her stuff! I can go on and on about Kari and the Southern Bash team all day. Kari was the biggest the biggest blessing and an absolute godsend. I can't recommend using Southern Bash enough!”

Mother of bride says,"Everything was perfect and all because of Kari’s abilities. She is an outstanding planner, organizer of chaos, and sounding board. AND the best part... she does it all with her sweet southern charm and sweet smile. I recommend Kari everyday of the week and twice on Sunday."

Great to work with!

As a fellow wedding vendor, we have had the pleasure of working with this planning team many times at Stone Crest in McKinney, and they are truly a joy to collaborate with.

What really sets them apart is their attention to the personal touches their clients care about most. From thoughtful timeline details to meaningful design elements, it’s clear they take the time to understand each couple’s vision and ensure nothing gets overlooked.

Couldn’t have done it without her🥳

We hired Southern Bash for our wedding, and from the very first meeting, it was clear they meant business in the best way possible. Kari was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and didn’t let anything slip through the cracks.
That said, she also brought a surprising amount of fun to the process. Whether it was her sense of humor during vendor meetings or her ability to calm everyone down, Kari knew how to read the room and keep the vibes right. On the wedding day, she was a total pro firm when needed, but also the first to make us laugh when nerves kicked in.
If you want a planner who will run your wedding like a well-oiled machine but still make the process enjoyable, Kari is your person. We couldn’t have pulled it off without her and her team.

Cannot Recommend Enough!

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our extraordinary wedding planner, Cindy, with Southern Bash. We first heard about Southern Bash thanks to my sister-in-law, who used them for her wedding in McKinney. While our wedding was located in Downtown Dallas, we reached out anyways, and they were fortunately available and willing to work with us!

From our first meeting with Cindy, we knew we were in good hands, but we had no idea just how incredible our wedding would turn out under her guidance. Her attention to detail and her ability to turn our vision into reality is truly remarkable. She worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our wedding, from the venue décor to the flower arrangements to the timeline of events, was nothing short of perfection. Her joy and expertise shone through in every element of the day.

Cindy was not only a fantastic organizer but also a calming presence throughout the entire planning process. Her ability to handle every challenge, and quirky request, with grace and composure gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our day without any worries.

Cindy's communication skills were impeccable. She kept us informed at every stage of the planning and was always readily available to answer our questions or concerns. Her responsiveness and willingness to listen to our ideas made us feel like our wedding truly reflected our personalities and desires.

On the day of the wedding, Cindy's presence, along with her colleagues, was invaluable. She ensured that everything ran like clockwork, and any unexpected issues were handled discreetly and efficiently. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day, knowing that Cindy had everything under control.

Cindy's passion for her work was evident in the extraordinary level of effort she put into making our wedding day magical. She transformed our vision into reality, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Our guests were raving about how seamless and beautiful everything was, and we can't thank Cindy enough for curating a truly wonderful wedding that exceeded our wildest expectations.

In summary, Cindy's expertise, dedication, and warmth made our wedding day the most special and unforgettable day of our lives. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to create the wedding of your dreams, Cindy is the one you want by your side.

Thank you, Cindy, for your kind heart, exceptional talent and making our wedding a day we will cherish forever. We look forward to keeping in touch!

We look forward to working with Southern Bash, again, real soon!

The BEST Coordinator

Kari is the best coordinator you can find to do your wedding! We got super lucky having her help us and be part of our big day. She knows how to help you with everything and her team was so helpful the day of. We even had our venue get sold about a month before our wedding and she had everything confirmed for us and talked everything out with the venue. So, we were very thankful to have her and her team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
