Thompson Wedding

I don't even know where to begin. Tanya was amazing. Above and beyond what we could have imagined. She was responsive, kind, sweet and sometimes direct and to the point when needed. We had an out of state wedding and knew we needed someone else to take the reigns for us. She suggested amazing vendors and and made sure everything was picture perfect for us. If you are looking for a wedding planner please consider going with Tanya and her team. You will not be disappointed!!!

Making Dreams Come True

Southern Charm Events guided us through every step of our destination wedding weekend start to finish which included venue choices, vendor contracts, rsvp lists, and detailed family timelines. Our wedding day was so beautiful and joyous because of Southern Charm Events. Would recommend this group to any couple thinking of a wedding in the Jacksonville area and nearby islands. Truly special.

I wish we could get married every weekend just to work with Southern Charm Events again!!

Easy, stress-free, smooth, FUN! These are all words that immediately come to my mind when I think of Tanya and her team.

Tanya was our “day of coordinator” but she was truly there for us from the moment we signed the contract (over 1 year!) From the planning checklist, to the budget tracker, to all the other planning resources they provide, Southern Charm Events is WORTH EVERY PENNY! Not to mention everything they do on your actual wedding day. From set up, to keeping you on track with your timeline, to wedding crisis control, they are the total package.

If you asked me, I would say that our day went smooth, perfect, without a hitch and not one thing went wrong. However, on our wedding day there was a small hiccup with one of our table cloths and an ant pile. Tanya and her team handled it so quickly, with such professionalism that I didn’t even know about it until 3 weeks after the wedding! Talk about wedding superheroes!

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team than Tanya and Haley, and we feel so lucky that we got to spend the best day of our lives with them.

10/10 - would hire again in a heartbeat

Tanya, and the entire team at Southern Charm, were absolutely amazing throughout the whole wedding process, from planning all the way until the end of the wedding night! We booked Southern Charm about one year out from our wedding date and from the get go, Tanya and her team were thoughtful, organized, and incredibly responsive. Tanya provided us with recommendations for all of our vendors and made the whole process much more simple. When it came to the day of the wedding, Tanya and her team had everything covered. We were able to relax and focus on each other, which is exactly what we wanted. Hiring Tanya was easily the best decision we made when it came to our wedding planning!

Best wedding decision we made

Tanya and her team were god-send for our wedding. Throughout the whole planning phase she provided so much support to all my questions and even several very helpful tools! For the day-of Tanya was THE MVP. Helping to make sure all of the details got attended to and making the whole day go smooth.

Highly Recommend!! Tanya & Team are amazing.

Hiring Tanya & Southern Charm was the best decision we could have made. We chose the "Day Of" package, but that is misleading because you have access to so many resources from day one. Between the customized wedding website, checklists, vendor resources, and the ability to send over individual questions either through email or phone calls our planning process was actually really fun! I am sad its over. Both myself and husband had so much fun the day of our wedding. Not one thing went wrong, and we didn't have to make any decisions. Tanya & team already knew exactly what we wanted which allowed us to fully enjoy the day. I think that is what hiring a planner is all about. If I could leave 100 stars I would.

Amazing Support Team!

Jess and Tanya with Southern Charm Events were wonderful and helped us plan an amazing wedding! We had to postpone due to the Pandemic, and they were there every step of the way to put our minds at ease and work with our other vendors to help secure a new date. They had great local suggestions for other less common vendors that you think of last minute (ice, linens, etc.) and have great relationships with a lot of the key players in Jacksonville. Jess handled everything day of and thought through every scenario for us, making sure things moved smoothly. She was professional, kind and supportive and a blessing to have at our wedding!

Wedding Club Continental 12/10/2021

I hired Southern Charm Events about 60 days out from the date of my daughter's wedding. I really thought I had a handle on things and as the wedding date kept approaching, my daughter and I knew I needed some help. Tanya is amazing to work with and I can't give her and Jess enough praise for the day of the wedding. From making sure everything was going smoothly through emails and texts and the rehearsal. Tanya made herself available whenever I needed any questions asked or any changes made. Communication with Tanya was very easy and she knows her craft. Jess was phenomenal on the wedding day. I can without a doubt say that Jess made everything seem so effortless. She was a Rockstar the whole night. My daughter's day was so perfect and that is all I ever wanted for her. I would recommend Southern Charm events 100 times over.

Absolute Perfection!

We can’t say enough about Southern Charm Events! We had the best experience working with Tanya and her team. It was interesting to plan a Wedding in the middle of a pandemic, but our vendors made everything so easy and fun! Thank you for putting our minds at ease during the planning process and for true southern hospitality from start to finish.

Jess Kress was our day of coordinator and she was phenomenal onsite. I’m in the event industry as well and was worried that I would be in “work mode” on the big day. Jess made me feel so relaxed and took care of every detail. It was an honor to have you be a part of our special day that we will cherish forever. 10 out of 10 would recommend Southern Charm Events for all of your event planning needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
