Couldn't have asked or dreamt of anything better!

We worked with Nicole with Southern Oak Events at our venue Melrose Knitting Mill and were 100000% satisfied.
Nicole herself is absolutely amazing - she was on top of EVERYTHING from day one through the wedding (and even some necessary communication afterwards). I am very type A and it is difficult for me to delegate, but with Nicole, I felt extremely comfortable sitting back and allowing her to work her magic.
Cannot recommend Nicole & Southern Oak Events enough!!

Our wedding day was flawless thanks to Steph and the whole team over at Southern Oak Events! It's been almost a week since the big day, and we are still remembering small details that just made the entire day perfect. We would recommend Southern Oak Events, and definitely Steph, to anyone who is planning a wedding and wants the day to be absolutely perfect! If we ever have to plan an event in the future, we will definitely be seeking them out again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
