If your thinking about booking with Southern Skies, just do it! You will have NO regrets. My husband and I were lucky enough to be paired with Laura and I truly could not have imagined the day (and all the days leading up )without her. Laura went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and asked questions to other vendors we didn't even know to ask. Our wedding day was absolutely stress free and that was all because of Laura's hard work, patience and understanding. It is bittersweet writing this review because I already miss Laura and her radiant energy... so if your'e going back and forth about booking, PLEASE DO.. I sincerely would not have had the amazing day I had without Southern Skies and especially Laura. -

Even when we had delays on our wedding day, you would have never known with how smoothly the day ended up going. Laura even took some behind the scenes footage and made the cutest instagram reel for us and sent us the photos (like the one attached -

My background is in catering, but I love getting to know what unique moments from their relationship each couple chooses to share with their guests.
When I'm not working on wedding details, you can find me at the gym, enjoying a glass of red wine, or spending time with family + friends.
Becca is a Wolfpack fan and supermom to four. She has a strong events marketing background and she always takes such good care of her couples!
