Southern Sparkle is incredible!! ~Devon and Carlos

We could not recommend Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning more! Krisy went above and beyond to make sure all of our many questions were answered thoroughly as we were planning. We planned our wedding over the course of 2 years and over these past two years, Krisy and her team eased all of our anxiety over the many details necessary to make a wedding go smoothly. Having someone who knew the Nashville area and Nashville wedding scene was important to us, as neither one of us live in the Nashville area. Having Krisy as a planner was vital for us, as she recommended some amazing vendors and Nashville locations we ended up going with that we wouldn't have otherwise known about or come across had we not had her as a planner. Also having a planner who understood our timeless, classic elegance vision that we wanted for our wedding was key for us too, and Krisy met and exceeded our expectations with bringing our vision to life. Every detail was perfect on our wedding day because of her and her team! She was a joy to work with and we could not recommend her for your wedding enough!

Denitra with Southern Sparkle is the BOMB!!!!!

I can not say enough good things about Denitra Barnes with Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning. As a venue owner, I see weddings that do not utilize an experienced planner and the bride and mother-of-the-bride are always stressed and pulled in a hundred different directions. I was so thankful my own daughter wanted to hire Southern Sparkle for her wedding, because I had witnessed them in action. The day of the wedding we were in the bridal suite having hair & make-up done, when we came out, the venue had been transformed into my daughter’s vision. Denitra and her team were absolutely outstanding and I will sing their praises to everyone.

Yes! You need a wedding planner!

Let me start by saying, yes, you need a wedding planner, and our wedding planner Denitra is amazing.

As a bride, planning your wedding is both exciting and overwhelming. Executing your vision takes time, thoughtfulness, and experience. You may think you have the time, and perhaps you're extremely thoughtful, but it is your wedding planner that embodies all three.

We decided to prioritize hiring a wedding planner, and thus, Denitra was there from the very beginning. This afforded us the luxury of having an expert by our side with a true understanding of our vision. Denitra guided us through vendor selections. Denitra listened to our ideas and developed a beautiful design. Denitra listened when I just needed to vent, and on the day of our wedding she delivered perfection.

I'm so happy we had Denitra by our side as our wedding planner!

I had the pleasure of working with Southern Sparkle’s Memphis team led by Madison. Madison and her whole team were amazing and professional from start to finish! Madison reached out weeks before the wedding to secure the timeline, spent the day of serving our beautiful bride and did some amazing work with decor. Hands down one of the best if not THE best coordinator I’ve worked with. And not to mention some of the sweetest gals ever. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
