    You need Savvy Southern Events!

    I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Shawna and the Savvy Southern Events team who turned our wedding into a dream come true! From the moment we first met, it was clear that we were in the hands of a professional who not only understood our vision but was genuinely passionate about bringing it to life and would become a friend for life.

    Shawna demonstrated an extraordinary level of dedication and creativity throughout the planning process. Every detail was meticulously thought out and executed with precision to our taste. She helped me turn my Mom’s ranch into a wedding wonderland with what I felt was little direction from us since we live all the way in Florida. Her ability to anticipate our needs was nothing short of remarkable.

    One of the most impressive aspects of working with Shawna is her exceptional communication skills. Shawna worked with us for close to a year! She was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and offer invaluable advice. It was amazing to know that Shawna would take care of anything at the drop of a hat. I did not have to worry about if vendors would show up, I did not have to worry about what they needed to do the day off. Shawna took care of it all! (I highly recommend FULL service planning!)

    On the day of the wedding, Shawna and their team were nothing short of spectacular. They seamlessly coordinated all the moving parts, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our special day without any worries. Every aspect of the wedding exceeded our expectations, leaving us and our guests in awe. She and her team had to deal with the heat, the wind, vendors, decorations, tables and addressed any potential issues before they arose.

    Moreover, Shawna went above and beyond in personalizing our wedding. As part of the full package she offered us to use anything in her storage. Pinterest Wedding and she has it! This was incredible to me because in the final weeks the number of details you need to think about can be very overwhelming. Shawna has all those perfect little details ready for you to use and I cannot thank her enough for making that part of the process so seamless. She even spray tanned me and my mother in law to give us the perfect wedding glow!

    We are eternally grateful to Shawna and team for their exceptional service, unparalleled expertise, and heartfelt commitment to making our wedding day perfect. If you are looking for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and create an unforgettable experience, look no further. Shawna is a true gem and an absolute joy to work with. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

    Best investment for our day!

    Shawna was so helpful! Our venue didn’t require a coordinator, but she was by far the best investment in out day! Everything was on schedule and ran so smoothly. We hired her for day of coordinator but she did so much more, and was available from the moment we decided to work with her. My Fiancés grandmother was unable to make it and Shawna made sure to get the entire ceremony recorded for her, and we didn’t even know until afterwards. Shawna also brought an enormous kit for emergencies, helped when my sisters dress broke before the ceremony, and decorated our cake for us!

    The help I didn’t know I needed.

    Shawna and SSE planners really rolled out the red carpet for my wedding. When I say I couldn’t have done it without them I truly mean it. There were things that didn’t even cross my mind that they covered and helped ease any of my worries. Everything was explained and walked through in such a calming matter which helped my nerves immensely.

    They have so many different options that you can control your wedding wants and needs in a manner that best suits your lifestyle and budget.

    Stress free

    My wedding went so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Savvy Southern Events brought my wedding visions to life and made it a night to remember. Everything was on time and if something goes wrong by just a minute I freak out and I didn’t come close to having a freak out. Friendly staff and professional. If I could go back and do my wedding all over again, I would book savvy southern events again! Thank you for an amazing time!

    You need Shawna!

    Shawna will keep your day organized, smooth, and worry-free! She is honestly a must have for your wedding day. As a wedding vendor myself, there is a huge difference in events with and without Shawna. Not only is she an amazing coordinator, she is also a kind and sweet human. Hiring Shawna will be one of the best wedding decisions you make!

    Wedding Planner

    I would highly recommend Savvy Southern Events! Shawna helped me organize my timeline, select decor, hire vendors and keep everyone on time the day of the wedding! Covid forced us to change our initial vision but Shawna helped create a day that was just as special and safe! I refer every bride I know to her because she’ll help all your wedding dreams come to life!
