    Best Day Ever!

    I am so happy that we decided to go with Southern Events. Planning a wedding during the pandemic and out state was stressful and Angela made the process painless. It was important for us to stay on budget while still manifesting my dream day. Angela ensured we stay on budget by negotiating with vendors and my day was dreamy just like I asked for. She had a great rapport with everyone we meet with and that spoke volumes to her professionalism. We couldn’t be more satisfied with how things turned out and how much we appreciated having Angela plan our day.

    Best Decision Ever

    I have nothing but great things to say about Angela. Hiring her to help plan my wedding was the best decision. She was very responsive, thought of every detail I would have missed, and was always pleasant and professional no matter how busy she was! I also appreciate that she did not try to overcharge - she was very honest about how long I would need her for the day of, rather than leading me to believe I would need her help all day and charging accordingly. I really respect and appreciate that as I know others would not be as honest. If you want a stress - free big day, with every detail covered, Angela is your woman! I have received so many compliments from family and friends that it was the best wedding they've ever attended- Angela made it happen.

    Took Away All Stress!

    They took away all the stress of wedding planning! Any question or problem I thought I was answered or solved almost immediately! I simply talked through what my vision was for the wedding and was given a list of possibilities for decor, vendors, etc. based on my budget. I wasn't sure or a few things, such as flowers and she took my ideas and rolled with them! I was assured that I would love what she had in mind for me and she was right! She found all decorations we wanted and set them up, ordered and arranged all flowers, and scheduled everything related to the day of! Rehearsal was short. sweet, and to the point. She made sure the wedding followed schedule and helped me with everything I needed, allowing us to enjoy the day and not be stressed! I cannot express how thankful I was for such an awesome planner!

    Angela is the absolute best!

    Read reviews. All of them. Angela is the best! When I got engaged, I immediately began looking for a venue and wedding planner. My wedding day was everything I had hoped and dreamed. She has wonderful vendor relationships and excellent management skills. Her recommendations and guidance were VERY thoughtful and extremely helpful. She was readily available and accessible to answer any and all questions. Angela EXECUTED my vision FLAWLESSLY.

    Knowledgeable, Go-Getter

    Angela is quite spectacular. She worked hard behind the scenes with all vendors, suggested vendors, and on the day of the wedding, I did not have a care in the world because Angela took care of everything. Not one single problem, and everything looked wonderful in terms of set-up and all transitions were smooth and seemingly effortless on the part of her team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Angela is FANTASTIC! She listened to our ideas and also added some we hadn’t thought of. She worked with our budget and found great people and businesses to provide the services. Kelley was our wedding director and she was TOP KNOTCH! I loved the whole group working with Angela. Everyone that attended raved about how beautiful it was and how great the food was. Southern Events is the BEST! It could not have been better. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. They really know their stuff!
    I would highly recommend Southern Events to anyone without a doubt.

    Southern Event Planners is absolutely the best!! When I got engaged, the one thing I knew for sure was that I needed Angela. She truly understands each of her clients and does everything to make their dream wedding a reality. She understood my vision exactly - she could practically finish my sentences! For instance, at my tasting, when I eyed the venue's unattractive three-tonged forks, she quickly said "We can bring in our own flatware." Thank goodness!

    Detail-oriented doesn't begin to cover it... for her or me! She was always willing to take the time to review each tiny detail of my wedding and she ensured each of my vendors also paid close attention to detail. When my venue made a mistake and ordered rubber ducks in the wrong color, she stepped in immediately and the problem was fixed within 24 hours.

    I would recommend Angela and her whole team to anyone. She can plan and execute a amazing wedding or party that truly reflects her client's vision! Plus she takes away so much stress because I knew she would get things done and done well.

    I gave Southern Event Planners five stars on everything because they were truly the perfect wedding planners! They were a joy to work with from the time my daughter became engaged to the very end of the wedding reception. Angela listened to the vision that my daughter had of her wedding and Angela and her amazing staff made that vision become a reality. They helped us find the perfect venue, fabulous photographer and videographer, wonderful band. They were at every meeting with the caterer and florist. When there were hic ups (especially with the hotel rooms), they took care of it. They delivered over 100 gift bags to the hotel, they picked up China in Nashville, they made sure everyone was tipped at the end of the night. They made the wedding day and night completely stress free. I cannot imagine having a wedding without their support. AND not only were they excellent at the job, they were a delight to be around!

    Angela was our planner and we could not have been happier! She went above and beyond in every way possible. We had a few hiccups at the beginning of the wedding, but she fixed everything and we didn't have to stress. Love, love, love Southern Event!

    If you're a laid back bride like I was (actually if you are any type of bride), you very much need Southern Event Planners. Angela and her entire team were so helpful every step of the way, and they were able to bring my vision to life and elevate it to places I never thought it could go. I had a literature themed wedding, and my wedding was as detailed as my favorite novels. Everyone there is exceptional at what they do, and they were always there to calm me down the couple of times I did feel like I was losing it. They are some of my favorite people!

    Last tips when it comes to budget, they will NOT blow your budget unless you ask them to. Angela makes sure to have a conversation with you to make sure she understands what is important in the vision you have for your wedding and recommends vendors that will do an excellent job within the budget. I used them for the entire planning of my wedding, but they also have other packages that would be incredibly helpful to any bride for a fraction of their full fee.

    I understand you just got engaged and you are unsure on who to choose, You are looking at each vendor and viewing not only experience but price as well. How do I know this, because my husband and I were the same way. I just got married last week using Southern Event Planners and I will say they were worth every penny. As a bride you want someone who understands what you want and not what others want you to have. I will say Angela was truly able to capture every moment I wanted at the wedding. She really listened to what I want and was able to be there for me the entire process. Her team is outstanding she has a wonderful event planner named Kathleen and she was right beside me the entire day of the wedding. This team allowed my day to fully be stressed free, I would have not asked for anything else. This team is really worth it, because they are not only your planners but they become like your family. If you are on a budget they will work with you and will tell you each time if your are going over your budget before you spend more money. They really look out for your best interest and they take all the worries away. My husband and I had such a great time on our wedding day and I couldn't stop smiling the entire day. If you want someone who will capture everything you want and more this is the team. They are very professional and will make sure everything flows no matter what happens. I am so happy I used them, because people are still talking about the wedding and I know it would have not been possible without them.

    I love Angela! She is very good at reading a person's flair and style and developing a look that reflects the customer. She and her staff are very easy to talk to. My small wedding which grew into a guest list of over 300 was no problem for Southern Event Planners to readjust and plan for. Angela offered suggestions in every area I questioned her about. From catering to purchasing ice. She is a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to see the actual plan as my wedding is coming up in two weeks!

    Angela was referred to us by Kathleen Davenport. Angela did an amazing job. She helped us with invitations, floral and linens. It was extremely cost effective. We planned our event within a 90 day time frame, so I was nervous- but all of our vendors exceeded our expectations!!

    Southern Event Planners were amazing. While moving, going to school, working, and being a mom full time I was able to sit back and relax when it came to decorating and planning my wedding. Angela and Caitlin planned such a beautiful evening that exceeded all my expectations. When I did have my random bride freak outs all I had to do was shoot an email and had an instant response that put me at ease! I recommend them to the highest degree.
    Thank you guys so much for my beautiful wedding!!

    Southern Event Planners helped me to coordinate my son’s rehearsal dinner. They are THE BEST. Please do not hesitate to hire them for your special event. You will not be disappointed. They are worth every cent. Angela is an expert listener. She is very adept at capturing your vision and enhancing it with her own special touch. Caitlin at Southern Event Planners was assigned to set up and clean up on our special day. She did an excellent job. Southern Event Planners provided all of the floral arrangements and additional decor – candles, tablecloths, signage, etc., all were first-class. Our rehearsal dinner was everything we had hoped it would be and more because of their expertise. The ambiance Angela created was warm and elegant. Our guests were taken aback when they walked into the beautifully decorated room. Most importantly my dear son and beautiful new daughter-in-law were well pleased. I am telling you, do not waste time reading more reviews - stop what you're doing, pick up the phone, or open your email and contact Angela. When it is all said and done, you will say it was the best decision you ever made.

    Southern Event Planners is an amazing planning organization!!! I was a bride who had certain things I wanted but I needed some help making my vision a reality. That's where Angela stepped in! She helped me form my complete vision and she made it all a reality! She also made it a reality within my budget! She's very creative and patient. She always replied to my emails, which eased my mind about different things I was working on at the time. On our wedding day, I couldn't believe how beautiful the decorations were. The wedding literally took my breath away. Angela is very honest, creative, patient and fun! Southern Event Planners was such a joy to work with. Angela also worked with our schedules because my husband and I work full time. Thank you Southern Event Planners!!! You made my big day so special and I truly appreciate it!
