Jessie is a dream to work with. My family keeps going back to her, and she has become our go to wedding girl. I booked her for help with wedding planning, and she provided all of the finishing touches to help make my wedding beautiful. She is very knowledgable in the industry and has a large list of referrals for vendors. Jessie takes great pride in her work and it shows! Highly recommend!

Made my destination wedding perfect and stress free! Could not have done it without her. Jessie was my coordinator, designer, florist and caterer! Everything was perfect!

Jessie made my daughter's birthday party catering perfect! It was frozen themed and she took such care to make sure that the food matched the theme. We had snowflake shaped cheese, "Olaf noses" which were carrots in ranch, frozen hearts which were yogurt dipped hearts, melted olafs and so much more! And it was super yummy to boot! She thought of every little detail and everyone was wowed!

Jessie was amazing! She handled everything so beautifully. We were pleasantly surprised at what all she provided! The wedding was flawless. She answered my questions quickly. She directed the wedding and kept everything on schedule. Perfect!
Her eye for design and details sets her apart. Love, love, love!!

As the mother of the groom in a wedding planned and executed by Jessie, I want to "hand deliver " her 5 stars and much more ! My now daughter in law, and son, were on a tight budget for their wedding, but had grandiose visions of a "perfect fairytale wedding ".
Jessie not only listened to this young couples wants and desires, but she guided them, and provided them with the most beautiful wedding ever !
Her talent in making everything she touches turn to gold and sparkle, is unlike anything I have seen with other wedding planners. ( this wedding was #3 for me in 15 months)...
I would highly recommend her and her company to all, and i am excited to have her for wedding number 4 next summer !

Jessie is amazing at what she does! She made our wedding day more than I ever imagined it could be! She took on every detail to our wedding and catered to 250+ ppl like it was nothing! I didn't know if anything went wrong and my mom was able to hangout with the girls all day and not lift a finger! If you are looking for a wedding planner and a friend throughout the process of planning your big day, I recommend her and her staff any day!!!!!

If there is one thing I can say about Jessie it's that she is meant for her job! My wedding was on a plantation with a huge barn and she turned that barn into the most beautiful reception I have ever seen. She heard my vision and made it come to life with amazing details I would have never thought of. We had a mason jar stand, vintage wedding fans (which she made herself), cake stand, whiskey barrels, drapery, globe string lights, a bar on an old wagon, beautiful flower arrangements, etc. I could go on and on but only pictures would be able to describe how creative and breathtaking her work is. Jessie always assured me she had everything in control. Even when unexpected things would come up ,she never broke a sweat and always had a back up plan for everything. She saved me lots of headaches and my wedding would have never been what it was without her help. Jessie does EVERYTHING from designing, decorating, making invitations,programs, wedding fans, flower arrangements, set up, clean up, rehearsal, you name it!

I absolutely loved Southern Sophistication Designs! Jessie made my wedding day drama and stress free! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! We also hired Jessie to do my flower arrangements and they turned out stunning! Jessie is really great about making your wedding unique and add touches you would never think of! I would definitely use them again and I've had multiple friends use SSD too!! Jessie is the BEST in the wedding business!

There aren't enough words to express how happy I am with SSD!! Jessie made my dream wedding a reality and I can't thank her enough. She helped us with everything from choosing a venue to finding the right caterer and she even made us one of a kind invitations! My wedding was my pinterest board come to life, but even better. My mom was very happy that Jessie kept our budget in mind and helped us save on some high dollar expenses. We even had a little left over to help pay for the honeymoon, how awesome is that? Having SSD was the best investment we made during the whole planning process and it saved us time, stress and money!

Jess was great. She handled everything day of the wedding so that all I had to was relax. She also did most of the decor for my wedding which was absolutely stunning. People told me it looked like a movie wedding!!

Great ideas! Beautiful creativity. Had a wonderful, beautiful wedding day for my daughter! Even with horrible rain, it turned out to be a great, fun wedding!
Suggestions:
1. Be more available with communication on the wedding day, especially as wedding time draws near. A few glitches and we couldn't get her or find her.
2. Also, really take good notes on what bride wants/likes. (My daughter wanted and discussed blue and yellow flowers. She had the yellow, no blue. Also, does not like the color pink, and we had pink napkins for all place settings. At least they were linen.)

Jessie completely lied to my mother and myself. she knew she wasnt allowed at the Venue and she went along with it anyway and even let us pay her. after we found out that she wasnt allowed, because she is very unprofessional, we asked if we could void the contract and if we were able to get our money back. she said yes...
but the catch is, we still havent recieved this, and it was back in Feburary.

please honey keep your money, the whole 250 it was. Obviously your company isnt doing too well.

New name. Same poor quality service. Southern Sophistication Designs with Jessie Patton (formerly Wildflower Event Services with Jessie Patton) did a disappointing job at decorations for the church wedding. The corsages and boutonnieres were so small and they all looked the same where you couldn't tell the difference between a corsage and a boutonniere. We sent a list of names ahead of time of who was to get what, double checked and confirmed the list with Jessie Patton, yet still ended up one corsage and two boutonnieres short. It was embarrassing. All the flowers dropped petals all over the church and my corsage dropped one whole flower within 15 minutes. I didn't even make it down the aisle with it intact! The wedding coordinator called afterward to say there were flowers all over the church and water was all over the altar.

The wreaths on the church doors were supposed to be baby's breath as agreed on, but even as carnations were totally underwhelming. The pews were supposed to have floral arrangements in a jar, covered with ribbon with the flowers/greenery cascading down. Not to worry according to Jessie, everything would look great. Well, it surely didn't look anything like that. What happened?

The floral arrangements at the 173 Carlyle House reception were nice, however Jessie Patton failed to bring the sparklers for the bride and groom getaway as promised, even after repeated reminders 3 times on 3 separate occasions and one follow-up email one week before the wedding just to confirm. Fortunately, Gerise at the Carlyle House had some extra bubbles and really came through for us. It was extremely disappointing that Jessie was unable to deliver on all her promises. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful wedding despite her multiple failures. Attention to details should be the hallmark of a good florist/event planner yet Jessie Patton clearly falls short. The name of the company may change, but if the name Jessie Patton is associated with it, be extremely cautious!

If I could do it all over again, I would have never chosen Jessie to do my wedding. When we met for the first time she talked herself up and promised all kinds of things if we chose to go with her. She promised many things when we signed the contract and looking back half of what she said would be done, she didn't do. She doesn't answer calls, texts, or emails about 98% of the time and doesn't return your call, you have to BLOW her phone up to get her to answer. She is very unprofessional, talking about brides, peoples bridal parties and weddings on her personal social media website. She was always late to meetings (when you had one, which was rare), and of course had excuses every time. She did nothing but put more stress on us. She OVER charges on flowers and does NOT have an actual store receipt when or where she purchased them. She fought continuously with us about the things WE wanted, she wanted them her way even though we were paying her to do it. On the day of the wedding I barely saw her and when I did she was bad mouthing people. There were things she was supposed to do the night of the rehearsal dinner that she said would be done, it WASN'T. The day of the wedding my mother and a bridesmaid had to get things together that she was supposed to do when she didn't. When I got wedding pictures back I was VERY disappointed about the details and decor that she did, most of the decor was mine that I brought from home. I have spoken with other brides that used her and they all say the same thing I have said. FUTURE BRIDES- Don't waste your time or money with her.
