    Denitra was a miracle worker!

    Denitra and Southern Sparkle planned my dream day. I truly do not think I would have survived wedding planning without her. Every vendor meeting, tasting, and tour, Denitra was right there. Every question or concern, Denitra was a text or phone call away. There were problems Denitra solved without me even knowing so to not stress me out!
    Denitra also helped us plan our rehearsal dinner which took a large amount of stress off of our plate as well. Every single piece of our wedding day exceeded our expectations and was truly beautiful. I will forever recommend Denitra and SouthernSparkle to anyone planning a wedding. She had a plan, a backup plan, and a backup backup plan for everything to ensure our day was perfect. She helped us stay on budget and plan the most perfect day.

    Wedding of Our Dreams

    Denitra was absolutely amazing. She was responsive and knew exactly who to recommend for vendors to make sure our wedding day experience was beyond amazing. Denitra was very communicative with our vendors and talked us through some pretty hefty hiccups leading up to the big day (groom’s suit and bridesmaids dresses). When looking for a planner we wanted someone who would walk us through some big decisions by offering expert advice. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations. Would definitely recommend her for other couples, and we’ll certainly be reaching back out for other major events.

    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!

    The Southern Sparkle Team is AMAZING!! Would without a doubt recommend them to plan your wedding!!

    I want to thank the Southern Sparkle Team for making our wedding day the best day ever! I had the pleasure of working one on one with the owner and master planner, Krisy, and she is for sure the best in the business! From the very start, she was professional, organized, and answered my questions in a timely manner. It was important to me to be as stress-free as possible on my wedding day. Without Krisy, I’m not sure that would have ever happened! I knew without a doubt that she would go above an beyond to make the vision a reality! She met with me on-site multiple times, made countless connections with vendors to get just the right items within our budget, and took care of every detail in between. She and the Sparkle Team were always one step ahead! As a result, the day was nothing short of perfection! We had the wedding of my dreams and I am forever grateful for the guidance of Krisy in achieving that! I simply cannot thank her enough for everything she did! It will be a day Jake and I will never forget and that is thanks to her and her amazing team!

    Highly recommend Denitra to help with coordination and wedding planning!

    I was so glad that Denitra Barnes, one of the planners at Southern Sparkle, was available and able to assist us with month of coordination for our wedding in October. Denitra is extremely kind, upbeat, and positive - a great person to have by your side on your special day. I could tell from the first time we talked that we could be great friends. She worked so hard on our wedding day to make sure everything was seamless and perfect down to the minute. My bridal party and vendors were so impressed with her timeline! Tori, her assistant, was also wonderful, and helped save the day several times, whether it was bringing my forgotten bouquet to our first look or bustling my dress numerous times. Both Denitra and Tori have sweet and calming personalities that definitely helped relieve my stress as a bride. They are also a ton of fun! My husband and I would highly recommend hiring Southern Sparkle and these special ladies to make all your wedding plans and dreams come to life!!

    They made our day so perfect!!! We can’t thank Southern Sparkle and Events enough for how amazing they were planning our wedding and coordinating it!!

    We are so incredibly thankful that we had the Southern Sparkle team to help us through every step of the way with our wedding planning and on our wedding day. As soon as we got engaged we knew exactly who we wanted as a wedding planner. Working in the wedding industry ourselves we have had the opportunity to work alongside Krisy at many weddings and have seen the way she brings calm in the storm, navigates through all of the wedding day hurdles that may arise and pulls everything together seemingly effortlessly while making the brides feel relaxed and at ease. Every time I see her at a wedding I am so happy that she is there! When planning our own wedding I honestly didn’t realize how many things there are to think about and how many loose ends there are to pull together. With Krisy as our planner I felt like everything was handled. She answered all of my questions and truly did an incredible job of making our wedding day perfect from the big decisions all the way down to all the last little details. If you are getting married grab her if you can! Best decision ever!

    Phenomenal

    My mom has assisted with a local florist for several years. Before I was even engaged, I received a phone call from her saying "I hired your wedding planner." My mom and the florist had interacted with several different planners and everyone agreed she was second to none. Needless to say, they were 100% correct. Even from the very first meeting, I knew we had made the right call in hiring Krisy.

    Krisy and the Southern Sparkle team were phenomenal. I could not imagine taking on such a huge responsibility of planning a wedding 4 hours away. Or even 10 minutes away for that matter. She was so responsive, sensitive, and attentive to any needs throughout the engagement season up until the end of the wedding night. It is very overwhelming to begin the wedding planning process; however, it was so convenient to have an expert opinion for any & all needs for the wedding & reception. Everyone
    went on and on about how great Krisy was (especially after receiving their very detailed schedule at the rehearsal). She is well worth her money + then some! My entire bridal party & family absolutely adore Krisy and we could not have imagined our day without her special touch!

    Amazing experience with Souther Sparkle!

    Southern Sparkle is the one stop shop for an amazing wedding planning experience. Krisy, their owner and lead planner, is the best of the best. Her systems, templates, and organization techniques used throughout the process are what makes the experience so easy and enjoyable for the bride, groom, and family. They take care of all vendor communication and make sure that everyone is there and on time on the wedding day. They create a VERY detailed timeline for the whole day and think of the tiniest details that end up being very important. Their team is always one step ahead, which truly makes the wedding day very laid back for the wedding party and family so that everyone can soak in the details and moments of the special day. Krisy is truly so fun to get to know. Her personality is so calming and reassuring - she is clearly very experienced in the field and I would recommend using her to every single bride! Southern Sparkle made my wedding day everything I wanted it to be and more, and I couldn't be more grateful for Krisy and her team!

    Par Excellence!

    I had the good pleasure of working with Southern Sparkle Wedding Events with one of my high level corporate bands, the Hi-Definition Party Band, this past band weekend and had on of the best vendor experiences, ever! Denitra was super helpful and took great care of the band. A consummate professional! She certainly planned and executed a fabulous and flawless event for the client. Best Wishes to Southern Sparkle Wedding Events and their team!

    Incredible!

    Thanks to Madison, our wedding was an absolute dream come true. Our day was stress-free and full of love and our favorite people! Thanks to her, we got to cherish every moment and not worry about the little things. We could not have done it without her. She was there every step of the way… answering phone calls, emails, and hundreds of questions. SHE IS THE BEST!! We cannot thank her enough.

    Tori was Amazing!!!

    We were so thankful to have Tori as our wedding planner! She was very thorough, and knowledgeable about everything that we had wished for on our wedding day and the days leading up to it! She’s so talented with everything she does, from signs, to directions, and even some last minute restitching on my dress! She’s a planner but also a calligrapher, a designer, and your go to for last minute changes. She’s was wonderful to have and friendly to all. Thanks so much Tori! We love you!

    The Best in the Business

    I knew the moment I got engaged, I wanted to hire a wedding planner. I heard Southern Sparkle was the best in the business, and they were right! Really enjoyed working with Alexandria! Everything was handled for my big day, and I didn’t have to stress.

    Hire a planner!!

    HIRE A PLANNER!!

    We had the pleasure of working with Tori and let me just say she was god sent! From the beginning of planning to the very end of our wedding night she was there every step of the way! ( and she Is cute as a button!! ) she danced the night away with us and even helped me bustle my dress after the ceremony. She also took the time to make sure my chapel doors opened at the very second iwanted them to open during the song I walked down the aisle for that SUPER DRAMATIC ENTRANCE I WAS WANTING! She and I became so close. She took all the worries away and can’t recommend this company and bunch of certified wedding planners enough!! Thank you Tori!! You have a friend for life!!

    Above and beyond

    Krisy went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Southern Sparkle helped the day go smooth and allowed us to enjoy our day and live in the moment rather than worry about the wedding details, which was priceless to us and our family.

    The wedding party and the vendors all mentioned afterwards how amazing our wedding planner was. It was great to know we had someone to trust to make everything turn out perfect on our wedding day.

    Book NOW!!!

    When thinking about my wedding day, I wanted every single person to enjoy the day and not be worried about how things were going to get done. I also knew I needed someone to guide me along the wedding planning process to make sure I was getting things done on time. Krisy at Southern Sparkle made all of these things possible. From our very first meeting, I knew the wedding planning process was going to be a breeze. Krisy guided me every step of the way. If there was something I didn't know or needed, she was there. The day before the wedding, our bridal party tables weren't delivered due to lack of communication from the rental company. Krisy used her time and money to secure us the tables we requested from a different vendor and I had no idea this even happened until after the wedding day! Nick and I would book with Krisy a million times over! If you want a seamless, stress-free wedding day, do not hesitate to book Southern Sparkle!

    Best Team Around!

    Krisy and Southern Sparkle go above and beyond to make your wedding day visions become a reality. This team is incredibly professional and hard working. I found them to be very communicative and flexible. I appreciated all the work that they did behind the scenes leading up to the wedding, but I especially loved the sense of calm and control that they brought into my big day. I'm very grateful I chose Krisy and Southern Sparkle!

    Every Bride Needs Krisy!

    Krisy and her team are AMAZING!
    She was the first person I hired for my wedding (2 years in advance because I was not letting my date get taken. ) I seriously could not have done it without her. She was there every step of the way.
    She helps you with all the decisions leading up to the wedding, so that when the day gets there, you, as the bride, do not have to lift a finger for your day to come together.
    I trusted Krisy 10000%. All I had to do on wedding day was show up and get ready.
    I look back on my wedding day and I always say: “I would not have changed a single thing. It was perfect in every way.” And all credit belongs to Krisy with Southern Sparkle.
    From planning, to decorating, to the wedding day timeline. IT. WAS. FLAWLESS.

    Modern Day J-Lo: The REAL Wedding Planner

    After I got engaged and began the wedding planning process, I knew I would need help. I wanted a wedding planner so I could truly enjoy this time with my mom and her presence on my wedding day. Man- did Madison, my Southern Sparkle wedding planner, exceed ALL expectations! From the first meeting, I knew she was the person for the job. I can’t put into words just how amazing and important she was and still is to our family now! Madison was kind and informative. She brought allllll the creativity and fun while keeping my vision in mind- only making it better! She was efficient and so timely with responses. Her healthy relationships with all the vendors made communication with them easier. She went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect! Also, she treated my entire family, wedding party, and guests so kindly. Not only were we in love with her, but they were too! Because of Madison, I wasn’t the least bit stressed out or worried on my wedding weekend. I knew she had me; and if anything did go wrong, she would fix it before I ever knew about it. I remember being worried about not clicking or feeling like I was working with a stranger planning one of the most important days of my life, but she felt like family. She really cared to make my day as perfect as she made her own, and I firmly believe it. Not to mention, she was the one who recommended and gave us the perfect vendors to bring my dream to life! I will forever be grateful to her and Southern Sparkle for their business. They are worth every penny!

    Best decision I’ve ever made!

    I am so happy I hired Krisy as my wedding planner! She was amazing to work with. From our first meeting, I knew she would be perfect to help me plan my wedding. Krisy and her team are very professional and you can clearly tell they know everything about the wedding industry. Planning a big wedding can be super stressful so it was important to me I had a rock star wedding planner on my side. With helping me stay on a budget, pick my vendors, communicate with vendors, bring my vision to life and take all the stress away from me. For example, I found it really hard to try to get ahold of most vendors but when I would ask Krisy if she could help me, they would get back to her immediately. My entire wedding day I got to relax and enjoy the day with my family and friends. Krisy handled taking care of set up, tear down, keeping up with my gifts, marriage license, all my crazy groomsmen, kept us all on time and so much more. Honestly I have no clue how I would plan my wedding with out her. Thank you so much Krisy and the southern sparkle team! You are simply the best!

    Out of this world wedding planner!

    I don't even know where to begin, Madison was our planner and after calling around to different planners, none of them felt like they fit - except for Madison and Southern Sparkle! She provided professional services from start to finish and basically held my hand the whole way! My husband Will and I both said, the decor and wedding ceremony and setup of venue and reception far exceeded our expectations. We were speechless at how beautiful everything was...she took care of everything and I didn't have to lift a finger, nor did anyone in my family for the day of the wedding. Things I was panicking over she already had handled, and our wedding day came and she threw down! She setup, took down, packed us up I mean she was fantastic. I told her I was sad that the wedding was coming to an end because I genuinely like her and she's like a good friend that's how personable and professional she issue's! SHE'S AMAZING! THANK YOU MADISON & SOUTHERN SPARKLE, WE LOVE Y'ALL!!

    Madison McGhee is AMAZING!!

    THE Madison McGhee went above and beyond to make sure all of my wedding planning went smoothly and was a fun and exciting experience for us. It was great to have someone who has established relationships with our wedding venue and the best vendors in Memphis. Madison reached out and kept track of all my wedding contracts, troubleshooting any issues and fixing them before I could begin to worry about them! She was available for vendor meetings to make sure I didn't miss any crucial details during bookings. Madison provided a timeline for the bridal party and all vendors, so the wedding day was stunning and perfect.

    Most importantly, Madison is kind, patient, a fantastic communicator, and truly cares for her clients. I am so grateful to Madison and her team of assistants for their hard work from early morning to night to ensure we had the best day of our lives! I highly recommend contacting Madison McGhee for your entire wedding planning needs.

    HANDS DOWN The Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding

    Trevor and I have tried to start writing this review a million times over (literally) and have literally retyped and typed it again and again because it really doesn’t seem like there are enough words to describe how completely amazing and awe worthy Krisy and her team is at what they do. A little back story on how Trevor and I met Krisy:

    Trev and I are wedding videographers and own our own videography company, and have since we were in high school. So we are very deeply invested in the wedding industry. We met Krisy filming what probably had to of been like our third wedding ever. And while we weren’t extremely experienced at this point, we both knew Krisy and her team were different, unique, and priceless from the start. Its no secret that we literally have adored Krisy since that day and we said then that she would be our wedding planner for our own wedding day. And that was the start of a very very special industry relationship that soon blossomed into a sweet friendship.

    From then on, any wedding we filmed where Krisy and her team were the planners, the weddings were noticeably different. They were so incredibly and intricately planned so that everyone, and I do mean everyone, there was so relaxed, so happy, and the atmosphere, the energy, was undeniably joyous with no stress. The mother of the bride, the bride, everyone, was just soaking in the moments of the day. Thus, as videographers, we got to just capture these moments from a bird’s eye view. Let me tell you, these are still some of our favorite weddings to date.

    Fast forward to a few years in the future (2020 to be exact) and Trevor and I found ourselves the ones engaged. Finally the ones on the other side, experiencing the excitement, planning, and let’s be honest, a little bit of chaos that goes into those initial moments of being engaged and getting plans set. You want to know who the first person was that I texted a selfie of us to? Yep, you guessed it: Krisy. There were a few reasons:
    1. She had always been our biggest cheerleaders throughout us growing our business and she loved to celebrate our relationship.
    2. We always talked about when Trevor and I’s time would be to be the bride and groom when we worked with her on wedding days.
    3. She celebrates her people big and I couldn’t wait to celebrate this moment with her.
    I remember that text very clearly, she celebrated with me and I soon responded: we HAVE to have you. I am texting tomorrow to book you. And that we did. I literally texted her the day after getting engaged and by the time she was officially in office , we had her booked. HANDS DOWN the BEST money we spent for our wedding day. I will say this going to my grave, because like I’ve said, she is priceless and her talent is unmatched in this industry. It’s just different, in the best way, with her.

    Trevor, Krisy, my mom, and I soon took on planning together, dreaming, articulating those dreams into dream boards, planning every detail (you can imagine there was a lot because of us being in the industry), and then executing those dreams into the most magical reality. Even when there were hiccups, Krisy handled them with grace. I still cry thinking of that day and mine and Trevor’s appreciation for Krisy for truly a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams. We both know that our day, in a large part, was as calm, special, unique, and so as it was because of HER!

    I know I’ve probably rambled on at this point but this woman deserves to be celebrated like she celebrates her brides. And if you are still reading, let me finish with this. If you do one thing for your wedding, your bridal party, for your mom as the mother of the bride, your dad as the father of the bride, for your family, for YOU as the bride, do this: hire Krisy and her team. There is no money that would amount to her worth for your peace of mind on your wedding day to KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt, everything is perfect and just as you wanted it. You will in no way shape or form regret it and you too will be singing her praises from the beginning like we continue to do!

    Much Love,

    Your Dearest Friends, Your Past Bride and Groom:

    Trevor and Amber Masterson

    Experience with Vendor

    I love love LOVE Southern Sparkle. Without them my wedding would of not have gone as good as it did. I had my wedding in Arkansas and she made the 5 hour trip to tour my venue and talk to us about the details of my wedding, and made sure everything is what we wanted.

    Wedding planner magic

    For years I have looked forward to being a "Sparkle Bride". I have loved Krisy’s work for quite some time, and just knew I wanted her help in planning my wedding. My mom and I are big believers in going all out, and we knew Krisy's visions were the same and could take my wedding to the next level. Throughout the planning process Krisy was always professional, detailed, responsive, and always open to our big dreams and ideas. No matter what, we felt confident that she would make sure we were taken care of. She truly cares for her clients and her carefulness while planning shows just that. Krisy executed our perfect day with grace, kindness and hard work. Her and her fabulous team brought our fairytale dreams to life. There’s no one better to entrust your wedding to.

    The Wedding of My Dreams

    Choosing Krisy and the Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event planning team to help me organize my “big day” was an invaluable decision. My wedding day was truly everything I had ever imagined it would be, and Krisy and team helped make it all possible! I was previously a bridesmaid in two weddings Krisy coordinated, and one of the first steps I took after I got engaged was call and reserve the team for myself. I was continuously impressed by Krisy’s expertise, professionalism, accessibility, and timeliness. Every time I had a question or concern, she was ON it. I was a bride that had a vision for my look and flow of the evening, and Krisy helped me work through every detail to ensure there was nothing I was forgetting. With her help, my vision for the wedding I had always dreamed of was brought to life! Krisy’s passion for what she does makes her irreplaceable. She wholeheartedly invests herself in making each individual client’s wedding day special. Every vendor I spoke with throughout the process (rentals, photography, florist, venues) would tell me how lucky I was to have her on my side. I agreed. She treats everyone around her with kindness, and she carries herself in a manor that makes her one of the most reputable, respected, and sought-after planners in the industry. Thank you, Krisy and Southern Sparkle team, for all your hard work! Every bride deserves an experience like mine!

    Absolutely awesome!

    Krisy Thomas helped us plan the most beautiful wedding! She provided a vendors list that fit our budget and they were all wonderful to work with! We only selected the month of wedding package; however, we had unlimited email access to Krisy the entire year where she walked us through every decision. She even proofread and made suggestions for our invitations and programs. I could have never put this wedding together without her help! The day of the wedding was truly magical! We had an outdoor ceremony, so Krisy and her two assistants watched the radar every 20 minutes. They made a last minute decision to move the ceremony up 5 minutes to miss the rain...and it was perfect timing. My daughter dreamed of an outdoor wedding...so they made it happen! I would recommend Krisy and Southern Sparkle to everyone! I had no idea where to get started and she was definitely the shining light that we needed! She is super sweet, very knowledgeable and professional and she has a terrific work ethic! We just love her 💗

I would definitely recommend Southern Sparkle to every single bride and groom looking for the best wedding planners in the business!

    Madison with Southern Sparkle-Memphis, TN

    Madison is the best planner any bride could ever ask for. The whole planning process went so smoothly with her even while planning a wedding during a pandemic!

    You NEED Southern Sparkle

    Southern Sparkle was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. Madison was perfect, offering guidance through the entire planning process and coordinating the day of. If there were any problems, I didn’t hear about them. She arranged my decor exactly as I wanted, assisted family and friends, helped us pack up everything, and made sure we had everything we wanted. I would not hesitate to book Southern Sparkle again, the peace of mind was priceless!

    I could not have planned a wedding, with or without a pandemic, without Krisy and her unbelievable team!

    Oh my goodness there are so many amazing things to be said about Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle Weddings that it is tough to even know where to begin. Krisy is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, easy-going, kind, and helpful people I have ever met. All of these qualities plus many more that Krisy possesses are so critical when handling the wedding planning process and wedding weekend. When Ryan and I first got engaged, we immediately began discussing dates, vendors, locations, etc. My only request was that each of these things be planned around having Krisy from Southern Sparkle Weddings as our wedding planner. We 100% planned our wedding date and all that follows around Krisy’s availability and I would not change a thing about it.

    Planning a wedding is a BIG task during any normal year, but tack on a global pandemic beginning 2 months before your original wedding date and it adds in more stress than words can even describe. I don’t know how Krisy was able to manage all of this with so many brides but she did with such grace! As we were re-planning our wedding weekend after cancelling our original wedding date, Krisy remained just as calm, collected, and helpful as she had from the very beginning in early 2019. While I would never wish this level of craziness during wedding planning on anyone, I know that if you have Krisy on your side then you will manage better than you could ever imagine. Since our wedding, we often reflect back on how wonderful everything was and that is all thanks to Southern Sparkle Weddings and all that they did for us. We truly hit the jackpot with our vendors, but especially Krisy and her team. We love you, Krisy and Southern Sparkle Weddings!

    Could Not Do This Without Her

    Hiring Krisy was the best decision ever! She kept me calm during my COVID wedding stress. My wedding was out of town. After the rehearsal, I realized that I forgot a few things for the wedding at my house. Krisy lives in the same town as me. She actually went to my house and picked up my wedding items. Had she not done that my plan was skip my rehearsal dinner to pick up the wedding items. The day of the wedding, she took care of everything. She had “day of the wedding” schedules for everyone. My wedding attendants and family knew where to be and when. No one had to call me asking where to be. It was so wonderful just being able to enjoy being with my new husband, family, and friends. I could not experience my wedding day in such a relaxing way if I hadn’t hired Krisy.

    We were absolutely thrilled with our experience!

    This was our first wedding to plan since our own 30 years ago. Many things have changed, but I have to say that I have no idea what we would have done without Southern Sparkle. We enjoyed every meeting we had, and felt like we are old friends from the very first time we met. Their expertise, care, suggestions, and insight are unbelievable. I had no idea what to expect but was thoroughly amazed. Our daughter’s wedding date, which had to be changed due to Covid-19, was a dream. We had everything planned, scheduled, and even had color-coded spreadsheets for all involved. We have discussed this so many times since that date and are in awe at how easily the day was handled so that we could enjoy EVERY moment. Words don’t do Southern Sparkle’s service justice. Thank you, Southern Sparkle for making our daughter’s dreams come true very easily. I have been thrilled to suggest your services to two more people. Our time and money were very well spent! Thank you for your dedication and hard work. It is obvious that you love what you do!

    The BEST decision for my daughter's wedding was to hire Southern Sparkle Wedding Event Planning!!!

    I was the Mother who thought she could do it herself! I was very WRONG! Hiring Krisy Thomas, owner of Southern Sparkle, was the BEST decision I made for my daugther's perfect wedding! Southern Sparkle was always available, never missed a detail, and handled every detail perfectly, from the smallest to the most important! This was the BEST investment overall for our wedding experience and very affordable! Krisy and her team became much more than planners, they shared in the joy and desire for perfection for every detail. They provided honest and helpful suggestions every step of the way. I did not have to follow up with any vendor, Krisy did it all! The wedding day was perfect and relaxed! I thought it would be chaotic, but not with Southern Sparkle! They arrived early and stayed until the very end, making sure every moment was just as my daughter had dreamed. Throughout the day, Krisy was always there cuing the timeline perfectly!
    My heart is full of love and gratitude for Southern Sparkle and Krisy Thomas! This was the day our family will treasure forever thanks to Krisy and her team!

    MUST HAVE for your wedding day

    Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle made all my wedding day dreams come true. My very first step after getting engaged was contacting Krisy to hire her for my wedding day. My main goal as a bride was that the day go by as organized and stress-free as possible for my family and I. I wanted everyone to relax and to be able to enjoy and be present during our special day, and Krisy and her team made that possible for us. Krisy, throughout this whole wedding planning process, was a dream to work with. Being a May 2020 bride was not easy, (thanks COVID) but Krisy kept me up to date on all the ever-changing state laws and restrictions-as well as my venue’s restrictions! We ended up rescheduling for August, and Krisy was the one who reached out to all my wedding vendors to make sure they were available and also kept them updated on what Slater and I were planning. As stressful as wedding planning is, I could not have imagined doing this without her, especially this crazy year. She was always an email, phone call or text message away. Any questions or concerns I had she immediately answered them. Not only did she help make my wedding day perfect, but the whole wedding planning process as well. Everyone needs a Krisy in their life.. as a wedding planner and friend. Do yourself a favor and hire Southern Sparkle- you won’t regret it!

    Effortlessly seamless!!

    Our wedding day was unique because of the current state of the world (for anyone reading in 2032, I’m referring to the great pandemic of 2020). However, even in the changes it all turned out perfect & beautiful! Madison and her team got the job done without missing a beat. It allowed for a stress-free wedding for my husband and I as we celebrated with family and friends both near and far. The Southern Sparkle Team is the best! I’ll recommend them to anyone and everyone planning a wedding!

    Madison McGhee- Southern Sparkle wedding planner

    I would highly recommend hiring Madison McGhee with Southern Sparkle as your wedding planner. Madison made my daughter's wedding day go so smoothly. I had never hired a planner in the past and now I see that I should have! I was able to spend time enjoying the day instead of worrying with the details of running around trying to set things up, etc. It was worth every penny I spent to have her expertise. She gave us advice and suggestions during our meetings which were really helpful and appreciated. If I ever had a question, I knew Madison could answer it or give me her opinion. Madison was so friendly and she goes above and beyond what she is hired to do. She wants the day to be special for her clients because she truly cares for them. It was easy to see this throughout the process of working with her. Madison and her staff are so professional. She knew most of our vendors because she has worked with them many times in the past. She coordinated the schedule for the wedding day for all the wedding party as well as all the vendors. She verified with the various vendors of when they were coming to the venue and coordinated all the last minute time changes of the various vendors. I did not have to worry with any of those details! She was always available and easy to find on the big day! She was THE BEST and I would ask for her by name when hiring Southern Sparkle! She made sure nobody bothered the bride on her day for anything that they needed. She was there for anything the bridal party/vendors needed. She made my daughter's wedding day wonderful and this mom is forever grateful to her and her staff that I was able to enjoy the day instead of stressing over all the details! Call her today... you will not regret it!

    The BEST Wedding Planning Experience

    I give my experience with Southern Sparkle 5 stars! Alexandria and her team were amazing helping our wedding dreams come to reality. Over the course of planning our day, Alexandria came to our venue multiple times for walk throughs and helped us brainstorm ideas. She was organized and took so many notes to keep everyone on the same page. Not only did she determine how we needed to organize the chairs for the ceremony, but also managed to fit seating for all of our guests in our reception space utilizing digital floor plans with actual measurements and kept them updated as our guest numbers changed! She was flexible and helped us get everyone in line when we needed to change our dates due to COVID travel restrictions. Not only did the team adjust to make our day possible, they coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure they were available too. Alexandria made the day of wedding timeline and made sure everyone had access to the information, including vendors, members of the wedding party and family. The rehearsal ran smoothly and everyone knew their place thanks to Alexandria’s direction. When looking to hire a wedding planner, I thought I just needed someone to keep us on track the day of our wedding. After my first meeting with Alexandria, I realized she could help so much more! I thought I had a handle on organizing and planning for our different vendors, but I quickly realized there was so much more planning to be done, and it needed someone with wedding experience to bring it all to life! From table decorations and lighting candles to setting up chairs and tables and making sure I was hidden in the trees as the ceremony started, the Southern Sparkle team went above and beyond. Communication was clear throughout our wedding day and information could be shared online which was really handy! I could not ask for a better experience with Alexandria and the rest of the Southern Sparkle team. I highly recommend their services for making your wedding experience be the fairy tale you have always dreamed of.

    The very best!

    The Southern Sparkle team is the absolute best! I highly recommend their services as they are professional, client-centered, and such a pleasure to work with. Even when obstacles arose, they made sure our wedding day was perfect. Krisy treats her clients like queens, and it is very evident she takes a lot of pride in her work! Krisy and her team exceeded all of our expectations, and we are so grateful for all their dedication and hard work.

    15/10 Recommend!!

    When I started my search for wedding planners, there was not one that came more highly recommended than Southern Sparkle. It was a no-brainer for me based on others' reviews before I even met my planner. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Alexandria Chaney. After our first meeting discussing wants and expectations, I knew there could not possibly be a better fit. From the beginning, she was on top of it. Her communication with me early on was such a relief, but also kept me accountable for staying on top of details that I needed to iron out. In the midst of the planning, a curve ball was thrown with the pandemic. It was questionable as to whether the actual ceremony would be taking place. All the while, Alexandria kept me updated with realistic expectations, as well as continuing to plan as if it would take place. Fortunately, we were able to proceed with our original plan, and with the help of Alexandria and Southern Sparkle, the day could not have been more perfect.
    One of my biggest desires when searching for a planner, was someone who would take care of things without my family and myself having to stress over minor details the day before and day of the wedding. Southern Sparkle exceeded that expectation for sure! Alexandria was always 5 steps ahead of me. That alone took all the stress off of me, and I'm incredible grateful for that. Since the day I signed on to work with Southern Sparkle, I have told every bride-to-be I've met how much of a life-saver they've been and how I recommend them to the highest degree! If I had to do it all over again, I would 1000% go with Southern Sparkle again!

    Hanna and RE McDonald Wedding

    Krisy was an excellent resource for my daughter Hanna's wedding. We both have busy careers and needed to be able to have the confidence and ease of navigating the wedding details. Even through Covid and all the uncertainty, she was there to help us every step of the way. She and her team were always professional, available, and willing to answer any questions and make suggestions as needed, especially for all the things that go down to the wire. Every suggestion she made was spot on. We also had a wonderful crew of friends and family that worked tirelessly to make Hanna's and RE's day blessed and so special. I would recommend Krisy and her team, as they are experts in their field and a pleasure to work with!.

    Excellent Wedding Planner in Southern Sparkle!

    We worked with Krisy Thomas at Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning for my daughter's wedding and reception. I had observed Krisy at other weddings I had attended and knew she would be one of my first calls when my daughter became engaged. From our first meeting, I was impressed by her professionalism, preparedness, kindness and genuine love of wedding event planning. Throughout our year-long process, Krisy was available to answer questions, guide us in the right direction and make recommendations. Our wedding was one of many affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. When we made the difficult decision to move from a large buffet reception with a band to a smaller seated dinner, Krisy jumped in to help us rearrange rentals, entertainment, and other details. On the wedding day itself, I didn't want to worry about anything and I did not! When I walked into the reception room early that day, it was all set and ready for our guests. The intricate process of first looks, gifts, notes, personal belongings were all handled with care. The ceremony, with a large wedding party, was flawless. And the reception was perfect. I was able to enjoy my family and guests and not worry about a thing. Krisy and her team are really the best. I have and will continue to recommend to any of my friends!

    Thank you Krisy & the Southern Sparkle Team!

    Thank you so much to Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle! You all helped take our wedding day and experience to the next level! One of the first vendors I reached out to when getting engaged was Krisy and her team - we knew we wanted and needed the attention to detail and structure that Krisy brings to the table in making sure everything has been thought of, planned out, and ready to go for the big day! Krisy is responsive, professional, committed, detail-oriented, and kind. She just has that special touch for what she does - helping plan, create, and execute beautiful weddings! Thank you Krisy and team for helping make our wedding weekend so very special - through all of the COVID craziness and bringing her sweet son into the world, she never missed a beat and we are so grateful to have had her be a part of this process!

    THANK YOU! - Hanna & RE McDonald

    10/10 would do it all again!

    Madison was a complete gem! She was responsive, kind, patient, funny, knowledgeable, and by wedding-week, she'd wrangled the entire thing into a comprehensive-yet-manageable schedule of events. I trusted her completely to turn what had been a scatterplot of vendors and ideas into a seamless celebration. My partner and I were free to just enjoy the day, entirely because Madison HANDLED all of it. I can't say enough good things about her!

    We absolutely loved Madison! She was positive, knew everything we didn’t (which was a lot!!) and ended up being my friend! I’m so thankful for her in every way! We would have gone crazy without her!

    Our elegant The Legend of Zelda Wedding came true thanks to Southern Sparkle

    I can pretty much say that we wouldn’t have been able to execute our dream wedding without the help of Krisy and the rest of her crew; they’re very courteous, professional and they truly pay attention to every single little detail.

    I also must add, Krisy really listened to everything we needed to say. My husband and I wanted to have an elegant The Legend of Zelda theme wedding (based on the Nintendo game by the same name); and, even though she didn’t have much knowledge of the game, she truly brought to life our vision, exactly as we pictured it in our minds.

    If you want to have a beautiful stress-free wedding, then do yourself a favor and invest your money on Southern Sparkle, because I guarantee you that they’ll be able to guide you through this mind-wrecking planning process and they’ll make sure to keep you on top of everything that needs to be done.

    Amazing is an understatement!

    I honestly don’t even know where it begin. First of all, Krisy is the most organized person I’ve ever met. Which, you have to be in the wedding planning business. I have been to, and been in, a ton of weddings so I have witnessed some that were extremely unorganized. I knew booking a planner would be at the top of my list. I booked Krisy early on in my wedding planning. Probably a good year and a half before. And even though I only booked her for month-before services, she was there any time I had a question and responded very quickly. Even when I went through a lull of planning with not much going on, I got monthly emails from her checking in and making sure I didn’t have any concerns. I thought that was so great. My husband was deployed during the majority of the planning and I was able to knock out the majority of my wedding vendors off of Krisy’s preferred vendor list. I knew if she had worked with them before then they would be perfect for our day. And they were!! I can’t praise her mom, Jennifer’s, wedding day florals enough! I have received so many compliments on the florals from our wedding day!!
    From coordinating our vendors the week before our wedding, to rehearsal night, to the very last second of our wedding day, Krisy had everything organized, planned, and under control. If anything went wrong, then I still don’t know about it. As cliche as it is, it was literally the most PERFECT day and it wouldn’t have been possible without Krisy and her team. You will not go wrong with booking a wedding planner. But if you want the best wedding planning team, then Southern Sparkle is it. No question. Thank you for everything, Krisy!

    Had a wonderful experience with the team at Southern Sparkle!

    Krisy and her team are the BEST when it comes to planning and most importantly when it comes to all of your wedding day needs! They do a great job of getting to know you and your vision as the bride and groom and really get to know you via multiple meetings and endless emails and takes your vision and makes it happen! It’s your wedding day and stress free is the way to go!! Highly recommend Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle to make all of your wedding dreams come true- couldn’t have done it without her!!!

    If you're looking for the best then Southern Sparkle is it!

    I work in the wedding industry so I've seen a lot of great wedding planners, but when I met Krisy I knew she was the best. After seeing how she worked a wedding, I told her on the spot that I wanted her as my wedding planner!
    We had a big wedding on my parent's farm so we needed to plan every single detail. I gave Krisy so many little details for the wedding day and not one went missed. Everything was perfect! From the planning process, to the wedding it was amazing! I knew on the wedding day that I had nothing to worry about. We couldn't have done this wedding without Krisy and her team. They kept us organized and helped us think of details we would never even consider. I couldn't be happier that I chose Southern Sparkle!

    Krisy and her team made my rainy day wedding perfect! Right down to turning the ceremony site to outside when the rain cleared, just 30 minutes before the guests arrived. Could not have had a better wedding planner!

    Madison is amazinggggg!

    Madison did such an amazing job as our wedding planner! She helped every step of the way and really put my mind at ease. Every issue or problem I thought I had, she had a solution for! All while having a smile! She literally became apart of our family and there is no way we would have ever had such a beautiful, well planned out wedding without her amazing help! Thanks Madison for all that you do and for just simply being you!

    Southern Sparkle: Worth Every Penny

    In the beginning I was skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. I soon found out that this event would have been an absolute disaster. There were so many things I had not even thought of, and Madison, our amazing planner, was prepared for it all. I was nervous, right down to the day of, that things would not work out, and that there would be lags or breaks in the flow of events. Madison and her assistant handled everything perfectly, the day was a beautiful success, and I have received countless compliments on how lovely everything was and how well it was all organised. Madison really was worth every penny we paid, and she became a true friend in the process. I highly recommend Southern Sparkle for any event you're planning.

    Alexandria in Jackson is AMAZING

    Alexandria is the wonderful Southern Sparkle wedding planner that is based in Jackson. Alexandria is absolutely the BEST money we spent for our wedding. She took care of everything and made sure I was happy. She did everything she said she would do, it gave us the time and ability to see our friends and family who came in from out of town. She was super efficient and easy to work with. She was always smiling and made sure everything was in place.
    If you’re looking to have a stress-free, beautiful wedding- hire Alex. She is amazing.
    I am so, so grateful for and to her for an absolute perfect wedding.

    I was able to plan my dream wedding AND live it, soaking in every moment.

    5 stars, 10/10, two thumbs up! I was really nervous about planning my wedding, and shortly after getting engaged, Southern Sparkle was recommended to us. I knew I wanted help at the rehearsal dinner and on the day of the wedding, but once I heard that Southern Sparkle could help me find vendors, solidify all of my bookings, and organize the day of the wedding (and so much more), I could have cried. I was able to plan my dream wedding AND live it, soaking in every moment. And I owe so much of that to Southern Sparkle.The recommended vendor list I was provided was a very useful tool not only because it gave me options for caterers, DJs, florists, etc., but also because all of the vendors were equally familiar with Southern Sparkle. When I spoke to each vendor and told them I was a Sparkle bride, they said, "I love working with Southern Sparkle!" This was especially comforting to me since I was planning a wedding in one state while living in another. I knew I needed someone to take the lead at the rehearsal and the wedding ceremony. I've been in weddings where a family member or close friend made sure everyone was where they needed to be, but in those cases, I always felt like the bride was too involved in the minutia of the day, missing out on the overall experience. I also didn't want my family and bridesmaids to get swept up in the rush. It was important to me that we all be able to enjoy the day for what it was, and Southern Sparkle made that possible. Southern Sparkle took on the details, the setup, the organization, and I was able to trust, relax, and soak in each moment. I keep telling people that our wedding was perfect, and I know that was because, behind the scenes, Krisy and her team took care of us. They made sure both the ceremony and reception venues looked beautiful, that the vendors were exactly where they needed to be (and that we paid them all on time), all while also wrangling me, my bridesmaids, the groomsmen, our families, and basically any who walked through the door. They wanted our day to be special and memorable for us, and that meant the world to me.

    Madison, Krisy, and Jennifer did such a great job handling all of our ideas and making them come to life. I am very indecisive, but Southern Sparkle made all my visions come together. I can’t thank them enough for all the time and effort that they put into our big day!

    Southern Sparkle Wedding Planning is the best!!

    Krisy Thomas and her team were wonderful to work with from day one! I am so grateful for all of the effort that Krisy put into the months and months of planning for our wedding. I could not imagine having a wedding without a wedding planner. To me Krisy was more than just a wedding planner. She made me feel so important and made my dreams for my wedding come true! Krisy made the whole process so easy and stress free. I would 100% recommended Krisy for anyone’s big day. To me it was important to have a planner so that our families could relax and enjoy our wedding instead of having to do everything themselves. My advice to any Bride is spend the extra money on a wedding planner! Krisy took care of everything! When I first met with Krisy, I did not realize how involved and how helpful her and her team would truly be. They set up the entire ceremony and reception and tore it down at the end of the night. They kept us on track throughout the whole day. They handled everything for us and we were able to literally sit back and watch it all unfold. I could not have imagined our day to be more perfect! Thank you so much to the Southern Sparkle Team! We are so grateful for you guys and for all you did for us!

    Southern Sparkle won't disappoint!

    I was one of those brides that thought "Oh, I don't need a wedding planner. I can do it myself." I quickly learned from other friends getting married that I needed a planner. While brides were barking orders during the rehearsal to planners running around like a crazy person trying to get things done, I knew I needed someone good that wouldn't make me stressed on my wedding day. I started researching for wedding planners in my area and came across Southern Sparkle. Everyone raved over how amazing Krisy was, so I started chatting with Krisy right away. Once we set down for our first meeting, I knew I had to have Krisy. Krisy made our planning so much easier because she knew what she was doing and you could tell she loved doing it. I was nervous during the planning process because it literally rained on every event leading up to my wedding day. It rained on my rehearsal night, but stopped just in time for us to get a quick run through in. Krisy knew exactly what to do. If it wasn't for her planning like she does, we wouldn't have been able to practice at the ceremony spot. The wedding day was a wonderful sunny summer day. Krisy's timeline was very detailed which made it easy for everyone to follow and understand. I was able to enjoy my day with family and friends without having to worry about anything going wrong. The day went by so smooth and effortless thanks to Krisy! Now I have my own experience to rave about! The Southern Sparkle team won't disappoint!

    Absolutely amazing

    Krisy Thomas, there is seriously not enough good words to describe you and your team. After Dylan and I got engaged the hunt for a wedding planner began. I actually met Krisy through a old pageant friend Alex Chaney that works for her. Choosing Southern Sparkle was the best choice I could’ve made for our big day. We started planning mind and Dylan’s bud day about a year and a half before the wedding, and I’m so glad we did. Sadly my grandmother was taken from us just an hour before our rehearsal dinner started. With all of the emotions that my family was going through at the time, there was simply no way we could’ve carried on with everything like we wanted to originally. But thankfully Krisy saved the night and let us know everything would be perfect and of course just like she assured us the rehearsal dinner and wedding went off without a glitch. I can’t say it enough how grateful I am for her not only during the entire planning process but, when my family needed her the most she was there and, ready to do whatever she could to help. If you want your day as a bride to be stress free, an amazing experience, and your family (especially your mom) to enjoy your big day, then Southern Sparkle is the best decision you’ll make! Krisy, Alex and the whole team you girls have a huge place in my heart. I could never say thank you enough for what you did for Dylan and I on our wedding day and for my family during a very hard time. Love you girls so much!

    100% Recommend!

    Where do I even begin? Hiring Krisy and her team for our month-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made! I was looking for someone to help make our big day stress free and run smoothly, and she did exactly that! Krisy was a great resource when it came to all of our last minute questions, putting together a detailed timeline, setting up and taking down our decorations, and SO much more... not to mention she is the sweetest person you will ever meet! I 100% recommend Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning!

    Nothing to worry about

    I knew right away that we needed to hire a wedding planner as soon as we got engaged because our families have had little to no experience with weddings, and my mom and I get very busy with our jobs and knew we wouldn’t be able to commit the time to planning ALL the details (not did we want to). I knew a friend that also had recently gotten engaged, and they recommended Madison McGhee with Southern Sparkle Weddings.

    My mom and I booked a consultation with Madison, and she asked us some questions and got to know us and explained all the reasons why having a wedding planner is the best decision we could make and why should hire Southern Sparkle over anyone else. She just seemed to be on top of everything, so we booked her right away.

    She coordinated all the planning prior to the wedding - calling/setting up appointments, confirmations, reminding me to do things, and (my favorite) setting up and mailing all the invitations as well as keeping track of the RSVPs. We did have a budget, but it was our choice to go over budget (which she warned us we would do with certain decisions).

    Most importantly, I think Madison’s true value came into play the day of the wedding. I would NOT have been able to coordinate with everyone and be everywhere at once all while I was getting ready, and that’s what Madison and her team did. They had detailed floor plans provided to us and the venue, so I was able to envision everything. She also provided a color-coded timeline to all the wedding party as well as vendors for the entire day of the wedding (down to the minute), so we knew exactly where to be and when. No wedding day is perfect, but she was prepared for everything that didn’t exactly go as planned, so I didn’t have to worry over anything. They also helped with the take-down/clean up after the reception, which was a life-saver for my parents.

    Bottom line - we loved working with Madison, and we wouldn’t have been able to this without her help and guidance.

    Wedding Day Rockstar!

    I will say this a million times over and over again that Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning was the best decision we ever made about our big day!!

    When I started to think about our special day and all the details, I honestly never thought about a wedding planner. I thought that I could do it all with some help from family and friends. Yet, I did not realize all that goes into planning a wedding and I quickly became overwhelmed. My word, am I glad Krisy and her amazing team was recommended to us!

    From the beginning we were beyond impressed with the professionalism, organization, consistency, and kindness that Krisy showed us. I was all over the place with the decision making process and honestly did not know where to start. I began to receive emails from Krisy on things I should be thinking about with recommendations, suggestions, and tips. It was like she knew what I needed and it was beyond helpful!

    Being able to truly enjoy your day with your family and friends knowing that EVERYTHING will be taken care of is what every bride deserves! Just to name a few of the wonderful things they did for us, Krisy and her amazing team took care of final payments, the small details, making sure vendors arrived on time, setting up, and making sure we stayed on schedule. Stuart and I cannot thank Krisy and her team enough! If you haven’t considered a wedding planner before, you absolutely should and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning will go above and beyond to make sure your day is more than you ever imagined! I promise you won’t regret it!

    With so much love and more: The Dedmons

    What an incredible day..

    Words can’t describe how thankful Jonathan, myself and my family were for Krisy during the entire wedding planning process. When we got engaged, we were on a cruise ship..in the middle of the ocean with no cell service... engaged on a Tuesday and by Wednesday we were in a port where I could call out! As soon as our families knew, my next step was reaching out to Krisy! I’ve been planning my wedding in my head since i was a little girl & I knew if one person could make that dream a reality; it was Krisy! I’ve basically stalked her for 5 years because I knew she was a non negotiable😉 We decided on our big day according to her availability and that was the best decision we made! From the get go, I told Krisy I wanted my parents and Jonathan to enjoy the day by being stress free and having nothing to do! Talk about stress free...we didn’t lift a finger the whole day! Before I could ask a question or find Krisy; it was already done! Southern Sparkle was the glue that held us together on the biggest day of our lives! From the year and few months we planned the wedding, until the last song played; we thoroughly enjoyed the process and were able to take it all in and soak in the precious memories we were making. If my mom and I said it once during the planning, we said it a million times...we could NOT have done this without Krisy and her team. We not only planned a wedding, but found the most genuine, glitter and pink loving, champagne poppin’, sweetest soul there is. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day spectacular in every way!❤️

    You NEED Krisy and the Southern Sparkle Team

    Best money spent in the entire wedding process was hiring Krisy and her team. I was able to enjoy my wedding day with my parents, my bridesmaids, and ultimately my husband. We decided to use a wedding planner early into our engagement and that really helped with budgets and staying organized! We chose to get married in a city that we did not live in and again, Krisy was a lifesaver in making sure we had all we needed to plan a wedding that remained organized. My newly retired mother's favorite part was not having to stuff invitations, address, or keep up with RSVPs. I have attended many weddings, but as a guest you really have no idea what all goes into all the details of the wedding and reception. Lots of my emails to Krisy began with, "so this is my first wedding", you want a professional who has planned hundreds of weddings to guide you and offer expert advice. I entrusted this team with my reception space and they completely exceeded the expectation. I cannot say enough positive things about the Southern Sparkle team.

    Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning

    Madison and the team at Southern Sparkle were just PERFECT! They took care of everything they said they would and more! Madison was the breath of fresh air we needed on our wedding day. She was there when needed and truly helped us enjoy the entire day.

    Mother of the bride

    Southern Sparkle Weddings knocked it out of the park! From our 1st inquiry, Madison was so prepared and professional, returning emails and calls promptly and patiently answering our endless questions. We wanted someone to handle all the details during the wedding weekend—Madison did that, and more!! Throughout the whole process we knew Madison truly cared about our family, making sure the day was as special as we had dreamed. I would highly recommend Southern Sparkle Weddings to any Mother of the bride!!!

    Best (and easiest) decision we made!

    Madison was AMAZING! From answering texts, calls, and emails promptly to scrubbing the mud off the dance floor on her hands and knees the morning of our wedding & everything in between, she was absolutely the ultimate key to our day going so perfectly. My mom and I are both huge planners but knew from the beginning processes of wedding planning that we wanted to hire a planner for the wedding weekend. Madison was the perfect fit for everything we needed and felt like a life-long friend from the start. She took all my many ideas, wants, and needs and brought them to life with helpful suggestions and tips along the way. I cannot say enough great things about her to even do the service her and her team provided justice. No clue what we would have done without her and glad I never have to find out :)

    Sparkle brides are the happiest brides!

    Oh my goodness, I could write a novel on my love and appreciation for Southern Sparkle Planning! I first met Krisy when she was planning my sisters New Years Eve wedding...that people are still talking about as one for the books might I add! I was totally hooked after seeing how organized Krisy was, how she paid such close attention to details, and how she made her brides feel like her top priority (not just on wedding day either but through the whole planning process). I was one of those brides who took a huge chance by booking Southern Sparkle prior to my engagement and I chose my date based on their availability but there was no way I was planning a wedding without Krisy and her team. I am such a worrier/stressor/perfectionist which can be a burden especially when planning something as big as a 300+ guest wedding. I had a vision for my special day but that vision had been muddled down by too many Pinterest boards and too many ideas from the hundreds of weddings I attended in the last 10 years. Krisy was just so amazing at pulling my true vision out of all of that chaos. She never let me down when I would send her random ideas at all hours of the day including those few days right before the wedding! Her email responses were always so quick, always fully answered, and always exactly what I needed! Some of my main focuses for my wedding were for my guests to enjoy themselves and for the decor to be a modern romantic like theme and easily flow together from ceremony to reception. Both ceremony and reception were absolutely the most gorgeous I have ever seen! She pulled together gold, burgundy and marble and just made me speechless! I can't wait to share photos. Krisy also made sure my vendors were well prepared, on time, and had what they needed without even much inout from me which made me super happy (less stress on a bride). Southern Sparkle also works well with last minute changes that may occur and they don't let those things ruin the atmosphere of a great wedding day (like super cold weather keeping you from doing some things outside!). My utmost important focus for my wedding day was for me and my husband to have the happiest, most carefree day. I told Krisy from the beginning my husband enjoying the day was huge for me! I can honestly say that he and I had the best day of our lives!! I didnt worry one second over anything that day (so unlike me). I owe part of that to my sweet husband, family and friends but I also owe it to Southern Sparkle for my perfect day! MAJOR praises to them! Best decision ever!!

    Exceptional Experience!

    My over all experience with Madison of Southern Sparkle Weddings was excellent on every aspect! Madison delivered more than I hoped for before and on the day of the wedding!

    I met Madison over 2 years ago when she did her first day as an intern with Southern Sparkle. She was still in college and had experience in the event industry. Madison’s work ethic that day was not like your average college student. She was professional, eager, proactive, and was willing to do anything asked of her!! This was a true blessing!

    Madison was all those things and more for my daughters wedding!! She answered emails and phone calls promptly during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Madison made sure all the items we brought for decor were exactly as we wanted them. We didn’t need to bother with this (or any other detail) but were able to enjoy the day. At the end of the night, she and her team were still there helping. Madison continues to be a blessing to our family!!

    One thing that stood out about Madison and her team that day was the kindness and respect they exhibited toward each other, vendors and guest. This (along with professionalism) was one of the most important things we wanted from our vendors and I knew from experience that Madison would deliver! She went above and beyond to make the day fun, exciting and stress free! It would not have been that way if it were not for Madison and her exceptional team! We are eternally grateful!!!

    They did it again!

    Krisy and her team did it again! I used Southern Sparkle two years ago for my wedding and everything was so perfect! My sister got married and of course, we couldn't do it without this amazing team! We even used them for flowers too! Everything was absolutely breathtaking! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Krisy was on top of everything from the start! If you want your best day to be THE BEST DAY, Southern Sparkle is it!!!

    Working with Madison was the best thing!!! EVERYONE NEEDS her at their wedding! She made everything go so smoothly, calmed my nerves & all her decorating was FLAWLESS! She was quick to respond with any issue, gave her opinion when I didn’t know what to do with something, gave wonderful ideas, made sure I stayed on top of everything. I was finishing up nursing school while planning my wedding & Madison made it a breeze! I am so thankful for her & everything she did! We had such an amazing time & Southern Sparkle is 100% the way to go!! So much love for her & this company!

    100% best decision

    I don't even know where to start with this but I'll try and not write a book....
    WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT KRISY.
    I remember when we got engaged we originally had picked a date in November and when we found out Krisy was already booked for that date, we picked another because we knew, and our entire family knew that we had to have her! My husband's family is in the wedding business and own a wedding venue, and they knew that Krisy was the best and we had to have her for our big day.
    I have pretty bad anxiety and I get stressed easily so I was nervous about planning a wedding, but not with Krisy and her team. I never felt like I had too much on my plate because Krisy always took care of everything for me! She took care of the phone calls, emails, made my payments for me, and kept everything organized for us. She was always very responsive to emails, and even late night texts when I thought I had forgot about something! Krisy even created our DREAM TEAM OF VENDORS who the day wouldn't have been possible without. Seriously y'all we had the most incredible people making our day what it was.
    I have had people who weren't even at our wedding tell our family and friends that they heard it was the "wedding of the year" and I 100% believe that it's because of our vendors aka KRISY.

    She never stopped working that entire day, anything my parents, in-laws, or bridal party needed... she had taken care of it. Our wedding day was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen and it was like Krisy and her mom read my mind with the design, it was perfect. The florals were something I couldn't have even dreamed up! They were stunning, and we still have people calling us talking about how beautiful everything was! I truly don't think it could have been any more perfect.
    Every bride deserves to not have to worry about a thing on their wedding day, and with Krisy that is exactly what you get! Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning AND Southern Sparkle Florals went above and beyond to make our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT- and apparently the wedding of the year!!!!
    We are so lucky that we had them on our team of hardworking vendors, and now have them as friends!
    The Lewis and Abed families love you all!

    Outstanding

    The first vendors I booked was Krisy and her mom Ms. Jennifer! I actually planned my wedding day around THEM because if they were booked my sister was NOT going to allow me to have my wedding that day 😂.. My sister owns K & M Barn at Lewis Farm and she had been gushing over how awesome Krisy and her team were for months! Honestly, I was one of those girls who thought I could do it all on my own when it comes to wedding planning, but boy was I wrong in a major way. I NEEDED Krisy and her team!

    The months leading up to the wedding I had continuous reminders/emails from Krisy of deadlines and payments which kept me on track with everything. She helped me with picking different color decor to bridesmaid dresses... even my own wedding dress! A month before my wedding we had our final meeting. Krisy was asking how everything was going and I told her how I was not very happy with my wedding dress, but that there was nothing I could do this late in the game. She told me about a consignment wedding dress shop in Nashville that she thought really fitted my style and urged me to go. A few days later I booked an appointment and found the wedding dress of my DREAMS all thanks to Krisy 😘!!!!

    When the day of our wedding arrived I did not have to do anything. Krisy and her team literally decorated EVERYTHING! About an hour before the ceremony was supposed to start we had to change our plans of an outdoor ceremony to inside due to the unpredictable weather. I’m not gonna lie I was a little nervous and especially since I had no clue what it was going to look like since I was hid away in the bridal suite due to guests arriving. When I walked out and saw how absolutely GORGEOUS everything was I could NOT believe it!! It was even more beautiful than our original outdoor plan and there is no way we could have made that happen without Krisy and her team! I cannot say thank you enough for making my dream wedding a REALITY!

    Krisy’s mother, Ms. Jennifer, with Southern Sparkle Florals did all of my BEAUTIFUL floral arrangements that were literally to DIE for!! I had a vision of what I wanted my flowers to look like on my wedding day and Ms. Jennifer went above and beyond what I even imagined!! She helped me with picking different flowers that was within my budget and always responded to my emails when I had a question about something. I had mentioned in one of my meetings with her about wanting to find different decor items to use at my wedding and within a few days I had an email that she had found them for me and would be bringing them to the wedding so I could use them ❤️ She is literally the SWEETEST lady with a decorative style that is so UNIQUE and awesome! I trusted her with every idea and she completely delivered!!!

    I have had so many people compliment how beautiful our wedding day was and it literally could not have happened without Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning + Southern Sparkle Florals! They are a DREAM TEAM that every bride deserves on the biggest day of their lives!!I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Y’all are the ABSOLUTE best!!! We love you guys!!

    Best wedding decision

    I could write a novel about how much I lOVE Krisy and the entire Southern Sparkle Team, but I'll try to keep it short. Krisy was my constant support throughout the planning process and was available whenever I needed her to ask questions or bounce ideas off of. The month of the wedding, we had several major issues with vendors that could have easily ruined my day, but Krisy was able to pull everything together, find alternate vendors in short notice, and keep me calm through it all.
    The day of the wedding was nothing short of AMAZING. I was able to enjoy every second of the day from beginning to end because I knew Krisy had everything under control- from decorating, meeting and getting my vendors set up, greeting my guests as they arrived, to handling the final payments/gratuities at the end of the night. My wedding party loved her just the same and said that there is no one else they think would be able to handle my "Control Freak." They saw how organized Krisy was when she passed out the color coordinated detailed timeline at the rehearsal and they all knew she was the perfect fit as my coordinator (something I had known since the day we hired her).

    While I loved everything about Southern Sparkle, a few things that stood out to me that made working with them better than I imagined:
    1. Quick Response to emails. (or away messages so you know why she can't respond right away - that goes a long way in my book).
    2. Professional - Krisy is always professional in her emails, meetings, and when working with other vendors.
    3. Experienced - I never wondered if what she was doing was the right choice. I was able to have complete trust in her and the team and that allowed me to be fully present with my husband on our big day and not worry about the little details or things that could go wrong.
    4. We became friends - it was bittersweet after the wedding knowing that we won't be in constant communication anymore talking about my wedding. She was by far the best wedding decision we made. She is worth so much more than the money you'll pay!!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you to Krisy, Jennifer and the team of Southern Sparkle! Y'all made Emily's and Jarryd's special day amazing! Everything was perfect and the best part was that it was practically stress-free for us. I was so highly impressed by Krisy's professionalism and her attention to making sure each detail was covered. We actually had a blast the entire weekend because we didn't have to worry about a single thing. I'll be forever grateful for that! Jennifer did a fantastic job on our florals and other decor. It was beautiful and set the exact ambience that we had envisioned. You all were a blessing to us from the planning throughout the wedding weekend. So again, thank you for an absolutely wonderful wedding experience! You ladies are certainly experts at making dreams come true! Love y'all !!

    Choosing Krisy and Jennifer at Southern Sparkle as my wedding planner and florist were two of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process! After our initial consultations, we knew Southern Sparkle would be a good match for us because of their professionalism and high attention to detail. Southern Sparkle went above and beyond to make sure they understood the vision we had for our big day. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to their team!

    My sister sent me information for Southern Sparkle when I realized I needed a "day of" coordinator. After meeting with Madison, I realized that the "month of" package was actually what I needed and it was totally worth it. The knowledge and the attention to detail that Madison possessed made the process extremely easy for me. The management of the vendors was a process I couldn't have done on my own and she handled it so well. Every vendor was on time and knew exactly what was needed thanks to Madison. She was also able to wrangle our very large wedding party during rehearsal and day of, she even made a contact sheet that said "call anyone but the Bride"!!! There were things I forgot, however, Madison and her team handled it like true professionals. Even when my feet were hurting, she was there to bring me my back-up shoes....always ten steps ahead. Our day was absolutely beautiful and flawless thanks to Madison and her team and I would recommend her and Southern Sparkle to any bride looking for a stress free, worry free, perfect day!

    I cannot imagine my wedding day without Krisy and her Southern Sparkle team! I was in a wedding that Krisy previously coordinated, but I must admit that I was still a bit apprehensive because I thought I would be capable of doing everything myself. Little did I know that I was so wrong! Krisy went above and beyond to make sure that my visions came to life, yet still gave me her professional opinion when I needed it. From rental orders, floorplans, schedules, and every little forgotten detail, Krisy exceeded every expectation. My mom and I would have never had the time to relax and spend our final days together without Krisy's time and help. We often caught ourselves telling each other and many friends, "Oh, Krisy will handle that." We were absolutely right. She knows exactly what to do and when to do it. On our wedding day, I feel like I just showed up. I knew that Krisy would have everything under control. Many guests even commented about her professionalism and expertise. When I needed anything, she was there. She is a true gem and servant to her brides. Krisy is by far one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process. I have said it many times, but I would not change a single thing about our wedding, and Krisy was a huge part of it. Thank you, Southern Sparkle team, for making me feel so special! Every bride deserves an experience like mine!

    Madison from Southern Sparkle was amazing! She was great during the planning process regularly checking in to make sure we were on track and answering any questions (no matter how bizarre) that came up. She was wonderful on the wedding day. We had an unexpected thunderstorm start as soon as the ceremony was starting up, and she and her team quickly converted our indoor/outdoor setup to be a solely indoor one. She then managed to quickly rearrange the schedule to handle a few other minor unexpected hiccups that occurred. All the time she was so calm and helped me stay calm too!! I didn't even learn about some of the things that she did until my family told me afterwards because she handled it so smoothly. I absolutely recommend Madison and Southern Sparkle!

    I don’t know where to begin describing how lucky we were to have Krisy and her team for our big day. When I got engaged I knew I had to contact southern sparkle asap. I was so excited that they were available for our wedding date. I’ve known Krisy for sometime now and she took us in with open arms and was so very helpful to all of our needs from day one. One of the main reasons behind us wanting a wedding planner was to have our family actually spend time together and not have to worry about setting up. Krisy and her team went above and beyond and made sure of that and we are beyond blessed to have had her for our special day!!!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    LOVE, MR AND MRS. JACOBS

    I never imagined how much was involved in planning a wedding and I quickly became overwhelmed. I met Krisy a few months after I began planning right when I realized I would not be able to pull the wedding off on my own. She was an absolute Godsend and went above and beyond my expectations. What stood out the most to me about Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning was how quickly she responded to my emails and how she always welcomed any and all questions I had. She answered the countless emails I sent where I asked an unthinkable amount of frantic questions. As soon as I began worrying about something or thought of a question at midnight I would email her and she would get back to me by the next morning.

    When looking for a wedding coordinator, one of the things I was looking for in a wedding planner was someone I had access to throughout the entire process. I also wanted someone that would be able to direct the wedding party on the day of the wedding to make sure they were where they were supposed to be. Another crucial thing I wanted was someone who would create a timeline for not only the bridal party but the vendors as well. She exceeded all my expectations with all of this. Krisy made the entire timeline around the photographer and somehow made everything else that I wanted fit into the timeline.

    Krisy truly has a gift at what she does. When I met Krisy, she told me her goal for every wedding was to make sure the bride thinks it was the most perfect day. She exceeded that goal for my wedding. I never knew if a single flower petal was out of place. I cannot say enough good things about Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning. I highly recommend using Krisy as a wedding planner/coordinator, it was the best decision I made for my wedding. She will make your dreams come true and she will do it flawlessly.

    Let me just start with, KRISY AND HER TEAM ARE AMAZING! My husband and I had a situation where we had a wedding planner bail on us, three months before our wedding and Krisy MADE herself available for us!!! She was totally booked for the year but made an exception for us because of our awful situation! So that right there told me that she was going to be AMAZING to work with. I’m a very organized person and I’m extremely particular. So I understand that working with someone with those traits is not always easy, but Krisy made it so easy!!! I told her what I wanted and she delivered! She helped setup, decorate, organize, wipe my tears, cool me off from the heat, bring me water, bring me food, bring me drinks, cleaned up, and took everything down and packed everything up for us!!! So when I tell you she did everything, I mean she did EVERYTHING!!!! Krisy was just amazing! Simply AMAZING!!! Her sweet and genuine personality made things so easy, too. I didn’t want to sound like a bridezilla so I would say something to her, like for example, I didn’t want the bridal party talking loud when waiting in the reception hall for them to walkout to the ceremony, and Krisy said “don’t worry, I will tell them for you!” Just things like that. I went to her for literally everything, and she just made it happen! With no hesitation, too! It was like she had a magic wand and everything just worked out perfectly when she did it!! So ladies, you will not be disappointed when booking Southern Sparkle Weddings!!! I PROMISE YOU!! Trust me!! Krisy took a bride that was in distress three months prior to her wedding and made her wedding a dream come true!! If my husband and I had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t mind one bit because of how easy Krisy made everything!!! We love you Krisy and Southern Sparkle Weddings team!!!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning. Krisy and her team did an outstanding job. The professionalism she and her team displayed during the wedding and rehearsal dinner was unbelievable since there were 12 bridesmaid and groomsmen to keep track of, and on time. Krisy kept every detail on track through-out the rehearsal dinner and wedding, even with rain the day of the wedding because the bride was insistent on an outdoor wedding. Krisy attended to every detail in an unbelievable calm manner (this girl has nerves of steel), she was the most pleasant person to work with and kept all the drama and chaos of all those girls and guys away from the family so we all enjoyed the wedding. This was the most important aspect of hiring a wedding planner for me because my niece had originally asked me to help with the planning. Southern Sparkle far exceeded any expectations I had, I never realized all the work they do to keep the stress from the family, so you just enjoy every moment of the wedding. Krisy responded very quickly to any request the bride or groom had. The caterer had charged a larger amount than what was originally quoted, the bride called Krisy and Krisy immediately put her at ease and said "I'll take care of it", and it was taken care of. Southern Sparkle will guide you thru every process of the wedding, not just the wedding day. They give you a timeline for obtaining the dress, bridesmaid dresses, tuxes, when to order the cake, venue, caterer etc., Southern Sparkle is very detailed and is in tune with every aspect of what needs to be done in a timely manner. Krisy is truly AMAZING! You feel as though you make a friend for life with Krisy and her team. I would highly recommend anyone even considering a wedding planner to use Southern Sparkle! You will not regret that decision and it is money very well spent, even my husband said, " Krisy is one amazingly talented young lady"!

    Southern Sparkle wedding and event planning was everything I needed and more on my wedding day. Everything throughout the busy day was organized and ran smoothly with the help of their wonderful employees. I searched for a wedding planner that helped me and my family members to stay organized and at ease so that we could enjoy the happiest day and that's exactly what I found! We are so thankful that we chose Southern Sparkle! I would absolutely recommend to any new bride!

    Krisy with Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning is AMAZING! We are so happy that we reached out to her to help with the final touches to our wedding. She really took the stress out of the months leading up to the big day! Krisy and her team are knowledgeable, professional, and organized. Southern Sparkle coordinated with our other vendors to make sure the day went flawlessly. Krisy also put us in touch with her mother, Ms. Jennifer Parker for our floral arrangements. They were absolutely stunning and one of my favorite details of the wedding. The Southern Sparkle team went above and beyond to make sure that we had the most perfect day. As the bride, I was relaxed and confident that Krisy could handle anything that was thrown at her that day. My vendors commented that our wedding went so smoothly compared to other weddings they have worked. We could not be more thankful for the services that Krisy and her team provided. Thank you so much for making our day Magical! - Love, Ansley and Tyler Howard

    Where do I even start... Madison was absolutely AMAZING. There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic she was and how amazing she made our day! She was BEYOND helpful not just the month before, but throughout our engagement! She made everything so so easy. All of my bridesmaids kept commenting on how calm I was all day and I owe it all to Madison and her team! They made the day enjoyable instead of me worrying about everything! I literally had NO WORRIES! It was a breeze and so fun! They took care of everything I expected and even more. I don’t think it’s possible to have a better experience than we had with them! Both of our families and the entire bridal party couldn’t believe how smooth and easy that they made the entire day. I would recommend everyone I know to use Madison. Her and her team were not just extremely helpful, but they were also so sweet, which just made it better. I never felt like I was bothering them, they were the best team! I can’t imagine what the day would’ve been like without them, but I can tell you that there’s no one else I would want than them! There was no detail unplanned and we love Madison so much!

    Prior to hiring them, I had the opportunity to see Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle in action as a bridesmaid in two weddings, each with completely different styles, seasons, and venues. When they expanded their coverage to Memphis, I was ecstatic! My fiancee and I chose a non-traditional location for our ceremony and reception, so hiring a coordinator was one of my top priorities. I am extremely organized but had visions for the day that required many more hands than my own to carry out. That's where Madison McGhee stepped in! In addition to going out of her way and regular business hours to accommodate my 60 80-hour hospital work week for our meetings, she coordinated vendor consults, funneled communications and details into summary documents for me, and reminded me of all necessary timelines. I cannot say enough praise for her warm personality, her professionalism with both my family and my vendors, her attention to detail, and her adaptation skills.
    The weekend of our wedding was also the weekend of the worst ice and snow West TN has seen in years. Our guest list dramatically changed, deliveries to the venue were delayed, and the rehearsal was canceled due to inclement weather. Immediately preceding our rehearsal dinner, my hair and makeup artists canceled because the roads were no longer navigable. Even Krisy was unable to come for the wedding day, as she was snowed in. Madison worked her magic and within fifteen minutes had found two of the best hair/makeup artists in Memphis! She even called in her sister-in-law for backup, dug her own jeep out of a snow bank (literally) and showed up morning of, ready to go. Our day turned out to be a dream, despite all potential setbacks! It unfolded more beautifully than I could have ever hoped for, and a large part of that is owed to the efforts of Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning. You can have a back-up plan for your back-up plan, and when even THAT falls through - call Madison.

    Words can not describe how thankful Josh and I are that we booked Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning to help plan our wedding! Talk about being stress free, Krisy answered EVERY question I had very quickly and was so organized it made planning almost effortless. Krisy provides you with a preferred vendor list and I used this list to book every single one of my vendors and we literally had all of the all-star vendors at our wedding! Everything was timed out the day of to the minutes which led no one to ask any questions because everyone already knew. Krisy stayed in touch with me every single month to check in, we had a couple of face to face meetings, and the week of the wedding I was able to call and/or text her if I needed anything! She is so thoughtful, kind, and professional. My family and wedding party were all blown away by everything Krisy did. My mom was able to be with me the whole day of the wedding, and was able to enjoy the day as much as Josh and I did which is something that was so special to me! Her team even cleans up after the wedding is over with! I can not stress enough how much Krisy has got to be apart of your wedding experience!! If you are on the fence take a leap of faith and you will NOT be disappointed. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you Krisy again for everything!!!

    It was clear from the first moment we met that Krisy is a class act. She is gracious, kind and a complete professional. We chose a custom package. It was the month of coordination with a design element add on. We told her that we were two old souls wanting a wedding that was uniquely “us”. We wanted a vintage 1920's/ 1930's inspired feel to our wedding. We had some very specific ideas and features that we wanted to incorporate. Krisy embraced our ideas completely! We put our vision into her hands with complete confidence that she would make it a reality. She did that and so much more!
    One of my absolute favorite elements of our wedding was the florals. Not long after we met, Krisy put us in touch with her Mother, Ms. Jennifer of Southern Sparkle Florals. We absolutely adored her. Her passion and excitement for the design and look we wanted to achieve completely won us over! Going with Southern Sparkle Florals was by far one of the best decisions we made. Ms. Jennifer is an artist! My cascading bouquet was absolutely regal. The smaller version she made for my little girl looked like something out of a fairy tale! She brought that old world vintage feel to life through her flower choice and design. Everything was exquisite, from the table tops, to the swags on the drapery to the sprays that draped over the banisters and cascaded down the stairs. I cant gush enough!
    I chose to go with a wedding planner because I wanted to have the opportunity to truly experience my wedding day. That is exactly what I did. On my wedding day morning all I had to do was show up. Krisy and the Southern SparkleTeam handled everything. I arrived at the venue bright and early. I fixed a mimosa and strolled over to the bridal suite for hair and make up completely at peace. There was no stress for me at all that morning. I was able to simply drink in the beauty of the day and truly relish my moment. Krisy coordinated everything seamlessly. Thank you for everything-Jessica V

    I highly recommend Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning to any bride as an absolute Must-Have!! Krisy was absolutely wonderful to work with thru the whole planning process for our November 11, 2017, wedding. She took our vision of what we wanted and brought it to life for us that resulted in what we both describe as the PERFECT wedding day! Krisy was always so calm, timely with all of her communication and responses to us, and truly took away the stress from me, my fiancé, and our families during our wedding weekend! This allowed us to soak up every second of the day as well as to get quality time with our families, wedding party, and guests while not worrying about things because we knew Krisy and her team had it under control. Krisy handled so many things from our detailed timeline and working with our awesome vendor team to coordinate every last detail. It was easy to trust Krisy and be able to enjoy every second of our wedding. They went above and beyond in so many ways including having snacks for us while they bustled my dress before entering the reception, helping me switch shoes, and getting all the cake off my face that my new husband smashed from cutting the cake. It was wonderful to be completely calm as the Bride on her wedding day and stress was nowhere near how you could describe me, my now husband, or our families thanks to Krisy and her team! The day was perfect and magical and we know that is due to Krisy and Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning! Thank you Krisy!!!!

    Krisy Thomas and the Southern Sparkle team was one of the best investments in our wedding experience. She communicated with all of our vendors and created a wedding day timeline so that we could relax and enjoy our day. The Southern Sparkle team did an incredible job of catching my vision for our day and making the venue space stunningly beautiful. With dreams of an outdoor wedding and some wedding day rain, Krisy smoothly and efficiently moved our event indoors and the whole thing went seamlessly. Krisy was quick in communication and professional in her interactions with us, our vendors, our guests, and our wedding party. Not only that, she was a pro at bustling the most intense wedding train bustle you've ever seen! Krisy and her team are amazing and so worth the investment! She was a huge part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

    Our experience with Southern Sparkle Wedding and Event Planning exceeded my expectations. My daughter and I felt that Krisy and Jennifer listened to us and and helped us implement our vision. They helped in ways we didn't even realize we needed help!!! Everything was handled in a professional and personal way. It is well worth the investment. Colored coded schedules are developed, hauling of furniture around the room, decorating, pinning up dress malfunctions, watching a baby while the wife of one of the wedding party can park her car and when the weather does not cooperate an outdoor venue becomes an indoor venue with very little drama. Plan B became Plan A and it was beautiful. Her staff is very personable, you don't feel like just another wedding in a long line of weddings.
    Thank you Southern Sparkle Wedding and Southern Sparkle Floral. jYou worried about the details of the day while we soaked up the wedding experience. You are the best. Diane Deschenes.

    Krisy and her team are truly the best around! I would not have survived my wedding day without her! I have to say of all of my wedding planning decisions, having Krisy there to coordinate was the best decision I made! I felt as if I had a best friend by my side through the whole planning process. She checked in with me every month, she had all of my paperwork neatly together in a binder with all of my contracts and vendor information, and if anyone had a question, Krisy had the answer! As a bride I can't tell you enough how great it feels to know that things are being taken care of by someone that truly cares that your wedding day is perfect! If you are looking for a planner, Krisy with Southern Sparkle is the way to go.... without a doubt you will have the most professional, well-organized planner in West Tennessee! Not to mention how kind and easy going she is, she made the whole wedding process run smoothly . KRISY-THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY SPECIAL DAY THE BEST DAY EVER!
