    We couldn't be happier

    Sabrina had her work cut out for her with a bride and groom that really didn't want to do a lot of planning for their wedding. Not only did she keep us on track (which can be like herding cats), answer any and all of our questions, get a large number of quotes for us, and more, but she coordinated the rehearsal and wedding day flawlessly.

    The last thing we wanted to do was be stressed during our wedding day and Sabrina delivered. Everything was seamless because of her and she even fixed a couple of small last minute hiccups that none of us anticipated. To say that we were happy that we chose her is an understatement.

    I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She worked so hard to make our day perfect and it was everything we wanted it to be. Thank you so much, Sabrina!

    Great company to work with!

    Southern Sweethearts was so easy to work with. They were prompt and their chairs were all in great shape and finished off the look of our rehearsal dinner. I highly recommend them!
    Thank you!

    Amazing coordinator

    I reached out to Sabrina early January 2023 to inquire about her coordinating services and I quickly booked with her shortly after. She offers a variety of services and packages at a reasonable price. The experience I had throughout the planning process with Sabrina was amazing. Planning a wedding comes with lots of questions and Sabrina answered each one and was able to guide me with grace and professionalism. Sabrina handled everything and anything the week up to my wedding, contacting vendors, making our timeline, speaking to the venue, recommending things that she noticed that would make our wedding day better and or smoother. The day of our wedding is when Sabrina really shined! She arrived on time, kept me in the loop of when vendors arrived and how the process of setup was going. When it came time for the ceremony, Sabrina kept my wild bridal party in line as well as making sure everything else behind the scenes at that moment was flawless. During the reception there were tiny bumps in the road but Sabrina was there to make sure we had everything we needed and smooth those bumps out. Sabrina stayed until the end of the reception, she updated me on everything before she left so I knew where things were, etc.
    If we were getting married again I would choose Sabrina(Southern Sweetheart Events) all over again. Throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding Sabrina was everything we could image for a coordinator and more. She is so sweet, personable, professional and down to earth. I recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
    Thank you Sabrina for making our day so magical 🤍

    Baby Shower

    I had my baby shower last weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect! We had a theme "Here comes the Son" and a larger attendee count. Sabrina went above and beyond to capture every detail I wanted and envisioned. From decorations, linens, signage, and day of coordination with venue prep, it was everything I could have dreamed of! Thank you so much to the Southern Sweetheart team for making this mama to be's shower so amazing! Now just waiting on his arrival :-)

    Amazing in every way!

    Absolutely amazing! Sabrina not only has the ability to make everything go as planned but she also has the skill of making your vision come true. Along with that she personally was a huge part of making our big day come alive when our original photo and video ended up blocking and ghosting my husband, her and myself but she found another company that killed it!! Absolutely use her if she’s available you won’t regret it!!

    Excellent Planner!

    I had the pleasure of working with Sabrina on a recent wedding in April at South House Ruskin and everything ran so smoothly! She had everything set up and ready to go when I arrived, and the timing of events was perfect! No hang ups or waiting on any part of the ceremony or reception. The bride and groom were so happy and able to enjoy their day. I can't wait to collaborate again. ~Natalie, Owner/Photographer

    Wedding Planning

    Sabrina is the best! She was so organized and helped manage my big family which consisted of lots Of young children! I was so impressed that she was able to perfectly execute all my little details. I was fully prepared and expected little things to happen but I can honestly say nothing went wrong and it was exactly how I envisioned our day! She even fixed our flower girls dress! Do not hesitate to book her!

    Best Coordination Team in the Tampa Bay region

    My wife and I are so thrilled to have found Southern Sweetheart Events to help us manage all of the details of our big day this past month.

    We utilized her for Day of Coordinator services but she went way above and beyond for us and we truly feel she made a significant difference in our perfect wedding day!

    When you hear of couples that need someone to help unload all the details off their shoulders on their big day, that is the true definition of what Southern Sweetheart Events did for us and we are more than grateful for her.

    Some big items I know couples will look for that Southern Sweetheart over delivers on are:
    Clear Communication (Prior and Day of) - When our wedding day was postponed due to a Hurricane, Southern stepped in immediately to help us reach out to all of our vendors to have them hold everything and to be on standby for a new date. This same high level of communication carried through to the end of our Wedding when we knew and trusted everything was in great hands with the Southern Team and any question we had she was prompt to answer.
    Organized - She created a personalized schedule for us based on our vision, the vendors being utilized, and the other factors of the wedding that all had to come together to create one seamless event. There are many items we never thought of prior that she helped bring to light to us in our planning calls.
    Detail Oriented - Everything was where it needed to be, how it needed to be setup, and looked better than we could have imagined.
    Leader - Helped keep everyone on track the day of and even when we were running slightly behind because of some late guests, she still kept everything on track and helped us (the Bride and Groom) have some extra time to ourselves with our bridal party to just relax and have fun...we actually made it to part of the Cocktail Hour which is a big win for a day this big and busy!

    Overall, if you are in the Tampa Bay region with a Wedding or Event coming, I highly recommend the Southern Sweetheart Events team to be one of your first calls! We could not have asked for a better team there truly supporting us.

    Sabrina was the best choice we ever made.

    This review took me a long time to write, only because there wasn't enough kind words for me to stay about this amazing woman and her phenomenal skills.

    We never wanted a wedding to begin with, and we ended up with two; but when Sabrina was done with our events, we were so glad we did it. Sabrina did two weddings, one which was an ethnic wedding which she had never done before...and you know what? She knocked them both out of the park, to the point where all of our family told us how remarkable she was and how much of a good job she did.

    Sabrina was by our side through all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding. She's kind, detailed, strong and takes a very mature look at all aspects of the planning process. She went up to bat for us when vendors failed us, and made sure that all boxes were checked on the day of. Our favorite thing about her though, is how honest she is. If something is a bad idea, she'll be sure to tell you but will also come up with alternatives and ways to make your idea even better.

    On the big day(s), she did an outstanding job as a day-of coordinator. Even if you couldn't see her, she was watching and working and doing whatever she had to in order to make the day go as smoothly and be as special for us as it could be. Nothing got past her, and no issue was too big or complicated for her to sort out. We were both seriously impressed by her commitment and capability, and we can't thank her enough for all she did.

    At the end of the final day, I held her hand and teared up, asking that we stay in contact even after the wedding, she just had that much of an impact. When I (the bride) first met her, I told her that I hoped to become close with my wedding planner, since this entire process will be emotional and put both of us in a very vulnerable place. She assured me that she forms a strong bond with all of her clients, and I can definitely see why.

    Hire Sabrina. It'll be the best choice for your wedding, and for the both of you, that you'll ever make.

    Phenomenal

    Sabrina was the most vital component in getting my big day out together! I had ideas but she married them together. Not only did she help secure vendors and provide me with a planner to stay organized, she was the day of coordinator. The wedding planning process was easy, because of her and our wedding day was unrivaled because she was there. I continuously recommended her to my family members throughout the planning process and even on the day of my wedding. Many of my family members agreed that she is phenomenal and look forward to collaborating with her in the future, as am I!

    Southern Sweetheart Events's reply:

    Thanks so much Kathryn! It was awesome to work with you and make your wedding day vision come to life. Wish you and Alex many happy years together!

    Sabrina Wedding Coordinator

    Sabrina was amazing! From the very beginning to the very end of our time working together. She communicates, is dependable and is very friendly. She made the entire process so smooth. The day of my wedding she made sure to keep everything running smooth, and if there were any hiccups, we knew nothing about them! Highly recommend Sabrina!

    Absolutely amazing!

    We want to start by saying we wouldn’t have been able to handle this wedding without the help of Sabrina. I hired her mid-way through my wedding planning process, and she immediately went to work. She answered all our questions and communicated with all the vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was such a huge support. Everything we may have needed, she had. There wasn’t a single thing that I asked for that she could not help with! Sabrina was professional, courteous, and super sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone!! Thank you again!

    Sabrina is amazing

    We were planning our wedding across the country and am so glad to have used Sabrina for our month-of wedding planner. She was punctual (even with our different time zones for phone calls), alert, and extremely quick and responsive. Especially on the day of, we could not have done it without her. THANK YOU SABRINA!!!

    The perfect day.

    As the Father of the Bride, I was not sure about this service. NOW I AM.
    Sabrina was money well spent, and my daughter's wedding day went perfectly because of Sabrina.
    Sabrina was able to anticipate and fix any issue that arose with no one being any wiser to the issues.
    Thank you Sabrina for everything.

    Month-of coordination services

    I reached out to Sabrina at Southern Sweetheart about 6 months before my wedding. She was friendly, professional, and affordable. During our initial consultation, we discussed what I had planned so far and what was included in each coordination package. I decided to hire her for month-of coordination and I’m so glad I did!

    Sabrina contacted me promptly one month before my wedding. She helped me to find and book the vendors that I had not managed to secure yet, including a rental company for table settings and a baker for mini donuts for our brunch wedding. She also met with me to put together a day-of timeline, which I had struggled to create since our morning wedding was not very traditional.

    Throughout my DIY planning, I had been counting on it to not rain during the morning since we typically expect afternoon rain here in Florida. The forecast had different plans for us though, and I didn’t have a back-up plan for our outdoor event. Sabrina called 8 different tent rental companies two days before the wedding, and she was able to find us a tent that would be big enough for our event and that we could afford.

    The day of the wedding, Sabrina knocked it out of the park. She directed all the vendors and did the place settings herself, which looked gorgeous. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the morning of the wedding, which was a huge relief. Everything looked perfect and there is no way we could have pulled off such a beautiful event without Sabrina’s help. Very grateful for Sabrina and her services!

    Wedding month

    It was a last minute decision to hire a wedding planner, that decision was worth every penny and more. Sabrina saved me from the biggest headache that could have been. She was very responsive and ready to help with anything. She was strong handed with my groomsmen party but that was much needed and appreciated, she was also able to coordinate decisions on the fly as my wedding ran a little over. I would recommend 10/10 if you’re considering hiring a wedding planner go with Southern Sweetheart Events.

    Literally a sweetheart!

    Sabrina was SO caring and professional throughout the entire process. She listened and was very proactive when I needed something. I would recommend her to anyone for any event. She goes above and beyond to help. I never felt stressed because I knew she would be there.

    Absolutely wonderful!!

    I would absolutely recommend Sabrina from Southern Sweetheart Events!!! Aside from being so kind and lovely, she is so proactive in helping to make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. I was impressed from the start when she was the only wedding coordinator that wanted to speak with me over zoom before booking to get a better idea of what we wanted our day to look like and to see if she was the right fit. I thought it was so incredibly personable and, at the end of our conversation, I was ready to sign! We chose her month of services--she was always so responsive and helpful with any questions or issues that came up. She was even catching some minor details that were overlooked by my family during the planning process, such as our limo situation. She was instrumental in making our day so memorable! She even was there to help stitch me into my dress right before the wedding ceremony when body tape was just not cutting it! Honestly, my husband and I experienced so much peace having Sabrina as the point of contact throughout the day. She handled everything so gracefully! You will not regret hiring her for your day!

    I loved working with Sabrina! She definitely took everything I wanted and made it come true! I’m more type A but she really allowed me to enjoy the day and not stress about all the little stuff!
