Indian Wedding Decor Planner

Where do I begin with Lauren and Southern Savvy Events. I am beyond blown away at how amazing she is! George and I came in with big visions and LOTS of questions and she was just so patient, kind, and just so darn creative! She took all of our smallest details and turned them into a decor theme that was the one word that kept coming through in our conversations and that was: magical. She makes things easy, totally gets on the same page as you, and works with some of the BEST vendors. The florist she coordinated with (Springvine) created such a stunning, unforgettable entrance into our reception space. I can't recommend enough how lucky you'd be to work with Lauren for your next event or wedding.

Best wedding planner ever!!

Words cannot express how thankful I am that Lauren came into my life to plan and design our wedding. We interviewed a bunch of planners and I was immediately drawn to Lauren’s spirit. She is calm but confident and I knew I would be in great hands!

And it was only uphill from there. Lauren put a ton of effort into getting to know us, as well as our wedding style. The result was that she curated a set of vendors that not only perfectly captured our vision, but also were a delight to work with. To be honest, I was kind of dreading planning the wedding, but Lauren actually made it enjoyable.

She took so much off my plate, kept me organized, and always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even realized it (going so far as to tell me to breathe just before I walked down the aisle so I didn’t pass out from nerves). She took my mish mosh vision and turned it into the most beautiful event that I have ever experienced. On top of that, she came up with a million little details that were extremely personal to us – those are the things that we will remember looking back on the most special day of our lives.

Thank you, Lauren – you truly are the best!

We had a wonderful experience working with Lauren at Southern Savvy Events. As a fellow vendor, we appreciated her attention to detail, the ease of working with her, and her professionalism. We would highly recommend her to any of our customers.

As a fellow planner in the Charlotte market, I cannot say enough kind words about Lauren Pressley of Southern Savvy Events. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has a true passion for what she does! If I am ever personally booked, she is top on my list to pass a bride to. She is business savvy and detail oriented. Her eye for design, calm demeanor and “get it done” mentality make it apparent she is truly great at her job. Brides, if you want someone to make your wedding day perfect in every way, hire Lauren. I would honestly trust her with my own wedding.
