Southern Charm Events

Stephyn and her team at Southern Charm are incredible! Stephyn went above and beyond to make my wedding a dream come true, and made the entire wedding planning process stress free and so much fun. Her and her team were the absolutely sweetest and made sure everything was perfect on my wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!!

Stephyn and the SC team made our wedding process so incredibly stress free. We started working with Stephyn two months before our wedding and she and her team took over all communication with our other vendors. Their previous work history with local OKC vendors made that process seamless, as they had worked with almost every one of them before. It allowed my wife and I to focus on each other and enjoy that time rather than be stressed out. They were flexible with plans and made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it to be. On the big day, they were constantly checking in to see if my bride or myself needed anything and were so supportive. As a LGBTQ+ couple, we felt extremely comfortable with Stephyn and her entire team. We absolutely would not have had such an incredible day had it not been for them!

Nicole at Southern Charm was so easy to work with and such a lovely person. I would recommend her to ensure a wonderful event! She coordinated with all of the vendors and we had several to manage. She handled the whole event professionally and with ease I would recommend Nicole every time!

Nicole was incredible to work with and made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there!!!! She made our day run SO smoothly and allowed us to enjoy our wedding rather than stress about it. We cannot recommend her enough and would hire her again!!!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!! We chose the full package which meant the owner, Stephyn, took care of us. She was so helpful during the ENTIRE process! She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and did not judge us for the questions we thought were obvious or silly. On Wedding Day, Stephyn calmed my nerves easily and helped me stop worrying about how everything would turn out. Her and her team worked effortlessly throughout the day. She even stepped in and helped out my veil on! It was easily the best day of my life and I’m so thankful we chose them as our wedding planner team!

Nicole and Stephyn were an absolute dream to work with! Having a wedding in a different state than you live in is extremely stressful, but Southern Charm made it so easy. Nicole and Stephyn are excellent communicators and and their organizational skills are amazing. Our wedding day was an absolute dream! Cannot recommend Southern Charm enough!

DO NOT USE !!!!!!!!!! Nicole AND Stephyn were hired to help with my sisters wedding and WERE SO DISRESPECTFUL and NO ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!! My sisters wedding was all black - every single guest wore black, same with the bridesmaids… the wedding coordinators KNEW this (or else that would be terrible coordinator)… STEPHYN SHOWS UP IN A PINK BLAZER 🙃 we were shocked she even showed up since she said she wouldn’t and my sister had to pull out the contract stating she would… BUT MY FAVORITE MOMENT was we were in LINE to walk down the aisle and Nicole comes up to the best man (my escort) hands him a water bottle and tells him to pour it in the wine glass at the front before the bride walks down… I was disgusted as this was apart of the plan from the beginning and they didn’t check the ceremony set up before guests arrive???… she also said there is no bread for communion because she forgot so they would need to fake it… fake the body of Christ on their day of their marriage vows??….. I threw a fit and made Nicole run down the side of the ceremony to fix her mistake instead…. DISAPPOINTING AND HONESTLY SO EMBARRASSING

They (stephyn and nicole) were absolutely terrible. I would give 0 stars if I could. At our initial meeting I absolutely loved stephyn and decided to sign with her because it seemed like she had so much knowledge and experience. I asked her if it would be her personally working on my wedding and she said yes, but that was the first of many lies. She put Nicole on my wedding who seemed to not know what she was doing at all and was unable to answer most of my questions so I would have to talk to the vendors and venue owners myself to get any questions answered correctly. I planned my whole wedding myself and couldve/shouldve done it all without them, but my venue required a coordinator so I could not fire them or I absolutely would have. They did not do several things that they said they were going to do or what they were contracted to do. 3 of my vendors never heard from them until day of. I caught them in several lies and they ended up not even coming to my wedding rehearsal. they forgot to get the bread and water for communion for my ceremony and said that it was fine and we could just "fake it" and that was what they wouldve made me do if my sister did not tell them to fix it. save yourself time, stress, and money and do not use them for your wedding.

Stephyn and her Southern Charm team were amazing! Every meeting was organized and productive. As mother of the bride, I truly appreciated her calm and positive attitude! We loved all the vendors she recommended and the wisdom she provided. The day of the wedding was wonderful! Southern Charm handled all the details and created the wedding my daughter and son-in-law were hoping for! Thanks again to Stephyn and her SC team!

We got the bait and switch from them. Stephyn promised she was our coordinator but when time came she gave us to Nicole who was just terrible. We caught them in several lies! We even recovered some (not enough) money back because they did not have all the meetings we were promised. They didn’t reach out to several of the vendors so it’s a good thing my daughter was so on top of things. Day of they all had such bad attitudes and did the bare minimum. Guests at the wedding even noticed their attitudes. The other vendors have asked us if we got money back since they didn’t do all the things they promised. It was wasted money and they caused more problems then they fixed. Run don’t walk to another company. Dishonest, unreliable, incompetent are just a few words to describe these people.

Our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Nicole and Southern Charm Events!! Any questions or concerns I had, Nicole was only a text or call away. On the day, Nicole and the team brought our vision to life and helped make it such a beautiful, stress free day for my groom and me! Just book them, you won’t regret it :)

The best experience ever! Our planner Nicole Shadid was so amazing and the actual best planner ever! Knowledgeable, always ready to problem solve! Made all my dreams come true on our special day!

The worst vendor we had for the wedding. I don't normally like to publish bad reviews without first talking with the business. We sent an email to the owner over a week ago, and so far we have not received a response. I would have loved to talk about this privately with her, but without a response, I can't help her. We booked The Charm service from them so we knew we were not getting full planning services. We needed someone to take over a few months prior to the ceremony and coordinate the day of activities. Our planner, however, did not even perform their very basic duties. Leading up to the wedding, their were virtual visits that our planner was not prepared for. She was also on vacation for 10 days out of the 30 days leading up to the ceremony. At our one venue walk through, she was late because she "got lost". Her initial ceremony timeline was so bad (5 minutes for pictures after the ceremony that we had to take over the creation of the ceremony timeline. She asked us to change to timing of the rehearsal and have dinner before the rehearsal because she had a doctors appointment. We were told that it would be her and two others to help set up the day of the ceremony. I found out later that she was only bringing one other person because she read the schedule wrong and her boss had only assigned one other person. During the ceremony, she did keep things on schedule but that was about it. She even commented to one of our guests that brought a present to the wedding that she wasn't sure what to do with the gift because no one brings gifts to weddings anymore. She was completely unprofessional. The wedding turned out beautifully but not because of Southern Charm.

Kaitlin did an amazing job in making sure our planning/wedding went smoothly! We purchased "The Charm" package and everything was as it said on the website. Communication was great and if we had questions or anything, Kaitlin always responded back in a timely manner. The day of the wedding, she was a rockstar in making sure everything was ready and we went according to the timeline she had created for us! Thank you Southern Charm Events and especially to you Kaitlin!

I can't say enough about my incredible experience and service with Nicole Shadid from Southern Charm. So much goes into wedding planning and there's always more to it than you think. I dreamed of what planning my wedding would be like one day and after I decided all the big fun things, I was so overwhelmed with all the tiny details. Of the few things I would have done differently with our wedding, Nicole is the #1 vendor I could not have lived without. Not only is she super talented at event coordinating, professional and so fun, she literally became my friend and voice of reason. She calmed my every fear and worry about anything that came up, she was there for us all the time. Nicole literally made my wedding dreams come true. I felt like she understood my vision perfectly and was able to execute our wedding so beautifully. Nicole was such a dream to work with, I am forever thankful for her and recommend her to everyone!

Like any type A bride, I started planning my wedding before I was even engaged. The moment I ended my consultation call with Stephyn, I knew she was the wedding planner I wanted and needed to help me through this process. She suggested the best vendors, responded to my thousands of questions, and calmed every ounce of planning anxiety that came my way. When I tell you my day was perfect, I’m not exaggerating. Stephyn ensured the day flowed without a hitch. She does everything from putting in your veil, herding groomsmen, bustling your dress, helping you define your wedding theme, the list goes on…. Of all of the many expenses that are a part of a wedding, budgeting for the professional services of Southern Charm is a must and it will absolutely be the best money spent as you plan and prepare for this special day.  A wedding planner turned friend. If you’re planning a wedding, you need Stephyn / South Charm in your corner.

Southern Charm came out to our wedding venue and did an amazing job. The whole day went so smooth, we couldn't believe how they had every little thing under control for such a big wedding. The whole team was so fun to work with as well! We cannot wait to have them back at our venue.

I am so grateful and thankful that I hired Southern Charm to help with our wedding. By far the best decision i could have made for our special day. They listened to every want, need, vision, and idea that I had to make sure our wedding was exactly as we wanted. They would tend to every need and think of things i would of never even considered. The day of team was so attentive to every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly. My husband and I can say without a doubt that there was not a single issue or thing we would of changed about our wedding day and we give that credit to them! They created a stress free environment so we were able to enjoy time with our guests and not worry. No amount of words will describe just how wonderful our experience was. Thank You Southern Charm for being the best wedding planners a girl could ask for.

Nicole from Southern Charm saved me from so much stress. As the mother of the bride, I decided to hire a planner after having thrown two daughters weddings, I wanted to enjoy this third wedding without the stress. It was well worth it. Nicole took care of everything and really helped make decorating decisions that I didn’t feel confident about and she did a great job. The day of the wedding I just sat back and watched the magic take place while Nicole and her team took care of all the details. Thank you Southern Charm!!

Stephyn and her team at Southern Charm are magnificent and the sweetest people you will ever meet. I seriously couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding and that was all because of Stephyn. When we had to move our wedding date from April to September and Stephyn and her team handled everything. From calling all the vendors and making sure everything got moved to the new date. And on the wedding day I actually got to enjoy just getting ready with my bridesmaids and look forward to marrying the man of my dreams. Because they handled everything. Future Brides do yourself a huge favor and hire Stephyn and Southern Charm events!!

Nichole & Stephyn were amazing! They were so fun and made everything really easy. They even made everything still wonderful when we had to switch to a much smaller wedding in a different venue <1 month before the wedding (COVID). I cannot recommend them highly enough

Nicole was so great! She took over all planning for me whenever COVID happened and made my day so special. She made everything so stress free and I don’t know why I didn’t hire her sooner. I fully recommend Nicole and any other person from Southern Charm Events!

Southern charms is one of the best vendors we had! Stephyn was easy to work with and easy to communicate with through out the entire wedding planning process! The day of our wedding we literally just showed up and everything was perfect! Can’t thank her enough for everything!

TL;DR An easy way to waste $1500+. Guests mentioned her on her phone all night. Bride not consulted on BIG changes. Cake cutting missed by all. It has taken me over a year to write this review because I am, to this day, still so upset over what happened on my wedding day that I haven't had the stomach to write it. BEFORE: What is even the price? Our venue had a "preferred vendor deal" which is actual the baseline price on the sheet, but we were told a higher price when we met with Stephyn in person. Hopefully the confusing pricing and packages have been resolved. When I reached out to ask if Stephyn knew a way to save a little on my linens I was given 1 option, when I responded that was too much, I was given 1 more. Although we were told that some help with vendor selection/suggestions were part of our package we were treated rudely when we asked for help. Eventually I found the linens by myself, paid 80% less than the "cheaper" vendors she suggested, and when I told her who I had gone with, she responded, "Oh, yes, Lexi is great!", which I interpreted as "My commission from vendor X is more important than your satisfaction". In our final meeting before the wedding, I was asked to design the entire set up of both ceremony and reception and then to send it to the venue. Basically no work was done during this last (or any) meeting and I was expected to both create the content and share it with the vendors. We were continually encouraged to shorten the wedding and despite MULTIPLE emails stating that we did not in fact want to shorten it, all of the timelines had HER schedule on it, NOT OURS. We were told the best option would be to book the venue the evening before for the rehearsal dinner and set up (read an extra $2k to rent the day before). No set up was done until mere hours before the wedding. DAY OF: The weather was poor and the ceremony had to be moved inside. I was not aware of any of the movement or how things had been rearranged until I was being ushered into the building. 75% of the people at our ceremony had to stand as a result. There were chairs available, but somehow they weren't made available to our guests... NONE of the corsages (read $100+) made it to the mothers, grandmothers, or aunts who were supposed to be wearing them, even though the bag containing them was given to Stephyn and/or her assistant. During speeches people were speaking so loudly that many people couldn't hear - despite the speaker having a microphone-- no one felt it appropriate to quiet those speaking (even though we discussed this potentially being a problem before the day of). The DJ was not notified that we were cutting the cake, meaning all but maybe 10 wedding guests missed it. Multiple guests mentioned/asked either me directly or my parents who the woman on her phone was the whole night. The groomsmen were not ever asked to help clean as we requested. It was bad. It was expensive. It left a horrible taste in my mouth and an awful impression on those present. We would have been so much better doing the planning all ourselves -- which we basically did anyway-- and almost nothing was actually done on the day of. Just horrible.

Leesh can take a hundred little thoughts and turn your wedding into a magical moment in time. You can trust that she knows how to connect you to the absolutely best vendors in the state! As a mother of the bride to be able to spend precious time with your daughter on her wedding day is priceless! She handles every situation with grace and elegance. I could not imagine a wedding without Leesh and Southern Charm.

Stephyn and all the ladies at Southern Charm Events truly made my wedding planning process so easy and fun. The months leading up to the wedding were 100% stress free knowing that the team had everything handled with my incredible vendors - this allowed me to focus on the details that I wanted to and more of the "fun stuff" with planning a wedding. Every step of the way I felt prepared by Stephyn for what needed to be accomplished next - there was no guessing, and she was my biggest cheerleader along the way! The day of the wedding was a dream because of how diligent, professional, and high energy everyone was. Nothing fell through the cracks, everything was executed the way we had discussed prior, and they made sure that it was a stress free environment for me and my husband to enjoy our day in!! Even though I am extremely organized and felt I was able to plan it on my own, I am SO GLAD I chose to allow Southern Charm Events to help me out - it allowed for me to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest extent and bring a vision to the wedding I couldn't have come up with by myself. None of that would have been possible without the AMAZING team at Southern Charm Events!!

We absolutely LOVED working with Addy. There is no way we could have accomplished our dream wedding without her! She was on top of EVERYTHING! she never missed a beat. She calmed all my nerves and anxieties that come with wedding planning and made our day seamless. There is no way to put into words what a blessing she was for us. Not only is she great at what she does but she is a beautiful person. Stephyn came to help on wedding day as well and she was just as sweet and helpful. She laughed and joked with us and we loved having her a part of our day. Southern Charm was such a huge part of our wedding and we could not say enough good things about them! Book with Southern Charm! You will not be disappointed!

WOW! I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Southern Charm! I had a terrible experience with my first wedding planner, but then Southern Charm came into the picture and made all our wedding dreams come true! I would recommend Stephyn and her group to anyone and everyone planning a wedding/event! They made the process so easy! My husband and I were stress-free through the entire process! The communication with Southern Charm is top-notch, any email or text that I sent was answered quickly and professionally. They stayed in contact with all the vendors and the big day went off PERFECTLY! Look no further when it comes to your wedding day! If you want your event to be perfect, Southern Charm is the only one who can do it!

I could not have asked for a better wedding planner - Stephyn handled absolutely everything for me and brought my vision to life. She kept things stress free for me and allowed to enjoy the process of planning. Not to mention the amount of support she gave me the day of. I got the wedding of my dreams because of southern charm and I couldn’t be happier!

We want to first say that we worked with Addy in Dallas and not the OKC team.My husband and I didnt plan a large wedding (only 100 guests) and this was for our RECEPTION ONLY since we got married internationally and did not have Addy help with.At our first meeting Addy went over everything we could expect from her since we were doing the Pop of Charm package, which included a monthly checklist of things that needed to be completed, help with finding all of our vendors, meetings coordinated with vendors (this was just the basics). I would like to note that at our initial meeting the main vendors we were concerned about were: dj, floral, hair/makeup, transportation. Addy told us that she had MANY options for each of these and would be glad to help us. When time came to finding these vendors it took asking several times for recommendations and then she would only provide 1 name.She did not help with getting quotes or setting up meeting except for the caterer (which included quotes that were FAR OUTSIDE our budget), linen, buses (until she just quit and told us to contact places). We should've known when she never showed up at the ONLY meeting we had for the location that this was not a good fit. Each meeting after that was always very awkward and from then nothing went as anticipated. Luckily we had free time to schedule all of our own vendor meetings with the dj (which we found and she never attended a meeting), floral (she showed up 30 minutes late), location (to this day we do not think she ever visited the space before our event), hair/makeup (we had to do all the research for this vendor). We could go on and on about how disappointed we are in everything. As far as the monthly check ins we received ONE in August but nothing after that. We were the ones actually contacting Addy to check in and see if there was anything that needed to be done after going months without hearing from her. At our final meeting the owner of SC showed up which relieved some of the stress we had been under leading up to our event.She told us that going forward Addy should be the only one contacting vendors and getting all final invoices (hahahaha this was such a lie). We had to BEG for invoices from almost every vendor and even then she waited until the last minute to request them. Our caterer invoice came back completely wrong and when we asked Addy to have the corrections made she had the nerve to tell us that we should contact them if we want things changed. Addy knew that leading up to our reception we would be out of the country at our CEREMONY for 10 days and we would need everything before we left. Due to her waiting until the last minute we were rushing the day before we left to contact vendors for changes and make payments. We hired a wedding planner to take stress away from us leading up to the events and instead hiring Addy from Southern Charm caused us even more stress. When it came time for our actual reception we both did our best to be optimistic since WE had planned everything out and given specific instructions for the entire layout, seating chart, bars, ect. As we looked around we noticed tables were not in the correct order, signs we'd had custom made were no where to be found, lights on the patio were not on (we paid $400 for these and ended up plugging them in ourselves with only an hour left of the event). Again we could go on and on about how DISAPPOINTED we were in everything. Luckily this was NOT our Ceremony.

Stephyn and her team were AMAZING. She was so loving and patient! She dealt with very difficult planning situations for me and was still calm and kind! She truly was heaven sent! She kept me calm even when I’m sure it was very hard! I now consider her a friend! I 1,000% recommend her! Thank you again Stephyn! LOVE YOUUUU!

Stephyn was very informative and helpful in setting everything up with vendors. She was also very easy to work with and had lots of great suggestions! There were only a few opportunities for improvement. For example, there was a little confusion on items she was providing vs us; church sanctuary should have been unavailable to guests while bride was taking pics before ceremony; and a couple times had a hard time receiving a response via email. However, overall we are very pleased.

So, as a naturally stubborn woman, I thought this whole wedding journey was going to be an “easy to plan” experience and that we could do it all on our own. LOLOLOL As I started working on the planning details, I quickly realized I was in way over my head! Cue the rescue of a lifetime: a friend from college recommended Southern Charm Event as a wedding planning option and upon meeting Stephyn and having our first initial meeting, I knew all my wedding dreams were about to come true and all that added stress I had taken on was about to subside. LET ME TELL YALL ABOUT STEPHYN... This woman can do it all! The planning process with her was a dream. Our meetings were like spending time with a long lost friend and she was so knowledgeable and really helped every detail of our wedding come together seamlessly. We had some unorthodox choices, but she helped us bring them to fruition and made our day one we will cherish forever. She helped and guided us with each step of the way and we ALWAYS felt like a priority. The day of the wedding was fantastic and even though I finally started to really feel the real pressure of being the star for the day a couple of hours before walking down the aisle, Stephyn quickly alleviated any anxiety for me and made me feel valid and sane. Stephyn, thank you for everything. You really were such an important piece of this journey and we couldn’t have done it without you! Love you, girl ❤️

Stephyn was a dream come true. We initially thought that we would tough it out during the planning process and do it all ourselves, but thank goodness we found Southern Charm, because I don’t know if we would have made it. Upon meeting with Stephyn for the first time, my wife and I instantly fell in love with her upbeat attitude, her constant encouragement, and her immense knowledge on what we needed to do. She listened to all of our ideas, helped us refine our vision, and kept us on track by showing how our budget was shaping up alongside our decisions. She never made us feel like we ‘couldn’t’ do something, but was always honest about how it would impact our budget and other aspects of the wedding to ensure we made the most informed decisions. We had some unorthodox ideas for the wedding (who wants to toss a garter or bouquet when you can toss t-shirts instead?!), and Stephyn rolled with it every step of the way and made certain we knew that this wedding was for us. She didn’t bat an eye when my wife indicated she would be having her mother-daughter dance to a Nicki Minaj song. That is proof of how much she wanted this day to be about us. She consistently communicated with us, laid out our timeline for getting things done, and made sure we were always supported. Her and her team were amazing the day of the wedding, keeping everything moving smoothly behind the scenes and making the day truly feel like a celebration. I would recommend Southern Charm to everyone without a doubt!

Stephyn, the owner of Southern Charm Events, was a dream to work with!! She not only helped us pick the best vendors but leading up to the week of the wedding contacted all of them for us to verify that they would be there so we didn’t have to. The day of the wedding Stephyn took care of everything!! If there were problems I didn’t know about them! Our wedding day was perfect and we have Stephyn to thank for that! I would recommend Southern Charm Events in a heart beat!

Stephyn and her Southern Charm Events team went above and beyond to make our day special! From the first consultation, 1 month out then rehearsal and day of our wedding I felt so at ease. She was so helpful answering questions and giving suggestions for our budget. I can’t recommend Southern Charm Events enough!

Stephyn was so wonderful throughout the entire process of wedding planning! She had great recommendations when it came time to start booking vendors and answered any questions I had. She was at all of our vendor meetings and helped me keep track of the details (sooo many details). If there was something I thought of that I wanted to have at the wedding, she helped make it happen. She never shot down any of my silly ideas (she just kindly guided me in a better direction, when necessary 😬). She was so fun to plan with and was amazing on the day of! She didn’t boss me around or question me when I wanted to do things off schedule. If there were any mishaps during the wedding, I had no clue. She handled everything wonderfully and let me focus on having fun. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful thanks to her, her assistant, and our vendors. She brought my visions for our wedding to life. I couldn’t have asked for anything more! I highly recommend Stephyn and Southern Charm to any brides looking for a planner. I wish we could do it all over again 💕

Stephn and her assistant did a fantastic job! Our wedding could not have gone smoother. She gave us insights into things we would not have thought of. She made sure everyone was where they needed be perfectly. 5 stars+!!!

Leesh was absolutely amazing!! She knew what she was doing and made our wedding day stress free and so very perfect! I highly recommend her!!

Nicole Shadid with Southern Charm coordinated our wedding a few weeks ago in OKC. I wanted to write this review to say how pleased we were/are with Nicole. She was amazing and we honestly couldn’t have done any of it without her! She worked tirelessly with an enthusiastic smile on her face- which is something I can only describe as passion, honestly. This has been one of the most stressful times in my life and as soon as I handed over the reins to Nicole, my stress lifted, and I was able to enjoy our wedding weekend. Please know that you truly have one special girl on your team. She is passionate, calming and genuinely excited -- and runs a very tight ship! She was the best part of our wedding weekend and we are beyond thankful to have had her services. Our vendors also had rave reviews and were sure to let me know. She was very professional and handled everything with ease. 😊 Again, Thank YOU for sharing her with us, Southern Charm. We hit the wedding coordinator jackpot with Nicole. We could not recommend her services more!

I can’t imagine my wedding without Southern Charm! They kept me on track with planning, set up/attended certain vendor meetings, and brought my vision to life! I got the “Pop of Charm” package and Leesh Ethington was my amazing planner. She would check in with me a few times a month to see how things were coming along and offered to help if I needed it. I texted and emailed with her if I had any questions or needed recommendations. I met several times with Leesh and Stephyn (the owner) to go over my wedding vision and attended a few different vendor meetings together (rentals, flowers, and catering). When you book with Southern Charm, you will also get access to an online website, Aisle Planner, that helps organize EVERYTHING about your wedding—budget, vendors, vision board, guest list, do to lists, calendar, day-of timeline, etc. Aisle Planner was extremely helpful with the planning process. It kept track of my payment plans with different vendors and put it on my calendar so I would know when to pay them and how much I owed. I kept my guest lists, addresses, and RSVPs on the website as well. Towards the last month before the wedding, Leesh created a detailed day-of timeline and we went over it at one of our meetings to make sure the day ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding Leesh and 2-3 other planners worked their magic setting everything up and coordinating with the vendors. After our ceremony, they flipped the room for the reception. Leesh kept us on track the whole day and let us know what would be up next so we were prepared. After the reception, they helped tear down and clean up everything. My wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Stephyn, Leesh, and the Southern Charm team!!

Stephyn and Leesh were seriously SO AMAZING!!!! They made the craziness of planning a big wedding so much easier than I ever imagined! Our meetings were so much fun and they understood my vision to the T! I was a little nervous leading up to the day of because there were minor details I wasn’t able to personally get done, but Stephyn and Leesh did so amazing I literally forgot I had planned on doing any of that stuff until I got back from my honeymoon. Do yourself a huge favor and just go ahead and call these ladies. Weather it’s a big or small wedding- they have your back! 12/10 would recommend!!

From a bride who inquired with several wedding planners from all over I can truly say the Stephyn from Southern Charm Events was such a blessing during this wedding planning experience. From the moment I talked to her on the phone she was straight forward, helpful, and constantly only had the best interest for me as the bride. A wedding can be very stressful on a bride but I found when you find the right wedding planner it is such a enjoyable experience. This is my first time to write a review for anything and I knew I had to because of how impressed and thankful I am for this company and this wedding planner. She helped me plan and coordinate my special day better than I could have even imagined it.

Emily with Southern Charm Events was awesome. She answered all our questions, helped us plan everything, and was an awesome coordinator on the day-of. We hired her as a month-of planner, and she handled everything seamlessly!

I will never be able to say enough on how amazing Leesh Ehtington was for us. My now husband is Hispanic so naturally he has a giant family with tons of friends. My family is also fairly large. A total guest list for us was an estimated 400. PANIC!!! Leesh literally handled EVERY detail. I still had the freedom to pick everything I wanted, but she took the time and put in effort to learn what I wanted. She felt more like a friend than a wedding planner. She knew me well enough to where she could handle a situation the way I wanted before I even had a chance to know what was going wrong. And I say that lightly because my day was made perfect. If you want someone who has the ability to handle a big event or even a small one, and have the heart to make everything feel so personal and lovely; someone that even takes the time to remind you, in all the craziness of the wedding day, why you’re getting married in the first place; then Leesh is you’re girl 💜💜💜

Cassie is AMAZING and god's little helper!! She went above and beyond for me as well as my daughter for her wedding! I decided I needed some help about 2 weeks before my daughter's wedding. I realized I could not do it all by myself. She helped me find a dress the day of the wedding once the dress I had flown in did not fit, she made contact with all of the vendors, helped put out the decor before the wedding as well as help pack and box everything back up afterwards, including the top tier of the wedding cake. She kept us on track, was extremely focused, and walked us through everything, AND she got in touch with someone to make my daughter's cake after there had been miscommunication between myself and the original person that was supposed to do the wedding cake. I am talking TWO DAYS BEFORE the wedding!!! She was always punctual. She helped order things on Amazon for me. She connected me with the florist, a rental company for other things I needed, etc. This gal was on top of EVERYTHING and just on fire! She kept everything and everyone in order and on time. She brought an assistant with her the day of the wedding to help us as well. I could NOT have had this beautiful and elegant wedding without Cassie. She, truly, was a lifesaver! She took so much stress of not only me but off if my daughter as well. She made my daughter feel very comfortable and secure. The wedding turned out gorgeous, rustic, elegant, and classy. I cannot sing her praises enough. I would DEFINITELY recommend Cassie to any future bride! She will make your life so much easier and allow you to focus on other aspects of your wedding while she takes on the things that would, otherwise, weigh you down. She locked in our bartender, worked with our caterer, the florist, etc. This woman is incredible!!! If you want to make your dream wedding come true, you need to give Cassie a call. She has all of the connections you will need and she will make things happen!!

I just want to say how much I appreciated Stephyn and her team! The thing that really meant a lot to me was that we had an issue with our venue where we found out 1 month until the wedding that since the venue was booked the night before. Meaning we were to get the venue to set up at 10am day of the wedding, problem was that mass was at 2pm. Long story short Stephyn was willing to step up and set up our whole venue, meaning rolling out the tables, chairs to sit 300 guests and decorate the whole thing. That was something that meant a lot to me! Luckily the event that was for the night before our wedding got cancel and my family was able to do it but it meant the world to me that she was willing to do that for us! Now the day of the wedding stephyn and her team just made it so easy for me and my husband!! So I just want to say thank you and I highly recommend stephyn!

Truth is I interviewed multiple coordinators before I met Stephyn and instantly we clicked! To my amazement our wedding vision was brought to life by the amazing Stephyn and her sweet ladies. I never would have had the relaxed day and amazing dream wedding without her. The best part is I gained a lifelong friend. I’m already dreaming of our vow renewal with her! If you need help bringing your vision to life or just don’t have the time to plan your vision she’s your girl! We own our business so time is limited and we had a dream and she did the hard work and made our dream come true! Don’t get me wrong you do have to do some work and you do have to pick up on some finer details but overall you have one of the best to help you get to the alter!

We were referred to Southern Charm by a good friend and worked with Stephyn on my daighter’s June wedding. Her planning assistance and advice were invaluable and she helped make the special day seamless and magical for the bride and groom - and all of our friends and family. As mother of the bride, it was wonderful to be in the moment throughout my daughter’s special day knowing that Stephyn and her team were handling all the details. Can’t say enough good things!

I was really stressed about planning the wedding. When I met with Brooke she was able to put a lot of my worries at ease. Everything went smooth the day of the wedding. I am glad that we chose Southern Charm :)

I could not imagine my wedding without Stephyn and the other Southern Charm girls! Stephyn was there to hold my hand through it all! From finding my amazing florist to picking out the guys suits. Without her I’m not sure where I would have even started. Stephyn was able to recommend vendors as well as set up appointment’s with them. One less thing we had to worry about. She was always on top of it all and available for any question’s I had. The best part of having Stephyn was the day of my wedding. It could have not gone more perfect because of her. She made sure I did not have to worry about a single thing that day. Stephyn and her staff made sure everything went as planned and if it didn’t they were there to problem solve, so I didn’t have to! Thanks to Southern Charm Bennett’s and I’s wedding day & wedding planning was an absolute dream! I highly recommend any brides that are interested in a wedding planner to check them out!

Brooke McDowell and everyone at The Palace Event Center made my wedding day even more amazing than it already was considering I got to marry my best friend! Everything was perfect! All of the decorations looked exactly how I imagined it, and I was able to totally relax and not worry about a thing on this day! 12/10 I would recommend Southern Charm! Everyone was so helpful!! It was beautiful and perfect and I loved every detail!

I was nervous at first thinking about someone else decorating the reception besides myself but the outcome was SO SO beautiful! When I walked in, and it was just how I picture it, my dream wedding! I couldn’t help but smile beause it was romantic, just how I wanted it. They were so helpful, always listening to everything I wanted. They were honestly the best and sweetest people!

BEST. EVER. It was super important to me to have someone that could help my mom and I plan my wedding, which meant I had high hopes for a wedding planner. I'm so lucky to have had Stephyn & her team! I am struggling to put into words all the things she did for us without writing a novel - she kept us on track, did everything she said she would and more, and made herself available extremely often. I was so overwhelmed so many times, and literally Stephyn always made it "no big deal" and kept me on track every step of the way. She took what I said seriously, and even remembered things I wanted, even when I said them in passing. My mom is extremely detailed and on-the-ball and she was impressed with Stephyn and in love with her too!! Stephyn and her whole team are the perfect people to help plan your wedding! :)
