Southern Event Planners helped me coordinate my son's rehearsal dinner. They are THE BEST. Please do not hesitate to hire them for your special event. You will not be disappointed, they are worth every cent. Angela is an expert listener and very adept at capturing your vision and enhancing it with her own special touch. Our rehearsal dinner was everything we had hoped it would be and more because of their expertise. -

Angela completely brought the 80's to life with my birthday party! From the neon decorations and retro arcade vibes to the Pac-Man dancefloor and the live break dancers, every detail was thought of and unforgettable. She made the planning seamless, fun and she really knows how to turn a theme into an immersive experience. Guests are still talking about the creative touches. If you want a party that is fun, stylish and totally unforgettable, Angela is the BEST! -

​​Angela is quite spectacular. She worked hard behind the scenes with all vendors, suggested vendors and on day of the wedding I did not have a care in the world because Angela took care of everything. Not one problem and everything looked wonderful in terms of setup and all transitions were smooth and seemingly effortless on the part of her team.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Angela. Hiring her to help plan my wedding was the best decision. She was very responsive, thought of every detail I would have missed, and was always pleasant and professional no matter how busy she was! I also appreciate that she did not try to overcharge - she was very honest about how long I would need her for the day of, rather than leading me to believe I would need her help all day and charging accordingly. I really respect and appreciate that as I know others would not be that honest. Is you want a stress-free big day, with every detail covered, Angela is your woman! -

Along the way, her clients recognized her creating and at their urging, she began offering floral and event design services.
Because of her studies if Interior Design and Finance at the University of Memphis gave Angela the edge to not only have a great eye for design and space planning but an amazing sensibility to run a business and understand the contractual/financial complexities of events.
