    Thompson Wedding

    I don't even know where to begin. Tanya was amazing. Above and beyond what we could have imagined. She was responsive, kind, sweet and sometimes direct and to the point when needed. We had an out of state wedding and knew we needed someone else to take the reigns for us. She suggested amazing vendors and and made sure everything was picture perfect for us. If you are looking for a wedding planner please consider going with Tanya and her team. You will not be disappointed!!!

    Making Dreams Come True

    Southern Charm Events guided us through every step of our destination wedding weekend start to finish which included venue choices, vendor contracts, rsvp lists, and detailed family timelines. Our wedding day was so beautiful and joyous because of Southern Charm Events. Would recommend this group to any couple thinking of a wedding in the Jacksonville area and nearby islands. Truly special.

    I wish we could get married every weekend just to work with Southern Charm Events again!!

    Easy, stress-free, smooth, FUN! These are all words that immediately come to my mind when I think of Tanya and her team.

    Tanya was our “day of coordinator” but she was truly there for us from the moment we signed the contract (over 1 year!) From the planning checklist, to the budget tracker, to all the other planning resources they provide, Southern Charm Events is WORTH EVERY PENNY! Not to mention everything they do on your actual wedding day. From set up, to keeping you on track with your timeline, to wedding crisis control, they are the total package.

    If you asked me, I would say that our day went smooth, perfect, without a hitch and not one thing went wrong. However, on our wedding day there was a small hiccup with one of our table cloths and an ant pile. Tanya and her team handled it so quickly, with such professionalism that I didn’t even know about it until 3 weeks after the wedding! Talk about wedding superheroes!

    I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team than Tanya and Haley, and we feel so lucky that we got to spend the best day of our lives with them.

    10/10 - would hire again in a heartbeat

    Tanya, and the entire team at Southern Charm, were absolutely amazing throughout the whole wedding process, from planning all the way until the end of the wedding night! We booked Southern Charm about one year out from our wedding date and from the get go, Tanya and her team were thoughtful, organized, and incredibly responsive. Tanya provided us with recommendations for all of our vendors and made the whole process much more simple. When it came to the day of the wedding, Tanya and her team had everything covered. We were able to relax and focus on each other, which is exactly what we wanted. Hiring Tanya was easily the best decision we made when it came to our wedding planning!

    Best wedding decision we made

    Tanya and her team were god-send for our wedding. Throughout the whole planning phase she provided so much support to all my questions and even several very helpful tools! For the day-of Tanya was THE MVP. Helping to make sure all of the details got attended to and making the whole day go smooth.

    Highly Recommend!! Tanya & Team are amazing.

    Hiring Tanya & Southern Charm was the best decision we could have made. We chose the "Day Of" package, but that is misleading because you have access to so many resources from day one. Between the customized wedding website, checklists, vendor resources, and the ability to send over individual questions either through email or phone calls our planning process was actually really fun! I am sad its over. Both myself and husband had so much fun the day of our wedding. Not one thing went wrong, and we didn't have to make any decisions. Tanya & team already knew exactly what we wanted which allowed us to fully enjoy the day. I think that is what hiring a planner is all about. If I could leave 100 stars I would.

    Wedding Club Continental 12/10/2021

    I hired Southern Charm Events about 60 days out from the date of my daughter's wedding. I really thought I had a handle on things and as the wedding date kept approaching, my daughter and I knew I needed some help. Tanya is amazing to work with and I can't give her and Jess enough praise for the day of the wedding. From making sure everything was going smoothly through emails and texts and the rehearsal. Tanya made herself available whenever I needed any questions asked or any changes made. Communication with Tanya was very easy and she knows her craft. Jess was phenomenal on the wedding day. I can without a doubt say that Jess made everything seem so effortless. She was a Rockstar the whole night. My daughter's day was so perfect and that is all I ever wanted for her. I would recommend Southern Charm events 100 times over.

    Amazing Support Team!

    Jess and Tanya with Southern Charm Events were wonderful and helped us plan an amazing wedding! We had to postpone due to the Pandemic, and they were there every step of the way to put our minds at ease and work with our other vendors to help secure a new date. They had great local suggestions for other less common vendors that you think of last minute (ice, linens, etc.) and have great relationships with a lot of the key players in Jacksonville. Jess handled everything day of and thought through every scenario for us, making sure things moved smoothly. She was professional, kind and supportive and a blessing to have at our wedding!

    Absolute Perfection!

    We can’t say enough about Southern Charm Events! We had the best experience working with Tanya and her team. It was interesting to plan a Wedding in the middle of a pandemic, but our vendors made everything so easy and fun! Thank you for putting our minds at ease during the planning process and for true southern hospitality from start to finish.

    Jess Kress was our day of coordinator and she was phenomenal onsite. I’m in the event industry as well and was worried that I would be in “work mode” on the big day. Jess made me feel so relaxed and took care of every detail. It was an honor to have you be a part of our special day that we will cherish forever. 10 out of 10 would recommend Southern Charm Events for all of your event planning needs!

    Steampunk wedding at the Zoo

    My experience with Southern Charm Events, Tanya, Ashley and Andie were nothing but on top of their game. I had quite the unique wedding with a theme of Steampunk and then with the limitations of a wedding hot spot the Jacksonville Zoo. Having our wedding at the zoo on 3.14.20 means we literally have like an hour to set up before guest arrive. But with the savvy astuteness and quick draw mcgraw to react to any situation, Ashley pulled it off and not only I appreciated all her work, but more so did my Groom. He said having her there, the help from Andie through rentals and even Tanya in the background all made our day completely stress free and more so magical. TOP NOTCH!!

    Best wedding planner

    Southern Charm Events made our day absolutely perfect!! Tanya and her team could not have been more helpful and responsive during the entire wedding planning process. If she was unavailable to respond to a question, one of her team members got back to us right away. They use an amazing program called Aisle Planner, which helps you stay organized and on top of everything you can possibly need for your wedding day. Tanya's cheerful and energetic personality makes you feel at ease, as you know she is going to take good care of you. She sent us a detailed timeline with every single event that was taking place during our wedding weekend. We are from Chicago, so finding a planner for a destination wedding can be stressful, as you don't have the opportunity to get references from family or friends. However, my stress was never high, as once I met Tanya in person, I knew I could trust her to get the job done! We could not be more satisfied or happy with our wedding planner choice!!!

    Exceptional Wedding Planning

    Planning a wedding is very stressful, but imagine throwing a Pandemic into the mix and trying to coordinate everything with all of your guests, wedding venue cancelling on you, and difficult vendors... you need great help to navigate you and support you and that is exactly what I found with Southern Charm and more! Even before the Pandemic, Southern Charm was able to offer suggestions on every area of my wedding planning from vendor recommendations to hotels! Truly a one stop shop for planning and I could not recommend Tanya enough!

    Southern Charm Events Day of Event Coordinator

    Tanya and her staff were superb! Julie and Ashley were very helpful and always willing to answer questions. All of the staff were quick to offer recommendations and to accommodate our changes. The knowledge that everything would fall into place on my wedding day without having to worry because of Julie and Ashley made the entire experience priceless.

    The Elite Event Planner

    We started out planning our daughter’s wedding on our own, but it became clear we needed assistance. It had been over 30 years since we planned a wedding and we wanted to get this right for our only child, so on a friend’s recommendation, we hired Southern Charm Events. I wish we had done it sooner!

    Tanya Hendricks and her staff were professional, attentive and had some great ideas for things we never would have thought of. When we had some difficulty finding just the right vendors, her recommendations were spot on for the vision we had for the wedding. From florist, to DJ to videographer we couldn’t have been happier with her recommendations.

    When it came time for the wedding and reception, we wanted to be able to enjoy the event we had spent so much time and money planning and not have to deal with all the details the day of. Tanya and her staff handled absolutely everything. We had a couple unexpected and unpleasant issues that came up, that believe me, a parent of a bride doesn’t want to have to deal with, and Tanya and her staff handled everything with the utmost professionalism. She handled it way better than we ever would have.

    You’d be foolish not to hire this team. A very reasonable price to pay for peace of mind and excellent service and attention to detail for your event. Some of the best money we spent on this wedding was hiring Southern Charm! They delivered everything they promised and more and worked very well with all our vendors! Hire Southern Charm Events!

    Rentals and Day of Coordinating

    Southern Charm provided some of the rentals for our wedding day as well as our day of coordinator. They were such a pleasure to work with. All of the ladies I worked with were super organized, professional, and responsive. The quality of the rentals provided were in great condition and provided all of the beautiful touches we wanted for our day. And Julie, our day of coordinator was wonderful to work with. I was the bride who had 10,000 things going on, and she was always there to gently get me back on track to all the things that were outstanding. She made sure everything got setup the way we wanted and kept us on track throughout the night. I am so appreciative of their services and recommend them!

    Wedding Plann

    Tanya and the Southern Charm staff were simply the BEST. From my first consultation I knew they were going to be the perfect wedding planning staff for me. Tanya made me feel such at ease from the moment I walked into her door. She answered all of my questions and made my entire planning process not seem so overwhelming. She gave wonderful suggestions of vendors, ideas for decor, and overall just helped me every step of the way... and did I mention their rental inventory?! AMAZING products and the best quality! I was able to relax and soak in every minute of my wedding day because I knew everything was taken care of and in great hands. I chose the day-of coordination package, but they really were by my side throughout the entire process and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company! Tanya really takes the time to get to know her brides and she made sure our day was exactly what we wanted. SOUTHERN CHARM IS THE BEST IN JAX!

    I'm a convert - Amazing team!

    I was a Mom who thought I could coordinate everything myself and save some money but my husband convinced me I needed some help. I quizzed Tanya on why I needed her and she responded in her gracious manner about what she and her staff would do to help us through the process. Honestly, I must admit I still wasn't convinced but I gave in. Today I will tell you it was the best decision we made. Southern Charm provided us with an online planning tool that was exactly what we needed to keep track of addresses and all that goes with planning a wedding.
    They sent reminders for specific target dates which kept us on track. Tanya put in more hours on the day of the wedding than any other vendor and kept everyone on track. She and her staff are amazing to work with. They provided suggestions, came with an emergency kit that proved to be very useful. and had a plan B in place if needed. I can't praise Tanya enough. I don't know what we would have done without her and her team. It is obvious that Tanya loves what she does.
    Another plus is that Tanya has a huge rental inventory. I can't imagine anyone wanting something she doesn't have. She also has a great network of vendors that she can recommend. I used several that she recommended and was very happy.

    Tanya was our All Star Quarter Back!

    Tanya was absolutely amazing. We had a fairly large wedding of 150 people that my mother thought she was going to be able to plan and coordinate all by herself. My husband and I knew all along that would be a disaster and we wouldn't get a wedding that reflected us if we would even got one all at. So as soon as he proposed we were on the hunt for a wedding planner.
    I somehow stumbled upon Southern Charm on google and honestly the name is what drew me in. I wanted a simply southern, slightly rustic, wedding and it sounded like Tanya knew the true meaning of southern. It turned out to be our best decision! Tanya and her team are so talented and experienced that she quickly became our Quarter Back. She would give us options of some of the best vendors she knew and were in our price range and set meeting up with them so we could pick from those few. Through this we came up with an all star team of vendors! Every one of them was a pleasure to work with.
    One of the best things was going to an expo with her. She would send us to certain vendors' booths and we could ask her how we felt about any that we saw and she knew pretty much all of them. We found half of our vendors that day.
    In the months leading up the online planning assistant Southern Charm, Aisle Planner, provides was a huge help. It gave me one simple place to look at everything, even on the go. The interface is fairly easy and you will use it long past the wedding as an address book.
    On the wedding day Tanya really shined. We had drama with the rain threating but she managed to get us a tent last minute and it may have even turned out better with it. With the team of vendors she curated there really wasn't much to worry about so I was pretty relaxed on the day of. I knew she would handle what needed to be done. I got to enjoy my day and soak every bit of it in. We were ahead of schedule all day long.
    She also had Heather Canada with her and she was amazing as well. She made sure I had everything I needed at the reception from making sure I got some of my cocktail hour food, to finding my change of shoes, to making sure I had wine for my champagne toasts. She made it very easy to just focus on my husband and everyone that came to see us.
    I could go on all day long about what a wonderful experience I had with Southern Charm but I still can't put in to words what it was like to have this woman in our corner. She's honest, experienced, and just a little bit scary with how good she is. She genuinely cared about us and wanted to see us happy on our special day. Not to mention, she's big dog friendly, which was a must for us because our 80lb pitbull was our Dog of Honor.
    We needed Tanya in our lives for this wedding and so do you. She will make sure you get the wedding you've been dreaming of, even if you're not totally sure what that is yet.

    Best planner on the planet!

    Tanya was so amazing! My wife and I live in Augusta Georgia, planning for a Jacksonville wedding, so planning would’ve been extremely difficult as we only go down once a month. I can’t even imagine the chaos that would’ve ensured without Tanya and her business. She made herself available, her communication is top notch, and she kept us in line in terms of deadlines with reminders and frequent meetings. Her associate Heather was great as well, she helped us out so much in the day of while Tanya was running around handling set up and what not! Anyone who is questioning whether or not you need a wedding planner, let me tell you that it makes the process so much smoother and you will be so happy you did it. And if you need a wedding planner, look no further then Tanya and Southern Charm. By far the best planner in Jax, and arguably, the planet.

    Amazing Planner and Amazing Rentals!

    Tanya and the Southern Charm Events team were a dream to work with. I hired them for both wedding planning and event rentals. The last days leading up to the wedding I had so many people telling me I looked so calm considering I was getting married soon... and that's because I was calm, and not worried about a thing! I actually got to enjoy my wedding because I knew everything was handled with care and excellence.
    Our wedding day was everything we envisioned and more. My husband says he felt like we were in a movie. :) That is all thanks to Tanya! We couldn't be happier.

    I had a friend tell me to hire a day of wedding planner so that I could spend the time with my daughter on her big day. I'm so glad I hired Tanya and her crew. I loved the online programs Tanya uses to help keep things organized and to make sure we are all on the same page I am a very organized person and this was right up my alley. I was so thankful to have Tanya on the day of my daughter's wedding. She was very professional and took care of flaws made by other vendors. Her keen eye helped us fine tune some small details that made a huge impact on the final look of the wedding. I would definitely recommend Tanya to be a part of your planning details!

    Used Southern Charm's chair rental option for a small baby shower this past weekend. Andie was truly a delight to work with and the chairs were great!

    Tanya has now done three weddings for me family, and all of them were fantastic! My sisters' did the partial planning, where they have Southern Charm help out about a few weeks' prior to the wedding. I did the full planning services, and I highly recommend it. Tanya is so knowledgeable of the industry, and she knows so many of the vendors in Jacksonville - many of my vendors were relieved to hear I was working with her! Tanya is very responsive, and if she's busy, she has other people on her team that can quickly help you out. My research time was minimal with finding vendors, as she already knows the best to work with. Tanya put together a budget for us, recommended countless vendors (all of whom were amazing), was able to help us get a few cheaper rates on some vendors, and she put together a wedding timeline to the minute. It is such a relief to have Tanya and her team take care of everything that day, so that I can truly enjoy the day with my husband, and dance the night away with my guests. Tanya and her team are absolutely worth the investment!
