Lauren L. Sent on 10/14/2024Denitra was a miracle worker!
Denitra and Southern Sparkle planned my dream day. I truly do not think I would have survived wedding planning without her. Every vendor meeting, tasting, and tour, Denitra was right there. Every question or concern, Denitra was a text or phone call away. There were problems Denitra solved without me even knowing so to not stress me out!
Denitra also helped us plan our rehearsal dinner which took a large amount of stress off of our plate as well. Every single piece of our wedding day exceeded our expectations and was truly beautiful. I will forever recommend Denitra and SouthernSparkle to anyone planning a wedding. She had a plan, a backup plan, and a backup backup plan for everything to ensure our day was perfect. She helped us stay on budget and plan the most perfect day. -

We could not recommend Krisy and her team at Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning more! Krisy went above and beyond to make sure all of our many questions were answered thoroughly as we were planning. We planned our wedding over the course of 2 years and over these past two years, Krisy and her team eased all of our anxiety over the many details necessary to make a wedding go smoothly. Having someone who knew the Nashville area and Nashville wedding scene was important to us, as neither one of us live in the Nashville area. Having Krisy as a planner was vital for us, as she recommended some amazing vendors and Nashville locations we ended up going with that we wouldn't have otherwise known about or come across had we not had her as a planner. Also having a planner who understood our timeless, classic elegance vision that we wanted for our wedding was key for us too, and Krisy met and exceeded our expectations with bringing our vision to life. Every detail was perfect on our wedding day because of her and her team! She was a joy to work with and we could not recommend her for your wedding enough! -

I can not say enough good things about Denitra Barnes with Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning. As a venue owner, I see weddings that do not utilize an experienced planner and the bride and mother-of-the-bride are always stressed and pulled in a hundred different directions. I was so thankful my own daughter wanted to hire Southern Sparkle for her wedding, because I had witnessed them in action. The day of the wedding we were in the bridal suite having hair & make-up done, when we came out, the venue had been transformed into my daughter’s vision. Denitra and her team were absolutely outstanding and I will sing their praises to everyone. -

I was so glad that Denitra Barnes, one of the planners at Southern Sparkle, was available and able to assist us with month of coordination for our wedding in October. Denitra is extremely kind, upbeat, and positive - a great person to have by your side on your special day. I could tell from the first time we talked that we could be great friends. She worked so hard on our wedding day to make sure everything was seamless and perfect down to the minute. My bridal party and vendors were so impressed with her timeline! Tori, her assistant, was also wonderful, and helped save the day several times, whether it was bringing my forgotten bouquet to our first look or bustling my dress numerous times. Both Denitra and Tori have sweet and calming personalities that definitely helped relieve my stress as a bride. They are also a ton of fun! My husband and I would highly recommend hiring Southern Sparkle and these special ladies to make all your wedding plans and dreams come to life!! -

Matthew A. Sent on 11/17/2022They made our day so perfect!!! We can’t thank Southern Sparkle and Events enough for how amazing they were planning our wedding and coordinating it!!
We are so incredibly thankful that we had the Southern Sparkle team to help us through every step of the way with our wedding planning and on our wedding day. As soon as we got engaged we knew exactly who we wanted as a wedding planner. Working in the wedding industry ourselves we have had the opportunity to work alongside Krisy at many weddings and have seen the way she brings calm in the storm, navigates through all of the wedding day hurdles that may arise and pulls everything together seemingly effortlessly while making the brides feel relaxed and at ease. Every time I see her at a wedding I am so happy that she is there! When planning our own wedding I honestly didn’t realize how many things there are to think about and how many loose ends there are to pull together. With Krisy as our planner I felt like everything was handled. She answered all of my questions and truly did an incredible job of making our wedding day perfect from the big decisions all the way down to all the last little details. If you are getting married grab her if you can! Best decision ever! -

HIRE A PLANNER!!
We had the pleasure of working with Tori and let me just say she was god sent! From the beginning of planning to the very end of our wedding night she was there every step of the way! ( and she Is cute as a button!! ) she danced the night away with us and even helped me bustle my dress after the ceremony. She also took the time to make sure my chapel doors opened at the very second iwanted them to open during the song I walked down the aisle for that SUPER DRAMATIC ENTRANCE I WAS WANTING! She and I became so close. She took all the worries away and can’t recommend this company and bunch of certified wedding planners enough!! Thank you Tori!! You have a friend for life!! -

We were so thankful to have Tori as our wedding planner! She was very thorough, and knowledgeable about everything that we had wished for on our wedding day and the days leading up to it! She’s so talented with everything she does, from signs, to directions, and even some last minute restitching on my dress! She’s a planner but also a calligrapher, a designer, and your go to for last minute changes. She’s was wonderful to have and friendly to all. Thanks so much Tori! We love you! -

Cathy G. Sent on 07/08/2020Excellent Wedding Planner in Southern Sparkle!
We worked with Krisy Thomas at Southern Sparkle Wedding & Event Planning for my daughter's wedding and reception. I had observed Krisy at other weddings I had attended and knew she would be one of my first calls when my daughter became engaged. From our first meeting, I was impressed by her professionalism, preparedness, kindness and genuine love of wedding event planning. Throughout our year-long process, Krisy was available to answer questions, guide us in the right direction and make recommendations. Our wedding was one of many affected by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. When we made the difficult decision to move from a large buffet reception with a band to a smaller seated dinner, Krisy jumped in to help us rearrange rentals, entertainment, and other details. On the wedding day itself, I didn't want to worry about anything and I did not! When I walked into the reception room early that day, it was all set and ready for our guests. The intricate process of first looks, gifts, notes, personal belongings were all handled with care. The ceremony, with a large wedding party, was flawless. And the reception was perfect. I was able to enjoy my family and guests and not worry about a thing. Krisy and her team are really the best. I have and will continue to recommend to any of my friends! -

The BEST decision for my daughter's wedding was to hire Southern Sparkle Wedding Event Planning!!!
I was the Mother who thought she could do it herself! I was very WRONG! Hiring Krisy Thomas, owner of Southern Sparkle, was the BEST decision I made for my daugther's perfect wedding! Southern Sparkle was always available, never missed a detail, and handled every detail perfectly, from the smallest to the most important! This was the BEST investment overall for our wedding experience and very affordable! Krisy and her team became much more than planners, they shared in the joy and desire for perfection for every detail. They provided honest and helpful suggestions every step of the way. I did not have to follow up with any vendor, Krisy did it all! The wedding day was perfect and relaxed! I thought it would be chaotic, but not with Southern Sparkle! They arrived early and stayed until the very end, making sure every moment was just as my daughter had dreamed. Throughout the day, Krisy was always there cuing the timeline perfectly!
My heart is full of love and gratitude for Southern Sparkle and Krisy Thomas! This was the day our family will treasure forever thanks to Krisy and her team!
Mykie Anderson, Very Thankful Mother of the Bride -

I would highly recommend hiring Madison McGhee with Southern Sparkle as your wedding planner. Madison made my daughter's wedding day go so smoothly. I had never hired a planner in the past and now I see that I should have! I was able to spend time enjoying the day instead of worrying with the details of running around trying to set things up, etc. It was worth every penny I spent to have her expertise. She gave us advice and suggestions during our meetings which were really helpful and appreciated. If I ever had a question, I knew Madison could answer it or give me her opinion. Madison was so friendly and she goes above and beyond what she is hired to do. She wants the day to be special for her clients because she truly cares for them. It was easy to see this throughout the process of working with her. Madison and her staff are so professional. She knew most of our vendors because she has worked with them many times in the past. She coordinated the schedule for the wedding day for all the wedding party as well as all the vendors. She verified with the various vendors of when they were coming to the venue and coordinated all the last minute time changes of the various vendors. I did not have to worry with any of those details! She was always available and easy to find on the big day! She was THE BEST and I would ask for her by name when hiring Southern Sparkle! She made sure nobody bothered the bride on her day for anything that they needed. She was there for anything the bridal party/vendors needed. She made my daughter's wedding day wonderful and this mom is forever grateful to her and her staff that I was able to enjoy the day instead of stressing over all the details! Call her today... you will not regret it! -

Best Team Around!
Krisy and Southern Sparkle go above and beyond to make your wedding day visions become a reality. This team is incredibly professional and hard working. I found them to be very communicative and flexible. I appreciated all the work that they did behind the scenes leading up to the wedding, but I especially loved the sense of calm and control that they brought into my big day. I'm very grateful I chose Krisy and Southern Sparkle! -

After I got engaged and began the wedding planning process, I knew I would need help. I wanted a wedding planner so I could truly enjoy this time with my mom and her presence on my wedding day. Man- did Madison, my Southern Sparkle wedding planner, exceed ALL expectations! From the first meeting, I knew she was the person for the job. I can’t put into words just how amazing and important she was and still is to our family now! Madison was kind and informative. She brought allllll the creativity and fun while keeping my vision in mind- only making it better! She was efficient and so timely with responses. Her healthy relationships with all the vendors made communication with them easier. She went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect! Also, she treated my entire family, wedding party, and guests so kindly. Not only were we in love with her, but they were too! Because of Madison, I wasn’t the least bit stressed out or worried on my wedding weekend. I knew she had me; and if anything did go wrong, she would fix it before I ever knew about it. I remember being worried about not clicking or feeling like I was working with a stranger planning one of the most important days of my life, but she felt like family. She really cared to make my day as perfect as she made her own, and I firmly believe it. Not to mention, she was the one who recommended and gave us the perfect vendors to bring my dream to life! I will forever be grateful to her and Southern Sparkle for their business. They are worth every penny! -

Krisy and her team are AMAZING!
She was the first person I hired for my wedding (2 years in advance because I was not letting my date get taken. ) I seriously could not have done it without her. She was there every step of the way.
She helps you with all the decisions leading up to the wedding, so that when the day gets there, you, as the bride, do not have to lift a finger for your day to come together.
I trusted Krisy 10000%. All I had to do on wedding day was show up and get ready.
I look back on my wedding day and I always say: “I would not have changed a single thing. It was perfect in every way.” And all credit belongs to Krisy with Southern Sparkle.
From planning, to decorating, to the wedding day timeline. IT. WAS. FLAWLESS.

Best decision I’ve ever made!
I am so happy I hired Krisy as my wedding planner! She was amazing to work with. From our first meeting, I knew she would be perfect to help me plan my wedding. Krisy and her team are very professional and you can clearly tell they know everything about the wedding industry. Planning a big wedding can be super stressful so it was important to me I had a rock star wedding planner on my side. With helping me stay on a budget, pick my vendors, communicate with vendors, bring my vision to life and take all the stress away from me. For example, I found it really hard to try to get ahold of most vendors but when I would ask Krisy if she could help me, they would get back to her immediately. My entire wedding day I got to relax and enjoy the day with my family and friends. Krisy handled taking care of set up, tear down, keeping up with my gifts, marriage license, all my crazy groomsmen, kept us all on time and so much more. Honestly I have no clue how I would plan my wedding with out her. Thank you so much Krisy and the southern sparkle team! You are simply the best! -
