"On our wedding day, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Emma—and wow, where do I even begin? Emma is truly a gem. She is kind, calm, incredibly organized, and one of the hardest-working individuals I’ve ever met. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything flowed seamlessly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every magical moment of our day. Her presence made our wedding not only stress-free but genuinely unforgettable."

"Hiring SOUTHERN BASH and working with owner Kari and Emma Chapman was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding. Emma is the perfect blend of professional, creative, organized, and genuinely caring. From day one, she went above and beyond to understand our vision, our personalities, and what mattered most to us — and then she brought it all to life more beautifully than we could have ever imagined.

Emma handled every detail with grace and confidence. She kept us stress-free, communicated clearly, and made even the most overwhelming tasks feel effortless. On the wedding day, she orchestrated everything flawlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing — every moment flowed perfectly, every vendor was coordinated seamlessly, and every detail was executed with her signature calm, polished touch.

What truly sets Emma apart is her heart. She treated our wedding as if it were her own, and her passion shows in everything she does. She made us feel supported, celebrated, and cared for every step of the way.

If you are considering hiring a wedding planner, do yourself a favor and hire Southern Bash and ask for Emma Chapman. She is extraordinary, and our day was perfect because of her. We are forever grateful."

"When our daughter wanted to get married in Texas (I live in TN), I knew we would need help. We hired Southern Bash, and it was the best decision we could have made, and most definitely the best money spent! Cindy was exceptional! She is the most professional, kind and sincere person I have ever met. She is organized, thorough, efficient... I could go on and on. The day of the wedding, Cindy and her team handled everything, and I was able to enjoy the day as the mother of the Bride! I could not ask for better service, and I am so thankful we found Cindy and Southern Bash!"

"Hiring Southern Bash for our wedding day was the BEST decision we made. Our previous wedding planner plan fell through, and we reached out to Southern Bash 6 months before our wedding day. We were so nervous about working with another planner--and then we had our first meeting with CHARIS!!!! Since day one, she made us feel at peace, and she gained our trust almost immediately. She checked in with us often, had great recommendations, and was such an awesome sounding board when I needed a second opinion. My husband and I did a bulk of the wedding decisions on our own, and Charis helped translate our ideas and wishes into reality. The timelines she gave us helped us stay on track, and she was always there for a pep talk whenever we felt the pressure. And don't even get us started on our wedding day. Charis, Kristin, and Heidi were complete superheroes. We had two different venues, so you can imagine the chaos they had to tame!!! We felt so loved and cared for by them, and they helped us remember the little things on our wedding day (like remembering to drink water, LOL). We seriously could not have asked for a better Southern Bash team. Aside from their amazing professionalism, these women were just KIND. That's what's different about Southern Bash--you're not just working with good planners; you're working with good people. It's obvious right from the start. I am SO thankful I came across their business, because our wedding would have looked totally different without them. I'll be recommending Southern Bash to everyone I know for as long as I'm able. THANK YOU, SOUTHERN BASH!!!!"

"My wedding was the most perfect day and a lot of that credit goes to Southern Bash. Kari helped the entire planning process go smoothly and allowed me to feel 100% confident on my wedding day. I am forever grateful to have had them on my side on my wedding day!"

"I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with Southern Bash! I worked with Caroline as my planner and I could not be happier, she is the absolute best. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process- her energy and excitement are exactly what you want in someone who is helping plan your special day. It was like working with a best friend, and I truly miss our meetings together.
I don’t know what I would have done without Caroline- her industry knowledge and vendor recommendations were top notch, the wedding day was absolutely seamless and perfect, and she did so much and kept everything on track beautifully! Kristen was there on the day of and was fabulous as well, the two of them took care of every detail down to helping me change my shoes.
I highly recommend Southern Bash for your wedding, you will have zero regrets!"

"As the mother of the bride, and living out of town, hiring Kari with Southern Bash was the best decision! She is knowledgeable, organized, and put us in contact with some of the best vendors in the area. Her timelines leading up to, and the day of the wedding kept everything, and everyone on track! Because of Kari, and her fabulous staff ( I like to call them The Dream Team) the entire wedding day ran smoothly. She and her staff managed everything! I was able to enjoy the day with my daughter from start to finish! I cannot thank Southern Bash enough for helping curate the perfect wedding day for my daughter. I highly recommend Southern Bash if you want to have the most beautiful, stress free wedding day!"

"Wow!! Southern bash was one of the best decisions for my wedding day, other than my amazing husband. We married in April! Cindy knocked everything out of the park! Not only was she our planner, but she quickly became a friend. She was loved by everyone she talked to and knew how to get things done. Once Cindy took over, my planning stress was eliminated. Our special day went so smooth thanks to her and her assistant. I seriously could not name one mess up! If you are looking for a planner, look no further - your hunt is over! Thank you for making my wedding dreams come true!"
