Happy Customers

From mother of the bride, Pam, "Kari Loth from Southern Bash was a terrific help for our wedding. We met Kari early in the process of planning a wedding in 4 months. Though we had all the vendors secured before our first meeting, Kari knew most of them and quickly met the others. She listened to Nikki’s goal for the wedding and totally embraced it. Over the coming weeks, she answered questions, sent tips/timelines, followed up with us and our vendors. The day of the wedding she and her assistant were AMAZING. After we unloaded the car, she double-checked how we wanted the venue set up and said “GO RELAX and ENJOY THE DAY”. Everything was perfect - it was just how Nikki had described what she wanted. Kari worked great with all the vendors and interacted well with the bridal party. We couldn’t have enjoyed the day more. Kari and Southern Bash are the best. She made my daughter’s dream come true on her special day!"

 Stacie Ross, Mother of the Groom - "Kari Loth with Southern Bash is phenomenal! If you are looking for a wedding planner who will not miss a detail then look no further!! She was on top of every vendor to ensure they stayed on schedule. She has so many ideas to share and her knowledge of this industry is top notch! She planned my son and new daughter-in-laws wedding rehearsal dinner and it was amazing! I couldn't have done it without her. Love her energy! Thank you Kari!"

Bride, Mary Alice, writes, "I was able to have my dream wedding thanks to the hard work and dedication of Kari and her assistants. I reached out to her back in December of 2018 to be my wedding planner. From then on, she was organized, helped us find vendors, helped us form a budget, and best of all; made the wedding run smoothly with no hiccups. This allowed my husband and I to completely relax and enjoy the best day of our lives! I would recommend Kari to anyone! Thank you Kari!"

Mother of the Bride, Lorainne, says, " Kari is AWESOME!! As the mother of the bride, I highly recommend this service! Many people asked me the day of the wedding why I was so calm - I told everyone it was because of Kari and her team. To all the mothers of the bride - do you want to enjoy your daughter’s wedding? If your answer is yes, contact Kari ASAP!!"

Lisa, mother of the groom says, "Kari @ Southern Bash was incredible. She handled all of my needs long-distance, with expert attention to detail! She was so responsive and very professional! I would highly recommend her for any event you are planning!"

Dindra,  mother of the bride quotes, "When my daughter got engaged last year Kari with Southern Bash was one of my first calls. She immediately jumped into action and began helping me with all the crazy details of organizing a wedding with a bride and groom that live out of state. She helped connect me with wonderful vendors, was very easy to work with and very attentive with any of my questions or needs. She truly made my daughter's wedding day a day I could enjoy! I would absolutely recommend Kari and her team without hesitation and I am so grateful for all they did to make my daughter's day so special!!!"

Bride, MeKenna, says, "I have nothing but amazing things to say about Southern Bash! They were absolutely amazing and so personable. I felt like they were a part of my wedding party, but in the best kind of way because they made sure everything was running so smoothly. With all of the craziness of the wedding day, I was so thankful to have someone who knew exactly what was going on and was helping me have the best day possible. I don't think I could give a better recommendation than that I have for Southern Bash."

Bride, Lainey - "Holy Moly- Kari with Southern Bash was SO super amazing. From the first meeting, her attention to detail, access to quality (cost effective) vendors to the event itself...... she managed every single detail and contact with ease, elegance, confidence, and a charming smile and character. We had a little hiccup with a vendor, and Kari stepped in without me knowing and got us on track, and calmed my nerves. The day of the event she was more than the best Fairy Godmother! She was on top of every single detail; the band, the cake deliver, the acrylic signs, the room set up, placement of menus and folding of napkins.... tiny touches that I would have never thought to ask for! I have high expectations- and Kari blew all of them out of the water! Southern Bash will host any future event we hold. THANK YOU for a magical day!"

Caitlin, bride, gushes, "Kari and her ENTIRE team were a Godsend. My *now* husband and I were engaged in March of 2021 and got married in October the same year. I bought a book online thinking I had it all, "figured out." Absolutely not! I was introduced to Kari through my matron of honor's mom. They were band parents together, and with me being a band director, we already had a special bond! :) Kari went above and beyond to serve myself, my family, and all of my guests who attended the wedding ceremony and reception. Living 7 hours from the wedding location would have made things stressful, but Kari and her team had it handled, and I mean HANDLED. The services at Southern Bash are worth every penny. I feel like I have met a life-long friend and sister in Christ. Southern Bash, thank you for making our wedding day memorable, stress-free, and beautiful! God Bless you all!!

From ecstatic mother ofd the bride, Lydia, "Hire her!! Just do it!! Kari is worth her weight in gold! She helped us pull off the perfect wedding in 4 months, and we were clueless as to all that was involved.  

What you get? Professional! Organization is her gift!! Kari has so much knowledge and expertise; she knows how to guide you in helping you create your perfect wedding. She’s a text away and has the answers!! Let me tell you we were endlessly asking questions. Kari was prompt and pleasant with responses, and genuinely wants to help. If family members differ on opinions, she can settle it as everyone respects her knowledge and opinions.  

Personality: positive, up beat, instills confidence that you can do this when you are stressed and uncertain; truly makes you feel special as if you’re her only wedding. I know she juggles many brides yet we never felt she was too busy for us.  

Resources: Oh her endless list of resources! All the vendor recommendations were outstanding and a pleasure to work with.  

Freedom from Stress: The week and day of the wedding Kari and her team shines!!!….She contacts vendors and all their set up needs. Works with them when they arrive plus sets up your DIY projects while you are enjoying getting ready with your wedding party. You show up and everything is decorated and ready!! There is SO much behind the scenes going on; we had no idea how many! She keeps the entire event flowing while you are free to enjoy all the special moments of the day.  

We have 2 more potential weddings in our family. I completely trust Kari/Southern bash and no doubt will be our first call!"

 "I am forever thankful to Kari with Southern Bash for helping me bring my wedding dreams to life! She made every minute of the wedding planning process so seamless and FUN! Our rehearsal and wedding day were absolutely perfect and I am so thankful to Kari for all of her hard work in making it the absolute perfect weekend! HIGHLY recommend!" - Lauren, giddy bride

Tim, Groom, says, "Seriously a life saver! We would not have been able to have this event without you- the last minute adjustments and changes were amazing, and the night went perfectly from all of your help. Can not recommend Kari enough as a wedding coordinator, there is no one better out there!" 

"Planning a wedding out of state was a little intimidating. Once we hired Kari it was stress free! She had so many good recommendations for vendors and suggestions for details to make the wedding and the reception so memorable. We highly recommend Kari as an event planner. Her experience in event planning was invaluable. ❤️" - Anne, Mother of the Bride

Bride, Katy, says " Kari aka our wedding savior, was simply the best decision we could have made while planning our wedding hands down! From Day 1 she was responsive, helpful at securing AMAZING vendors and really helped make our day as smooth and seamless as it possibly could be despite planning around COVID-19. I don't what we would have done without her and I recomend her to anyone I meet who'splanning on tying the knot. If you're getting married in the Dallas area, and you want a fun, stress free, enjoyable wedding (who doesn't?) Southern Bash is a must.

Connie, mom of Aggie bride, said, "Southern Bash did a fantastic job with our kids' wedding. Kari has great ideas and resources for planning an event. She was extremely helpful before and during the wedding. The day ran smoothly because Kari kept us on our wedding timeline. This Aggie knew how to help make it a beautiful day for Haley and Garrett. Thank You Southern Bash!!"

Haley, thankful bride says, "Thank you Southern Bash!!! I cannot believe how smoothly my wedding day went and it was such a blessing. Kari and her team kept my guest-filled and event-packed wedding right on schedule. She was always there to help with whatever I needed and made sure that all my wedding dreams came true. The planning tips and vendor connections she has made the planning process less stressful too. From one Aggie to another, thank you and Gig' Em!!"

"Can I give more than 5 stars? Because Kari and the team at Southern Bash deserve them!! Planning a wedding is an incredibly stressful and emotional experience, even more so when your family lives out of town and there's a global pandemic. Kari and her team knocked it out of the park. 

She helped me find the vendors that made our wedding vision come to life! The entire day went so smoothly and my husband and I were able to soak up every moment because we knew that Kari and her team were handling all of the little details. 

Aside from saying yes to your person, hiring Southern Bash for your wedding is the BEST decision you'll ever make. Not only did we have an amazing wedding, full of fun details and precious memories, we made a lifelong friend." - Ann, happy bride.

"Kari was an essential part of making our wedding & wedding planning a success. Her attention to detail, her various resources, and large network of amazing people in the industry were the reasons why our wedding ran so smoothly. For nervous and anxious brides, she was a calm presence who had answers to all the questions- this isn’t her first rodeo! I had a dress “emergency” 15 days before our big day. After a long day of trying figure out a plan to fix my dress and canceling my bridal photo shoot, we reached out to Kari at 10pm on a Saturday night Kari contacted a tailor telling her that she had a bride with a dress emergency. Kari was able to make me an appointment with the tailor that following Monday! Southern Bash was truly a blessing throughout the whole wedding process! She also helped me prank my groom with a first look with his best man- Kari and her team are simply the best!" -Jenna, happy bride

"Southern Bash is the most professional organization I have worked with. Kari Loth is a smart business woman with a passion for her work! Kari listened, planned and had a solution for all aspects of my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding day. Kari’s vendor list is all encompassing everything or she recommended far exceeded our expectations! Kari’s communication and updates were timely and succinct. Kari kept the wedding plans on schedule and in most cases, ahead of schedule. When my daughter-in-law’s dress was altered incorrectly 10 days before the wedding, Kari contacted The Alt Shop owner, Melissa, on a Saturday night and secured us an appointment for that Monday. The dress was fixed and disaster was averted!
 

Our wedding date was February 5, 2022 – one day after an ice storm. The rehearsal dinner had to be relocated, Kari vendors for the wedding as some were unsure if they could safely travel to the venue, the ceremony had to be moved indoors and many more items how to change due to the weather. Kari and her team at Southern bash handled all the changes without batting an eye. 

There’s no doubt this wedding was perfect because of Southern Bash. If you know someone or you are getting married, contact Southern bash. If you do, I can promise you will have the wedding of your dreams without any stress" - Nancy, Mom of the groom

"From the first conversation with Kari, I knew I had picked the perfect wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding! When I say I had no worries with her in charge, I mean just that! My daughter had the best day! Everything was perfect and all because of Kari’s abilities. She is an outstanding planner, organizer of chaos, and sounding board. AND the best part... she does it all with her sweet southern charm and sweet smile. I recommend Kari everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. If I could give infinity stars I would. Thank you Kari for making my baby’s day so magical, it wouldn’t have happened without you! PS, she has some awesome assistants too. Gabby and Marin we love ya! ❤️❤️"
XOXO - Noelle Osborn, mother of the bride

"I cannot say enough good things about Kari. From the moment we met her, we knew that she was exactly the coordinator we were looking for. She came to our first meeting prepared, and it was evident that she had already done her research about our vendors. Kari is detailed, organized, communicative, enthusiastic, and goes above and beyond to make sure that your day will go smoothly. It also helps that she is so much fun to work with! I was able to enjoy my wedding day stress-free, and it was all because of Kari. I highly recommend her for all wedding planning needs." - Kat, bride

"I seriously do not even know where to begin with Kari and her services. Kari is a true Rockstar wedding planner. She was in constant communication with my wife and I the entire process. She thought of things we did not and was with us every steep of the way. At one point in our reception our photographer left and Kari picked up the camera and started taking pictures. She will do anything to make your day special. I could not recommend her enough. You must go with her if you are thinking of booking a wedding coordinator." - Matt Brontoli, groom

"Kari was truly the most incredible human during the planning of our wedding. We decided to do a short engagement and Kari helped us plan our entire wedding for 175 guests in less than 3 months (I know that is no easy task!). She had a great list of vendors that helped make my life so easy, I honestly barely had to lift a finger during the planning process!  I don’t do well with a lot of options (stresses me out) and I told her this ahead of time… she was great at listening to my wants and needs and gave amazing vendor options when needed that didn’t overwhelm me! 

She was so organized and was great at helping to keep us on budget!  Kari and her assistant, Jordan, helped with all the details and coordination on the day of the wedding and honestly they made me feel like a princess. They were literally hand writing on acrylic signs for additional fun decorations around the bar area and guest book area at our wedding and running around making sure EVERYTHING was perfect! (IT WAS!) Their attention to detail was impeccable.  

Kari was so great to work with and has the happiest and most bubbly personality ever, I wish I could just keep her in my pocket! I would HIGHLY recommend Southern Bash to anyone getting married or planning an event! Now I just need to find an excuse to use them again soon for something fun… hehe 😀" -Chelsey, happy bride.

"Kari with Southern Bash was more than I ever hoped for in a wedding planner. She was extremely detail oriented, professional, made me feel like my wedding was the most important thing and was always on top of everything. I questioned getting a wedding planner because I am really organized, particular about things, and have a check list for my check list but I could NOT have done this without Southern Bash. The photo booth we hired for our reception broke a few hours before our ceremony, and Kari had another company there within a couple hours up and ready to go when the reception started. She didn't ask me or worry me with it, but took care of it. I am extremely grateful for all that Southern Bash did to make our wedding day the most magical day of our lives. I would hire Southern Bash if I did it all over again, and would pay any amount because the value that we received was worth more than any price tag." -Ashley, Bride

 "I was in the early stages of planning a rehearsal dinner for a large crowd. Immediately, I became overwhelmed and knew I needed to get some help. I found Southern Bash and Kari Loth. I picked Southern Bash because I loved the name, not knowing that I would get the best service you could possibly get. Kari went way beyond my expectations! She thought of every detail, had so many ideas, stayed within my budget, kept me stress free, contacted all vendors and stayed in contact with them until the event, and so so much more. And she always returned my calls in a timely manner. She even stayed until the party was done. I honestly didn't have to do anything except enjoy the night. I never expected that! If you are looking to host a wedding or a rehearsal dinner, don't hesitate to call Kari. I promise you will not regret it! I will definitely use her for my daughter's wedding when she gets married." -Mary, mom of groom

"WOW....I cannot thank Southern Bash enough for all that they have done for me and my husband- they absolutely welcomed me with open arms and worked within my budget to make our wedding beautiful. Not only did we gain an INCREDIBLE wedding planner with Cindy, we gained an EXCEPTIONAL friend. We are forever grateful for everything Cindy has done for us in making our wedding day PERFECT and EXTRA SPECIAL. Meeting Cindy in person was the icing on the cake. She worked with me with such love, integrity, and total commitment in making the wedding planning journey that much special. Cindy is the Renaissance Woman that DID IT ALL. She made planning 10 times easier while I was working full time and out of town. She paid attention to all the details. The list can go on and on. I am just overall impressed and I highly recommend Southern Bash! Thank you, Kari and Cindy and the team for making our wedding a beautiful day that we will always remember. Many blessings to you both and Southern Bash!" - Miyuki, happy bride.

"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!" - Julianna, fun-loving bride

 Bride, Alli, gushes, "My wedding would not have happened without the help of Cindy! As the oldest in a family that was experiencing a lot of life changes during the months leading up to the wedding, I didn’t know who to talk to or how to even start planning. Cindy with Southern Bash was a life saver— She helped me know exactly what I needed to do, when I needed to do it, and who could help me do it. She kept me so organized and always made me feel in control and right on track in the planning process. The day of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about anything because I knew Cindy had it all taken care of and would make sure things ran smoothly. There isn’t one thing I would change about my wedding day, and I attribute a lot of that to having Southern Bash be a part of my wedding experience. As someone who has gone through this whole process, I will always recommend having a wedding planner to anyone who asks me! It is seriously a game changer, and I couldn’t thank Cindy more for her help to make my wedding the day I had always dreamed of."
