Tanya Hendricks aka Southern Charm Events aka Wedding Mama is truly the best! When I tell you that you need to hire her and her team for all of your event planning - especially for your wedding! From booking my venue to finding all our vendors to mailing our wedding invitation suites and making sure our wedding was the best day ever - she does it all! We booked her as our Full Wedding Planner and I don't know what I would have done without her! Whatever you need she is there for you - she made all the stress melt away! She truly became a part of our family and my only regret is that she can only plan our wedding once! The first step after you get engaged is to hire Southern Charm Events!!!
Southern Charm Events is fantastic. Tanya was attentive and had great communication skills- we had several meetings up until she connected us with Carla- who was our day of coordinator. Carla was absolutely amazing. I was in constant communication with her, and she was beyond patient with me. She was fantastic at answering any questions I had, and gave amazing tips and recommendations. Carla ensured that both our rehearsal, and ceremony ran smoothly. I trusted her completely to make sure my wedding day was perfect (and it was)!! Southern Charm Events is fantastic, and I feel so lucky that Carla was in charge of our big day.
I 100% recommend Southern Charm, especially Tanya to help with everything planning and Carla for day of wedding services. They are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, accommodating, problem-solving, and so much more - all of the things to look for in someone to help plan and execute your wedding day.
At first, I didn't really want to pay for a planner, but my venue required it and now I am a full believer that every bride should hire one. Especially Carla from Southern Charm!! Makes planning and day of so much less stressful to be organized and go in knowing someone is there to help with everything along the way and making your vision for you wedding day come alive.
I think it would have been a lot harder and more stressful without the help of Tanya and Carla. I got to spend my entire wedding morning stress free with my mom, soon to be mother in law, and bridesmaids in the bridal suit and that 100% would not have been the case if I did not have Carla there to help decorate, get everything ready, and set up literally the entire wedding from seating chart, signs, decorations, welcome table, reserved signs for ceremony, and every small detail in between. I am very grateful for that time will all of my girls prior to walking down the aisle. And then after the ceremony, Carla and her assistant were there for everything my husband and I needed all night from making sure we always had drink in our hand, helping coordinating pictures, bringing us our dinner, and making sure everything that I wanted and asked for went according to plan. I think my day of experience would have been VERY different.
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!!!
Tanya was THE MOST helpful person leading up to our wedding day and on our wedding day. She was available all the time to help us in making decisions. She really helped make our dream wedding come true! I cannot recommend her and her team more!! She is extremely organized and on top of everything.
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.
Tanya was amazing. From the initial consultation all the way through wedding day she was there for every need and handled everything promptly and professionally. I can’t recommend her and her team enough!!
I cannot recommend Tanya and her team enough! She is the reason our wedding day went off without one single thing going wrong. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, despite only choosing the day of coordination package. She created tons of spreadsheets for every aspect of the wedding and made planning so much easier for us and helped keep us on schedule. She was always up for a phone call, even when it was just me needing to be talked down because as I am sure we all know, wedding planning can become overwhelming. You can tell she loves her job, and she takes it very seriously. You will not regret hiring her for your wedding.
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.
I could not have asked for better wedding day management than Southern Charm Events! We purchase the day of package but Tanya was incredibly helpful with pointing me in the right direction along the way. 30 days out and on the wedding day, Ashley and her team went above and beyond with their experience and expertise to ensure everything went accordingly to plan so smoothly and for the things we couldn’t plan for, which we had several incidents, they suggested a fix to the problem and took care of things without me having to even worry one bit! I could not recommend them more!!
Southern Charm Events were the perfect planners for our wedding day! We did the day of package but there is nothing strictly day of about it! They helped us along the way if we had questions and made vendor recommendations which helped narrow down my search. Day of, Jess and her team went above and beyond. There was a candle mishap and Jess handled it without me needing to stress at all about it. I could not recommend them more!
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!
My experience with Tanya & her staff was amazing. All her recommendations were superb. Customer service on all end were exceptional. Our day was magical 🥰
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!!
Southern Charm Events was CRITICAL in our day flowing so seamlessly. We used their services for both rentals and wedding planning. Tanya is AMAZING. She really has her stuff together and runs a tight ship (completely necessary for wedding planning), Andy is ON TOP OF COMMUNICATION via Aisle Planner, and Haley is the sweetest soul who felt like family and ran the show on our big day!! Honestly you want to have this team in your corner on and leading up to your big day! OH and Aisle planner is SO helpful. Just take some time and click around and get used to it and how it works... But if you're struggling, dont worry! They'll walk you through it!!
anya 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.
Tanya & her team are awesome! They are a great source of information & contacts. Everything went perfectly & it’s all thanks to them! They brought lots of colorful ideas to the table and anytime a problem arose they took care of it.
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. THE BEST IN JAX!
Tanya and her team are so helpful and accomodating. They were always up to speed on exactly what I wanted and knew my vision well. Southern Charm took so much stress off of me on my wedding day and also the weeks leading up to it!
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 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.
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.
Tanya was amazing! She made the process and day of easy for me to try and alleviate stress from everything I needed to do. She was kind and straight forward and very efficient with everything. I would highly recommend her!
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!
Tanya and Paige are absolute pros! They saved us from a nightmare situation 1.5 months before our wedding. They have everything you need and are sooooo organized. Cannot recommend them the Southern Charm team enough!!! THANKS!!!
We absolutely loved Tanya, Paige and the rest of her team! We booked them for the “month of” but they helped so much more than that. Tanya truly knows everything there is to know about weddings and she responds to questions very quickly! I don’t know what I would of done without her. There are not enough kind words to fully express my appreciation.
We worked with Southern Charm for all of our table lines and decorative signage for our wedding. With the variety of products they offer, they were able to make our specific vision and theme come to life!
Everything we rented from Southern Charm was affordable and high quality.
Southern Charm provided games, the arch, chairs and the the chalkboard sign for our wedding. The extra details in the arch, chair and sign were perfect for our day. The games were also a lot of fun during cocktail hour and for some of the guests. It was delivered and setup on time.
I loved the entire experience of working with Tanya and Leah at SCE! I just needed day of coordinating and they were wonderful from the first time we video called to when we met in person. I'm not super fussy about much which sometimes can make things a little more difficult to get me to commit to something but Leah and Tanya were very understanding and helpful when I needed it most. It was so easy to have them for planning services and then have them provide the decor! They were the best money we spent for the entire wedding. If you think even for a second you might need a coordinator, call them!
Our wedding was beautiful and seamless and we owe it to Tanya at SCE. We were recommended by a friend to get in touch with SCE for wedding planning and rental services. Never in a million years would I have thought that Tanya could help make every single little detail of my dream wedding become a reality. From the very beginning Tanya met with us and asked us the right questions to "get" our vision. She helped us stay in budget, she provided a checklist and when to complete each item prior to the wedding, she met with me when I was anxious about what to do next, she helped style both my engagement party and wedding, and she provided beautiful timeless pieces as decor at an unbeatable price, she helped me with the layout of the wedding, gave me advice when I sought it (and responded quickly too). Every little detail Tanya was on top of and she became our wedding mom to ensure that everything would be perfect. The day of our wedding, Tanya ran the show so that my mom and my close friends/family could spend the day with me without worrying about vendor drop offs, decorating the venue, etc.- that time with your mom and/or bridesmaids the morning of your wedding is priceless. If you're not sure about getting a wedding planner, give SCE a call because they will make your wedding as perfect as mine.
Tanya at Southern Charm was a life-saver. I came to her stressed out by the idea of coordinating everything for the day of the wedding. She took control and re-confirmed all of the vendors, created our day-of timeline, and was there by our side through the entire day of our wedding getting everyone in their places when and where they should have been and just helping us be able enjoy the night. Let Tanya help you - you will be happy you did!
Tanya is amazing and can put to life your vision! She was very hands on during the planning process. If you are looking for a wedding planner then you must use Southern Charm Events. Not to mention her rentals are out of this world!
When I think about Tanya and her girls, I want to cry happy grateful tears. My wedding would have been nothing without them.
I walked into Tanya's office with zero vision. I had a venue and a dress, and no idea about colors or themes or anything. She helped pull my dream wedding out of me, I can not thank her enough for the time and patience she had for me. Between countless e-mails, phone calls, mind changes and tears she was there to help with anything I needed.
The day of Ashley and Lorianne were my coordinators. They put together EVERYTHING. They checked in with me throughout my night and left me to just enjoy my wedding. I was carefree the entire time. If anything went wrong during the day, I still have no knowledge of it.
Aside from their talent with wedding planning, they do rentals as well. Most of our décor for the day of came from them.
Seriously, I do not have the words to describe my love for Southern Charm. My wedding would not have been as perfect as it was without them.
Tanya did an excellent job with my daughter's wedding. She was extremely organized and efficient.
Southern Charm provided a five star, top-notch service for a highly competitive price. There was nothing left to be desired. Tanya and her team make you feel loved, respected, and comfortable. Thank you so much for delivering above and beyond what was requested. AMAZING!
Tanya and her crew were the reason the entire wedding even happened. I procrastinated and without her and her team's help the wedding would not have been as amazing as it was. If you ever need a wedding planner don't even bother looking anywhere else, Southern Charm is where you need to go. They handle EVERYTHING and even have an emergency kit for the morning of! Tanya helped make my necklace fit at the last minute! Life savers!!!!
We live 6 hours from where we were having the wedding in Orange Park, Fl at the Club Continental. My daughter found Tanya/Southern Charm from a Bridal show. We used her as a wedding coordinator and she kept us organized before the wedding, the rehearsal and at the wedding. I wish we would have used her the whole time as the wedding planner!! She recommended excellent vendors and an amazing pastor. My daughter and I had decorations for the tables and since we were having to transport them, we organized each table in a different box and took a picture. There is only 2 hours to set up at the club and I didn't know how I would be able to do this. Tanya took all of my stress away and brought a team of people including a decorator who set up the tables just as we envisioned. It was stunning!! Tanya and her team went beyond what we ever imagined. She is the best of all wedding planners, a great value and we highly recommend her. I enjoyed the whole wedding, especially with Tanya taking all the pressure off of me. Thank you Tanya!!
Hiring Tanya at Southern Charm Events was the best decision I have ever made. She was a very nice person and wonderful to work with. She was a big help in planning my wedding and paid a great attention to every detail.Tanya and her staff had worked very hard to make my dream wedding a reality. I would highly recommend her for anyone that needs a wedding or event planner!!
Tanya and her team is the best bunch of ladies you will hire for your wedding day! They take away any stress you may have and they remember every little detail! As a bride, your wedding day is hectic and stressful. Well with Tanya it wasn't. She took care of all the stress and made sure nothing was forgotten and everything was planned out to perfection! She is the best. Her team is very well trained and professional. I highly recommend this company! It will be the best decision you make on your wedding day. Besides marrying your groom of course :)
Tanya and her staff did a wonderful job. We had a beach wedding and did not want it to be a formal affair. We did a lot of things differently and Tanya and her staff helped make our wishes come true. I had a couple of "difficult" family members and they handled them with ease. I am so glad Southern Charm was with me through the process. I would definitely recommend them.
I am forever grateful for all that SCE did for me! Not having a close relationship with my mother & my better half being deployed to Afghanistan, I felt alone in the whole planning process. I came across Tanya just by chance on Facebook & on a whim, messaged her. Before I knew it, we were on the phone & within minutes I felt comfortable with her & knew I would hire her. THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! She is so down to earth & a great listener. She gave me great advice & took care of so many details I would of never thought of. All of my vendors were so excited to be working with her & raved about her attention to detail. Always responsive to my emails & concerns, I would never guess that she had other brides but she's a very busy lady. My wedding day went by fast but I can remember SCE being there for every aspect of it. From chasing the kids away from the cake to speed sewing me back into my dress, Tanya & her team were always there. Honestly, it was the best investment I made for our wedding & I really can't imagine my special day without SCE. Thank you again, SCE for your part in making my wedding dreams come true! Hugs, Lily
Tanya with SCE was absolutely amazing! Every last detail to my daughter's wedding was seen to and I was able to truly enjoy the rehearsal and the day of the wedding with my daughter, knowing that everything was taken care of. I could NOT have done it without her! The whole SCE team was amazing! I would reccomend them to anyone that's looking for a wedding planner or coordinator that really cares about her brides & can take care of everything from beginning to end... down to the very last minute of the event! Thanks Tanya & the SCE team!!
I used Tanya and the Southern Charm Staff for my day of wedding coordinator. They did so much more! They are worth every penny
Southern Charm Events has a wonderful and helpful staff that is willing to go above and beyond to make sure your day is special!
Tanya is currently coordinating my wedding that once seemed an insurmountable task. My big date is under 4 months away now (3-19-2011) and everything is moving along smoothly. I can now sit back and enjoy my fiance and the excitement building up to our nuptuals, without the stress that all the details need my attention. Tanya has taken care of all of that and more. She is more than a helping hand, she has become a friend that I can count on and well worth every penny of the small price she asks for her services. I highly recommend her to every bride!
Southern Charm Events was hired for my sister's wedding. Living 2500 miles away, and being the maid of honor, it was so comforting to me to arrive in town and see Tanya taking such extreme care of my sister and her wedding day. She was so professional, organized, and helpful! Tanya made the wedding happen beautifully! She was so thoughtful of the bride and groom..taking extra care to lower their stress and creating special moments at the venue for them. I thank Tanya and her staff for being there! They were amazing and impressive!
Tanya was our saving grace the day of the wedding. It was decided at the last minute for her to handle the whole day and it gave us such a relief that she did. Always something that comes up and she handled it all with great ease. She's the best!
Southern Charm Events was just absolutely amazing!! They were there for every detail and put 110% into their work. Tanya and her staff were great and definitely exceeded my expectations! They made sure that my husband and I were very well taken care of and that the whole wedding ran very smoothly. There wasn't one second that I had to worry about anything! They took care of it all! Tanya truly made my dreams come true!!
Southern Charm's role in our wedding was invaluable. They took all the stress out of the hands of the wedding party/family and made the event run smoothly. Tanya's experience with weddings and ability to think on her feet absolutely shows!
Tanya was wonderful not only did she give me the wedding of my dreams, she also referred me to other amazing vendors, who gave me great deals. My only regret is not taking her advice for my photographer, lesson learned. Excellent wedding planner and a must have for a beautiful and perfect wedding. I will hire her for any future parties or events I host.
