Southern Charm Events

d all of my meetings, offering not only expert guidance but also genuine, thoughtful personal advice. She’s incredibly fun to be around, and somewhere along the way, I gained a friend—not just a wedding planner. On the day of our wedding, she made everything seamless. There were zero glitches, zero stress, and everything flowed with absolute perfection thanks to her and her amazing team. I truly could not imagine our wedding day without her. If you’re looking for someone who’s dedicated, knowledgeable, supportive, and just an amazing human, look no further than Stephyn!

o be (and on time!), handled every detail with total confidence, and always seemed to have the answers, both to the questions I asked and the ones I didn’t even know to ask. Her professionalism, organization, and calm presence made the day run perfectly. I can’t imagine having gone through this without her. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, Nicole (and Southern Charm) is the one!

able about all things wedding, and so easy to communicate with. Every question we had was answered with confidence and care, and every detail was handled with professionalism and warmth. They made the entire planning process feel seamless, and when our wedding day arrived, not a single thing went wrong. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew we were in the absolute best hands. If I had to do it all over again, choosing Southern Charm Events would be a no-brainer. I cannot recommend Stephyn and her team enough—they are truly exceptional.

ing was in place, to connecting us with amazing vendors Nicole and Southern Charm do it all! We highly recommend Nicole and Southern Charm! Our day was absolutely perfect all thanks to Nicole and the Southern Charm team! 

very interaction with my daughter and my wife. And when it came to working with vendors, she knew exactly when to be firm and demanding—always with complete professionalism. On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly because of her hard work and preparation. Any issue that came up, she and her team handled quietly and efficiently, allowing my family to fully enjoy the day without a single worry. Because of Stephyn and her staff, my daughter and son-in-law had a wedding day they will always remember. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I think she has secret superpowers.) From keeping us on schedule to making sure all the little details were flawless, she was the calm in the chaos. Even when the weather tried to derail the day, she just adjusted and made it all feel effortless. I got to actually enjoy my wedding instead of stressing—and that’s all thanks to her. If you want a planner who’s equal parts professional, organized, and downright magical under pressure, Stephyn is your girl. She doesn’t just “plan” weddings—she saves them. 💕✨ 

truly dedicated to making our daughter’s day perfect. She guided us through every step of the planning process with patience and professionalism, always making sure we felt supported and stress-free. Her attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience in the industry made all the difference. Nicole anticipated our needs before we even realized them and was always just a text or call away whenever we had questions or concerns. On the big day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to Nicole’s hard work behind the scenes. We were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing she had everything handled. Our daughter’s wedding was exactly what she envisioned! A huge part of that is because of Nicole. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, is incredibly capable, and brings both charm and professionalism to your wedding planning, we highly recommend Nicole and Southern Charm Events!

ecommend her and Southern Charm enough! She thought of every single detail and took care of everything on our big day. Hiring a planner was the best thing we ever did for our wedding. Nicole was with us the whole time, telling us the next step, making sure we ate, and making sure every detail was perfect. If you are planning a wedding and need help, Nicole is the way to go. She will take such good care of you. Thank you Nicole, and thank you Southern Charm!

ere on our wedding day, but she never showed up and never communicated that she wouldn't be there. Nicole has absolutely no idea what she's doing. She was late to the church, didn't tell anyone she was going to be late then showed up 30 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start because she was out getting lunch. Didn't know how to help with boutonnieres and to be honest wasn't capable of solving a single problem on her own. She completely messed up our audio for our first dance even though we had a full walkthrough with the entire audio system set up in front of her a few weeks prior. They put signs in the wrong place even after showing them where they go at the walkthrough. They refunded us our money back because it was so bad. Thankfully my parents, family and wedding party are amazing and took over. Unfortunately, our day was not relaxing because we were busy doing every aspect of their job. Nicole was extremely disrespectful to my matron of honor and not once apologized throughout the day. All day they couldn't figure out how to do their jobs, it was one thing after another but thank God they found time to take fun photos in our photo booth. If I could go back to that day, I would've sent them home before we even got to the reception. I would never trust them with a small simple event, let alone your wedding. They are unprofessional, lazy, disrespectful, incompetent, unaware and at the end of the day couldn't care less how your wedding day goes. Please do yourself a huge favor and find another wedding planner.

and so much fun. Her and her team were the absolutely sweetest and made sure everything was perfect on my wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner!!

cation with our other vendors. Their previous work history with local OKC vendors made that process seamless, as they had worked with almost every one of them before. It allowed my wife and I to focus on each other and enjoy that time rather than be stressed out. They were flexible with plans and made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it to be. On the big day, they were constantly checking in to see if my bride or myself needed anything and were so supportive. As a LGBTQ+ couple, we felt extremely comfortable with Stephyn and her entire team. We absolutely would not have had such an incredible day had it not been for them!

veral to manage. She handled the whole event professionally and with ease I would recommend Nicole every time!

wedding rather than stress about it. We cannot recommend her enough and would hire her again!!!

a timely manner and did not judge us for the questions we thought were obvious or silly. On Wedding Day, Stephyn calmed my nerves easily and helped me stop worrying about how everything would turn out. Her and her team worked effortlessly throughout the day. She even stepped in and helped out my veil on! It was easily the best day of my life and I’m so thankful we chose them as our wedding planner team!

d Stephyn are excellent communicators and and their organizational skills are amazing. Our wedding day was an absolute dream! Cannot recommend Southern Charm enough!

y single guest wore black, same with the bridesmaids… the wedding coordinators KNEW this (or else that would be terrible coordinator)… STEPHYN SHOWS UP IN A PINK BLAZER 🙃 we were shocked she even showed up since she said she wouldn’t and my sister had to pull out the contract stating she would… BUT MY FAVORITE MOMENT was we were in LINE to walk down the aisle and Nicole comes up to the best man (my escort) hands him a water bottle and tells him to pour it in the wine glass at the front before the bride walks down… I was disgusted as this was apart of the plan from the beginning and they didn’t check the ceremony set up before guests arrive???… she also said there is no bread for communion because she forgot so they would need to fake it… fake the body of Christ on their day of their marriage vows??….. I threw a fit and made Nicole run down the side of the ceremony to fix her mistake instead…. DISAPPOINTING AND HONESTLY SO EMBARRASSING

ed like she had so much knowledge and experience. I asked her if it would be her personally working on my wedding and she said yes, but that was the first of many lies. She put Nicole on my wedding who seemed to not know what she was doing at all and was unable to answer most of my questions so I would have to talk to the vendors and venue owners myself to get any questions answered correctly. I planned my whole wedding myself and couldve/shouldve done it all without them, but my venue required a coordinator so I could not fire them or I absolutely would have. They did not do several things that they said they were going to do or what they were contracted to do. 3 of my vendors never heard from them until day of. I caught them in several lies and they ended up not even coming to my wedding rehearsal. they forgot to get the bread and water for communion for my ceremony and said that it was fine and we could just "fake it" and that was what they wouldve made me do if my sister did not tell them to fix it. save yourself time, stress, and money and do not use them for your wedding.

d all the vendors she recommended and the wisdom she provided. The day of the wedding was wonderful! Southern Charm handled all the details and created the wedding my daughter and son-in-law were hoping for! Thanks again to Stephyn and her SC team!

en recovered some (not enough) money back because they did not have all the meetings we were promised. They didn’t reach out to several of the vendors so it’s a good thing my daughter was so on top of things. Day of they all had such bad attitudes and did the bare minimum. Guests at the wedding even noticed their attitudes. The other vendors have asked us if we got money back since they didn’t do all the things they promised. It was wasted money and they caused more problems then they fixed. Run don’t walk to another company. Dishonest, unreliable, incompetent are just a few words to describe these people.

t or call away. On the day, Nicole and the team brought our vision to life and helped make it such a beautiful, stress free day for my groom and me! Just book them, you won’t regret it :)

ur special day!

so far we have not received a response. I would have loved to talk about this privately with her, but without a response, I can't help her. We booked The Charm service from them so we knew we were not getting full planning services. We needed someone to take over a few months prior to the ceremony and coordinate the day of activities. Our planner, however, did not even perform their very basic duties. Leading up to the wedding, their were virtual visits that our planner was not prepared for. She was also on vacation for 10 days out of the 30 days leading up to the ceremony. At our one venue walk through, she was late because she "got lost". Her initial ceremony timeline was so bad (5 minutes for pictures after the ceremony that we had to take over the creation of the ceremony timeline. She asked us to change to timing of the rehearsal and have dinner before the rehearsal because she had a doctors appointment. We were told that it would be her and two others to help set up the day of the ceremony. I found out later that she was only bringing one other person because she read the schedule wrong and her boss had only assigned one other person. During the ceremony, she did keep things on schedule but that was about it. She even commented to one of our guests that brought a present to the wedding that she wasn't sure what to do with the gift because no one brings gifts to weddings anymore. She was completely unprofessional. The wedding turned out beautifully but not because of Southern Charm.

and if we had questions or anything, Kaitlin always responded back in a timely manner. The day of the wedding, she was a rockstar in making sure everything was ready and we went according to the timeline she had created for us! Thank you Southern Charm Events and especially to you Kaitlin!

k. I dreamed of what planning my wedding would be like one day and after I decided all the big fun things, I was so overwhelmed with all the tiny details. Of the few things I would have done differently with our wedding, Nicole is the #1 vendor I could not have lived without. Not only is she super talented at event coordinating, professional and so fun, she literally became my friend and voice of reason. She calmed my every fear and worry about anything that came up, she was there for us all the time. Nicole literally made my wedding dreams come true. I felt like she understood my vision perfectly and was able to execute our wedding so beautifully. Nicole was such a dream to work with, I am forever thankful for her and recommend her to everyone!

d needed to help me through this process. She suggested the best vendors, responded to my thousands of questions, and calmed every ounce of planning anxiety that came my way. When I tell you my day was perfect, I’m not exaggerating. Stephyn ensured the day flowed without a hitch. She does everything from putting in your veil, herding groomsmen, bustling your dress, helping you define your wedding theme, the list goes on…. Of all of the many expenses that are a part of a wedding, budgeting for the professional services of Southern Charm is a must and it will absolutely be the best money spent as you plan and prepare for this special day.  A wedding planner turned friend. If you’re planning a wedding, you need Stephyn / South Charm in your corner.

wedding. The whole team was so fun to work with as well! We cannot wait to have them back at our venue.

d, vision, and idea that I had to make sure our wedding was exactly as we wanted. They would tend to every need and think of things i would of never even considered. The day of team was so attentive to every detail and made sure everything ran smoothly. My husband and I can say without a doubt that there was not a single issue or thing we would of changed about our wedding day and we give that credit to them! They created a stress free environment so we were able to enjoy time with our guests and not worry. No amount of words will describe just how wonderful our experience was. Thank You Southern Charm for being the best wedding planners a girl could ask for.

third wedding without the stress. It was well worth it. Nicole took care of everything and really helped make decorating decisions that I didn’t feel confident about and she did a great job. The day of the wedding I just sat back and watched the magic take place while Nicole and her team took care of all the details. Thank you Southern Charm!!

Stephyn. When we had to move our wedding date from April to September and Stephyn and her team handled everything. From calling all the vendors and making sure everything got moved to the new date. And on the wedding day I actually got to enjoy just getting ready with my bridesmaids and look forward to marrying the man of my dreams. Because they handled everything. Future Brides do yourself a huge favor and hire Stephyn and Southern Charm events!!

fferent venue <1 month before the wedding (COVID). I cannot recommend them highly enough

sooner. I fully recommend Nicole and any other person from Southern Charm Events!

g we literally just showed up and everything was perfect! Can’t thank her enough for everything!

e this review because I am, to this day, still so upset over what happened on my wedding day that I haven't had the stomach to write it. BEFORE: What is even the price? Our venue had a "preferred vendor deal" which is actual the baseline price on the sheet, but we were told a higher price when we met with Stephyn in person. Hopefully the confusing pricing and packages have been resolved. When I reached out to ask if Stephyn knew a way to save a little on my linens I was given 1 option, when I responded that was too much, I was given 1 more. Although we were told that some help with vendor selection/suggestions were part of our package we were treated rudely when we asked for help. Eventually I found the linens by myself, paid 80% less than the "cheaper" vendors she suggested, and when I told her who I had gone with, she responded, "Oh, yes, Lexi is great!", which I interpreted as "My commission from vendor X is more important than your satisfaction". In our final meeting before the wedding, I was asked to design the entire set up of both ceremony and reception and then to send it to the venue. Basically no work was done during this last (or any) meeting and I was expected to both create the content and share it with the vendors. We were continually encouraged to shorten the wedding and despite MULTIPLE emails stating that we did not in fact want to shorten it, all of the timelines had HER schedule on it, NOT OURS. We were told the best option would be to book the venue the evening before for the rehearsal dinner and set up (read an extra $2k to rent the day before). No set up was done until mere hours before the wedding. DAY OF: The weather was poor and the ceremony had to be moved inside. I was not aware of any of the movement or how things had been rearranged until I was being ushered into the building. 75% of the people at our ceremony had to stand as a result. There were chairs available, but somehow they weren't made available to our guests... NONE of the corsages (read $100+) made it to the mothers, grandmothers, or aunts who were supposed to be wearing them, even though the bag containing them was given to Stephyn and/or her assistant. During speeches people were speaking so loudly that many people couldn't hear - despite the speaker having a microphone-- no one felt it appropriate to quiet those speaking (even though we discussed this potentially being a problem before the day of). The DJ was not notified that we were cutting the cake, meaning all but maybe 10 wedding guests missed it. Multiple guests mentioned/asked either me directly or my parents who the woman on her phone was the whole night. The groomsmen were not ever asked to help clean as we requested. It was bad. It was expensive. It left a horrible taste in my mouth and an awful impression on those present. We would have been so much better doing the planning all ourselves -- which we basically did anyway-- and almost nothing was actually done on the day of. Just horrible.

state! As a mother of the bride to be able to spend precious time with your daughter on her wedding day is priceless! She handles every situation with grace and elegance. I could not imagine a wedding without Leesh and Southern Charm.

the team had everything handled with my incredible vendors - this allowed me to focus on the details that I wanted to and more of the "fun stuff" with planning a wedding. Every step of the way I felt prepared by Stephyn for what needed to be accomplished next - there was no guessing, and she was my biggest cheerleader along the way! The day of the wedding was a dream because of how diligent, professional, and high energy everyone was. Nothing fell through the cracks, everything was executed the way we had discussed prior, and they made sure that it was a stress free environment for me and my husband to enjoy our day in!! Even though I am extremely organized and felt I was able to plan it on my own, I am SO GLAD I chose to allow Southern Charm Events to help me out - it allowed for me to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest extent and bring a vision to the wedding I couldn't have come up with by myself. None of that would have been possible without the AMAZING team at Southern Charm Events!!

all my nerves and anxieties that come with wedding planning and made our day seamless. There is no way to put into words what a blessing she was for us. Not only is she great at what she does but she is a beautiful person. Stephyn came to help on wedding day as well and she was just as sweet and helpful. She laughed and joked with us and we loved having her a part of our day. Southern Charm was such a huge part of our wedding and we could not say enough good things about them! Book with Southern Charm! You will not be disappointed!

l our wedding dreams come true! I would recommend Stephyn and her group to anyone and everyone planning a wedding/event! They made the process so easy! My husband and I were stress-free through the entire process! The communication with Southern Charm is top-notch, any email or text that I sent was answered quickly and professionally. They stayed in contact with all the vendors and the big day went off PERFECTLY! Look no further when it comes to your wedding day! If you want your event to be perfect, Southern Charm is the only one who can do it!

enjoy the process of planning. Not to mention the amount of support she gave me the day of. I got the wedding of my dreams because of southern charm and I couldn’t be happier!

we got married internationally and did not have Addy help with.At our first meeting Addy went over everything we could expect from her since we were doing the Pop of Charm package, which included a monthly checklist of things that needed to be completed, help with finding all of our vendors, meetings coordinated with vendors (this was just the basics). I would like to note that at our initial meeting the main vendors we were concerned about were: dj, floral, hair/makeup, transportation. Addy told us that she had MANY options for each of these and would be glad to help us. When time came to finding these vendors it took asking several times for recommendations and then she would only provide 1 name.She did not help with getting quotes or setting up meeting except for the caterer (which included quotes that were FAR OUTSIDE our budget), linen, buses (until she just quit and told us to contact places). We should've known when she never showed up at the ONLY meeting we had for the location that this was not a good fit. Each meeting after that was always very awkward and from then nothing went as anticipated. Luckily we had free time to schedule all of our own vendor meetings with the dj (which we found and she never attended a meeting), floral (she showed up 30 minutes late), location (to this day we do not think she ever visited the space before our event), hair/makeup (we had to do all the research for this vendor). We could go on and on about how disappointed we are in everything. As far as the monthly check ins we received ONE in August but nothing after that. We were the ones actually contacting Addy to check in and see if there was anything that needed to be done after going months without hearing from her. At our final meeting the owner of SC showed up which relieved some of the stress we had been under leading up to our event.She told us that going forward Addy should be the only one contacting vendors and getting all final invoices (hahahaha this was such a lie). We had to BEG for invoices from almost every vendor and even then she waited until the last minute to request them. Our caterer invoice came back completely wrong and when we asked Addy to have the corrections made she had the nerve to tell us that we should contact them if we want things changed. Addy knew that leading up to our reception we would be out of the country at our CEREMONY for 10 days and we would need everything before we left. Due to her waiting until the last minute we were rushing the day before we left to contact vendors for changes and make payments. We hired a wedding planner to take stress away from us leading up to the events and instead hiring Addy from Southern Charm caused us even more stress. When it came time for our actual reception we both did our best to be optimistic since WE had planned everything out and given specific instructions for the entire layout, seating chart, bars, ect. As we looked around we noticed tables were not in the correct order, signs we'd had custom made were no where to be found, lights on the patio were not on (we paid $400 for these and ended up plugging them in ourselves with only an hour left of the event). Again we could go on and on about how DISAPPOINTED we were in everything. Luckily this was NOT our Ceremony.

She kept me calm even when I’m sure it was very hard! I now consider her a friend! I 1,000% recommend her! Thank you again Stephyn! LOVE YOUUUU!

unities for improvement. For example, there was a little confusion on items she was providing vs us; church sanctuary should have been unavailable to guests while bride was taking pics before ceremony; and a couple times had a hard time receiving a response via email. However, overall we are very pleased.

rking on the planning details, I quickly realized I was in way over my head! Cue the rescue of a lifetime: a friend from college recommended Southern Charm Event as a wedding planning option and upon meeting Stephyn and having our first initial meeting, I knew all my wedding dreams were about to come true and all that added stress I had taken on was about to subside. LET ME TELL YALL ABOUT STEPHYN... This woman can do it all! The planning process with her was a dream. Our meetings were like spending time with a long lost friend and she was so knowledgeable and really helped every detail of our wedding come together seamlessly. We had some unorthodox choices, but she helped us bring them to fruition and made our day one we will cherish forever. She helped and guided us with each step of the way and we ALWAYS felt like a priority. The day of the wedding was fantastic and even though I finally started to really feel the real pressure of being the star for the day a couple of hours before walking down the aisle, Stephyn quickly alleviated any anxiety for me and made me feel valid and sane. Stephyn, thank you for everything. You really were such an important piece of this journey and we couldn’t have done it without you! Love you, girl ❤️

use I don’t know if we would have made it. Upon meeting with Stephyn for the first time, my wife and I instantly fell in love with her upbeat attitude, her constant encouragement, and her immense knowledge on what we needed to do. She listened to all of our ideas, helped us refine our vision, and kept us on track by showing how our budget was shaping up alongside our decisions. She never made us feel like we ‘couldn’t’ do something, but was always honest about how it would impact our budget and other aspects of the wedding to ensure we made the most informed decisions. We had some unorthodox ideas for the wedding (who wants to toss a garter or bouquet when you can toss t-shirts instead?!), and Stephyn rolled with it every step of the way and made certain we knew that this wedding was for us. She didn’t bat an eye when my wife indicated she would be having her mother-daughter dance to a Nicki Minaj song. That is proof of how much she wanted this day to be about us. She consistently communicated with us, laid out our timeline for getting things done, and made sure we were always supported. Her and her team were amazing the day of the wedding, keeping everything moving smoothly behind the scenes and making the day truly feel like a celebration. I would recommend Southern Charm to everyone without a doubt!

for us to verify that they would be there so we didn’t have to. The day of the wedding Stephyn took care of everything!! If there were problems I didn’t know about them! Our wedding day was perfect and we have Stephyn to thank for that! I would recommend Southern Charm Events in a heart beat!
