Owner
I started Southern Sweetheart Events after helping friends & family with their events. I soon realized the joy I had in helping them and seeing how happy they were when all the planning and details came together. I left my corporate job and haven't looked back. I love that almost every weekend, I get to see happy couples enjoying their day that we worked so hard to create. And let's be honest, what other profession do you get to have wedding cake every week?!

I am a very hands on, organized, product manager and I needed help getting married. I needed someone that I could trust that I had never met. I had grand dreams and a small budget. Sabrina was the person that I could trust; she helped make my dreams a reality. From arranging meetings to providing templates, and keeping payments on track, Sabrina was there every step of the way. Even when I thought I had all the bases covered she was able to identify key items to be done so I could keep a handle on the wedding and still do my full time job. She is a Southern sweetheart for sure; I sincerely appreciate her bubbly and optimistic personality. Her positive outlook and dedication made my day as close to perfect as you can get. She even helped with those pesky last minute decorations and that is something worth noting. Take the stress out of planning your big day, hire Southern Sweetheart Events to take care of time-consuming or annoying things (especially day of) so you can enjoy the fun parts!

Working with Sabrina from Southern Sweetheart Events was an absolute dream! I chose the At Your Service package which was the full service package. Every question I had was answered quickly from the day we started working with Sabrina. She kept us on track with timelines, checked in regularly and was always available to answer our questions and calm any anxieties. She was incredibly organized, attentive to every detail, and truly helped us create the perfect wedding without any stress. From vendor recommendations, reviewing vendor contracts and managing the day-of timeline, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a flawless event.

Sabrina coordinated my wedding this past weekend and I am so appreciative of her services! She did a lot of work with my vendors and rolled with the punches and was very flexible with any changes. She also helped with the set up at my ceremony, which was very helpful as I didn’t have anybody else to do it at that time. A coordinator is definitely worth it, so I recommend it to any interested in looking for one!

Sabrina was super quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns (there were many haha) She anticipated so many of my needs before the wedding and made the whole process as stress free as possible. On the day of she made everything look even better than I imagined.

Sabrina was incredible. She was there as a support in a way I never knew I needed. I hired her as a day of coordinator, but what she provides is so much more. Before the day, she would answer my emails almost immediately for the silliest questions. Day of, she felt like my best friend, there to ensure everything was exactly as I wanted and that everything worked out according to plan. Our wedding was exactly as we planned, with no issues and no changes, and I 100% believe that is thanks to Sabrina.
She set up the room for us, and it was beautiful! I made a Spotify playlist and rented a speaker from her and she took care of everything from there, music wasn't a second thought for me and that was so nice. She helped usher everyone around as needed and kept everything exactly on schedule. I am so grateful for her.
I was the kind of bride that had a small but nice wedding. We set a budget of $7000. When I heard I was required to have a day of coordinator for my venue, I was initially annoyed and tried to find the best I could at a reasonable price. I saw a few other people, but once I spoke with Sabrina on the phone I felt so comfortable and excited to work with her. Her prices are unbelievable, given what she offers. If she is available and you have the opportunity, do not miss out - she will make your day!

Sabrina is an absolute lifesaver and hands down the best decision I ever made for our wedding. Hire her for full-service planning, you won’t regret it. The best piece of wedding advice I got was to hire a planner first - and I tell everyone that once we found Sabrina, she’s the only reason we had a wedding at all. She truly allowed me to be a guest at my own wedding. She was great at keeping the planning on timeline, was so incredibly patient with our insane dual-mil schedules even with us being in Japan’s time zone. She made everything a breeze - we only needed about 5 phone calls total in the year and a half of planning. She had the best recommendations, was able to go to our venue to do a video-tour for us, and was very very honest with what she thought was / wasn’t a good idea. Her input was incredible, she always looked for ways to help me keep the costs down. Her DJ recommendation was absolutely incredible (DJ Tom with Grant Hemond) - everyone kept telling us how he was the best DJ they’d ever had at a wedding. She went decor-shopping for me and took care of donating all the leftovers afterwards since we had to fly back to Japan.
The way she ran the rehearsal so efficient, and the work she and her team did for us on the day of the wedding made the entire thing stress-free. My husband’s family did the decor/alcohol drop-off the day of and they raved about how she and her assistants helped them - they were so impressed at how they came right up to them and offered to help and “next thing I knew the car was unloaded!” She took the decor vision and brought it to life better than I ever could have, even with the insane wind she improvised beautifully and kept everything in place. She made sure to bring me and my husband food, kept drinks in our hands the whole reception (and our head table!), and had everything we needed. She didn’t even blink when I pitched to her doing a water gun send-off, she had towels ready to go for us that she’d had customized for us as a gift, and made the entire thing come to life just as we’d hoped.
Sabrina I love you so much. Thank you for putting together the best weekend. You were such a joy to work with and I’m so so happy with how everything turned out - all thanks to you!

Sabrina was absolutely amazing. If you aren't sure if you need a wedding planner, you most definitely do. Sabrina made all my visions come true. She made the day of so much better and less stressful. I know I would have had such a stressful, long day without her. I cannot say enough how much I recommend her!

Sabrina had her work cut out for her with a bride and groom that really didn't want to do a lot of planning for their wedding. Not only did she keep us on track (which can be like herding cats), answer any and all of our questions, get a large number of quotes for us, and more, but she coordinated the rehearsal and wedding day flawlessly.
The last thing we wanted to do was be stressed during our wedding day and Sabrina delivered. Everything was seamless because of her and she even fixed a couple of small last minute hiccups that none of us anticipated. To say that we are happy that we chose her is quite an understatement.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. She worked so hard to make our day perfect and it was everything we wanted it to be. Thank you so much, Sabrina!

Sabrina was the most amazing wedding coordinator!!! From start to finish, she was organized, kept us on budget, was encouraging and a total pleasure to work with! It was sort of by chance that I found her (we were planning a wedding in an area that we did not know) and we are so thankful that God lead us to her! She assured me that the wedding could in fact take place at the rural, outdoor venue, and she did it! I know it was a lot of work, but she did it all with grace and skill, took care of every detail and helped us execute an amazing, spectacular wedding that our daughter (and we!) will remember forever. Don’t think twice about working with Sabrina- book her now!

I reached out to Sabrina early January 2023 to inquire about her coordinating services and I quickly booked with her shortly after. She offers a variety of services and packages at a reasonable price. The experience I had throughout the planning process with Sabrina was amazing. Planning a wedding comes with lots of questions and Sabrina answered each one and was able to guide me with grace and professionalism. Sabrina handled everything and anything the week up to my wedding, contacting vendors, making our timeline, speaking to the venue, recommending things that she noticed that would make our wedding day better and or smoother. The day of our wedding is when Sabrina really shined! She arrived on time, kept me in the loop of when vendors arrived and how the process of setup was going. When it came time for the ceremony, Sabrina kept my wild bridal party in line as well as making sure everything else behind the scenes at that moment was flawless. During the reception there were tiny bumps in the road but Sabrina was there to make sure we had everything we needed and smooth those bumps out. Sabrina stayed until the end of the reception, she updated me on everything before she left so I knew where things were, etc.
If we were getting married again I would choose Sabrina(Southern Sweetheart Events) all over again. Throughout the planning process and the day of the wedding Sabrina was everything we could image for a coordinator and more. She is so sweet, personable, professional and down to earth. I recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!
Thank you Sabrina for making our day so magical 🤍

Sabrina fully exceeded all expectations I had for a wedding planner. Her calming presence and attention to detail during our first Zoom call immediately made me upgrade from “Week of” services to “Month of”. During that month, Sabrina took everything off my plate and did all the final coordinating with my vendors. Her communication and availability was unmatched. The day of the wedding, Sabrina ensured the time line flowed seamlessly and kept everyone on schedule. When my wedding bustle broke halfway through the reception, Sabrina quickly stitched it up and I was back on the dance floor in less than 10 minutes (no exaggeration!). I can not recommend this sweet, poised, and professional wedding planner enough!

Absolutely amazing and so glad to have had her for our special day. She was so helpful in so many ways especially last minute when our photo and video ended up being a scam with no show no communication and she put us in touch with another photographer and videographer that were absolutely amazing and wish we would have booked with them originally. SHES AMAZING!!

Can’t say enough great things about Sabrina! I chose her based on reviews and honestly they were all correct. I have a big family with 6 kids under 8 and she even helped keep them in line, which is really hard to do. My flower girl was complaining her dress was itchy and she was able to see it and fix it to keep her happy. I was a very much an overthinking bride with many little tasks I was worried wouldn’t get completed and I didn’t need to worry at all. She’s so organized and everything got done! I could not be happier with her work! Do not hesitate to book her!

We got married October 8, 2022; which means that our wedding week was the week that everything got destroyed during Hurricane Ian. During the most stressful week of my life, we ended up having to replan our wedding in 3 days and pushing our wedding reception back until the end of November. Sabrina was there to help me- EVERY step of the way. She did not bat an eye at changing the date last minute for me, did not ask a single cent from me for changing it, and she completely went to bat for me to ensure that everything got moved without adding additional stress to me as I figured out everything with my car and house. She was without a doubt the glue that held me together that day, and quite honestly, the last few months of 2022. Sabrina was timely, caring, and paid attention to every little detail that I could even imagine. Whenever I reached out, Sabrina was quick to respond and reassure me, even with the little stuff. I could not have done this without her, and I stand by this 100%. If you are wondering if her company is the right fit, I promise you it is. You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I are so thrilled to have found Southern Sweetheart Events to help us manage all of the details of our big day this past month.
We utilized her for Day of Coordinator services but she went way above and beyond for us and we truly feel she made a significant difference in our perfect wedding day!
When you hear of couples that need someone to help unload all the details off their shoulders on their big day, that is the true definition of what Southern Sweetheart Events did for us and we are more than grateful for her.
Some big items I know couples will look for that Southern Sweetheart over delivers on are:
Clear Communication (Prior and Day of) - When our wedding day was postponed due to a Hurricane, Southern stepped in immediately to help us reach out to all of our vendors to have them hold everything and to be on standby for a new date. This same high level of communication carried through to the end of our Wedding when we knew and trusted everything was in great hands with the Southern Team and any question we had she was prompt to answer.
Organized - She created a personalized schedule for us based on our vision, the vendors being utilized, and the other factors of the wedding that all had to come together to create one seamless event. There are many items we never thought of prior that she helped bring to light to us in our planning calls.
Detail Oriented - Everything was where it needed to be, how it needed to be setup, and looked better than we could have imagined.
Leader - Helped keep everyone on track the day of and even when we were running slightly behind because of some late guests, she still kept everything on track and helped us (the Bride and Groom) have some extra time to ourselves with our bridal party to just relax and have fun...we actually made it to part of the Cocktail Hour which is a big win for a day this big and busy!
Overall, if you are in the Tampa Bay region with a Wedding or Event coming, I highly recommend the Southern Sweetheart Events team to be one of your first calls! We could not have asked for a better team there truly supporting us.

Sabrina was the most vital component in getting my big day out together! I had ideas but she married them together. Not only did she help secure vendors and provide me with a planner to stay organized, she was the day of coordinator. The wedding planning process was easy, because of her and our wedding day was unrivaled because she was there. I continuously recommended her to my family members throughout the planning process and even on the day of my wedding. Many of my family members agreed that she is phenomenal and look forward to collaborating with her in the future, as am I!

Sabrina is an absolute rock star. She helped plan a beautiful day, with everything lined up and ready to roll, only for my wife to get a 24-hour stomach bug the day of the wedding. It was not happening.
So she and I got together, and started triaging, splitting vendors to call, family and friends, and so much more.
In the end, we were able to have an amazing day two days later. We hit a humongous crisis, and Sabrina helped us navigate through it.
I cannot recommend her enough. Sabrina will take care of you no matter what happens.

We want to start by saying we wouldn’t have been able to handle this wedding without the help of Sabrina. I hired her mid-way through my wedding planning process, and she immediately went to work. She answered all our questions and communicated with all the vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was such a huge support. Everything we may have needed, she had. There wasn’t a single thing that I asked for that she could not help with! Sabrina was professional, courteous, and super sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone!! Thank you again!

I reached out to Sabrina at Southern Sweetheart about 6 months before my wedding because I knew I would need some help on the day of. Sabrina was friendly, professional, and affordable. During our initial consultation, we discussed what I had planned so far and what was included in each coordination package. I decided to hire her for month-of coordination and I’m so glad I did!
Sabrina contacted me promptly one month before my wedding. She helped me to find and book the vendors that I had not managed to secure yet, including a rental company for table settings and a baker for mini donuts for our brunch wedding. She also met with me to put together a day-of timeline, which I had struggled to create since our morning wedding was not very traditional.
Throughout my DIY planning, I had been counting on it to not rain during the morning since we typically expect afternoon rain here in Florida. The forecast had different plans for us though, and I didn’t have a back-up plan for our outdoor event. Sabrina called 8 different tent rental companies two days before the wedding, and she was able to find us a tent that would be big enough for our event and that we could afford.
The day of the wedding, Sabrina knocked it out of the park. She directed all the vendors and did the place settings herself, which looked gorgeous. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the morning of the wedding, which was a huge relief. Everything looked perfect and there is no way we could have pulled off such a beautiful event without Sabrina’s help. Very grateful for Sabrina and her services!

Sabrina was the best choice we ever made.
This review took me a long time to write, only because there wasn't enough kind words for me to stay about this amazing woman and her phenomenal skills.
We never wanted a wedding to begin with, and we ended up with two; but when Sabrina was done with our events, we were so glad we did it. Sabrina did two weddings, one which was an ethnic wedding which she had never done before...and you know what? She knocked them both out of the park, to the point where all of our family told us how remarkable she was and how much of a good job she did.
Sabrina was by our side through all of the ups and downs of planning a wedding. She's kind, detailed, strong and takes a very mature look at all aspects of the planning process. She went up to bat for us when vendors failed us, and made sure that all boxes were checked on the day of. Our favorite thing about her though, is how honest she is. If something is a bad idea, she'll be sure to tell you but will also come up with alternatives and ways to make your idea even better.
On the big day(s), she did an outstanding job as a day-of coordinator. Even if you couldn't see her, she was watching and working and doing whatever she had to in order to make the day go as smoothly and be as special for us as it could be. Nothing got past her, and no issue was too big or complicated for her to sort out. We were both seriously impressed by her commitment and capability, and we can't thank her enough for all she did.
At the end of the final day, I held her hand and teared up, asking that we stay in contact even after the wedding, she just had that much of an impact. When I (the bride) first met her, I told her that I hoped to become close with my wedding planner, since this entire process will be emotional and put both of us in a very vulnerable place. She assured me that she forms a strong bond with all of her clients, and I can definitely see why.
Hire Sabrina. It'll be the best choice for your wedding, and for the both of you, that you'll ever make.

She was personable and knowledgeable. She quickly got me on track. She thought of everything for our day. I could not be happier with her dedication to making sure everything was how I envisioned. She made it perfect. I would recommend her to any friend or bride that is getting married!!

I cannot say enough about Sabrina and Southern Sweetheart Events! My son and daughter in-law's wedding was what every little girls dreams are made of. Every detail was perfect. The venue, flowers, and decor were stunning. Sabrina never slowed down. She was present and engaged throughout the entire event, personally assuring that every aspect of the wedding and reception were flawless. She even took the time to stitch up the groom's sister's dress when it was torn on the dance floor. She was kind, friendly, and so caring. Sabrina is a true gem, and this mother of the groom cannot recommend her enough!

Wow! Is all we can say about Sabrina from Southern Sweetheart Events, she is hands down phenomenal.
When searching for a wedding coordinator it honestly felt more overwhelming trying to find the right person to help plan our wedding then finding other vendors and then we found Sabrina!
Sabrina is beyond helpful, she is professional, attentive to your wants and needs and is just an overall great person.. especially in stressful situations she still remains calm . I definitely had a few bumps in the road, but Sabrina handled them all for me, getting them done in a timely matter, and handling them 100% without bothering me unless there was a question I needed to answer. I can truly say that I relied on Sabrina 100% and never once through this whole wedding process felt stressed.
Not only did we love Sabrina but my whole entire family did as well, matter-of-fact my sister-in-law‘s dress ripped during our wedding and Sabrina came to the rescue and sewed her dress back together!!!!!!
We feel so fortunate and so blessed to have met Sabrina and to have had her as our wedding coordinator I highly recommend Sabrina for any event planning that anyone needs.
Thank you so much Sabrina!

My venue recommended that I hire a wedding coordinator for at minimum the day of the wedding. They gave me Sabrina's contact information and it was easily the best decision I could've made. I will start by saying INCREDIBLE!!! Originally I wasn't going to have a coordinator but I honestly don't think I could've done it without one, especially Sabrina. I had her for the month prior and the day of. She was hands down fantastic. She helped me with checklists, the details, vendor recommendations (led me to my caterer, florist and baker) and even let me borrow some of her own decorations which were absolutely perfect! She was on point with making sure everyone was on time, had everything we needed and put some amazing final finishing touches on the decorations, not even a hair was out of place. After the ceremony which went perfectly with her help, she got me and the entire bridal party snacks and drinks to have while we were taking our photos. She kept us on time and made it easily one of the best days of my life. I couldn't have done it without her. Sabrina, thank you for being such an absolute blessing on our wedding day and helping make our dreams come true. You were perfect!!

I paid for the MONTH of Coordinator. Knowing that Sabirna was going to finalize everything with the vendors took a lot off of me!
Day of this girl rocked!!! My guest refer to her as the clipboard lady! She was awesome and made sure everything flowed.

Sabrina is hands down one of the best out there. She made me feel like a princess that day since she handled all the vendors for the big day. I had multiple guests tell me that I was the most relaxed bride they had seen, largely in part to Sabrina handling everything. Right before the ceremony started, my brother's pants ripped all the way up the leg. She was prepared and quickly stitched him up as if nothing had happened. She carries a little emergency bag for all sorts of little emergencies. I truly was able to enjoy my day, if there was a problem it was handled between her and my mom and I didn't know about it until the next day. 100% recommend her.

We hired Sabrina as our wedding day coordinator and it is one of the best decisions I have made throughout the stressful wedding planning process! I emailed Sabrina explaining how I wanted everything to look, and was stressing about wedding details all day until the moment Sabrina walked in. She showed me photos of everything she set up, and I finally felt the weight lift off my shoulders, and I could just enjoy our wedding day! She did such a beautiful job, and our family and guests kept complimenting how amazing she was! My mother, who is very hard to please, could not stop raving about Sabrina, and my maid-of-honor had to hire her for her wedding too! She knew exactly what we needed, and made everything run so smoothly and effortlessly. Do yourself this favor. HIRE HER! She is absolutely wonderful and knows exactly what she's doing!

We hired Sabrina as our day of coordinator and she truly went above and beyond. From making us both feel relaxed, prepared, and comfortable to helping put the finishing touches on our arch and centerpieces she did it all. I could not recommend Sabrina enough! If you are on the fence about a day of coordinator, I say go for it. You won’t regret it, especially if you choose Southern Sweetheart Events! Thank you for making our day so freaking special and perfect ♥️

I seriously could not begin to tell you how amazing Sabrina was. Right from the first email she made me feel like I knew her for years which made me trust her 100% completely in any planning or executing she did. She promptly responses to any emails or texts with maybe a 20 minute max gap and immediately makes you calm with any concerns you are worrying about. You can 100% tell she has many years of experience. All my vendors loved working with her and she made everything go seamless.
Ok now for my husband and I on the day of she was legit a dream. She handled all details on the day of, came to check up on my girls and I while getting ready to make sure we were all ok, and when cocktail hour was going on she hand delivered us drinks and appetizers herself. Sweetheart is an understatement. Seriously ladies when choosing your event planner 100% choose Sabrina she will make your day go 150% smooth and your dreams come true!!!

Sabrina was wonderful!! We were trying to save money and hadn't planned on hiring a coordinator but I'm so glad we did. It was definitely worth it. Sabrina set up everything the day of the wedding and did a rehearsal the day before. She even did another mini rehearsal for our family that didn't show up until the day of the wedding. She thought of everything and was so organized. She helped to make the day perfect and stress free!
