Celebrate your love alongside friends & family with this perfectly intimate, 2 hour wedding, planned from start to finish by Southern Skies.
Pop ups act as the perfect blend, for you to have an affordable, small wedding now, and a large 1st anniversary vow renewal bash next year!
We choose the venue, date, decor & perfect vendor team. You answer a few quick questions, choose your outfit, your guest list of up to 30 & show up to say I Do!
Let us take care of everything from the beginning or have us step in wherever you leave off.
Offering a comprehensive wedding plan, we'll start by designing a custom vision board based on your unique personality, style & budget.
From there we'll work to take care of all the details so you can enjoy your engagement to the fullest (while of course keeping you in the loop).
This package is perfect for you if you want to be hands-on in the planning, but are looking for extra guidance throughout the process.
Starting from day one, you get the same luxuries as the Event Management package, plus the added bonus of consistent meetings with our team to help with decisions every step of the way.
Starting 3 months out from your event, our simplest package gives you the control to plan your wedding, but lets you relax during the festivities.
We'll be on site to set up, clean up and make sure your day is executed flawlessly. Let us take care of your family & friends so they can spend their time doing more important things- like celebrating you!
Stay in touch with your hand-selected planner through a face-to-face meeting and unlimited email support leading up to the big day.

"Jen was AMAZING. We went back and forth between having our originally planned 200 person wedding this September, to postponing, to ultimately a small ceremony in our backyard because of COVID and Jen helped me navigate through all of it. She was amazing with all of her resources and helped re-plan an entirely new event in about 2 months. She was so easy to get ahold of and reached out many times going above and beyond to make everything so stress-free. There's always things you think of later that if you could do over you'd change but choosing Jen & Southern Skies is not one of them! Loved working with her and cannot recommend her enough!"

"I had the best experience using Southern Skies Events for my wedding, I would absolutely recommend using them! Jen is kind and professional, but most importantly she is a great teammate. I had a major vendor issue, and Jen was able to tackle and solve the problem. She is very knowledgeable of the field and supportive. I was so glad to have her there on my wedding day."

"We hired Jen from Southern Skies to be our Day of Coordinator, and it was the best decision that we made for our wedding. [...] Jen gave us peace of mind that family wouldn't be worried about the details of the day and we could relax, knowing that our wedding vision would be executed perfectly. Jen's professionalism and attention to detail made our day truly stress free! Southern Skies' services are the best money you can spend on your wedding and yourselves."
