About Southern Skies Events

Southern Skies Events

Owner, Southern Skies Events

My name is Jen and I'm the owner of Southern Skies. The name comes from my love of seeing the NC stars on a clear night with its calmness and unfiltered beauty. I've been planning events since I was 16 and been planning professionally since 2014. My goal for Southern Skies is to plan beautiful weddings for amazing couples, help take their stress away and do it with kindness. I'm a true believer that love is love and life is a celebration that always calls for a glass of bubbly! When I'm not planning weddings, you can find me at my laptop with a glass of red wine, brunching with friends or exploring the world.

My team sets me apart from other planners. I grew up in athletics and played in college, so I feel very strongly about teamwork. Not only with the Southern Skies team I've worked hard to create, but with our couples. When we work together and trust each other, we can create unique, absolutely stunning events that give couples memories to last a lifetime. My team consists of a group of incredibly talented women who are moms, creatives and just genuinely kind. Each comes with their own style, but they all care immensely for the couples they're working with and put their time, blood, sweat and tears into making each wedding day magical.

In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Honest

A Truly Personal Experience and Perfect Wedding!

We found Southern Skies through a friend’s recommendation and we couldn’t have been happier. We worked with Jen and her assistant Laura. They designed a beautiful wedding full of personal details that we never would have thought of - like having a gelato cart for dessert as a nod to Rome, where we met. Jen was very communicative throughout the entire planning process with e-mail updates, answering our questions, and having virtual and in-person meetings. We were planning remotely and could not have pulled this off without Jen and her team. They helped connect us with our fantastic team of vendors, many of whom we probably would not have found without their help. Jen’s thorough planning and hard work made the actual wedding day stress-free and absolutely perfect. We would highly recommend using Southern Skies!
