  • Absolutely Incredible Wedding Planner!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Rachel and her team (Nashville, TN)! From our very first meeting, they were warm, professional, and completely dedicated to making our vision come to life. They listened carefully to what we wanted, offered creative ideas we never would have thought of, and handled every detail with such care and precision. On the day of our wedding, everything ran flawlessly — from the ceremony setup to the reception timeline. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing because Rachel and her team were always one step ahead, coordinating vendors, managing last-minute changes, and keeping everyone calm and happy. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful and seamless everything was, and we know it’s all thanks to Rachel’s incredible organization, creativity, and passion for what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your special day truly unforgettable, we 100% recommend!!

    We had an incredible experience with 828 Planning! We first worked with Sarah, who was fantastic, and when she was promoted, Kali seamlessly took over. Both were absolutely wonderful—professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to bringing our vision to life. They went above and beyond at every step, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, everything was flawless and stress-free—we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We’re so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend 828 Planning to anyone looking for a dream wedding experience!

    We LOVED our experience at with 828 Planning and with 14Tenn for the event itself. Their team was so professional and really worked with us to stay within our budget without sacrificing how we wanted our wedding day to be. Sarah Hodges was a phenomenal planner, and she went beyond her duties to help us have the wedding day of our dreams. The venue was everything we wanted it to be AND MORE, and they were so flexible with us when it came to vendors, catering, and all the little details that came with hosting an event there. Sarah and her team put so much work into all of the logistics, and the day went so smoothly as a result of their diligence. Having Sarah as our partial planner and choosing 14Tenn as our venue were two of the best decisions we made throughout the whole process. We will keep recommending them to everyone looking for the perfect event space! Not only is Sarah great at what she does, but she's SO fun, too! We looked forward to our check-in meetings with her each month!

    We cannot overstate how much we loved working with Sarah. We found her through 14TENN and we honestly have no notes. She met with us monthly for a year and a half, keeping us on track for everything. She had the day-of stuff down to a science and had everything on track to the second. Since she was affiliated directly with the venue, she had great relationships with their recommended vendors and knew how to manage them in the space. We cannot recommend 828 Planning (and Sarah specifically) enough. I don't typically hand out 5-star reviews but we were so pleased with our experience with this group of folks and the venue that a 5-star review was warranted.
