Planning a wedding shouldn't feel like a second full-time job.
For couples who want to enjoy their engagement while trusting an expert to handle it all, Full Service Planning is your all-in-one solution for a seamless, stress-free celebration.
You know you want a beautiful, meaningful day...but you also know you don't have the time (or interest) to spend hours researching vendors, juggling logistics, or figuring out what even needs to be done.
You've got a life, a job, and about a thousand other things to do. Wedding planning? That's a full-time job on its own.
With full service planning, you can skip the overwhelm and move straight into the part where you feel calm, supported, and completely taken care of.
You might be thinking:
"I don't even know where to start-or what I'm supposed to be doing right now."
"I want to enjoy being engaged, not spend the next year buried in spreadsheets and decisions."
"I just want someone I can trust to handle it all-so nothing gets missed."
You can have the kind of planning experience you're hoping for.
The kind that feels organized, effortless, and actually enjoyable-because someone you trust is managing the moving pieces for you.
With Full Service Planning, you're not left guessing what comes next. You're supported, guided, and free to focus on what really matters: being present and excited for the celebration ahead.
Imagine this instead:
A clear plan from day one (no more wondering what you're forgetting)
A calm, confident decision-making process with an expert in your corner
And a wedding day that unfolds beautifully while you soak in every single moment.
That's not a dream. That's what we do.
According to Wedding Wire, couples who work with a full service planner experience smoother days, fewer unexpected issues, and better vendor coordination-resulting in a celebration that feels seamless and stress-free from start to finish.

WITH FULL SERVICE PLANNING, YOU'RE NEVER ALONE-WE'RE WITH YOU EVERY STEP, TURNING YOUR WEDDING DREAMS INTO SEAMLESS REALITY.
We will start with 3 key things: 01. Budget analysis | 02. Venue selection | 03. Vendor selection
In this initial planning phase I want to make sure we tackle 90% of your key vendors before moving on to phase two. Key vendors include venue, caterer, photographer, cinematographer, band/DJ, officiant, cake baker and transportation.
Phase 02: Design
Once we’ve established the majority of your dream team, we move on to the pretty – the design phase of planning is centered around the things that are aesthetic pleasing. In the design phase, we’re booking things like: a custom floral proposal, luxury rental companies, up-lighting, staging, draping, stationary and paper goods, hand-letterers, etc..
This is the time I will send you off to purchase your wedding gown! We will also look at bridesmaid gowns, MOB and MOG attire, and Groom/Groomsmen attire. I then create a Design Guide that lists all the details we’ve chosen, which acts as a playbook for the wedding.
Phase 03: Coordination
This is where it all starts to come together! The timeline is crafted, vendors are contacted and the pieces of the puzzle begin to create one beautiful spread! I work closely with the venue to establish a timeline that works with the contract and hours we’re allotted. Then I contact the caterer, photographer and cinematographer and ensure we’ve got an optimal timeline for each vendor. As a planner, my role is to facilitate all the moving parts of your wedding day; coordination helps do just that!
If you are a couple that has hired us for day-of coordination, this is where we jump in!!
Phase 04: Execution
The week-of… when all the magic happens! The week of the wedding, I’m sending out final timelines and handling emails and logistics for you. I don’t want you touching your inbox; my goal is to have to ask you the least amount of questions and to be the go-between for vendors and your desires.
My director coordinates the rehearsal the night before your wedding, and we provide unlimited hours of service to you on the day-of. I’m typically one of the first vendors to arrive, and usually one of the last (if not the last) to leave.
Phase 05: Post-Wedding
After the wedding there are still tasks left for both the planner and the client to complete.
I’ve found that having these planning phases has saved me so much time and keeps me more organized with every client. The phases are broken down in an easy to understand format for clients and their parents making it easy to explain your process to potential clients. I am able to balance multiple weddings at once using this simple process.

And just who am I?
Now I offer full service planning that guides you from "we're engaged!" to "I can't believe how perfect this day is," so you feel supported at every step.
I'm Terrica, founder of Southern Productions-and I help busy, newly engaged couples plan heartfelt, beautiful weddings without the stress, second-guessing, or overwhelm.
After walking into my own wedding and feeling completely let down by what I saw, I made it my mission to ensure no other bride in my town ever felt that kind of disappointment. What started as a personal heartbreak turned into a calling-one that's lead me to plan over 300 weddings across Mississippi over the last 16+ years.
No wondering what's next, no drowning in checklists-just expert guidance, thoughtful details, and peace of mind from beginning to end.
This is how you enjoy your engagement, knowing someone is handling every detail like it's their own.
No, this isn't for everyone.
But if you're nodding along to any of these, we might just be a perfect match:
You're newly engaged and already overwhelmed by everything you should be doing-guest lists, vendors, timelines-but you have no idea where to start (and no time to figure it all out).
You want a wedding that feels like you-not a copy of someone else's Pinterest board-but you need a pro to help bring your vision to life without the stress.
You're a busy professional who doesn't want to spend the next year buried in logistics, spreadsheets, and vendor emails. You'd rather hand things off to someone you trust.
You want to actually enjoy your engagement-not feel like it's a second job. You're ready for guidance, peace of mind, and a celebration you'll remember for all the right reasons.
Sound like you? Let's take this off your plate, together.
Are you ready to plan your wedding with total confidence?
What exactly is included in full service wedding planning?
We handle everything-from vendor recommendations and contract reviews to budget management, design guidance, timeline creation, and on-the-day coordination. You get a seamless experience from engagement to "I do," with every detail thoughtfully managed.
How early should we book you for full service planning?
Ideally, you'll reach out as soon as you're engaged or within the first few months. This gives us ample time to guide you through each step without feeling rushed.
We already have some vendors booked, can you still help?
Absolutely! We're flexible and can coordinate with your existing vendors while filling in any planning gaps. We tailor our support to meet your unique needs.
Do you help with budgeting?
Yes, we help you set, track, and manage your wedding budget to make sure you get the most value and avoid surprises.
Is full service planning worth the investment?
We believe so! Hiring a professional planner saves you time, reduces stress, helps avoid costly mistakes, and ensures your day runs smoothly-priceless benefits that add up to real value.
What do I have to do to secure my date?
A signed contract and deposit must be received before your wedding date is officially on our calendar. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding, but can be paid in installments if you choose. Payment plans are also available.
You don't just get a planner-you get peace of mind.
Why settle for stress and overwhelm when you can have the calm confidence that comes from working with a TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL WHO CARES JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO?
LET'S MAKE YOUR DREAM WEDDING A REALITY-WITHOUT THE HEADACHE.
This means no more sleepless nights worrying if somethings been forgotten, no more endless hours lost to research and emails, and no more stress stealing the joy from your engagement. Instead, you get to relax, knowing every detail is expertly managed-and every moment of your wedding day will unfold beautifully.
