  • Serves Athens, GA

Hey y’all! I'm Michaela, the face behind Savvy Sapphic. I’ve been obsessed with party planning since I was a kid. In 2023, I married my partner, Gwen. And while planning our wedding, I found that there weren’t many resources available for queer or non-traditional marriers like us. So, I decided to create my own planning service that specializes in alternative events. From epic queer weddings to mind-blowing themed bashes, I'm here to create a celebration that's totally unique and totally you! Let's make your special day an absolute blast! ✨🌈💍

Michaela has planned multiple events for our family over the last 10 years, including my daughter’s wedding. Her attention to detail is fantastic, she does a beautiful job with decorating and organizing all aspects of food and entertainment. Our most recent event was a 60th birthday party and it was a hit! I would absolutely recommend Savvy Sapphic Events and will use them again for my next celebration!

I met Kelly at a bridal expo in Savannah and it was fate. I had just booked a venue and was overwhelmed with the next steps. Meeting Kelly, realizing we shared the same name (and mother’s name!), seeing the table decor they had set up was my exact wedding colors, knowing everything they included (which was everything I didn’t have yet) and the affordability of it all was truly amazing. Kelly and her team were so so wonderful to work with. She had some killer vendors and most importantly, everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding 3

I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

Abiola and her team at ABIBI Bridal were nothing short of phenomenal! As a type-A person, I tend to get anxious about the details, but Dacia worked her magic to keep me calm, stress-free, and fully present throughout the day. And Francis—wow, what can I say? The groom and his groomsmen couldn’t stop raving about him. He brought the perfect energy, kept the guys entertained, and made sure everyone was having a blast. Haitian weddings are famously known to run late, but Abiola made sure we started on time—this was a huge priority for me, and she nailed it! From the moment I met Abiola, I knew I was in the best hands. She flawlessly managed our large wedding party (35 people, no less!) without even breaking a sweat. Her attention to detail and calm under pressure made everything run like clockwork. I may not be getting married again, but if Abibi Bridal ever expands into other types of events, you better believe I’ll be booking them! They bring the vibes, the love, the fun, and of course, all the beautiful content. Thank you, Abibi Bridal, for making our day unforgettable. You guys are the absolute best!

Me and my family was so impressed by Charity and her staff. Charity was absolutely amazing (wedding planner) she came early and started to brief how my day would go seeing i was not able to physically meet with her.. She had to communicate with my family mostly as i was on missions... Our flight were delayed and i literally flew in on the day of my wedding..But this crew made me and my husband's day. Although I hired Charity as a planner she went far and beyond with with my vision. My jumping broom was missing and didn't make it to the venue i guess with all the excitement.. I was in tears, Charity left for 30mins and spent her own money to run to get some material so that our traditional wedding was still special and not ruined. One of her staff created a beautiful jumping broom in less than 30mins.. She didn't charge me extra. She also didn't charge for the extra time we kept her staff it was like 50 min. She helped my family ensure that everything went smoothly, by ensuring my reception was top notch. Her staff was amazing they were so sweet and made sure to keep everything running smoothly. I didn't worry about a thing. We toasted her and her amazing staff because if it weren't for them my wedding would've been a disaster.. She stayed behind to ensure the venue was left emaculantly to the point the owner thought we had a cleaning crew. If you ever need anything from photographer, serving crew, wedding planner..IE is a great choice. THANK YOU FOR BEING A LIFE SAVER.

Her patience was so and her attention to detail just made our big day even more special. She deserves an award for wedding coordinator of the century with her honoring expertise. I loved how she kept us included throughout the entire process and gave us such great advice and tips for anything wedding related. She is communicative, extremely accommodating and really knows how to take charge with bringing organization and direction during the day pertaining to reception, ceremony and even during the breakdown of the wedding day.

We shared our Pinterest ideas with Kenya, and I was absolutely amazed at how perfectly she brought our vision to life for the reception. She went above and beyond, adding custom touches at various stations that completely exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised by the extra details and creativity she incorporated into the space. Working with Kenya was a breeze — we didn’t have to give her much direction for her to understand the look we wanted, and she delivered beautifully.

Hey, there! I am a "Type A" wedding planner based out of Greenville, SC. I fell in love with the Wedding Industry when my sister got married during the HEIGHT of COVID (August 2020) and we were put in the position of having to make about a million changes to accommodate health and safety needs. Since then, I've helped so many couples plan their perfect day. I love "The Office," vanilla iced coffee, reading mystery books, Jesus, and tuxedo cats. I enjoy an adrenaline rush bouldering, doing aerial silks, or hot power vinyasa.

Tori went above and beyond making sure our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. After COVID hit, I didn’t know what my wedding was going to look like. Tori helped us navigate unprecedented changes with a calm and dedicated attitude and so much care. We can’t say enough good things about her!
