Owned by two local businesswomen with backgrounds in event operations, project management, and planning, Phoenix Rising Events is founded on outstanding service, timely responsiveness, and exceptional expertise.

Service Offerings

Phoenix Rising Events offers several packages from full wedding planning to bridal liaisons and has had previous experience planning both religious and non-religious weddings. All packages are customized and tailored to couples' needs, style, and budget.

Full Service Wedding Planning is a customized package for planning from start to finish. You've announced your engagement, perhaps selected a date, and may have a venue in mind. But you haven't begun full planning. Two (2) experienced event managers, as well as any additional staff, will be completely dedicated to executing your day to your exact specifications. We will help find, hire, and manage all vendors, as well as work cohesively to bring your wedding vision to life. This package begins between 9 and 12+ months prior to the wedding day.

The Partial Wedding Planning package works with couples who may have started planning, but they want expertise on making the dream day a reality! You most likely have a date, venue, and maybe some of your vendors, but you need a partner to organize all the pieces and bring it all together. Couples have at least two (2) experienced event managers dedicated to your day. This package begins between 4 and 9 months prior to the wedding.

Wedding Weekend Coordination is for couples who have already selected vendors and the vision is set. You just need help coordinating the logistics so you can enjoy the big day! You have at least two (2) experienced event managers for the weekend as your points of contact. This package begins 2 to 4 months before the wedding.

Fantastic!

We knew within the first 10 minutes of speaking with Hillary, Jeorgia and Becca that Phoenix Rising were the planners for us. We had spoken to three other planners by then and these ladies stood out for their vast knowledge, willingness to be involved, and killer organizational skills. Whenever I needed information, Hillary would research options and lay out details so all I had to do was pick a choice. She kept us on track and made sure we met all our timeline goals. The team was also excellent at leveraging every dollar we spent to get exactly what we wanted while staying reasonably close to our initial budget. They were super quick to respond to our questions and never made us feel like we were imposing. As we got closer to the wedding day, we met to go over all the details and I was amazed at the level of detail the team had planned. Literally nothing was left to chance. Our wedding day could not have gone any smoother. There were a million moving parts but all we knew was how much fun we were having. Even though I know the Phoenix Rising team were working like crazy to keep it on track, it was everything we envisioned and it felt effortless to us.

One more important point: we weren’t looking for a bargain when we chose our planner, but Phoenix Rising was substantially less expensive than all the other planners we met with, and there were no surprise charges or extras for calling or emailing them.

I recommend them to everyone now. I could not imagine a better team of planners than Phoenix Rising Events.

Best money I’ve ever spent

Hillary, Becca and Jeorgia were all absolutely wonderful!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you are even slightly on the fence about needing additional support during the wedding planning process, they are who you go to!! It was hands down the best money I have ever spent and I luckily was able to go into my wedding day with the utmost confidence that they had my back and had it all under control. They made the planning process massively more enjoyable than most of my friend’s experiences that did not have wedding planners and for that I will always be eternally grateful to them!!!

Worth Every Penny and More!

I’ve worked with Phoenix Rising Events as both a vendor and a bride, and they are worth every penny plus more! The wedding I worked with them on as a fellow vendor was the easiest wedding I have ever worked. They communicated everything very clearly from the layout to the day of timeline. Everything went smoothly and they were extremely pleasant to work with.

As a bride, I can’t imagine my wedding day without them. They think of absolutely everything. From our initial consultation all the way through hiring vendors, walking through the venue, planning the layout, to the rehearsal and wedding day, no detail was spared. Everything was scheduled perfectly and they kept everything on track. They are extremely professional while also being very personable and never pushy. I honestly didn’t have to stress about anything on my wedding day. I knew we had planned for everything, and they would take care of anything that popped up. The weather was a little finicky the whole weekend. So, we rehearsed for the original plan of an outdoor ceremony as well as an indoor ceremony in case of rain. They kept an eye on the radar all day on the wedding day, and we were able to go ahead with the outdoor ceremony thanks to their careful watch. They also communicated well with the other vendors I hired. I have received nothing but compliments from family and friends on how impressive Hillary, Becca, and their team are. Everyone was so impressed with how smoothly and efficiently the ceremony went into cocktail hour and then into the reception. To top it all off, we planned the wedding from Memphis while the venue was in East Tennessee. They handled the challenges of traveling across the state and working in different time zones as if it was nothing. I would recommend Phoenix Rising Events to anyone for any event.
