I can't thank April Pratt at Socialite Events enough for making my mother's birthday celebration truly unforgettable!

Guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was! If you're looking for someone who's organized, talented, and passionate about their work, I highly recommend April Pratt. Thank you for making my mother's birthday special.

We decided to go with a full planner, and Socialite Events was on the venue’s preferred list—plus, they came highly recommended by many others. April was such a joy to work with! She’s warm, personable, and incredibly professional. She cared for the bride so thoughtfully, truly listened to her wishes, and still managed to meet the expectations of both moms. She gracefully balanced that delicate “bride vs. mother-of-the-bride” dynamic with ease and kindness. The wedding day itself was flawless! We had a detailed timeline, text reminders, and everything ran smoothly. Her team was just as personable and professional—it honestly felt like working with family. Everything flowed beautifully, even with 200+ guests, two locations, and more than 20 vendors involved. I can’t recommend April and Socialite Events enough! I’d absolutely trust her and her team with any future event. Queen Mother

I can't fully express how much of a BLESSING April and her team at Socialite Events was for our entire wedding experience! From start to finish - from our 1st initial planning meeting to the execution of ALL the impeccable details on our wedding day... it was a dream come true! April genuinely cared about making our day as special as possible. She listened closely regarding my "Spring Wildflower Sunday Brunch" vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations! It has to be said that what stands out the most about April is her kindness and calmness throughout the process... no matter how many questions I had (and I had plenty LOL) - she was always available to answer them, and handled everything with patience and thoughtfulness. I was the calmest bride EVER because of her! And that transitioned right into a wedding day full of joy, love, and beauty thanks to April and her team! Look no further if you want a planner that executes every detail with attentiveness and care. April is INDEED a rare gem... And we as newlyweds are SO grateful for her!

From the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted a wedding that was both beautiful and stress-free, and April and the Socialite Events Team made that dream a reality. We hired her from the very beginning of our planning process, and it was the best decision we made! Her expertise was truly priceless as we navigated the venue search and all the details that made our day special. April is a true professional, a joy to work with, and we are forever grateful for her dedication and hard work to making our day perfect! Even working through her birthday weekend to ensure our day went off without a hitch. April guided us through every single detail, offering invaluable advice and ensuring that no aspect was overlooked. Her vendor recommendations were spot-on, connecting us with amazing professionals who shared her dedication to excellence. The team of assistants she assembled for our wedding day was absolutely phenomenal. They were organized, efficient, and incredibly supportive, keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our special day, knowing that every detail was being handled perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how flawlessly executed the wedding was, and we know that much of that is thanks to April and her amazing team.

April and her staff are nothing short of perfect! I used them for our wedding and was NOT disappointed. She made us feel as if we were her only clients although we were not. She is personable, professional, communicative, timely, organized, etc. She created our itinerary, she set up our tables, MC’d our wedding, and did a phenomenal job of bringing our vision to light. Because of April and her staff our wedding was seamless and effortless!!! I cannot thank April enough!! I would highly recommend her services.
