Outstanding experience with 828 Planning!

•Josh and M.•Aug 12, 2025
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!
Amazing Experience with an Amazing Planner!

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.
DREAM WEDDING AT 14TENN

We had our wedding at 14TENN on 4/11/2025 and holy cow, it was absolute perfection. The space truly is the perfect blank canvas and our fun springy wedding was everything we hoped and more. We used the month-of-coordination package and Rachel was our planner and she is a GIFT to work with! She was constantly setting us (me) at ease as we got to the final countdown, gave us ideas on how to solve problems we had, always had us on track, and made sure to take all the stress off of us when it came down to final details and decisions. She was such a wonderful, cool, calm collected presence and she was so amazing. The day-of, she kept us on schedule and made sure we got to do all the things we'd discussed with her about our big day. If there were problems, we have no idea because on our end, it went so smooth. We had the perfect wedding, and would not change a thing. If we could relive it over and over, we sure would. 14Tenn is beautiful, their staff is wonderful, and everyone is so accommodating and kind. The set up, clean up, etc. was a breeze (for us) and we had no stress when it was time to finalize all the little changes before the big day, so we could focus on other things we needed to do. I cannot recommend it enough for your wedding, office party, fundraiser, etc. They can make whatever your vision is, come true. I also want to plug that we used their photo booth rental and the draping and it was so worthwhile and added so much to the day. Our guests could not get out of the photo booth and we're so looking forward to having those memories forever! THANK YOU 14TENN and thank you Rachel Luszczak for making our wedding a dream come true!
