country party planning

COUNTRY EVENT FRINGE

Because a great country event takes more than just great music.

Planning a country-themed event is no small thing — and if you’re flying solo without an event planner, we totally get how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why we’ve put together this list of trusted local vendors and online stores we’ve experienced.

We’re just passing along recommendations to help lighten your load. These are the kinds of folks we’d call if we were throwing our own shindig.

Whether you're dreaming up a backyard bash, a barn wedding, or a corporate event with some serious southern charm, these vendors can help bring your vision to life.
