Get to Know Our Exclusive Planner: Southern Oak Events
Everyone knows that when it comes to planning a wedding, it’s a lot of work. From securing vendors to planning a seating chart to ensuring the big day goes exactly as planned and everything in between, there’s a ton to work through. Doing it all by yourself can be daunting, which is why most newlyweds-to-be opt to hire a wedding planner.
At Melrose Knitting Mill, we exclusively partner with Southern Oak Events, which has curated a plethora of beautiful weddings at our Downtown Raleigh venue throughout the years. Owner Jessica Tilton and her team have planned, managed, and designed hundreds of weddings since 2014. They boast a great attention to detail and customer service that they apply to weddings of all price points. “To us, experience is priceless,” Tilton says. And we couldn’t agree more!
