Susan Richards

As someone who has lived in 5 different states in my adult life, one of the toughest questions anybody could ask me is: "Where are you from?" Moving to Savannah in 2012 , I've been so lucky to have planted roots in this wonderful city around the most incredible community of friends and colleagues with my family nearby.

Since starting SYE with my dear friend Emily in 2016, I have provided years of event experience to the clients we serve, but also a deep understanding of the importance of the moments that they are able to spend with their nearest and dearest on their special days. I always make it my priority to ensure my clients can also be guests at their own events, and are able to relax, enjoy, appreciate, and celebrate all of the wonderful people around them!

When I'm not creating floor plans, coordinating with our fantastic team of vendor partners, or finalizing event timelines, you can find me sipping coffee outside on my dock or spending as much time as I can with my 3 daughters and all of their sweet kiddos. That's right - I'm a proud "Sue-Sue" to eight grandchildren all under 6!

Emily DeLoach

Born and raised in the Atlanta area, I started doing day-of-coordination as a side hobby for friends and their friends. I absolutely fell in love with wedding and event planning. Fast forward 17 years, I have seen and done it all! I have done beach to mountain, city to small town, local to long distance. You can put me just about anywhere, and I can plan it. Every wedding is unique, and it gives me such joy to help people have the wedding of their dreams. I could not be more blessed with the best clients and I truly work on the best team in the industry. I always learn something new from every client, event, and my incredible team. Every event always brings something new and exciting to the table because of the unique signature each client places on their day. I will forever take these pearls of knowledge along my journey as a planner.

A little more about me as a planner:

I love a good “punch list”, a rock solid timeline, and a detailed floor plan. I also enjoy building spaces with tenting, draping, lighting, and textiles. I thrive on making the whole process fun and as stress-free as possible. While I do love the planning process leading into the wedding day, I will admit my favorite part is day-of when everything (and everyone) comes together in harmony. All the months of planning syncs up, and my clients have the day of their dreams. It is incredible to watch and be a small part of. It is absolutely your day, and I will always strive to make sure you love every moment of it.

About me outside of planning:

In 2013, my husband made a major career change that brought us to Savannah. We absolutely love the playground that is Coastal Georgia. When I am not coordinating weddings and events, you can find me loving on our three kiddos. They keep us busy, laughing, and always on our toes. Life with them is full speed, and we would not have it any other way. Other loves: quality time with my husband, fun new foods, good conversation, great movies or shows, podcasts, traveling, laughter, and home projects (lately those have been kid projects that usually involve a glue gun) which make our home a “homey home” for our family. You are always invited to our home on Friday Night for Pizza & Popcorn!

Lead event director / client relations coordinator

Madeline Jackson

As a Lead Event Director for our ATL office and the Client Relations Coordinator for Sincerely Yours Events, I am typically the first person each client talks with to learn more about what SYE has to offer. It is so special getting to be a part of each wedding and event from the very beginning and to see a client’s vision come to life!

Born and raised in Savannah as the daughter of a wedding planner/designer, it is easy to say that the wedding industry runs in my blood. From designing florals to establishing relationships with each of our clients, I can truly say this is the second most rewarding job around! The first? Being a wife to my lovely husband Kyle and a mother to our son, Connor.

When I am not chatting with clients, you can catch me chasing around our crazy toddler, or out for a walk on the Atlanta Beltline!

Amelia Smith

From Jefferson, Georgia, I've now called Savannah home for 10 years now. As someone with a background in marketing and the legal world, there is nothing I love more than working with clients and making their visions come to life! I am a people person who loves to help a client achieve their dream day.

If you ask my parents they will tell you I started planning my own wedding from the day I was born, so it is only fitting that I now help brides do the same! When I'm not chatting with a client, you can find me spending time with my husband, our twins Blair and Ford, and our dog, Winston.

Clare Saunders

Being born and raised in Savannah, GA, I have always called the Lowcountry home.

During the process of planning my own wedding, I discovered my passion for the wedding industry. I am a firm believer that trends will come and go, but a classic design that is unique to each client will stand the test of time.

When I’m not dressed in black covering the details of your big day, you can find me shopping in Downtown Savannah, traveling with my fiancé, or on the boat with family, friends, and our Boykin Spaniel Rhett!

Madison Tovar

As a lifelong resident of Savannah, my love for event planning and design is influenced by the city’s irresistible charm. With a background in interior design, I love creating beautiful spaces by focusing on details and making the client's vision become a reality. I am deeply fulfilled by watching the joy of my clients as they celebrate such a special milestone and creating everlasting memories.

While event planning is my passion, my true loves are spending time and traveling with my husband, son, and our sweet pup. In my freetime, you can usually find me downtown at the local coffee shops or at the beach reading a good book.

Laura Potts

I was raised in Atlanta, but spent my 20’s living and working in Hospitality and PR in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and London. I landed back in Atlanta where I raised identical twin boys, and in my spare time started a successful Wedding Planning and Design firm catering to couples throughout the Southeast. With an empty nest, I made my way to the Hostess City and have brought my 20 years of experience to join the ladies of Sincerely Yours Events.

A little more about me as a planner:

I love a color-coded timeline, a floorplan that is symmetrical, and linens that are laid perfectly on a table! I have a thing for the tiniest details. I believe the key to a perfect event is about the relationships you build with the couple and their families, which extend well beyond their weekend. I am blessed that I proudly call many of my past client’s friends

About me outside of planning:

I love to cook and spend every Saturday I can at the Farmer’s Market in Forsyth Park. We are a house divided, UGA and Georgia Tech, so football season is THE season in our home! I will take the Mountains over the Beach any day, but do love coming home to the Low Country. I have tried to be cool and love all the new coffee houses that are popping up, but always find my way back to good ol’ Starbucks where an Iced Soy Latte is my drink of choice. I love taking long walks with my sweet old Chocolate Lab, Orvis and Sunday boat trips on the Intracoastal with my partner in Crime, Dave.
