Meet The Owners

My name is Jacqulyn Floria, founder of The Next Chapter Events. My journey in the world of creativity and celebration began in 2019, when I opened my first small business crafting wood signs, custom decals, and handmade décor. Over the years, I expanded my skills into wedding signage, floral arrangements, custom apparel, and personalized gifts—slowly building a reputation for quality, passion, and heartfelt detail.

In December 2022, my life changed in a way I never could have imagined with the tragic loss of my one-year-old son. As I stepped away from my growing business to walk through grief and the difficult legal process, everything paused. Healing came slowly, and with it came a deep shift in purpose. After relocating first to Tennessee and eventually settling in Newnan, Georgia, I knew it was time to rebuild—not just a business, but a new beginning.

The Next Chapter Events was born from that transformation. This business represents renewal, resilience, and honoring the moments that matter most. What began as a small crafting venture has grown into a full-service wedding and event experience—designed to bring beauty, ease, and intention to life’s biggest celebrations.

Today, I pour my heart into creating unforgettable events with professionalism, creativity, and care. Every detail matters, every moment counts, and every client becomes part of the story I am honored to help write. This is my next chapter—and I am grateful to share it with you.

My name is Tamara Crawford, Co-Founder of The Next Chapter Events. I began my career in the music industry as a vocalist, traveling and meeting many different people along the way. In 2018, I moved to Georgia after I found my eldest biological brother. It was life changing. However, I knew God had more life-changing events in store for me. I decided it was time for me to explore a new adventure.

That decision was born from a dream—one that stayed with me through many seasons of life. As a single mother for many years, I poured my heart into raising my children and caring for others, often placing my own goals on hold. Life brought its share of hardships and unexpected challenges, but through it all, my faith remained my foundation and strength.

Now, I’ve stepped into a new season—one where I can finally pursue something that is truly rewarding while building a meaningful legacy. The Next Chapter Events is more than a business to me—it’s the continuation of that journey and a reflection of perseverance, purpose, and new beginnings.

I’ve always had a passion for creating, an eye for detail, and a love for bringing beautiful visions to life. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing everything come together and knowing I’ve helped create a moment that will be cherished for years to come. Through The Next Chapter Events, I am honored to help others celebrate their most important milestones—designing experiences that are intentional, elegant, and unforgettable.

Because every love story, every milestone, and every moment deserves a beautiful next chapter.
