The Southern Planner is the way to go!!!
Working with Shelby was an absolute dream!! She made everything flow so smoothly, not just for the bride and groom, but for all of us vendors too. Truly a pleasure to work with, and I hope we get to team up again soon!
Great!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Shelby from The Southern Planner at a wedding, and I was incredibly impressed. She is organized, professional, and has a calm, confident presence that keeps everything running smoothly. As a fellow vendor, it's always a huge bonus when the planner is on top of every detail—and Shelby absolutely was. The day flowed effortlessly, and I could tell the couple was in great hands. I'd gladly work with her again any time!
Great planner for wedding/events
We really enjoyed working with The Southern Planner team on a recent wedding. They were organized, easy to communicate with, and made the day run smoothly for everyone involved. It’s always a big help when the planner keeps things on track and makes sure all the vendors are on the same page. Looking forward to working together again in the future!
Made this process enjoyable and easy
Our experience with The Southern Planner was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we first connected, Shelby and her team demonstrated a prompt, fun, and calming communication style that immediately put us at ease. Their dedication to our special day was evident in every detail - they were truly invested in ensuring our wedding was a success. Shelby's keen eye for timely, insightful planning meant I didn't have to worry about a single thing, and she even went so far as to literally keep my dress out of the mud during our photo session. I honestly believe Shelby was sent to me by God, and I am forever grateful for the Southern Planner's invaluable support in making our wedding day perfect.
