Our Services
The Southern Planner Experience
At The Southern Planner, our approach is refined, intentional, and tailored to how you want to plan. Some clients entrust us with full-service planning from the very beginning — vision, vendors, and every detail in between. Others come to us for coordination, having thoughtfully planned their celebration and wanting an expert to step in and execute it flawlessly.
Full-service planning offers comprehensive guidance from start to finish, while coordination focuses on refining logistics and managing the wedding weekend with precision. No matter the level of service, our standard remains the same: calm leadership, clear communication, and seamless execution — so you can be fully present and confident every detail is handled.
