Alyssa was very knowledgable of our venue (The Umstead), organized, dependable, adaptable, and fun throughout the entire planning process! She made planning a wedding less stressful !! It was so comforting to know that she was there to make sure everything went smoothly… and it definitely did!

Alyssa and her team executed an exceptional job! My daughter's wedding at the Umstead in Cary was flawless! Alyssa's support was incredible- from addressing emails promptly to arranging an extra in-person meeting. My daughter Nanny and I had complete peace of mind with her overseeing everything!! I highly recommend her for anyone considering a wedding at the Umstead!

Lacey and her team helped to make my daughter Ruby's wedding effortless, relaxing, and worry free the days leading up to and day of the wedding. With rain looming she guided the decision to wait, wait, wait... and the rain did stop so we could have the ceremony outside at the Umstead. I didn't have a worry. From the start Southern Soiree provided guidance with kindness and professionalism. The truly know the business which allowed me to trust their answers on so many of the unknowns about hosting a wedding. The responded to ALL my questions. I never felt like I was bothering them or had an insignificant question. They respected our vision for the wedding. We felt like an expert friend was holding our hand. Lacey always has a smile and lightheartedness about her. Southern Soiree's mastery and intimacy concerning everything weddings is a true triumph as was out wedding!!!

We had a great experience working with Alyssa from a Southern Soiree! She was extremely organized and responsive throughout the entire process. She put our mind at ease on our wedding day, allowing us to enjoy the day without stressing about the details. We literally could not have done it without Alyssa and her team!

Elizabeth and the entire team at A Southern Soiree was unbelievable and a dream to work with. All of the vendors we worked with were amazing and a joy to work with. I cannot speak highly of them enough. I would highly highly recommend working with A Southern Soiree for wedding planning services- they are simply the best.

We are so thankful we worked with Alyssa for our August Umstead wedding!! From every email, planning meeting to the big day she was on top of it, kind and so patient with us. It rained 30 minutes before our ceremony start time and you never would have known because everything ran so smoothly. She and the SS team were a dream to work it!

Alyssa and her team were wonderful to work with. Throughout the planning process she made sure we weren’t missing anything and kept us on track. In the last few weeks Alyssa and her team were very present to hep with the ramp up process as the date got closer. The day of the team kept things moving and were a very calming and professional presence to the night. Alyssa was easy to message with last minute questions and would immediately answer with the issue addressed. We were very happy with how everything turned out the day of and it was in great part to Alyssa and her team. I give them my highest recommendation!

When you hire ASouthernSoriee for your wedding, it’s a guarantee that your day will be more than what you could possibly dream of. I was lucky enough to work with Elizabeth as my full service wedding planner. Her professionalism, kindness, desire to bring her clients vision to life, passion, attention to detail, highly organized and truly so much more made my engagement season, wedding planning and wedding day absolutely perfect. Besides her talent in the wedding industry, Elizabeth honestly cares about her clients and she quickly became more than “my wedding planner” but a friend. It was the highlights of my week to talk to Elizabeth. After planning for almost 2 years, my wedding happened on April 23 2022. Everyone says their biggest regret is not enjoying the moment and biggest advice was that something will go wrong just try not to get upset about it. I promise you those two things won’t be true at all when you hire this team. I 110% lived in each moment, I was present with absolute no worry in the world because this team did EVERYTHING! I have no idea how people can have weddings without them because I would be lost. If I could give advice to any bride it would be to hire this team, this will make your day absolutely perfect plus more ❤️

There will never be enough words to describe how amazing this team at A Southern Soiree truly are. I was lucky enough to work with Lacey leading up to my big day, and then Lacey and Victoria the day-of and let me tell you something: they were MAGICAL. Every single detail was thought of---from the months leading up to the wedding to the actual day-of. They were organized, coordinated, calm, collected, and SO kind and informative. The day would honestly not have been the same without Lacey there at the Umstead running the show with the team. As a previous event planner I am here to tell you: hire them for your big day. It will be one of the best decisions you make FOR SURE.

Megan, Gina, and Victoria helped to make our dream a reality! While we had to postpone from 2020, they helped to rebook all vendors and took a lot of the planning stress away from us. On the day of, they kept things running smoothly and worry-free. The team is well connected in the vendor network, and helped us to select the best of the best!
