A wedding planner who can get you through a hurricane!

We were so grateful to entrust Madeline with planning our wedding. We were especially appreciative of her responsiveness, flexibility, and professionalism after hurricane Isaias - we had to postpone our wedding by one day because of the storm! She is very responsive, even-keeled, and flexible. The whole time, we knew we could entrust Madeline with making our ceremony meaningful and personalized, so that we could enjoy the celebration. She's clearly an expert in what she does!

best wedding planners EVER!!!

AMAZING!!!!! Seriously - our wedding day would not have run so smoothly if it weren't for Madeline & the Southern Frills team. Madeline worked us for the month-of, but she had been in touch with us well before that and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. She was calm, organized, and always thinking ahead, which gave me so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for her support and care throughout the entire process

Kelly Rhodes at Southern Frills is the literal BEST!!!!

Kelly is absolutely amazing! My husband and I loved working with her! Kelly helped plan our New Year’s Eve reception and it was a literal dream! When I walked into the venue for the first time I was in tears at how incredible everything was! Not only is Kelly incredibly professional and organized, but she’s also one of the sweetest people I have ever met! Kelly’s meticulous attention to detail made for a perfect night! Everything was so easy and stress free! We could not have found a better event planner- she is FABULOUS! If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Kelly, you will be so impressed! Kelly is so talented and will make your event more amazing than you could ever imagine!!!!

Two thumbs up, 10/10, 5 star

Kelly and her team made my dream wedding a reality. I chose the full planning option + rehearsal planning + sparkler exit, which was worth every penny, I barely had to lift a finger. From finding exactly what I was looking for (or even better) to booking all the appointments and attending them with me so she could ask all the right questions. I was told by multiple people that they were surprised by how calm of a bride I was throughout the entire planning process, and I truly owe it all to Kelly. 10/10 recommend, especially if you want a beautiful but stress free wedding planned.

The Best!!

Kelly and her team were an absolute dream to work with!! She was so patient and helpful in all of the decision making. She listened to all of my ideas and helped guide us in making the right choices for our wedding. On wedding day, she transformed the space and completely brought our vision to life. Our entire wedding day flowed perfectly thank to Kelly. We LOVED working with her and would hire her again in a heartbeat! Kelly genuinely cares about her clients and that shines through in her work!

Wedding Wizards!


I loved working with Kelly and her team!
They were very professional and thorough. She made me feel comfortable from day one and exceeded my expectations for service.
Kelly made it easy to work with my schedule and always responded in a timely manner.
For the day of the wedding I truly believe her efforts were what made the day a huge success. She had a handle on everything and we felt very well taken care of.
From my perspective they had everything well organized and we even had our wedding party compliment their work ethic. Our best man observed they were constantly working that day and felt we made a great call in acquiring their services.
I realistically could not have asked for more for my wedding. It was a beautiful day, we had the best time, and Southern Frills helped make that a reality.
We highly recommend them for your own wedding. They helped me get all the details nailed down and relieved a lot of stress from the planning. Our wedding would not have been the same without them!

You need kelly & her team

Where to even start? As a newly wed, I cannot say enough how important a planner can be for your experience. With that advice, I must urge you to call Southern Frills.. Kelly is the most kind and caring person, she lingers on the details and puts her entire heart into every event she does. I was blessed to have Kelly as a planner. My Godmother found her through reviews and setting that first meet & greet with her was the smartest wedding decision we made. Seriously. She and her team supported us and our entire wedding tribe throughout the entire process. She brought me so much peace of mind and I felt I could trust her, and I am so glad we did - our day was a dream. Weddings are suppose to be fun and full of love, but they can be stressful - please trust me and budget for a good planner, it truly makes all the difference! Kelly will always find a magical way to bring your dreams to reality for your big day. To the entire Southern Frills crew, thank you! You truly made our day a dream, we are forever grateful!!! For anyone reading this.. Southern Frills a call - it should be the first and best decision you make! Kelly, Maddie & Xylia - you gals rock, THANK YOUUUUUU

The best wedding planner in the world

Kelly went above and beyond all of my expectations and handled every situation with class and elegance. Being that I am from out of town, she handled every single thing for me and made sure I was taken care of during the planning process and wedding. She truly is the sweetest, most caring planner and I (secretly) miss our meetings/ planning together :)
She is simply amazing. Xo

Cannot recommend enough!

If you are asking yourself if you need a wedding planner, you are not alone. We thought the same thing. We are very organized and thorough people; first thought was we could handle this. After working through the beginning stages we quickly realized that organized does not equate to expertise in the wedding business. That is where Southern Frills comes into play. Hiring them was the greatest move we made in making our wedding a success. From the consistent email support, to the month before dedicated meetings, to the day of, they are hands down amazing. Their expertise allowed us to craft an unmatched group of vendors that handled what we all worry about, weather getting in the way of the wedding.

With Maddie’s direction, the vendor team was able to transition our beach wedding to indoors without missing a beat. Our guests raved at how amazing everything looked and didn’t even realize it wasn’t planned to be indoors. Even more important, they handled everything, we were able to concentrate on our guests and the day instead of the details. If you are reading this you are most likely looking for a planner, I can’t express enough to stop looking, you have found the right one. They will take your vision and make it a reality, and if the unexpected does occur, they can handle it.

Thank you to Kelly and Maddie for making our wedding day amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
