My calm in all the stress

Every time I got on a phone call with Bethany she was truly my calm. She took so much of the stress off of me and reminded me that she had everything was under control. I could call her whenever and she was there to talk anything over. I had some communication issues with one of my vendors and she took full control, even went directly up to their office for me since I’m out of town. Well worth the money!!!

BEST ever!

Bethany & Liz were INCREDIBLE! Due to a storm both our ceremony and cocktail hour had to be moved to a new location. Both were incredibly attentive and flexible with all of the changes and made it look effortless. We couldn’t have done it without them!!

Amazing Wedding Thanks to Southern Hospitality!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ashley and her team! She understood my wedding vision from the very start and was ALWAYS available to meet/email to ensure all my questions were answered (while also planning her own wedding!). She is direct and honest which is so helpful in making quick decisions and finding solutions to challenges that inevitably pop up. She worked so incredibly hard throughout the entire wedding day but always had a smile on her face in the process. I can't think of a better person to make the wedding of our dreams happen!
