Thank you, Kimberly!
We loved working with Kimberly! She made it so easy and gave us the chance to be present during our special day instead of coordinating. -

So thankful for Kimberly!
Kimberly was wonderful throughout the planning process and on our wedding day! She went above and beyond to help us finalize so many details and reduce my stress levels leading up to the wedding. Our wedding day was an absolute whirlwind, and I am SO glad that we had her and Jessica there to keep everything running smoothly. -

Brittany is simply the best!!!
Brittany is a GEM and was absolutely critical to our wedding. I hired her as a day-of coordinator after I had a phone call with her where she immediately started to build my trust. I felt that I could trust her to execute on my wedding vision, and boy did she deliver! She will go above and beyond and do things that aren’t even in her job description (like vent with you over the phone over how COVID has affected your wedding). Her day-of timeline captured every detail and she did a great job communicating with the vendors to make sure everyone arrived on time and with everything they needed. I also really appreciated that Brittany was flexible yet honest with the timeline, even on day-of -- she was honest about how long something would take but ultimately let us make the final call without any judgement. We felt like we were still in control of our wedding day while still being able to trust her 100%. One of the best vendors we hired; 10/10 would recommend Brittany over and over again! Hire her!-

Southern Class Planning
Brittany was amazing. Unfortunately, I had to cancel due to COVID but she was so easy to communicate with and was super understanding. She gave me a refund for my full amount that I deposited and that meant the world to me since most vendors wouldn’t do that. She is as sweet as can be and will make your day perfect! -

Wedding Planner
Brittany was awesome! She was very helpful with vendor recommendations, sticking to timeline, organizing the wedding day and keeping all the vendors in the know with where they should be and at what time. My wedding day went so smoothly! I couldn’t recommend her enough! -

Best Money I spent!
Brittney & co at Southern class planning we’re AMAZING! She was extremely responsive, even with my crazy neurotic was emailing over a year in advanced. She was a great sounding board for ideas and finding vendors. She executed everything exactly as I envisioned it and made me able to truly real and enjoy my day. Thank you so much for all you did to make the day so perfect and special for me and my husband! Seriously, don’t hesitate to hire them for you day! It is worth every penny and will make you able to let go and enjoy your special day! -

Brittany was an absolute dream!
Brittany was so attentive and detail-oriented from day one! Before my own wedding, I’d only been to one other wedding and that was only as a guest, so I really did not know what all went into planning a ceremony. Brittany was so understanding and helpful and made the process so easy and worry-free. She’d always give me different options for different parts of the ceremony and she helped make it so perfect! On the day of, she continued that energy and everything went off without a hitch! She was able to corral people when necessary and kept us so on schedule that I really could just enjoy our special day without worrying if everything behind the scenes was taken care of. Absolutely HIGHLY recommend Southern Class Planning and Brittany! She’s amazing!! -

There for us every step of the way!
Brittany from Southern Class Planning was like one of those wedding planners you see in the movies. She made the entire planning process so easy to understand and was there for us every step of the way. During our wedding day, Brittany and her assistant took care of every detail; we didn't have to worry about anything. I'm so glad our venue recommended this coordinator. Definitely don't know what we would have done without her. Note to all brides: you can't handle this day alone! Hire yourself a coordinator! Brittany is the best, hands down! -

The most caring, driven and compassionate coordinator imaginable
There's no way to truly express my gratitude for SCP, and especially Brittany Newell. The amount of care and love that my husband and I were shown is more than I ever expected. Brittany filled every nook and cranny of things we had forgotten or couldn't decide on for our wedding, while also having the best solution to any problem we ran into. My mom ended up in the hospital right before our wedding and was not able to attend. Brittany sent so many photos and videos to my mom throughout the whole day, and helped me get through this hard time. I don't know if we could ever say thank you enough for everything you did for me, my husband, and my family, but we're so glad to have had SCP for our special day! -

Best coordinator ever!
Brittany is THE BEST!!! She did an absolutely outstanding job on our wedding. We do not live in Georgia, but were getting married there so unfortunately were limited in meetings etc. But she did an absolutely amazing job keeping in touch, helping give suggestions and recommendations for vendors, and meeting to tour the venue on the one weekend we could make it down there. The day of she did a wonderful job herding our loud and crazy wedding party and families, and keeping everything perfect and exactly the way we wanted it - all with a big smile on her face :) I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in the GA area! Thanks Brittany! -

We had such a wonderful experience with Brittney and Danielle at SCP. From the beginning to the end they made magic come to life. (And we had a lot to put together, haha). We are so thankful for how great they did and how awesome they were to work with. Hats off ladies!!-

Outstanding
Very professional and the customer service was outstanding. Their goal was to make the day stress free and perfect in every way. They kept us on track and handled all the little things that came up. At the end of the evening they gathered everything together and made it very easy for us. We could not have done it without them. -

Brittany and Danielle were so sweet and did an incredible job keeping everything organized and in line the day of the wedding. Brittany made the process seamless and was easy to get in contact with. She distributed the timeline to all vendors and if there was a change at the last minute she made sure everyone was aware. I would definitely recommend Southernclass Planning to any and all friends getting married. Thank you Brittany and Danielle for your efforts! Best day ever! -

Brittany was amazing! We had a cosplay themed wedding and she had so many ideas to help add to our special day. I was also an out of stare bride and she made herself available to me anytime I needed through phone, text, or email. She also has such a great relationship with the staff at our venue. I must say I was perfectly paired with her. I also was so lost as to how to do the wedding timing and order of events and Brittany helped pretty much make the time line with me step by step. Awesome experience made everything super easy! -

Having a planner was the best wedding decision we made! Brittany was so helpful and so patient with us while we navigated our way through everything. I can't tell you how grateful we are that we spent the extra money to have Southern Class Planning. Our coordinators were Brittany and Danielle and these two ladies were so on-top of everything from start to finish. Do yourself the favor and just budget for a coordinator. You will alleviate so much stress. We had our dream wedding!!! -

Brittany did a phenomenal job as our day of coordinator for our Feb 2018 wedding. From the first meeting to the venue exit, she was on top of every detail. She was attentive and flexible, always checking with us to make sure we were happy with how the wedding was flowing. I couldn’t have asked for a better day and I know a lot of that was because of Brittany!! -

Brittany helped us with our day of details for our wedding in November 2017. She was INCREDIBLE. From making sure every detail was perfect to making sure I had a cold drink when I was getting ready, she was there for everything! My family adored her and she was friendly and professional through every moment! I would recommend her to help plan anything you have, especially a day as important as your wedding! <3
She even captured the first look between my husband and I. She is just that good :) -

Brittany saved my friend’s wedding at the last minute. She was hired after the bride let go her former coordinator and completely saved this wedding from complete chaos. On the day of the wedding, she did an amazing job of decorating, keeping the wedding party on schedule and managing the vendors. Thank you so much Brittany for all of your help! I can’t wait to use you for my own wedding one day! -

We used Brittany as a Day off coordinator and she was a TOTAL Professional. From the first meeting to the day of, she was huge help at making sure our vision came through ON BUDGET. Shes very attentive to your needs and details and will make sure everything goes off without a hitch. If anything does go wrong, she will resolve it/tend to it before you ( bride/groom) even know about it. She was a delight to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a planner or day of coordinator -

Brittany was amazing! She stayed ahead of our needs not just the day of my daughter's wedding but during the planning as well. She stayed calm when any issues came up and dealt with them like a pro. One of the bridesmaids spilled a drink on her dress and Brittany knew how to blot it out with club soda so it would not ruin the pictures or the wedding! Thanks so much for everything Brittany! -

Southern Class Planning was recommended to me by a family member in the industry so I knew she was going to be good! Brittany has such a calm and sweet personality but with a “get it done” attitude- always professional and prepared!! She made every step of the planning process easy and enjoyable, and I truely felt like I had a hotline for expert wedding advice whenever I had a question. She also taught me a few things when planning with other vendors to make sure they weren’t taking advantage and just trying to boost their own commission... which was very eye opening to me! Not only did Brittany surpass all of my expectations, but the entire bridal party loved her too!! She made the entire day so fun for everyone and everything ran seamlessly! (P.S. we had a few personal issues on the day of the wedding and Brittany found solutions and literally fixed all of my problems! I would have been lost without her!!!) Highly recommend to all brides and future brides out there!!! -

Brittany Newell is a PRO! We never had to do a thing! This girl communicates with everyone and makes sure no detail is missed. So glad we found her. She thought of things that both bride and mother of the bride didn't think of. Absolute perfection! Thank you Brittany!!!! -

Had to fire a week before wedding- no reviews since 2020
I hired Southern Class Planning as my wedding coordinator about a month and a half before the wedding (Nov 2022). We interviewed Kimberly and we’re convinced, after reading the reviews, she would do a good job. Unfortunately, I was very wrong. We ended up having to fire her a week and a half before my wedding.
Everything was done by the time she stepped in. All she needed to do was coordinate arrival times for the vendors ect (final detail things)- to make the brides month of smooth sailing and stress free. She was not able to do that.
Things she failed to do:
She was not responsive to me nor any of the vendors. The only emails she would send out were sent out because I would respond to the email days later asking if she had responded. Week one I had to follow up with her to get a schedule from her because it was days after she told me I should have it and she hadn’t sent anything (came to be typical). The schedule she sent was a complete mess, didn’t work, and I ended up having to make my own. As an example of the bad schedule she made- Kimberly had my band only playing for 1.5/2 hours (when they were paid for 4). She showed up to my final wedding walk through 30 minutes late, then didn’t talk or give her opinion on anything. (Which is really when you need your wedding planner to step up and help get everything finalized.) When she did reach out to vendors, after I bothered her about following up with them, she would confuse them and give them completely different information than had already been communicated to them - all emails which she was included on, so she must not have even been reading her emails at all. The day before she was fired I spoke with my venue about Kimberly- they informed me that they had “not received a timeline or any information from (her)”. A week and a half before the day and she hadn’t reached out to the venue. That is bad.
Her lack of action caused things to go awry at my wedding because we had to hire someone to come in to pick up the pieces and organize everything with little time.
When I emailed Kimberly when we were letting her go she said she knew she had done a poor job and refunded my money. No reason or excuse for her failing so terribly.
Kimberly bought this company recently from the previous owner. If you look at the reviews they are all for the previous owner. None for her. Unfortunately for me, I realized that only after hiring her. At the time, I couldn’t find a single review on her name- just this company name which she bought out recently. She was friendly enough when I could get a response, and she did return my money, but I wouldn’t have had anything go wrong on my day if it weren’t for hiring her and putting trust in the reviews. I caution you against using her as she was incredibly inexperienced from my experience.
Make sure you do your research on companies and verify who you are getting and that you can match names with reviews. All the reviews are from 2020. No new ones with her name. Kimberly recently had a baby and it seemed she couldn’t balance that with a wedding planning job - even one that had everything done and required minimal work from her.
I don’t typically write reviews but I feel a responsibility to warn others about using Kimberly with Southern Class Planning. If I hadn’t just had 3 other weddings in my family, I wouldn’t have known she was falling very short of her duties. I don’t want someone’s day to be ruined by hiring her, so I needed tell people about my experience.
You put a lot of trust & responsibility into your wedding planner’s hands. I suggest you put your trust into someone more reliable, more responsible, and more capable than Kimberly at Southern Class Planning. -
