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!!!!Kelly is absolutely amazing! My husband and I loved working with her!

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.Kelly and her team made my dream wedding a reality.

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!

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 :)

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

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.

The Best Day of Our Lives - Thanks to Southern Frills Weddings & Events
Words cannot express how happy and grateful I am to have had Kelly (Southern Frills Weddings & Events) for not only our wedding day, but also our whole journey along the way.
I was the first of my sisters to get married, so I started out with NO idea of where to start when it came to planning a wedding.
When our venue required us to hire at least a day-of coordinator, I was skeptical of who I could find to truly want what was best for me and what I visioned for our wedding day. Long story short, this was THE BEST thing that could have ever happened to me. This led me to Kelly and her amazing business.
Working with Kelly was the EASIEST thing about the whole wedding planning process. From day one, she answered every question, email and text I sent. Not once did she make me feel like a bother! And when I say I had a million questions about everything.. that's keeping this review simple. There is no other person/company I would have rather worked with and will ONLY suggest Southern Frills to anyone that needs a wedding planner.
I never imagined the process of planning/wedding day could be made so easy. Everything was more organized than I could ever imagine. Kelly kept up with every detail, contract, and plan I ever sent. With working full-time and also planning a full blown wedding during a pandemic AND hurricane, Kelly was able to accommodate my schedule and the time I had when I needed to meet. This alone is more helpful than a lot of people realize.
I was having an issue communicating with another vendor and becoming discouraged / stressed, literally the first email I sent Kelly about the situation, the vendor reached back out to me the same day. I don't know how she works her magic, but IT WORKS. One of my favorite appointments Kelly came on was our final walkthrough at the venue to plan details of set up. She measured every angle, designed our floor plan, came up with a rain back-up plan with me way before the wedding day to save me the stress. Every single thing I mentioned that day was written down and executed the day of the wedding.
Now to talk about the actual wedding day...
Our wedding was the wedding of our dreams AND more.
One of my main goals all along was to have no stress on myself, the groom and our parents. We wanted everyone to be able to enjoy the day and getting ready without having to worry about setting up anything or dealing with anything they didn't need to. Needless to say, there was NO stress on anyone involved ON WEDDING DAY, which is crazy to even get to say! Kelly and Maddy handled everything flawlessly. We were given detailed itineraries that everyone could follow. I was never bothered with questions on where I needed something set up (like I said, this was all decided BEFORE the day of the wedding). My wedding day motto was "Ask Kelly!" and the only thing we had to decide on was if we wanted someone to get more beer once we ran out! I let the Southern Frills girls know that some decor I brought could be placed wherever they thought it was needed, they respected my style and made our wedding look so high-end and detailed!! Seeing my parents being able to relax and enjoy the day was the best experience I could've asked for. The groom even got to fish for half the day! No worries in the world! We received endless compliments from guests about how our wedding was the best they had ever been to.

Amazing!
I can't even express how helpful Kelly and Maddie were leading up to my wedding and especially on the big day! I started my wedding planning process trying to do things on my own and immediately when we hired them I felt so much relief knowing they had everything taken care of and I wasn't missing anything. They were so organized and had every small thing planned out with every single detail on what would happen on the day off. Maddie was my coordinator and she responded instantly to anything I had questions about or any small changes I had. I had something come up two weeks before my wedding that I was upset about with another vendor and she really stepped in and took over to made sure I got everything I wanted! My wedding day would not have even been possible without this company and all that they did! They worked so hard to make sure me and my husband got everything we wanted and were happy at all times. Of course, there were a couple problems that happened the day of that they got fixed or improvised and I had no idea there were even problems that day or that we weren't "on schedule". I am so grateful we hired them and very thankful for everything they did to make my wedding perfect and me stress-free the whole planning process.I can't even express how helpful Kelly and Maddie were leading up to my wedding and especially on the big day!

great team!
Kelly and her team were absolutely amazing. Kelly is so organized and her communication was so appreciated. I ended up having to change venues four weeks before my wedding and she helped me to handle the stress and transition like a pro. They did such a beautiful job helping to set up the space and make sure the events of the evening flowed effortlessly. It was a beautiful wedding and I can't thank her and Maddie enough!Kelly and her team were absolutely amazing. Kelly is so organized and her communication was so appreciated.

Made my wedding dreams come true!
From the very beginning of planning Kelly
was a gift to work with. Words can’t even express my gratitude for Kelly and her staff. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was THE PERFECT wedding and it’s all because of them. I came to her with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. She had beautiful ideas and kept me on track with the planning process. (Kelly is the most organized and detailed person I know) If I had a random question all I had to do was shoot her a text or email and I’d always hear back instantly. When I would get overwhelmed with all things covid related she would calm me down and give me the best advice I needed to hear. Kelly is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her help. She always had everything 100% under control...even when there was an expected hurricane planning to hit the weekend of our wedding day. She contacted all my vendors and had a game plan if the weather went south. (thank the good Lord the weather turned out perfect come wedding time) On our wedding day I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Kelly and her team were on it. Every little detail, every step of the way. Me and my family were able to enjoy ourselves. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner, and I’m so grateful that we picked Kelly to help us throughout our wedding planning.

Southern Frills made my wedding day absolutely PERFECT! This was a destination wedding for me so planning from states away could be difficult at times. Whenever I had any issue arise, Kelly handled it and always made me feel so much better. Kelly took care of absolutely everything for me on the day of to make sure I was relaxed and enjoying my special day. She also made the ceremony and reception are look absolutely beautiful. I could not have asked for anything better. The day could not have been possible without Southern Frills. Whether it be the big details or the small ones like having a frozen towel waiting on us to cool us off on the HOT summer day. My Husband and I got so many compliments from all of our guests and family about the great service.I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area or even anyone just planning to have a wedding or event in the area. You can't go wrong with Southern Frills. They are absolutely amazing. Thank you for making my day PERFECT.Southern Frills made my wedding day absolutely PERFECT!

Extraordinary
Kelly is truly a master at her craft!! She was a dream to work with & always gave me her most honest & professional opinion on things. I felt that I always had a million questions to ask her & whenever I would send her a message, whether that be day, evening or weekend, she would reply almost immediately! When it came to picking vendors that I hadn't already thought about myself, she had a list of 3-5 vendors for every category & their price points.. which saved a ton of time & research when it came down to picking different vendors. She was always in contact with my vendors for me, which took off so much stress of calling different people back & forth. She was EXTREMELY organized, down to printing my inspiration pictures & having an entire binder just for me & my big day. This was helpful for me because I am a very visual person & need to see things on paper. The binder was filled with details & inspo pictures of different floor plans, table settings, sweetheart table, Photo Booth ideas.. & the list goes on! I cannot tell you how many compliments I got on the decorations. People were blown away, especially me! Sure, it came from ideas that I wanted, but Kelly made my vision come to life - I asked "do you think we could hang greenery from the ceiling?" - & Kelly made it happen. For weeks after my wedding, people have contacted me telling me how much fun they had. I know for a FACT that my wedding would not have been as beautiful, as fun, or ran as SMOOTHLY as it did with Southern Frills. I would also like to point out Maddie, who was there as early as I was on my wedding day & getting things together. She was also a dream & always had a smile on her face! As a bride, I think it's near impossible not to have any stress, but Kelly made the entire process as stress free as possible for me. When the day finally came, I sat up in my bridal suite getting ready, as calm as I could be, knowing everything was under control. She even brought me a bottle of champagne at my rehearsal! I cannot recommend Kelly at Southern Frills enough. If you are planning a wedding or ANY event, Kelly & Maddie are the girls for you!! Don't even think twice about, they are 110% worth it!!!Kelly is truly a master at her craft!! She was a dream to work with & always gave me her most honest & professional opinion on things.

The best wedding planner/coordinator!
Grateful for Kelly and the Southern Frills team. They helped me plan (and replan due to Covid) and coordinated my wedding day so flawlessly! She listened to what I wanted and was so helpful when I had questions! She brought my vision to my venue, coordinated with all of my vendors and I could never thank her enough! We also had the best bridal stewardess the day of to make sure my bridesmaids and I had everything we needed, were fed, steamed our dresses, etc. Beyond grateful for the Southern Frills team!Grateful for Kelly and the Southern Frills team.

Kelli and her team were outstanding for my daughter‘s wedding!
I’m not sure what I would’ve done without Kelly! From day one working with her for my daughter‘s wedding was truly seamless. Thank goodness my daughter knew her and it took great stress off of me. She took care so many details that would have driven me crazy to try to take care of. Her experience and expertise were invaluable.I’m not sure what I would’ve done without Kelly!

She made our day BEAUTIFUL
I hired Kelly to be our Month-Of Wedding Coordinator and she did a fantastic job! She made great recommendations and answered all my questions in the planning process. She designed our floor plan and developed the entire timeline, which were awesome, but her work truly shined on our wedding day. When she arrived, we made the decision to host our reception inside due to the weather. She and her assistant, Maddie, completely transformed the space! They handled everything and I did not have a single worry or stress all day! She and Maddie made some executive decisions with the decor and I could not have been happier! She has an amazing eye and brought my vision to life! Our guests made multiple comments about how amazing our planner was!I hired Kelly to be our Month-Of Wedding Coordinator and she did a fantastic job!

Souther Frills has SKILLS!
I apologize in advance for how long this review may read, but I really can’t speak enough about the quality of service that Kelly and her team at Southern Frills Wedding & Events produced!
My fiancé Dan (now husband! Woohoo!) and I got engaged in Sep 2019 and were long distance (we were stationed in Cheyenne, WY and Great Falls, MT respectively). Although ecstatic about our engagement, I was worried about us planning a wedding at the exact same time as we were coordinating our military moves in Jan 2020. I am definitely not a planner, so I was looking for an expert in complete wedding planning. From Montana, I reached out to several planners in the Pensacola area to see if a Jan 3, 2020 date (roughly 3 months of planning) would be even possible. Kelly was lightning quick to contact me and set a date/time to talk to me and Dan. After our first conversation, Dan and I immediately knew that we were going to go with her—Kelly is professional, sweet, a GREAT listener, organized, and extremely detail oriented!
Despite the long distance between all 3 of us, she was flexible and kept great communication (phone calls, text, and email) with us. She recommended a number of amazing venues and vendors that met our price range. She even took pictures and videos of each venue we were interested in so that we could see what they looked like! As our wedding planner, she took care of talking to each vendor and upchanneling any questions/concerns we had. Once we decided to go with a vendor, she immediately got us the contract to review and sign. Kelly made it extremely easy to work with multiple agencies even if we couldn’t be there in person to do it. (She even handled our invitations and tracked RSVPs!) When we were able to visit home (last minute) and for a few days, she rapidly coordinated meetings for us to see the venue in person and even squeezed in a taste testing before we had to fly back.
Kelly is also prepared for anything! As a military member, I found her ability to foresee trouble and to prepare for those contingencies as a highly valued asset. When potential concerns arose (such as weather or venue), she had a back up plan ready to present to us and execute! All we had to do as a couple was to pull the trigger!
On the day of the wedding, I was not stressed AT ALL! Kelly sent multiple copies of a clear and detailed itinerary for my wedding party AND vendors on what to do at certain times and when to arrive/depart locations. I got to spend the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids and just focus on the excitement of seeing my groom! I would’ve never been able to do that on my own! Her organized planning made everything so seamless and PERFECT!
Kelly took care of set up and clean up of our venue. We chose one venue to serve as our ceremony and reception. With her creative and artistic ability, she transformed the space from ceremony style to intimate, fun reception style. I can’t speak enough on her decorating skills.. every little detail made was perfect and intentional. Kelly successfully translated what we wanted in our wedding—romantic, elegant, stress-free, and fun—into real life. I can’t imagine producing a beautiful, high-quality, and smooth wedding if we didn’t go with Kelly. If you pick Kelly, worry no more! We loved working with her and if we could go back and do it all over again, we would’ve gone with her even sooner!
Kelly, I can’t thank you ENOUGH for all your help and expertise. My friends and family can’t stop reminiscing how perfect everything was. Thank you for making our day so special and memorable.

They were so wonderful!
Kelly and Maddie were the absolute best! Kelly had an eye for all of the details for our day that I would have completely over looked and her knowledge of the industry really showed and made me feel at ease during the planning. I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day with friends and family without any anxiety of things not getting done the way we had planned. Maddie executed everything beautifully and was calm, cool and collected the entire day. If there were any issues that came up, I never knew and she handled it perfectly. As far as we knew everything went off without a hitch, which I am sure was not the case, but we were none the wiser. They gave us the perfect day and were a pleasure to work with.Kelly and Maddie were the absolute best!

Giambrone/Beckett Wedding
Kelly did an incredible job! From planning to execution, Kelly was top notch. She was always available throughout the months leading up to the wedding. She was flexible and detail oriented. She took the details that my daughter and her fiance wanted for there wedding and made each one a reality! The wedding was everything they wanted and more! Kelly kept us updated regularly on the budget we set - when it was all said and done - we came in under budget - but the wedding exceeded our expectations.
Kelly made the process so seamless, relaxing and fun!
The wedding decor was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the cakes were incredible, the flowers divine, and everyone had a fabulous time. Kelly made a trolley schedule - so most of our wedding guest did not have to drive to and from the festivities.
I just cannot tell you how blessed we feel to have had Kelly working with us during this joyous time. She even survived the "bride Daddy"! ;) We wish Kelly and Southern Frills the best!Kelly did an incredible job! From planning to execution, Kelly was top notch.

Delivered my Fairytale wedding!
Kelly was amazing! I originally hired her over the other 5 coordinators I called because she was the only one that seemed as excited about my wedding as I was! She had so much enthusiasm and truly loves what she does. She told me from the start she wanted my wedding to be the fairytale I always wanted it to be and she delivered! She made herself available to me anytime I needed her or had a question. She always had great advice. Very sweet, very patient. Wedding day came and she was a rockstar! She went above and beyond what I ever expected. She took my dream wedding and made it a reality! I did nothing on my Wedding Day but relax and enjoy time with my family and bridesmaids. I didn’t stress once because I knew Kelly had it handled. And she sure did. She took over the day and made sure the day ran smoothly. She made sure we got everything out of the day we hoped for. She also made sure we always had a drink in our hand and we were well fed!
One example of Kelly going above and beyond, I forgot my high heel plastic pieces for the lawn, (to make sure My heels don’t sink down into the lawn). I forgot them at the beach house where I got ready and there was absolutely no way to go back and get them before the start of the ceremony. I texted Kelly (I was on a trolley on my way to the ceremony) and she had a backup pair ready for me when I arrived.
Another example, I waited till last minute to figure out where I was going to find 4 bouquets (1 bridal and 3 bridesmaids). I mean I waited till days before! Kelly jumped in and helped me find the perfect person to make the most beautiful bouquets. Not only taking that stress off my plate the week of, but absolutely working miracles!
