From Costco runs to getting floral arrangements together and beyond. They put together a flawless, beautiful, dream wedding for me and my husband. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew that the entire wedding was in good hands with these two. Not only will these girls work so very hard for you, they will also give great advise, come up with awesome ideas, problem solve, and use their many creative talents to pull off the ideal look and feel of your wedding. I know weddings can be stressful and can put the bride in a panic but if you'd rather sit back with a glass of champagne and enjoy the day then Ryder and Rhoades is the way to go.

I hired Courtney and Anna to be my day of coordinators and OH MY GOSH, they were worth every…read morepenny-- and then some. I gave them my vision for the ceremony space and reception area and they made it jump off a Pinterest page and come to life. They were cool, calm and collected-- solving problems that arose and taking care of all the behind the scenes chaos that happens getting weddings set up. They're professional, personable, and punctual-- hardworking and creative-- I mean it truly doesn't get any better than these two. There's no question in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to (I realize I'm slightly biased) without the help of Ryder + Rhoades. Whether you want the full experience of wedding planning collaboration or just want someone to make sure things run smoothly day of (BELIEVE ME, YOU DO), choose Courtney and Anna to make those perfect wedding visions come true! They'll be my recommendation to my nearest and dearest friends, and strangers too! :)

Ashley and her team are so professional, knowledgable, and down to earth. They truly aim to please and will bend over backwards to make your event or wedding better than you dreamed. We could not have done it without her! I highly, HIGHLY recommend Southern Social Events for any event, party, or wedding that you're planning. I can't say enough about how great they are!

I am going to tell you a little story…read more Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl who fell in love, got engaged, and were in dire need of a wedding planner. Enter Hugh Howser of H Three Events, friend of the bride, confidant, and the best version of "Franc" a la Father of the Bride (minus the swans and the indecipherable faux french accent). Hugh meets with Bride. Bride describes her dream wedding, shows a few photos from bridal magazines. Miraculously, Hugh has the entire wedding decor and accoutrements envisioned in his head after a 30 minute meeting and knows exactly who to talk to to complete the vision. Bride, high on engagement and a new sparkly diamond ring, loves/wants casablanca lilies and lisianthuses and ruffles and antiques and chivari chairs and dom perignon and chateauneuf du pape wines from 2003 and filet and a 20 piece band. A girl can only dream right?! Enter Anita Hogin, Hugh's business partner - the very budget-centered, level-headed half of the duo. Very carefully, Anita helps Bride (and Hugh) come down from her wedding high and shows her the reality of her budget. Together, they make a few compromises (or sometimes quite a few compromises) and make this perfect wedding come together. The day of the wedding, Bride is relaxing. Bride is also sipping mimosas, having her make up and hair done, spending time with family and friends. The key here is the bride is relaxing on the day of her wedding. Hugh and Anita are waving their magic wands and pulling rabbits out of their hats and doing who knows what else. To this day, the bride had no idea how much work went into making her wedding day so fabulous, but it was effortlessly handled by H Three Events! And they all lived happily ever after! Seriously, Hugh and Anita are incredibly easy to work with. They know how to achieve exactly what you desire and will make it all happen effortlessly. They are not overbearing event planners that continue calling you with questions. They get it right the first time so they don't have to ask about the little details over and over again. Above all, they are FUN FUN FUN!!! Planning a wedding is very stressful, but these two succeed in making the whole process a total delight.

We went to a fundraising event here recently…read more The event itself was wonderful. Unfortunately, the evening was ruined by the clueless staff of this facility. It was a December evening, that started out fine. The food was OK and about halfway through the evening as the staff begin clearing the tables they opened all the back doors to the venue And left them open for the rest of the evening. The evening was 32°. Needless to say the draft from the open doors quickly filled the room and nobody picked up on the fact that everybody was running for their coats and sat there huddled freezing, trying to enjoy the evening while the event/facility staff walked about with the doors wide open. this is not the first time we've been to an event here, but will always think twice before attending another one.

Cement floor, fold out chairs and absolutely freezing. Not only was it cold, but for some reason the vinyl sides were up about 18" and the back doors were wide open. The evening temp was 34 degrees and everyone at our table eventually got their coats. This was a nice event and everyone was dressed to the nines for it. Hate to say it but if this event is there again, we will probably just mail in a donation and pass on the event.

The day of the wedding, the brides were able to enjoy themselves and the bridal party was always informed what the next step was, there was no confusion and no moment of panic for anyone. We are so grateful for her if you're going to invest in your wedding, invest in a planner like Michelle that will allow you to enjoy your day and not stress the day-of. 100% would wish all brides had her beside them on such an important date
