Thank you Kevin Milz for the amazing photos and a big THANK YOU to Lauren and Garry for this wonderful review on Wedding Wire!
We had the pleasure of working with Megan and Gina for our April 27th wedding at the Umstead Hotel and Spa. It was hands down, the best day of my life! Everything about the night was perfect and more than I could have ever dreamed of. My husband and I got engaged in February 2012, and we started working with a Southern Soiree that summer. I was new to Raleigh, busy with work and my Mom lived out-of-state, so she was insistent on using a wedding planner. I am so thankful that she did her research and contacted Megan to plan our wedding; they guided us through every step of the planning process. Right from the start, Megan new the vision we were looking for, and helped us pick the best vendors in the area that suited our needs. She set-up and attended all of our important meetings and even coordinated them for times when my Mom could fly into town. Megan and Gina were so thorough with every detail and had answers/suggestions/examples to share for every question we had. On the day of, I was able to enjoy every minute of getting ready with my family and friends because Megan had all the details and timelines planned-out. My wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to Megan and Gina– hands down the best wedding planners EVER.
