Meet Rachel and Josh! Rachel and Josh met each other while working as camp couselors at the Raleigh Jewish Community Center and it was love at first sight! I started working with them back in February of 2012, and we spent the next 15 months putting together their perfect day! Rachel and Josh were married in May at Beth Meyer Synagogue in Raleigh, and their reception took place in the beautiful ballroom at North Ridge Country Club.
Since both Rachel and Josh live and work in the Washington DC area and the wedding was here in Raleigh, we set up vendor meetings on the weekends they could be in town and talked details at every opportunity. I absolutely loved working with Rachel, Josh and their families and I can never thank them enough for sending this fabulous review to Wedding Wire!
A Southern Soiree was the best investment we could have made for our wedding. Everyone kept telling me I was so calm before the wedding and that I was not stressed, the only reason for that was Megan and Gina. Megan and Gina simplified the entire wedding planning process and helped us pick the best possible vendors. On our wedding day they made everything go smoothly so that both families could just enjoy the wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend A Southern Soiree to any couples looking for a wedding planner.
Take a look at some of our favorite photos of the day from the very talented Michael Moss Photography.

Sparkle shoes are always a fun wedding accessory!
