Never a dull moment with a Southern Affair Wedding ♥️

This is a great article on the difference between a planner and a coordinator (yes, there is a BIG difference!) We offer both services but perhaps this will help you decide which service it is that suits your needs best! ♥️

When deciding which vendors you need to assist you with your big day, you may be weighing wedding planners vs. coordinators vs. designers. But what are the key differences between each of these professionals? Read on to find out what each role entails.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Casino Night charity event and made this possible! ♥️🐾

We wish to thank Corks and Barrels, Shipley's Fine Jewelry and Southern Affair Weddings + Events for their generous donation. Safe Animal Shelter was the beneficiary of their Charity event. With great business partners like these we are able to continue to support our community and the pets in our facility. THANK YOU!!!!

Not even Hurricane Helene could stop this beautiful wedding from happening! With the help of some AMAZING vendors we were able to change venues, floor plans, and basically a year of planning all under 24 hours and make sure Taylor and Chris had a memorable wedding celebration!

Everyone, please congratulate Taylor and Chris on their happily ever after! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! ♥️

As we brace for Helene, we are closing our office today and tomorrow to allow our staff time to prepare their families and homes. Email will be checked intermittently if any client emergencies should arise and will be answered accordingly. Any other inquiries will be answered upon reopening. We will decide what day our office will reopen once the storm has passed.

For all our friends in the Southeast US, stay safe! ❤️

This is what future Major Hurricane might look like tomorrow. HAFS showing 908mb. HWRF 944mb. Somewhere in the middle? All showing strengthening on approach to land. Look how wide bands will go. All of the Florida peninsula will feel. Tornadoes very very likely. And way north past Florida. www.spaghettimodels.com

We are closed until Tuesday. All correspondence will be returned at that time. Have a great week!

Sorry guys, life keeps throwing curve balls at my family and this one is a pretty big and serious one. Please know, despite being "closed" I'm still editing behind the scenes and bring my laptop everywhere with me to slip in a sometime knocking out these galleries. Right now, I'm running 2-3 weeks for Family Sessions (which is within my contractual estimated range). I may be a bit behind on responding to messages and emails, but I assure you I'm getting to them as quickly as possible -- being without an assistant for the past few months has been challenging to say the least but hopefully we'll have that spot filled soon.

I've been receiving messages by text and messenger, of course I love hearing from you all, but I would appreciate any requests or questions to be sent to my email at [email protected]. This ensures it won't go missing in the mix of the various types of communication and I can go down the list and make sure no one is missed.

I'm currently in Maine, about to photograph and wedding for the sweetest couple so I will be indisposed today and tomorrow as I travel back home. Please be patient with my slower than usual responses until I get past this week and hopefully someone to fill the role of Admin.

Thanks again for all your love and support over the years! 💕

Sincerely,

Kristel Schimpff
Owner | Southern Affair

Our office is closed to celebrate our nation’s independence with family and friends! We hope you all are able to do the same and have a safe and fun holiday!

Hey Southern Affair Family!

We just wanted to take a moment to let you all know how much we appreciate you for being such loyal supporters of the Southern Affair family. As the weekend approaches, we hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with fun and surprises!

We also appreciate all your patience as our administrative assistant has been out on maternity leave. Everything is bouncing back, and we're looking forward to getting back to business as usual!

Thank you for your continued support!
