Isabella Smith
Owner & Lead Planner
I'm Bella Smith, the owner of Southern Bella Events and your girl for all things event planning. I hold a degree in Resort and Hospitality Management and have over five years of hands-on experience in the industry. My love for events started early, growing up helping at my family’s event venue in Nashville, TN gave me a front-row seat to the magic of creating unforgettable celebrations. I’ve had the opportunity to work a wide variety of events, but weddings have truly captured my heart. Since 2021, I’ve served as a wedding planning assistant in both Nashville and Southwest Florida, and I’m grateful to now lead couples through the planning process with my own business. It’s my heart to serve with joy, bring peace into the process, and help create a celebration that reflects your love story.

The Best Decision We Made – Bella is Incredible!
Hiring Bella as our wedding coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From...
our very first meeting, Bella was organized, warm, professional, and truly passionate about making our day everything we dreamed of.
She thought of every detail—many that we never would have considered—and handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that we were able to just enjoy our day without a single worry. Her calm energy and problem-solving skills kept everyone (including us!) relaxed and on schedule.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and a huge part of that was because of Bella. If you’re even thinking about hiring a coordinator, do yourself a favor and work with her. She’s a true gem and we can’t recommend her highly enough!
