Bella was a gift I didn’t know I needed. I threw my first daughter’s wedding without a coordinator, but this daughter’s wedding was a destination, adding another level of stress. It was amazing to have Bella there to make sure everything went as planned. She picked up the linens early, met all the vendors, transported some florals and lined everyone up for the ceremony. She took charge of the rehearsal, which we needed, making sure everyone started down the aisle on the correct note. Besides all of the work she did, she was simply a joy to be around. I still have one more daughter to get married, and I will be calling Bella!

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.

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!
