My husband and I were married on June 14, 2014. I will be honest in saying that Southview was initially not the first place I had in mind as our reception venue. However, once we w...alked into the country club, saw the ballroom, and met with the wedding coordinator, DeAnna, I absolutely knew it was the right place for us.
From that first meeting to the tasting to emailing the most random questions, Southview and DeAnna took amazing care of us and were so accommodating to our requests, concerns, and needs. There was a miscommunication at one point over how we had understood the menu and cost of something and DeAnna went out of her way to make it right and make sure we were happy. This went a long way with my fiance as well as my parents! :)
I cannot say enough good things about DeAnna! I cannot imagine working with a different coordinator and was continuously impressed with the level of professionalism and ease in which DeAnna worked with us through the entire process. She made us feel like we were her sole priority, despite the fact that she had a million other things going on and always did so with a genuine smile on her face.
As we neared the time of the wedding, DeAnna had such a sweet way of making me feel sane, despite me feeling like I was going crazy with wedding planning and making detailed charts of how I wanted things to be. When anyone else would have looked at me like I had worms crawling out of my ears, DeAnna simply looked at me with a smile on her face and made sure she was clear on the plan. Her biggest goal was to make sure I was happy and that things were executed exactly as I had envisioned to ensure I had the wedding of my dreams and we absolutely did! The other piece is that DeAnna was never pushy or overbearing, which is something I was actually worried about. She let us lead the way but was there every inch of the way to support us and answer our questions, without trying to push anything extra on us or do anything just because she thought it was better than something we had come up with. This meant a lot to me and my fiance.
The food was great, service was excellent, and everything ran more smoothly than I could have ever imagined, thanks simply to DeAnna and her team at Southview. I keep looking back at pictures and thinking about the day and it doesn't even seem real to me! It was truly the best day of our lives and so much of that is thank to Southview!
For anyone who has gotten married or is in the process of getting married, you understand some of the stress and craziness involved and the fact that you can have someone on your side to make sure everything goes as planned and you are happy and able to enjoy the process without extra stress!
I am so thankful we went with Southview and we sincerely couldn't have asked to work with a better site or coordinator! We highly recommend this site and DeAnna for any reception!
