CURATOR OF PARTIES YOU WISH WOULD

NEVER END…..

And memories

that never will!

At Southern House we believe every wedding should be a thoughtful reflection of the people we’re there to celebrate!

First things first, I’m a big believer in marriage and consider your wedding to be a HUGE freaking deal! You’re not just another client or ‘job’ you’re two humans jumping into one of the most exciting times of your life and I consider it a true honor to be the person to help guide you through this journey!

Being from ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ originally and a recent transplant to charming Charleston, SC, I have the art of entertaining and Southern hospitality engrained in my soul! It’s not just what I do, but who I am.

That’s why in 2015 I chose to take a leap of faith and established Southern House Events. Since then I have been blessed to celebrate hundreds of couples from coast-to-coast and had many weddings and trend-setting designs published in some of the TOP bridal publications - Style Me Pretty, Carats and Cake, 100 Layer Cake and Bridal Musings, just to list a few! — (Did you just hear the toot of my own horn? - I know I did!)

MEET KAYLA

  • Heather + Jim

    “Kayla Gantzer is, simply put, worth her weight in gold. I take that back - worth her weight in californium 252 (yeah… I don’t know what that is either but I googled it, and it’s the most valuable substance on earth). Hiring Southern House Events was the single most important decision we made. By far…..She made our four event, three day wedding weekend the event of a lifetime for us and for our guests. She has a way of learning who you are, what you want, and what will delight you even when you aren’t sure how to tell her!”

Luxury Charleston

Wedding Planner

luxurious style wrapped in a relational experience

I pride myself on creating designs and experiences that look luxurious - yet feel approachable. Being a relational planner and sensory story-teller,  I yearn for genuine connections and curate my best inspirations from the tiny details of a couples relationship. I thoughtfully hunt for those fleeting moments of love and connection that tend to get lost in your day to day shuffle — sweet nicknames said as you hurry out the door, memories that still make you belly laugh years later— for those are the personalized touches that become truly impactful elements in a one-of-a-kind Wedding.  My couples are my muse and we work together to curate a customized wedding that looks insta-worthy - yet feels comfortable enough for their guests to kick-back and relax - all while remaining focused on the love and people we’re ultimately there to celebrate.

 

The SOuthern House EXPERIENCE

 

STEP ONE - inspirations

We want to get to know what makes you, as a couple, tick, so we can artfully weave your relationship into your Wedding day! This is where the real magic begins with lots of visual communications and big ideas. We also start to outline potential vendor matches based on design and production needs.

 
 

Step two - contracting

We tap into our extensive vendor relationships and negotiate your contracts on your behalf to ensure we have a dynamic team of professionals to help bring our vision to life! We cap this phase off with a champagne-filled Creative Presentation, where you get to finally SEE the details we have curated!

Step three - production/logistics

This is where all our hard work pays off as we work to tie together every minute detail to ensure your day not only runs smoothly, but that no thoughtful detail gets left behind! This is where our YEARS of live-event experience really shine! - Sit back and relax while we orchestrate your PERFECT celebration!
