Southern Grace: Marriage Celebrant Service

Southern Elegance Events owner, Anne Heath, is a Licensed Marriage Celebrant with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many times our couples have a friend or family member that they would like to perform their ceremony, but because of circumstances out of their control they are unable to acquire a one time license to perform the ceremony. This is where hiring Anne as your coordinator is an asset! She can sign the marriage license at your wedding, while your friend or family member does the actual ceremony.

Southern Style Consultant Service

Consultant Services plus Southern Belle Coverage.

A Consultant is your Month of Coordinator and your Event Planner. She is the person you hire to help you create a budget, plan your details, hire your wedding professionals, to run your errands, and organize your big day. Many of Today’s Brides don’t have time to plan their own Wedding and need more than a Month of Coordinator to create a smooth and flawless wedding day.

Pricing depends upon the scope of help the Bride wants planning.
