We found them through friends in Nashville whose wedding they planned. Jayne and her associate, Debbie Lundy, helped us put together a FANTASTIC birthday weekend for us and our 70 friends. We hosted 5 events over 4 days - Jayne & Debbie helped us select the venues, put together the perfect sequence of events, helped us select the hotels for our guests, attended the events and saw to every detail. The highlight of the trip for many was our visit to the Bluebird Cafe. Jayne & Debbie arranged a buyout of the restaurant for our group, selected fantastic songwriters to meet with us and had lunch catered by The Loveless Cafe - both quintessential Nashville stops. They arranged transportation to and from the event and all worked seamlessly. On a personal note, they were pleasant to deal with, communicating effectively for over a year for the planning, tastings, and coordination of all of the details. If you're planning an event in Nashville, you'd be in excellent hands with Jayne and her team!

No idea where to begin - but the ladies at Velour Premier Events are the best. We hired them as our…read morewedding planners and helped us whenever we needed. They have a list of great vendors and they listen to our wants and needs but especially our budget. They were amazing the day of and the day before. We didn't have to worry about a thing. I worked with Angie and Kelley and they are pros! I highly recommend their services.

If I could give these girls a million stars I would! Both Courtney and Anna did a phenomenal job at…read moremy wedding. There is literally nothing they can't accomplish. From Costco runs to getting floral arrangements together and beyond. They put together a flawless, beautiful, dream wedding for me and my husband. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew that the entire wedding was in good hands with these two. Not only will these girls work so very hard for you, they will also give great advise, come up with awesome ideas, problem solve, and use their many creative talents to pull off the ideal look and feel of your wedding. I know weddings can be stressful and can put the bride in a panic but if you'd rather sit back with a glass of champagne and enjoy the day then Ryder and Rhoades is the way to go.

I gave them my vision for the ceremony space and reception area and they made it jump off a Pinterest page and come to life. They were cool, calm and collected-- solving problems that arose and taking care of all the behind the scenes chaos that happens getting weddings set up. They're professional, personable, and punctual-- hardworking and creative-- I mean it truly doesn't get any better than these two. There's no question in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to (I realize I'm slightly biased) without the help of Ryder + Rhoades. Whether you want the full experience of wedding planning collaboration or just want someone to make sure things run smoothly day of (BELIEVE ME, YOU DO), choose Courtney and Anna to make those perfect wedding visions come true! They'll be my recommendation to my nearest and dearest friends, and strangers too! :)

Brittany truly alleviated any and all stress for us throughout the day and did an amazing job bringing every detail to life. She took the time to listen to what we were wanting, but also used her industry knowledge to make decisions on the fly. She was polite and detailed when communicating with our vendors, wedding party, families, and with us directly. To our knowledge the day went perfectly (which is likely not the case, but Brittany made sure that we were none the wiser of any hiccups that did occur!) We cannot recommend her services enough!

I along with 17 of my friends traveled from San Diego to Nashville to celebrate this milestone birthday and Selah-Vie knocked it out of the park. Everything was so well coordinated for us throughout the entire weekend. Sara-Jane is exceptionally detail oriented, punctual, hands-on and knows how to plan an event that runs seamlessly! Every suggestion she made was spot on! I can not recommend her services enough. She will be my go-to whenever I visit Nashville. Thank you Selah-Vie for making my event unforgettable!!!

My guess is that Angela Young Proffitt is the next premiere wedding planner in Nashville. There…read moreare a few that you hear about, with fancy dress boutiques, and client lists that could double as the young couples directory for all of Belle Meade. But those ladies better look out because Elegant Weddings by Angela is on the scene! My wedding is in October which is when I firmly believe I'll be able to add a fifth star to my review. Until then, here's why Angela gets 4: One star for her organizational skills. I've got lists and spreadsheets a'plenty to keep me on track and stress free (well, as much as possible). We won't miss a thing with Angela at the helm. A second star for her work ethic. I'm a career woman and I travel lots. It's not uncommon for me to talk with Angela at 9pm on a Tuesday or receive a diluge of email responses from her at 1am. I never worry that she'll get back to me with answers to my questions. And since phone calls are available with unlimited frequency under the package I purchased, she's always accessible and prompt with response. A third star is for her connections. This woman knows loads of really fabulous folks. And she knows them well. When I described my vision for my wedding, I'm pretty sure she already knew which vendors I would pick, even though she gave me several to consider. That's talent! Plus, everyone I've met with speaks so highly of her and says that they enjoy working with her brides since everything always goes so smoothly. That's great reassurance. A fourth star is for her attitude. We've had only one mishap with vendors for our wedding so far, and she was so lovely to manage my disappointment and come up with several other options that made my fiance and I feel really great about the replacement. She's great with family members and fiances and just super fun to be around. Based on all of this, you might surmise that she's already the premiere wedding planner in Nashville. I'd say that assumption is not far from the truth at all. I can only imagine what great things the next few years have in store for Angela.

Professional of the highest order and sweet above all else. I live in Pennsylvania and didn't know a thing about planning a wedding. She directed me every step of the way and worked with our budget.

My wedding was small but she treated it the same as she would a larger production. If you need a wedding planner and don't want to be let down on your big day, you cannot go wrong with Angela.
