I read every review on vendors when planning my wedding so I know how valuable they are - that said, Danielle was the absolute best choice and working with her made the wedding planning process, and our actual wedding, so seamless and memorable. We had so much fun working together, which I've learned is quite rare! We planned a destination wedding in Savannah (+ navigated a year postponement) and I felt so confident every detail was covered along the way. It's so important for all of your vendors to work in sync with one another and her relationships and outstanding reputation made that possible

Design Studio South is absolutely the gold standard of event coordination and design. Danielle and her team are not only an absolute pleasure to work with and have a beautiful style but they also bring a high level of experience. They go beyond simply planning the event, anticipating their clients needs so couples can feel like guests at their wedding celebration while soaking up every single moment.
As wedding professionals we have worked with many event planning and design companies throughout the years but will always jump at the opportunity to work with Design Studio South, they are exceptional

Beautiful from start to finish. Danielle and her team created wedding magic for us on our daughter’s wedding day. We could not have asked for more dedication from an extraordinarily detail oriented staff of professionals. Danielle is a gifted wedding planner, and her love and enjoyment of her work shines through in the end result. We had a magical weekend of events designed and executed superbly. We are beyond grateful!

Danielle and the DSS team were truly wonderful from start to finish! Dealing with a postponement due to the pandemic was very stressful but the team managed to execute our dream wedding with such professional and poise. Danielle was there every step of the way, always being encouraging and kept me on task before the big day. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with the DSS team, and introduce her to one of my friends who got married in Savannah as well. I owe Danielle and her team for making our wedding day what it was, which was amazing.
Also, all the girls on the team are so sweet, calm

Danielle and team were wonderful to work with for our wedding this past October 2020. Not only were they proactive, reliable, and flexible in terms of scheduling calls with us, but they were also very helpful and compassionate as we figured out how to replan our wedding (multiple times in fact) due to COVID-19 restrictions to ensure that it would be extremely safe while remaining as special as we initially imagined. They went above and beyond the day of to ensure that neither of us experienced any stress whatsoever and could be fully present in the moment - including cleaning my dog's paws after

Danielle with Design Studio South has been amazing to work with. As a wedding videographer we work along side tons of vendors and get to see the ends and outs of others jobs. We always look forward to working with DSS! They go above to make each event a dream and one to remember. I highly recommend DSS as your event designer/planner.

My husband and I are so happy that we chose Design Studio South for our week-of coordination! Danielle and Alysse have so much invaluable experience when it comes to both planning and coordinating weddings in Savannah, we absolutely could not have made it through wedding planning without them. We live in Los Angeles and planned our wedding from afar, so it was such a joy and relief to pass off all of the last minute logistics and coordination to DSS our wedding week. They did a pitch-perfect job executing everything we had planned and our wedding day was again absolutely *perfect.*

Overall I enjoyed working with Design Studio South (DSS). Alysse was very easy to talk to and answered my many questions when searching for the best planner for our small destination wedding in Savannah. There were times though once the process of planning began where it was difficult to get responses and answers to my emails. At times after weeks without a reply I would have to call directly to get an idea of what was going on in the planning process. Closer to our wedding however the communication became a lot better and appreciated the team including me in meetings and discussions with our vendors

HUGE thank you to Alysse, Danielle, Teresa and Hannah for everything in the months/weeks/days leading up to our wedding and, of course, for completely exceeding all expectations on our actual wedding day! It was honestly unreal! These ladies are talented in design (truly listened and understood my vision), but also have an amazing business and are committed to providing the most incredible service. They consistently go above & beyond and are just all around really good people. Endless thank you's for everything!!

Design Studio South- there are no words to describe these women- but I will try. Brilliant, funny, helpful, bubbly, sparkling diamonds in a sea of glitter- they have it all. I would not have survived my wedding weekend without them. They went above and beyond anything I expected from a week of wedding package and they were quick with responses and readily available when needed. Alysse, you are girl power wrapped with a bow. My decorations at the ceremony and reception were more than I could have expected and all thanks are to you. Jennifer- my babysitter, my flower helper, my bringer of crackers
