Who Are the Wedding Planners?
Brandy Yungel
Owner & Lead Designer
Brandy@SouthernWeddingsandRentals.com
It’s rare to find someone who is truly doing what they were born to do, and for me, event planning is exactly that. I feel incredibly blessed to turn my passion into a career, and with more than 300 weddings and events under my belt, I still get excited for every single one.
Over the years, I’ve been called a wedding warrior, event guru, and planning mastermind—titles I carry with pride! I bring a mix of creativity, organization, leadership, and heart to every event, alongside an amazing team that shares my commitment to excellence.
My role is to advocate for my couples, ensuring that every detail is handled, every expectation is met, and there are no surprises along the way. My goal is for you to truly enjoy the planning process—stress-free, confident, and excited for your big day.
When I’m not designing dream weddings, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and two sweet boys. We love traveling, entertaining friends and family, and trying out new restaurants around town.
XOXO,
Brandy

I am a creative force! I have an eye for perfection and a heart for weddings and events. I have a comfortable approach that allows your wedding design and details to unfold naturally. I tend to bond with anyone from your in-laws to your bridal party. I can’t help but fall in love with those around me. My crafting passion and graphic design background allow me to capture your wedding personality in your design. Creative couples love the wedding journey with me by their side. My positive attitude will keep the planning enjoyable – I guarantee I’ll be smiling the whole time!

Event Assistant + Rentals Coordinator

I come from a big family, so I easily mesh with almost anyone, including challenging vendors (or in-laws!). I am a natural-born organizer with a strong artistic side, so I can direct your event design and all the darling details. I take all the pieces of your wedding puzzle and turn them into a perfect picture. I truly mold to any role you need, whether it be a taskmaster or calming coordinator. What you’ll see is a polished professional, but deep down, I am always the one starting the fun!
