“Having Handley and her team hold mine and my parents hand throughout the whole 14 months of my engagement and wedding was the best decision we could have ever made. The HBD team made me feel so confident going in to a process I knew very little about. I am pretty Type A when it comes to planning and organizing. I want everything to be perfect and never want to miss a detail. With that being said, wedding planning made me super anxious, considering I really knew nothing about the process. I quickly realized that after meeting with Handley and her team that I could relax and let them do their job. They understood what I wanted and had the expertise and connections to make it happen. They endured many random texts and emails with all my thoughts over the last year! For that, I am extremely grateful.

The best part of it all was seeing everything come together. Having Handley and the girls with me on our wedding day was truly the best thing ever. I knew I didn’t need to worry about a thing, because they had it taken care of. Every little detail was carefully planned which made the whole day run effortlessly. Knowing that my family and I didn’t have to lift a finger on our wedding day meant so much to me because I really wanted everyone to enjoy the day and soak everything in.
From keeping up with my phone all day, to helping me in the car with my huge dress for pictures, to having to-go food in the get-away car for us, and everything in between, y’all really know how to do it all!
I am so thankful for the relationships I have made throughout this process. I will always be so grateful for Handley and her team!”

“My daughter and I contacted Handley Breaux Designs in August of 2022 to plan her wedding. Her wedding was over a year later and we had immediate and consistent contact with Handley and her team. They orchestrated the months of planning beautifully. Not only were they a complete delight to work with, but they were extremely professional and they responded to every text, email or phone call immediately. My daughter and I were both impressed with their creativity and knowledge, but also their flexibility to adjust to our unique requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding experience with the Handley Breaux Design Team!”

“Handley and her team went above and beyond to take care and handle every detail of wedding planning. They make the process fun. I loved how approachable and professional they were!”

“I was admittedly never the little girl who dreamed about her wedding growing up. I always envisioned myself doing something low-key and private. It was only once Jared and I got engaged (and after I realized how much a wedding would mean to my family) that I started to consider a traditional ceremony and reception. I never wanted anything to be stuffy and I wanted to make sure that it truly reflected who Jared and I are as people.

From our first meeting, I knew Handley and her team could be trusted with every detail of the wedding planning process. They knew all of the right questions to ask, all of the right timelines to put in place, and all of the right vendors to recommend. They did such a fantastic job of incorporating our personalities and wishes into our day.

I’ve seen enough rom coms to know that wedding planners aren’t always the most pleasant on actual wedding day... However, Handley was more helpful, kind, and resourceful than we could have ever imagined. She was so calm and collected and had a whole team of people helping to ensure our day went smoothly. Her calm confidence helped dissolve any nerves I had. It was truly the best day of our lives and we have Handley and her team to thank for everything being absolutely perfect! We will remember the time, detail, and dedication that went into our day forever. ”

“I cannot express my gratitude enough to the team at HBD!!! Everything was perfect from our first meeting to our last. These ladies are extremely professional and detail oriented. They covered EVERY DETAIL! I honestly didn’t have to ask for anything because they had already thought of it. They are 100% the “yes” girls. Even the smallest requests were honored. Their attention to detail is remarkable. Their kindness, compassion, and calmness made the wedding experience a joy. The day of the wedding was PERFECT! I had no stress and truly let them take charge while we enjoyed our wedding.

I give HBD 5+ stars. I cannot think of one thing that I would have done differently. I highly recommend this team of professionals. They truly brought our wedding vision to life.

Thanks so much Ladies!!! We love you and will never forget your kindness that you showed us!!”

“WOW!!! PERFECTION. From our very first meeting to the day of my wedding, our experience working with Handley and her team was exceptional. Their team took care of everything (even the smallest details), allowing me to enjoy the wedding planning process! Any request we had, whether small or large, was always answered with a “Yes!”. The day of the wedding was so special and stress free, knowing that Handley and her team had taken care of everything. I can NOT recommend Handley Breaux Designs enough. Extremely professional, detail oriented, organized and prompt, kind, and most importantly FUN!”

“I can not say enough wonderful things about Handley Breaux Designs. They went above and beyond to make my daughter’s wedding day a day that every girl dreams about. From the beginning stages of planning to the moment the bride and groom left the reception they made it so easy and stress free for all of us. It was a magical day for everyone and a day no one will forget.
”

“Working with Handley and her team was one of my best decisions during the planning process. They took my vision and used their industry knowledge to improve it! Most importantly, their attention to detail and organization allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding day. Everyone who interacted with them from our families commented on how impressed they were with her team! I couldn’t have done it without them.”

“If I could go back and redo my wedding, I would not change a thing - especially choosing HBD as my team of planners! Every thought, concern, or question I had, they were right there to answer. They made my dreams for my wedding come to life and made it seem so simple. They helped choose an incredible team of venders that all played a major role in making my dream day perfect. Their incredible taste helped me choose layout/decor that went perfectly with what I had in mind. The wedding day went so smoothly and seamlessly with Handley, Delia, and Ivey at my side. I hardly had to lift a finger, along with my parents, and wedding party. I could not be more thankful for choosing HBD!”

“Handley and her team made my wedding planning process easier and more enjoyable! They answered all of our many questions along the way, kept us well connected with vendors, offered a keen and creative eye for all the designing, and helped bring my dream wedding vision to life. Ivey is a ray of sunshine and went above and beyond in whatever was tasked or asked of her. I was very thankful to have them around on our wedding day. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was intact and were there for us from start to finish!”

“Handley and her girls at Handley Breaux Designs made the planning and the event of my first daughter Emily’s wedding “pure joy”. From the beginning she knew what to do, when to have it done and handled way more than I knew to do. I loved how she educated me on ideas, options and cost with every decision. She has so much experience and knowledge that helped us utilize every dollar spent for what was important to us. She walked me through each month with what we needed to accomplish and she coordinated everything. Handley and her incredible team were invaluable throughout the planning and especially on the wedding day. I was bouncing around all morning from conversation to conversation with friends and family having a blast and I will never forget how sweet she was when she came up to me and said, ‘you have to go and get your hair and makeup done’ or you will be late. I was so thankful that I could enjoy the day and wedding while she handled all of the details including me. Handley is extremely professional, detailed, creative and knows how to deal with the wedding industry vendors. I am so thankful for Handley and her team! ”

“Is there a better recommendation than having the same wedding planner for all three daughters? Three very different personalities , styles , seasons and dispositions. Three different florists and three different photographers , but same planner. She’s like magic , always there when you need something. The last wedding I remember my daughter calling me on my phone , we forgot the rings!! We don’t have the keys to the going away car!! And I was able to somewhat smugly say “Handley’s on it”! Don’t worry , have fun at your daughters weddings, “Handley’s on it”!”

“We absolutely loved working with Handley and could not have been happier with our experience with Handley Breaux Designs! Throughout the entire planning process, Handley and her team were with us every step of the way. Navigating pandemic protocols and regulations up until days before the wedding, we were never stressed because we knew she had everything under control which made the planning process a breeze! She was so attentive and knowledgeable and was able to take my ideas for our wedding and turn them into reality. Handley coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everything came together perfectly and that no detail was overlooked. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we had no stress on wedding day and she took care of everything. Handley put out fires with ease and her team did such a good job with making sure everything ran smoothly so that we were able to fully enjoy the day and take in every moment without worry. We are forever grateful to Handley and the HBD team! ”

“From the minute I walked into the Handley Breaux Designs office to talk about working together, y’all were so sweet and helpful. The wedding planning process can be daunting — especially with a long distance groom and a short engagement but you, Clay and Mackenzie made it so seamless. Yall kept my mom and I on track and handled things behind the scenes so we never even had to worry or stress about the little stuff. If Michael and I could do it again, I would be calling the 3 of you immediately!!! ”

“Handley and her girls made wedding planning SO much easier and whole lot of fun! I enjoyed every step of the process, and I know it was because we had a fantastic planner. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and the wedding day itself was seamless. I couldn’t imagine getting married without having the HBD team alongside of me!”

“Handley went above and beyond giving us abundant and special attention right from the start and entirely throughout the year engagement. She was readily available to help us or guide us along always. She had great ideas and understood our vibe goals so well. Her team was so sweet, so attentive and competent. We loved all of the vendors Handley hired for us and all the teams collectively made the best wedding for our daughter. Her dream. We still get so many compliments about it!”

“The ease that Handley and her team made the planning was my favorite part of working with Handley Breaux Designs. I feel like I don’t have a creative bone in my body so I was worried about making all the decisions. I am also pretty Type A so I was afraid I would miss a detail because I didn’t even know I would have to make the decision. However, Handley Breaux Designs put all my worries to rest. I loved the meetings where Handley would just give me options, show me pictures, talk me through the pros and cons of each decision so I could understand what was important and everyone lead me in a helpful way to each decision. Also, having Handley Breaux Designs there on the day of the wedding was amazing. We were put in this dark room to get ready and we didn’t really know what to do, but as soon as Handley got there she knew what to do. She talked to whomever she needed to and made sure that we got the locker room that was SO much better (sorry to the Bridge Ladies that we had to kick out). Things like that happened all day. On the way to the church I started freaking out because I realized I left the rings in my bag. I called my mom and she just said “Handley’s got it. No problem.” All day, she was 5 steps ahead of me, anticipating the needs of Miller, my parents, the staff, and me. I did not have to be stressed because I knew Handley had it under control. No problem. ”

“Handley Breaux Designs exceeded our expectations. I cannot describe how smoothly the day of the wedding went. They went above and beyond to make the day stress free for me and my family! It was an absolute dream and could not have been that way without them!!!”

“The entire Handley Breaux Designs team made our wedding weekend easier than we ever could have expected! We loved the creative ideas Handley and her team brought to life at our wedding! They truly made the whole weekend stress free. Handley made every crazy request a reality, from pictures in a cotton feild and a boat ride with our family! It was a dream! We love you all!!!”

“The Handley Breaux Designs team went above and beyond to make sure I had the most incredible day. They were attentive to every single detail, and they do such a wonderful job of prioritizing the bride while running a flawless event at the same time. I remember sweating during the pictures because it was so hot, but the HBD team was right there between every picture dabbing my face and keeping me cool with a handheld fan. I never asked them to do that, but they were always one step ahead so I didn’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying such a special day. They are absolutely INCREDIBLE!”

“I am so glad that we hired Handley Breaux Designs to assist with our daughter, Elizabeth’s wedding! With the bride and groom both being in medical school, the decision to hire a wedding planner was a wise one. At our first meeting with Handley and her assistant, Maggie, I could tell we were in competent hands. They listened to what we were envisioning for the wedding and made it even better! Handley has wonderful insight and vision that she pairs with her extensive list of industry contacts (lighting, floral, cakes, draping, hair, makeup, transportation, etc.) to bring your dream wedding to a reality. It is fun to experience and watch her team of vibrant and enthusiastic young ladies work their magic. As an example of their attention to detail, at the end of the reception, I looked at Handley and said, “I have no idea where my purse is!” She smiled and calmly said “I have it and we’ve packed your car with the gifts, to-go boxes, and everything else, and your car is waiting for you.” This level of care is what we felt from day one of working with Handley Breaux Designs! I want to thank you, Handley and your amazing team for allowing our daughter and her husband, Nick, have a wonderful time at their wedding. Watching them smile all night, enjoying their friends, the food, the music, and having the time of their lives was indescribable. Your services and hard work allowed my husband and me the opportunity to fully enjoy the evening and live in the moment. Thanks to you we have wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. You are the best and we loved working with you!”

“We absolutely loved every second of working with Handley Breaux Designs! Handley is incredibly talented and creative, and for a bride like me with a looser vision, she took our ideas and shaped them into something absolutely magical! Her collaboration with Marigold Designs and Design Productions turned the ballroom at The Club into a breathtaking setting for the best night of our lives. She was incredibly organized and efficient with scheduling periodic check-in meetings, as well as managing all the different vendors and their contracts. From a last-minute vendor back-out to personally packaging each hotel gift box, we always felt completely assured that if it was in her hands, it was handled! On our wedding day, Handley and her team did an absolutely fantastic job of staying on schedule and attending to every little detail, which allowed us to fully enjoy every single wonderful moment. We are well aware that we owe a lot of the special memories we made that day to her! We are beyond grateful to Handley for everything, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!”

“Thank you so much for all of your help at and leading up to my and Ryan’s wedding. We really appreciate all the hard work that went into making it a beautiful, seamless, and a super fun night! I felt like POTUS with my secret service! It was great working with you all!”

“When I started to plan a Birmingham wedding from Dallas, I quickly realized how much I needed a planner to help facilitate the process. Before the day of, Handley and her team were there to make suggestions, book vendors and connect all the dots. She had great insight into the vendors in Birmingham and made sure that we had the best given our budget and focus. When we did run into issues, Handley was quick to act and make it right. During the weekend of the wedding, Handley’s team ran the show with precision, thoughtfulness and professionalism. Everything went smoothly- hair/make-up, photos, band, food, flowers, bouquet toss, cake cutting, first dances... The wedding was gorgeous and everything that I had dreamed. Thank you!!”

“I bet it is rare for the Father of the Bride to rave about his daughter’s wedding planner, given the inherent tension and expense of the whole process, but Handley Breaux Designs counseled me through the whole process, was attentive to our budget, and made it absolutely beautiful and flawless. When the Bride and the Mother of the Bride are happy, then you know it was all worth it. I appreciate the professionalism and attentiveness that Handley Breaux Designs demonstrated to me and my whole family.”

““I am so appreciative of Handley and her team of girls that made John and my wedding the most fun and special memory! As my sister-in-law, Handley helped with every detail of the wedding planning process, starting the night I got engaged to her brother. Handley was so organized and efficient. All of the vendors she recommended were fabulous and she was always available for any questions. She had so many connections and helped tremendously by communicating with each vendor and setting up times for us to meet. She kept us on schedule for planning and made sure the wedding day ran smoothly for the entire wedding party and both families. Her team of girls was fun to be around and made me feel so special during the whole process! My mom and I still say there is no way the wedding would have happened without her and her awesome team. Thank you Handley Breaux Designs for making our rehearsal dinner and reception even more beautiful than I could have imagined!””

“Handley and your Miracle working Dream Team,
You all were amazing and you gave to Quinn & Ryan and to our new family the best day of our lives. If there was stress, we never knew it. What we all felt was an incredible celebration of Quinn & Ryan’s sacrament of marriage. And your final gift - the collection of wedding day rain water was over the top - so beautiful and honoring of the occasion. With tremendous gratitude.”

“Garrott and I are grateful to Handley for helping make our wedding day magical and seamless! Handley was immensely helpful throughout the planning stages as well as on the wedding day itself. From the start of our engagement, Handley helped us set up a Postable account as an easy way to collect the names and addresses of invitees – something we wouldn’t have thought of on our own. She even single handedly stuffed, stamped and sealed our invitations. All of our vendor communications went through Handley, which made for a streamlined process. When we had an unexpected hiccup, she handled the situation promptly and professionally. One of our vendors backed out on us for another offer last minute, and Handley quickly found the best replacement we could have ever asked for. Lastly, we cannot imagine the day of our wedding without Handley. We didn’t worry about one thing the whole day because she kept things running smoothly and on schedule. If we needed something last minute, Handley was on it! Right before the ceremony, I realized I forgot to tell her I wanted an orchid in my hair at the reception. I completely understood if it wasn’t possible. She said it was not problem and found me one within five minutes. Whether it was giving us a coke when we needed caffeine at the start of the reception, helping me bustle my dress, handing me lip gloss during the night for a touch up, facilitating our cake cutting or making sure we got a college group picture, Handley was on her A game. All Garrott and I had to do was have fun and enjoy our special day. Thank you, Handley, for everything! ”

“It did not take long for my mom and me to realize just how overwhelming planning a “simple” backyard wedding could be. Weddings are never simple. At least not in the South. So, in order to make it at least look simple, we knew we needed to find someone with the logistical coordination skills and industry contacts to seamlessly transform my parents’ house into a wedding venue. Handley Breaux Designs was a perfect fit. Affordable, creative and chic, Handley navigated the gagillion details and schedules and people and upsets that drive the wedding planning process with ease and grace. We particularly appreciated her ability to pull together a list of options, say for design elements or vendor choices, to let us choose what fit us best. With Handley at the helm, the tangle of creative ideas in our heads could be unknotted, organized and executed. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did to help us pull off our “simple” backyard wedding!”

“Today, we had the pleasure of seeing our daughter’s wedding in About Town magazine. That brought back many pleasant remembrances of the planning and execution of her special day. Handley Breaux Designs was invaluable in making every facet perfect for the big event. The attention to detail which she showed was unbelievable. Since we live some distance from Birmingham, this was a bit of a destination wedding. Handley took care of all the in town details. She exceeded our high expectations in every way. Handley and her staff are warm, knowledgeable, and very approachable. She always has a “can do” approach. No request was too large. Her calm and thoughtful manner alleviated any wedding day jitters. I would recommend her when only the best and most capable help will do. When we have another wedding, we know who we will call first! ”

“Handley Breaux Designs made my dream wedding came to life. We had the pleasure of working with Handley for over a year to make this perfect day come to life. Handley was very prompt in replying to emails and arranging meetings for us. I was really indecisive when it came to details and she was able to make that area of planning so much easier. Handley knew exactly what my vision was and was able to make it possible. Her planning service was so beneficial for the actual wedding day. She kept us on a timeline throughout the day and night to ensure we got to enjoy every moment! We loved having her as our wedding planner. Thank you for everything! ”

“It only took two weeks after our engagement to realize I was slightly in over my head. I was attempting to plan a wedding in Birmingham by myself while my entire family was out of state. I was consumed and overwhelmed by Pinterest ideas, vendor reviews, and budget spreadsheets. On the verge of exhaustion, my patient fiance urged me to reach out to a professional who could guide me through the wedding planning process, act as a sounding board for my ideas, and help pull all the wedding details together. Once I started working with Handley I actually started to enjoy planning my wedding! Handley introduced me to amazing local vendors and helped me spread out my to-do list so it was manageable and stress free. Because of Handley, I had the opportunity to soak in all the precious and fleeting moments of my wedding day. I could truly enjoy coffee with my bridesmaids, spend quality time with my family, and cherish our first moments as husband and wife. Handley took care of the rest! My wedding day was exactly what I hoped for and exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you Handley for your hard work, wisdom, and making my vision a reality!”

“From the very first moment we met, I knew instantly Handley was going to be the perfect planner for our dream day. She is calm and collected, organized and to the point. With an engagement on the longer side, she was there every single step of the way. I was planning a wedding in Birmingham from Atlanta, and Handley worked so closely with my parents in Birmingham that it was as if I was there at every meeting! I remember thinking when we first saw our reception completed, of all the little details Handley picked out that I literally didn’t even have to think of. She knew me well enough to take the initiative and work closely with my mom to achieve my perfect vision. She knew all the perfect vendors that absolutely made our day more than spectacular. She hand picked our band, which quite frankly made our reception the party that it was. Handley made me the most non-stressed bride there was, because I knew it was in her hands. By the end of the 15 months of planning, Handley had practically become a member of the family with so many laughs along the way. I, along with my entire family, cannot say enough about all that Handley did to make our day one that we will never forget. I recommend her with the highest regard!”

“Handley was the wedding planner for my son and daughter in law’s wedding as well as the rehearsal dinner, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Handley was so helpful in making our ideas come to life as well as handling all the details that we might not think of. The whole weekend was so much fun because Handley literally took care of everything and everyone! She was so professional but was also so enjoyable to be around. I can’t imagine going through it without her!”

“From our very first meeting with Handley, she was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I live in Birmingham and we were planning a wedding in my hometown of Enterprise, so having her help with coordinating the numerous details involved was wonderful!

My mother did most of the early planning and Handley was a great sounding board for her. She made a complimentary trip to Enterprise to get a feel for the location and then after many phone calls,emails and a few other meetings,stepped in the last month for hands on coordinating and advice.

She made our wedding day go smoothly with no request being too small! We could really enjoy the day knowing that Handley “had it covered”! She was not only organized and thorough but fun to be around!

Thank you Handley for all you did to help plan the wedding of my dreams!”

“Sean and I were so blessed to have Handley as our wedding coordinator. We were finalizing the wedding plans when Carrie Beth from Morgan Creek Vineyards, where we were married, highly recommended Handley as our coordinator. We are so thankful that she was available to organize our wedding day. Handley has an amazing talent of seeing what you are envisioning and making everything flow smoothly. On our wedding day it rained, but without Handley our ceremony would not have successfully transitioned under our reception tent. It was more than we ever expected! We are grateful and blessed to have had such a wonderful person like Handley to organize and make our wedding day stress free. Our wedding day would not have been the perfect celebration that it was without Handley’s expertise! She was truly a joy to work with, and I recommend her to everyone!”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Handley’s services. In addition to scheduling periodic meetings to ensure we were on track in the planning process, Handley did a great job of identifying and tracking all of the different contracts that had to be put in place to make sure our wedding and reception went off without a hitch. Throughout the process, we were confident that everything was taken care of. On the day of our 250+ guest wedding and reception, Handley did a fantastic job of keeping things organized and staying on schedule. All we and our families had to do was enjoy the event and go where she told us to go. The most important note to make about Handley’s management of the event is that she made sure we were able to enjoy the evening in addition to making sure everything went as planned. We had a blast, and if we had to plan this event again she would be the first person we would hire. ”
