Kimberly Byars
I am Kimberly Byars, a Certified Greenville Wedding Planner through The Certified Wedding Planner Society, the nation’s leading wedding planning certification program. I was named a Wedding MBA Industry Influencer. I am extremely passionate about celebrating all of life’s events, especially weddings! I dedicate myself to each and every one of my clients. I genuinely want you to focus on the joy of getting married.
As your wedding planner, I consider YOU to be my number one priority—not the venue or your other vendors. I am more than happy to mediate any issues you may have with your vendors, and I promise to be honest with you throughout the process. Ensuring that you are taken care of and that your needs and expectations are met is something that I take very seriously, and I pride myself in working with my clients to make sure that both the wedding planning process AND the wedding day are incredible , memorable experiences.
Among many other things, I enjoy spending time with family, baking and traveling. On the rare chance that we don't have a fall Saturday wedding you will find me cheering on my alma mater, Clemson Tigers in Death Valley. I am truly grateful that you stopped by Affluent Affairs, and I look forward to helping you plan your celebration!
