About Us

With over 20 years of combined event planning experience, the team of Southern Panache is here to walk with you every step of the way during the planning of your special day.  Employing two event coordinators, Brigitte G. Adley and Kim C. Carmichael, the team has intimate knowledge and first hand experience having planned weddings, corporate events, in home parties, fundraisers, and more.     
 
Brigitte G. Adley-  A native of Louisiana , Brigitte and her husband moved to the Upstate in 2000, where she continued her work with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in fundraising and event planning.  In 2005, she embarked on a new adventure as owner of one of the Upstate premier gift shops, Satter’s Creek. Having an intimate hand in still planning many events for friends, it was only a natural progression to combine her love of event planning and her incredible attention to detail by forming Southern Panache with friend and former ADA employee, Kim C. Carmichael.   
 
Kim C. Carmichael-  Having come from South Florida to attend Furman University, Kim fell in love with the Upstate and made it her permanent home upon acceptance of an event planning and fundraising position with a local non-profit after graduation.  Her skills and knowledge as an event planner were further honed after coming to work for Brigitte and the American Diabetes Association in 2001.  Having left
ADA in 2006, Kim is excited that her and Brigitte are still able to work together while utilizing the skills and knowledge of event planning with the attention to customer service that made them such a great team at the ADA  
 
Together, this dynamic duo offers extensive knowledge in etiquette, food & beverage, event designs and themes and effective event management so that you can be a guest at your own party!
