Southern hospitality. Tradition with a twist. And a bit of sarcasm. That’s what you’ll find here with Mary Hollis Huddleston, on Mrs. Southern Social. She is a Nashville native who loves entertaining at home, but believes in the power of “delegation.” She started in the event-planning business in Dallas right after graduating college. One marriage, one baby, and eight years later, she “retired” from wedding planning, and moved back to Nashville to settle-down for good. Along with her husband, Mary started Please Be Seated, the largest luxury event rental company in Nashville.“So if you have a day job, why Mrs. Southern Social?” To that Mary says, “Well, I’m a working Southern woman who loves welcoming people into my home and throwing dinner parties, but I don’t have the time nor energy to spend hours on Pinterest, cooking or decorating myself.

From iced cookies, invitations, catering to flowers, I’ll share ideas, inspiration and contacts that will hopefully make your life a bit easier one cocktail party at a time.”“Southern charm without lifting an arm,” is her motto. Now friends, let’s celebrate…In this episode, Mary speaks to:- How learning tools to handle small crises can prepare you for an unexpected big crisis- The silver linings for your business that can come out of trying times- How self-care doesn’t need to be complicated to be effectiveFollow Mary:Instagram: @mrssouthernsocialWebsite: mrssouthernsocial.comFollow Lauren:IG: @laurenzoellerWebsite: laurenzoeller.comLove?
