I will forever be grateful for Caitlin Weatherwax and the team at Kickstand Events. Not only did Caitlin execute our wedding day flawlessly, she truly became a friend through the process.

Is there a 10 star option?!

Where do I even begin? The ladies of Kickstand Events made all of our wedding dreams come true! It has been just about a month since our wedding and every time I think back to that day, it is hard to think of a way if could have been more perfect!! You always hear stories of brides stressing about wedding planning and complaining about how horrible it is, but I can honestly say I had the complete opposite experience. AND we have Sally, and Courtney to thank for that. They immediately understood our vision, helped us keep our priorities straight, and made the process enjoyable. Sally is a logistical genius and Courtney has an impeccable eye for design! Additionally all the teammates they have helping them behind the scenes and on wedding day are equally as amazing. I would highly recommend using Kickstand Events for your wedding or party planning needs!!
