I did all the wedding planning myself but needed help with the day of as far as coordinating goes. That's where Danielle from Soiree comes in. I contacted them about getting day-of coordination and from the beginning, Danielle was very responsive and always replied promptly. She helped me where I needed it most- instructing everyone what to do and where to be at the Rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. The ceremony could not have gone so smoothly with her and I am sure of that. It was one of the best investments I made for this wedding.

I contacted Megan at Soiree Event Designs at the point when I knew I was in over my head. My fiancee and I had very demanding jobs, and we were getting married in around 2 to 3 months! I needed a day-of planner and thankfully Megan was available. My main goal was to be able to enjoy the day and focus on the most important thing - GETTING MARRIED - and not the details. If I wasn't doing it, though, I needed to know I could trust someone to see and manage the vision the way I would. Megan not only managed the day, but added so much! For just being a day-of planner, I felt I was being spoiled! Soiree took care of so much BEYOND just the day of. They took time to get to know us, what we wanted. I hate to sound cliche, but they not only went above and beyond....They SOARED above the rest! They were professional, creative, thoughful, and most importantly, they allowed me to focus on what was most important to me... getting married. If I could score them above 5 stars, I would.

I was a bride with a vision, but needed help pulling all my ideas together. Megan at Soiree was the third wedding planner I met with, and was instantly a perfect match! Initially I was attracted to the budget-friendly price compared to the others I'd interviewed, but after our wedding I realized I would have paid much more for their services.
Megan was very attentive, perceptive and professional. Without Megan I would have been a royal mess by the time my wedding date arrived. With her I didn't feel the need to stress over the details because I had faith in her and her abilities.
I highly, highly recommend Megan and Soiree Event Designs! They made our wedding day a success, and we are still receiving positive comments. I am honestly sad that our wedding is over because I enjoyed the entire process so much, but life as a married woman is awesome!

When our daughter (and only child) became engaged I couldn’t wait to begin planning the wedding. I set two goals for myself. The first was to give our daughter the wedding of her dreams (or as close to it as possible) and to personally enjoy the day. I did not want to be the MOB frantically running around putting out fires the day of the wedding while everyone else was having a great time. I wanted to have the great time too!
Megan helped us to achieve those goals.
Megan far exceeded our expectations. When the Father of the Bride notices and is “WOWED” by the wedding coordinator you know she is awesome. He commented several time about how flexible Megan was and her willingness to accommodate us. He was especially impressed by her positive, can do attitude.
Megan has a great personality, was easy to work with and accessible. Phone calls and e-mails were returned promptly. Even after the wedding Megan e-mailed me with a reminder about a vendor refund due to me. I know Megan is very busy - but I always walked away with the feeling we were her priority.
The vendors suggested by Megan were professional and delivered a high quality of service for a fair price. Megan worked well with the church coordinators, vendors and the hotel staff - BUT she was clearly an advocate for us. Throughout the planning Megan offered helpful suggestions based on her experience.
Megan has the ability to instill confidence, When she says something is taken care of - it is. For the first time in my life I did not feel the urge to double check anything - it was amazing!
The day of the wedding Megan and Danielle did it all - from getting the brides car valet parked to making sure everything belonging to us was packed up and transported from the hotel at the end of the evening.
For me it was one of the best days of my life. The joy in seeing my beautiful daughter walk down the isle with her dad to begin a new chapter her in life was a once in a life time experience. Megan understood our daughter’s vision and helped create the wedding of her dreams. She understood my desire to enjoy the day - I have no idea if there were any fires to put out or not - if there were Megan and Danielle took care of them. In my mind everything was perfect.
- Megan deserves all the success in the world because she has earned it. If I had another daughter and she became engaged my first phone call would be to Megan!

Up until a month before our wedding I had done most of the planning on my own. Then I found Danielle with Soiree Event Designs. She came highly recommended by her sister Andrea with Branches and Twigs, and Danielle and her staff met every expectation and more they went above and beyond "Day of planning." She was always a phone call away when I had questions and made me feel very relaxed so that I was able to enjoy the day. I couln't have done it without them!! Well worth every penny, I probably would have paid double :) It was great to have her by my side throughout the day, she made sure there wasn't any bumps in the road, and if there were we didn't know about it. I can't say enough nice things about them!

I (literally) can't sing the praises of Soiree enough. We contracted them for their full-service package and from the on-set, both Megan and Danielle approached every single request with an enthusiastic "we will make it happen" attitude (an approach not seen with other planners we interviewed). As we live in Los Angeles and were wed in Barnes, KS. (population 162), it was crucial that we work with a team that not only understood the level of sophistication we wanted to bring to this event (especially amidst discerning attendees that included renowned fashion photographers, film producers and celebrities), but could carry it out to completion amongst a remote area where resources weren't readily available.
Serving as our main point of contact to local KC vendors, Soiree linked us up with amazing vendors that were happy to make the 3+ hour trek to Barnes and were also of the same "we will make it happen" mindset.
They eased worry by outling a production and payment timeline and worked with us to define a budget, even going so far as to negotiate with vendors on our behalf in an attempt to adhere to our pre-set budget (Yes, they do the dirty work too!).
They helped secure the florist, caterer, staffing, venue, tenting, lighting, tables, alcohol, just to name a few and even went so far as to help coordinate guest flights, lodging and also uncover special rates for car rentals and group flights (even creating special Welcome Bag care packages waiting for each guest at their rental car). They are OCD with details!
On the day before and of the wedding (when you really see the true colors of a planner), they handled EVERY single detail with well thought-out care and went above and beyond our expectations, again with the details.
I apologize for the novel, but I don't feel I can put into words or do justice to the amazing experience we had with Soiree.
I'd be happy to speak to anyone personally that may be considering using them. Post-wedding, you too will have trouble putting all they do, the support and guidance they provide and the professionalism into words. We wish only the best for Megan and Danielle and a lifetime of happiness for all those reading this.

Did so much and was so flexible and willing to help out. My reception space looked so amazing and I didn't have to worry about decorating or staying after - I also didn't have to ask friends and family to stay and take down everything when I really wanted them to relax and enjoy the weekend. I highly recommend Danielle and Soiree Event Designs!

Megan and Danielle are two of the most talented, organized, and professional women that I know. They made my wedding planning experience so easy and so much fun! I was truly able to enjoy every moment of the whole process because every detail was covered! My mom and I continue to talk about how my wedding day was absolutely perfect and it truly was because of Megan and Danielle! Thanks for everything!!!!

My wedding was over a year ago, and I am still very impressed with the level of service I recieved with Danielle and Megan. I am currently helping my best friend plan her wedding and it reminded of what a god send Danielle and Megan were to me, and led me to write this review. I told my friend she had to meet with them, and she is using them too! I have a ridiculously busy schedule, am horribly unorganized and I am not technically a girly girl. I know nothing about flowers, dresses, cakes, favors, invitations, etc... The only thing I really cared about was the venue and the band. That is where Soiree came in, they helped me plan a gorgeous wedding and have excellent taste. Before having their help I was lost and overwhelmed with so many decisions, could not keep everything straight, and had no idea what needed to be done. They helped to guide me in the right direction, helped me make the "girly" decisions, they kept me on track with my budget and schedule. They relieved my stress level by 100 percent. When the day of my wedding came, everything was seamless, I actually got to enjoy my day with my new husband and family without having to worry about any of the behind the scene work. They were amazing and I would highly recommend them! My friend told me they are opening a bridesmaid store called Bella bridesmaid in Brookside. I am very excited to see what they have to offer!

I am writing as a MOB. We couldn't have been more pleased with Soiree Events and the services they provided. Although we only contracted for "day of" services, Megan went above and beyond in meeting with us, answering questions, contacting ventdors, coordinating arrivals at both church and reception, transporting things between the 2 locations, making sure details were taken care of at the end of the night, and providing creative ideas when we were stumped! I remember thinking the day before the wedding "I should be doing something--or worrying about something"..but Megan had taken care of all those "last minute" things. I was able to totally relax and appreciate the beauty and joy of my daughter's wedding thanks to Soirree's professional handling of all the details. Several our vendors contacted me after the wedding to let me know how much they enjoyed working with Soiree. We couldn't be happier. If you want creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail, look to Soiree!

Soirre Event Designs was AMAZING to work with! They provided day of event coordination for my wedding this Spring. After meeting with Megan & Danielle for the first time, I knew that they would take a lot of the stress out of my wedding week. They were very detail oriented and on top of everything before it even crossed my mind! Soirre Event Designs worked very well with my other vendors and made the day run PERFECTLY! I was really able to relax and enjoy my wedding day thanks to Megan! I would highly recommend Soirre Event Designs to any bride!
