    Thank you Sue Kelson for everything you did for me. You are not only professional, but your contacts are amazing and you really listened to what I wanted. You provided spur of the moment feedback when I needed it, gave me incredible attention to detail and made things seamless with all the tools and your team. I felt like a movie star! And you are incredible affordable as well! I highly recommend Sue Kelson for any party planning!

    It was so fun to be able to help you plan your wedding, and to see your family again! I was honored to have been asked, and so happy we got to know each other even more during the planning. Wishing you and Chris a lifetime of happiness together!

    We planned our wedding from out of state, so trust and flexibility with the wedding planner was a MUST. With that said, we loved and appreciated Sue and her team so much!! From making it to our meetings wearing a cast in the rain, to negotiating extra hours at the venue for us when the party wouldn't stop-- our wedding was magical AND 100% stress free, which is all thanks to Sue!! Absolutely recommend for any nervous brides out there who want to make sure your over-the-top details turn out as perfect as your imagined!!

    Sue Kelson is the epitome of professionalism. She possesses the rare mastery of event planning, food pairing, and decorum. She has a talent for understanding all of her clients needs and wishes, As a vendor I cannot refer her enough.

    When I came here (theknot.com) to do a research on what I thought it was a good wedding planner, I did not know what I got myself into!
    When I went to meet Mrs. Sue and Mrs. Beverly I was so scared, I did not know what to think or where to start. But, for my surprise they started asking us questions about our big day and everything went smoothly. They understood what we wanted and worked from there to make a VERY special and beautiful event. Mrs. Sue is very detailed oriented, and she would not let anything pass by without her noticing (and I mean ANY THING!!!) She is very fun to hangout with too! She will be there, by your side in every meeting to make sure everything is what you want.
    Overall I had a very very special day thanks to Sue Kelson Events! I cannot thank you enough for your work, your PATIENCE, and your time! HANDS DOWN THEY ARE THE BEST OUT THERE!

    Sue Kelson Events's reply:

    Your wedding was so special to us! We adored both you and your new husband, and your entire family! You were a gorgeous bride, and you knew your vision, and I'm so happy that we were able to be a part of your wedding day. We know you and your husband will have a wonderful life together!

    Sue was wonderful to work with! She was extremely helpful with budgets at the venue, provided excellent vendor recommendations and always had multiple solutions to a problem. We loved having Sue on our side and her guidance was much appreciated. The weekend of the weekend she was magical at making sure all the family felt welcomed plus keeping us on schedule at the rehearsal and the wedding.

    Although Sue is my sister-in-law, she was also my wedding planner for my wedding in 1997, and my husband and I renewed our vows this past August in Las Vegas. Once again, I turned to the expert in the family to plan our event! All of our guests came from out of town, and Sue helped to arrange for transportation, hotels, and of course, the wedding chapel and reception. My husband had a few surprises up his sleeve, which Sue knew about and did not let me know, and our guests went crazy! At the end of the night, we were informed that we were nearly $1,000 short of meeting our food and beverage minimum. Sue stepped in and spoke with the manager, and arranged for ½ bottles of wine to be given away as party favors for our guests. Everyone got a big kick out of taking away a nice party favor, and our money was spent wisely. Everyone had a great evening, and I had no worries as Sue took care of all the details! You will not be disappointed, as she is very organized and thinks quickly on her feet – nothing will ruffle her feathers!

    Sue Kelson Events helped plan my wedding from start to finish, and I could not have done it without her help! Sue and her team took over all the details, so I did not have to worry about a thing. As I was finishing my studies in NYC, I had little time to plan, and it’s also very hard to plan a wedding long distance. Sue and her team worked with my parents in Dallas to find my venue, florist, and band. It was an amazing night, and my husband and I enjoyed every moment, not worrying about one single detail. Sue told me when it was time for pictures, time to cut the cake, time to dance, and even made sure our reception site had a meal waiting for us when we arrived! We ate before we went into the reception, which was brilliant, as we were both so hungry! I would recommend Sue Kelson Events for your wedding or any special family party!

    Sue and Beverly are quite the team!! They are phenomenal at what they do, and you will be very pleased you selected Sue Kelson Events. They are extremely professional, prompt, knowledgeable, creative, and easy to work with. They know their etiquette and can help plan, down to the smallest of details, every part of an event. They helped to create a wedding of my dreams, even when I never really envisioned what my wedding would look like. I highly recommend Sue Kelson Events!!

    As the Father of Bride, it was a very emotional day to give away my little girl. Sue Kelson Events made the day less stressful, knowing that she was always near, to answer my questions, and even helped me with my Welcome Speech to our wedding guests. She assisted my wife in planning each and every aspect of the wedding from assisting in choosing my daughter’s wedding gown, to selecting the band. My job was much easier, but Sue helped me plan the golf tournament for the men, the day before the wedding. At the end of the night when my wife and I were very tired, Sue and Beverly helped get all the gifts into the car, along with the leftover wedding cake. My wife and I did not need to lift a finger. It was a wonderful day, and Sue Kelson Events was a big part of the success of the wedding!

    My son was married this past summer, and Sue & Beverly made the wedding perfect! The mother of the bride lives out of town, so I did most of the planning for her. Without the help of Sue Kelson Events, I would have pulled my hair out! They helped me find the reception site, the DJ, and the perfect florist – all within our budget. The day of the wedding we enjoyed our guests and did not worry a single thing. Sue and Beverly had it covered!

    Sue and Beverly were a gift to Rob and I from the moment we met them. Both of us are busy professionals, we knew we wanted a tasteful and elegant wedding (not the first for either of us) but having the time to plan all the details and bring the right vendors to the table was overwhelming YIKES! Sue and Beverly did "all the heavy lifting!" They spent time getting to know us, discovered some of our favorite things - rain and umbrellas, deep rich royal colors, and devoted their time and talent to making the entire weekend perfect. There were family and friends from age 10 to 90 and they all had a marvelous time. They planned the "get pretty party" for the all the girls in the wedding, the wonderful meals, gathered up a terrific band and photographer (who was so inconspicuous you didn't even know he was there), arranged the rehearsal dinner and finally the end-of-the-weekend send off luncheon when we said good-bye to out of town guests. Through out it all they were professional, patient, pleasant and hilarious when it was time to be. So getting together with them for planning meetings was never a chore, it was always fun! Couples tell stories and laugh about that little guffaw that happened on their wedding day - we didn't have one, we had Sue and Beverly - no way that was going to happen!

    My niece was married this past summer, and I suggested that she use Sue Kelson Events, as she has helped me plan numerous events together in the past. Wise choice, as no one in our family had to worry about a single thing - Sue and Beverly took care of every single thing the entire day of the wedding. A button came off one of the groomsmen's tuxes, and Sue, even with a broken wrist, sewed the button back on so he was ready to go! My niece and her husband enjoyed their day, while Sue and Beverly kept them on schedule. It went off without a hitch! I would recommend Sue Kelson Events to any bride for a flawless day.

    Sue Kelson Events is my "go to" resource for any special event that I have planned! Building a relationship with Sue Kelson Events has ensured a wonderful, personal touch to each of our milestone family celebrations. Hiring a professional to coordinate and oversee the details of planning, budgeting, and getting creative is the smartest thing I've ever done! I can sit back, enjoy the moments and watch the event unfold! I'm always amazed to see the concept that we've worked on together come to life. Sue's experience, expertise in event planning and sense of fun gives my events that special touch that opens the door for those sweet, lifelong memories.

    Where do I even begin on Sue Kelson? She demonstrates every attribute of what a professional event planner should be. Throughout the years, Sue has helped us plan a variety of events including a wedding, Christmas parties, major fundraisers and everything in between. Because of her expertise and supreme professionalism, from the moment when you first approach her to plan an event, until the last linen is removed, your experience is beyond all expectations. Her ability to put clients at ease and anticipate their needs and concerns puts her in a league of her own. In the end, we felt that we had the event planner of our dreams, but we also felt as though we had gained a friend! Her dedication and passion to the job is what will keep us coming back time and time again. Sue is more than a wedding planner – she is a life concierge!

    Sue Kelson helped me plan one of the most important events in my life - my wedding. I was so overwhelmed at the daunting task ahead of me. When I contacted Sue, she immediately put me at ease which enabled me to finally relax and enjoy the adventure. Sue's recommendations and contacts were spot-on. Any time I had a question, she responded immediately. She helped me think through what my vision was and then put it to paper. I feel like she really cared that every detail was addressed. I would have been lost without her. When my wedding date finally arrived, she held my hand every step of that day. I was blessed to find Sue.

    I had the most awesome wedding reception EVER, which I have dubbed, "My Party!"
    We met with Sue Kelson several times to go over everything. Sue covered every last detail. Sue listened to us, asked lots of questions and made suggestions, many of which we implemented. She kept in constant contact with us and my stress level was kept at a minimum.
    I KNEW I was in good hands and I was right! I was so confident MY DAY was going to be perfect and Sue would see to it...She did, without fail! Every single detail, large, down to teeny tiny was done! I remained calm the entire day, because in Sue's gentle voice she would inform me of where and what was happening next. A gentle touch on the shoulder, a whisper in my ear, a slight nod of the head, Sue was there! We had lots of stuff going on at "My Party"...guest greeting, food, photo booth...etc. I did absolutely nothing except have the time of my life! My husband and I DID have the perfect reception...Sue saw to it. The tables were beautiful, food fantastic, lighting perfect, timing for cake etc. was done at the best time (and not at my doing as Sue kept everything flowing perfectly!) lots of laughter and the smile never left my face!
    I have nothing but praise for Sue Kelson Events! Sue was everywhere, tending to everything, but funny thing is, I don't recall seeing her other than when she would tap my shoulder and whisper my ear "it's time for..." I know she was busy behind the scenes keeping the reception going.
    In fact, our 200 guests are still talking about "My Party." Everyone is saying it was the wedding/reception of the century and the best one they have attended! SUCCESS!
    If you want your event to be perfect, Sue is your lady! Her experience, calm demeanor, gentle voice and ability to take care of every detail is priceless!
    I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation towards Sue. She's amazing and I am forever grateful for her.
    Thank you Sue Kelson!

    I wanted a destination wedding which was a bit scary in the beginning. Then I got in touch with Sue Kelson to help coordinate the long distance event. She worked directly with the hotel, photographer, florist, musicians, and even the minister. Once Sue was working with me, I had no more fears. She is the ultimate professional. She knows what you want before you do! Her attention to detail is every woman's dream come true. If not for Sue I would have been a nervous wreck with all the details. She even took care of a bouquet crisis without batting an eye!!! The woman can do everything! You can trust her. The fact that Sue was there allowed me to really focus on enjoying the entire day as every bride should.

    In the past Sue Kelson has helped me with many events! I have seen the results of her work and expertise from anything from weddings to formal dinner parties to award ceremonies and more! I couldn't have chosen a more reliable, organized and personable expert. She handles any situation professionally and calmly and to top it off she is fun to work with - not to mention her honest opinions helped steer me in the right direction for every event.

    I had my wedding at a local country club in 2009. Sue Kelson was the wedding planner and she was fantastic! Every detail was handled with the utmost professionalism and attention. Everything was perfect! We met a few times before the big event to line out what I wanted. She was on hand for the entire event, all the way to seeing us to our limo at the end of the night. The ceremony was perfect, and the reception was a blast. People are still telling me what a great time they had!! Thanks Sue!!

    Sue and Beverly were relaxing and very well organized for the rehearsal. but what was really impressive is that they anticipated everything regarding the wedding and reception. Stayed till the very end and did not miss a beat from beginning to end. In fact the reception lasted longer than I expected and she already came to me with a very reasonable negotiated price to extend the open bar past original closing. IF SOMETHETHING WAS NOT PERFECT I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT. Several guests said it might have been the best wedding they ever attended except for maybe their daughters.
