Ben P. Sent on 11/23/2020Thank you, Stephanie!
Stephanie was a HUGE help as we planned our big day. From the regular planning sessions back in February, to the navigation of the 2020/COVID hurdles, and finally getting our modified and safely held November wedding coordinated, Stephanie was able to handle all of it in stride! We appreciated her ability to be flexible with us as well as let us make the day how we hoped, while stepping in to take as much off our plates as possible! I have no idea how we would have got everything decorated without their help, and hope anyone who is considering working with Stephanie in the future will consider booking her! Thanks for all the help!! -

Kathryn Sent on 06/16/2016I found Stephanie with Pretty + Planned through reading reviews on Wedding Wire. It was apparent through the reviews that Stephanie was personable, creative, and detail oriented. After my first contact with Stephanie she quickly became the most valuable asset in our wedding planning. We hired Stephanie as a "Day of Coordinator" with several ala carte options. My husband and I live in New York City and planning a wedding across the country is a daunting task. To make it more complicated, we were planning an outside reception at a private estate and were creating the venue from scratch. Stephanie connected us with all of our vendors and had them draft quotes of everything we were needing. On more than one occasion, Stephanie was able to get better deals than what is typically offered as she is friends with many of the best vendors in Kansas City. Stephanie really shined when three days prior to the wedding we needed to change our reception venue because of stormy weather in Kansas City. Stephanie worked around the clock finding a new reception venue and once we arrived in Kansas City from NYC she helped us organize every detail and kept Kyle and I as free from stress as possible. Due to the reception change, Stephanie had to revise most of her work, including calling each vendor to update them of the change, and recreating all the timelines. I imagine this was stressful to Stephanie, but she never expressed anything but excitement. Kyle and I grew so close to Stephanie that it was sad for us to end our working relationship after the wedding. We look forward to hiring Stephanie during future events that we hold in Kansas City. Stephanie will always be remembered as a blessing to our wedding day, which thanks to Stephanie was absolutely flawless. -

Erin Sent on 01/08/2013Stephanie was so helpful with the wedding planning process. I first heard about her through my maid of honor who also used her. After she was a godsend for her wedding, we decided to also use her and boy was she worth it! She first off is super nice and outgoing, she is willing to help you answer any questions you have during the planning process and is very responsive! I think my favorite thing about having Stephanie was that I didn't have to worry about the small things that you plan all year for on our wedding day. It really was such a stress reliever, and she was also able to make decisions that day about some set up items that I didn't even think of. She made the ceremony and reception run so smoothly, and she is not afraid to tell people what to do or where they need to be at so that the bride isn't running around worrying about the programs or the candles being lit, etc.. I would consider Stephanie a good friend now too, she is just the sweetest thing! Stephanie is also very affordable and the week of my wedding she called and confirmed all my vendors for me, which was some stress taken off my back! I had the most wonderful wedding day and didn't care much about anything else, except having fun and just enjoying the day you planned for all year, which is what I think every bride should do! -

Lauren Sent on 06/23/2012Stephanie was a LIFESAVER at our wedding, my husband and I joke that she was the glue that kept our wedding together! Let me first give you some context, we planned our wedding from California, we both have complex family situations (cough*drama*cough) and we both work very demanding and time consuming jobs – even through all this Stephanie worked so well with us and put all our concerns to ease on a schedule that worked for us (i.e. late nights for her because of the time difference).
One of the reasons we went with Stephanie over other wedding coordinators was because of her kind yet in-charge demeanor. She was able to make sure everything flowed well while still being nice and respectful to our squirrely and sometimes unpredictable family and friends. Her prices are great and she is super flexible about helping with whatever your specific needs are. We did not originally plan on hiring a wedding coordinator, and now we think hiring her was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process.
Also, something fun to note, she was so great at our wedding that at the end of the night two couples, who are close friends and engaged, hired her to be their wedding coordinator in their November and December weddings! We cannot think her enough for doing such a great job!!

Tammy Sent on 04/27/2012We hired Stephanie as a Day of Coordinator and she was the best decision I ever made in the whole wedding planning process! Stephanie thought of every detail and would ask so many questions about things I completely overlooked. I can’t tell you how many times I said, “I didn’t think of that…you’re right! It’s so important.” We had an in-person meeting, phone calls, and several emails before the wedding. She really got involved the few weeks before the wedding and was an amazing help in building a timeline, confirming with all of my vendors, etc. She basically took over at the point where I was too flippin’ tired to care anymore. On the day of the wedding, she kept every thing on track and she was calm, which calmed the rest of us. She even made sure we ate and that our drinks were always full! There were things that occurred that I didn’t even know about until the next day because Stephanie handled them and knew that I didn’t need to be bothered with them. I really appreciated how friendly she was, she was easy to work with, and I had full confidence that she would take care of my day….and she did! A LIFESAVER! And she had much better prices than other planners in KC….I feel like I really got a deal for the service she provided. -

Audrey Sent on 11/03/2011Stephanie was fantastic! She was very flexible with us in deciding what level of service/help we needed and fitting within our budget. The work she did in the weeks leading up to the wedding by helping me to organize and get ready was absolutely priceless. The day of coordination is an absolute must! Stephanie was nothing but a joy to be around but had no problem being firm with vendors when she needed to be. She truly made the day flow by without a hitch and I can't thank her enough! -

Christi Sent on 06/15/2010Stephanie was absolutely amazing as our day of wedding coordinator. She arrived on time (with my flowers she picked up from the florist for us) and helped us with absolutely everything. We weren’t able to get into the hall to decorate the night before so we had a LOT to do the day of and Stephanie jumped right in with both feet. She kept us on schedule with our timeline and was the voice of reason we needed when we were all running around like crazy. Stephanie is incredibly organized and always returns calls/emails within her set time frame. She is very helpful with the planning phase and will help you map your timeline and stick to it and think of things you may have overlooked. I would highly recommend a day of coordinator and I would definitely recommend Stephanie as a choice!
