Kelly is a creator of creativity with her vision, ideas and product knowledge. Kelly is not considered to be your "typical" planner, but yet a planner that will provide you with professional services, 24/7 availability and a twist of offering something "Always Different." I think her vision will set you apart from the norm. I am sure you will be more than satisfied with her business and services.

Kelly and Always Different Events are amazing! Kelly's attention to detail and follow up was exactly what I needed to keep me from turning into Bridezilla or just being overwhelmed with this large out of state wedding (3 venues, 24 person bridal party, 80 out of town guests etc) ! Through tears and stress, she was the one we could depend on. From family members to limo drivers we have gotten so many compliments about Kelly and her team. And that speaks volume when everyone notices her skills. Not only did she make my husband and I feel special, but she catered to our entire family. Her creative/design vision is top notch. A bride and groom need to feel calmness and Kelly was our calm in the storm. We could not have asked for a better day and its highly due to her organization and positive spirit. I would recommend Kelly to anyone having an event: getting married, having a birthday, baby shower, conference or planning any special destination party (I'm sure she will travel).

I really can't express how amazing she is. IT IS THE BEST MONEY YOU WILL SPEND PLANNING YOUR EVENT!! Seriously.

When choosing a wedding planner consider this upcoming business as the window to your complete satisfaction and happiness to look back on as an EVENT! To be fair, look at her proposal; compare it to your vision; look at her social media reviews and; in the end all you will have to do is let her do her job and you answer your cell or email when she has a question!!! I was the father of the groom and outstate and even though I wasn't directly involved in the intricacies of the wedding, that which I did have involvement were made easy with Ms. Gardner's attention to details and follow-ups.

As the producer of a large event for a school district, we outsourced certain portions of the event production to local vendors. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Gardner, who understood and translated the very exacting expectations of our superintendent. Her creativeness and unique design outlook allowed us to transform a high school hallway into a winter wonderland. There was never a complaint. Her team exceeded expectations

Kelly and her team are simply AMAZING!!! We enthusiastically encourage any couple to go with a professional wedding coordinator. It's worth it! There are so many details that it really is an advantage to have a professional group working through them and offering creative ideas. Attention to details is an important element in having a truly memorable celebration. The team handles all the unexpected issues that arise on the wedding day, allowing the bride and groom, along with the family to enjoy the day. When selecting your wedding coordinator, Always Different is the best!
