About

This inspired her to start her business, with the goal of helping couples pull off the stress-free celebrations of their dreams. Kosi Events brings thoughtful and bespoke planning services to couples tying the knot in Moab, Vail, Aspen, Telluride, and beyond.

We had the best experience with Kosi Events!

Kosi Events is hands down the best wedding planning team! They made the planning experience infinitely easier and more enjoyable. I really appreciate the organizational tools they set up for us at the beginning of the planning process, vendor recommendations, monthly calls, taking over the vendor communications, being there the day of our wedding and overall the deep knowledge of the Moab area. We worked with Charley and Andrea and they are so wonderful and lovely. Thank you Kosi team for helping us with the wedding of our dreams!!!

Love you Kosi!

April and Andrea were SO amazing - they kept us on track with all of our to-dos in the most gentle and fun way. They made us feel special, and they made our wedding special. They met us where we were at and made it all so effortless!

We couldn't have done it without them!

Working with Cait and the Kosi Events team was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding!

We started planning our wedding at the same time I began nursing school, a combo that could have been incredibly stressful, but thanks to Cait, it never was. From day one, she made everything feel organized and doable. Kosi provided excellent vendor recommendations and an easy-to-follow planning timeline that clearly laid out what to book and when. About six months out, we began monthly meetings with Cait to go over every detail, little by little, which made the entire process feel incredibly manageable.

But the most amazing part of the entire experience was how much of a rockstar Cait was on the wedding day itself. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She brought my entire vision to life, coordinated every vendor flawlessly, kept the day on schedule, made sure we were fed and hydrated, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once keeping the party flowing. Our guests even commented that she was “like a ninja” running around making magic happen!

We truly can’t thank Cait enough. She exceeded every expectation and made our day completely stress-free, beautiful, and really let us enjoy the moment. I can honestly say our day would not have been the same without her.If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner…do it. We would recommend Kosi Events a thousand times over!

Can't recommend more highly!

It's hard to put into words just how incredible April and her team are. Right from the very start, when we were unsure if having a 150-person wedding over two days at our own property would be feasible, April provided informed and detailed guidance and resources to help us make the decision. She is a pro, and you can tell how long she's been in the business and how respected she is by the way vendors sing her praises. With every decision she provided all of the information necessary to make it easy and straightforward, without ever being pushy or imposing her own preferences. In the month leading up, and the two days onsite, April could not have been more relaxed and in control, ready to pivot when needed and always projecting calm and certainty. We had a pretty unique ceremony, and many vendors (since it was at our own place), and the Kosi team took it all in stride, managing all vendor communications a month leading up to the wedding so that we could focus on getting the place ready. I couldn't recommend Kosi Events more highly, and the rate felt very reasonable for the value and level of service we received.

Kosi Events is the Answer

As a Type-A individual, I never imagined I’d be able to fully let go and trust the year-long process of planning a wedding—let alone from out of state. Hiring Kosi and working closely with Charley from month 13 until the big day was one of the best decisions we made—not just for our wedding, but for our peace of mind.

From the very beginning, Charley went above and beyond. She outlined every task from day one, kept us organized with Trello, and was lightning-fast in her communication. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate needs before we even realized them made us feel cared for every step of the way. Even from hundreds of miles away, we felt connected and confident, which turned what could have been a stressful process into something we were actually able to enjoy.

Kosi also offers rentals, which took even more stress off our plates. One of my specific requests was to have a line of Moroccan rugs down the aisle to complement the desert vibes of Moab. Charley and April spent their own days off scouring flea markets and shops to source them—and on the wedding day, it was exactly as I’d envisioned.

What truly set them apart, though, was the heart they poured into everything. This wasn’t just about logistics—it was about understanding our vision, our personalities, and the experience we wanted for our loved ones. Charley protected us from overpriced vendors, offered creative alternatives, and came up with ideas that made our wedding uniquely ours. For example, since my partner and I are big fans of early 2000s emo music, she helped us incorporate acoustic versions of our favorite bands into cocktail hour and even suggested fun touches like custom napkins and a temporary tattoo station—which ended up being a huge hit with our guests.

On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly—but what meant the most was how calm and present we were able to feel. Instead of worrying about timelines or details, we laughed, danced, and soaked in every moment with our guests, knowing we were in the best hands. Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner had nothing on Charley. I forgot deodorant during a dress change—Charley had it. I started to feel anxious and needed champagne as guests arrived—Charley already had it in hand.

Our friends and family kept saying how seamless and beautiful everything felt, and that’s a reflection of the love, care, and hard work Charley put into every detail. If you’re wondering whether a planner is worth it—especially if you’re planning from afar—let me assure you: it is. Kosi didn’t just give us the wedding we dreamed of; they gave us the gift of truly being able to live it. For that, we’ll always be grateful.

Highly Recommend!

We are so glad we chose to work with Kosi Events for our wedding! Lacie was our planner and she was a lifesaver, I don't know what we would have done without her. She created a timeline, helped us with rentals, and even took over all vendor communication for the few weeks prior to the wedding. The day of she made sure that everything went as scheduled and helped ensure that the day was as low stress for us as possible. I highly recommend Lacie and her team, they.made our special day absolutely perfect.

Charley with Kosi Events is the BEST Wedding Planner in Colorado!

Charley, with the help of her assistant, Megan, are hands down THE BEST wedding planners one could ask for! I wish the rating wasn’t limited to only 5 stars, so I could leave 10 stars, because Charley definitely will give you everything you want in a wedding planner and MORE!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Charley for the past 18 months leading up to my wife’s and my wedding, and it was truly something that made our wedding better than I could have ever imagined. We will truly miss working with Charley and our monthly meetings, as my wife and I came to consider Charley as both family and a friend!

Charley with Kosi Events was the kindest, most thoughtful, most engaged planner one could ask for. She was always easy to contact, run ideas by, and was able to add priceless value to every aspect of our wedding day. When we had questions outside of our meeting times, Charley would always be quick to respond with very informational responses that answered all of our needs. When we had concerns about specific portions of our wedding day celebration, she was our voice of reason and our peace of mind, letting us know that our dreams we wanted for our wedding day was something that was truly attainable.

Charley truly brought our vision to life, was detail oriented and provided us timelines so we could remain on schedule, and went above and beyond on making sure we were up to date on vendor responses, payment schedules for other vendors, etc.

Charley gave us hands down the BEST recommendations for Photographers, Videographers, Entertainment, Florists, Food Vendors, and Decoration companies. So if you want to know all of the best vendors and aspects that are at times difficult to find or “hush-hush” within the industry, Charley is your go-to on all things wedding day.

Now let’s get into the numbers. My wife and I looked for over a month and had nearly a dozen meetings with other wedding planners, before we met Charley with Kosi Events, and none could compare to Charley with Kosi Events. Some wedding planners wanted $20,000, $30,000, and $40,000+ for their services and we would have still had to have made all contact with vendors and most all other aspects of wedding planning. Charley with Kosi Events, was NOWHERE NEAR THAT EXPENSIVE and provided EVEN MORE SERVICE THAN COMPETITORS!!! Charley with Kosi events shows that you are not just some customer or some account, but you are someone they care about, someone they want to help, and someone who by the end will be both friends and family. So if you want a wedding planner who is affordable, realistic in price, and meets all your needs Charley with KOSI EVENTS IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE AND BEST PRICED WEDDING PLANNERS!!!

Thank you Charley for all of your advice, wisdom, expertise, and guidance these past months! We loved our perfect wedding day in every way!! I hope in 20+ years that my future kids can work with you as their wedding planner also!! ❤️

Outstanding!

April and the Kosi Events team were absolutely incredible - we could not have planned such an amazing wedding (in just 6 months!) without them. From vendor recommendations to the detailed monthly check-ins and online management platform, we had a seamless and efficient planning experience. The Kosi team handled every detail on the wedding day, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the time with family and friends.

The way our vision came to life far exceeded any expectations we had. Would recommend Kosi Events to everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
