Great Experience

Kellene made sure everything was in order and taken care of the day of my wedding. The wedding went perfectly. If there were any problems I didn’t know about them and she handled it. The set up was great. At the end of the night she packed everything up so quick. I would definitely recommend Kellene!

Flawless Wedding

A recently married coworker recommended Kellene and Betty Blue Events to me for my wedding. I'm so glad I hired them! I purchased the "month before" package, and everything worked great. Kellene coordinated with my other vendors very well, made timelines, and just kept the pressure off of me for the month leading up to the wedding. It was perfect, and made the wedding-planning experience so much easier with much less stress. The prices are reasonable, and so worth it. My wedding day went down without a hitch. The entire team made sure the day moved along, was timely, and that everything was as I wanted it. I highly recommend this power team to help make your wedding dreams come true!

Seamless Experience

Going into wedding planning, I wasn't sure of what I wanted my wedding to look like. I didn't necessarily have a vision, and I was hoping the wedding planner I ended up with would just take the reigns. It's not that I didn't care about my wedding, but I just didn't have anything in mind and I felt totally lost. However, Kellene helped me create a wedding that actually included pieces and styles that I liked. I think before meeting her, I believed that people had their own style, and then apart from that, they had their own wedding style. I didn't know that my own style could become my wedding style. She helped me incorporate styles and themes that I liked into my wedding flawlessly and everything came together beautifully. I was in my last year of nursing school and graduated a few weeks before my wedding so to say I was stressed and needed her help was an understatement. Kellene is organized, on time, and made sure to plan the wedding I would enjoy and never pushed me to make decisions that I didn't feel comfortable making. The week leading up to the wedding, I was incredibly stressed out, but seeing her work her magic and delegating tasks to my family members in an efficient and professional manner helped to ease some of my worries on the big day. Kellene truly is a professional and I could not recommend her enough. She is one step ahead of everything which is what you want in a wedding planner and has plenty of experience. My parents and close family members were also impressed with her professionalism and all enjoyed working with her. Choosing her as my wedding planner was probably the best decision I made in my wedding planning process. 10/10!

All Around Outstanding

Kellene and her team at Betty Blue Events are highly experienced, knowledgeable, and organized. My husband and I worked with Kellene for about a year to plan our dream wedding. Kellene took the time to make sure that everything, down to the smallest detail, was planned and executed the way we wanted. I cannot thank Kellene and Betty Blue Events enough for their outstanding professionalism and attention to detail.
Our wedding was everything we hoped for and it is all because of Kellene's wedding expertise.

Best Coordination in the Industry!

Every bride has her MUST HAVE vendors and Betty Blue Events was an obvious decision when it came to hiring month of coordination. Aside from Kellene's talented eye for design, communication made planning our wedding with her seamless. 30 days out from the wedding day, she was able to jump right in and pick up the pieces I missed and carry out a successful timeline for executing the most magical day. 3 dates and 3 venues later due to the pandemic, Kellene was a rockstar every step of the way! Thank you, Betty Blue Events, for making our day shine. We could not have done it without you!

We couldn't have done it without her

To say I could not have done this without Kellene is an understatement. I was one of those who didn’t really have a clear vision of what I wanted for my wedding and one of those who had no idea how much work was involved in planning one. Kellene was able to listen to me, to get to know me, asking all the right questions, and giving me all the right suggestions, guiding me so that I could finally envision what I wanted and helping me see how detail by detail it would unfold. She gave me her opinions, but with facts and examples, so that I could make the right decisions. She narrowed down vendors based on my needs and helped coordinate back and forth with them, taking so much of the stress off of me. All of this to say she was amazing. But when the pandemic hit us just a little over 2 months away from our end of May wedding in 2020, she took amazing to another level. With so much confusion and unknown, she became my rock. When we finally realized that we had to reschedule, she reached out to all our vendors, coordinated with all of them, working out new contracts. And then she repeated this all over again, when we had to reschedule yet again. She did all of this without skipping a beat, never a complaint, not a sigh, nor a hesitation. She constantly checked in with us, talked to us, really helped us feel as though we had someone supporting us through all of it. Just a couple months out from our 2nd rescheduled date, we finally decided to change gears and move forward with a micro wedding at then end of October, going from a 150 person event and shifting everything down to an intimate 24 person event, she dove in and again worked everything out with our vendors, going back and forth getting revised contracts, doing her best to work with them to make things fair and right for everyone. She then sprang into action re-working our original plans for set up and decor and revising them so they’d be perfect for our now smaller event. She was there the day of, but honestly, we were so wrapped up in how perfectly beautiful everything turned out that we hardly noticed her there (in a good way!), she became part of the day, floating in and around the event, making sure everything was going smoothly. She was always right there when I needed her, and always magically had in her hand whatever it was that I was looking for, like she already knew. Our wedding day was everything we wanted and more. Looking back I don’t thing we would have changed anything if we were given the chance, and there is no doubt in our minds that it was all because of Kellene. It’s clear she loves what she does and loves the couples she works with. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about that perfect day, thank you so much Kellene.

Campbell Wedding

I could not imagine going through this process without Kellene and her team. This past year was quite a rollercoaster and we are so thankful we had Kellene along for the ride. We experienced postponing, changing venues, updating number of guests and more! Her service attitude and guidance was second to none. The day turned out to be just as magical as we could have ever hoped. If you are contemplating a planner, stop thinking and reach out to snag her up! Highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Kellene, of Betty Blue Events, is a delight to work with! She pays keen attention to detail, ensuring that any event will run smoothly. While Betty Blue focuses on lower budget weddings, her style never looks it. Your guests will never be able to tell where you cut back, because of the clever decisions that Kellene will help you make. She finds just the right balance of prioritizing style and budget. As a vendor, I appreciate that Kellene gives me the guidance that I need, and then sets me free to do what I do best. Not being micro-managed is wonderful! I have such fun when I get to collaborate with Betty Blue Events, and I have no doubt that her brides do too.
