#1 Planner!
Engaging Events was amazing!
Small simple and elegant!
Building our dream wedding
We wanted to have a small, intimate wedding focused on the food and throughout the process EE kept those priorities top of mind and made sure that everything we planned fell along those lines. I loved that right at the beginning of the planning process they asked for our top priorities (music, food, drinks, vibes, etc.) which guided everything we planned from the start.
We planned most of the wedding remotely, meaning that we relied heavily on EE to do venue tours, work with local vendors, and provide local expertise along the way. We ended up with the perfect venue, the most amazing food from Cru, and a band that was perfectly aligned with our vibe. EE worked with us to schedule regular calls and did virtual venue tours on our behalf and did so much behind the scenes on the ground which made everything so easy for us.
While I am sure EE, Kaely and Haley were also involved in other weddings throughout, it did not feel that way. We felt that we were their main focus and their organization and frequent communication meant that we never felt behind schedule. They kept up with Pinterest boards that we saved to show our vision of how we wanted the wedding to look, and planned everything accordingly so that the day felt exactly how we wanted.
The actual wedding day felt like it went exactly to plan, and neither of us felt any stress throughout. The only thing we wish is that the day could’ve lasted even longer as we had so much fun with our friends and family. From the coordination of the photographers and videographers, the food, florals, the band, the transportation, and everything else it felt seamless. We did not have to focus on any decisions on the day and we’re fully able to be present and enjoy eachother, which is exactly what we dreamed of. We had a clear vision of what we wanted the day to look like, and it looked exactly as we hoped.
I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Kaely, Haley, and the EE team and how highly we recommend them. We hope everyone can have such a seamless, positive, and loving wedding planning process and wedding day as we did!
It was an absolute joy to work with the Engaging Events Team!
Breathtaking and stress-fr
Their ability to listen to our vision and bring it to life was truly impressive. Every detail, from the decor to the timeline, was executed flawlessly, and we could not have asked for a smoother, more stress-free experience. They handled every challenge with grace and ensured that our day unfolded exactly as we had hoped, without a single hitch.
We also appreciated how warm and approachable they were, always making us feel like a priority, no matter how busy things got. The quality of service we received was exceptional, and the results were beyond our expectations. Thanks to Cheyenne, our wedding was a dream come true, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier planner who combines expertise with a personal touch.
Thank you for making our day so special!
Amazing experience & extremely knowledgable group!
Absolutely crushed the florals as well, I still am in awe at how perfect they came out!
