Excellent Planner and Coordinator

Kelsey offered multiple (even monthly) check ins for a year leading up to the event that helped keep the planning process moving. On the day of - the coordination was stellar, bottom line. We had 0 worries on the big day and Kelsey handled the event beautifully.

The perfect day thanks to Kelsey!

If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, book Kelsey! She did an amazing job to ensure that our day went off without a hitch. I planned my wedding from across the country and while I was comfortable doing all of the heavy lifting up front, I wanted to relax on my wedding day and Kelsey helped me do just that.

From the Zoom check-ins to meeting in person to tour our venue, I felt supported every step of the way. Kelsey was great about bringing up details I hadn't considered and was incredibly professional. Our venue was unique in that nothing was included onsite. Kelsey coordinated all of the logistics for us and it truly was the perfect day.

I would work with Kelsey again on future events and recommend her to anyone in the PNW looking for a planner/coordinator.

Best Decisions we made for our wedding

Hiring Kelsey as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions for our wedding. She was professional and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding, helping us capture "to-do's" and making sure things didn't slip through the cracks. That's just the level support that we needed up until week-of. Then she was amazing at our rehearsal and had everyone feeling prepared and ready for the big day. We still joke that on our wedding day, if anything did go wrong, we didn't hear about it -- which I think is the ultimate test of a great day-of coordinator. Our wedding day was a dream and very stress-free, which I know Kelsey played a key role in that.

Wonderful Professional Wedding Coordinator

As a wedding DJ, working with Kelsey was a great experience! I received quality, well written Day of Timelines and Layouts in plenty of advance time so I had the information I needed to help me double check my work and feel prepared for my wedding day work. The day of the event, working with Kelsey was seamless, peaceful and pleasant. She is a great communicator, attentive and hard working. She had everything totally dialed in for the whole day and I personally never noticed a single hiccup in the whole event. As someone currently working in the wedding industry, I think Kelsey is performing quality work, is a dependable wedding coordinator and a pleasure to work with. I hope to get to work with her at many more wedding events!

Best wedding coordinator ever!

Kelsey brought so much to our wedding! Above and beyond, meeting and coordinating with us many times before the big day, then making everything run smoothly at the event. Could not recommend anyone more highly for a day-of coordinator.

A weight lifted!

Kelsey was a HUGE help in alleviating stress and ensuring everything ran smoothly for the day of my wedding! Every detail o never would have thought of Kelsey did and ensured they were checked off our to do list leading up to the wedding. Even when our ceremony got rained on she jumped into action to help protect the DJ and rest of the reception! 10/10 recommend hiring Kelsey for your wedding coordination.
