Kennedy Rosario

Kennedy was beyond amazing to have by my side with during the chaos of wedding planning leading up to my big day! I began to get overwhelmed about 8 weeks before my wedding date not knowing who would be in charge of all the "day of" duties - that's when I called EVLevents! Sam and Kennedy were able to walk me through each and every detail (some that I hadn't even thought of before!) leading to the most seamless and stress free event I've ever planned.
Kennedy was always quick to respond to emails and gave me sound, honest, and supportive advice on things that I was unsure about! Kennedy was also present at my rehersal and went over final touches during that time. This provided me with so much confidence that every small detail was going to be taken care of on our actual day! I was pleasantly overwhelmed with how everything turned out when I walked into the room - it was EXACTLY how I invisioned my venue to look! I have nothing but amazing things to say about EVLevents and the work they do. If you are debating spending the money to hire a weddinh planner, just go for it you, you won't be let down!
