Kelly was so much more than a day of Wedding Planner!

Kelly's attention to detail kept us on track as we addressed the myriad of details involved in planning the wedding. She gave us many helpful suggestions that contributed to making this special occasion reflect the personalities of the bride and groom and our families.

Can't Recommend Enough!

Kelly was the first vendor we booked and was absolutely the best! We rescheduled our wedding three times due to COVID and Kelly was always so supportive, flexible, organized, the list goes on. She became more than a planner, I see her as a lifelong family friend now! My mom and I are very detail oriented and opinionated and Kelly did the perfect job of allowing me to make my own decisions but also stepping in with her guidance and expertise. She was the perfect balance between my mom and I. She was always on our side throughout the whole process. I could not be more thankful for having Kelly and could not recommend her more!

The Best Decision!

I cannot recommend Kelly and her team enough! She will keep you organized throughout the planning process and is always quick to respond to all emails. She kept our vendors informed leading up to the big day and eliminated any stress that I had! Our wedding day was flawless thanks to Kelly!!

Professional, Knowledgable, Organized, Helpful and Kind!

Kelly was instrumental in helping plan our daughter's wedding details. She kept us moving on each item in a timely way. She made sure nothing was overlooked. She was very supportive on a personal level and provided confidence that everything would go smoothly on the big day. Unfortunately we had to postpone due to Covid and Kelly was already booked for the new date. We will miss her, but truly appreciate everything she has already set up for us!

We are so lucky to have Kelly in our lives!

We are so lucky to have had Kelly in our lives for the past year and a half! We wanted a wedding planner and coordinator who was familiar with our venue. We asked our venue if they recommended anyone in particular and Kelly came highly recommended. When my husband and I first met Kelly, she was very kind, personable, knowledge, and willing to listen to our vision. My husband and I are the first born and so our families were unfamiliar with wedding planning. Additionally, we are both not from Atlanta and none of our friends or family members have gotten married in Atlanta, so we wanted someone who was experienced with Atlanta weddings. Additionally, our families do not live in the area. Kelly was the perfect match.
We had spoken to other wedding planners who made different rules about what they can and cannot assist with. What we liked about Kelly is her flexibility. We started with a certain amount of hours and built our way up once COVID hit ☺ Kelly was willing to assist us with things that are not so common such as our rehearsal dinner, farewell brunch, favors, etc. Kelly was able to be flexible and help us according to what we needed. There were some things my husband and I were comfortable doing ourselves and some vendors we found ourselves, and other things that I needed more assistance with. Kelly was happy to attend meetings with me, make phone calls, and reach out to her network. Kelly was able to speak from her experience and give great guidance based on her experiences. The planning details she sent out included checklists, recommended vendors, inventory items, and other things to think about. It was so organized and made us feel like all of the wedding planning was under control.
When there were things Kelly may not have known, she was happy to take her time to investigate more and reach out to her network to make sure we were happy. When COVID hit, Kelly was nothing but calm and flexible to helping us postpone our wedding.
Our rehearsal went so smoothly. Most people in the wedding party have not been in weddings before and she answered all questions and gave clear directions. On wedding day, she made sure everything went so smoothly. Her assistant Rebecca was incredible as well. There were some hiccups on wedding day, our getaway car cancelled the day before, and Kelly handled it and found us another solution immediately. A clasp on my dress fell apart 30 minutes before the ceremony begun and Kelly and my mom worked together to fix it. I knew there would be hiccups on wedding day and I knew Kelly would come to the rescue!
Overall, Kelly was personable, kind, organized, focused, and worked with all vendors and guests professionally. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner and coordinator! Thank you!

Kelly is incredible!

If you're searching for a wedding planner that is highly organized, easy to communicate with, has a ton of experience, and who will ensure your day is stressfree and beautiful, stop searching and hire Kelly! As someone with a type-A personality, I knew how I wanted our wedding to look. Kelly seamlessly took that vision and executed it flawlessly. Kelly has impeccable taste and I trusted her completely to make decisions on my behalf. When we had a vendor issue day of, I wasn't even made aware of this situation. Kelly handled it with grace and made certain what was initially agreed upon was delivered. She truly made our wedding day more special by taking care of all the details and making sure we were having the time of our lives.

Hands on Month-of and Day-of Coordination with Low Stress (even during COVID!)

Kelly and her team at Golden Pineapple Weddings were absolutely wonderful. I booked Kelly ~8 months before our wedding in August 2020. Her prices are very reasonable and she provides a detailed menu of the services offered. I needed a Day-Of Coordinator because my venue did not offer one. I wasn't looking for Month-of Coordination, but ended up using those services as well which proved to be super helpful with COVID planning. In the months leading up to our wedding, Kelly went above & beyond by sharing her experiences with other bookings she had during COVID (any post-pones or cancellations for different guest counts), which helped us immensely. Kelly is extremely well-versed and well-connected in the Atlanta / Southeast wedding world and has a background in venue management & catering. Kelly answered all of my random texts & emails super quickly during the Month-of, covering everything from family dynamics to signage options. Kelly was invaluable during the Final Walkthrough - steering the meeting and asking all of the right questions to all of my vendors. On the Day-Of, Kelly & her team were efficient and quick at running the behind the scenes - almost like little wedding ninjas! Kelly & her team had to alter my wedding send-off props on the spot because the helium wasn't keeping the balloons up! Guests didn't know the difference, and honestly neither did I because I was busy having too much fun at my own wedding. Kelly & her team really take the stress off and let you live during the moment for your big day. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Golden Pineapple Weddings to anyone getting married or having a big party in their near future.

Flawless and fun!

Working with Kelly was nothing short of a perfect experience! With all that’s going on with covid right now, wedding planning is more challenging and stressful than usual but Kelly made this a seamless process with her support, expertise and great attitude. We highly recommend her to work on your big day in any capacity - having Kelly on the team will ensure it’s perfect and smooth!

Delightful

We chose Golden Pineapple’s day of package, and from our first phone conversation, a year in advance, until the decision to cancel just a few weeks before the big day due to Covid-19, Kelly was a godsend. She responded to our many texts and emails immediately and provided us with great advice and suggestions on every topic from invitations to china and linens to meal selections. Most importantly, Kelly guided us with grace and patience as we made the heart wrenching decision to forego the big venue event (220 people) and have a very small intimate ceremony (15 people) at home. Circumstances prevented the postponement of the big day so Kelly helped us work through scaling down every aspect of the day. I can’t sing her praises enough. Kelly was an absolute delight to work with every step of the way!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
