Kelly is incredible

Kelly did our full wedding planning for our Williamsburg wedding in October. She was absolutely amazing, took care of all our details, gave incredible recommendations for all of our vendors (we had to bring in everything to our venue) and coordinated everything. On the day of - myself (the bride) and my family just got to enjoy the day, and all the beautiful details that Kelly took care of. She has an incredible team, and she’s very organized, and gets stuff done! I’ve told my whole family that I literally wouldn’t have known where to start without her. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner - do it. If you’re thinking about hiring Kelly - DEFINITELY do it!

The Perfect Planner for the Perfect Wedding

Kelly was the most amazing planner we could have hoped for, for our wedding. We clicked with Kelly immediately on the phone before we even met. She was excited about our vision for our ceremony and reception. Her recommended vendor contacts for our event were all experienced, professional, and reliable. I loved having Kelly with me while I attended dress fittings, during our cake tastings, and meeting with the florist. Kelly was on top of every detail. We were particular about how we wanted the reception room to look, and Kelly ensured that the florist, lighting, DJ, equipment rental, and catering teams made our vision a reality. The decorations and flowers and lighting at the venue were breathtaking. On our wedding day, it was wonderful not having to worry about anything, knowing that Kelly was on top of the timeline that she created and distributed to the vendors. She made sure we were where we were supposed to be throughout the day. Kelly added many special touches to surprise us, and we loved all of it. We felt she truly cared about us and making our wedding a day to remember. You will not be disappointed having this wonderful planner make your wedding dreams come true.

So helpful throughout our wedding process

Kelly went above and beyond for us during our wedding planning process. She helped us with every last detail and made everything so much easier to handle. I know people are partial to their own weddings, but our wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to and Kelly is the reason for it! Everything was perfect from the actual ceremony to the dinner tables to the timeline. Kelly made sure that each vendor had their own copy of our timeline to make sure that every moment was perfect and captured. Also, she has the best contacts in the industry so your planning process will be so much easier. If you want a seamless and perfect wedding day, I highly recommend hiring Kelly to help you-you will not regret it!

Kelly Rocks!

We had no idea what we were getting into when it came to planning our wedding. We didn't know where to start. Kelly made the process so simple and easy. She kept us organized and recommended amazing vendors. She sat in on meetings and asked questions that we would never to think to ask. Day of was seemless. She wrote a timeline so that everyone knew where they needed to be at what time and if there were any issues we never knew because it was handled. We were able to enjoy our day without any stress. The ballroom she set up was beautiful and we received a ton of compliments.

Call Kelly!! She has decades of experience and it shows.

Kelly knows the Hampton area!

We hired Kelly back in 2018 to help us plan our wedding. Through COVID, bad weather, vendors canceling last minute, Kelly helped so much. Her expertise and experience around the Hampton/Williamsburg area really adds to her value. She really knows her stuff!

Leave everything to Kelly!

Kelly was fantastic in helping to make our day go so smoothly! She is a headstrong, go-getter who will not let anything go wrong on your day. She was great to have at all of the planning meetings with different vendors because she knew what was right, what was wrong, and she spoke her mind to get things done ;) She had great suggestions and all the vendors worked so well with her, that everything came together so well. Thank you Kelly!

Kelly was amazing! My husband and I were married this past November and we used Kelly to plan our entire wedding! As a past venue coordinator, I worked with Kelly before and knew she would be great to help me with my wedding. Although I had helped in planning many weddings, I was completely lost in planning my own. Kelly jumped right in and handled everything!! She came up with the design, contacted the vendors, and helped to turn our dream wedding into a reality! She really went above and beyond. Kelly was so helpful whenever I would call or text her with a question and would also respond quickly to any questions we had. She was always so friendly anytime we had a question or concern in regards to the wedding. We both loved working with her! On the day of the wedding, Kelly and her assistant, Debbie were on top of everything and the night ran so smoothly! Dan and I were able to just enjoy our time with family and friends as we knew everything was taken care of! I can't recommend her enough !

If you are looking for a 5 star wedding planner you don't need to go any further than Kelly Cornel.
She is the best as they come. Amazing is one word I have used over and over again to describe Kelly. I can speak from experience as I used Kelly for my daughters wedding and then a year later for mine. Both of us got the weddings of our dreams. The guests were awe struck at all the amazing detail. She also has the dream team of vendors!

Kelly was amazing! I live out of town and she was always available to meet with me when I was in town to do some wedding planning. Kelly knows so many people in the industry and really helped with every aspect of the wedding since I had no clue where to start. Kelly and her assistant were awesome on the day of the wedding to help with preparations and making sure everything went perfectly. I would recommend Kelly to any of my future bride and groom friends and I'm so glad I had Kelly to help with our special day!
