Keith Willard Events - Events Executed Exceptionally. It is in my nature to nurture. My brides mean everything to us. I find that our relationship extends to years after the wedding. Look at my social media and my reviews on the Knot. You will see that my clients are not just clients, they become my family.
What you get when you bring my company into your planning: you will get honest feedback, an advocate in all things wedding, a psychologist, a logistics expert, and endless ways to be creative with design and budget savings!
My clients also enjoy immediate and constant access to our staff including an almost round the clock texting (we must sleep at some point!)
When Keith Willard Events is involved in your wedding you can literally take a breath with knowledge that everything will be taken care of.
About me and the experience that I bring to planning your wedding (In a nutshell)
Previous Experience:
Executive Director of a 501(c)3 - Where every dollar and staying in budget are the rule.
Lead Planner for an international event planning company - I can figure out how to create amazing events long distance, finding the perfect vendors in any city or country.
Director of Catering for Ritz-Carlton - Insider knowledge about how hotels, and their contracts, work. Creation of menus, working with executive chefs, and insight into service needs for events.
Director of Catering for an independent Catering Company - Able to create an event literally anywhere. From rentals to food preparation.
Current President of the National Association of Catering and Events - connections to thousands of vendors so budget and taste can be matched quickly
There is literally no one in the industry that has the previous experience in all areas of event planning that I have… and I will probably be almost as excited, if not more, about your wedding! I love what I do!

Keith Willard - a rare find!
I can recommend with complete confidence Keith and his associates who've been an excellent design and décor resource for not one, but two of our annual gala fundraisers. Keith's complete knowledge of the event industry, coupled with years of experience and attention to detail were key to our success, and I have nothing but praise for his creativity and willingness to go the extra mile to dazzle our guests!

Thank you so much!! Your creativity is of another world - I'm just happy I was able to pull in the right vendors to complete the look. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of team!Gavin Chircut · Getting married on 04/12/2021
Essential and vital to making the vision we had of our wedding day a success. But most importantly, the reason we were able to enjoy every second.
We cannot thank Keith and his team enough for all they did to make the best day of our lives possible. Not only for what he did on the day of, but for all he did for us prior to the day as well. We hired him as our day of coordinator, but he went above and beyond; met with us several times weeks prior without hesitation, as well as communicated with us via, email, text and phone many times leading up to the day, putting us both at ease with his advice, and quick responses to any questions or requests we had. He has many connections with different vendors and has worked with so many venues that the staff at many of the hotels already know him and what to expect. Keith kept all the stresses of the day at bay, handled the unexpected surprises with ease, and in the end, things turned out much better than we imagined. Thank you, Keith and Brooke, for the peace of mind that allowed my wife and I to enjoy every moment of our wedding day.

Keith was absolutely amazing with my wedding! Planning it was a breeze and all of his vendors were perfect and within budget. The day of came with some venue challenges and weather challenges but he handled everything without me even knowing what was going on! The day ended up being absolutely amazing and I was completely stress free.
