What is the story behind Keith Willard Events LLC?

Keith Willard Events is a South Florida wedding planning and event production company creating highly personalized weddings throughout Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Florida Keys, and beyond.

We believe the best weddings aren’t defined by how much you spend, but by how thoughtfully you spend it. Creativity has no cost, and some of the most memorable moments we create are the ones guests never expect.

Every wedding starts with getting to know the couple—their personalities, priorities, traditions, families, and what they want their guests to experience. From there, we combine creative design with detailed logistics to build a celebration that feels distinctly theirs. That might mean a handwritten note waiting beneath every guest’s napkin, personalized escort cards, an unexpected late-night experience, or simply finding a smarter way to use the budget where it will have the greatest impact.

With experience ranging from intimate celebrations to luxury resort weddings and large-scale events, Keith Willard Events offers Full Planning, Partial Planning, and Day of Plus coordination. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and practical. We do not accept vendor kickbacks, and negotiated savings and discounts are passed directly to our couples.

Most importantly, we want our couples to actually enjoy being engaged and be fully present on their wedding day. We handle the timelines, vendors, floor plans, logistics, backup plans, and countless details behind the scenes so they can concentrate on what the entire celebration is really about: getting married.

The best of the best

We worked with Keith to plan our February wedding at The Palms in Miami, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better partner. He made the whole process feel easy and fun, and he really understood us from the start. He came up with ideas that were so perfectly “us” — like the Bravo-style confessional video booth and the coconuts with our names on them. Those ended up being some of the biggest hits of the night.

Since we were planning everything from across the country, having someone we could fully trust meant everything. He handled all the vendor negotiations, and every single vendor he brought in was reliable, on time, and clearly loved working with him.

On the actual day, Keith was unbelievably organized. Everything ran smoothly, the flowers were beautiful, and we never had a moment of stress. We’re so grateful we got to work with him.

Indispensable wedding planner

Keith Willard is a true professional, and we could not recommend him more highly. He has all the connections, gets to know you as a couple, and will make your day truly magical. The best advice we have: just trust in Keith! We were nervous nellies throughout the process, but Keith was able to put us at ease and help us to relax and enjoy. Ultimately, our wedding exceeded our wildest dreams and so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We couldn't have done it without Keith. So grateful! :)

Simply the best!

Keith Willard and his extraordinary team at Keith Willard Events, particularly the incredible Brook, have left an indelible mark on our lives. Our wedding day, a day we had dreamed of for years, became nothing short of magical, and it was all thanks to their exceptional expertise, dedication, and unwavering support.

From the very first moment we met Keith, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true professional. His warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we knew we had found the perfect partner to bring our wedding vision to life. Keith's impeccable attention to detail and wealth of experience were apparent as he guided us through the planning process, making it feel effortless and enjoyable.

Brook, however, was the unsung hero of our wedding day. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything went off without a hitch. Her organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and calm demeanor were simply remarkable. We had complete confidence in her, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day without any concerns or worries. Brook, we cannot thank you enough for your dedication and for making our day absolutely perfect.

On our wedding day, every element was executed flawlessly. From the beautiful decorations to the seamless coordination of the ceremony and reception, it was as if Keith and his team had a magic wand, making our dreams come true. Our guests were in awe of the stunning arrangements and the impeccable timing of each moment. We were able to savor every precious second of our day because we knew Keith and Brook had it all under control.

What sets Keith Willard Events apart is not only their professionalism but also their genuine care for their clients. They took the time to understand our unique preferences and desires, ensuring that our wedding was a true reflection of our love story. It wasn't just an event for them; it was a labor of love.

We are forever grateful to Keith, Brook, and the entire team at Keith Willard Events for creating a day that exceeded our wildest dreams. Their passion, dedication, and commitment to perfection transformed our wedding into one of the most incredible days of our lives. It's a day we will cherish forever, and we owe it all to this remarkable team. If you're looking for the best in the business to make your wedding unforgettable, look no further than Keith Willard Events!!

Don't look for anyone else.

Keith is a master and makes throwing a party a breeze. We are from out of town and knew we were in great hands with him. Great resources, always available, fun to work with. Wish I had another party to throw just to work with him again.

Dreams Came True Because of Keith!!

It's been three months since our wedding and I'm still living in the clouds. When we were doing our research on possible wedding planners, we knew we wanted someone that would understand us as gay men--in fact we wanted to support someone from the LGBTQ community because we wanted to make sure that they had expert knowledge with respect to LGBTQ friendly vendors. Keith's name came up and when we met with him, we immediately knew that he was the person we wanted to hire, and we have no regrets of doing so. We originally had a location in mind and were working on securing that on our own, but when things didn't go as planned, Keith stepped in and helped us find a great location. One of our fears with planning a wedding in Florida and living in Charlotte was that we'd have a hard time making sure that all our dreams came to fruition. Keith seriously made sure that everything was taken care of. He was constantly available to chat, especially in times when we started stressing, he looked for the best deals but kept in mind the vibe we wanted to give at the wedding. He always had suggestion on vendors and had great relationships with them. I can not emphasis enough how thoughtful and caring Keith is!! One thing that I really loved about Keith was the fact that he allowed us to visualize everything we wanted and then made sure it actually happened. He took the stress out of planning...well there was still stress but that's because it's a wedding but he made sure to listen and ease the stress. On wedding day...he took charge. He was there and made sure that all the stress was on him and not on us nor our guests. He handled everything perfectly. Only thing I wish we had done differently, was getting a picture with him on our wedding day! Post wedding, we had some issues with the Ritz Carlton Bal Harbour not delivering the level of service that they're known for and also over charging us on our bill (their computer system was doing the math wrong, and it was Keith who figured that out), and Keith was there to help with the conversations and advocate on our behalf...even when his job as our wedding planner was over!! He is truly one of the best professionals out there and HIGHLY recommend him. If you're ever looking for a planner for any event make sure to reach out to him. You won't be let down!! Additionally, one thing that's also helpful is that he has an award winning show on Youtube with many of the topics that come up when wedding planning, so if you're ever wondering about something you can go listen to him and his guest speakers talk about these topics!! LOVE THIS MAN AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Wedding thanks to Keith

Keith was amazing from the start. He was recommended to us by two different people in the same day. He listened to our ideas and brought them to life. Invitations, venue, food, and entertainment were top tier. He also set us up with a great photographer, videographer and dj. Our friends still talk about how fun our wedding was to this day. He can plan any event but he is a god send for couples who want to plan an amazing wedding but may not have the time to dedicate to every detail. Leave it in Keith’s hands!

Top notch planner!

Keith was SO amazing!!! My family met him when he was working at the venue for my sister's wedding 10+ years ago; he stuck out so much then that we sought him out again for my wedding! He was truly instrumental in securing many of our vendors and ensuring no detail was missed. His vision really brought the ideas that I had for my wedding to life! It would not have been the same without Keith and his incredible team! He's the best!
