Amazing Planner & Person! :)

If Disney is looking for their next Marvel superhero, Kelly has to make the short list! My now wife Rachel and I basked in the sunshine of our engagement for a little too long and found ourselves with a pretty bad sunburn. With our wedding date about four months out and a few venders booked, we found ourselves extremely stressed and ill prepared.
Kelly came recommended through my broader friendship circle. From the moment we first spoke on the phone together I felt extremely comfortable and at ease—it felt like talking to a friend (and part-time therapist). She took our half-baked wedding plan and turned it into what can only be described as a perfect day.

From the start, Kelly immediately began to plan the meticulous details of our day working to prioritize the aspects that were most meaningful and important to us. This is a quality that cannot be underestimated—I’ve heard countless stories from friends and family who had wedding planners where it was “their way or the highway”. It was a relief to know that we had someone helping us to achieve the image of the wedding we both wanted.
And while it is in her title, I’d be remiss to not say what a fantastic planner Kelly is! Not only in planning the wedding but planning frequent touch points with Rachel and I to ensure we were getting progress updates and making decisions to help Kelly do what she does best. Her communication was nothing short of fantastic and she was always working behind the scenes on our behalf, saving us the headache of being on countless email chains and phone calls.

Kelly has a wonderfully warm, kind personality that made our weekly talks fun and enjoyable while she helped iron out the inevitable stresses that arise throughout the planning process. I can only promise that if you higher Kelly, not only will you be thrilled with her as your planner, but like Rachel and I, you will be sad when the weekly check-ins with her are over.

Simply the best!

Where do I start…! From the moment I met Kelly, she radiated love for her job. From day one, Kelly cared about us as if she were planning a wedding for her own sister or brother. She is warm, kind, and clearly LOVES love. Not only is she a wonderful person to be around, but she is a phenomenal wedding planner. She is a wonderful communicator, and always made me feel at ease that everything was going to be ok (even when planning a wedding during COVID). Kelly’s love for her work was evident on our wedding day. Countless guests told me it was the best and most beautiful event they have ever and will ever attend. Every last detail was accounted for in a way that felt effortless (and believe me it took a LOT of work on her part!) I feel like I gained a forever friend in Kelly and recommend her with the highest regard.

Absolutely amazing!

We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Kelly as the planner for our September 2019 wedding! Putting together a wedding from 3,000 miles away was extremely daunting at first, but Kelly made the process as stress-free as it could have been. She put together an absolutely beautiful design plan with fun local and seasonal elements we never would have considered. Her communication with us and our vendors was flawless, and we are so thankful we worked with her.

It was such a complete and total pleasure to work with Kelly this summer! She did such a fantastic job and brought such a calm, steady and cheerful presence to the wedding. She was efficient and focused and on top of all the details. We're all still talking about what an amazing experience it was to work with Kelly and look forward to future events together!
