Would hire again and again!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and the entire KKWE team! Kelly is the real deal and will make all your wedding dreams come to life. We utilized the partial planning package as this fit perfectly with our wants and needs. From the get go, Kelly was incredibly patient in listening to our many different thoughts and ideas. She took our vision and helped us create a beautifully cohesive look for our wedding that was better than we could have dreamed of. Her timeline-based planning was crucial to keeping us on track throughout the entire wedding planning process as we always knew what was next on our agenda. As our wedding day approached, my husband and I couldn't believe how calm we felt but it was because Kelly was taking care of everything behind the scenes. Kelly worked diligently with our vendors to create the most perfect wedding day for us. On the day of our wedding, Kelly and her team made us feel so comfortable and helped us with everything and anything we needed. From keeping us on track with our timeline to helping my mom and bridesmaids figure out how to bustle my dress, Kelly was there every step of the way and we would not have known what to do without her. If you are looking for a wedding planner that will give you 110% and exceed your expectations, look no further than Kelly Kennedy.

Wedding of Our Dreams

We chose the Wedding Management package because we had figured out many of the big details, but we needed help bringing everything together. I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and her team! We started having virtual meetings about 6 weeks before the wedding and Kelly was always professional and prepared. The wedding timeline she created was an absolute lifesaver. Her team set up my decor day of and made sure everyone was where they should be when they were supposed to be. I can truly say I had a stress free wedding day. Thank you again for creating the wedding of our dreams!

Thank you, KKWE!

My husband and I had truly had the wedding of our dreams! We are very grateful to Kelly and her team for everything they did to make our wedding day so very special. We selected the full service package and are very happy that we did! We decided that the full service package was the best fit for us based on our busy schedules and the fact that we do not live near Sarasota. Kelly recommended amazing vendors. Kelly understood our vision and recommended vendors that were a perfect fit. I am so glad that we had Kelly there on the day of the wedding to monitor the set up process, coordinate with vendors, and to ensure that we were on time and following our schedule. Kelly and her team were a pleasure to work with and we are very appreciative of all of their hard work!
