The best wedding planner!

We had the pleasure of working with Kelly Kennedy Weddings and Events for our wedding in Sarasota at the Powel Crosley Estate, and it was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding process! We chose the Event Management package to provide flexibility with handling some of the planning ourselves but needed someone like Kelly to pull everything together seamlessly! From our very first video call, Kelly was incredibly organized and proactive. She kept us on track with regular emails and shared documents, making sure no detail was overlooked.

On the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Kelly and her team took care of everything, and it was all set up perfectly without us lifting a finger. Our wedding day went flawlessly, and we could truly relax and enjoy every moment thanks to Kelly. If you're looking for a wedding planner who is professional, attentive, and a joy to work with, we highly recommend Kelly Kennedy Weddings and Events!

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!
