Akeshi is amazing. We literally went to her and were like we want to get married in Greece, which we have never been, and need you to help up with everything. She went above and beyond and created an experience that we will remember forever.

SPECTACULAR!!! That is what I have to say about Akeshi and her team! From the beginning of our correspondence, Akeshi was very pleasant to work with. She was easy to talk to and was able to turn all of my ideas into words and ultimately a picture perfect event. We did our initial consultation at my venue, where Akeshi got a feel for the space and let me know what she could do for me, and what was needed. She was very flexible with our proposal as I requested many changes after the first one was sent in, still she stayed patient and very professional.

My Wedding day was MORE than I could have ever dreamed it would be. I didn't picture it in my head looking as beautiful as it looked, she really brought everything that we talked about to life, and went above and beyond to make sure that it was exactly how she said it would be (even with a few extra tweaks). I absolutely loved everything about the decor, it looked like something out of a movie. My wedding was at the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower in Chicago on the 99th floor, and everything was just breathtaking. My sweetheart table was a huge hit with my guests, everyone loved how she put it together. All in all, I would definitely recommend Akeshi to anyone planning a wedding, or any event that needs coordination and decoration for that matter, she really knows her stuff, and it's evident in her work that she really cares about the people that she works with, she was really involved in making sure my day looked amazing, my wedding would not have been the same without Kesh Events!!!

Akeshi was my planner for my September 28, 2013 wedding at The Murphy Chicago. Interestingly, I retained her company 6 weeks before my event once I realized that I could not do it ALL on my own. From our initial meeting and throughout the whole process Akeshi was professional, enthusiastic, and extremely creative. I walked into her office with good ideas, but she was able to take my ideas to the next level and made them GREAT. She communicated with all of my vendors and became the central point of contact, this allowed me to relax and enjoy the weeks leading up to the wedding. My wedding day was stunning and went on without a hitch. Overall, the work that her and her team performed exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend Kesh Events and wish I could do it again just to work with Akeshi and the Kesh team.
