Sally Lindroos, our lead Event Planner and Coordinator, will be managing your wedding vendors, the event timeline, your bridal party organization, and organizing all
of the finite logistics associated with the wedding day. Her goal is to alleviate any stress associated with your planning, while working towards the flawless wedding day you’ve always dreamed of!
Sally is a graduate of UNC-Wilmington with almost 15 years of event industry experience. After interning in Wilmington & in Boston under incredible mentors, she started as an office manager for Kickstand Events in 2011. As the company grew, so did the opportunity for her to “officially” partner-up with Courtney! Through many completed checklists, vendor meetings, and perfect timeline “tweaks”, she prides herself on executing the wedding day with professionalism, positivity, and preparedness so that you can relax and enjoy the best day of your life!

Her favorite part of the wedding day is witnessing the excitement right before the ceremony starts, when everyone is lined-up before the processional begins- its a secret & special time shared between the closest of friends!

Courtney Stone, our lead Event and Floral Designer, will be creating your floor plan, preparing the rain plan, customizing your rental orders, and consulting with you on your overall design concept. She will also be your main contact regarding everything flowers! Whether it is tabletop décor, ceremony altar pieces, or interactive accessory tables—Courtney’s main focus is to ensure that the wedding day is a perfect reflection of your unique relationship!
Courtney has eleven years of event design experience and has called Wilmington home since graduating UNC-Wilmington in 2008. Courtney is the Original owner of Kickstand Events— and what started as an event rental concept at the very beginning (in 2010), led to her meeting and mingling with the amazing vendors throughout Wilmington— all encouraging her to dive into full design of weddings! Daydreaming unique linen choices, stunning lighting installations, and conceptualizing the final ‘sprinkling’ of florals are the details that you’ll find in your vision boards & event day dreams come true!
