Perfect Execution

Kismet made my dream wedding a reality. Everything was absolutely perfect and more than we could have ever thought possible. We recieved so many compliments on the flow of the event, and Rosie structured the speeches, cake cutting and first dances in a way that provided for uninterrupted dancing afterwards. The wedding weekend could not have happened without Kismet, and we are truly, truly grateful. I honestly don’t know how people have weddings without a planner, let alone an amazing one like Rosie. My husband and I felt like we were able to attend our own party and celebrate with all of our guests. Rosie had everything covered and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you Kismet for making the best weekend of our lives possible!

Rosie is a dream!

Where to even begin with Rosie. Rosie is perfection. I got SO many compliments on our wedding, and so many of them were things like “Wow, that was the smoothest-run wedding I’ve ever been part of,” or, “That was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to,” or, simply “Your planner is amazing.”

One of the best decisions we made was hiring Rosie, because every other decision sort of cascaded off of that. She helped us choose our vendors, and made sure all the contracts were iron-clad so there were no surprises during the day. She brings a wealth of experience to help guide in the process, from helping us choose our tablescape and décor to helping make our blue-sky dreams (DIY photo booth! Bubble grand exit! Popcorn-wall escort cards!) a logistical reality. She was organized, so professional and positive, and honestly just a beyond-delightful woman to get to spend time with.

The day of the wedding, Rosie was a dream. As the bride and groom, we truly felt that the day went off without a hitch – which was corroborated by our guests (So. Many. Compliments). The flow of the day was perfectly smooth, and Rosie was helping with everything, from taking polaroids of our guests as they entered, to bustling my train, to making sure our table visits stayed on the timeline, to answering guest questions, to hunting down safety pins…. I don’t know how she was in so many places at once.

If you’re thinking of hiring Rosie, do it. She is an absolute pro and a dream to work with, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Rosie we love you!!!!

Best wedding planner ever

100/10 rating!!!! I cannot recommend Kismet Event Co enough!! I literally am so sad my wedding is over because that means no more wedding planning calls lol! I initially found Kismet through our approved vendor list from our venue. I reached out to a few of the wedding planners and Kelly from Kismet was the first to respond. The initial information she sent was concise, clear, and let me know right away the different service levels and the associated costs. We hopped on a quick introduction call and I was sold! From our first call, Kelly made me feel like I was going to be in the best hands for all of my wedding planning needs. Their extensive background in hospitality and planning made me feel at ease - I didn't take any other calls and hired Kismet right away. This was simply one of the best decisions of my whole wedding because my husband and I were beyond impressed with the Kismet team during months of planning, but more importantly on our wedding day. We had zero worries on the day thank you to the Kismet team who was working so hard to make everything perfect. If they had any issues behind the scenes, we had no idea!! :) We got so much amazing feedback from our guests of our beautiful and perfect the day was, and a very large part of that was all of the hard work from Kelly and team. It's worth noting that I am VERY type A and cared very much about all of the small details. I had 1000% trust in the Kismet team to make my vision come to life and they did that and more. I am so thankful to them because I was able to truly be present on the day and not worry about anything but enjoying every moment. Thank you so much, Kelly and the Kismet team.
