Simply the best!

Hiring Kimmi and Dragonfly Experiences was the single best decision we made for our wedding.

We hosted a ~150-person destination wedding in May 2025 at Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica, with four events across three days: a Welcome Party, a Pool Party, a Rehearsal Dinner, and our Wedding Day—with a 10-piece live band and DJ-led after party to close it out. We’re based in NYC and planned nearly everything virtually. Kimmi was instrumental in making the entire weekend feel intentional, beautiful, and completely seamless from afar.

She brought an extraordinary mix of vision, calm, creativity, and logistical mastery to the planning process. No detail was too small, no last-minute change too complicated. She turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something full of ease, joy, and heart.

Kimmi worked gracefully with both of our families, alleviating any tension or stress around logistics and decisions. She had a special ability to balance opinions, keep everyone feeling included, and make sure things moved forward smoothly. She also kept me honest about our budget—helping me prioritize, figure out where to cut, and still deliver a weekend that exceeded every expectation.

Each event had its own distinct feel—thanks to Kimmi:

The Welcome Party was warm and celebratory, even though we spent the least time planning it. Kimmi made quick, thoughtful calls on-site (like switching the wine to something I loved!) and set the tone for the weekend perfectly.

The Pool Party became a surprise favorite. Guests went wild for the Jamaican patties and KFC. Kimmi managed everything—cash orders, timing, pickup logistics—so we could simply enjoy.

The Rehearsal Dinner was a glowing all-white affair that felt elevated, intimate, and magical. From branded coconuts to twinkle-lit tablescapes under palm trees, it looked like a styled shoot but felt completely personal.

Our Wedding Day was a dream. Kimmi helped us upgrade to a 10-piece band that had everyone on the dance floor all night. She also found the DJ for our after party—and wow. He kept the energy high and effortlessly wove in our playlist. People are still talking about that dance floor.

From a last-minute tent pivot that turned out beautifully, to the fruit centerpieces and a perfectly timed post-ceremony song, Kimmi didn’t just execute—she elevated.

She also curated a phenomenal vendor team. Our beauty team (Sue and Cadey) made every bridesmaid look and feel like the best version of themselves. My mom felt more beautiful than she ever has. The food was outstanding—guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. And Kimmi kept everything moving without it ever feeling rigid or rushed.

What I appreciated most was Kimmi’s combination of heart and precision. She understood my vision, brought it to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and made the entire weekend feel joyful, grounded, and unforgettable. Every rave message I’ve received from guests includes some version of: “You had the best planner.”

If you're planning a destination wedding, you want Kimmi in your corner. She’ll think of what you didn’t, fix what you couldn’t, and make it all feel effortless.

I would work with her again in a heartbeat—and feel lucky to now call her a friend.

Our Experience with Kimmi was exceptional from the first meeting with her. Kimmi assisted in bringing our vision to life.

Before Deciding to go with Kimmi we met with many other Planners and ultimately decided to go with her due to her professionalism (I.E showing up to our meeting in a timely manner). That professionalism continued throughout the entirety of the planner process. Kimmi was responsive to emails and even though we were in two separate countries the communication was exceptional. All in all the entire experience was remarkable with Kimmi, we honestly don't have anything negative to say. Our Wedding was remarkable, our guests had a great time which is all we could have asked for. Thank you once again to Kimmi and Team. We will meet again in the future as we've recommended you to many others.

Blissful Garden Wedding

I was referred to Kimmi by one of my nearest and dearest friends, and from our very first meeting, we experienced what can only be described as a series of happy coincidences— it truly was serendipity. Every detail seemed to align effortlessly, from the vendors she recommended to a surprising personal connection we uncovered in our family histories. There are really only six degrees of separation in Jamaica.

To put things into perspective, I am a Type A person - who worries about everyone and everything. I also want to make everyone else happy. I knew planning a wedding could become overwhelming, especially with the absence of my Dad. But Kimmi immediately understood how to support me through the emotional ups and downs, giving us space to grieve, including navigating complex family dynamics. Her calm presence and expert guidance were exactly what I needed. I also learnt to let go a bit during this process.

On the big day, everything ran flawlessly. If anything went wrong, I never knew about it—because Kimmi and her team handled it gracefully. Even when my mom panicked because she couldn’t zip up the corset portion of my dress, Kimmi kept everyone calm and focused. She created a beautifully detailed timeline that brought the day together in a way I couldn’t have imagined on my own.

What I truly loved most is that Kimmi was literally there from start to finish. We were the last ones to leave after midnight, and she was right there with us, ensuring every moment was just right. Even down to recommending that we do a first look!

Thank you so much Kimmi and her incredible team at Dragonfly for creating a day that was intimate, beautiful, and full of lots of happy tears! It was everything I dreamed of!

The Wedding of our Dreams! No better planner!

We knew we wanted to work with Kimmi for our November wedding in Kingston. She planned another family member's wedding and we had the opportunity to witness firsthand her professionalism, her calm under pressure, and her reassuring nature. As a bride, I felt able to give Kimmi total control and confidence, she always prioritized my needs and wants, ensuring that I had the best possible day. She asked thoughtful questions and guided us through planning a big family wedding with ease and joy. No concern went unaddressed or questions unanswered. She went beyond being a planner, she was a true friend, a counselor, and an incredible professional! We would highly recommend working with Kimmi! We had a fantastic day and weekend, all thanks to her!

dream wedding!

Kimmi and her team were amazing to work with. Sydney was very organized and easy to communicate with. Kimmi was extremely responsive whenever we had any questions. They made a destination wedding seamless for us, from coordinating all the vendors, the schedule, the welcome bags. Kimmi used her expertise to guide us in the right direction for certain decisions and helped us stay within budget. Our wedding day ended up being so much better than we even imagined!

Destination wedding at Half Moon

Kimmi replaced our original wedding planner, three months before our wedding. Right away, she understood our vision and priorities with a great attention to details. In the end, she delivered above our expectations while being supportive and warm throughout the process. Kimmi and her team have great energy and are extremely professional. We highly recommend her.

Realizing a dream I didn't know I had!

Kimmi came highly recommended and let me say, hiring her was the best decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. I went into this planning experience with severe decision anxiety and Kimmi helped me conquer that every step of the way. Between weekly to-dos, all the Zoom calls, early morning texts on the subway, and what felt like hundreds of Google Docs, Kimmi worked tirelessly to keep me on track (which I did not make easy for her) and calm my anxieties. There was no question she couldn't answer, no vendor she wouldn't stand up to, no feat that was too big for our wedding fairy godmother. I once told her that it felt like I was her only bride, the amount of attention and care she gave to me during our 18 months of planning. Her attention to detail is superb and her heart has turned her from planner to friend. Friends and family who participated in the wedding as well as wedding guests were so impressed by how seamless everything went during our wedding weekend, and it is all thanks to Kimmi. Even during the weekend, she helped guests who wanted to go out off property and provided recommendations as well arranged transportation spontaneously. I was blown away by how willing she was to go above and beyond no matter the ask. I went from not even wanting a wedding to now texting Kimmi photos saying "let's do it again!". She truly is a gem of a human, a joy to work with, and will help you realize your wedding dreams!

My wedding weekend

Having Kimmi as my wedding planner was the best decisions I ever made! From the minute we decided to work with her she has been so outstandingly amazing! No matter the time of day, I knew I could always reach Kimmi if I needed her. From early on we had tackled majority of the big ticket items and I knew exactly what I wanted and did not want and communicated that to her, and the end result surpassed my expectations. Kimmi brought my vision to life, and although I was not an anxiety filled bride, Kimmi ensured never to let me know something was going wrong without having a solution to bring to the table as well. We would pick Kimmi over and over again if we had to. Thank you Kimmi for being an amazing wedding planner, a friend and now family as you will always be a part of our story. We love youuuu!

Dream Wedding Planner. There is simply no other option!

Where do I begin? If there's one perfect decision I made for my wedding it was having Kimmi as my wedding planner. Perfection, perfection, perfection. I had a 3 day Indian-Caribbean fusion, destination wedding! There was no better person to handle that than Kimmi, and she did it with so much love, patience, and professionalism. From the moment we met on our consultation call, to the hundreds of texts we sent to each other, to the calls with vendors, and to the actual wedding weekend I was always at ease because I knew Kimmi had everything handled! She is so knowledgeable of all things Jamaica, the best Vendors, and is truly able to execute your vision and wants without you even having to fully explain. One of the best things of having Kimmi as my planner and coming from another country was her relationships with all the vendors in Jamaica - anything I needed - she knew someone who could get it done! Every issue there was, she knew how to solve it, without even needing my input. On my wedding weekend, I was totally relaxed and I was able to fully enjoy all three days with my husband and our guests. Kimmi was not only a planner, she was my friend and by the end of the weekend, she was family! All my guests got to know her as well and we felt like we all knew her forever! We cannot stop talking about how great she was! Kimmi held my hand every step of the way and I really could not imagine doing it all without her. My husband and I truly owe the success of our wedding to her! I know that I have a lifelong friend in Kimmi. Every bride deserves a Kimmi for her wedding!!
