Experience with Monarch Events

I got married this past November, and Kourtney made my dream wedding a reality. She was with me every step of the way through the planning process. Her incredible patience, attention to detail, and warm personality was evident during our first meeting. This inspired confidence that she could deliver a great result while making the process enjoyable. She exceeded every expectation! What set Kourtney apart was the design process. There were things I wanted incorporated in the wedding vision, and Kourtney was able to put the vision together and present it to me as a design package. She has truly mastered the craft at taking a vision and inspiration and bringing it to life.

Throughout the entire process, Kourtney kept me organized, stress-free, and even delivered on wish list items that we were told couldn’t be done. Everything went perfectly during my wedding day. Kourtney made my vision a reality. She also took the initiative to solve problems on her own without needing to involve my family and I on my wedding day. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to work with Kourtney.

Made my wedding the best day ever!

SO many amazing things to say about Shelby! I hired her as my day of planner and even in the year leading up to the big day, she always answered any questions I had about vendor recs, details for the day, and overall eased some of my pre wedding anxiety! I was nervous because my venue was pretty disorganized and didn't seem to keep track of my planning so I really leaned on Shelby to make sure the day was what I planned. And boy did she deliver! Everything on the day was EXACTLY how I imagined it. Even to the smallest details like placement of flowers and chairs. During our reception, I had people coming up to me saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!! They said the timing of each event, the flow of the day, everything was incredible. I got so many compliments on all the details and I thank Shelby for how seamless everything felt and looked. Her overall aesthetic totally matched what I envisioned so the day was PERFECT!!

You cannot go wrong with Monarch Events!

Kourtney is amazing! She has made the wedding planning process seamless and fun! She is very responsive, and always conscious of budget. Throughout the whole planning process she stays in communication and also offers multiple options/ideas for an indecisive bride such as myself. All of Kourtney's help has allowed for stress-free wedding planning so I can actually enjoy the planning process! I can't recommend her highly enough.

Highly reccomend!

I used Monarch Events for wedding coordination and couldn't be happier with their work. Shelby kept everything organized and running like clockwork. They say something will always go awry on your wedding day, but if it, did I certainly didn't see it! Which is really all that matters :)
