The Best in the Game!

Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and we have Quintessential Events to thank for that! Sarah and Brooke are leaders in their industry for so many reasons. Their focus on curating an experience that is special to you, your guests or wherever your priorities lie is second to none. Even when I struggled with voicing exactly what I wanted, they knew the right questions to ask to get every detail just right. Nothing they do is cookie cutter or copy and paste and can make any wild idea you have come to life. I knew I was in good hands based on their attention to detail, creating a stress-free planning experience and allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in our day. They are also just good people to their core - bringing humor, wit, kindness and trust to what could have been a stressful process. I could not begin to recommend them enough!!

Hiring this team is the best decision you'll make for your wedding

If you envision a wedding day that feels unique to you and your spouse, Sarah and Brooke are the planners who will make it happen! Their top priority is creating a great experience for you and your guests and they take the time to get to know you as individuals to help determine what that looks like. They are creative, have an incredible eye for detail, and work seamlessly with other vendors to make the process as stress-free as possible. Plus, they're insanely reliable, funny and kind people who you'll come out of this experience considering friends.

Sarah and Brooke helped transform my cloudy vision of a destination wedding into a visually stunning and expertly organized weekend that blew me and my guests away. I was able to be fully present with my husband, family and friends, and I credit that all to the complete trust I had in Quintessential Events. I rave about this team to anyone who will listen and if you hire them, I know you will too!

Quentisential Events is Essential

Quentisential Events was essential to pulling off our daughter’s dream wedding day.
Sarah and Brooke exhibited impeccable attention to detail. They kept us on top of the wedding checklist, communicated with and organized vendors, as well as orchestrated a stress free timeline. The only responsibility I had Wedding Weekend was to enjoy it. I am so grateful to have found and contracted Sarah and Brooke to walk through this special time with us. It is with highest regards, I recommend placing contracting Quentisential Events at the top of your wedding “To Do” list

Sarah and QE team was everything we needed and MORE!! They are professional, reliable, problem-solvers, creators, and most importantly they became our friends!! When the wedding day came, I could confidently say that I knew it would go off without a hitch because the QE team was so on top of everything!

Quintessential Events = Perfection!

Sarah & Brooke were great to work with! Everything on our special day was perfect, and they were really excellent at piecing together my random bits of a vision and making it one, coherent piece. We got married in a massive space at Arrowhead stadium, but they made it seem intimate yet still spacious. Additionally, I have a very chaotic work schedule, but they did a great job keeping me organized and on-track during the planning phase and hooked us up with A+ vendors. Added bonus - they're both super fun, too! With all the hours going into wedding planning, it's nice to have fun, chill people to do it with.

Amazing Experience

I knew from the very first call with Sarah and her team that she would be my wedding planner. I had a very vague idea of what I wanted and things that I liked or was interested in. Sarah turned my string of ideas into a beautiful and extremely tailored vision. We had the most epic, well planned and incredibly organized wedding weekend! Every detail was chosen with care and the knowledge her and her team brought to the table was second to none. The entire weekend went by so smoothly; I can’t express how grateful I am to have had such an amazing experience. 10/10 I would recommend Quintessential Events and I can’t wait to use them again for an anniversary party!

The best decision ever

Brooke and the rest of their team, made all of our wedding day dreams come to life! They helped us think of every single detail and produce a wedding more beautiful then we could have every imagined! Their experience with the industry truly showed when working with our budget and hiring other vendors! My parents and I could not have done everything without them! On the day of the wedding we were able to relax and enjoy the big day rather then worry about all the little details! Hiring Brooke and her team was truly the best decision we could have made with wedding planning!

Trustworthy and Professional

After interviewing a few Wedding Planners we decided to hire Sarah with Quintessential Events for our daughter's wedding. Best decision we made! Sarah responds promptly which was super important to us. With it being our first wedding to plan we relied heavily on Sarah for her expertise and vendor connections/recommendations. It became evident to us early on that Sarah has a great rapport with KC vendors in the wedding industry! Sarah's knowledge, organizational skills and professionalism made our daughter's wedding and reception stress-free for us. Our reception had many moving parts including a plated dinner for over 300 guests. As the MOB I was asked many times throughout the process including day of and during the reception if I was nervous and stressed. I can honestly say I answered No because I was so confident in Sarah and her team to pull off an extraordinary event. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy our daughter and son-in-laws beautiful day because we were in such good hands with Quintessential Events. I am a very detail orientated person which Sarah respected, and she exceeded our expectations. With such a large event I'm sure there were hiccups throughout the day but I was not aware as Sarah just handled it, leaving us to just enjoy the day and soak it all in. We cannot recommend QE enough if you are looking for an event planner who knows how to get the job done and make it look stress-free!

Best wedding planner in KC

Sarah, Brooke and the rest of the QE team made the wedding planning process smooth, easy and honestly SO fun. I cannot imagine doing any of the planning without them. My wedding day was flawless thanks to them! Not to mention, it was far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I wish I could take credit for some of it- but honestly, they did it all and wow, they outdid themselves. Thank you QE for throwing the biggest, baddest, most beautiful party of my life.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
