The greatest day of my life thanks to you!!!!

Can we talk about what a miracle and complete guardian angels Samone, Ronni and her team are? When I first got engaged I immediately was overwhelmed with how much I potentially was going to have to plan. This was going to completely eat away at my time enjoying being engaged to my future husband! I knew I needed someone to take care of things for me. I had a vision. But I needed an artist to translate it. I knew I needed direction. But I needed a master navigator to lead the way. Kingdom Events became those things for me and my big day. I searched through so many other companies and teams and none of them had exactly what I needed. And if they did, I would never in a million years be able to afford it. When I first met with Samone , I immediately was drawn to her big welcoming smile! We met at a coffee shop and it felt very laid back, like I was meeting with a friend. She knew what questions to ask. She took tons of notes. She really was there to learn what it was that I wanted for my dream day. We legit knew right away we’d found our event planner!

From day one Samone and Kingdom Events we’re there for us. They fought for us. They reassured us. They were a million percent transparent about every detail with us. They took my vision and added their beautiful flair and spice and made our day surpass everything I’d ever envisioned it would be.

I knew I could rely on them and trust them with everything implicitly. They legit were all inclusive for a fraction of EVERY other planner I’d spoken to. On top of that, they were the only ones we had that gut feeling about too.

Best part of it all (besides having the most beautiful day of my life) was getting to know her and the team along the journey towards the wedding day.

These ladies are seriously so kind, caring, professional and strong! I wish I could get married to my husband all over just so I could go through this process again with Kingdom Events.

If you want a team of amazingly talented and kind women to help you have the most amazing big day of your life, pick Kingdom Events.

If you want to make friends you never knew you needed, friends who will take every last ounce of stress away so you can enjoy becoming a bride, pick Kingdom Events.

I cannot stress this enough: My wedding was just the best day of my life and it would not have been possible without Samone, Ronni and everyone else at Kingdom Events.

I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

From DIY to DOC with Ease

Initially, my husband and I planned most of our wedding. However, as the days got closer and with COVID seeming to go nowhere we looked into hiring a day of coordinator. I am so glad we did because there were trivial things being a first timer to this wedding thing we didn’t take into consideration. For example, how empty a table would look with just one table setting instead of 2 or how flowers can add up but there are some fakes that look close to real. When we brought on Samone from Kingdom Events it was such a relief because she considered all of the little things and did so graciously, effortlessly. We worked so great together it felt like I was talking to a family member when we spoke about updates. We were almost to the finishline until boom new COVID restrictions hit exactly 29 days before our wedding. Due to a bunch of factors we opted not to have the wedding but even then Samone didn’t leave our side. She helped us weigh the options to make sure we made the best decision for us. She worked with us to get back deposits or arrange alternative use of them. When our wedding day came I felt like I wasn’t missing out on my big day because she arranged for us to be able to still take pictures at the venue.

No stone left unturned

Where do I truly begin? Samone was such a pleasure to work with. Her ability to help with my indecisiveness while still keeping things organized was truly amazing. From our first interaction to the day of, her communication and pleasant demeanor made it feel like I was talking with a long time friend. She is professional, timely and knows her way around this planning world. Would I recommend her again, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

My love for organization and planning has always followed me and is the central part of everything I do. I am passionate and committed to helping people plan a stress-free wedding day. As a Wedding Planner, I take pride in creating unforgettable experiences. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing my services made my client's day better.

When I'm not Wedding Planning, you will find me planning social events and spending time on the non-profit that my husband and I run. When I'm not working, I usually relax with a glass of wine, watching Disney Movies.

I look forward to learning more about you and your vision of your special day.
