Hiring Kelly was one of the best decisions we made when we began planning our wedding in New Orleans last year. She's the perfect combination of professional, organized, and VERY good vibes. She's also very well connected in the wedding industry in New Orleans and gave us great recommendations for vendors we were having trouble finding. Her greatest introduction was to our officient - a very cool guy who was also a member of the Krewe of the Rolling Elvi. Yes, friends, Kelly helped us fulfill our dream of being married by an Elvis and then second lining with 10 of his brethren who were riding bedazzled scooters down the streets of New Orleans. It was the literal best!

And when it came to the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Kelly was on top of every single detail. She kept our vendors organized, made sure we knew where to be when, and always had our best interests in mind. On the day of our wedding, she and her team executed every single detail flawlessly and made sure that my partner and I were fed, always had a drink (and then a water) in our hand, and could truly focus on our friends, family, and dancing!

Full transparency, I work in events and I had a very clear vision for what our wedding would be. But none of it would've been possible without the love and support (and hard work) of RaynerShine Events. Kelly is a gem and I would encourage anyone thinking of hiring her to just go ahead and do it! You won't regret it and she'll be the MVP of your wedding day.

I can't recommend Kelly & her team enough. I hired Kelly for my destination wedding in New Orleans, and from our first intro call I knew that she understood my vision for an untraditional wedding. Everything from the decor to her communication exceeded my expectations, all within my limited budget. I wouldn't have changed a thing about my wedding day!

Overall:
-Amazing communication and follow through. When the team said they were going to do something, they did it well and on time. I never had to chase anyone down for answers.
-I appreciated how transparent the team was about costs, plus the guidance on where I should spend the bulk of my budget to create the experience I wanted for my guests.
-Kelly has worked with just about every vendor in New Orleans and was able to steer me to the right people with the decor I was looking for.   
-The level of creativity and eye for design is 10/10. I am a creative person and didn't think I needed help in this department, but when it came to decor on a budget without breaking venue guidelines, this service was one I'm so so glad I paid for. 

1000/10 would recommend!!

I highly recommend working with Kelly!

As someone with professional event planning experience, I initially wasn’t sure if I needed a wedding coordinator. My main goal was to have someone handle vendor coordination on the wedding day so I could truly relax and enjoy the moment. However, Kelly went above and beyond my expectations!

We met a few months before the wedding, and she immediately brought up important details I hadn’t even considered. Her insight and expertise made the entire planning process smoother and more enjoyable.

Beyond my own experience, my matron of honor—who owns a restaurant and catered our wedding—was so impressed by Kelly that she hired her for her cousin’s wedding and other events.

Having been a bridesmaid in 10 weddings and a maid of honor three times, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming last-minute tasks and vendor coordination can be. Thanks to Kelly, my bridal party and I didn’t have to track a single detail. I don’t think I had to text or call a single vendor on my wedding day—Kelly was on top of everything!

She is professional, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. Hiring Kelly was, without a doubt, the best investment I made for our wedding!
