Kandice is a goddess. We met her at my wife's wedding actually, where she was the planner! I was immediately drawn to her energy, and had to instagram follow her right after that wedding :) When my wife and I were engaged, we enlisted Kandice to help us Type B easy-going people to help us plan the date for a November wedding in Seattle. After the election though, Bess and I had a shift in priorities and wanted to move the date ahead by 6 months! We wanted a wedding that was still meaningful and pretty and queer and fun, but not as big of a production, and we had an option for people to donate to charities in lieu of gifts. Kandice was super on board and she happened to be free the weekend that we chose for our new date. We really put her to the test with that timeline! She found us the perfect outdoor venue for the ceremony at the Pacific Connections Garden at the Arboretum. She was the main point of contact for the food, the reception, the ceremony, Pauly D the speaker guy (yikes), our photographer Chelsea Terry (amazing) and every other detail you have to think about for weddings! Kandice got to know us so well through this process, and is an excellent listener and helped our vision become a reality. The wedding was a blast. I was obsessed with Kandice from the start and now I feel honored that we have developed a friendship. She has a heart of gold and sparkles, and she is a true champion. She works tirelessly and is such a great communicator. Every family is unique and has their own quirks, and she is super understanding and good with people. I loved every moment working with her! It was a true honor.

Can't say enough good things about Kandice. We used her for day-of coordination; she was a godsend on our wedding day (and prior to). Things WILL go wrong if you're DIYing it, even if you think you're a master planner. It was great to have someone to handle that stuff, so we could be as stress free as possible. Plus, she's friendly, really cool, incredibly responsive, and will go the extra mile(s) for you. If you're on the fence about needing services like these, I have to say, dollar for dollar, the value Kandice added to our day was 3,000% worth it. But really, I'm not even sure that's hyperbole.

If you want a wedding planner who really "gets it" and really makes an effort to listen to the things you want on your big day, Kandice is your woman! She's very detail oriented and will get in touch with anyone and everyone to make sure you get what you want. She connects to her clients, is hilarious and real, and her love for this profession really shines through. I would HIGHLY recommend Rose & Stone to help you plan your big day.
