I hired Vida for events management about 6 months out from the big day and my only regret is that I wish I hired them for full planning. To set the scene: I was feeling very lost in the planning process because you just don’t know what you don’t know! Enter Risse and Vida Events. Risse was my wedding wing woman, hype girl, low-key therapist, sounding board and safe place for all the crazy ideas and stressful logistics that come with wedding planning. She went above and beyond to help me wrangle the ping-ponging thoughts and streamline the planning process.

During our planning sessions, Risse was always organized, kept the to-dos digestible and made planning fun. She went out of her way to help me brainstorm and execute any small or large ideas. Risse would always send texts/emails of encouragement, reminders, and follow-ups - the time and effort she put in to help a bride drowning in indecision and procrastination was lifesaving. She would help find solutions to any problems and no question was left unanswered (even when I was exhibiting unhinged behavior such as considering changing the color scheme a month out or deciding to order linens two weeks out – nightmare fuel, I know). She always met my stress with serene energy – her patience and kindness is unmatched.

Leading up to the wedding, Risse took charge of communications with vendors and any details, which was incredible because no one can prepare a bride for the final weeks before the wedding. On the day of, Risse made sure that I was drinking water, eating food, that I had everything I needed, and kept us on track with the timeline – all while talking to vendors, perfecting the ballroom, and helping turn the venue into the most romantic space I’ve ever seen! The entire wedding day was absolutely stunning. I know I must be leaving things out, but all in all, we couldn’t have asked for a lovelier person (and team) to be a part of the most important and beautiful moment of our lives! THANK YOU RISSE AND VIDA EVENTS. HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY!

Kylie was our Vida Events coordinator for our March 2025 wedding and we can not recommend her and her team enough! The minute she stepped in, she took all of the stress off of our shoulders and took over all of the communications with our other vendors. Not only was she amazing at what she does, but she was so nice and easy to work with. She made sure our vision was executed perfectly and she went above and beyond for us on our wedding day to make sure we had the best time. Highly recommend!!

Working with Vida Events was the best decision we could have ever made! We were lucky enough to have Kylie as our planner and she was truly a blessing. Kylie is organized, creative, gifted, and so much more. She made the whole wedding planning process a breeze and insanely fun! Working with Kylie truly felt like working with a close friend, which made wedding planning even more enjoyable. My husband and I constantly talk about how we could have never planned a wedding without her. She went above and beyond with every single aspect of planning. Kylie knows all things there are to know about weddings, there was no situation she could not handle. She truly knew our vision better than we did, and brought it to life with ease.

Her consistent communication and beautifully unique ideas made the wedding planning process an absolute breeze. The most important thing to us was being stress-free on our wedding day, and Kylie made that effortless. My husband and I truly had zero worries throughout the whole process, especially on the day of. Having a planner as detailed and skilled as Kylie allowed us to truly enjoy our day. She made our wedding day beyond special. She ensured we built in time on the day of for just my husband and I to soak everything in and truly put us first throughout everything.

Being stress free on your wedding day is one thing, but being stress free throughout the whole wedding planning process is another thing. The only reason we were both is because of Kylie. We could not thank her enough for everything she did for us!
