Awesome work! Love them!

My wedding was on 11/9/2019. This wedding planning team was absolutely phenomenal! I want to give a huge thank you to Kia Matthews for doing such a great job on my big day! She was attentive and very detailed in everything that she does all while taking care of the bride! She made sure everything went as smooth as possible and kept everything on schedule!! I don’t know how she does it with all the chaos involve! She is truly amazing! I would recommend this company a million times to someone that’s how awesome they were!

Book. Them. NOW.

top what you’re doing. Stop looking or thinking if you even need a wedding planner. The answer is yes, you NEED KMT. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. KMT goes above and beyond and treated my special day like it was theirs. Detailed review below. We booked KMT immediately after meeting Kia for the first time. Originally planning to have an a la carte wedding at a large warehouse venue, we knew we needed the full service package. After 7 months (of a 2-year engagement) of preliminary planning, the venue ultimately told us that they couldn’t guarantee an exact date for us until “2 months out”. Navigating this tough time without KMT is unimaginable. We secured a new venue that was just what we were looking for within the next month. The next year and a half was nothing but smooth sailing thanks to KMT. Timelines, responsibilities, and expectations were extremely clear. We worked directly with Amanda and I can truly say as a detail-oriented, control preferred person - I trusted her to handle everything and didn’t have a single worry. Amanda was professional, calm, reassuring and handled EVERYTHING. Even going as far as sewing a small mishap in my dress moments before walking down the aisle. There are so many details and moments that I truly don’t know what I would have done if they weren’t on my team. If you want your wedding to be an easy enjoyable experience, exceed any and all of your expectations and meet two amazing , kick-ass women in the process - you’re wasting time than looking any further than KMT

Don't get married without them.

I would recommend KMT over and over again. They could not have been better and truly made my wedding day better than I could have imagined. They have such attention to detail, are the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet, and fixed any issues without me even knowing they occured. They thought of EVERYTHING, and made sure my wedding was perfect. Everyone was saying how amazing and kind they were from our guests, bridal party, families, and vendors. Cannot stress how integral they were to my wedding and wouldn't want to go through the day without them! Thank you Amanda and Kia - you are both wonderful and have the kindest, warmest, most fun personalities ever. I wish I could hang out with them all the time.

Life savers and sweetest people!

Amanda and Kia helped make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. I couldn't imagine them not being there and I'm so grateful for everything Amanda did along the way. They made sure everything was how we wanted and organized all day. They wrangled a wedding party of over 20 people and our crazy families. Not to mention Amanda and Kia are the sweetest and funniest people ever! I can't recommend KMT enough, thank you girls again! xoxo

The best decision we made!

Hiring KMT for month-of wedding coordination was the absolute best decision we could have made. I worked closely with Amanda for about 6 weeks prior to our wedding day, and she is 100% the reason that everything ran as smoothly as it did. She took over coordination with our vendors and created the most detailed timeline for our day that kept us all on track. I really appreciated how responsive she was through the whole process - we were planning a Philadelphia wedding from the west coast, and Amanda answered my random emails and texts day and night! While I'm sure there are many event planning groups that could handle all of the details, what really made KMT and Amanda in particular stand out was her genuine excitement and enthusiasm on our wedding day! She really loves what she does, and it showed in every perfectly executed moment of our wedding day. We are already missing her and want to go back and do it all again! We can't recommend Amanda and KMT highly enough!!

They are the nicest! And non-judgmental - the perfect combination for a wedding coordinator/planner!

Amanda and Kia are the nicest people you will meet! They are fantastic wedding planners/coordinators who can help with literally every detail of your event. They are completely non-judgmental too, whatever you want for your big day they will do their best to make it happen. I can't imagine having done our wedding without them, there are so many little details that you don't think about for the day of the wedding but that *someone* has to take care of. Packing up the gifts, taking the centerpieces or any other decorations, grabbing the guest book, etc. And those little things add up to way too much work/responsibility for the wedding party or family. Having a day-of coordinator at least is an essential now for most weddings and these are the people you want!

KMT is the best of the best! DREAM COM TRUE!

Where do I start – the ladies at KMT Event Group are truly heaven sent. Since the day that my husband and I met Kia, we knew we wanted to have her team apart of our big day! She never left our side and truly made us feel like our day was just as special to her. We hired the team for design services and day for coordination! Till this day I can truly say this was one of the best investments we made. Up until minutes before I walked the down aisle, I still had so much anxiety and worry about the day! I couldn’t get my veil on and I’m sure she could sense that I was a little frantic. She removed everyone from the limousine except me to “help” with my veil as she said but really spent that time casually talking to me. In that moment I didn’t get it, but I realized soon afterwards that it was her way of getting me to breathe in and take in such a beautiful moment. She reminded me how much my husband loved me and that this day was all about us. One of the best touching moments that I will never forget! When we walked into our reception venue, we were blown away by the amazing décor we provided and the add ons the KMT team includes from their inventory! She took our vision and ran with it! The entire day and night she ran around like a super woman with a smile on her face! This by far was the best day thanks to the KMT team!

Above and beyond

Like most brides who are reading this, I contemplated if day of coordination services were worth it, and I more than agree with all the superlatives of KMT's reviews. Kia and Amanda were LIFESAVERS and worth EVERY penny!! I hired them as day of coordinators (thinking their involvement was minimal) but they contacted EVERY vendor to confirm the schedule beforehand and that everyeone was on the same page. Our wedding was superhero themed, but the true unsung heroes of the night were these two ladies who went above and beyond to allow me to be fully present on the most magical night of my life. One example was that one of my bridesmaids was slightly uncomfortable with her false eyelash extensions falling off and Kia walked IN HEELS to CVS to get glue. At times I was slightly stressed about the timing of the wedding, Amanda would sense that slight sense of worry and would be at my side to reassure me that everything was completely taken care of and on schedule. Multiple times of the day they would gently nudge photographers, hair/makeup to stay on schedule, and would always advocate for the bride's opinion no matter how small the decision was (veil or no veil in a picture), etc. They last minute put my candles together and helped coordinate our dog to be in the pictures!! But what was the most impressive thing about Amanda and Kia was their beautiful souls and a genuine love of taking care of others. Their high energy and warmth in their personalties was infectious and it is truly rare to find people more dedicated to their job than this team of angels. Do yourself a solid and book this team, you won't regret it!!

Best Decision Ever

Calling KMT was the single best decision I made in the wedding planning process.
Knowing that I had Kia in my corner during planning and running the show day of alleviated more stress than I can put into words. She was an invaluable resource leading up to the wedding and an absolute angel day of. From the big things (making sure everyone stayed on schedule, set-up, etc.), to the smaller things (making sure we had a chance to eat and encouraging us to take a minute for ourselves), to the things we never could have anticipated (saving our guests from a crazy swarm of gnats), Kia's help allowed us to enjoy and be fully present for one of the biggest days of our lives.
At one point during our reception, my husband told me, "when you first told me that you wanted to hire someone to run the show day-of, i didn't get it. I DEFINITELY get it now. Kia is amazing!"
This was honestly an extremely hard review to write. I always like to be completely honest in reviews and address both positives AND negatives. There wasn't a single negative to working with Kia and the positives could go on for pages and pages. If I had to do this all over again, Kia would be my first phone call every. single. time.

The BEST decision was hiring KMT!

Words can not possibly explain how seamless Amanda and Kia made our wedding day. We hired KMT very last minute to be day of coordinators and I wish I had hired them sooner. These ladies are incredibly detailed and help In every single way possible. From the beginning they reached out and communicated to our vendors up until our wedding day to ensure timing and any other details or logistics were communicated as needed. When they arrived during bridal prep they took the reigns. Then Amanda went to our venue to make sure it was exactly how we pictured it while Kia stayed with us and our family and friends for photos at various locations. Anything, and I mean anything we needed those ladies were there to handle and did it with a smile and grace. Amanda and Kia were on top of every detail and made our wedding stress free and as perfect as could be. They were the icing on the cake. We have so much gratitude for KMT! Family and friends raved about how helpful they were and it was obvious by their constant movement around the venue and talking with vendors throughout the evening. Amanda brought our meals to our sweetheart table, Kia made sure speeches and cake cutting were on time and the list could go on and on about what these incredible ladies take on. Do not hesitate for one second to hire KMT. It was the best decision we made for our wedding day, hands down. Thank you so much Amanda and Kia!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
