An Absolute All-Star!
We hired Kelley to manage the last eight weeks leading up to our December 2023 wedding and we could not be more happy with our decision to do so. From our initial call with Kelley, she immediately put us at ease. My husband and I both have very busy work schedules, and were most concerned about our ability to manage all of the details that come up the last couple months of the wedding as well as the coordination the day of. Kelley took the reins and made the planning process for us fun, instead of stressful. Kelley is also a consummate professional, while also being extremely personable and easy to get along with. I spoke to a number of other planners before finding Kelley and she stood out immediately both from a subject matter expertise standpoint, but also how easy it was to interact with her. I received numerous comments from our wedding party, family and friends how impressed they were with her and how smoothly she kept the day running. A number of people told me before the wedding that something inevitably will go wrong the day of and to not let it stress me out; however, I can't think of a single thing that did not go as planned (and if it did I don't know about it) and that's all thanks to Kelley and her wonderful team. I would hire her 10x over - she really is the best. -

Absolutely perfect!
We had the most perfect day (even despite rain) and most of that can be attributed to Kelley and her team! Tara and Noelle were amazing ensuring that our decor vision, ceremony, and reception were executed perfectly! Our family and friends are raving about how seamless the day appeared! Kelley supported us through a pandemic postponement and made sure we finally got the wedding we wanted! Love this team and would recommend them again and again! -

Long story short, Kelley will make your wedding day run seamlessly, look gorgeous, and work tirelessly to ensure it’s everything you could dream of and more.
Okay, now for the long story. Back in August of 2019, while we were trying to narrow down our venue choice, one of the venues we loved let us know they didn’t have an in house coordinator. We could either hire their recommendation, or find one of our own. I decided to do some research and see what else was out there. In my search, I found A La Carte, and Kelley. We chatted a bit, then set up a call to discuss wedding ideas and plans. What followed was one of the most enjoyable and easy phone calls I’ve ever had. She understood my vision, was ready to answer questions, and even gave advice on vendors and venues we were thinking of. She got me excited about our wedding, and put me at ease. From that moment forward, I knew I wanted Kelley and her team to run our wedding day. What came next was countless emails, phone calls, changing plans, surprises, a whole pandemic, and one calm, cool, and collected lady. Despite a whole upheaval of the wedding industry, and a record year of weddings (including 3 on our weekend), Kelley was always available and on top of every detail. She was able to take my vague ideas, my clearer visions, and all my decor, and make it beautiful. She wrangled my bridal party with ease, knew when to step in or take a step back, worked incredibly well with all my vendors, and made the whole day flow effortlessly. I never felt stressed or concerned about time or details,and I would never have been as calm as I was without Kelley. Whether you want all hands on deck or just guidance for your big day, Kelley will work with you to find the right package, and then go above and beyond to make it amazing! -

There are so many wonderful things to say about Kelley and A La Carte Events! We felt instantly connected and comfortable with Kelley from our first phone call. She understood the vibe we were going for from the very beginning. We hired her in May 2020 for our September 2021 and truly enjoyed working with her over the months that came to make our vision a reality. Kelley was organized, calm, collected and enthusiastic at every step (even during what may have been the busiest wedding season EVER). She made great vendor recommendations (especially the band and photographer!) and always had great tricks of the trade and wedding etiquette advice for us when we weren't quite sure what we were doing . She and her team thought of everything on our big day - big and small. From capturing videos and photos of special moments, taking care of last minute requests, managing small hiccups seamlessly to overseeing our vendors she and her team did a fantastic job so we could just relax and enjoy the day. We also felt like we were working with a good friend. She is a sweet and genuine person who added real joy to our whole wedding planning experience. We loved working with her and you will too! -

10/10!! I loved working with Kelley at A La Carte for our wedding! I am a very organized, planning type bride that for a long time I felt I didn’t need a wedding planner but once I realized how much really went into weddings, I just knew I needed Kelley on my side! I chose a day-of-coordinating package which I am so happy I did. You can guarantee something will go wrong on your wedding day, it’s unfortunate but it’s bound to happen...first off, leading up to the wedding knowing I would have Kelley if anything went wrong saved me so much stress! Second off, when things did go wrong on my wedding day, Kelley was like my fairy god mother!!!! Kelley and her assistant Molly were so helpful, organized, there when I needed them, and more importantly so nice and kind! If you are hesitant on getting a wedding planner or a day of coordinator, I highly suggest you DO IT and you hire A LA CARTE!!!!!! -

Wedding Planner Review
Do yourself a favor and hire Kelley for all things wedding planning related! I started off wedding planning in 2018 and had no idea where to start. I very fortunately found Kelley when I was stumbling through wedding vendors and she was a life savor. She helped my now husband and I plan our engagement party, our initial wedding in March 2020 then all modified plans for our postponement date of Sept. 12. She's so creative, kind, and genuinely knows how to look out for you as a couple and the authenticity of the day you are working so hard to plan. It's easy to get lost in the world of wedding planning but having Kelley on your team will ensure the best possible outcome for you, your spouse, and your guests. I loved all of our planning meetings and I know Pete and I would not have had the best day that we had without Kelley. She is organized, provides spreadsheets, reaches out to vendors and sets up calls, invites, and all day of things that need to be done. Not to mention a " just in case kit" that will have all bases covered and some. -

Couldn't have done it without her.
On the verge of a wedding planning meltdown, I decided to reach out to some planners to see how hiring someone might help. I felt an instant connection with Kelley as soon as she responded to my plea. She was so responsive and enthusiastic about making our vision come to life. Throughout the process she was prompt, professional, and insanely organized. I felt so secure knowing she was handling the coordination with our vendors and kept us on track with our timelines. She was so generous with her time, advice, and sharing items from her own wedding and collection for our event.
Kelley and Meghan could not have done a more spectacular job during the wedding weekend. As the pictures are pouring in, we are blown away by their attention to detail to everything. Throughout the night, Kelley and Meghan always made sure we had what we needed, from water, to a plate of food, to putting out all the little fires that come up no matter how well we've planned. We received so many compliments on their hard work and kindness. Guests dubbed them "your secret service," for their stealth handling of everything. Kelley even gave us a crash course on cake cutting as we stood there stumped!
My husband and I reflect on our wedding day and cannot believe our good fortune to have been blessed to work with so many wonderful vendors. Kelley and Meghan are not only incredible at what they do, but they are both fantastic human beings. We were honored to have them celebrate our wedding with us. Do yourself a favor and hire A La Carte. -
