    World's Best Wedding Planner and Florist

    10/10 - Kelsey is the entire reason our wedding was so beautiful and enjoyable. She was both our wedding planner and our florist. She is patient, kind, reliable and organized. The thing that made me choose her initially was her kind and calm demeanor. She wants you to have your perfect day, but knows that can only happen with realistic expectations and action. Kelsey is so level-headed and organized, we never had to worry if everything would come together. One of our vendors was very difficult to work with but since it was what we wanted, Kelsey made it happen for us. If you're not looking for a planner (I would urge you to re-consider ;)) but need a florist, she was amazing at that too. All of our florals were beautiful and we got so many compliments from guests. Our photographer, caterer, HMU and venue reps also all commented on how wonderful Kelsey is to work with as a professional. If you want a beautiful, peaceful wedding + planning process, Kelsey Gray Events is the planner/florist you've been looking for!

    Kelsey Gray Events's reply:

    Madison, thank you so much for these kind words. You and your family were just the sweetest people I've ever met. It was such a pleasure to work with you all over the past year. Thanks for sharing the pretty photos!

    We'd pick Kelsey every time! 😍

    When we chose Kelsey as our partial wedding planner, I (the bride) was in the process of relocating from Memphis to Middle Tennessee. At that point, I was looking for a new house to live in and new job. As you can imagine, planning a wedding on top became quite stressful. The only thing we had done at this point was our venue, caterer, and photographer and were left to do with the many details that are involved when planning a 150 person wedding. After we began working with Kelsey, we quickly saw that we made the right choice. Kelsey is organized, detail oriented, and reliable. Most importantly in my opinion, Kelsey excels in communication with her clients as well as bridging conversations with other vendors. We trusted Kelsey and valued her opinions with all things Wedding. I often felt overwhelmed with the choices and decisions that went along with planning but having Kelsey on our team felt like a weight off my shoulders. She helped us stay on track and realistic with our budget and even saved us money in some instances! For example, our venue allowed tent sharing between clients. When the couple whose wedding was the day after ours expressed interest, Kelsey took initiative in getting the tent share agreement started then done (which involved collaboration between us, the other couple, our venue manager, and tent vendor) and saved us quite a bit of our budget. The day of the wedding, I was blown away by how well Kelsey integrated all of my preferences and choices with her design expertise. On top of being our awesome wedding planner, Kelsey was our florist too! Flowers were not at the top of our priority list as far as budget allocation went but still, Kelsey created beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres and floral arrangements for our altar and guest tables. After the wedding, I kept my bouquet in a vase at home and it continued to be beautiful for almost two weeks! I highly recommend Kelsey as an event planner. We have greatly appreciated her hard work and patience with us as we muddled through this process. The only thing I would have done differently was have her on with us from the very beginning!

    Wow, thank you for sharing all of those photos. Your colors worked so well together. It was the perfect fall wedding without being a copy of every other fall wedding! Those satin linens and amber glasses are just gorgeous!

    Amazing Wedding Planner and Florist!

    Kelsey made our day go by so easy!! I felt so relaxed and knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing with her there - and what more could you want on your wedding day! Our perfect day wouldn’t have been nearly what it was if not for her. We are so grateful to have found her! Also recommend her as your florist! My flowers were beautiful and received so many compliments! She’s a wonderful person and wonderful planner. I’ve attached some pictures of our flowers!

    Kelsey Gray Events's reply:

    Wow, those photos are so beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest. Thanks for leaving a review, Lexi. You're the best!

    Exceeded all expectations!!!

    Kelsey was wonderful to work with and I was absolutely blown away with my floral. She exceeded my expectations! Kelsey had time for all of my questions and concerns and really eased my angst with her responsiveness and back up plans during strange times. I got married in November, but always imagined a spring wedding so Kelsey collaborated a few ideas with me and everything turned out beautiful. She is not overpriced and was in a very reasonable range and worked within budget.

    Check out my dreamy fall bouquet 😍

    Best wedding planner ever!

    Kelsey is the best wedding planner ever and we could not recommend her enough! She is thoughtful, organized, and knowledgable. She made our vision come to life and the wedding day was completely seamless. In addition, we hired her as our florist and she knocked that out of the park as well. -- L&M

    Beautiful 😍

    Flowers were gorgeous. They were able to stay within my budget but still complete my vision

    Kelsey Gray Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Chinara! It was so lovely to work with you on your wedding. You chose a beautiful venue, and your family and friends were so sweet.

    Stunning and Seamless Downtown Wedding

    Kelsey was our coordinator, designer, and florist, and I almost wish I had hired her for more. I'm not a great planner, and my husband and I have very busy jobs. She was so patient and helpful throughout the original planning and our postponement, she even sent us a care package on our original date. I'm in near tears just remembering how beautiful everything was, even on Polaroids.
    Another thing we LOVED is her focus on sustainability and creating less waste, which is who we are as a couple. She did however offer to use the flower blocks, but emphasized how amazing it could be without. She also donated our flowers after!
    From the original communication and planning, to design and floral work, to the seamlessness of our day, Kelsey was one of the best choices we made. She was willing to try something new and truly listened to everything we wanted, and it was a scatter brained nearly 2 years!
    We love you, Kelsey! I'll send pictures when we get them!

    Beyond beautiful flowers!!!

    First of all, Kelsey is the sweetest ever!! I hired her before the holidays and she sent my husband and I a BEAUTIFUL card to wish us a happy holidays and to get us excited about our upcoming wedding. It's the little things that really make a difference!! Kelsey went above and beyond with our flowers. I cried when I saw them! Literally cried because I love them so much. They were everything I could have hoped for and more. I had sent Kelsey a picture of what we wanted and she took it and made it 10 times better. On our wedding day, Kelsey arranged all our center pieces and alter arrangements. I didn't have to worry at all that I would have to set up before the ceremony. Kelsey was amazing to work with, and I hope you hire her!!
    *Once I get my pictures back, I will update this post with a picture!

    Kelsey Gray Events's reply:

    Rachel, you are too kind. I can't believe that I missed your reaction to the flowers, but I'm SO glad to hear that you were pleased with them. I definitely want to see pictures when you get them back!

    The best person for your event!!

    I have to tell you Kelsey is AMAZING! She took over from a not so fun experience with another planner and never missed a beat! She always responded promptly, gave us options and made me feel so understood and important. She really impressed me and my mom (which is hard to do) and on top of all that she’s a Florist too!! I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey!!

    Kelsey Gray Events's reply:

    Ginny, thank you so much for the kind review and for sharing that picture! It was so much fun to work with you!.

    We weren't sure if we wanted a wedding planner but I'm so glad we hired Kelsey. It was great to have her as a wedding expert and to manage people we hired like the photographer and getting our officiant to sign our marriage license, we are so incredibly glad we hired Kelsey, she didn't try to upsell us on her full package because we didn't need it, she also was helpful with designing and offering flower packages even though we went with someone else.

    Kelsey is so talented with her floral designs! All I had to do was tell her what color scheme we were planning on using, and she gave me a variety of options and just made an absolutely stunning plan for our décor! I very highly recommend her!

    Choosing An Elegant Encounter was by far one of the best decisions that we made when it came to our wedding. Kelsey is extremely talented, accommodating, and professional! Not only did she do all of our florals, but also took care of our day of coordination. She communicated with me as much as I needed about ideas and planning, and she was so creative when it came to our decor and florals. She accomplished EXACTLY what we had in mind for our decor!
    The day of the wedding, there was a big mishap with our venue and their lack of staff and communication. Kelsey took charge and handled everything with grace and efficiency. She remained calm and kept the day flowing smoothly, even with vendors who ran late.
    I give my highest recommendation to An Elegant Encounter, and I would advise any bride to use them for your wedding!

    Great event coordinator!!

    Highly recommend!

    Kelsey's services, both month-of-planning and floral, were excellent! She made sure that every floral arrangement from the table centerpieces to the bouquets perfectly matched my creative vision. I also appreciated how she offered her expertise and knowledge about floral arrangements in a way that complemented what I wanted and respected my wedding vision. Financially, I appreciated how she was upfront and straight forward about the costs associated with her services. She respected my budget and never pressured me to spend more money. Her month-of-planning service worked perfectly for my situation considering that I was planning an out of town wedding. Kelsey came alongside of me in the planning process and provided helpful tips for getting everything done. She was always available to answer questions. Having her present at my wedding really put me at ease. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with everything! I highly recommend Kelsey for both her planning and floral services, they're top notch!

    Kelsey was my florist and my part-time wedding planner

    Kelsey is an amazing florist. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous and are exactly what I had in mind for our day.

    I hired Kelsey to be a part-time wedding planner as well because I found out she did that service. How convenient! Especially since I didn’t live in state, she did a wonderful job with all the planning aspects and we had 4 Skype meetings throughout the last several months before my wedding. I felt so much better knowing she had gone to my venue and looked into everything for me. She didn’t a wonderful job!
