Frank Sent on 04/17/2024Kathleen started as our wedding coordinator and now is one of our dearest friends
Kathleen, was our wedding coordinator.
She went beyond her role and became one of our closest friends. She was incredibly attentive to details and professional, always there, she met innumerable times with us before the wedding to attend every detail and question we had. Handling tough moments with ease and fun. Her ability to make everything seem effortless in key times is truly remarkable!
Kathleen's dedication, resourcefulness, and humble professionalism made working with her a breeze. I would highly recommend her if you want extreme efficiency and unwavering support, especially on such a significant occasion as your wedding. Trusting her completely was a decision I would make again without hesitation.
Thank you, Kathleen, from the bottom of my heart, for creating unforgettable memories that are cherished in photos and videos by me, my family and guests.
Your exceptional skills and genuine care made our wedding day truly special!

Everything you need in a wedding planner and MORE
I cannot recommend Kathleen & Buckley Events enough. Kathleen was absolutely amazing for the 1.5 years leading up to the wedding and the reason why our day was so perfect. As a bride even with possible rain on our wedding day, I could not have been more calm because of my confidence in Kathleen! Kathleen and her assistant were the reason our day was so magical. Not only is her experience/knowledge of the industry beyond helpful, but she is so kind and genuinely cares about every part of your day. I cannot recommend her and Buckley Events enough! You will be in wonderful hands! -

Getting married during a pandemic was a decision my husband and I debated. When we decided to have a wedding but require masks we knew we would have an interesting time since our guests have divided views not he subject. We hired Kathleen to help us make the most of the day in spite of covid. She told us that we were the example and if we wore masks others would follow suit. We had a wonderful day even thought it was a little chilly. Kathleen handled shuffling display items around due to wind, and wrangled my all family and friend set-up / break down teams, and shifting our schedule when a snag made the food delayed. No one knew anything was wrong and the day went on peacefully. We wore our masks and so did the guests. We all had a wonderful time! I work in F&B so I was happy to have someone else at the helm and to take a breath and enjoy my day. Kathleen was perfect for me since I liked doing most of the planning and just need a good person to pass off to that day. -

Huck Sent on 01/05/2021Absolutely loved our perfect day because of Kathleen Buckley!
As my partner and I look back at the most epic day in our lives we realize that Buckley Events was more like insurance that everything would be perfect and it was. Throughout the process Kathleen consistently provided guidance that only someone who had extensive experience in weddings and events would know. In the age of Covid-19 and ever changing State rules and restrictions she was able to give recommendations as we pivoted to comply or risk the caterer, valet and entertainment canceling. Our number of guests needed to be reduced by half as the restrictions changed after the invitations had been sent months in advance. Her early recommendation was to have our wedding and reception at our estate in Virginia which ultimately allowed flexibility. Instead of canceling half of our guest list we hosted 2 weddings and 2 receptions at our home on the same day. Once we divided the guest list in half, sent new invitations electronically a timeline for the day needed to be executed as we could not go off schedule, not by even a little as there was 1 hour for the caterer to reset between our weddings. A dear friend married us on the day who became ordained just to officiate our wedding. Kathleen quietly researched the documentation and realized that there are 2 states in the US that do not allow this type of certification to perform a legal wedding and VA was one of them. Our dear friend married us on the day as we all smiled at one another but Kathleen had arranged another VA approved celebrant to come to our home the next day, it was seamless. There were so many touchpoints that have Kathleen’s mark, especially how we wanted to be photographed, her passion and understanding of photography helped position us and our sons for the most memorable shots.
After working with Kathleen for such a long time on this wedding we knew we could trust her as the day came. She asked us to relax, and enjoy our day, she would keep everything on track. We trusted her completely to pull of the impossible and she delivered beyond our imaginations. If you want to enjoy your wedding day, not have to worry about anything, protect your investment you need to hire Kathleen Buckley at Buckley Events! -

100% recommend!
Kathleen Buckley was an absolute delight to work with during the wedding planning process, the days leading up to it, and the day of. She is so warm and welcoming and I’m in no way exaggerating when I say our day wouldn’t have been possible without her. Literally, the first coordinator we worked with made me want to cancel the entire event, get married in front of a judge (not that there is anything wrong with that, in any way) and call it a day. Six months before our wedding we decided we weren’t a good fit and broke it off to plan for ourselves. Kathleen was highly recommended to us by the owner of the restaurant we had our rehearsal dinner and I couldn’t be more grateful we were connected to her. She turned our dreams into a reality. My husband had a little too much fun the night before and overheated and was touch and go for a while and Kathleen literally talked me off the ledge haha she has a heart of gold and I’m so happy she was a part of our day. Couldn’t recommend her enough 💜 -

Kathleen goes to any length for your happiness!
All I can say is wow! Kathleen is so wonderful to work with and super supportive and encouraging. We were hesitant to hire a wedding planner due to the intimate nature of our wedding, but her attention to detail and expertise quickly came in handy. Without her I know for a fact our day would not have been as special. We got married on the beach in 2019 in the middle of one of the largest anticipated rain storms in December's history, and Kathleen made sure everything was perfect. She made sure we had a plan B, but ultimately allowed us to make the decision and made sure it was perfect despite the circumstances. I am eternally grateful to Kathleen and she will always be my recommendation when asked if I have a wedding planner contact. If you don't consider her for your special event, you are missing out! -

An expert in her field!
When we were told we needed a wedding planner by our venue, I wasn’t thrilled as I figured I would be doing most of the planning and only wanted a day of coordinator. First off, I was naive to think I didn’t need a planner as there are so many details day of that you need someone to help.. and someone who knows what they’re doing, but secondly Kathleen truly goes above and beyond. Even though we hired her for day of, she was there with us every step of the way. She reviewed all of our contracts and picked up on language and clauses that I would have never second guessed- making sure we clarify to avoid issues later on. She was beyond thorough, detail oriented and an absolute pleasure to work with. By nature, I tend to worry and let stress get the best of me, but Kathleen never made me feel like any of my questions or contacting her were a bother. I remember after our first conversation thinking, ok I’m in great hands, and we were. She is an expert in her field and genuinely loves what she does. Quite honestly, she did not need to even be in contact with us until the day of as that is what we paid for, but she had multiple phone conversations when things went wrong, she finalized pick up and details with every single vendor, she met us to go over every detail we wanted the days before. I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen. Any couple that has the pleasure of working with her is truly lucky and she will minimize the stress as much as she can, as we all know how stressful this time can be! Happy to say our wedding was perfect and I attribute that mostly to her organization and amazing work ethic! Absolutely love her! -

Marinela Sent on 10/30/2018Best Day of Coordinator!
We can't say enough great things about Kathleen. We did all of our own wedding planning, catering and bar service, so when it came down to how all the logistics and day of timeline would go, we were a little stressed. We hired Kathleen to take care of all of this for us and because of her expertise, knowledge and experience, she exceeded our expectations. She was able to make great suggestions on layout, logistics, procession, take down, etc that we would otherwise not know how to coordinate. She even met with us before the wedding to pick up all our decorations and go over the details one last time. She made herself available via phone and email for any little or big questions we had. During the wedding, the disposable plates/silverware were accidentally left behind by one of the servers so Kathleen immediately sent someone to the store to grab what we needed. I hadn't planned for enough chairs for the outdoor seating and she caught that right away the day of and called our Rental company and they brought the chairs right over. Because of her many years of experience in Charleston, she has all the right relationships with vendors! And the best part of it all is that we never knew any of these small hiccups were happening as she and her assistant Kim took care of them and still had big smiles on their faces still proceeded in enjoying our big day! I recommend Buckley Events for anyone who wants a professional, fun and laidback planner/coordinator - guarantee you will be stress free! We will definitely keep in touch with Kathleen. -
Debbie Sent on 05/14/2018Perfection, professional, and fabulous don’t begin to describe our experience with Kathleen as our Day of Coordinator! She even took photos that no one else captured! No bumps, hiccups or panicked moments and it was a very large my day. I was the Momzilla and Kathleen was the very best and kept us all on point for the perfect dream wedding for my daughter. I was thrilled, especially since she stepped up 6 days from the wedding to bring it all together for us. Kathleen will make your dream come true, I promise. Thank you for making Staci and Morgan’s day the best day ever!!

Stephanie Sent on 10/28/2012My husband and I had our wedding on May 26, 2012 in Charleston, SC. We are military and were planning the wedding from a city two hours away from Charleston. Planning a destination wedding is not always easy. Kathleen Buckley of Beckley Events took care of everything for us. I met with her only once before the wedding and we discussed all the aspects of what the perfect wedding meant for me. We had a aquatic themed wedding at the SC Aquarium. Kathleen was very familiar with the venue and helped me with everything from the caterer to the floor plan.
I didn't know a florist, a caterer or a DJ in the area. I mentioned that to Kathleen and later that day she had contacted all three for me and I had price quotes within a week.
The day of the wedding I didn't have to think about anything other than marrying my amazing fiance. Kathleen took care of everything. I'm sure there were a few "glitches" along the way, but in all honesty I didn't know of a single one. But that's the reason I hired her, and she fulfilled my expectations greater than I had ever imagined!
Buckley Events is very reasonably priced. I would suggest to any bride that hiring a wedding planner (even if it's only a day-of wedding planner, which is very reasonably priced and Buckely Events offers this service too!) is one of the most important aspects of your wedding day. Having Kathleen Buckley of Buckley Events allowed me to just show up to my wedding and truly ENJOY. I would never have done it any different.
