A must hire!
Kelly is outstanding! I’ll echo other reviewers by saying that hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose the mid-package and were very happy with her professionalism, organization, and clear communication. We never felt limited, and she struck just the right balance between fulfilling our vision and giving honest, practical advice where needed. Kelly was extremely knowledgeable about our LA venue, knew the best vendors in the business, and was sensitive about our budget. On our wedding day, we didn’t have a single worry. She and her team executed everything perfectly – even with an especially hot, outdoor ceremony -- and didn’t bat an eye at last minute changes. Family members came up to us throughout the evening to tell us what a wonderful job they were doing. I can’t recommend Kelly enough. Thank you Demaray Events!Kelly is outstanding!

Kelly was a dream
Kelly was such a dream - we hired her for month of wedding planning and she took so much off our plates. I didn't have to worry if vendors would show up and all the details of their arrivals. She reviewed all the bids and made sure I wasn't missing anything, and gave great recommendations. Every time I mentioned to a vendor that I was working with Kelly, they breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear her reputation proceeded her.
Plus, her support on the day - she led the team with such a steady hand, everyone had good energy, and everything went perfectly. Could not have asked for more. Kelly and her team were amazing.Kelly was such a dream - we hired her for month of wedding planning and she took so much off our plates.

Helpful at every turn!
Kelly Demaray and her team are a dream to work with! So helpful, responsive and on top of every little detail. We worked specially with Rebecca and she was just amazing. They are cool, calm and collected and able to juggle tons of family dynamics and set up and event for success. They recommended other great vendors and every stop of the process made us feel supported and assured. They are worth every penny!! Couldn’t recommend more!Kelly Demaray and her team are a dream to work with! So helpful, responsive and on top of every little detail. We worked specially with Rebecca and she was just amazing.

Kelly for President!
Kelly is a total MVP. She was always on it, quick to reply to emails, an invaluable resource for everything from vendor suggestions/communications to planning, management and timeline. We had some mega venue issues day-of and she handled with calm, grace and a smile on her face to the extent that we didn't even know anything was awry until she filled us in post-wedding! She is a a pleasure to be around and a total professional. Wish we could have another wedding for her to help plan.Kelly is a total MVP.

Excellent service! Would highly recommend!
Kelly was an excellent planner! We used her for the month of/day of service and her prices were reasonable and competitive and we felt as though she went above and beyond our expectations! She was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries, attended our venue meetings, and provided a lot of care to us as we were putting all the puzzle pieces together for our wedding. We had a lot of moving parts for our wedding and she made sure that everything flowed and that communication was happening with our vendors and our ceremony participants. Prior to booking Kelly as our planner, we reached out to many planners and she was the best. I would highly recommend her services to all couples and will refer her to our friends and family. She ensured our day went off without a hitch, that we were taken care of and that all we needed to do was enjoy our wedding and not think about anything other than being with our friends and family.Kelly was an excellent planner!

Flawless Wedding Day
We had a dream wedding day -- everything was absolutely flawless and we could fully relax and enjoy the amazing event with our family and friends. Kelly also was a pro at helping us along the way and making us feel like the whole thing was in complete control (which it was).
Want a stress free and beautiful wedding day? Look no further and give Kelly a call.We had a dream wedding day -- everything was absolutely flawless and we could fully relax and enjoy the amazing event with our family and friends.

A must have!
Wow, I just can't thank Kelly and her team enough. People need to know about her and her team. We decided to hire Kelly because we were getting way too uncomfortable with the planning. I truly believe you go insane if you try to plan your own wedding, if you are reading this, hire KELLY!!! My wife and I swear this was one of the best decision we made in our lives. We hired her service as a "day of coordinator" but she starts to plan things with you a month in advance, she will contacted us lot earlier which made us feel safe. Very flexible, easy to get in touch with (WHICH IS HUGE), courteous and professional, and just a blast to work with. Kelly, if you are reading this, thank you so much! We wouldn't have survived without you!Wow, I just can't thank Kelly and her team enough. People need to know about her and her team.

Kelly Demaray is a Godsend. Period. Let me start off by saying I had never hired a coordinator prior to our wedding, so I had no idea what to expect. From the moment we met, Kelly made everything make sense. Along with most brides, during the initial stages of planning I was in a panic, because I literally had a million things to do. (Yes, literally not figuratively.) However, as soon as Kelly was in the picture my list not only became instantly shorter, but I felt a huge sense of relief lifted off my shoulders knowing I had such a tremendous supporter on my team. Kelly was prompt and present at each and every meeting we had prior to the wedding day. She always arrived with her amazing binder which was super organized with timelines and checklists that were neatly arranged and shared with us. Also, Kelly coordinated with the other vendors extremely efficiently and when I had an issue with any of them, she always resolved the matter quickly. Kelly worked well with my bridal party too; she made sure any and all requests by my family and friends were heard and accommodated with my approval. Anytime I was in freak-out mode, she made sure not only to calm me down, but provided perspective of how everything will be alright. And it turned out to be more than alright when it came to the big day- it was perfect. In short, without Kelly Demaray our wedding would not have been what it was- the most magical day of our lives. I whole-heartedly recommend her!

Hiring Kelly to be our wedding planner was the single best and most important decision that we made when planning our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough. Since we were planning a wedding in LA but living in San Francisco, we decided that the Full Package would be best for us. We did most of our planning with Kelly remotely, but also made 4 trips down to LA during our engagement to meet her and our vendors in person. Kelly was there for each step in the process, but never in an overbearing way. For each set of vendors, Kelly would send us a list of between 9-15 options for us to look through. Once we’d narrowed it down to 3-4 per category, Kelly then did all the legwork of gathering initial estimates and setting up a full schedule of meetings and interviews for when we were in town for the weekend, which made the whole process really easy.
On the day of the wedding, Kelly went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She bustled my dress, made sure that we took time to eat and drink and kept the whole evening flowing, telling best men when to speak, guiding us through cake cutting, and checking in on us multiple times to make sure everything was ok. The whole evening was perfect, and a large part of that was due to her help.
Kelly is everything you want in a planner. She is creative, extremely organized and very down to earth. She’ll present you with all the options that you want, but never pressure you into making a decision one way or another. She’s great about giving her honest opinions when asked, which were always informed by what she knew about us as a couple and what we wanted from our wedding. She told us exactly what we needed to do by when, making the entire process as stress-free as possible. As an added bonus, she’s just a ton of fun to be around, which makes going to vendor meetings with her all the better.

I was recommended to Kelly by a family friend who's daughter got married at Adamson House in Malibu. I heard that that specific location has many rules and regulations that needed to be followed which would require a very organized wedding planner- perfect for my wedding since it was at a newly renovated venue. We hired Kelly as the day of coordinator which means that she really starts working with us the month before the wedding. From the day I met Kelly to the day of the wedding, she was responsive, organized, and so positive. We did come across a bit of a hiccup during the wedding planning process...she became an expectant mother and was due around my wedding day! First of all, huge congrats to Kelly and I won't lie when i say I was bummed not to have her there on my actual wedding day. What I can tell you is that she was present at the final walk through a month before said wedding where she brought along Christy who would actually be working on my wedding day- I was impressed with this gesture and so thankful. Kelly worked all the way up to the birth of her beautiful baby girl and hired an equally fabulous team of coordinators who made my day run smoothly :-)I was recommended to Kelly by a family friend who's daughter got married at Adamson House in Malibu.

From the moment we started working with Kelly, we knew we were in great hands. She came to our very first meeting extremely prepared and full of thoughtful questions - I liked her instantly and grew to like her more throughout the process. I am local, but my parents are out of town, so we had to cram a lot of meetings and decisions in their short visits. Kelly went out of her way to accommodate their schedule and to work over emails in the interim, making the whole process so much easier. She is organized, efficient, incredibly professional, and has a great eye for detail. She was always conscious of our budget and really focused on making the wedding match our vision, rather than some sense of what is expected (although whenever we asked for guidance, she had plenty of great ideas from her other experiences). Her recommendations for other vendors were spot on too - we went with someone from her list for almost everything, and were never disappointed. Our wedding day was beautiful and since Kelly & her team were so on top of everything, I really could enjoy the moment. I recommend her wholeheartedly - she's a real gem!From the moment we started working with Kelly, we knew we were in great hands.

Words cannot express just how amazing Kelly Demaray is. We utilized her services as a Month-of Coordinator since we had done most of the wedding planning ourselves and she was the best investment we could have made for our wedding. Not only is she extremely nice and easy-going, but she balances those qualities with being very organized and completely on point. We felt very re-assured every step of the way. She has so much knowledge and experience with weddings that she was able to not only help us carry out the final details of our own vision but she also offered ideas that we would have never even thought of. She was an invaluable leader during our rehearsal and we couldn't have done it without her. She has a talent for handling large groups of people and getting them to focus on the task at hand without being demanding. In fact, she made everything quite fun! On our wedding day, Kelly made our timeline flow so smoothly from one thing to the next that we were able to just enjoy ourselves. We love that she always made us a priority, making sure we ate, talked to our family members, and was literally right there any time we needed her. She must have had her eyes on us the entire time because as soon as we were thinking we needed her, POOF! there she was! Like magic! (Kelly, I still don't understand how you took such great care of us while SIMULTANEOUSLY coordinating the ENTIRE WEDDING DAY! A-MAY-ZING. PERIOD.) We highly recommend Kelly to plan and/or coordinate your wedding, big or small. We couldn't have asked for a better planner and over-all great human being.

I cannot recommend Kelly at Demaray events enough! Friends of ours used her for their wedding years ago, and loved her, so we called her about month of coordinating. From the moment we met, I felt comfortable, at ease, and felt Kelly could handle everything we threw at her.
Kelly was incredibly responsive and on top of everything! She is calm, professional, funny, warm, and while she ran a tight ship, she was always willing to be flexible if we needed more time for photos, toasts, etc...
The biggest compliment I can give, though, is that I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding, and everything got done beautifully. The evening was incredibly smooth, everyone had a great time, and many of the guests commented on how much they liked Kelly.

Choosing the right wedding planner is important. This person is responsible for making sure your wedding day goes the way you want it, without having to worry about anything on that day. Kelly Demaray is that person!
We interviewed a few planners before we met with Kelly, and within five minutes we knew she was the one for us. Kelly took the time to ensure she understood our budget, what we wanted, and how we wanted it. She always answered every question with timeliness, professionalism, was straight to the point, and made sure we were satisfied with the answer.
We booked an outdoor, sunset ceremony along the marina in July. Normally, this is not a problem in Southern California but we were lucky enough to have rain. Kelly watched the weather all day long and prepared a backup plan. While we were getting ready for the wedding, Kelly kept us up-to-date on the weather and allowed us to make the final decision with no pressure or panic. Without hesitation, Kelly executed flawlessly the back-up plan, once we decided to move the wedding inside.
Literally, the only thing we had to think about was getting dressed and committing our love for one another. Throughout the entire evening, Kelly anticipated and addressed every little detail so we could enjoy the celebration. A perfect night because of the hard work and planning we had with Kelly Demaray!Choosing the right wedding planner is important.

To say that Kelly Demaray did a phenomenal job with our wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with would be a gross understatement! Kelly was highly recommended to us by our venue (Café Pinot – Downtown LA), and we could not be more thankful for that recommendation. We utilized Kelly’s specific services beginning approximately 2 months before our June/Summer wedding, yet she was always available for any small/specific questions that we had leading back to the Winter and Spring months. Her responses were always amazingly timely and filled with her own thoughts and suggestions, which my wife and I always appreciated. Kelly was able to understand from the very beginning what our vision was and not only sought to execute that vision on the day of, but go above and beyond in many different ways. Her organization and attention to detail was unmatched and she was incredibly warm and fun to work with. She even got a specific shout-out during the father’s toast!!! There are honestly not enough words to express how much Kelly meant to my wife and I during this amazing time in our lives and our wedding would not have been the special, memorable event it was without her!To say that Kelly Demaray did a phenomenal job with our wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with would be a gross understatement!

As the mother of the bride, I was grateful for Kelly's role. We had hired her for the "month of" duties. From the initial meeting, she was timely, prepared and professional. From the onset, she would offer her opinion, but never demand anything go her way. She gained our trust as she was even tempered, highly organized and very response. The day of my daughter's wedding, Kelly was the first on site and the last to leave. From grandma''s corsages, to interacting with all the contracted vendors, to the wedding crashers, Kelly handled it all with calm and ease. Not pushy, not overbearing, but a quiet, get it done mode. I can highly recommend Kelly and if you are getting married at Cafe Pinot, then for sure, she is your event planner!As the mother of the bride, I was grateful for Kelly's role.

If you are looking for a coordinator who you can trust, who has tons of experience and knowledge about how weddings work, who will give you the flexibility to do what you want, who is professional in every way, and who will ensure you can relax and enjoy your big day, go with Kelly! I am so glad I did. We hired her for the "month-of" package and she was exceptional from the initial consult, to the walk-through, to kindly and quickly answering my daily emails and questions the month of the wedding, to coordinating some disorganized vendors, creating a schedule, etc. etc.
On our wedding day, Kelly ensured everything was set up just as we wanted, she coordinated the loading in of all of the vendors (and made sure to be in touch plenty of time in advance to give them schedules, instructions, etc.) and made sure that everyone was where they needed to be. My husband and I did not have to think about one logistical item on our wedding day which was so wonderful. And we didn't worry because we knew Kelly would have everything under control! Just a few small examples: when I got deodorant on my husband's tux, she was there in 30 seconds to wipe it off; we had asked that she gently steer us along as we were greeting tables if we were staying too long at a single table, and she was there doing just that; when we were hungry at the end of the night, she had special entrees packaged up and made for us. I could go on and on. I am very detail-oriented, so I SO appreciated having someone who I knew would carry out everything as I imagined (and do a wonderful job improvising when I didn't have a specific plan for something). At the end of the night, I literally asked Kelly, "did we not have any problems or did you just shield me from them?" because everything seemed so perfect to me! I'll never know the answer, but it doesn't matter because Kelly made sure my husband and I were able to fully relax and enjoy our day, absorbing all of the planning we had done as it came to life!If you are looking for a coordinator who you can trust, who has tons of experience and knowledge about how weddings work, who will give you the flexibility to do what you want, who is professional in every way, and who will ensure you can relax and enjoy your big day, go with Kelly!

I'm so glad I was able to have Kelly as my wedding coordinator she was so amazing to work with. We had hired her for the month of and she took off running. We had a few meetings leading up to the month of just to make sure everything was on track. Kelly was always on top of everything and extremely organized!!!! If I needed anything I knew I could contact her and she would get back to me asap.
I handed over all the vendor information and odds and ends and I really didn't have to do much after that because thanks to Kelly she took care of it all. She created a fantastic timeline that all my vendors commented to me about that it was one of the best ones they've ever had. Everything went smoothly, I didn't have to ask for a thing she's just so on top of it. My husband and I had such an amazing time with all our guest because Kelly took care of everything. She's like a little ninja, you hardly saw her because she was just getting stuff taken care of left and right. This allowed my husband and I to enjoy the night just like our guest did and that really is the most important!
Kelly is easy going and very detail oriented, she's a delight to work with and is amazing at what she does!!! I would hire her again and again!I'm so glad I was able to have Kelly as my wedding coordinator she was so amazing to work with. We had hired her for the month of and she took off running.

My fiancé and I were going to elope, then decided to instead have a surprise wedding. I knew there was no way we could pull this off on our own, with two full time jobs and no friends or family to help (since we were going to surprise them!).
I consider myself EXTREMELY organized ... in fact people make fun of me planning my life on spreadsheets, etc ... and I think I finally met my match in Kelly. She was consistent in her follow up with both me and our vendors, and was pro-active throughout the whole process.
Kelly had ideas I would have never thought of (it may be a better idea to put the dessert table here because ...... for your ceremony have you thought of doing this ...., etc). If I wanted it my way I could have it, but all of her suggestions were too good to pass up.
The day of, I could not have had anyone more professional running the show. The vendors respected her, the venue respected her, and she seemed to always be in the right place in the right time ... five steps ahead.My fiancé and I were going to elope, then decided to instead have a surprise wedding.

Kelly was recommended to us by another couple after we were first engaged and as soon as we met with her, we knew she would be a great fit. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and though the planning process was daunting at times, Kelly made it a great experience. She was easy to reach with questions and concerns and always had helpful suggestions. She was exceptionally organized from start to finish and made sure we met all of our deadlines along the way. Many of our vendors and wedding venue had worked with her in the past and had wonderful things to say. It meant a lot to us that she had great relationships with so many local businesses and could deal with them directly as it got closer to the date. Kelly was always ready to take stuff off our plate and made us feel supported. She was extremely professional throughout and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of. It was a huge relief to know that she was on top of it all, and she was beyond wonderful with our families and wedding parties. I've even recommended her to one of my recently engaged bridesmaids. Kelly was a pleasure to work with and made the entire experience a pleasant one!Kelly was recommended to us by another couple after we were first engaged and as soon as we met with her, we knew she would be a great fit.

Kelly is truly amazing! I was referred to her through our wedding venue since I wanted someone who was very familiar with the space and I couldn’t be happier with our choice to hire her. Pre-wedding: Kelly answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and was extremely patient with me (I asked A LOT of questions). Day of: Kelly took care of EVERYTHING, ensuring that my vision came to life beautifully and on track. She took care of every issue that came up and refused to let me be bothered by any of it. When our Rabbi forgot to bring our personalized vows he said he’d bring, she stepped up to the plate and got them printed exactly the way I wanted just in time for the ceremony to begin. Everyone was extremely impressed by how gentle, yet firm she was. She kept us on schedule and everything ran very smoothly because of her. Our favorite part was that at some point in the evening, she came over and got us when it was time for my groom and I to sit down and eat. We’ve heard that most couples don’t get to eat at their wedding but we did because of her! (Granted, we scarffed our food so we could get back to making the rounds and thanking everyone, but at least we got to eat our food while it was still hot!) Kelly handled everything with extreme grace and managed all the moving parts I threw at her perfectly. If you're about to plan a wedding, please know that there are two things you can not skimp on: a great photographer and a wedding coordinator that handles all of your day of needs! We plan on recommending Kelly to all of our friends because she's worth every penny!!Kelly is truly amazing!

Kelly is amazing. She is organized, professional and great at her job.
She allowed my husband and I (parents of the bride) to truly enjoyed our daughter's special day. Words can not describe how grateful we are that Kelly was "the wedding planner".
ps. she is also the wedding planner for our son's wedding this December!
Totally would hire her......as a matter of fact....we have twice in one year!!!!Kelly is amazing. She is organized, professional and great at her job.
