    I hugged McKenna so many times on my wedding day haha

    McKenna is an INCREDIBLE wedding planner. You know those people who are just impressively good at what they do? That's McKenna! Looking back on the whole process, I can confidently say the wedding planner was one of (if not THE) most important hires. You can't go wrong with McKenna! First of all she's just a sweet, kind and lovely person to work with throughout your engagement-- her energy and enthusiasm is infectious, and she's very well connected and experienced with various vendors. Her communication is clear and patient, which helps make this overwhelming experience fun and simple-- which it SHOULD be! Once the big day finally arrived, she was an absolute force as our day-of coordinator! We felt seen, cared for and confidently guided and instructed. Our wedding day ran seamlessly and beautifully. Even our entire bridal parties were impressed by her and only had wonderful things to say. Overall, we had just the most amazing time and we are thrilled to have had the experience of working with her. She and her team are A+ professionals. We couldn't have asked for better!

    Can’t say enough good things and can’t imagine the day without her!

    McKenna is the best! I can’t imagine a wedding day without her. She walked us through the process for many months and was always available to answer questions, provide suggestions and keep us relaxed but focused. She knows it all, so we left so much in her hands and it was the most perfect day ever. The wedding was a combination of cultures and she handled it all so smoothly. I can not recommend her highly enough!
    We will never forget what she added to my daughters special day❤️

    She’s the best!

    McKenna was so easy to work with and was always able to help me with any issue or questions I had. My wedding was so beautiful that I was in tears at the end of the night because I was so sad that it was over. She was such a relief during the planning process and the day of! I knew I could always count on her and to always do so professionally and with a smile.

    Fairy Tale Wedding

    McKenna was a dream coordinator for my daughters wedding. I live in a different state as my daughter and McKenna helped us coordinate calls, hire vendors, plan even the smallest detail from start to finish. Her lively personality help keep my daughter calm and on track with every detail of her wedding-which help take a lot of the pressure off me as the mother of the bride. Her wonderful husband was the officiant for the service and he made the experience a personal one for the bride and groom as if he had know them both for years. They are a wonder duo to work with. We had hire McKenna about 18 months prior to the wedding and she never left us hanging. She was always checking in with us. Assigning us things to to along the way without waiting to the very end to get all the details finalized. She is missed since the wedding ended in November - we really looked forward to talking and working with her! McKenna has a wonderful amount of knowledge with wedding planning and seemed to have a vast amount of resources at hand. My Daughter wanted a Fairy Tale - Romantic Dream Wedding and McKenna delivered. I highly recommend her and her services to anyone who would like to work with a coordinator who is truly there for the bride and groom! Our family and quests will be talking about my daughters wedding for years to come!!
    *McKenna the Bordinaro-Lerch family thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you, your family, and your business a world of success...

    Thank you for the peace of mind!

    We had McKenna as our wedding coordinator and LOVED our experience. Our church and reception venue had designated coordinators but I was interested in a separate coordinator because I read that venue-provided coordinators generally have the venue's best interests in mind instead of the couples.
    McKenna was SUCH a positive and necessary voice through my wedding planning and on the actual day. She was super responsive, always ready to talk things through or even just listen and validate my choices when I had moments of doubt.

    On the actual wedding day I got some compliments from my wedding party and family about how amazingly seamless the day turned out, and McKenna was the driving force behind that. She was so calm, collected and capable. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Stress-free & magical day!!

    September 2023 bride here!

    I found Events by McKenna while frantically searching for a wedding planner after realizing I, in fact, could not do this by myself though I had believed otherwise like many brides.
    What drew me to Events by McKenna was honestly the vibe I got when I saw photos of McKenna in action at weddings, as well as the thousands of reviews on how she was the best planner ever. Those reviews were spot on. Not only was my wedding day stress-free, the entire process was so simple. I tend to get too into the details & drive myself too crazy to see big picture. McKenna & team NEVER made me feel crazy.

    I had an image in my head about how the day would turn out, decor, florals, placements, etc. - McKenna & team made all of our dreams come true.

    If you’re *thinking* about getting a wedding planner but not totally sold, please just set up a call with McKenna. I guarantee you will be glad you did.

    Wonderful, calming presence!

    The first time I spoke to McKenna, she told me that her value proposition was to deliver a happy, calm wedding day. That was all I was looking for. She's so responsive, kind, and supportive. I didn't feel like she was ever judging me, only looking for ways to help me manifest my vision. On the day of my wedding, I didn't even look at the clock and yet everything was on time. Everyone told me that McKenna was everywhere checking on every little detail so I wouldn't have to. Best money I ever spent.

    A stellar wedding experience coordinated by McKenna Folmar!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about McKenna, the incredible wedding coordinator who brought our daughter’s dream wedding to life! From the moment we first spoke to her over the phone, it was evident that we had found an absolute gem in the world of wedding planning.

    McKenna’s organization skills are second to none. She had a remarkable ability to keep everything in order, making sure no detail was overlooked. Her insightful tips and recommendations were invaluable throughout the entire planning process, easing our worries and guiding us toward the perfect choices for our daughter’s big day.

    Communication was a key factor that set McKenna apart. Her responsiveness and clarity in all our interactions were remarkable. We always felt in the loop and confident that everything was progressing smoothly. She attended planning meetings on Zoom with enthusiasm, bringing forth creative ideas that truly enhanced the wedding experience. Her dedication to liaising with the wedding venue and all vendors ensured seamless coordination that we could trust.

    What truly made McKenna shine was her unwavering commitment to making our daughter’s wedding day absolutely perfect. She assured us from the beginning that everything would be on point, and she delivered on that promise with precision and grace. Every aspect of the wedding timeline was executed flawlessly, leaving us, as parents of the bride, stress-free and able to enjoy the celebration to the fullest.

    From the very start, our daughter knew that McKenna was the ideal choice to coordinate her wedding. That initial gut feeling proved absolutely right, as McKenna went above and beyond to make this day extraordinary.

    As parents, we couldn’t be happier with the job McKenna did as our wedding coordinator. She’s not just a professional; she’s a true artist in crafting the most beautiful and memorable weddings. If you’re searching for someone to make your wedding dreams come true, look no further than McKenna – she’s an absolute superstar in the world of wedding coordination!

    Amazing - 12/10

    Events by McKenna helped me have the wedding of my dreams. McKenna was so incredible to work with, easy to get along with, and great at managing all things wedding. She put me into contact with amazing DJ, florist, make-up artists and many more!. After getting engaged I was so overwhelmed with everything we had to do and everyone we had to book, but McKenna saved the day with her list of recommended vendors. After deciding which vendors to go with she did most of the planning from there. She was very precise in our meetings making sure she had my vision down exactly as I wanted. Come wedding day McKenna and her team exceeded all expectations. It was a beautiful day, and ran incredibly smoothly thanks to McKenna and her assistant Jessica. I hope I have a friend book Events by McKenna just so I can work with her again. 12/10 recommend Events by McKenna

    Mckenna is amazing!

    I can not say enough good things about McKenna, she is simply amazing! She was very helpful finding vendors and kept in frequent contact with all of them (all the vendors love her too!) and she ran everything from set-up to clean-up on the day of the wedding. She gave us tons of great ideas and we love her to pieces!

    10/10 would recommend!

    McKenna and her assistant were incredibly helpful with our wedding. We hired her to do day of coordination and let me just say, your wedding planner may be the most important vendor you hire.
    McKenna and her assistant took care of EVERYTHING. They set up the table decor, the dessert station, the welcome table, and probably a million other little things that I didn't even know about. I didn't have to think of a single detail on the wedding day, logistics wise. It was amazing.
    I thought I would be spinning around trying to make sure everything was as it should be, but since we hired Mckenna, I was able to focus on getting ready, spending time with my bridal party, and of course, getting married.
    My family was ready to get to work and help since we were more on the DIY side, but Mckenna and her assistant did everything for us. My family had such great things to say.
    From meetings to review the planning process, to making sure I had everything on my "end of the night" packing list in the car we were leaving in, McKenna did it all and went above and beyond.
    If you are hesitant to hire a coordinator/event planner, my suggestion would to be go for it, and I would highly recommend Events by McKenna.
    Thank you for everything, McKenna!!

    Events by McKenna is Amazing!!

    McKenna was the integral part of our wedding planning process. She knew exactly what we needed to do, checked in on us often, and handled details with the venue for us. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant Samantha made sure everything run impeccably smooth and stress-free. They made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Nothing went wrong, and it was largely because of this team. We feel truly blessed to have found Events by McKenna and could not imagine working with anyone else.

    Incredible!

    McKenna was absolutely amazing. She walked us through every step of planning our wedding and was always available for a call when we needed it. On the day, she kept us all calm and dealt with whatever issues popped up so we were never stressed. I can't imagine our wedding without McKenna. If you want to have a perfect, worry-free day you should hire her.

    All Star Coordinator

    Truly - the best ever. From the moment I had my first call with McKenna I knew I (and the wedding) was in good hands. I hired McKenna as a day of coordinator, but she immediately went to work helping organize my chaos well in advance of the wedding day. She expertly navigated planning and went above and beyond expectations. She was highly organized and very thoughtful from start to finish. The wedding was PERFECT, literal wedding of my dreams and I am so so so grateful for McKenna's guidance and natural ability to calm my nerves throughout each step. She is an angel of a human and 100% recommend her as a coordinator. 10/10 . Do yourself a favor and book her right this second.

    Perfection

    There are just so many intricacies in planning and executing a successful wedding. Especially in a short period of time. I spent only 1.5mo planning my wedding. I could not have done it without McKenna. I could not have imagined this very special day done without her help. There is just far too much to execute that a bride or friends will not know how to do. She was everything we needed and more ! She went above and beyond and even helped me put on my dress and veil the day of! I highly recommend. Xoxo

    Above and Beyond

    McKenna is an amazing wedding planner. We hired her as our day of coordinator, but as soon as we hired her (which was months prior to the wedding) she was meeting with us, giving us advice and recommendations for vendors (all of which were also amazing). She is organized, calm and supportive. Our wedding went so smoothly because of her!
