    11/23 Wedding

    Truly could not have asked for a better officiant. She was so receptive to what I wanted. I wanted religious but then had a change of how much and she gladly changed it to include God but not be a church wedding for our non religious family members comfort. I loved working with her and then the ceremony was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. So so grateful!

    Simply Impeccable

    You can't go wrong working with her. Not only did she do a fabulous job with the decor, she integrated perfectly well with all vendors. She took her time to ask relevant questions, make reasonable suggestions and stayed calm, respectful and friendly all through the process. I really enjoyed working with her and I definitely would recommend her a thousand times. She checked all possible boxes with her impeccable service.

    Justice wedding 11/24

    Serenity did an amazing job executing the vision I had for our day. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to my liking and made sure to make our wants/needs a priority! No matter what problems came about through out the night she handled everything and took all the stress off our plates. We will most defiantly use her again for any events we have in Columbia.

    I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of wedding planners; however none of them come close to measuring up to Kinsza and her team. They are kind, passionate, and dedicated as if they were your family. Beyond prepared and even more ready to problem solve on the fly! Thank you for making world class events with NOAHS and we can’t wait to have you back! Please consider Kinsza and team- you will not regret it! (Look at that floor crawling dedication)

    This was my second opportunity to use I Thee Wed, (Kinza does more than weddings)..... I was more amazed, which I didn't think could be possible. Kinza and her team make it there business to get to know you, and once that happens its so easy, effortless for them to assist you in your decision making, help you to get off the fence, as well as keep you on track and on budget. They have a no stress zone, tell them what you want and she can make your visions/dreams into realities. Once you get to know Kinza she will become part of your family, we just love her so!

    The I Thee Wed team is 100% amazing hands down. They are professional in all ways. We could count that if a decision needed to be made and we weren't there to make that decision that I Thee Wed would make the right decision. Whenever you feel overwhelmed you can count that a text or call to them and you will be at ease once you realize they are one step ahead. Our wedding was in California (west coast) and I Thee Wed (East coast) took that challenge and ran. Our wedding was more than amazing. Their linen rentals and drapery is beautiful. Floral recommendation was beyond expectation.

    Mrs. Kinsza was very professional. We, Diane and Archie Fletcher, (parents of the bride) were pleased with her services. We felt that she paid close attention to detail which helped to make the wedding full of special memories. Mrs. Kinsza took charge of many aspects of the event and had good suggestions and references in hiring other vendors. Thank you for everything.

    Kinsza is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING as a wedding planner! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! She is professional, personable, and completely down to earth. She is absolutely walking in her purpose as a wedding planner.

    From the beginning my husband (then fiance) and I felt an immediate connection with her. Within 15 minutes following our initial meeting with Kinsza, we called and cancelled our later meetings with other planners and immediately hired her. We knew the moment we left our meeting with her, if we wanted a beautiful and well managed wedding, we'd better hire Kinsza. She completely surpassed our expectations. She was always organized, and quick to handle any issue that came about during the planning process. All of our vendors were even impressed by her. Literally every vendor of ours commented on our wedding planner and how "on it" she was. She reached out to all the other wedding vendors and stayed in constant communication with them to assure that no issue would arise come the wedding day. Our bridal party also commented on how amazing our wedding planner was. Weeks prior to the wedding, she emailed the bridal party the itinerary for the entire wedding weekend. Other amazing things Kinsza did, she provided a hairstylist for the flower girls at the last minute; she provided some of her wedding equipment & linens at the last minute; she handled a difficult situation with the bartender company the day of the wedding; she was available at all times; etc. Honestly I could go on and on about how amazing Kinsza was as our wedding planner. Kinsza made our wedding absolutely perfect, and for that we will forever be grateful to her.

    The day of the wedding, her wedding team were wonderful! They were all completely professional and genuinely kind. Our guest commented to us how impressed they were with our wedding planner and her team. As I said above, I highly recommend 'I Thee Wed'! They will make your day memorable and perfect.

    Words cannot express the gratitude I have towards Kinsza. I initially met with Kinsza to hire her only for draping because I saw her work at the vendor I was going to have my wedding at but after meeting with her and talking to her about the wedding in general I realized I was out of my lane. At the time of planning my wedding I was working 10-12hours a day and all of my family live out of state. Time was an issue for me even though I was planning a year out.
    Kinsza helped me prioritize and list things I would need – At a drapery meeting. I then realized that she decorated and was a wedding planner. I am in no way rich just an everyday person- I mention that because I wanted a wedding planner but it was not in the budget so Kinsza offered me “THE DAY OF SERVICE”- Best decision I could have ever made. I hired Kinsza for draping, decorating and her “day of service” –
    To My Future Brides – please recieve this lesson that cost me. I hired a vendor before meeting Kinsza and that vendor went out of business 2 weeks before my wedding. If there is anyway (payment arrangement is an option) to hire a Kinsza who knows the business, the local vendors and can refer other vendors who have been in the business, are reliable, professional and provide excellent service you should do it by any means. I already have trust issues with paying people I do not know in hopes that they come through a year later for YOUR WEDDING- Kinsza not only cares but held my held hand while trying to find a new venue and became my friend who was excited about my wedding while my family and friends where too far away to be involved and I didn’t want them to know the drama I was having with wedding plans that fell through – you don’t want that to be the tone of your wedding ..right 
    Side Note- After the wedding my wedding guest praise Kinsza and her team, they did stuff I had no idea was happening and handled all questions/issue that came up –

    WOW, was the word of everyone's lips walking into that ballroom, i remember people saying " this is the type of wedding we see on television". Kinsza and her team did an amazing job at my wedding. She turned my wedding into a beautiful and glamerous event...she went above and beyond our expectation and executed everything with perfection. She is very professional and reliable we had nothing to stress about on our wedding day because we knew she will take care of every detail. She is very flexible and always ajusted her time to meet with me, or vendors. She didn't hesitate to drive 40 miles to go pick up my invitation or come with me to my wedding gown fitting. She made me feel like the only bride she was working with, like i was her top priority.
    My husband was so impressed on how everything turned out. kinzsa is top of the line in this business. Hiring her was by far the best decision we made.

    Kinsza of I Thee Wed is simply amazing! In the beginning, my fiance and I wasn't sure how a wedding planner would fit into our budget, but we also knew that having a wedding planner was a must. After meeting a other planners, it was clear to see that I Thee Wed was highly qualified and that our dream wedding would become a reality. The rate for services is very affordable and the vendor referrals were great! Kinsza made sure I was not worried about anything during the total wedding planning experience, and she attended every vendor meeting to ensure we were getting excellent service at the best value. Our wedding was beautiful and we couldn't imagine not having I thee Wed as part of our special day!

    Kinsza is beyond amazing! She gets to know her brides and helps them plan their wedding as if it was her own. She made herself available to me at all times. She was professional and I went through the planning process with no stress. She went way above and beyond my expectations of a planner. My wedding was amazing because of her talent as well as the talented vendors that she connected me with. She took my vision and expanded its beauty and made sure I had the best day of my life! The day was flawless! I cannot say enough about her. If you want to have a gorgeous, fun, stress free day to remember, choose I the wed for your wedding planning needs!

    Kinsza was a wonderful wedding planner. I don't think we could have survived without her on our big day. She was there for every step of the way. She was professions, personable, organized and the reason we stayed close to budget. I recommend her to any bride who wants a stress free wedding or event. She is truly the best!! We adore her!

    Kinsza from I Thee Wed is FANTASTIC! While searching for a wedding planner, we knew she was the one immediately upon stepping into her office. That was back in 2006! Our wedding was a day we cherish forever, and the memories she helped to create will last a lifetime. She listens, and makes it happen. She has connections to just about everyone in the business, helping to make your event just perfect. A smile never leaves her face, and her bubbly personality makes every day of planning fun! We truly enjoyed every minute of the planning process. Since our wedding, she has planned numerous surprise birthday parties and get-togethers for us. It's not a wedding/party/event unless it's been planned by Kinsza of I Thee Wed!

    Kinsza Virgil is one of the most talented resourceful and most importantly professional wedding planners I have ever worked with. It truly is a pleasure wirking with her, she really knows how to control the flow of a wedding day. Her style and execution is total elegance. She made my job a thousand times easier, and her professional touches- things like having stationary available, custom uplighting and beautifully designed tablescapes made the environment, and consequently the photography come out so much nicer.

    Kinsza and her awesome team handled every aspect of our event. She was a true professional and perfectionist.
    She made sure the wedding was on time, high style and that we had the best vendors. She handled the alterations, make up artist, centerpieces, vocalist, musician, aisle runner, linen... The list goes on.
    We recommend her to everyone we know.
    I <3 I Thee Wed they truly made my wedding dreams come true!!

    Kinsza and her team are the best! I live in New York City but travel constantly around the country (5 days/ week) on business. I wanted to throw a 90th birthday celebration for my dad, in Charlotte NC. I met Kinsza while finalizing a contract at the venue I had selected; we hit it off immediately. She listened to my vision and ultimately took responsibility for every detail (decor, caterer, cake design, invitations and RSVP mailing and responses, photographer, vendor payments, program coordination, MCing, EVERYTHING!). She handled business professionally with flexibility and understanding when asked to accommodate last minute surprises.

    The event was a great success. Dad was pleased, and the 80 plus guests totally enjoyed themselves. Everyone praised me and wondered how I was able to pull it off while traveling the country. Kinzsa's team was my secret weapon.

    I highly recommend Kinsza and her team for your event.
