    SAY YES TO THE LES! Leslie and her team are absolutely amazing! Booking K.I.M. Media was probably the smartest decision my husband and I made during the whole planning process! I am a type-A, organized control freak, so it was not easy for me to trust someone enough to allow them to coordinate everything the day of my wedding. However, Leslie earned my trust very quickly, as it's obvious after meeting with her that she is smart, experienced, detail oriented, and does it all with grace. Leslie went above and beyond in helping me, from making great suggestions, to reminding me about all the little details that needed attention. The month of my wedding I emailed her every day, multiple times a day, and she answered every single question I had. She also came to a lot of meetings and it was great to have her there since she really is a wedding expert. Leslie also spent a lot of time with our families (which is never easy!) and they all love her too!

    My wedding day was so much more enjoyable because I knew Leslie and her team were taking care of everything and I didn't have to worry. Despite the threat of rain and a few people showing up late, Leslie made my wedding amazing and perfect. Leslie handled everything with all the vendors and still made sure to be by my side to help me with my dress, to take me to the bathroom, and to make sure I was enjoying myself. I had so much more fun then I expected! People told me that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I really owe it all to Leslie! Now that my wedding is over, I'm sad because I know I will miss having Leslie so involved in my life! Book K.I.M. media and you will thank me later!

    Leslie was amazing. She assisted with all the details and last minute prep of our wedding. She was always responsive and courteous and made sure our big day went exactly as planned. I would definitely recommend her and don't know what we would have done if she wasn't there for us that day!

    Thanks Leslie!

    Leslie and her staff are absolutely amazing!! She became part of my crazy greek family and I am so happy to have worked with her. From the start, Leslie was responsive, on point, gave great advice for alternative ideas, diy, etc. My wedding was stunningly beautiful, on time, smooth and I honestly owe it all to Leslie. She gives great recommendations for other vendors she had work with in the past depending on the kind of service you need, etc. Anything you need she is there, and if she can not make it happen she is honest with you but always has a better plan b to make it up! My wedding went out like a bang, everyone still talks about it till this day and I have recommended Leslie to all of them! go ahead call her....you will see what i am doing talking about! Love you leslie!

    I am a planner by nature, I'm high-strung and don't usually let other plan things for me. Hiring a wedding planner took a lot for me to let go of the oversight, but by the day of, I was no-longer worries, I knew Leslie and team had everything under control. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the wedding with only the stress of getting my vows right :-)

    From my first call with Leslie, I knew she and her team would be amazing. We had planned a number of the major items out already, but were looking for help with day-of and lead-up planning services. Leslie has a method and a plan that ensures everything is taken care of. She helped us prioritize the critical to-do items early on and referred us to a number of fantastic vendors. From the days leading up to the ceremony through the end of our wedding, her team took full control of every aspect.

    The entire experience was the most wonderful that we could have ever imagined. Our family and friends have all said the same. Leslie and team made that special magic occur that made it not just a wedding or a special night but a wondrous experience. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for wedding planner look no further than K.I.M. Weddings.

    Exceptional service. Leslie is an incredible person with top tier work ethic. She is consise, thorough, and amazing at what she does. She gets things done. She keeps it moving. One year of planning and now I already miss her! She was the best choice I made in all vendors for my wedding. She helped make me and my now husbands wedding a dream come true. Everything we wanted and more. Thank you Leslie and her team. All on point.

    Leslie is the best, and I don't mean that hyperbolically. I mean--hiring Leslie as our day of coordinator was the best decision I made during the whole wedding planning process. She is endlessly available, patient and thorough. I cannot recommend her organizational and planning skills highly enough. Having Leslie on call is an event game-changer.

    Leslie and her team played an instrumental role in making our dream wedding a reality. Beginning with our very first phone call, Leslie demonstrated a high level of professionalism, competence, responsiveness and knowledge of the industry. She is outgoing, courteous, eager and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, she gets things done! We quickly found out that her "day of coordination" services go much more beyond just the day of the wedding, She played a key role in the last 6 weeks of our planning process, recommending vendors we haven't yet booked, communicating with and coordinating all of the vendors, assisting with design ideas, picking up props, helping us make decisions, creating a production book for the day of the wedding - the list goes on and on. On our wedding day, Leslie and her team, Elisabeth and Latressa, were always within an arm's reach - they helped us get through hair and makeup, pictures, coordinated the loading in and out of vendors and the set up of the venue, ensured everyone was in the right place at the right time and that the day ran according to schedule. Above all, they kept us sane and let us enjoy the best day of our lives without having to worry about a thing. We are beyond grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

    I recommend Leslie and her team wholeheartedly - she helped me plan and organize a destination wedding OVERSEAS and she helped put me at ease through the whole process. I had a local event planner as well for the local elements but Leslie made sure to take care of all of the big picture details - from getting guests on the shuttles on time to making sure all guests were accounted for to arranging airport shuttles - no easy task in a foreign country! On top of which she also made sure we were moving on schedule with our photographer and she even found time to bustle my dress and when the bustle came undone slightly (as she warned it might) she was right there sewing the ties back in with her emergency kit, while i was posing for guest photos (and no one noticed!) She is cool under pressure, organized beyond belief (so helpful for my type A personality) and has seen it all so is prepared for any situation with an alternate option - even in a foreign country. Highly highly recommend her!!

    Superb attention to detail, amazing creativity, a professional that will truly go above and beyond to make your vision come true. My advice to all brides: get a wedding planner! And no one better than Leslie, and the diligent staff at KIM Media! My wedding was a dream that people are still talking about.

    K.I.M. Media and Leslie were fantastic. They are highly organized and their meticulous preparation and attention to detail in planning every aspect of our wedding ensured that on wedding day all would go as smoothly as possible, which it did. We were extremely happy that our wedding was a very successful event. Friends and relatives alike commented to us that it was 'the best wedding that had every attended.' My wife and I feel that much of the credit for these favorable responses belongs to Leslie and her team at K.I.M. Media. They worked incredibly hard for 7 days a week 1 month prior to and on the day of our wedding.

    Leslie inspires confidence from the moment you meet her -- we are so grateful to have had her help with everything from coordinating and organizing the vendors, to making sure everyone from ushers to officiant knew what to do, and dealing with last-minute cake, band and site issues. She was never flustered, never tired of sending one more e-mail or running down one more confirmation, and always thinking one step ahead. Our family members and guests were likewise impressed with Leslie, and we were also grateful for her helpful staff, Janae and Claire, who were smiling, patient, and organized throughout the entire day.

    Words can not express how grateful I am for Leslie's help/work with my wedding. Before the big day, Leslie spent hours emailing and talking to my mother and I going over every detail ( many of which I would have never thought of myself). Leslie was responsive, caring, and just absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly easy to work with. The day of our wedding went incredibly smoothly ( or at least I was lead to believe it did). Leslie and her assistant Jennifer ran the entire day. They made sure things were set up and that everything happened in the right order and at the right time. My family, my husband, and I were able to actually enjoy the wedding and be guests not hosts. Leslie was a god send and I cannot express enough gratitude for her work. I would recommend her to anyone for any affair. I never want to have a party without her! Thank you Leslie for making my day so memorable and stress free!

    Still glowing after my daughter's wedding I wanted to let all the future brides know about Leslie Short and K.I.M. Media as she was such an important piece of the success of the entire day!
    My daughter and son in law met Leslie when they saw her in action at another affair, and were very impressed. What a piece of luck that was!
    Leslie was hired to come on board for the month prior to the event and the day of. Although she made herself available prior to that time, a month before the wedding, she really swung into action and pulled together all the pieces and to make the day of the wedding run seamlessly without anyone but us knowing what she was doing!
    Leslie was an absolute delight to work with, understanding, totally thorough, anticipating needs, all in all perfect!
    I could go on, but suffice it to say, she is a gem!

    Leslie and her team at K.I.M. were instrumental to making our wedding an unforgettable experience! With their support we were able to forget about all the details and focus on the amazing day knowing that everything was in good hands. Leslie herself is extremely hands on and one of the most responsive people I know. She is resourceful, energetic and on point! But most of all she is a great person and truly cares about you and your event. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner because she is worth every last cent and then some. The company is fantastic and Leslie has become a friend for life.

    Leslie and her team at KIM Media were an absolute godsend when it came to planning our wedding. I was in a difficult position when I first reached out to Leslie-- trying to plan the perfect wedding while working at a job that left me no time to plan. Anything.

    From the first time we spoke, Leslie exhibited an exemplary attention to detail, and a warmth and enthusiasm that she brought to each step of the planning process. Leslie was able to spot issues I never would have thought of until it was too late. She was always ready with five different solutions. And she always made sure that there were no loose ends, that all issues were taken care of.

    To illustrate, I had always wanted an outdoor wedding on the water and planned everything accordingly. When the weather predictions turned to rain a few days before the event, Leslie and her team bent over backwards to make sure that the wedding went off without a hitch. And only because of her efforts-- ordering extra tents, rain-related accoutrements-- it did.

    I could cite anecdote after anecdote to demonstrate how intelligent, capable, diligent, responsive, and creative Leslie is. But in the end, what really matters, what I came away with, and what I am still so very grateful for, is the way in which Leslie was able to take all of the stresses of wedding planning and make sure that not one was passed onto me. From the moment Leslie entered the picture, planning my wedding went from something that was waking me up at 5am, to one of the most wonderful and enjoyable times in my life. Being able to so thoroughly enjoy these moments, to so fully and completely indulge in that day, that night, was priceless. Leslie ensured that our wedding was an event that I will always look back on with pure joy.

    I could not recommend any wedding planner more highly.

    Leslie basically saved our day - even though we hired her last minute for our wedding, she dove right in, fgured things out and took matters in her hands and handled everything amazingly smoothly. We had some issues with the event manager at the venue who was supposed to be running the show, but his behavior was a bit concening to us, and we decided on hiring a planner. Leslie was willing to work on a tight schedule and was very responsive and understanding.

    I do not have a bad thing to say about Leslie or K.I.M. Media.

    Leslie was incredibly responsive, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help me in every way to be sure I was always 100% comfortable. She worked extremely well with my vendors, made a point to get to know my parents and never stressed me out. I also believe there were things she helped with us out with that were outside of her job description, such as helping put together hair pieces for my bridesmaids!

    And the day of, if there was any issues, I certainly didn't know about it. Everything was perfect!!

    K.I.M Media, and Leslie Short in particular, does wonderful work. She was always attentive to our needs, and although our vision sometimes differed, she respected our wishes completely and created a beautiful, total event that our guests are still raving about, while watching costs and sharing our concern for budget. She handled all of the vendors, addressed problems quickly and efficiently, and managed a very professional staff. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful wedding planner we had!

    K.I.M. Media deserves far more than a 5 Star rating! I've never planned a wedding before so I had no idea about the type of service I should expect, but K.I.M. Media far exceed any expectations I may have had. My husband, who wanted to go to the justice of the peace, his family and my family and friends, can not stop talking about the wonderful services K.I.M. Media provided to get us to our wedding day AND on our wedding day. The owner, Leslie is very warm, friendly and full of energy, but nothing over the top. Details that never occurred to me, K.I.M. was all over them! K.I.M. Media is very easy to work with; they have great ideas and overall, just fun to be around. On numerous occasions, family and friends wanted to know how I always appeared to be so relaxed when trying to plan a wedding in eight months; my response was always "talk to Leslie @KIM Media! With work and every day life, I never felt overwhelm or stressed and that's because Leslie and her team had everything well under control and on schedule.

    To the Brides-to-be, stop searching and call/email K.I.M. Media; after your initial meeting with Leslie, you'll understand my review and book with them immediately!

    KIM Weddings is THE most amazing wedding planning company ever! I had 800 invited guests and about 1500 guests who actually showed up for the wedding ceremony. I had an opportunity to meet with several wedding planners and KIM is definitely in a class all but itself. From beginning to end KIM was committed to designing our wedding according to who we are and not just based on what tradition dictates. KIM has access to the premiere venues and vendors in New York City. The owner, Leslie Short, was so warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, creative, and totally on top of EVERY detail. As we got closer to the wedding, she and her staff worked around the clock (literally) to ensure that our wedding would be PERFECT...and it was! From engagement parties and venues, to invitations, guest lists, DJ's, flowers, menus, lights, transportation, hotels, ceremony, attire, and even moral support along the way (I could go on and on, obviously)...I really was able to sit back and relax pre-wedding becauses I was so confident in KIM's ability to manage it all. KIM Weddings is the most comprehensive, caring, and professional event service I have ever engaged. It was an absolute pleasure to be their client and I will recommend them in the years to come without any reservation. Thanks KIM!!!

    Dear Future Brides,

    Please allow me to share my experience with you from using Leslie Short of K.I.M Media for our wedding luncheon. My husband and I both agree that the day wouldn't have been possible had we not had Leslie on our team!

    Between the unexpected rain storm, to our vendors changing agreements last minute (which Leslie had absolutely no part of, yet she still stepped forward above and beyond our contractual agreement when she knew we needed the help) to of course.....family drama. Leslie graciously stepped in above & beyond doing our beautiful flower arrangements and cake design to assist us when we needed the help. THAT IS SERVICE!

    If we had to do it all over again, and had I known just how much I would need Leslie and her K.I.M team, I would have hired them for every aspect of our wedding.

    My 4 year anniversary is coming up, and naturally I can't help but to reflect on our special day. And still my deepest thanks and gratitude is to Leslie for helping make our day a memorable one!

    Leslie from K.I.M. Media is the best of the best for wedding and event planning. She assisted with every aspect of the planning of my Caribbean wedding and provided great advice on how to navigate the local vendors.

    She also assisted with devising a detailed and vibrant wedding day schedule. As a result of her advice my guests enjoyed a 5 course meal, three sets of live entertainment and speeches with no lagging or boredom. All guests commented on how smoothly everything went and how enjoyable everything was.

    I would highly recommend Leslie. Book her before someone else does - you will not be dissapointed!
