    First and foremost, our wedding turned out to be amazing and a complete success. Our guests have told us that they were blown away and were thankful to have attended such a glamorous, fun and memorable event. Now all of this couldn't of been possible without Kelsey and her team at Kelsey Events. So when the big day finally came, Kelsey and her team were able to pick up items from us for the reception site at the butt crack 'o' dawn so they could expedite the set up process. She had all of the vendors contact information to make sure that they arrived in a timely manner to do what they were hired to do while making sure the bridal party was getting ready in time for photography. Kelsey also made sure the bridal party was on time and coherent with the game plan - that meant we couldn't get drunk which was a good thing! We already wanted to party but she made sure the business of love got handled first. After the wedding ceremony, we were blown away at the look and feel of our wedding reception - all of that planning and hard work were present and it was nice to see that pie fully baked! Kelsey made sure the next series of events were on time like: introductions, first dance, speeches, cake cutting, video, etc. In the wee hours of the evening, once the guests vacated the venue, Kelsey helped us clear the venue of all our personable valuables and then the night was finally over. Some people say that your wedding day goes by so fast, for us it was a longgggggg day! Ultimately Kelsey is a consummate professional and we'd recommend her ten-fold especially at The Vibiana where we held our wedding reception. We can't thank Kelsey enough for being there for us and making our memories last a lifetime.

    Absolutely amazing!

    Kelsey was seriously the best wedding planner! She handled everything so well and stayed calm through it all, no matter how big or small. I would highly recommend Kelsey, for any event!! She is also the sweetest person. I can’t wait to have her help with many parties/events of mine in the future. She makes the vision come to life!

    Water wedding

    I have no words that could describe my wedding. It was MAGICAL!! Ever since I was little I envisioned my wedding and what it would be like... well long story short it was better than anything I dreamed of! I was probably more hands off than most brides. I told what I like and she got a sense of my personality and she ran with it. I’m a big believer of letting people do what they are good at and Kelsey is seriously good at planning weddings! I put my trust in her and she DEFINITELY DELIVERED!! I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding so amazingly special. I would highly recommend her!

    Kelsey was a phenomenol wedding planner! I selected her partial planning packadge and I must say - it felt like the full planning packadge! She was always responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. I used almost all of her recommendations for decor as well as other vendors - I was never dissapointed. Her help on the day of the wedding was amazing - I never worried about thing, only having fun all night!

    Kelsey and Jackie were lifesavers several times over. Our daughter's Saddlerock, Malibu wedding was complex; our good planning was appreciated and perfectly carried out by Kelsey and Jackie. These girls are skilled; I wouldn't dream of doing this again without them! My day as MOB was magical, thanks to them. They are worth their weight in gold!

    Kelsey and her team went above and beyond to make our special day magical and stress free. Every detail that we had planned was perfectly executed and we didn't have to worry about a thing. If you are not sure if you need a planner, you definitely do, and if you are wondering if you should go with Kelsey and her team, you should!

    We will never be able to thank Kelsey and her team enough. We were referred to Kelsey through a friend who said she had impeccable organizational skills and an individualized approach. We interviewed many wedding coordinators and event planners. We knew quickly that Kelsey was the best of the bunch. We retained Kelsey for “full service” for all three days of our wedding weekend.

    Kelsey helped us navigate the overwhelming world of wedding vendors. She found us the best of the best and helped us negotiate prices and contracts in order to ensure we stayed in line with our budget.

    Kelsey has incredible taste and style. She was able to understand how to bring all of our many ideas together in a cohesive design. We counted on her to give us her opinion on the things that we had no idea about. She was able to make decisions for us on issues about which we were indifferent (we had never given linens a great deal of thought before our wedding). She was always quick to respond to our millions of questions. Most importantly, we were able to relax because she helped us create lists and timelines during the planning process.

    Kelsey is always calm and she handles incredible pressure with a smile on her face. She maintained that throughout our entire wedding weekend. She managed a million details with ease and still found time to come to us and ensure we were completely taken care of. We had heard horror stories from our friends—they advised us to expect that things will go wrong during our wedding. To our surprise, though, everything went perfectly. We had more than 200 guests attending events on three different days. There were more than 60 vendors operating on a 39-acre property. There were a tremendous number of logistical issues and a lot of room for error. Kelsey handled everything. As a result, everything went perfectly.

    If you are on the fence about booking a wedding coordinator, or booking with Kelsey, stop deliberating and absolutely do it! I booked Kelsey and team for my day-of wedding coordination, and am so relieved I did! Jonny and her assistant were incredible, and made our day absolutely perfect! Everything was seamless, and exactly as we discussed. They were incredibly organized, and prepared for anything and everything! There is so much happening the day of your wedding, and the bride and her friends and family shouldn't have to sweat the setup and logistics on such an important day. I can guarantee that you will more than get your money's worth, and that they will do everything they can to make your special day memorable and stress free :)

    I don't know what I would have done without Kelsey during the wedding planning and on the day off! She was truly a god send. I never at any point during the process felt stressed out or overwhelmed because I had someone remembering all of the little details. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing! All of the details and the decor turned out so much better than I could have even dreamed! The day went off without a hitch and all of our guests had a fantastic time! We actually received numerous comments from guests that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to!

    If you are considering having a coordinator for your wedding, I strongly recommend Kelsey or any of the girls at Kelsey Events. Best decision I made while planning my wedding.

    Thank you Kelsey for everything!

    Kelsey and her team are beyond amazing! She made the whole planning process (even with me being in NY) seamless and stress free. She has amazing ideas and is very knowledgable in all things wedding. My wedding day would not have been the same without her, she helped make my day more beautiful than I could have even imagined and did not miss a beat when it came to making sure the day ran smoothly and accordingly. Even my husband said, "Wow that wedding coordinator is the best! She's on top of everything" She was =)

    Kelsey is a phenomenal wedding coordinator!! My daughter, Michelle, met with Kelsey while she and her fiancé, Marco, were determining what they wanted to include in their wedding. Michelle and Kelsey met numerous times discussing customary traditional wedding ceremony options, as well as other desires, along with the standard necessities that would work best for Michelle and Marco's wishes for their special day. Michelle and Marco were most impressed with Kelsey's presentation and retainer her services. Throughout the setup process of all vendors utilized Kelsey advised Michelle and Marco what would be provided to meet their wishes.

    The day of the wedding Kelsey and her support staff were exceptional. The professionalism and incomparable services provided were beyond compare. At every asked, unasked and/or apparent question or issue an answer/or direction was provided by Kelsey and/or her staff. Kelsey even assisted personally with a static cling issued with my dress.

    The wedding ceremony and reception were so beautifully exquisite that you had the feeling you were experiencing an event that could only be a fantasy dream. Furthermore, it was a wonderful loving, warm and extraordinary family event that will live delightfully in the minds of those attending for years to come!

    I don't know what I would have done without Kelsey!! I used Kelsey from start to finish for my wedding. I really didn't realize how much goes into planning a wedding and I'm so glad I hired Kelsey to help me though the process. Her vendor recommendations are the best in the business!

    Kelsey made my vision come to life even more perfectly than I could have dreamed. My wedding turned out absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have done it without her! Kelsey's assistant Jackie was amazing as well. She was right there for anything I needed on my wedding day. I'm so grateful for all of Jackie's help!

    I would highly recommend Kelsey Events for anyone that is looking for a wedding planner!!

    Kelsey is very professional and has incredible patients. She also has a eye for colors and themes. She is a true class act.
    In the many events we previewed of kelsey's at the Montage and Ritz Carlton she really outdid herself at our wedding at La Quinta. Everything was first class and the event was seamless. La quinta would be well served to recommend her for future events. We loved working with her and her boundless energy, but most of all her amazing ideas.

    Couldn't of asked for a better planner! My (now) husband and I were a mess trying to plan our own wedding. Kelsey jumped in and helped us sort out our madness. From start to finish, Kelsey Events made our wedding. We would not have been able to pull off such a beautiful day without them!! Truly wedding savers! if I could do it all over again, the only this I would change is calling Kelsey Events sooner!!!

    If I could rate her a 10 out of 5 I would. She was truly that valuable. She is organized, responsibe, insiteful, extremely easy to work with, and her value was apparent everyday of the planning process. We got to know Kelsey over a year and a half and she was always available and willing to email, text, or chat about whatever we were worried about or needed help with. Kelsey also happens to know almost everyone in the wedding industry in the Orange County area where our wedding and reception was held which helped immensely with picking the right vendors for us and ended up saving us a lot of money in the long run.

    In short, planning a wedding is a lot of work and Kelsey made it pleasurable and exciting. We love her and we imagine you will too after working with her. I recommend her without reservation.

    Kelsey is worth her weight in gold! She was by far the BEST decision we made in our wedding planning journey. She has endless knowledge and is approachable and professional. She repeatedly saved us money because of her connections and good standing with local vendors. She made our entire wedding weekend stress-free. Our events ran smoothly without any glitches. She is a wonderful person and an outstanding planner. She went above and beyond to make our day amazing... she even provided a bow tie for the groom when he forgot his at home! Kelsey and her crew are outstanding. I recommend Kelsey without reservation.

    Kelsey and her team are very professional and have great communication. I have to say I have seen many stressed out brides and bridesmaids and the craziness that goes on before a wedding starts. My day was nothing like that at all Kelsey and her team made the intire day feel so easy. Our guest were very impressed by their professionalism. Before hiring Kelsey I interviewed with three other wedding planners, Kelsey was so professional in the way she let me talk and tell her my invision of my dream wedding. She took notes the intire time and never once said sorry you can't do that with your budget!! Our wedding was more then I could of imagined, it was my dream. Kelsey is not only my wedding planner but now a friend. I look forward to hiring her for future events. Getting to know her personally you will see that she is not only nice, professional, talented at what she does but is beautiful from the inside out. What you ask for she will provide, once my wedding planner and now my friend!

    Kelsey saved my wedding! I don't know what I was thinking trying to pull off a wedding in our own backyard without a planner. I called her with just a few months left to go, practically in tears because of how overwhelmed I was, and it was the best decision I made during the entire process.

    She coached us through the various complications of an at-home wedding, and spent plenty of time face-to-face with me before wedding day. She and her team ran our rehearsal the day before, and on the day itself, they set up and decorated our back yard, directed the many vendors and the bridal party, made sure everyone got paid, took care of the guests, directed the flow of the event, cleaned up and secured the house afterward, and probably many other things I don't even know about - because I was mercifully shielded and able to focus on being a bride. She took my vision and executed it better than I ever could have myself.

    Kelsey made our day happen, and made it absolutely magical - a wedding day that we still can't believe was ours, and a wedding that many of our guests said was the best they had ever been to. I simply can't recommend Kelsey Events highly enough!

    Kelsey made my wedding effortless. She helped me find and secure vendors and made sure I got dorm amazing deals. He worked out the details with the vendors so that I didn't have to. I was living in a different city so she was helpful making sure things got picked up and everything was there the day of the wedding. My wedding day went sooo smooth. It was effortless. I did have to worry about a thing and she took care of everything. I am so glad that I had Kelsey there to help with my wedding.

    Kelsey Events came hiighly recommended to us so we decided to give her a call. Really, really glad we did! It's been two months since our wedding and I always think about what a smart choice it was to go with Kelsey events for our wedding coordination.

    During the process, she wasn't pushy - she knew we were working with a really tight budget and didn't push any of her vendors on us and worked well with the ones we went with. She never made us feel like we weren't just as important to her as maybe her other clients, she kept in touch all the time! We got asked many o' times why we would spend money on a coordinator if we could have used that money for something else for the wedding. and I hate to sound cliche, but SERIOUSLY taking as much stress off of yourself - or a family member or friend you would ask to help - is so Priceless! She and/or Jackie (her assistant) were at every meeting that they needed to be and always kept a high level of professionalism.

    Day of: Our day-of coordinator was Jackie. she was SO SO SO wonderful!! That morning she went to the venue to make sure everyone and everything was taking care of business. She went to the hotel to check up on us and that little detail was very sweet! At the wedding reception, even our Guests were saying what a wonderful job she was doing (no joke! haha). The best part was that she was so calm, cool and collected. I really don't think anything went wrong that day... and if it did, I had noo clue!! :) She was a major sweetheart!

    THANK YOU Kelsey and Jackie for your excellent service!!

    Kelsey was referred to me by a friend of mine and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I went in to Kelsey with very little knowledge about planning a wedding and what was required. She gave me a checklist and helped me along every step of the way. Kelsey was always there to bounce ideas off of and give me advice.

    On the day of our wedding, my husband and I were so thankful to have Kelsey! She kept everyone on schedule and made sure that everything looked perfect. I could not have planned my wedding without Kelsey by my side!
