    Don't look further, Kismet is your pick!

    Kelly is everything and more that we could have asked for in a wedding planner. What stood out was her skillful way to always make our ideas be heard while coupling them with actionable solutions. We were always impressed by how she remembered small details and created thoughtful responses or solutions to them even at times when we forgot. Moreover, despite her empathy, she was able to always keep us moving along and on track. This is also largely due to her impeccable organization skills and foresight to give us an ample heads up to anticipate tasks and timelines.

    Overall, she holds herself with tremendous poise, professionalism and open-mindedness. She's an extremely hard worker who is not...

    Incredible! So supportive, kind, organized, professional and friendly!

    Kelly and her Kismet team

    Hiring Kelly from Kismet was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Kelly made us feel confident, understood, and completely at ease. Her attention to detail, kindness and patience, and genuine passion for what she does transformed our ideas into a magical day that exceeded our expectations.

    Every step of the planning process was seamless. She was always organized, responsive, and one step ahead, making sure every detail was covered. Whether it was sourcing the perfect vendors, keeping us on schedule, or handling last-minute hiccups with grace, Kelly took care of everything so we could focus on enjoying our special day.

    On the big...

    We hired Kelly 3 months before our wedding date. She swooped in and made all the difference for us!

    The day we found Kelly and Kismet Event Co. we finally started to enjoy wedding planning. She was a breath of fresh air and melted our worries away. She guided us through the entire process, catering to what we actually cared about and helped us with the the things we thought we didn't care about that we really should care at least a little bit about. Any question we had, or little detail we asked about, Kelly had the answer/supplies. She saved us so much time and stress! The entire team and all of her preferred vendors were so wonderful and made our day pure perfection. We probably need to have another wedding so we can keep hanging out with her!

    Rosie is a dream!

    Where to even begin with Rosie. Rosie is perfection. I got SO many compliments on our wedding, and so many of them were things like “Wow, that was the smoothest-run wedding I’ve ever been part of,” or, “That was one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to,” or, simply “Your planner is amazing.”

    One of the best decisions we made was hiring Rosie, because every other decision sort of cascaded off of that. She helped us choose our vendors, and made sure all the contracts were iron-clad so there were no surprises during the day. She brings a wealth of experience to help guide in the process, from helping us choose our tablescape and décor to helping...

    Perfect Execution

    Kismet made my dream wedding a reality. Everything was absolutely perfect and more than we could have ever thought possible. We recieved so many compliments on the flow of the event, and Rosie structured the speeches, cake cutting and first dances in a way that provided for uninterrupted dancing afterwards. The wedding weekend could not have happened without Kismet, and we are truly, truly grateful. I honestly don’t know how people have weddings without a planner, let alone an amazing one like Rosie. My husband and I felt like we were able to attend our own party and celebrate with all of our guests. Rosie had everything covered and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you Kismet for making the best weekend of our lives possible!

    Best wedding planner ever

    100/10 rating!!!! I cannot recommend Kismet Event Co enough!! I literally am so sad my wedding is over because that means no more wedding planning calls lol! I initially found Kismet through our approved vendor list from our venue. I reached out to a few of the wedding planners and Kelly from Kismet was the first to respond. The initial information she sent was concise, clear, and let me know right away the different service levels and the associated costs. We hopped on a quick introduction call and I was sold! From our first call, Kelly made me feel like I was going to be in the best hands for all of my wedding planning needs. Their extensive background...

    Above and Beyond

    Kelly absolutely killed it and thanks to her we had the wedding weekend of our dreams. She struck the right balance between being friendly and assertive throughout the process, and willingly picked up all the loose ends without asking questions. She had to deal with a few audibles the day of the wedding, and handled it all behind the scenes allowing my wife and I to soak in the day without stress. Highly recommend working with Kelly and co.

    Couldn't have done it alone!

    Hiring Kelly at Kismet as a “month-of” planner was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had her come in pretty last minute because we wanted to do all of the planning but needed someone to bring all the details together and make our wedding feel special and thoughtful for all our guests. Wow, I just didn’t know I needed her so badly. Right away, she got in touch with all our vendors and looked through all our contracts to make sure we weren’t missing anything. Sure enough, she caught some things we’d missed altogether in our rental order. And we loved the playbook timeline that brought all the details together in one place and made it...

    Look no further!

    My now husband and I interviewed about 10 different wedding planners. Rosie was the last one that we spoke to because after speaking with her, we new that she was the right wedding planner for us. She made the whole process so easy! She was professional, responded quickly to my many emails/texts and gave me a ton of recommendations. We got married on a private vineyard that had never had a big event before. Rosie took care of creating the layout for the day and figuring out the flow of the wedding. Throughout the whole process, anytime I was feeling stressed about something related to planning our wedding she would always reassure me and/or find a solution to whatever...

    Rosie is the GOAT!!!

    The short version:
    Rosie is the most phenomenal planner and person to work with, and you absolutely need to hire her for your wedding!

    The long version:
    When we were first planning our wedding, my (then) fiancée and parents didn’t think a wedding planner was necessary because our venue came with a venue coordinator. Luckily, I convinced them that a wedding planner was a must. Fast forward to after the wedding: my (now) husband and parents said that Rosie was the best decision we made while planning our wedding!

    I don’t know where to even begin with Rosie! I guess I’ll start by saying she is proactive and organized when it comes to wedding planning,...

    Loved working with Rosie!

    Our wedding was the best weekend, and it would not have been possible without Rosie's expert guidance and attention to detail. Thank you so much!

    Rosie advised on many aspects we would have never thought of -- seating arrangement, procession order, and the day's flow. The table arrangements, vendor coordination, and ceremony were all seamless. We especially appreciate the small touches of support -- the parking signs, parasols (which thankfully we didn't need), John's bowtie, my cozy blanket, the mead flutes right after the ceremony, your keeping us on track, and the extra prayer that kept the rain at bay.

    All of our guests felt so well taken care of, and they had a blast. We think the catering staff felt supported and appreciated as well. Rosie made us guests at our own wedding.

    Wedding Planner for March 2022

    Incredible! We can’t think of enough wonderful things to say about Rosie! She truly was a gift, professional, creative, organized, and above all a solid human! Working with her was the best choice we made while planning our wedding. Because of her we were able to be apart of our wedding! We can’t rave enough about her and her services!

    The Perfect Day!

    Everyone says "something will go wrong on your wedding day, just go with the flow", well not with Rosie and her team! Our wedding day was flawless! Rosie made sure all the details were handled to perfection. The planning process was highly organized and streamlined. Rosie provided help where we needed it and deadlines along the way to make the million details feel completely manageable. Overall couldn't have asked for a better planner.

    Best experience!

    I cannot speak Rosie's praises enough! I truly cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been like without Rosie & team helping plan such a perfect day. She is professional, experienced, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was clear about pricing and expectations, and made suggestions that made the day go on without a hitch. She spent countless nights on the phone with everyone from my mom to grandma helping us plan for a wedding weekend filled with activities for out of town guests and family.

    Kismet is the best!

    We had an amazing experience working with Kelly and the Kismet team and felt supported throughout the wedding planning process and the day of the event. Kelly provided us with helpful planning resources and created a planning site to keep us on track and organized. We felt confident going into the wedding day that the Kismet team could handle anything that came their way. Even with the surprise rain and last minute changes needed, they stayed calm and we had the best time at our wedding. We highly recommend Kelly for all your wedding planning needs!

    It was kismet!

    Where to begin? My fiancé and I were lucky enough to find Kelly/Kismet Event Co. at the beginning of our short (less than 5 month) wedding planning journey (sprint). I'm so happy we did! Kelly immediately provided a sense of calm and the boost of confidence we needed to commit to our date and move forward. We agreed that Kismet's expertise was just what we needed, and signed on for the Sidekick plan (partial planning). Throughout the process Kelly became a friend and confidante, relieved so much stress, never lost sight of our wish list, and helped bring our vision to life. Her network is fantastic, it was so helpful to review a curated list of vendors and price...

    Amazing experience!

    Kelly and her team are absolutely amazing. We did the partial planning package-- but she still met with us once a month even before the full service took over. This was so helpful and not something I saw other vendors provide. The Kismet team was so helpful and always wanted to support me and help me make my vision a reality (even when I didn't really know what I wanted!). On wedding day they made everything seamless and took excellent care of me, my husband, wedding party and my family. I heard nothing but compliments from everyone that interacted with them at the wedding events. I cannot recommend Kismet enough-- felt like dear friends by the time wedding day came around.

    Exceptional Wedding Planning Experience in Healdsburg, CA with Rosie Monson!

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Rosie Monson from Honey and Vine Events to plan our daughter's wedding in Healdsburg, CA, and I couldn't be happier with the incredible job she did. Rosie's exceptional skills, attention to detail, and genuine dedication made the entire wedding planning process a breeze.

    Rosie's organization and efficiency were truly outstanding. She expertly managed timelines, budgets, and vendor coordination, allowing us to relax and enjoy the planning journey and most importantly the event. Her professionalism and responsiveness were impressive, she promptly addressed any concerns or questions we had along the way. It was evident that Rosie genuinely cared about creating a memorable and stress-free experience for us.

    Rosie is the absolute best! We got the full package and we were so so happy that we did. The day went seamlessly, everything was so organized and Rosies communication was superb. If you are on the fence GO WITH ROSIE. She is the best. If you are on the fence between month-of coordinator and full-time, go with the full-time it is 100% worth and makes the wedding planning and contract organizing way less stressful and more organized. We had the best day of our lives!

    Rosie and team made our wedding day a breeze!

    Rosie and Sheila were a joy to work with. They made us feel prepared in the months leading up to our wedding and they made the day of a breeze, handling all the details and executing everything with professionalism and a friendly smile. We did a custom package that included reviewing vendor agreements, site visit, timeline, day of coverage with an assistant and a ton of extras. Would absolutely recommend Rosie and team to any couple looking for an experienced and efficient wedding planner.

    Rosie at Honey & Vine is a dream to work with!

    Rosie is a wedding planner *extraordinaire*. She is a pleasure to work with, and makes the process fun and stress-free. She is kind, super responsive, and proactive. However small or large the request, she doesn't make you feel like you are asking too much.

    And on the day of, she made us so relaxed and taken care of. Everything looked flawless. The florals, the table set-up, the ceremony area. The sequence of everything in the schedule flowed so seamlessly. We were able to fully enjoy the wedding and not worry about a thing - and eat everything, including the dessert! - thanks to Rosie's expert planning, attention to detail, and execution.

    Rosie will save you...

    Book Rosie Immediately

    The best decision we made throughout the whole planning process was hiring Rosie. Our perfect day would not have been possible without her. She helped bring every single vision (big or small) to life. She is extremely detail oriented and an absolute joy to work with! Her working relationships with vendors in wine country are unrivaled and our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the food was. She helped guide us through the timeline, reviewing each one of our vendor contracts and offering up stellar advice. Do yourself a favor and hire, Rosie!

    Step 1: Hire Rosie!

    We hired Rosie for our daughter’s Sonoma County wedding. Rosie is a fabulous wedding planner and a wonderful partner for such a personal event. She was always positive and jumped in to help, even in areas that weren’t necessarily her responsibility. Rosie was a perfect mix of providing great ideas and suggestions on areas where we were less knowledgeable, while also deferring to us on anything we felt particularly strongly about. Our wedding had inherent complicated logistics that involved 3 days of events, shuttle buses and establishing a wedding venue out in the field on our property. We hosted a similar event on the east coast when we lived there for our older daughter and the comparison of how...

    Stellar Wedding Planner!

    Rosie is the best and was absolutely essential in making our wedding a roaring success! Right from the start, she helped us get organized and on track for the many months of planning ahead. She reviewed every contract and coordinated with every vendor to make sure everyone was on board and ready far before our event. She thought of every detail and made sure all plans were in place so that we could give her the reins and just enjoy our event! And WOW did she pull it off in spectacular fashion! I had heard from all my friends that there would be some minor or major disasters at any big event, but she actually did so well that...
