    Could not have done it without this team!

    and her team are incredible!! Hiring a wedding planner and specifically this team was one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure that every part of our day was what we had envisioned. The day of the wedding my husband and I felt like a special guest at our own event because of how well they had managed the whole event. There was not one ounce of worry or stress we felt going into the day and not one thing went wrong! I cannot say thank you enough to everyone who put in effort to make our day something we will remember for the rest of our lives!

    Outstanding service and magical wedding

    Kaelyn is an outstanding woman. She is efficient, focused and very attentive to details. Kaelyn and her team guide you through the wedding planning process with insight and support. She listens to your questions and ideas with respect and assurance.
    If you are not using this wedding planner you are definitely missing and amazing opportunity for success. Our wedding was magical and truly flawless.

    Best Decision

    We lived out of State and hiring My Wedding Planner was one of the first things we did in the wedding planning process and probably one of the best decisions we made. Working with Kaelyn throughout the whole process made everything so easy. Her and her team provided great vendor recommendations and were always very responsive to any questions we had along the way. Kaelyn and her team also made the day of incredibly stress free and they ensured everything went smoothly even with last minute adjustments having to be made due to weather. We would highly recommend My Wedding Planner!

    Above and Beyond Service

    We live out of state while my wife and her family are from Kentucky so we wanted to have our wedding there. Being out of state we knew having a coordinator would be extra helpful. Finding Kaelyn and the My Wedding Planner team was a lifesaver! We sought Kaelyn's help initially for feasibility, and that experience went so well we knew we wanted to work with her for full coordinating services. About halfway through our planning, my wife's mother was diagnosed with cancer that changed our lives and of course our wedding plans. Kaelyn didn't blink an eye, and went above and beyond to help advise us during an incredibly difficult time and pivoted plans brilliantly. Kaelyn was so supportive during all this, I don't know how we would have gotten through the planning during this incredibly emotional time. Kaelyn and her team helped us achieve a wedding that was perfectly us, with unique requests and tastes. We are so, so grateful to have found Kaelyn and her team. When we said goodbye at the end of our reception, the first thought we had was that we were going to miss our check-ins with Kaelyn because we just enjoyed her so much.

    Above and Beyond Performance

    We cannot express our gratitude for how helpful, organized, and graceful the folks at My Wedding Planner (Lexington Event Co.) were to work with. There are very few things in life as intimate as planning a wedding; at times, it can require an "all hands on deck" effort. We cannot speak highly enough of Kaelyn Query who became our wedding planner so serendipitously, midway through our wedding plans. Kaelyn was up to the challenge, and nimble when met with obstacles. From the nuanced details to the complex, Kaelyn made our dreams come true, and allowed us to plan a party not only for marital purposes, but in celebration of those we love. Cheers to My Wedding Planner!

    Best decision we made.

    The staff with Lex Event co/My Wedding Planner was the best wedding planning decision we made. They had answers to all the questions I had throughout the planning process. The day off was remarkably stress free! Everything was done to perfection, and they even made sure we ate. Our main POC, Kaelyn, was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

    Simply the best!

    Kaelyn and her team at My Wedding Planner are the real MVP of all things wedding. I truly cannot fathom what wedding planning would have been like without them! We got married in Lexington but live in Phoenix, so her help was truly indispensable. We could not have made a better decision to use My Wedding Planner!

    Kaelyn was suggested to me by a friend who used her. After speaking with two other potential planners, we felt Kaelyn had the experience, savvy and reliability that we needed. Kaelyn does not mince words - she knows her shit and isn’t afraid to be honest. As a person who appreciates clarity, honesty and openness, Kaelyn was a perfect fit for us.

    We worked with My Wedding Planner for well over a year during our engagement, and Kaelyn was always available to assist. She kindly listened to all my TikTok-generated ideas, many of which we implemented. She kept our planning timeline on track, visited venues with us, discussed pros and cons and provided options if we didn’t like what was available. Kaelyn is incredibly well connected in the community and never came up short when we needed suggestions. She helped with rehearsal dinner, floral, makeup, hair, video, our hotel block and more!

    There truly isn’t enough space to cover all the ways Kaelyn made our wedding wonderful. We used her full service planning, so she presented vendor options, we looked them over and discussed with her, and she did all the arranging of contracts and provided payment reminders. The week of the wedding she picked up decor, retrieved and returned glassware we rented, provided emotional support, talked me off ledges, fixed fallen hair, repaired broken suspenders, adjusted our timeline when it got significantly off course, decorated, directed, handed out vendor tips, managed to keep my husband on task and I’m sure there are tons more things she did that I didn’t even notice! After the wedding she mailed in our marriage license so we had one less thing to worry about. If you want to enjoy your wedding day, you need My Wedding Planner!

    When we were first beginning wedding planning and discussing our budget, I thought: Gosh, Kaelyn’s help is a chunk of our budget, I hope it’s worth it. As time went on and the wedding grew closer and finally happened, I thought: We did not pay this woman nearly enough. She is worth her weight in gold.

    Thank you Kaelyn, Amber and all the others on the team who helped us along the way. You are all fantastic, professional, fabulous people who have a true passion for what they are doing. Working with you all was a dream. I will recommend you to everyone!

    Bonus points because Kaelyn and her business is LGBTQ+ friendly!

    Great experience!

    We loved working with Kaelyn and the My Wedding Planner team! We planned our wedding living out-of-state. Kaelyn made the planning process (and especially the day-of) as stress-free as possible. She’s great with communication and easy to work with. She is also so well-connected in the area and did an amazing job of bringing our vision to life!

    Don't sleep on Lexington Event Co.

    We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Lexington Event Company. They were thorough (every single detail), kind, helpful and made the process of planning a wedding (during a global pandemic, no less) so much easier than had we taken the task on ourselves. At the last minute we were forced to make adjustments in order to be able to proceed with our day and Kaelyn and her team did it swiftly and without stress to anyone in our party. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to their contribution to what could have been a cancelled event all together - and made it my favorite night of my life where I got to marry my best friend!

    Amazing!!!

    Where to even start?! I never thought I would need a wedding planner. I am an organized person and had many friends who had gotten married who could help me… but I was WRONG!! If you are looking for wedding planner look no further! From the first time we met Kaelyn we knew we had to have her. She knew the venue so well and how to set the day up to make it flow best. She read all contract and caught items that I would have missed, met with us many times as we needed, and we have a blast planning with her! THEN Covid hit and I was even MORE happy to have her. Whether if it was her having a hard conversation with the venue or just keeping me sane, she was always there for us!! Come wedding day her and her team where on it. We were on schedule for the entire day, they set décor up and handled all the venues for us! We had guest asking who she was after because they noticed her professionalism and work ethic, they made the wedding flow perfectly! We can’t thank you enough and I am trying to think of what party I can throw next so we can work together again!! Thank you again Kaelyn and team!!

    Superb 10/10

    Kaelyn and her team are top notch. They are personable, organized, and so very helpful. I cant rave on them enough. Our big day was not stressful at all because we knew we were in very good hands. Investing in a wedding planner was the best thing we did during our wedding planning venture.

    Highly Recommend!

    Kaelyn and her crew are absolutely outstanding! She made the entire wedding planning process so much easier. We had a TON of obstacles with postponing and venue changes- she was right there for it all! She made the day of set up and take down stress free. Can not recommend them / Kaelyn enough!

    Coordinator

    Kaelyn and her team were nothing short of amazing! Best decision we made in planning this wedding. Due to the pandemic we had challenges and changes and Kaelyn navigated them all for us with grace and optimism. She created a timeline that was a work of art and got everyone to the dance floor which is what we wanted. Her work ethic is second to none. She handled last minute issues I didnt have to worry about. In short as MOB I got to put my phone away and enjoy this once in a lifetime day with my daughter and that is priceless!

    Thank you, LexEffect!

    Kaelyn and the LexEffect team are incredible! From organization and execution, they went above and beyond. We had most of our vendors in place when we started working with LexEffect, but they took us to the finish line with easy, matter-of-fact communication and very little stress. In fact, they repeatedly did much more than we asked (or, frankly, than our contract anticipated), so they offered a tremendous value. We held our wedding at my in-laws' home, which, in and of itself, had the makings of a stressful situation. LexEffect, however, planned and executed every detail so that it felt like we were instead at a full-service wedding venue. Even my in-laws were at ease! Thank you, thank you, LexEffect!

    I'm so incredibly thankful for the hard work Laura and Maddy did to make our wedding day so perfect! They thought of every last detail and made the process easy and stress-free. They were extremely professional, and replied almost immediately to any questions or concerns I or my family had. On the day of the event, I didn't have to worry about a thing! I was able to relax and enjoy spending time with my bridal party while they took care of fine details. LexEffect was one of my favorite parts of my big day, and I would highly recommend their services!

    Many, many thanks to Kaelyn and her team. I cannot say enough wonderful things-- as an out of town bride, she set me- and my mother at ease (and that was no easy task!). Extremely organized and excellent communication-- I cannot recommend her enough. She worked her magic behind the scenes and made for a seamless and polished wedding day. She and her team went above and beyond - and handled every curveball and request! We also enjoyed her team- everyone was so kind and helpful - thank you!

    Before you had a chance to ask, she's already thought of it and has taken care of it! Her professionalism and in-depth knowledge was priceless. From vendor insight to overall guidance, I truly don't know what we would have done without LexEffect-- so very much appreciated! Top-rate event planning- and a delight to work with and collaborate. They are the absolute best-- best decision I made in the planning process!!

    I have seen several reviews stating that hiring LexEffect was the best money spent toward wedding expenses, and we whole-heartedly agree! Kaelyn and her team supported us during the planning stages and throughout the entire wedding experience. Our original point of contact with LexEffect resigned about five months before the wedding, and Kaelyn took over with a seamless transition. By the time of our first meeting with her, she had totally familiarized herself with all of our details and never gave us a moment of concern. She made great suggestions, researched and rented equipment for our LA band, picked up and delivered food for our wedding party on the day of, set up the entire rehearsal dinner and reception venues per our vision, and saw to every detail. All of our vendors were coordinated through a detailed timeline, and the rentals were returned. Honestly, we didn't need to do a thing except show up and have a lot of fun. Communication, professionalism, positive attitudes, and attention to detail are major strengths. Additionally, Kaelyn and her team are true advocates for the bride and groom in every situation. I give LexEffect the highest recommendation possible.

    Hands-down, the best money we spent was hiring LexEffect for our wedding. Kaelyn and the team were a huge help throughout the entire planning process. They gave us great recommendations when we were picking vendors and were also always on call when we had questions about anything! Both families were able to completely relax and enjoy the weekend because the LexEffect team handled the flow of all events, letting us enjoy the festivities. They were also able to handle every issue that arose during the weekend (often without us evening knowing there was ever a problem.) The best event coordinators in town!

    Kaelyn and our entire experience with LexEffect was amazing and easily the best money we spent on our entire wedding process!! From the beginning, we received great advice on vendors and help making initial decisions. From there any wish we had was granted--they have an amazing artist that wrote on chalkboards for us for engagement photos & our wedding, communicated and set up all arrivals and set-up for the big day and literally handled EVERY detail, a MUST for an OCD bride! Everything went smoothly and no detail was left untouched! They also took care of a bunch of additional smaller errands such as returning the cake stand and transporting flowers to a different venue for our Sunday brunch! I cannot say enough GREAT things about LexEffect and recommend them to all!!

    I can not say enough about Christy from LexEffect. She was such an asset to us in making our wedding day so wonderful. She was completely organized and professional throughout the whole planning process and made everything so easy for me and my husband. Where she completely blew us away was with everything that she did the day of our wedding. She transformed our space into something I could never have dreamed of and the whole day went flawlessly. She was attentive to every detail and was able to allow myself and the whole wedding party and family have a great time and really focus on what the day was supposed to be about! I can not say enough about Christy and the team at LexEffect. I never thought I would have a day of coordinator but let me tell you, it was an invaluable decision!! Weddings can become expensive fairly quickly but my husband and I were beyond happy we prioritized Christy and her team in the budget. We were allowed to enjoy our wedding day from start to finish (she even cleaned everything up and broke down the space!!) and that was priceless!! Thank you again Christy!

    Christy at LexEffect was amazing, she made our wedding day run without a hiccup. She gave great advice on things in the planning stage that we hadn't even thought about for our Rehearsal and Wedding Day. I'm forever grateful for her services that allowed my mother to be relaxed and enjoy the day with me. She was a sweetheart to work with and I'm glad she was there to make sure everything we wanted happened right when we wanted it to.

    I would have never guessed in a million years that some of the most important memories I would carry with me after my wedding day would be centered around my wedding planner. Christy is absolutely perfect. Organized, thoughtful, creative, prompt, self-sacrificing (she ran out to buy us simple syrup for cocktails during the reception, because we forgot!), she is all these. As an incredibly frugal person, perhaps the highest compliment I can pay her is that she was easily the best money we spent. She made every single step painless with her organization and expertise. She saved us money elsewhere with her amazing and thrifty ideas. Do yourself a favor. Don't gamble on your coordinator. Budget for it, and get Christy, because she is magic.

    Christy made my entire planning process so simple, and was crucial the day before and the day of my wedding. There is no comparison in terms of value, professionalism, and helpfulness. At the end of the entire process, I felt like Christy was a trusted friend, and I would highly recommend her and the rest of Lex Effect to anyone looking for help in coordinating their wedding. It was easily the best expense for my event- I didn't worry about dealing with vendors, linens, setting up the day of the wedding, securing and executing the timeline, or securing staff and waiters. Christy even went above and beyond by going out to get simple syrup and oranges so that I could have an old-fashioned at the reception (those ingredients completely slipped my mind...). She was very organized, professional, and on top of everything I needed to make sure the day ran smoothly. Her services were truly essential to my wedding, and I don't know how I could have done it without her and her team. I honestly feel it was the best money I spent on the whole thing.

    Cannot say enough wonderful things about Christy and her team. I used the "day-of" coordination for my 8/15/15 wedding but got so much more. I am not the type to hire a wedding coordinator--I'm very simple and very cheap--but I'm now pushing LexEffect (and Christy) on everyone I know. She answered SO many of my questions and addressed all of my concerns during my 4 month planning periods, and went out of her way to look up information that could possibly help me--thank goodness, because I didn't know what I was doing. She made the rehearsal and actual wedding flow smoothly (even helping save our gifts and decor from a freak rainstorm) but most of all was my go-to person so I didn't have to panic about anything. Also suggested nearly all of the vendors I ended up using, and helped me save a lot of money with recommendations and good advice. Christy was absolutely essential, thank you a million times over.

    Christy was our primary day-of coordinator and she was God sent! She worked with my husband and I throughout the planning process whenever we had questions, helped created a day-of timeline and ordered and furnished our linens. She was super easy to work with, responsive to email and text and we are so happy we chose to hire her. LeAnn coordinated our rehearsal which was really helpful to have a professional guiding you and she was great! On wedding day, Christy and LeAnn put everything that I had been dreaming and planning for 22 months in to action and allowed my family and I to just focus on us on wedding day. They set up the ceremony and reception spaces, coordinated our vendors, helped coordinate photos and kept the reception moving along so nothing got missed. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies and recommend to all brides on the fence about day-of coordinators- DO IT! It is beyond worth the money!

    My review is based solely on our planner Christy Burton, From the moment we met Christy with KY Wedding Bliss, we knew she was the perfect match for us.

    We opted for the "Simple Bliss Package" which included a few meetings prior to the wedding day and Day-Of Wedding Coordination. This is great for a bride who is very organized and can handle most of the planning process. If you want to have a great wedding you really need to have a planner assist you at some point.

    The day of the wedding she was phenomenal. Anything that needed to be done was taken care of and handled by her.

    She has experience, great taste and style, she was very kind and our satisfaction was her top priority.

    Even for the most organized bride, there are many aspects you don't think about until you are experiencing them or thinking about it afterwards. Christy was the best planner and made sure no detail was overlooked.

    Started great. Ended terribly

    Like another reviewer, my terrible experience with Lexington Event Company (Lex Effect at time of hire) in large part is due to poor contingency planning on the part of Kaelyn, the owner which resulted in a lot of problems on our wedding day. When I interviewed them, Kaelyn promised that while she'd be the point of contact/main planner for us, there'd be another full-time planner working on our wedding who would jump in anytime if anything happened to Kaelyn leading up to/at the wedding. This was the main reason why we chose to hire this company.

    A few days before the wedding, we met in person to confirm all final details and to ask once again if we needed a backup guest in case she had questions during the wedding. She said (paraphrasing) That's not needed, you shouldn’t worry about that - that's why you hired us.

    Come wedding day, Kaelyn and her team showed up 2 hours late with no communication. She went right to setting things up and we didn’t see her until hours later. We had a small private ceremony (with outfit changes) planned for before the main ceremony, all of which she was not present for. Except for saying that initial hi, we did not see her again until we were lined up to walk down the aisle.

    At which point, I asked her if she had placed the wedding welcome sign that I hand painted at the ceremony location and taped X marks on the grass for the wedding party positions as she had said she would, she confirmed she had – that was not accurate. Then, right before we were to enter our reception barn, she told us she was feeling very sick and asked if it would be okay if she left us in the hands of her two interns who she said knew all of our wedding details. What followed: (1) several issues with our bar and drink service including a wrong last drink time; (2) our wedding party was instructed (by the interns) to break down the wedding until we corrected that it was LexEffect’s responsibility, delaying their departure to the after party; (3) seating arrangements (despite providing the table seating numbers in advance); and (4) several other problems that resulted in us troubleshooting problems for at least 45 minutes during the reception and causing us to miss a large chunk of time at our after party. Essentially, her interns, while very nice, were not prepared and were not informed about our wedding.

    After the wedding, when we told Kaelyn all the problems we had, she took it as us complaining about her being sick. While we felt bad that she was so sick, we were essentially left with no wedding coordinator from 7pm - midnight. The issue wasn’t that Kaelyn was sick, issues like that come up, the problem is that we were promised a specific back-up plan and the back-up plan did not exist and/or failed.

    I've resisted putting this review up for a long time, but hiring Kaelyn was the main disappointment of our wedding as issues with her and her team permeated the entire day. We had not initially budgeted for a coordinator and decided to splurge in order to make sure things went smoothly for everyone involved. In the end, we would have been so much better off not hiring anyone.

    On 12/7/16 my daughter hired Kaelyn Query of LexEffect as our wedding coordinator. We had several months worth of phone calls, emails, text messages and meetings with her. However, on the DAY of the wedding (June 3), and after being paid in full (and also tipped), Kaelyn just went missing. She never showed up, called, texted, or communicated in ANY way whatsoever until I contacted her at a later date after the wedding! As you can imagine, there were multiple mishaps; starting with the ceremony, when my husband had to cue the bridesmaids, grandparents, flower girl, etc. down the aisle. Following the ceremony, as GUESTS were carrying chairs to the reception (which was a service paid for and included in Kaelyn's contract price), I inquired a representative that she sent in her absence about Kaelyn's whereabouts and was simply told that "she had an emergency." We had a cocktail hour planned; however in her absence, there was no one available to direct guests where to go. Per Kaelyn's cad table set up plan, there were to be separate tables for gifts & guest sign in. Evidently her helpers did not have access to that information either. Approximately 2 hours into a 3 hour reception, I noticed that the guest book was covered with gifts. I took it upon myself to move gifts so that guests could actually sign in. As a result, approximately 20 of 165 guests were able to find and sign well wishes. I was also told verbally (and this item is also listed on the contract) that they would be responsible for getting leftovers to us. Again, that never happened. Lex Effect was responsible for getting all props back to us. My daughter used the engraved cake knife from my own wedding over 32 years ago. And it too, seems to have vanished. Approx. 3 weeks later, via social media, we found out what the real "emergency" was. When confronted about this, she continued to be dishonest. For these reasons, I would never recommend her services:(
