Best wedding planner in KC
Sarah, Brooke and the rest of the QE team made the wedding planning process smooth, easy and honestly SO fun. I cannot imagine doing any of the planning without them. My wedding day was flawless thanks to them! Not to mention, it was far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I wish I could take credit for some of it- but honestly, they did it all and wow, they outdid themselves. Thank you QE for throwing the biggest, baddest, most beautiful party of my life. -

We loved working with the Quintessential Events team. They helped guide us through the entire wedding planning process and brought up things we would have never thought of. Sarah also has great connections with local wedding vendors. Makes planning and coordinating with vendors seamless! -

Amazing Experience
I knew from the very first call with Sarah and her team that she would be my wedding planner. I had a very vague idea of what I wanted and things that I liked or was interested in. Sarah turned my string of ideas into a beautiful and extremely tailored vision. We had the most epic, well planned and incredibly organized wedding weekend! Every detail was chosen with care and the knowledge her and her team brought to the table was second to none. The entire weekend went by so smoothly; I can’t express how grateful I am to have had such an amazing experience. 10/10 I would recommend Quintessential Events and I can’t wait to use them again for an anniversary party! -

Quintessential Events = Perfection!
Sarah & Brooke were great to work with! Everything on our special day was perfect, and they were really excellent at piecing together my random bits of a vision and making it one, coherent piece. We got married in a massive space at Arrowhead stadium, but they made it seem intimate yet still spacious. Additionally, I have a very chaotic work schedule, but they did a great job keeping me organized and on-track during the planning phase and hooked us up with A+ vendors. Added bonus - they're both super fun, too! With all the hours going into wedding planning, it's nice to have fun, chill people to do it with. -

Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding
Sarah and her team are absolutely PHENOMENAL! Sarah understood how we wanted our wedding to be a unique experience for all of our guests and made the perfect day possible. Sarah made wedding planning super easy by breaking up everything into smaller tasks. She had great recommendations for other vendors that were able to bring our specific vision to life. She is extremely communicative and organized. Planning was a breeze with her. The execution of our day was even more perfect. If our day had any hiccups, my husband and I were unaware as everything was handled for us by Sarah and her team and we could just focus on enjoying our day. Everyone on the team we worked with throughout the planning process and on the day of were professional and enjoyable to work with. I cannot recommend Quintessential Events more! -

Sarah and her team are the best in the biz!
Our wedding would not have been what it was without Sarah and her amazing team. From the early planning stages, to the month leading up & weekend of the wedding, Sarah and her team made everything so fun, seamless & as stress free as possible. They answered every question, provided expertise & truly brought our vision to life in every single way. People always tell you to be prepared for “something to go wrong” on your wedding day, but with Quintessential, that won’t happen. So thankful for how much they poured into our wedding - couldn’t recommend them more! -

The best decision we made for our wedding!!
We highly recommend Sarah and her team! Sarah was amazing throughout the wedding planning process. She made the daunting task of planning a large wedding (during a pandemic) manageable and fun! She is so well connected with all of the best vendors in the KC area and will help you find an incredible team for your big day. We never felt pressured to spend more than what I was in our budget. She helped make our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever dreamed! -

I cannot overstate how grateful we are for Sarah and her team at Quintessential Events. My husband and I paid for a "partial" planning package (periodic check-ins in the months leading up to our wedding, with her team fully taking over one month prior, and running everything day-of) in 2019, in hopes of celebrating our wedding in May of 2020. COVID-19 forced us to postpone our ceremony and reception twice. Sarah helped us make the choice both times, responding to our anxiety and disappointment with compassion and pragmatism. Her team managed the logistical challenges of booking and re-booking countless vendors, and refused to charge us a cent. As we began working towards our third date, she guided us through every decision, respecting our priorities, budgets, and concerns. Leading up to the event, we were free of the anxiety we had expected because we knew that our event was in good hands. The QE team welcomed us to our venue on wedding day with bright smiles, and took care of every aspect of the setup, leaving us to relax with our wedding parties. We were dazzled by the elegance of a venue that had been empty only hours before. Every minute of the day ran smoothly, and if there were any problems, we never heard about them. Our ceremony and reception were made beautiful by expert details, and our guests ate, drank, and danced the night away. My husband and I both agree that hiring Quintessential Events was well-worth our money. She genuinely cares about my husband and I, and she put so much hard work into ensuring that we had the wedding of our dreams. Take it from a happy bride: hire Sarah, you will be glad you did. -

Truly a Magical Team to Work With!
Oh my goodness, I really don’t know where to even begin. I genuinely still miss the entire Quintessential Team to this day, and my wedding was almost a year ago. The day after my wedding, I truly had a bittersweet feeling of marrying the love of my life and having just had the dreamiest day of my life, but I also knew that I would not be working with the QE Team anymore who made my “dream day” come to life.
If you are looking for a sign to hire a Wedding Planner, a Partial Planner, or an Event Manager… THIS IS IT! You may think that you can handle everything, but I am here to tell you (from someone who designed and made her own Save The Dates, Invitations, Menu Cards, and Seat Cards), that you simply cannot.
My husband and I were lucky enough to have met the QE team at a “Popped” event. Following the event, my husband (who was the type of Fiancé who said “I don’t care” to almost everything… Brides, you know what I mean), but he was adamant that we worked with the QE team. We both could not stop talking about how much we enjoyed them as people, and the love and care they put into their work.
My husband and I ended up choosing Quintessential’s “Event Management” package. We had already done much of the planning and prepping on our own, so we personally felt that it was the best option for us. Little did we know how many little details we hadn’t thought about when our 6-weeks out meetings with Christina started. She was truly AMAZING at helping us stay on track. She handled all communication, management, design, and vendor partnerships for us. Christina also made both me and my husband personalized check-lists to help us prep for everything as far as rehearsal dinner, family brunch, and the day of.
It’s not wedding planning if something goes wrong with a vendor just a few weeks out, right? My husband and I ended up having our transportation services fall through, and we were in constant communication with Christina who was the one who found us an amazing service almost immediately. Speaking of things going wrong… On the day of our wedding, it had been non-stop raining. Well, we had planned for an outdoor ceremony. Yes, I know that’s what you plan for just in case, but Christina was truly so calm and reassuring, while constantly checking the weather. Because of Christina, I was not worried, and she ended up pushing back the ceremony a few minutes, hustling with the vendors, as well as Brooke to set up the displays outside, and everything was magical.
I genuinely could write an entire novel on how amazingly kind, hardworking, patient, and knowledgeable the QE team is. Their reviews and work speak for themselves, but truly, if you want to make sure that your big day runs smoothly, leading right up to the end of your wedding night and returning to your hotel room picked up and tidied, with everything personal from the wedding packed up into your car… The QE team are who you want to work with. I truly can’t imagine a couple finding any other team who goes above and beyond more, than the Quintessential ladies.

If there was a way to add 5 more stars, we would!
If there was a way to add 5 more stars, we would! Kansas City is lucky to have such talent and patience as Sarah and her team. Sarah not only made our vision come true, but was able to create an experience with such attention to detail, our guests were even asking how it was possible. Quintessential Events has forever left a mark in our lives and in our hearts. We will for sure be utilizing their talents again next time we plan a celebration. Would recommend 100 times over. -

Maggie C. Sent on 08/30/2022The only wedding planners you should ever consider!
The best thing I ever did was have Christina, Brooke, and the QE team as my wedding planners! I cannot thank them all enough for making our wedding such a perfect day. The detail they put into getting to know their couples is unmatched. They stood by us during the constant changing COVID situations and always were available to answer questions or provide reassurance. The day of timeline they create for everyone is truly the key to the day running so smoothly. They found the perfect balance of coordinating the vendors, while still keeping me in the loop and made me feel a part of all the plans. And to top it all off they are the kindest and sweetest team who treat everyone involved in and at the wedding with such love and respect! You won't find a better wedding planning team that QE! -

Sarah of quintessential events made our Costa Rica destination wedding dreams come true. She was incredibly organized and communicative. She kindly held us accountable if we ever slacked on our end. I’ve always heard planning a wedding is a lot or “stressful”. However with Sarah, it was wonderful— dare I say, it was easy (for us)! Within a few conversations she understood our whole vibe and we could have trusted her to make any decision on our behalf! So not only was the planning beyond pleasant, but our wedding day continuously blew me away. We hadn’t seen anything about our wedding in person, from the resort, the reception venue, the flowers, food etc etc. and it was SOOO much more than we could have ever hoped for. Sarah arrived to our resort early to scope out the space and get everything in order. She made sure everything was PERFECTION. The day of, she kept everyone on schedule and we never felt rushed or wondered what to do or where to go. I constantly tell other bride-to-bes the one thing I couldn’t have gone without, after all was said and done, was a wedding planner. (specifically quintessential events.) not only was it worth every penny and then some, but for the hard work put in, and Sarah accompanying us to Costa Rica for all day of needs, the price was all too reasonable for such a priceless experience. Thank you indefinitely, Sarah!!! -

Next to saying "I do", this is the best decision I've ever made!
Look no further, you've found your wedding planner. That's it. Your work is done, the Q team has got it from here. But in all seriousness, this was hands down the best decision I could have made and you'll think so too. I was already contending with long distance wedding planning and knew I needed someone who could keep me on task and the process on track despite the distance. This was before I knew we would be doing it during a global pandemic and have to contend with a date change 35 days out. The Q team was not just our coordinators, they were our guardian angels. There is no team more organized, more capable and better respected. Every time I told a vendor I was working with Sarah and the Q team, calls were returned, options appeared on the table and they all started talking to each other. Plus, they are so dang fun, which made the planning process a lot of fun. And when we got the word that we had to change our date, they had everything re-scheduled within the day and champagne delivered right to our door (1,065 miles away). That's the kind of support you need and deserve!
My husband and I and our families think back on our wedding day and the days leading up to it and are grateful that we were able to just enjoy it and be present for it. No running around, no last minute to-dos, no "we forgot to do X!". It had all been thought of, planned for and beautifully executed. I'm not just a believer in investing in a coordinating team, I am a believer in investing in THIS team. -

Seriously the best decision made during our process was hiring Sarah! I met Sarah at a small bridal show and she was the very first vendor we booked. I was the first in my family to get married and planning is definitely not my forte—Sarah’s expertise and knowledge base are endless and she made the planning process so easy. She was incredible in helping us shape our vision and values into our dream ceremony and reception. I could not have asked for a better wedding day, her and her team pulled off every detail and ensured that our day went smoothly- even when part of my dress broke during the reception! I cannot thank Sarah enough for all the time and work she put into our wedding- she is INCREDIBLE. I would recommend her a thousand times over!
