We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found Kelly, The Wedding Ninja, early in our wedding planning process. Kelly's assistance throughout the entire journey was nothing short of exceptional, and she made the entire experience remarkably easy for us.
From the moment we brought Kelly on board, she demonstrated her expertise by setting up a Google Drive to organize all our documents and contracts, ensuring that every detail was in its place. She went above and beyond in reviewing our contracts, making certain that we were getting everything we needed and nothing less.
Kelly's involvement didn't stop at paperwork. She joined us for a crucial walkthrough of our wedding venue, where her professionalism and attention to detail truly shone. Her role as the "rehearsal pro" was evident as she skillfully ran our rehearsal, putting us at ease for the big day.
True to her name, Kelly was like a wedding ninja on our special day. She had a remarkable ability to be both everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Whenever we needed her, she would appear, ready to handle any situation, and then seamlessly disappear, assuring us that she'd be there for the next potential "emergency."
Words truly fall short when it comes to expressing just how amazing Kelly was in making our wedding day a resounding success. Her dedication, expertise, and remarkable ability to anticipate and address our needs made all the difference. We are immensely grateful for her role in creating the perfect wedding day we had always dreamed of.The Wedding Ninja's reply:
Thanks guys! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and we are wishing you all the best in your future together. -

I have nothing but good things to say about "The Wedding Ninja". Kelly did an amazing job from the early planning stages to coordinating the day of event. Nothing within her control went wrong that day and she was amazing at getting everyone in line. I imagine coordinating an event like this is a bit like "herding cats" and she did a great job. Kelly was also fantastic at rolling with the punches outside of our control. One example that comes to mind was my best man lost his boutonniere right as we got to the location. Within minutes Kelly had crafted a replacement one, in our colors from one of the decorations and what looked like electrical tape? Regardless, it looked fantastic and the show went on. Kelly was also incredible with the young kids in our wedding party. Our flower girls were definitely excited during the rehearsal and day of and she managed to get them where they needed to be. I could go on, but to summarize, if you want to feel comfortable knowing that whatever happens on the day of, your wedding coordinator will roll with it, keep the day moving, and reduce your stress levels majorly I'd go with The Wedding Ninja.The Wedding Ninja's reply:
Thank Bradford it WAS electrical tape! haha So happy for you and Alycia wishing you all the best things in the future -

Kelly was so wonderful to work with. We started working with Kelly several months before our wedding, and we without a doubt could not have done it without her. We live in Florida, but had our wedding in Baltimore, and Kelly was a fantastic resource regarding vendors, decor, logistics, you name it! She was so easy to work with as well as professional. You could tell she had a lot of experience doing what she does. On the day of the wedding, I saw her maybe once before I walked down the aisle, but that's because she was running around behind the scenes making sure everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish (which it was!). She worked so well with all my vendors and I could not have asked for a better support system and coordinator in Kelly. My husband and I definitely recommend her for your wedding day!The Wedding Ninja's reply:
It was so wonderful working with you both and I can say with confidence I will NEVER forget your wedding with its amazing conga line and Rage Against the Machine jam -

Not only was Kelly our day of coordinator, she was also our officiant. We trusted her so much that we pretty much handed her a couple boxes of décor and said "go for it". Everything was perfect and turned out better than I imagined. Having her officiate was so easy too! I put together an outline and some verbiage I wanted to use in the ceremony and Kelly pulled it all together. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! If there was an issue, we didn't notice it or wasn't obvious to us. Entrusting Kelly to coordinate and officiate our wedding was the best decision ever. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day with friends and family. Thank you, Kelly! -

Kelly was amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process, especially through all through all the challenges that the pandemic threw our way. We had a backyard/DIY wedding, and at first I thought we didn't need a day-of-coordinator, but boy was I wrong. I'm not sure we could've pulled it off without Kelly. She and her assistant were there from start to finish, and basically I blinked and everything was set up perfectly! She coordinated with all the vendors and other helpers so we didn't have to do a thing. At the end of the night, everything was put away and we didn't have to worry about that part, which was great. So glad we hired her, because it allowed us to enjoy our night and not worry about everything else. For those of you who, like me, are hesitant about hiring a DOC or not sure you need one, trust me - you do! Highly recommend!The Wedding Ninja's reply:
Thanks guys we had a blast with you for those two YEARS haha! So glad we made it through and you had the amazing wedding you both deserve. Can't wait to see the photos :-) -

Callie K. Sent on 05/11/2021SO thankful for Kelly!
Hiring Kelly was one of the best, if not THE best decision we made when planning our wedding. We were originally planning for May 2020 with 150 guests. When we had to reschedule (twice!) due to COVID, everything was seamless. Kelly helped coordinate dates and new plans with our vendors which was such a relief to me. With so many changes in plans, I definitely felt a bit of burnout while planning-Kelly always kept me on schedule without being pushy. Every time we talked on the phone a huge sense of calmness came over me. We ended up rescheduling our wedding as a 30 person event at an Airbnb. The day of our wedding there was a huge traffic incident that some of our early morning vendors and my bridesmaids got stuck in for nearly 4 hours. Kelly immediately called me to reassure me that the day would still go on, and called all of our vendors to coordinate. Even though we had a 3 hour delay to the start of the day that could have been very stressful, we amazingly stayed on schedule! During the event, if there was any drama, I had absolutely no idea because Kelly was on top of it. We also hired Kelly’s assistant, Katy, to shuttle vendors because the parking situation was a little tricky at the Airbnb. Not only did she shuttle vendors, but she brought us the bouquets from the florist and helped with my train before the ceremony (and SO many other things that I didn’t see because I was enjoying myself!) Kelly and Katy were a jack of all trades the day-of. I completely forgot about so many of the behind the scene details because it was just so seamless. We truly got to enjoy our day. Quote of the night from multiple friends and family: “Kelly is on top of it-she’s a badass” Do yourself a favor and hire Kelly-who’s to say what could happen while planning a wedding. A global pandemic and a hostage situation causing a bay bridge closure were certainly not on my list! ;)The Wedding Ninja's reply:
Best review ever! Haha hostage situations pandemic hail storm we got it! You guys were cool customers through it all. -

Kelly is simply amazing. Period. Hire her and you won't have to worry about your big day, you'll just get to enjoy it. :)
We met her at a wedding vendor open house. I noticed her full tattoo sleeves, and was intrigued. When I walked up to her, she handed me a bag that said "Engaged AF"... I was like, this girl gets me! LOL... We had just started looking at wedding vendors and were so worried that everyone would be stuffy and impersonal, but Kelly is a breath of fresh air! I have no doubt that she can work with any type of bride, any where, any time. She was so warm and down to earth, but also 110% professional and knowledgeable. All my family and friends loved her, and several commented that she really was a ninja the night of the wedding, seemingly everywhere all at once! She was ON IT! And she's not just a "day of" coordinator- she worked with us all throughout the process. She kept us SO organized with her spreadsheets and floor plans! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was hell, no doubt about it, but we could never had done it without her. She kept us sane, answered alllll of my constant worries with poise and put me at ease, and juggled every twist we sent her way. I can't sing her praises high enough. We love you, Kelly! Thank goodness for her. :) -

As a COVID bride, I was unsure how, if at all, I was going to get married in 2020. Kelly was understanding, compassionate, skilled, knowledgable, and about every other human quality you could possibly want out of a coordinator and person during these trying times. She helped us get our June wedding on track for October in a matter of days once we made the decision to postpone. Then, in early August, my last surviving grandparent was diagnosed with late stage cancer. I was a mess, had no idea what to do, and was devastated at the thought of my grandfather not being able to make it to our wedding day (especially since it was supposed to happen months ago). I called Kelly, and when I say she went above and beyond, I mean she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help us push our wedding up to September on a date in-between my grandfather's treatments. And let me tell you - it was magical. I seriously cannot imagine a better way to have gotten married. Kelly literally took care of everything that day, entertained about a dozen calls from me in the 3 days before the big day, and made it so that on the day of the wedding, I was stress-free and able to enjoy the sheer fact that I was getting married and that my grandfather would be able to witness it in person. So, from our 200 person wedding in a big church to a 20 person micro-wedding in my backyard, Kelly helped me achieve the impossible of getting married in 2020 and she did it with flying colors. We are so grateful to Kelly for all her help, expertise, and aweseome-ness. She gets 100/5 stars. Thank you Kelly! -

Kiki G. Sent on 11/21/2019Kelly earned her title of"wedding Ninja" hands down!
As the MOG Kelly kept us all informed and helped with the entire planning process. Her spreadsheets, schedules, floor plans and timelines are on point, & professional. Her day of execution made us not have to worry about anything knowing she took care of everything from rehearsal to set up with having the day running smoothly with all the vendors and telling everyone where to go and what to do so we could sit back and enjoy everything. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Kelly for your wedding! It was the best decision that the MOB made for us and exceeded everyone's expectations with the final outcome being a dream wedding for my son and his bride fit for a prince & princess!!!! A+++++++++ service! -

Emily P. Sent on 01/21/2020Hire. Kelly. For your wedding.
When I got engaged, the advice I was given repeatedly from my friends who had been married recently was to hire a day-of-coordinator. I heard from people who did it and were thrilled, and people who didn't and really wished they had. So when I ran into Kelly at a vendor open house and thought "she seems like she knows what she's doing, and she's funny," that was enough for us to hire her almost on the spot. She then spent the next 8 months completely blowing my expectations out of the water--even before the "day of" the wedding, she had multiple hour long phone conferences with me to go through everything from vendor choices to (practically) a minute-by-minute schedule of the ceremony, she answered every little tiny question I had, and kept track of everything in a killer google worksheet. She came to our final venue walkthrough and helped us make a plan with our venue coordinator for EVERYTHING--she was able to ask and answer questions I never in a million years would have thought of.
Her work and presence on the wedding weekend was, of course, completely indispensable--she helped us through the nitty gritty details of the ceremony during the rehearsal, and gave everyone super clear instructions on what we would be doing. The day of the wedding she not only got all the various things that we brought for the ceremony/reception where they needed to go (it's amazing how much stuff you end up bringing, even for a wedding that is NOT super DIY!), she ensured that every single person what where they needed to be every minute of the night. It was truly as if she multiplied herself and was everywhere at once! As the bride, I didn't have to deal with a THING--I just got to completely and totally enjoy the day. Actually, there are probably a thousand things she did that day and before that I couldn't even list, because I didn't even know they happened! She is really that good.
In conclusion, I'm a both a planner by nature and a person who takes pride in paying attention to and having a hand in small details--and I can say completely and totally that I never could have planned and executed what was 100% my dream wedding without Kelly. (Also, tbh, she IS really funny).The Wedding Ninja's reply:
Thanks Emily & Joe! Also I am so happy you think I'm funny (enough to say it twice) which had me grinning ear to ear while reading this. There is no stressful wedding situation that can't be diffused with a Nicholas Cage Meme ;-)
All the best to both of you!

If you are on the fence, HIRE KELLY!
I resisted the hiring of Kelly at first just due to it being an added cost, but no single expense was as beneficial, stress reducing, and SMART of an idea as having Kelly manage the planning and the execution of my wedding. It was literally perfect in every way. Every vendor we spoke to breathed a sigh of relief when we mentioned that Kelly was involved with our wedding.. the decision to hire her was as close to a guarantee for a flawless event as you can get! I only found out AFTER my wedding of some near-misses just because Kelly was so on top of things.l and concerned with my and my husbands experience. For example, I was vehemently against a garter “dive” up my dress. Unfortunately someone may have missed the memo on how against that I was and placed a chair in the center of the dance floor. Kelly noticed that before I did (I found out after) and RAN to remove it and redirect the scenario quickly and efficiently, with no hurt feelings. She was on FIRE the whole night making sure every detail was perfect. Her support and getting us on track was SO necessary due to us all working full time, managing the deployments of myself and my husband, and just generally being super busy. Don’t even think twice about hiring Kelly. Her vendor recommendations, task direction and event management expertise saved us so much stress during the planning and the event itself. It was truly a pleasure working with her! Thank you, Kelly, for making my wedding so special!!! -

Jared W. Sent on 11/25/2019Best Day of Coordinator...Ever.
Kelly is basically a mix between Wonder Woman and the Flash, and then multiply that by a billion. She is absolutely incredible! She is super knowledgeable about everything weddings; from the flow of events, to the placement of design elements, to setting up design elements, to mitigating last minute hiccups, to keeping everything moving along, to getting everyone where they need to be, etc.
We had our wedding at the Cloisters Castle and we 100% could not have done it without Kelly. She is seriously a ninja, she was re-purposing things I didn't even know we could re purpose, and she only contacted me once the day of the wedding because of slight issue with the centerpieces, but by the time she called me she had already figured out the solution. She has done tons of events at the castle which really helped us feel confident about choosing her as our day of coordinator.
Once the event was over, she, along with the staff, packed up everything to make it super easy to pack into our cars to take back home. I can't express how important it is to have a day of coordinator to set everything up and keep everything flowing along, but if you have any room in the budget at all, she is as necessary as anything else you could possible spend money on. If you're still deciding who to choose as a day of coordinator, or if you need one at all, look no further, pick Kelly, you need her!
