TLDR: Kelley is EVEN better than her reviews here say (and I could go on for hours). Do yourself a favor and book her. She'll make your dreams come true and you won't be sorry!
Kelley planned our February 2024 wedding in Sayulita, and it was one we and our guests will not soon forget! Kelley turned our wedding into an unforgettable experience. She turned my Pinterest board into a beautiful reality, all while staying within our budget. On the morning of, we were able to be fully present in the moment, knowing she had everything under control. She managed vendors, pulled together the decor, and ensured everyone stuck to her perfectly crafted timeline.
Throughout the planning process, her regular remote check-ins made us feel reassured everything was under control as the big day approached. She also helped organize our pre-wedding trip that allowed us to tour the venue, sample the menu, and explore the town. On top of all that incredible work, Kelley went above and beyond by coordinating our welcome party and an unforgettable day-after pool party, turning both into seamless extensions of our celebration.
Kelley is a standout choice for anyone looking to create a memorable and stress-free wedding experience. We are eternally grateful for the extraordinary memories she helped us create. For couples seeking a professional yet genuinely committed wedding planner, Kelley is the one. Our wedding was more than an event; it was an entire experiences that we will remember forever. -

We desired a four day wedding experience for our 60 guests and it was delivered in the most incredible way.Every day Kelley lined up spectacular events, with beautiful detail and ease for the guests. The tequila tasting at Oscars with music and dinner was a huge success for our rehearsal night !
Our Wedding Day was the most Beautiful and Incredible Wedding that we could have ever dreamed of. Everything was sheer perfection. The flowers, the Decor, the food, the set up.... everything was even more beautiful than imagined. I couldn't believe how incredible the altar was set up. I really couldn't believe that this was my wedding. Kelley led us to Villa Verano where we all got to celebrate this fantastic wedding bliss experience. Not a detail was missed by our dearest Kelley. Our event planner thought of everything! Kelley is truly amazing and she deserves a thousand 5 star reviews. She is the most pleasant, and professional event planner to work with. We made a best friend! She made this wedding happen despite the most difficult circumstances. She even hired a doctor to come to the wedding site so everyone could get their covid tests the day of the wedding.
Villa Verano, our Wedding Venue was beyond beautiful!The food was exceptional ! Above and beyond delicious!THe late night Taco Truck, everyone was talking about that for days :-)The mixologist that Kelley recommended was incredible !Our triple layer Passion Fruit Cake was so yummy !The fireworks were so perfect. The flowers were perfection !
All of our 60 guests said that this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to in their lives! How can this be? It was Kelley.

I cannot say enough good things about Kelley and her team for helping me plan the most perfect wedding day in the most imperfect of circumstances. Kelley not only took me on as her client but she introduced us to Carolina who was the perfect day- of coordinator. They saw my wedding day vision and made it come to life, twinkle lights, jewel toned flowers, fireworks and all. She was a big support when I wasn’t even sure if the groom would be able to make it due to unforeseen circumstances but in the end, the groom made it just in time to say yes and enjoy some tequila without a worry in the world as a married couple. You truly see the importance of a wedding planner when shit hits the fan and I am so thankful I had Kelley to lean on during the wedding process. She Thank you so much guys- it would not have been as beautiful without you!
P.S. She also had the best hookups for the most delicious catering of Mexican Food (Nayarta Catering) and music (Black Sheep Vallarta) who kept our party dancing all night 🙏🏽 -

Kelley is an incredibly talented individual. She is organized, well-connected and has a calming presence that makes it easy to trust her expertise. She helped my husband and I plan the destination wedding of our dreams!!! She was very attentive and responsive when I first reached out to her with questions. With her help, our guests partook in what went down as the wedding of the century! Lol Weeks and days leading up to the wedding, as the bride to be, I got asked so many times whether I was nervous or anxious about the wedding and every time I was able to honestly say that I wasn’t nervous at all. I fully trusted Kelley’s expertise and was pleasantly satisfied with the way that our wedding turned out. Everything from our venue, to the decor, catering, music, mariachi, fireworks etc turned out better than we imagined! If you are considering a wedding planner for your wedding in Puerto Vallarta, look no further. Kelley is your best bet! -

Bryanna R. Sent on 05/05/2022She is incredible at her job! She is more than a wedding planner!
I loved my experience working with Kelley on a destination wedding in PV. Not only did she make my job as the bride easy, she also handled family and overall vibes day of! She helped put out fires when a smidge of family drama ensued, she helped us get better rates with vendors (they gave us lower prices when they found out we were going with the cheaper option). She is so professional, we visited here and PV 1 year before our wedding and she wrote detailed notes @ our food tastings so we didnt have to try and recall things months later. My first Hair trial did not go well (week of my wedding) she got me in on a 2nd appt. She put me and my groom at ease and most importantly she made it so that I HAD MY DREAM WEDDING!!!!Kelley is a pleasure to work with, she gets things done (Always responded to me within 24 hours) but she is also fun to work with. I can't say enough good things about the overall experience working with her and her team. -

Above and beyond expectations, brought our vision to life.
Kelley is the BOMB. She gets it done and keeps a smile on her face the whole time. We read great reviews on Kelley in June of 2021 and knew she was the best but we didn't fully understand it until we got to our wedding and saw it firsthand.
She helped advise us while we picked a venue, she helped provide options for caterers, rehearsal dinner, mariachis, etc. She also helped us stay organized throughout with an excel spreadsheet that priced things out.
The fact that she's fully bilingual and well-experienced in the PV wedding vendor world is a huge plus. We could never have done it on our own. When we flew into PV in November, she organized tastings and tours for us, answered all our crazy questions, and helped to put our minds at ease. Not to mention, she even picked us up at the airport with our luggage and chauffeured us to the places we needed to go - above and beyond what we ever expected.
Wedding week last week was a breeze because of her. From a final walkthrough several days before, to running the rehearsal with our wedding party and family, setting up our rehearsal dinner at a different venue and spending 12+ hours at our venue on wedding day, she knocked it out of the park. Our guests were blown away at how gorgeous everything looked and how seamlessly everything appeared to go. She brought our vision board to life and spent way more time and efforts than her wedding coordination charge covers. And to top it all off - she's just a great, fun person.
Be organized, tell/show her what you want, she will make it a reality.

We had the most dreamiest wedding in Sayulita. Kelley is responsible and responsive. Our wedding was postponed due to Covid and she helped us reschedule with ease. Kelley has a true eye for decor and I trusted her judgement for everything. The week before the wedding she had everything going on behind the scenes and I had no idea. Everything was seamless. I’ll never forget her telling me “go marry your man mama” as I walked down the aisle. She’s a gem. -

The best wedding coordinator!
I don't even know where to start - Kelley was our backbone during wedding planning and execution! Originally we were set to get married May 2020 and then due to the pandemic finally were able to have our dream wedding July 2021. None of it would have been possible without Kelley's help! For a little background - my husband and I were in the US and our parents in Canada. Being an Indian wedding, all of us were pretty hands on with wedding planning/ ideas and Kelley was the one who helped us execute everything we wanted in our dream wedding - from arranging for overseas deliveries, to surprise jet ski, ATV and boat entries, to being the middleman (middle-woman!) for us with all the local vendors/ the resort! If you're planning a wedding and need someone who can handle everything from beginning to end, Kelley is the perfect person! THANK YOU KELLEY FOR HELPING US GET OUR DREAM WEEK -

Absolutely the Best Wedding Planner
Kelley, is THE go to person for wedding planning if you are planning on doing a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita or Sayulita. First and foremost she has the contacts to make your wedding special no matter what you budget is. Everything from flowers, caterers, DJ, live music, photographer, hair/makeup, venue and even a perfect villa for you guests to stay in if you need it. She also listens to what is most important to you and makes sure that its perfect. Flowers were the most important thing for my bride, more so than her dress, I think, haha. Kelley worked with her flower supplier to make sure that the flowers my bride wanted were included in the arrangements and that the arrangements were spectacular. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention we had two weddings, complete with two ceremonies, two sets of flowers, two catered receptions and two DJ dance parties all put together by Kelley. The first week with family and the second week with friends, 22 and 19 people, respectively. We did it at the amazing 11 BR Villa Manderinas, which Kelley found for us after our first villa fell through. I cannot say enough good and amazing things about Kelley, all I can say is if you are doing a wedding in Jalisco or Nayarit, Kelley can not only make it happen but also make it very special. -

Kelley goes above and beyond!! She makes you feel comfortable right away and 100% nails the vision you have. Everything we asked for perfect. ALL of our guests said they've never had as much fun or cried as much at a wedding other than ours. She not only provides professional & friendly service but her vendors are also amazing. -

Kelley has been so spectacular - We've hired her for full planning/coordination for our 2020 Destination Wedding in Sayulita, Mexico and she will be my best decision of the entire process (besides marrying my lovely fiance!). I have no doubt about that. She is so detailed, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, has a longg list of vendors she loves working with, and has kept me at ease throughout the months of planning. I cannot recommend her enough. THANK YOU, KELLEY! We cannot wait for our wedding in November. Kelley will help make it absolutely perfect while keeping my me, my fiance, and our families totally stress free! -

Alyssa H. Sent on 09/14/2020The most amazing wedding coordinator EVER!
I do not even know where to begin because Kelley was absolutely AMAZING! She was our day-of coordinator for our August wedding in St. Louis, MO and helped make our wedding dreams become a reality. I really do not think that the day would have been any where near as perfect if it weren't for her and all that she did for us. All of our vendors and even the venue manager could not stop raving about how AMAZING she is! As the bride, I was already stressing out over all of the small details I was afraid that I would miss and then COVID-19 came into the mix and escalated the stress even more. Once Kelley was in the picture to help with everything, the stress was immediately gone! She is one of the sweetest, most caring women that I have ever met. Kelley was extremely helpful with working with the vendors to make sure that everything was ready to go and perfect. She helped create and ensure that the schedule/timeline was finalized down to the "T" and even made sure that EVERYONE followed that schedule throughout the entire day. If something went wrong at our wedding, I never even knew because she took care of it right away and made certain that we had as little stress as possible for us to enjoy our wedding! I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Kelley with Younique Vallarta Weddings- you WILL NOT be disappointed! She puts her heart an soul into what she does, making sure that she does whatever she can to help make your day one that you will never forget. -

Marisa C. Sent on 02/10/2020Kelley is a gem 💎
We are so grateful for finding Kelley Kahrhoff! From our first (of many) Skype dates with her, we knew she was the wedding planner for us- rather than jumping straight into business, she took the time to get to know us as a couple. Her bubbly, genuine nature, fluent Spanish and overall positive energy was what essentially led us to “choose” her as our right hand in planning our Mexican villa wedding. I would consider both my fiancé and I to be type A planners : we take comfort in checklists/spreadsheets/ schedules - all that to say, we have high expectations, and Kelley did not disappoint and totally “got us”.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect, with a lot of challenging elements: The fact that my family is Mexican, his family is Jewish- Canadian meant that we would need the ceremony and celebration to not only be bilingual, but also wanted to incorporate Jewish/ Mexican traditions . Kelley was able to find us a mariachi band that played the horah (It was a huge hit with everyone btw ) , find us a caterer that showcased the delicious food of Mexico (while still accommodating those the spice sensitive 😉), a bilingual officiant, and decorate the chuppah/ tables in a way that was even better than what we could have imagined! Gahhh the flowers! Oh and last minute decision to find us a tent because of the chance of rain was the best recommendation Kelley had made for us. The tent actually added to the intimate ambiance of our wedding and was extremely valuable once the droplets started to fall shortly after the ceremony! Lucky for us , no stress knowing Kelley had plan B already taken care of.
Guests have told us that it was truly an unforgettable celebration! We will sincerely miss having her as our wedding guardian angel and cannot express how much we appreciate all her help in planning the best day of our lives!
If you are looking for a wedding planner in PV (or surrounding area), look no further than Kelley! She is truly a gem :) -

Kim Sent on 09/21/2018Hire Kelley!!
My husband and I ended up hiring Kelley to help us with planning our wedding at the magical Parroquia Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe in downtown PV. Wow, THANK GOD FOR KELLEY. First of all, it's not easy planning a wedding in another country. Secondly, the church is incredibly difficult to work with. Kelley jumped through HOOPS for us in many situations, dealing with the priest, the church staff, our flower vendor, and our mariachi we hired. It's absolutely necessary to have someone who can speak Spanish fluently when you're getting married at a Catholic Church in Mexico. Kelley made sure everything went smoothly for us the day of the wedding. She even came to our resort a few days prior to go over a gameplan and make sure we were on the same page. The entire process of working with Kelley was wonderful -- she was incredibly responsive, friendly, as well as optimistic for us in many situations that I felt hopeless about (looming rain, for instance!). She was that beam of sunshine I needed to lift my mood during other stressful moments. She is very quick to respond, thorough, and is well known with many vendors around Vallarta. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Kelley!!! -

Megan H. Sent on 11/07/2019Kelley is the MVP of our wedding
I can not put into words how amazing Kelley was to work with for our wedding. From our very first email communication, she was down to earth and easy to work with. She is the only planner I reached out that actually gave me a personalized response rather than an automated and scripted reply.
Over the course of a year, Kelley and I spoke countless times over email and she was always quick to reply and gave thorough answers. When conversations were more in depth, she would take the time out of her day to speak with me on the phone. I felt more like I was speaking to a close friend rather than someone I had a business relationship with.
We met with Kelley twice in Vallarta before the week of the wedding. She drove us around to our tasting, our venue visit, arranged meetings with vendors, and we even went to pick out florals together. She is nothing short of amazing.
On the big day, Kelley literally had taken my pinterest wedding board and executed it perfectly....and within budget. Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL. It was so absolutely stunning that for a while it didn't feel like reality.
We had issues with a power failure at my wedding. Kelley did not hesitate to order a generator and save the day. She was quick on her feet, made sure the drinks kept flowing, and adjusted the evening timeline to accommodate the issues. To our guests, it just appeared like we intended to have our dinner hour be a romantic candlelit meal. I'm fully confident that nobody else could have executed this problem solving with such finesse and skill.
Kelley is incredibly kind and professional, detail orientated, and really understands her brides and their vision. She is truly a phenominal planner and you cannot go wrong with hiring her.

If you have/are planning a destination wedding then you know it is so hard to find where to begin and how to make your plans into an actual wedding. Kelley did all that and more! She took about 50 emails with all my pictures and ideas and created the wedding of our dreams. I never could have taken my ideas and create a vision that was a true masterpiece! Not only did Kelley make the wedding look amazing, she took care of so many things that were not in her job and stepped up when needed. She was my last minute go to, kept track of all of our guests, she kept us on schedule, and made us feel like we did not have to worry about anything but enjoying our day! The day had rain, hiccups, and lots of heat, but Kelley was always one step ahead and took care of everything so I never even knew there was an issue. If you are looking to plan your wedding in PV Kelley is a MUST! She was not only the best wedding planner, towards the end, she became a friend. -

Julie H. Sent on 09/08/2019Kelley is the best!
Seriously look no further Kelley is truly the best!! She had to work with our very difficult situation and she handled it with ease, professionalism, and lots of humor.
We had an assigned wedding coordinator through our venue who was just unaccommodating and unresponsive to our requests. This was alarming to us especially being hundreds of miles away. This was when we decided to bring Kelley on board. She worked with us and the coordinator to get us the wedding of our dreams. She brought up things the other coordinator wouldn’t have even cared about like having a wedding on a beach in mid July might be an awful decision LOL who knew?? She secured us a new reception location which was also sheltered in case of rain (which was my BIGGEST fear).
Day of the wedding Kelley was incredible. She was putting out fires left and right. I’m talking moving beach chairs and umbrellas by herself and making sure every detail was perfect. Seriously the other coordinator was putting out green napkins and silver plates and Kelley fixed it right away. She also ended up being the most wonderful MC and felt like a friend by the end of our reception.
I told Kelley that had she not been there for us our wedding would have been more like a surprise party and I truly mean it she made everything perfect and we could not have done any of it without her. It was truly the most perfect wedding and completely stress free. We love you Kelley!!!Younique by Kelley's reply:
Oh my goodness Julie, I am tearing up! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful review.. was I doing all that?? Ha, ha, ha...
Your wedding was absolutey gorgeous and you two have beautiful souls. I look forward to seeing where life leads the two of you.
