Backyard Soiree Weddings and Events

ith not a care in the world. Her coordination and communication with every vendor and the bride/groom is flawless.....I truly couldn’t have asked for more. Kelly traveled to see our venue in lake Geneva and was at every meeting with vendors so we could create a vision together for my wedding. I always felt like her top priority. She has many years of experience planning weddings and has worked with numerous vendors. Kelly’s personality and skills make her a desirable wedding planner to be a part of your special day. The day of timeline is started at the beginning of planning which is the BEST resource to ensure the planning process and the big day run smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly with Backyard Soirée Weddings and Events!!!!

n my own and executed them perfectly. The day before my wedding and day of (I can’t forget to mention she traveled to kentucky for me!!) she was at the venue working all day on designing our rustic space into the most elegant romantic venue. My favorite thing she did was create the day of timeline. She was in very close communication with all of the vendors and had our planned down to the minutes, giving me enough time to be fully present in every moment. I would not change a thing about my wedding and I owe it all to her!

need a wedding planner. I was wrong. Kelly is hands down the best. She has so much experience in this industry and it shows through her events. Anything I needed she was responsive and even though she had weddings book every weekend before my wedding she made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. She exceeded all my exceptions and made sure my day was PERFECT. Kelly will be the glue of your wedding day and make sure your vision comes to life and you can truly live in the moment!

day to have. Kelly helped me narrow down my scattered thoughts into exactly what I wanted and the day felt true to my husband and I. She is full of beautiful and original ideas. She has so many connections with all the vendors and was able to explain exactly what the different vendors had to offer, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. which made it so much easier to decide on who to move forward with for our day. She will do most of the communicating with the vendors which took a lot off of my plate. Since the vendors have all worked with Kelly so often in other events and weddings they know the level of excellence she expects for her clients and it definitely shows in their work. I honestly can't imagine doing any of it without her and her guidance, ideas, and expertise. Being an out of town bride can make it hard in the planning process but Kelly made sure everything was taken care of and I knew I didn't have to worry. Through the whole process Kelly shines, but where she shines brightest is the day of. She takes on all of it - I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing other than getting ready and enjoying my time with my nearest and dearest. She does all the coordinating with vendors and wedding party and everything and anything you could ever think of - my phone did not ring once that day with a question or issue. She took care of it ALL. She puts such a high priority on making your wedding day flow and stress free. I could not be more thankful for that. I could go on and on with the many reasons you should hire Kelly to plan your wedding. But trust me, she is worth it and you will be so thankful to have her by your side.

elly does know what you don't know!!!!! Her suggestions on photographers, florists, videographers, etc.....are tried and true. We were blown away by all of the vendors that were recommended!!!!!! Such great people to work with!!!! Kelly promises "The Best Day Ever" and she delivers! I don't think you can afford not to hire her!!!! One million times......YES!!!!!!! DO IT!!!!

tion venue we wanted.   I knew with our busy schedules over the next year and a half, that I wanted to bring a planner in to help from the beginning. I was well aware that inquiries to vendors, arranging meetings, and everything else would be timely and difficult to do on my own with work and my schedule. After meeting with Kelly for the first time, I knew she was the perfect person for the job and could take our vision of our big day and make it a reality. Kelly helped alleviate any of the initial stress I had about contacting vendors, obtaining quotes, coordinating meetings and anything else I would be concerned with during the planning process. She truly takes the time to learn about the bride and groom and what your needs and wants are. After taking the time to get to know you, she offers a variety of suggestions for vendors to meet with that she thinks will best fit you. She will also take the time to research other options and ideas you may be looking for. She is excellent at thinking outside of the box. You know you are in good hands when someone is that thorough to make your special day everything you wanted it to be. The bride and groom are her number one priority and she never lets you or any vendor you are working with forget that.   She always worked her hardest to best accommodate my schedule when arranging meetings and her communication not only with myself, but the vendors, as well, was above and beyond. Everyone involved was always aware of what was happening and updated immediately if anything changed. I cannot explain how much of a relief it was and how thankful I am to have had her in place to coordinate everything. She held everyone involved to a timeline up until the day of!

, always sending emails, texts, and calling to keep me informed and up to date. She worked around my crazy schedule to meet with me at coffee shops, on random days and times. She took my wedding thoughts and ideas, and helped make them into reality, with even more perfection than I ever could have imagined. The wedding day went off without a glitch. I had no stress, and was truly able to enjoy my entire day. She was behind the scenes from early morning to the very end of the day! I never thought I needed a wedding planner until I became overwhelmed with all the information, vendors, and decisions about a month and a half from my big day. You don't know what you don't know, and Kelly helps with every detail that you have never even thought of. She took that huge burden of stress off of me, and allowed me to enjoy that special time. My husband and I have never seen such a beautiful reception, and I am so lucky that Kelly made it all happen. I encourage every bride to reach out to her. She is such a blessing, and a sense of calm in such a chaotic time. Love her!!!!

care of it all and she did! The wedding went so smoothly because of her direction and suggestions. If you want to have way less stress during your wedding planning process and then on the big day itself, hire Kelly! She is awesome!!

you'd like to help out. It was wonderful to meet with her ahead of time to brainstorm ideas, and I can't imagine going through the day of the wedding without knowing that she and her fantastic assistant Abby were there taking care of every little detail. Kelly is a phenomenal, giving, gracious person, and I'm so happy that she was also our wedding planner. You will love her!
