Kayla was the coordinator for my wedding in October and she was so amazing to work with. Not only is she incredible at her job, but she has the most calm demeanor. She made the day so smooth with her prep leading up to and everything she did day of. She wears so many hats and does not miss a beat. I am so thankful to have had her there with me; I would work with her a million times!!

Where do I begin? Kayla did an amazing job planning my August 2026 wedding at the Westin in Savannah, Georgia. My now husband and I were looking for a full service planner who woul...
d take most of the stress out of wedding planning and Kayla delivered. While I can go on and on about Kayla's work, I'll highlight a few things she did exceptionally well.
First, Kayla is so relatable. While keeping it professional, I felt so comfortable going to Kayla for everything and anything. Planning the wedding with Kayla felt like planning it with a very experienced friend and it made our many many meetings enjoyable and something I would look forward to.
Second, Kayla was so respectful of my own vision. Rather than pushing me on the newest trends and making the wedding as aesthetic as possible, she listened to what I wanted and came up with fabulous ideas to compliment them.
Third, Kayla was such a joy to have around on our wedding day. She is such a light and everyone who met her raved about how she tackled problems with ease and was such a great resource for questions the bride would usually have to field.
Fourth, she respected my time constraints. I was graduating law school, studying for bar and having the wedding 3 weeks after the test. She took that information and really respected my lack of availability and sometimes my lack of responsiveness. She reminded me if I missed an email I had to respond to and tracked things so that I didn't need to carry that mental load.
And lastly, she is one of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure of working with. I will truly miss our frequent texts and calls.
I would highly recommend Kayla as a wedding planner and I can't wait to see all the future weddings she plans on social media.

ntire planning process and our wedding day felt completely seamless, calm, and actually fun, and that is 100% because of her.
She is the perfect mix of effortlessly cool, incredibly kind, and insanely on top of every single detail. She knows exactly when to step in and hype you up, keep the energy high, and make you feel like the most special person in the world—but at the same time, she is constantly working behind the scenes making absolute magic happen.
Every vendor she recommended was phenomenal, and she helped us curate the most unreal dream team. Everything came together more perfectly than we ever could have imagined, and we truly got to be fully present and enjoy every second.
We are OBSESSED with Kayla. She is worth every penny and more. We cannot recommend her enough!

'Day of Planner' and it was the smartest thing I ever did. I found Kayla in January and our wedding was in February and she was not afraid of that challenge in the least. Other vendors I talked to lectured me on how late in the game I was. Kayla had us organized and was on every detail, things i didn't even think of. She had so much knowledge and experience dealing with all aspects: wedding crashers, trespassers lol.
I handed all our decor over to her and when we walked in to line up for ceremony the Bride cried because her wedding was exactly to her expectations. I believe Kayla's professional , calm and honest advice added to the success of the day. She responded immediately to us when we had questions or concerns. I 100% was able to hand it all over to her, trusted her completely. From the rehearsal on Friday to the cleanup on Saturday night she had it all under control.
100% recommend.

Kayla played such a meaningful role in making our day everything we hoped for. We instantly clicked with her, and from the moment we hired her as our Day-Of Coordinator, I felt com...
pletely at ease. During the planning phase, she was incredibly thorough, asking thoughtful questions about details we hadn’t even considered, and her communication was amazing (always quick, clear, and reassuring). She was on top of every detail leading up to our wedding weekend. There were also so many moments when I would think about a certain detail for the wedding, and as soon as I would grab my phone, I would already have a text from her about that item — it honestly felt like she could read my mind!
Kayla truly went above and beyond during our wedding weekend. Our wedding weekend brought several unexpected events, including LOTS of rain, a last-minute switch from an outdoor to an indoor ceremony, a power outage the morning of our wedding, and a broken elevator. Kayla handled everything with calm, confidence, and professionalism, offering creative solutions that turned challenges into highlights. She coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, kept us informed, and made sure we were relaxed and enjoying every moment. We are beyond grateful for her dedication and heart, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional Day-Of Coordinator or Wedding Planner!

k the time to tour venues with us, provided great insight to picking my vendors with helpful worksheets to guide me, and was always responsive when me or my mom would send her a random question text. We met (via Zoom) a few weeks leading up to the wedding for multiple hours to go over every detail of the day and layout the timeline and we felt like we had her full undivided attention the entire time which made me feel way more at ease with her attention to detail and confidence in executing our vision. Kayla made sure to put out any and all fires day of wedding to make sure I didn’t feel a beat was missed. She was one step ahead in all things night of wedding whether it was getting us our cocktails, bringing us our meals, helping pass out party favors or keeping us on time the whole night - she was on it! Can’t recommend Kayla enough and her great communication. Thanks for making this experience so smooth, Kayla!

Kayla handled things beautifully and the wedding was a dream come true! Kayla loves what she does and she is exceptional at it! Thank you, Kayla, we would give you 100 stars if we could.

ors had told me that it was okay to vet the vendor; we are entrusting them with your most memorable day.
I was honest with Kayla, told her of my event background and while I understand that things go bump in the night, I want to ensure that I can trust the person who will be with me through the good, bad, and ugly of wedding planning. I must have spoken music to her ears because we hit it off.
Kayla was the little voice in my head that I didn’t know I needed, like a wedding therapist because we all know the stress that a wedding can bring on. She helped me establish what was tacky, reasonable, or flat out a waste of money; where my energy and efforts should be dedicated too, but truly most of all she had my back on my wedding day and the months leading up to. Whether it was going to tastings, staring at rentals, venue walkthrough, making poster images of my dog Kayla was always by side reinforcing that she got me.
Throughout all this Kayla got engaged and is planning a wedding! That never stopped her from answering any question I had or task that I requested.
Wedding day was peaceful for me, Kayla coordinated with my husband to get some items delivered, I had left everything organized so that Kayla and I would both have successful days. Which we did! When a had that sip of champagne right before I walked down the aisle, I knew we had made a great team, and I gained a forever friend.
Not everything is perfect in life, but I trusted Kayla with the best day of my life, and she made sure it was perfect.

On the day of the wedding, she checked in on me constantly, made sure I was calm and happy, and handled everything behind the scenes so I could truly relax and enjoy every moment. It honestly felt like she read my mind and knew exactly what I needed before I even asked.
Thanks to her, everything ran smoothly, on time, and exactly how I envisioned it. If you're considering hiring her — DO IT. She’s a true professional, a calming presence, and an absolute must-have for your wedding day. 💕

And when some unforeseen circumstance had me frantic, she stayed by my side, making sure I was in a good headspace. She was also fun, she kept the line dances going, and she rolled with some last-minute changes with a smile on her face!
I cannot say enough good things about Kayla. When we reflected back on our wedding day, we realized how integral she was to making the day so special and amazing, in ways that surpassed our expectations! Thank you Kayla, I can’t imagine what the day would have been like without you!

There were so many things on wedding day that I heard about (afterwards) that Kayla handled for us with grace and efficiency to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible for my husband and I, and everyone else involved in our wedding. A small story to show the kind of person Kayla is: I tried to teach several people on the dance floor the Footloose dance, and everyone slowly faded out giving up on It. I looked over and the one person left dancing by my side for It was KAYLA!! I couldn’t recommend working with Kayla enough!!

rst time we spoke (and basically every time we spoke), and she really walked me through every decision I needed to make for our wedding. She went above and beyond for us and coordinated the day expertly. Kayla even came up with unplanned party moves to spice up our reception, like creating a reveal moment for my reception dress, and getting a limbo started! She even helped me capture the night on our personal camcorder we brought, so I have priceless memories I couldn't have gotten without her help. She set up our venue so beautifully and made sure everything was perfect, it all looked even better than I could have imagined! Organization and logistics are not my strong suits so I really needed someone who could help me find the right structure and order for the day, and Kayla nailed it. She advocated for us like an absolute pro when a little bit of drama tried to happen. She's also just a super fun and kind human, who was a pleasure to have with us all day!
I can't recommend Kayla enough, she will make the wedding planning process so much more fun!

the way up until our big day. We had a destination wedding and did not get to meet Kayla in person until the day of the wedding. Whenever we contacted her, she was pleasant, knowledgeable and most importantly, available to answer our questions. Leading up to the wedding, Kayla clearly communicated what she needed and did not ask for anything excessive. She did as much of the prep ahead of time as she could and didn’t ask me to do anything she could do herself. On the wedding day, she was organized and ready to go. She demonstrated the ability to improvise on the fly, and honestly nothing about it was stressful. I wasn’t really involved in anything. If anything went wrong, I didn’t know about it. It was great. It allowed me to enjoy the wedding without stress. And as a bonus, she was the only one who knew how to bustle up by dress (with no prior instruction or knowledge) when my parents and friends couldn’t figure it out. Kayla really is special and has all the skills that make a fantastic planner and event coordinator. I cannot recommend her more. We are very great full to have found Kayla!
