If I could give Kinsey and Eager Events more than five stars, I absolutely would! Hiring Kinsey for full-service planning and design was, without a doubt, one of the BEST decisions... we made for our entire wedding.
We were planning our Santa Monica wedding from out of state, and going into the process, that was one of my biggest sources of anxiety. From the moment we started working with Kinsey, that anxiety completely disappeared. She made the entire planning process feel easy, organized, exciting, and completely manageable. She handled vendor visits when we couldn't be there, kept us informed every step of the way, thought through details I never would have even considered, and somehow always seemed to be ten steps ahead.
Kinsey is truly one of the most organized people I have ever met. Throughout our entire time working together, I never once wondered what needed to happen next or worried that something was being forgotten. She kept track of EVERYTHING, communicated beautifully with us and our vendors, and made me feel like I could actually enjoy being engaged instead of constantly managing a giant wedding to-do list.
And then there was the design. OH. MY. GOSH. Seeing everything come together on our wedding day was absolutely surreal. Kinsey took all of my ideas, inspiration, and little details and turned them into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. It felt completely like us, but somehow better than anything I could have envisioned on my own. Walking into our reception and seeing everything for the first time is a moment I will never forget.
Most importantly, Kinsey allowed us to actually ENJOY our wedding. On the day of, I wasn't thinking about timelines, vendors, setup, logistics, or what was supposed to happen next. I got to be a bride. I got to be present with my husband, our families, and our friends because I knew Kinsey had everything handled. Everything felt seamless, effortless, and incredibly well thought out — even though I know an enormous amount of work was happening behind the scenes to make it feel that way.
Beyond being an incredible planner, Kinsey is also just a wonderful person to have in your corner during such an important season of your life. She is calm, thoughtful, patient, professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about her couples. By the time our wedding arrived, it felt like we had someone who truly knew us and cared just as much as we did about making the day special.
I truly cannot recommend Kinsey and Eager Events enough. If you are debating whether full-service planning is "worth it," HIRE KINSEY. It was worth every single penny and then some. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, and so much of that is because of her.
Kinsey, thank you for giving us the most incredible wedding weekend and for making the entire journey getting there so easy and enjoyable. We will forever be grateful that we chose you.
