Kendra made my wedding week so much easier and more fun! She took care of a lot of the decorating, made sure everything was happening on time, and handled any problems day-of. The ...
wedding went so smoothly with her oversight, and she was a really pleasant and conscientious person to work with!
Adding a wedding planner for the month leading up to our wedding was one of the best decisions ever. Although my venue had quite good day-of coordinating services, I have a busy fu...
ll time job and honestly.... the details of how to realize the wedding day/weekend is quite overwhelming. My family members are all in other states and arrived in town for the wedding, so having a planner not only made my day incredibly simple, but also let my family (sister, mom, dad, anyone who could help) enjoy the day to the fullest.
Kendra is like my fairy godmother, and she executed the day in the way that I imagined, and probably better than I had imagined. We had our wedding on 3/14/2020... and yes... Ohio had just put on the state wide ban of large gatherings and we had to change a lot of details of the wedding the day prior. Kendra took it all in stride, said "no problem, I've got it", and on we went. Her answer is never "no", it's "yes" or "how do we solve this issue".
We first talked on the phone, and met in person about 6 weeks prior to the wedding to discuss final details. I liked the freedom of planning my own wedding and handing it over at some point to someone who can stay sane during the crazy day!
She was there for every part of the day... from coordinating the first look, to making sure all my vendors had their questions answered, to making sure i did not go hungry.... to figuring out my bustle with 4 other people.... to packing up the venue (and finding my lipstick and a stray card with cash inside)... and returning all of my decor unscathed (we broke like 1 candle votive... which is.... much less than i expected since we had over 200 candles).... everything was perfect.
Getting a planner was a splurge, but my now husband wanted to make sure my OCD/Type A personality didn't literally kill his bride..... so he insisted on finding a planner that fit my personality. This meant someone just as Type A and attention to detail as me, loves to have fun and laugh, and can fix any problem, and is always on time/ready to work... while still letting the bride be exactly who she is. I think that's the best description of Kendra... she lets you have your day the way you want it... but helps you execute it to the finest details.
I literally teared up and cried when i saw how beautiful the venue was decorated, and I thought my decor plan was a little crazy!
Don't hesitate to work with Kendra, you won't regret it!
Thank you again Kendra, and Chelsee. We had the best day in the craziest of current events, and we thank you both so much!

I tried to be the best planner for my wedding day. I worked hard to ensure every detail was thought out. Unfortunately, as most brides know, there is no way to plan for everything....
Which is why I am so glad I hired Kendra. In every way, Kendra made my wedding day perfect. When my dress straps were ruined by cleaners, she sewed me into my dress. She even handled sassy/obnoxious relatives with grace. My day went according to plan. Without Kendra I would have likely had a mental breakdown trying to manage it on my own. I highly recommend booking her for your event!
Kendra was AMAZING to work with! She always responded promptly to emails and kept us on track with completing tasks. On the day of the wedding, she made sure everything ran smoothl...
y. I was able to enjoy my husband and guests because she was there taking care of everything. She has really good ideas too! I don’t know how we would’ve made it through the last 30 days without her! I cannot day enough wonderful things about her! She is worth every penny!
Hiring Kendra was the best thing I did when planning my wedding. Kendra was a life saver all day! From making sure everything got where it was supposed to go, to removing a stain t...
hat popped up on my dress literally minutes before walking down the aisle... I cannot say enough great things about Kendra and her services! Hiring Kendra made me so much less stressed and helped everything to run smoothly.
Kendra and her assistant were amazing! We asked Grand Expectations to help us the day of our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Kendra was incredibly organize...
d and thought of everything leading up to the wedding, and she immediately took charge of coordinating our party starting with our rehearsal and all the way through the reception. She took so much stress off my shoulders as I knew she had it all taken care of. It is obvious planning weddings is Kendra's passion, and I would recommend her without hesitation.
Kendra was such a great help with wedding planning. I lost count of how many times I said thank goodness for Kendra that last month before the wedding! We had done most of the plan...
ning ourselves out of state for a Dayton wedding, but felt overwhelmed and wanted someone who could be a go-to person for last minute issues. She checked in with all our vendors/coordinated them and even found a couple contract issues we'd overlooked (like we did not realize we were responsible for providing draping for the gazebo and she put us in touch with our 4th new ceremony coordinator who had yet to contact us). She created a very detailed day of schedule for us, which was awesome. She went above and beyond and even attended a several hour final details meeting with the reception venue on a Sunday and listened in on the hour long phone call with our band. You have a lot of decisions to make in wedding planning and having another person to give input was incredibly valuable. She had 2 assistants help with the busing transportation the day of at no additional charge and took care of some last minute rentals we needed. We really can't thank her enough, she is amazing! Our wedding day was perfect and having peace of mind that if something goes wrong, she'll address it is worth way more than you will spend. You'll be very grateful to hire Kendra!
STOP and read this review before you make your decision.
My fiance and I both work. We are very much in love, but handling the day to day complications of a major event , like a ...
wedding, is our idea of a good time. We are so busy, that writing our own vows and showing up to the wedding itself was what we committed to ... so we started to look for a wedding planner.
We found Kendra Ingram at Grand Expectations and here was the cliff's notes of our conversation:
K (Kendra): What kind of wedding do you want?
U (Us): A great one, with Great Music, Food and Booze.
K: What are you thinking?
U: That we need a wedding planner who can take a budget, a general vision and a few meetings to really own the event from soup to nuts. We want you to own setting up all vendor appointments, decorations, theme, price negotiations, finding vendors for things we're not sure about... and at the end of the day, if it's not food, booze or music... we really don't care that much.
K: No problem.
She said no problem, and it wasn't Kendra really picked up the ball and ran with it. We are now 10 days out and have almost our entire "to do list" completed, and all things considered, our stress level is fairly low.
Kendra has been outstanding, very reasonably priced and has really become a good friend and partner in the planning process.
As an aside, she also has a great in with travel agents, which helps tremendously with planning and booking the honeymoon.
So if you are looking for a trustworthy partner in the wedding planning process, no matter what level of interaction you want from her: from thinking thru planning to owning the whole darn thing, you can't go wrong with Kendra Ingram.
So do yourself a favor and schedule and appointment with her now to get it all started.
Sincerely,
Zach Alter
