5 STARS!! The Era's Design made our wedding planning experience so much less stressful! 🤍
A huge thank you to Kale Smith for helping us get started with
budgeting, vendor recomm...
endations, and keeping us on track throughout
the planning process. And an even bigger thank you to Kale's and his staff, who
absolutely crushed it during the final two months and on our wedding
day. He coordinated all of our vendors, handled every little detail
behind the scenes, and made sure I never had to worry about logistics.
The biggest compliment I can give is that I never felt like I was
coordinating my own wedding. I got to actually be present and enjoy the
day with my husband, family, and friends. ❤️
Thank you, Kale and the Era's team for helping make our
day so special
Our daughter and her fiancé got married and had their wedding ceremony and reception at Decades Event Center. The decorations were done by Eras Events and Design. Right from the be...
ginning of the wedding planning Kale was very easy to work with. He had a wide variety of table and room decorations to choose from and said he could order anything else we might want. Not having to worry about decorating the space ourselves was amazing and definitely a plus! The decor was very reasonably priced and well worth the money spent as they took care of setting everything up and tearing down as well at the end of the night. The tables and room were beautiful❤️. Our guests loved the venue’s space and decor. Would 100% recommend using Eras Events and Design to others.
Planning a wedding in Italy while living in New York could have been an overwhelming experience, but with Kale and Era Events & Design, it was anything but. From the outset, Kale w...
as more than a wedding planner; he was my lifeline, my guide through the complexities of overseas wedding planning.
Kale’s expertise was invaluable in helping me understand contracts and ensuring that all parties involved were perfectly aligned. He had a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what it takes to bring a wedding design to life. More than once, he saved me from my own overambitious DIY ideas, gently steering me towards choices that were both beautiful and manageable.
The level of dedication and care Kale brought to our wedding planning was beyond compare. He was there on-site throughout the entire weekend, seamlessly executing the plans we’d worked on together. The detailed timeline he created for the weekend was a masterpiece of organization, tailored not just for us but for every member of our wedding party and each vendor. This was something I could never have achieved on my own, and Kale’s meticulous attention to detail here was a godsend.
Our wedding day was perfect, and the few inevitable bumps we did face were handled with such efficiency and calm by Kale that I never once felt worried. His problem-solving skills were outstanding, and his commitment to making our day flawless was evident in every action he took.
Communication with Kale was effortless. He was incredibly responsive to my texts and emails, making me feel heard and understood at every turn. This contrasted starkly with a previous experience we had with a different planner for a smaller celebration we had here in New York for our civil ceremony. With Kale, I felt like someone cared about my wedding as much as I did.
If you're seeking a planner who will invest in your wedding with the same passion and dedication that you do, who will go to extraordinary lengths to bring your vision to life, look no further than Kale and Era Events. His blend of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for his clients sets him apart. Hiring Kale was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful for the magic he helped create.
