Events by Kawinthi

(and I did, a lot!) and gave me helpful feedback if something I wanted to do wasn't feasible.

time, and we met multiple times in the span of 2 years to plan these events. She has many connections and recommendations for trusted vendors and venues. She came up with a list of 10 venues that met our wants and needs and visited many of them with us. I think the most critical aspect of Kawinthi’s services is when it comes to the week-of and day-of the events. She was available at the drop of a dime to answer quick questions and to provide reassurances! She made sure that both ceremony and reception went smoothly and according to schedule. She was there all morning setting up for each event and coordinating with our vendor team. For our reception, we had some day of mishaps, small and big: faulty equipment, wardrobe repairs, and even vendor problems that we didn’t even know about until after the event! She thinks quickly on her feet and has a solution for any problem that could arise, which made the events and planning enjoyable for us. Thanks to Kawinthi, our party was more amazing than we could have ever imagined!

mes, planning, etc. She got us ready for our scheduled wedding day and then for our rescheduled wedding day because of covid. She makes it looks easy but we can only imagine it took a lot of hours of emails and phone calls to get everything so organized. We cannot express how grateful we are for having Kawinthi as our planner and advocate. We 1000% recommend her for all your event planning needs. If you're thinking twice about a planner, don't! Get yourself one, get yourself Kawinthi!

communication and attention to detail were fabulous, always had a great and supportive attitude whenever we discussed how to approach schedules and execution (some planners treat their partner vendors as "other", not as equals), and was great at improvising on the day of the wedding as timelines adjusted (spoiler alert: timelines ALWAYS adjust on a wedding day). Additionally, most weddings I work on require somewhere in the vicinity of 18-25 hours of background work, between connecting with the couple, the venue, the photographer, etc over the course of the planning process and making sure everything is on the same page. Kawinthi easily cut that time in half for me. I had a great time working with Kawinthi, and I hope to work with her again many times in the future! Book Kawinthi as you planner, and make sure to ask her about live music for your wedding!

ple-day, Indian-fusion wedding, at each step of the way, her professionalism and poise were on full display as she went above and beyond all of our expectations ultimately leading us to experience one of the most incredible days of our lives. Kawinthi was the key to everything running smoothly — from her thoughtful and thorough “vision board”, to locking down amazing vendors despite the COVID shortage — she helped us navigate the plethora of logistics that go into wedding planning, ultimately executing the day-of coordination perfectly. Random requests like finding guests to help with outfit changes and arranging drink refills at the reception to keeping us on schedule during the table greetings were handled flawlessly and gracefully. Most importantly, when things did go amiss (as with all weddings), she helped us work around unexpected vendor delays with her quick-to-respond solutions and creativity. In these moments, her expertise was fully apparent; delivering everything she said she’d do with zero compromises. If you are looking for someone to help plan and elevate your special day — whether it be big or small, simple, over-the-top or anything in between — Kawinthi is your best bet. In large part because of Kawinthi, when we think back to our wedding, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy knowing that everything worked out as planned, giving us wonderful memories to look back on for years to come.

ing Kawinthi allowed us to have a stress-free wedding day, as her professionalism and organization combined with friendly and warm demeanor reassured us that everything would happen as planned--and it did! I will never forget walking into the venue the day of our wedding-- it was absolutely perfect, thanks to Kawinthi.

now how to handle/ didn't have time for all of the detail tasks. Kawinthi swooped in and worked within our budget to take care of everything leading up to the wedding in the last couple of months. She was able to come in and understand our vision and take over immediately, she took over contact with all of our vendors and even sourced chargers for our head table that we couldn't find anywhere, there wasn't a detail that she was not on top of. At the rehearsal and the wedding, Kawinthi really shined, she made sure that we were not bothered by anything that may have gone wrong in the background and was able to make decisions for us in our best interest. Overall, Kawinthi really helped us create our dream day and we cannot say enough good things about her

g the best vendors to fit our specific needs for our backyard wedding ceremony. She also created a super helpful list of venues for our future reception, and spent a full weekend scoping out our top picks with us. She was regularly in touch with us throughout the whole planning process. The week of the event, the weather was not looking good. She went as far as to create multiple contingency plans, even contacting all of our vendors on our behalf to consider the possibility of changing the date of our ceremony! The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! She and her team worked tirelessly to turn our backyard into the most beautiful wedding venue I could have ever asked for. Her eye for design is unmatched, and she created a beautiful scene that not only met but surpassed our expectations. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I was not the least bit stressed the day of. She covered all the small details so I didn't have to! Hands down, hiring Kawinthi was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! I look forward to continuing our work together for the reception!

detail. She is incredibly organized and patient, and brings a calmness to what can be a very stressful process! If you are looking for someone to make sure that your day is everything you've ever envisioned, Kawinthi is the planner for you!

f the way. She was an all star in every aspect of the wedding preparation process (at a non-traditional, private lake home venue), from planning the big picture logistics- like parking and coordinating the flow of guests from the ceremony to the reception- to the hundreds of small details that go into making your wedding perfect. As a day-of coordinator, Kawinthi’s professionalism and organization gave us confidence that all of the moving pieces of our wedding would go smoothly, so that we could truly not worry about a thing, and allowed us to truly enjoy and experience our special day. Many of our wedding guests have since commented on how perfect everything went and how Kawinthi impeccable ran the event. Looking back, our wedding day was even more incredible than we envisioned, and Kawinthi’s help was the biggest reason why! I don’t know how Kawinthi works her magic, but on our wedding day, I felt no stress at all and had complete confidence that everything was going to be okay! She went out of her way to ensure I had the wedding I dreamed of. I received glowing reviews over how smoothly our wedding went and that is all because of Kawinthi.

ore comfortable and confident that the day would go flawlessly. As a day-of coordinator in this Covid environment, Kawinthi also helped with our virtual guest experience by seamlessly transitioning the ceremony space into the first dance space; making each feel unique. She even incorporated our baseball themed elements creatively into the day. We had the most perfect day and couldn't have asked for more, and we owe that to Kawinthi! For anyone deciding to work with a coordinator or not, we can't speak highly enough of Kawinthi. We had been planning a wedding for 18 months before Covid and Kawinthi was able to jump in in the final few months to bring our new plans to life and transform it into the perfect day. If that's not a true coordinator, I don't know what it is.

lp build our “vision,” which we hadn’t been able to put together ourselves. Throughout the whole process, Kawinthi was super organized, friendly, reachable, and always there to help! She took all of our random and scattered ideas and put together a beautiful wedding vision that perfectly captured us as a couple and how we wanted our wedding day to look like, thinking everything through to the tiniest detail. She then found the perfect vendors and communicated with our existing vendors to turn the vision into reality, and she did it so incredibly well. There were of course bumps in the road, stressful moments, and vendor mishaps from time to time, and when those times came Kawinthi was always there to deescalate stressful situations and somehow quickly figure everything out. As a result of all of her great work, our garden wedding was even more perfect than we could’ve ever imagined, even with a last-minute surprise thundershower! Even with everything set up to be outside, when the rain started, Kawinthi handed everyone the umbrellas she had brought just in case, and rallied the whole vendor team very quickly to figure out and execute a half outside/half under the tent setup during the cocktail hour. In the end, our new reception setup looked at least as beautiful as the original one, and everyone was dry and comfortable throughout the whole time -- we honestly would not change a single thing about it! Thanks to Kawinthi, all the vendors worked so well together, everything was in place, all the last minute issues were resolved, everything looked so so pretty, and most importantly, our big day was the intimate and fun post-COVID party we had hoped it would be, rain or shine. Everyone had so much fun and the whole event felt so very uniquely like "us"! Weeks later, people still keep telling us how awesome everything was. Hiring Kawinthi was the best wedding vendor decision we made — if you need event planning help, HIRE HER!! She will work her magic and make sure your day is everything you’ve ever imagined it would be, and more :)
