Absolutely incredible! Kelsey was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we first met, we felt completely at ease with her and knew we were in the best hands. She took the time to understand our vision, made herself available for the small details, and gave us peace of mind throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend her more! Everything ran so smoothly that we could actually relax and enjoy the moment. Kelsey is a true gem in the wedding industry, and we were so grateful to have had her by our side.
I would definitely recommend coordinating your wedding with Kelsey. Kelsey helped us to plan the details of our wedding and then executed flawlessly. Naturally the day of, not everything could work as planned. For example our caterer had to deliver the food 2 hours early. Our linens needed to be ironed again after sitting overnight. Some family members that were supposed to stay to take the decorations took off early. Kelsey handled all these complexities and we didn't notice. Our phones were silent the whole day.
Kelsey was exactly who we needed to support us through our wedding planning process. We hired Kelsey for partial planning services. As someone who enjoys planning and coordinating both personally and professionally, I had already researched our vendors and intentionally selected them. What we needed was someone trustworthy and as organized as we were. Kelsey fit that role perfectly, addressing wedding details we hadn't even considered before like how many can be seated comfortably at a table and how you want your napkins folded. They may seem like small details but are important! She has the experience and knowledge to provide that insight. Most importantly, Kelsey provided invaluable emotional support. With so many decisions to make, some of which were quite challenging, she was a great sounding board, offering validation and helpful suggestions. Many people underestimate the emotional aspect of wedding planning, but Kelsey's support allowed us to relax and trust that everything was handled on the day of the wedding. This certainty and confidence enabled us to be present and focus on our love for each other, which is all you can ask for as a couple getting married.
Kelsey offered multiple (even monthly) check ins for a year leading up to the event that helped keep the planning process moving. On the day of - the coordination was stellar, bottom line. We had 0 worries on the big day and Kelsey handled the event beautifully.
If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, book Kelsey! She did an amazing job to ensure that our day went off without a hitch. I planned my wedding from across the country and while I was comfortable doing all of the heavy lifting up front, I wanted to relax on my wedding day and Kelsey helped me do just that.
From the Zoom check-ins to meeting in person to tour our venue, I felt supported every step of the way. Kelsey was great about bringing up details I hadn't considered and was incredibly professional. Our venue was unique in that nothing was included onsite. Kelsey coordinated all of the logistics for us and it truly was the perfect day.
I would work with Kelsey again on future events and recommend her to anyone in the PNW looking for a planner/coordinator.
Hiring Kelsey as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions for our wedding. She was professional and helpful in the months leading up to the wedding, helping us capture "to-do's" and making sure things didn't slip through the cracks. That's just the level support that we needed up until week-of. Then she was amazing at our rehearsal and had everyone feeling prepared and ready for the big day. We still joke that on our wedding day, if anything did go wrong, we didn't hear about it -- which I think is the ultimate test of a great day-of coordinator. Our wedding day was a dream and very stress-free, which I know Kelsey played a key role in that.
Kelsey is a must have on your wedding day! She took care of everything including all the things I didn’t know I needed! Every single detail was taken care of. She was a dream to work with and helped make our vision a reality on our special day. It was so wonderful having Kelsey there so we could enjoy our day with our loved ones while she worked her magic! If you’re considering a day of coordinator, please do yourself a favor and hire Kelsey!
As a wedding DJ, working with Kelsey was a great experience! I received quality, well written Day of Timelines and Layouts in plenty of advance time so I had the information I needed to help me double check my work and feel prepared for my wedding day work. The day of the event, working with Kelsey was seamless, peaceful and pleasant. She is a great communicator, attentive and hard working. She had everything totally dialed in for the whole day and I personally never noticed a single hiccup in the whole event. As someone currently working in the wedding industry, I think Kelsey is performing quality work, is a dependable wedding coordinator and a pleasure to work with. I hope to get to work with her at many more wedding events!
From a wedding photographer's perspective, working with Kelsey is a true delight. Not only is she impeccably organized, but her positive and joyful demeanor infuses the entire event with a sense of calm and happiness. Her expertise ensures that the day flows seamlessly, allowing couples to fully immerse in their special moments without any stress. She is a true joy to work with!
Kelsey brought so much to our wedding! Above and beyond, meeting and coordinating with us many times before the big day, then making everything run smoothly at the event. Could not recommend anyone more highly for a day-of coordinator.
Kelsey is phenomenal! I’m a wedding photographer and have had the pleasure of working with Kelsey on weddings. She has a great eye for details, is super attentive to her couples, and is communicative & respectful to her fellow vendors! Plus she’s just a really sweet person
Kelsey made our wedding such a smooth process. I could not be more great full to have had her insight and support! During our special day she took so much pressure off our shoulders and handled everything in stride without me knowing when things weren’t going as planned. I appreciate all her hard work and professionalism. If I had to do everything over again I’d choose to have her by my side again!
Kelsey was a rockstar for our wedding. I'm a Type A Planner personality and could not imagine the day without my coordinator Kelsey. She was helpful in so many ways, and especially creative and thoughtful of our personalities and vision. My vendors raved about her, my family raved about her ability to keep things moving, organized and stress-free for all, and best of all, my husband and I just got to enjoy our day thanks to her. I would highly recommend Kelsey for your wedding!
Kelsey did such a great job planning and coordinating our wedding! I didn’t know where to even start but she guided me through the whole process. Would highly recommend!
Kelsey is an incredible person to work with. She provided the needed insights and suggestions during the rehearsal helping to smooth out the whole process. On the day off she deftly handled the myriad of inevitable 'oops' situations . We appreciated her service tremendously!
Kelsey was a HUGE help in alleviating stress and ensuring everything ran smoothly for the day of my wedding! Every detail o never would have thought of Kelsey did and ensured they were checked off our to do list leading up to the wedding. Even when our ceremony got rained on she jumped into action to help protect the DJ and rest of the reception! 10/10 recommend hiring Kelsey for your wedding coordination.
