Hitched Events

it all with a smile. She truly helped my dream wedding become a reality. My wedding party and family continues to rave about how great they made her feel throughout the entire weekend! Kimberly, you’re an angel and a lifesaver. So grateful for you and Hitched Events!

ay the most memorable and beautiful. She is the absolute BEST in the business!

She is service oriented. She fully wants to see her brides’ visions come to life and works very hard to make the planning process easy and fun! Kimberly works with only the best vendors in the business because she also has high standards for a superior product, so my insight as mother of the bride showed these vendors clamoring to work with her and get her client’s business!!! If you are on Kimberly Rhodes Hitched-Events vendor list, you can consider yourself one of the top in the business! She definitely has expectations for them yet works along side them with the best of communication to deliver her brides a stellar product. She dots ever “i” and crosses every “t” there is. Nothing is left undone or last minute! Through the process, too, you develop a comfort level with her where she becomes not just your planner but your friend. She is one-of-a kind, and you are in the best of hands working with her! I have two daughters to still marry, and I don’t care where I’m living, I will enlist her help again in a heartbeat! She is truly the absolute best!💗

or a fact that my wedding would not have been of near the same caliber, beauty, and joyful kind of day it was without her help. She is super thorough, has tons of resources to help you plan, and helps keep you organized and feeling calm, cool, and collected. What is so special about Kimberly is that she really wants the bride to be happy. She is willing to give advice in making decisions, but in the end is always steering toward completing YOUR vision, not hers or anyone else's. I had a unique wedding with some Lord of the Rings touches I wanted to use to speak to my husband and I, and she jumped right in trying to learn what everything meant and how important it was to me! Kimberly is fun-loving, joyful, organized, and dedicated! I cannot imagine having used anyone else! Thank you Kimberly!

our monthly planning sessions. Kimberly and her team at Hitched Events are fun to work with and she helped me stay on track with our budget. Kimberly is a quick problem solver which eased stress and she gets things done. Hitched Events is great at what they do! Enjoyed every minute planning with them!

ndors, run the rehearsal, and coordinate everything/everyone on the wedding day. She made sure that anything we could have needed was taken care of before we even realized we needed something! She also made the planning process enjoyable and exciting. I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about on our wedding day because Chelsea and Kimberly were on it -- every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked Hitched Events to help coordinate our wedding. I highly recommend them!!!

LY recommend!

critic since I've planned events for work before), I set up time to meet with Kimberly. From the second I met her, I knew she was "the one" :) She greeted me with a warm hug & sat with me and my mom for over 2 hours answering every single question we had. That was the beginning of an amazing experience. She was very easy to work with, made planning fun, & someone I had full trust in from start to finish. She connected me with a team of very strong vendors who were very familiar with working together...Everyone was so close, it felt like a family coming together to plan a wedding. The whole thing went off without a hitch (pun intended, hitched events). I cannot thanks Kimberly enough for everything! She helped make our wedding dreams come true. HIGHLY recommend!!!

wedding to one of her top planners, Chelsea Wilderotter. I cannot say enough about how AWESOME Chelsea is. Planning weddings and events is a god given talent for Chelsea. She really went above and beyond any of our expectations and made my vision become a reality. Multiple phone calls, at home meetings with linen samples, vendor meetings, reviewing proposals, putting together and keeping up with the budget; you name it, she was on it! When I got flustered in situations, she handled them like a true professional; a trait not many people have. When it came down to our wedding day, everything was perfectly planned and we had Chelsea, Stephanie and Maria at our wedding ensuring our vision went off without a hitch. But, not everything goes perfect, right? We ended up having bad sideways rain that drenched our tent and guests. Our “plan” went out the window and our sit-down dinner turned into, eat where you can inside the house and let’s get the party started. Chelsea and her team AMAZED me on how they handled the situation. Tables were moved inside, everyone still received their meals (even located our vegetarians), wine was offered to guests waiting, and they offered exceptional service to our other vendors who have “never been in this situation before”. Chelsea knew I wanted to still eat at the head table after the rain died down, so she tricked my husband and I with a handful of guests to go outside and eat. A true magical moment that I always envisioned still happened. Our new kind of perfect wedding! Even with all the chaos, Chelsea and Hitched Events managed to keep us on schedule throughout the evening. I cannot thank them enough and now consider Chelsea one of my dearest friends! If you’re looking for a planner that listens, gets it right and goes above expectations do NOT let Hitched Events slip you by. It’ll be one of the best decisions you’ll make, so you can ENJOY your day knowing everything this handled!

ore. We simply didn't have to do anything but approve decisions...they handled everything else. Then, on the big day, if there were any last minute hiccups...we never knew...because Kimberly made sure the day couldn't have been more perfect. We highly recommend Hitched Events!

her job and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. You will not be disappointed.

n. She is the very, very best!

picked Hitched Events. She helped with planning from the moment we hired her, and the day before and day of were just so stress free. We were all able to just sit back and enjoy the day!

ers, we took the advice of our Catering Sales Manager at The Belo and called Kimberly at Hitched Events. Kimberly patiently answered my many questions and was very accommodating as we tried to find a time to meet that would work with the very difficult schedules of the bride, her dad and me—a feat in itself! At that first meeting, Kimberly explained that the wedding planners at Hitched Events work as a team, although one is the lead planner--each supporting the other on their weddings, and stepping in on the day of the wedding to assist the lead planner. That’s when Kimberly introduced us to Chelsea, and the two of them listened to our daughter’s description of her dream wedding and made sure they understood which vendors we already had in place and which we were missing. They asked about our budget and helped us prioritize, and they very successfully managed to calm our anxieties. But most importantly, they made our daughter feel like the beautiful bride-to-be she was, and they got all of us excited again about planning the wedding of her dreams! Chelsea accepted the challenge of helping us move forward, and over the next few months, we found in her a trusted wedding planner and a new family friend. Chelsea quickly learned that day-to-day, because our daughter’s work and grad school schedules kept her busy and difficult to reach, I was her contact. But she never lost sight of the fact that all decisions were ultimately the brides’, and even though answers to her questions were often slow to come, Chelsea always remained sweet, calm, understanding, and patient. She offered a fountain of ideas to make our daughter’s wedding different from others—and she researched the ideas we brought to her so that we would have all the information we would need to make decisions. I am a very organized and thorough person myself, and in Chelsea, I found the perfect partner. She lifted a load off of my shoulders and, beginning with our first meeting and continuing through our post-wedding brunch, she relieved my stress and gave me the gift of enjoying the wedding-planning process and my daughter's entire wedding weekend. As far as we are concerned, Chelsea and Hitched Events were heaven-sent to us—and our daughter and new son-in-law had a wedding that surpassed their ultimate dreams!

sign and found all the best vendors to make magic happen. It was the easiest process from start to finish as she would give us a small list of highly recommended vendors to research then set up meetings with the top 2 that interested us the most. Once we found the right fits, she handled all the logistics! It was great that Kimberly had so many web-based programs for communicating, storing all of our documents, keep our guest list and doing our seating chart so that I could access everything from anywhere - as well as my husband or our family members - instead of having to remember pieces of paper everywhere I went! Above all, our wedding day was perfect! We got so many compliments on the food and service, which was with a caterer that the HItched Events team has worked with countless times. Every detail was remembered and so stunning. Kimberly and Chelsea sewed my dress in the middle of the reception when it tore and no one even knew. I could not be more thankful for having had them through this process. Kimberly is truly excellent at what she does, and a wonderful person to get to know with an adorable pup!

Right from the start, Kimberly helped us with finishing details and created a perfect day of plan. She pointed out potential issues on the venue walk-through and provided economical solutions for how to remedy them. She was crucial in helping define our vision and set-up. We went into our wedding day stress-free and knowing everything was taken care of. My husband, our families and I were able to enjoy our day fully. I would recommend this team to anyone planning a wedding. They are a top-notch group-- professional, fun to work with and creative to boot!

ly but without pressure, Kimberly showed us exactly why a planner is a good idea. We are so glad we went with the full service. Her project management is fabulous but her attitude and helpfulness is even better! Kimberly had everything under control, and no task was too menial or too much. She helped resolved all kinds of situations, for example she dealt with our issue of children (both in advance and even with the uninvited the child who showed up to the seated reception), and her team even joyfully walked our sweet dog during the reception for us! Nothing seemed to ruffle her feathers, even when my husband tried to play a trick on her shortly before we left for the church. She calmly responded that she would handle it. He'd expected her to get excited, but no, she was calm! Exactly what you want throughout the planning process. She made the wedding planning so much fun! I'm sad I don't have other daughters! But I know Kimberly is definitely going to stay in our life if I have the choice! I am thrilled to have gained such a wonderful person in my world! You can not go wrong with Kimberly and the Hitched Events team.

but convincing my dad that the money would be well spent was difficult since he was footing the bill. By the time the weeks before the wedding were upon us even HE was telling people just how amazing Kimberly and her team are and that every couple getting married should hire them!! Kimberly was there for me in so many ways. Whether it be talking me through difficult situations or knowing exactly what vendors would be the best for our vision she was able to handle it all! We had a unique look in mind for our wedding and Kimberly pulled it off flawlessly! The online planning portal that is used is absolutely amazing and keeps things so organized! When you start a conversation about a specific topic all of the subsequent posts are in one place and you don't have to dig through emails to find what you have discussed! I had so many guests comment on how wonderful the event was and how we had set the bar high for weddings they would attend in the future! This would not have been possible without Kimberly as when we first met her we needed a LOT of help! Not only did Hitched Events pull off an amazing rehearsal dinner and wedding day for us but we also gained a friend in Kimberly along the way! We love you Hitched Events!!

took care of everything we needed and more. Our entire bridal party and family knew who she was and felt comfortable asking her questions. Chelsea coordinated everything between the vendors, the hotel, and the bridal party. She made sure we knew where we were supposed to be and when, and everyone knew who she was by the end of the night. We can't even count the number of times a guest at our wedding told us how amazing and organized Chelsea was. Every little detail was taken care of which made our day completely stress free. All my husband and I wanted for our wedding day was for our family and friends to not have to worry about anything and just enjoy the day. That was made possible because of Chelsea and Hitched Events.

Kimberly also helped on the wedding day and was so helpful, attentive, and also great to work with. Hitched Events is super organized and made timelines down to the minute, which my bridal party loved! Everything went so smooth at my wedding and I really feel like they played a large part in this. They truly took the stress off of me on my big day and I can't thank them enough!!

ed on my wedding day that this woman was like "a God d&mned genie" because she appeared out of nowhere, always at the right time, and fixed whatever needed fixing. To this day, I don't know how she did that. I'm enrolled currently in an accelerated master's degree program, and living in another state. There was no way I would have been able to put together the sheer perfection that Kimberly pulled off for me and my family. I'm not a very traditional or girly bride, but Kimberly made me feel at all times respected and heard. She's simply the best, and worth every dime you'll spend.

p to the wedding. Chelsea had some great, creative ideas and had a lot of helpful knowledge. I would highly recommend them to anyone, they saved me a lot of stress. They anticipated details and asked questions in advance so all would go smoothly that night! I loved having Chelsea in our corner and she is such a bubbly, enthusiastic, can do type of person who goes out of her way to make sure it all goes smoothly for you, whatever your needs may be.

ether a to-the-minute timeline of the day, communicating with vendors on my behalf, and even reserving wheelchairs for elderly grandparents on the morning of the wedding, I swear that woman can do it all. Kimberly acted as her assistant and between the two of them I had no worries on my wedding day. My family and wedding party were also incredibly impressed by Chelsea and Hitched Events and I have received so many compliments. Although I am so happy to finally be married, I am actually really sad to no longer be working with the wonderful Hitched Events ladies! They are exceptional, the BEST in the business and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a perfectly executed wedding. Thank you so very much Chelsea & Kimberly!

derful; the flowers exceptional; the venue was amazing and the food exquisite. People raved! Also, Hitched pretty much for themselves in negotiating prices and value-adds with the hotel and other vendors. Thanks KR! You are the best.

d one of the main selling points for me was the ONLINE PORTAL that she uses to collaborate with the bride/family/groom/whoever you choose to keep up-to-date on all of the plans. For example, the online portal held the budget, all contracts, vendor info, etc. and there is a "to-do" list/timeline where we would check things off as they were completed. This was huge for me because my parents could log in and read over everything to stay up-to-speed with all of the plans. Kimberly was always very efficient with our time and always made us feel like a priority. She remained calm in situations where I would be a hot mess if I didn't have her by my side! She clicked with my parents, my husband, and me which made the planning process that much easier. She is very experienced in the Dallas area and has great relationships with endless vendors. When having to make a decision, I could always trust her opinion/guidance based on past experiences. Her Day-Of Timeline was so helpful for everyone and I truly don't see how brides get through their wedding day without it! I would recommend Kimberly with Hitched Events to anyone I know getting married at any budget! Everyone in my family would say that Kimberly did an AMAZING job and made our wedding perfect!

every few weeks to stay organized and on top of things. She provided amazing recommendations for other vendors that we used and loved. Emily really took the time to get to know me and my vision. She thought of absolutely everything and made our day perfect. If anything didn't go as planned, she did an incredible job hiding it :) I cannot say enough amazing things about Hitched Events. Highly recommend to friends and will definitely use for future events!

rocess was taken care of. They asked all the right questions (including tons I would never have thought about), and helped guide me based on my preferences and style. They have amazing contacts and were happy to help make any recommendations for vendors around town. As with every wedding, there were some sensitive family issues at play and they handled everything with grace and made sure everyone was comfortable. They took the time to learn about family dynamics, learn names of the wedding party, and most importantly, understand the preferences of my husband and me to ensure everything was executed how we expected. When we had a few last minute RSVPs days before the wedding and needed to order more chairs for the reception, our chair vendor was completely out and couldn't help us. Shelby called around to several vendors to find the same matching chairs, and personally went to pick them up to save me an additional delivery charge. She returned them the day after the wedding for me as well, no questions asked. Chairs seems like a silly thing to be worried about, but any added stress the week of the wedding was completely lifted. We HIGHLY recommend Hitched Events for wedding planning. They are lovely to work with and very affordable!

g married. We did the month of coordination and were fortunate to have worked with Shelby Rhodes. Her knowledge, organization and attention to detail is extraordinary and truly made our day THE. BEST. DAY. EVER. Hiring Hitched events was the BEST and easiest decision other than saying YES to my husband. Jessica

in good hands. I loved when we started to plan she became aware of the style I wanted and thought of things ahead of time. Kimberly is the most organized person I know and the whole wedding planning process was a breeze because of her. If there was something I was unsure about Kimberly always had an answer and she really knows the best in the business and has great recommendations. The day of the wedding I was not stressed one bit because Kimberly was at the venue making sure things were getting set up and making sure people were where they needed to be. The day of timeline that she creates is my favorite. :) Kimberly has become a member of our family and we absolutely love her, we can't wait for her to help us plan future family functions! Thank you Kimberly!!!!!

throughout the whole wedding planning process. We clicked and were always ahead of schedule, which is such a great feeling during the stressful planning phase. Our wedding was spectacular. Honestly, better than I've ever imagined and it couldn't of happened without Chelsea and Kimberly. My guests and family kept on commented how everything ran so smoothly and we never had issues pop up. I'd recommend Hitched Events to any bride in the DFW area who's looking for organized, professional and attentive planners. Thank y'all for a wonderful wedding!

d, so I knew I could breathe easy since Kimberly would never let any detail fall through the cracks. I also really appreciated that she understood what my unique style was immediately and always made sure each element fit the vision I had. If you look at pictures of Hitched Events weddings, you will see that they all look different - a testament to how committed Kimberly is to staying true to each bride's unique vision. I would have to say that one of the best parts about Kimberly was that every time we would meet with her or talk to her on the phone to discuss wedding details, it always felt like we were hanging out with a good friend! She provides that perfect balance of professionalism and fun. I could not recommend Kimberly Rhodes more highly.

y for the big day. They had great suggestions and made sure I was ready for things I never even would have thought of! It was great having someone to organize vendors. Definitely worth every penny.

s by interviewing planners in our area. Living in Dallas, there was no shortage of renowned and highly qualified planners to choose from, and thus the first challenge was to identify who would best fit both our personalities and needs. We became aware of Hitched Events and its owner, Kimberly Rhodes, thanks to a wedding venue vendor who was impressed by Kimberly’s work. Kimberly’s warmth and professionalism were evident from our very first meeting with her; throughout the 12+ months of planning, she was our advocate, consultant, advisor, and friend. My daughter was the type of bride that had a very clear vision of the feel, style, and look she wanted for her wedding. Kimberly connected us with vendors she knew could bring that vision to reality (with our budget in mind) and, oh my goodness, the result was nothing less than spectacular! Since my daughter was so specific in what she wanted, my biggest fear was that the final result would not meet her expectations. I had nothing to worry about; everything turned out even better than we had hoped for. Choosing Kimberly was instrumental in allowing us to have an incredibly relaxed wedding day; we could focus on enjoying the day knowing she was making sure everything was taking place as it should. We chose to do the full planning package with Hitched Events. Kimberly was not the least expensive of the wedding planners we interviewed, nor was she the most expensive. However, I can unequivocally say that she was worth every penny, and if we had to do it all over again, we would hire her in a heartbeat! You cannot go wrong with Kimberly in your corner; she gives her brides 110% and goes above and beyond to make the wedding planning process as seamless as possible.

d me a detailed plan to execute it, which was so incredibly helpful with trying to plan a wonderful wedding and working full time. Kimberly and her team responded quickly when there was anything that I needed along the way, and also introduced me to some incredible vendors. I think every bride is worried about the day of hoping that everything goes to plan. I can honestly say that I did not worry at all. I had full trust/confidence in Kimberly and her team that they would take care of every single detail and they did. The day was more than I could have even imagined. Hitched Events allowed me to truly enjoy every single minute of my wedding day with my new husband, family, and friends. My husband and I are trying to come up with another party idea just so we can used Hitched Events again! LOVE HITCHED EVENTS!!

ly easier. It gave us the opportunity to really enjoy and remain worry-free throughout our wedding weekend. From the early stages of planning to "day of" execution, their attention to detail and ability to anticipate and troubleshoot on their feet truly set our minds at ease. Kimberly's knowledge of the industry provided us a rolodex of people, vendors, and special request items that helped personalize our event. Her reputation and relationships with these people/vendors were influential during negotiations as well. Kimberly's seasoned experience was invaluable because she knows the right questions to ask and the relevant demands to make. Everything surrounding the wedding and reception was perfect. I could not have been happier with their services and could not recommend them more highly.

al planning package that Kimberly custom made to our needs. We were VERY budget-conscious, but upon meeting Kimberly and feeling totally at ease, we knew we just had to use her. She was worth every penny!! My husband lived in Houston while we planned our wedding in Dallas, so my mom did most of the planning with me. Kimberly was patient with us for every crazy meeting and question we had (or at least pretended to be--haha!). Even when I called her stressed out about something, she would always calm me down and help me develop a plan. She was my life saver!! She always gave her honest opinion, which is what my mom and I needed. Her time line for the day-- a personalized copy for vendors, girls and guys-- was INCREDIBLE! Everyone knew what they were supposed to do and when to the minute. The day of the wedding, I was completely stress-free. All of my friends commented on how calm I was-- it was literally because I knew that Kimberly, Emily and Chelsea had it all taken care of. I was able to enjoy the entire day and soak it all in. Kimberly picked up lunch for the bridesmaids so that my mom didn't have to leave. Her team coordinated the buses for the wedding party and guests and made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time. Plus, the emergency kit they brought was a life saver! We did pictures in the grass and my dress had 3 moderate sized mud spots on the train. Without batting an eye, Kimberly sat and started cleaning it until it was all out! At the reception, she single-handedly bustled my dress for me before we were introduced. My husband and I never had to ask for a drink, we ate a full meal, and danced the night away! There were countless other things she did throughout the night to help everything go seamlessly. Our wedding night was seriously the best night of my life and everything I've ever imagined thanks to Kimberly's expert advice, guidance, and professionalism. You HAVE to use Hitched Events-- you will not be disappointed I promise you!

the man of my dreams! Needless to say my parents already knew Kimberly too, so it was an easy decision to hire her shortly after I got engaged. Kimberly's knowledge and recommendations were absolutely SPOT ON throughout the entire wedding process. From helping us prioritize the wedding budget to vendor recommendations, her knowledge and expertise literally saved us HOURS of research and helped us avoid any hiccups along the way. I work full time and even went through a job change four months before the wedding, so the time saved by leaning on Kimberly's expertise was truly invaluable. Kimberly is professional, organized, thorough, and FUN! She is a good listener and truly cares about your vision for your wedding. She has a stellar reputation in the wedding industry and other wedding vendors love working with her. She is always prepared and travels to every wedding with an emergency kit. (I was especially thankful for the emergency kit - she had to sew me in to my dress!) I am truly thankful for Kimberly and her team making my wedding day absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Hitched Events!!

ave yet, attending taste tests and meetings when my then-fiance couldn't come. she did everything and it was flat out amazing. i had this vision in my mind as to what we wanted for out big day, but she transformed it into a TRULY beautiful, fun, and stress free time. everyone had so much fun at our wedding and are still talking about what an amazing job she and her team pulled off. i will recommend hitched events to literally everyone i know from here on out that gets married. i was even sad to see her go. she took care of everything and i could not have been more happy. so thanks Hitched Events. YOU GUYS ROCK!

eremony and reception were. It was all thanks to Kimberly!! Kimberly and her team are fun, honest, and dependable!

calm demeanor while also being highly efficient. I remember at one point during the wedding reception I teared up while I was talking to a guest and suddenly a kleenex was in my hand. I didn't even see Kimberly do it - amazing. She is worth every single penny.

elieved and confident in putting the rest of the planning in her hands. She advised us on plans, situations and timelines we could have never tackled (or even been aware of) without her. From the rehearsal to the wedding day, she guided our entire group, ran errands for me and helped our wedding day dreams come to life. I admire her professionalism and her ability to know when to step up and even when to back off and let things be. I say this because I realize how important it is (especially for brides) to have a person in charge who can keep everyone in line, informed and on schedule, but at the same time is also intuitive, patient, and mindful of different circumstances. (For instance, me being 45 minutes late to the rehearsal. Oopsie! haha!) She took everything in stride and made my family and friends feel very comfortable. We are sincerely grateful for her and Emily's hard work, and I highly recommend Hitched Events as a necessity for any bride who hopes to be stress free and solely focused on every moment of her wedding day. Thank you Hitched Events for making me feel like one of those brides! I am still floating on air. :) Sincerely, Ashley & Chris

so appreciative of all the hard work she put into it. Whatever need I had, she was quick to have a solution or help out. My family and bridal party were very complementary of how help she was in executing the big day. I now know that I may the right decision hiring Hitched Events as my wedding planner.

t this was going to be difficult to plan. Kimberley’s expertise, exceptional organizational skills, attention to details, professionalism and promptness made everything so easy for us. She did it all! We were able to sit back and enjoy the perfect wedding without any worries thanks to Kimberley and her team.

great at recommending different vendors that we should work with. Future brides - it is so important to feel comfortable with the people you're working with! We ended up with an amazing team of vendors that not only understood our vision, but were also very conscious of our budget. Which, hello, is absolutely amazing! The day of the wedding couldn't have been any better. I enjoyed a relaxing day with my family and bridesmaids while Kimberly and her assistants, Shelley and Chelsea, were handling all the details of setting up for the wedding. Future brides - this is exactly why you should hire Kimberly! Enjoy the day getting pampered and eating tiny sandwiches and drinking champagne, and let Kimberly and her team deal with the table arrangements, which linens should go on which table, floral deliveries, cake delivery, DJ setting up, setting up chairs, making sure the draping is correctly set up, etc. (yes, she did all this.. and more!!) Side note - she'll even come check in on you while you're getting ready to make sure you're doing ok! Need anything last minute? No? You're good? Ok, well she just wanted to check.. and give you a big hug because she's so excited you're getting married! I am very hands on person and I like to be in control of things (some might call this a Type A personality or maybe I'm borderline OCD), but I was totally comfortable with handing over everything to Kimberly and her team and having 100000% confidence in them to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. If you've read my comments above then it should come as no surprise that everything was perfect. You may be asking yourself, "Did anything go wrong the day of the wedding?" NOPE! Well, not unless you consider my dad getting lost from the ceremony to the reception. Totally his fault! But, totally not a big deal. However, Kimberly was on top of it. She located my dad and directed him to the reception. She even made sure that the reception didn't "officially" start until he arrived (i.e. we waited on our introductions until my dad arrived, so he could see it). Clutch move! Kimberly, Shelley, and Chelesa were so attentive to not only the needs of my husband and I during the evening, but also to our bridal party and families. Are you too busy running around talking to all your guests to notice that it's time for your dance with your dad? Don't worry.. Kimberly is going to get you when it's time, AND has already given your dad a 5 minute warning and he's waiting for you up front! Did your mom put down her water or glass of wine, and now she's looking around for where she put it down? Don't worry.. Shelley and Chelsea are two steps ahead of you and already have a water ready for her! These are just two tiny examples, but these tiny gestures make the biggest difference! Bottom line: Kimberly and her team at Hitched Events are the better than the best. They're the ultimate best! Words can't express how thankful we are for all of her help in making sure that our wedding was the best day ever.

o work with and worked with excellency at all times. The wedding, which could have been a stressful experience, is my most cherished memory now. I really miss my wedding and working with Kimberly. She knows the industry and knows who to recommend for a DJ/ band, florist, venue, makeup artist etc based off of who you are and what you personally want need. I told her my vision and she made it happen! She has a lot of experience and was an event planner for a large university at one point. You can be as involved in the wedding planning process as you want with her, either letting her do just about everything or just the things that you need her help with! That being said she customizes a plan and price just for you and what you want. She has an easy to use online platform that you communicate with her on, which is helpful because we would post lots of pictures back and forth, she would put meetings on the calendar there that would alert me if I had an appointment to go and look at something or meet with a vendor, and other people could link up too, so my husband and mom saw everything that we talked about. My personal advice: if you are considering having a wedding planner, meet with Kimberly for coffee and have her explain her services. She is very kind and enthusiastic about her work! She is skilled and has done this for many years, so she knows the mistakes that other brides have made and will make sure that you have everything in order and most importantly ENJOY YOUR WEDDING DAY because she is handling everything on that day especially.

made everything so easy! I could absolutely count on her. She was a joy to work with and has a comforting can-do attitude. She is absolutely the planner to hire. Our day went off without a hitch because of her organization and experience. We used her for month-out and day of and I wouldn't have made it without her!

o great service and all within your budget. Without her on my wedding day I would have pulled my hair out! I'm so glad I ended up choosing her as my wedding planner and coordinator as opposed to others. I highly recommend her!!

way to what I wanted and when the big day got here, Emily made sure that everything was exactly what I wanted and more! I dreamed of the perfect wedding and got something even better! What sets Emily and Hitched Events apart from the rest of the wedding coordinators is how they handle situations. There was an issue at my wedding reception when the cake fell to the ground, and of course being the bride I got upset. It was early in the evening and I was fixating on not being able to cut the cake and get a picture of it with my new husband. Before I got to Emily (just five minutes after the cake fell), she already had it all taken care of. She had already met with the venue to get a replacement cake and figured out what they were going to do for me. She calmly explained to me that the venue was already baking another cake and that it would be out in time for the cutting and toasts. She stayed with me and repeated these words until they sunk in; and then the night moved on after it. Emily was so wonderful because of the way she handled this situation (and me) and even though we had a snafu, it was still the perfect wedding because of her.

quickly, and what I wanted in my wedding. When I couldn't explain what I wanted, or wasn't sure on something she was always there with the perfect opinion. Her organizational skills are out of this world. Everyone who was a part of the wedding knew exactly where they needed to be and what they needed to be doing on my wedding day. She’s extremely responsive, and always a step ahead. There isn’t one detail that she hasn’t thought about or isn’t prepared for. I was never stressed because I knew everything was taken care of and under control. I would not be able to say my wedding day was perfect if I had planned it on my own, but since Kimberly and Emily were there my day was PERFECT! I cannot thank Hitched Events enough!!!

fit for the needs of our event. This required us to select all of the vendors, yet, Emily provided recommendations when we needed additional help. She led a detailed walk through of our wedding and reception site nearly a month before the wedding. She was also in charge of all final communications with our vendors and ensured our wedding day went smooth. Emily made our wedding day run without any major hitches. The detailed wedding timeline helped the whole wedding party to remain calm and have fun without having to worry about last minute items. I would highly recommend Emily and the Hitched Events team. Thank you!

we had made most of the big decisions and secured most of our vendors but we had no idea how we were going to pull it all together into our vision of our wedding day... We were lost! My new hubby found Hitched Events after bringing me to my senses to realize that I could not do this alone. Kimberly and Emily's month of package was just what we needed to tie everything together. From the very beginning in our consultation, they listened to every detail we had in mind for our unique vision for our wedding, made recommendations, gave suggestions, and started to guide us through the planning process several months in advance. I thought that the big decisions like the photographer, florist, and caterer were the hardest part of planning a wedding... I was so wrong! I had no idea that all the small details and decisions while tying them all together would be so overwhelming. Kimberly and Emily took all of our ideas and details and made everything incredibly simple for us. The month of the wedding was stress-free and relaxed because of Kimberly and Emily's amazing attention to detail and incredibly positive attitude. Their planning and wedding weekend agenda and timeline is quite impressive! They had every detail planned out to the minute and they coordinated with all vendors and the wedding party (including challenging family members who are always late) to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even our guests were impressed! Kimberly and Emily thought of everything and executed every detail beautifully! Our wedding day was everything that we imagined and we could not have done it without Kimberly and Emily!

ially for a girl who had no idea where to start! She is professional, an expert in the field, and is well connected with regards to having many contacts for wedding vendors across DFW. She works hard to find you the best vendor for your budget and gives you true advice. The day of went off without a hitch and was SO perfect I want to do it all over again! I can't thank her enough for all of her hard work in pulling it all together. I would definitely recommend Kimberly & Hitched Events!!

s of planning a true pleasure and culminated in a most exquisite celebration. Melissa and James’ wedding day was everything they hoped for… they were beaming throughout their special day - joyfully experienced and shared with families and friends. First and foremost, I so appreciated that Kimberly listened to Melissa and James’ vision of what they wanted for their wedding. Her vendor recommendations were all wonderful and a ‘spot on’ response and reflection of their wishes. A welcomed unexpected benefit we gained from Kimberly’s services was her expert negotiating skills with many of the vendors. She was very respectful of our budget and had every line item addressed. Kimberly’s BASECAMP website wedding planning portal set up is amazing – everyone involved in the process had historical and up to date information and communications all organized and right at our finger tips. As with any planning process, there were a couple of unexpected hiccups that came up which Kimberly quickly resolved in skilled fashion. Kimberly was also proactive in her services – when the weather forecast called for a cold front to come through the night before the wedding, Kimberly suggested and arranged for last minute coat racks to be available for our venue. She had EVERY detail considered and covered with flawless, professional execution. Kimberly also has a great team. I really enjoyed and appreciated Emily and her focused presence with the Melissa, the bridal party and me the on the day of the wedding. She provided a lovely, calm and attentive support to ensure all was prepared and ready for our wedding/reception venue arrival. Once there, Emily was right there by our side to offer and assist with everything and anything we needed. From being the ‘look out’ person for ensure no preview bridal peeks from the groom, to assisting Melissa in moving about in her dress and offering to get my first celebration drink after the ceremony – Emily was wonderful! Mary Kate is apprenticing with Kimberly this year – she was our bonus person! Mary Kate did a fabulous job on the hotel guest goodie bags and I know she was a great extra set of eyes and helpful hands with all the wedding day set up and logistics. From our very first interview meeting with Kimberly to the end of the wedding night when she stood out in the cold to signal hand motion me so I could back up my car safely for loading and ALL the multitude of the steps in between, I offer Kimberly my heartfelt thanks, gratitude and highest commendation. As the Mother of the Bride, Kimberly’s presence and Hitched Events services gave me the gift of joy in each and every step of planning and truly celebrating Melissa and James’ wedding. Simply Priceless….

got engaged. That was the first sign Kimberly was “the one”…believe me when I say you want a planner who your vendors like working with! And then I met Kimberly and we instantly clicked...I knew I needed her to pull this thing off! I had a pretty good idea as to what I wanted our wedding to look like, but I needed help picking and managing vendors and executing all things wedding leading up to the big day. I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, hiring Kimberly was hands down the best money we spent through the wedding process. And it's paid off in more ways than I could've imagined in that I not only had an awesome planner and a PERFECT wedding, I gained an amazing friend. Kimberly works with some of the best of the best vendors out there...she would give me two or three vendors she recommended in each category, based on my style, design plan and budget, and I kid you not with almost every category I don't think I could've gone wrong picking any one of her recommendations. Combine the high level of vendors she recommended with her INCREDIBLE level of organization and insight, and it's a thing of beauty to behold. Her online organization portal became my home base for the 10 months during which we planned the wedding and kept me on track. And her timelines are really incredible. Not only does she put together this beast of a master timeline, she takes the time to customize timelines for each vendor that kept them in the loop but not bogged down in details they didn't need to know (did I mention how much vendors love working with her???) Kimberly provided organization, recommendations and advice throughout the process, but most importantly she gave us peace of mind. I had people comment throughout the wedding weekend about how calm I was, and how calm my fiance was, and it 100 percent was because we trusted our vendors and, more than that, we trusted Kimberly to keep everything moving (and to not let me know if anything went wrong!) :) My husband, and parents, and in-laws, and bridesmaids, and groomsmen and guests (basically everyone) commented on how impressed they were with how smoothly everything flowed and what a pleasant time they had interacting with the whole Hitched team. We didn't have to worry about anything the whole weekend. It truly couldn't have been better. And while I keep raving about Kimberly I must also mention Emily Rea and Mary Kate Erb, part of the Hitched team, were incredible as well, and so sweet! In closing, if anyone asked for my number one piece of advice for planning a wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to say, "Hire Hitched Events." Everything else will fall into place from there.

teracting with all of the vendors and venue was fabulous & flawless. Please don't hesitate to use us as references. Having you as a coordinator was an exceptional experience. I could enjoy the day with Sarah & family knowing that you and your staff were handling all of the day of details. It was tremendous. We've had nothing but compliments about the entire day.

The first time I met with Kimberly, I knew that we were going to get along great, and that I would be able to trust her with anything and everything! From her impeccable organization, and professionalism, to her passion for making her clients happy, to her business smarts and her execution of EVERYTHING, she is unbelievable! She had a way of keeping me organized without coming across as pushy or bossy....she would follow up about everything, sometimes twice to make sure I remembered. I was impressed from the moment I met Kimberly, but then was blown away when my mom and I met with her and her assistant, Emily a month out. We had a 3 hour meeting to go over all the details that would need to be addressed in order to help the big day run smoothly. She made everything so easy, organized and stress free. Her ability to work with vendors, negotiate with them, and follow up with them was a huge task lifted from me, and allowed me to really enjoy the month leading up to the wedding. She is unbelievably organized, she anticipates and has a plan B for everything. Not only was her planning and executing perfect, she was still somehow able to go above and beyond more than what I would have ever expected. From going to pickup my cake stand, then returning it the day after the wedding, to packing up the gifts at the reception in her and her assistants car and delivering them to our house, then emailing me a copy of our wedding license after leaving for the honeymoon (i didn't realize we needed it), she really was amazing. There was no doubt in my mind that she did an amazing job as our planner/coordinator, but it really made me realize it after the wedding when my dad and husband commented on how incredible of a job she and her team did. I honestly don't know how we would have pulled things off with out Kimberly and Emily.

mberly caring as much about my wedding as myself. If you want memories that stretch more than your Wedding day, Hitched Events is your choice. Hitched Events prides themselves with working with the best of the best vendors. If you do not want a worry on your wedding day you must use Hitched Events and her superb vendors. Kimberly is the most detailed person, having a separate schedule for everyone involved to make sure it runs smoothly. As I am writing this un-justifying review, I receive a text from Kimberly “Miss your face… That is all”. My Wedding was 2 months ago. You must have Kimberly Rhodes, Hitched Events, help plan your wedding. It is the only way!! My parents favored Kimberly as she was the only planner that wanted to meet in person at our office. All other interviews were via telephone. She is one of a kind.

c and helpful as her. She made our wedding run so smoothly - Not just the day of, but throughout all 8 months of planning. I would recommend Hitched Events for any couple looking for the best of the BEST!!!

nds who had planned their own weddings that was the best advice they gave, make sure some one can take over on the day of so you can enjoy all that was planned. When I was deciding on a planner, I met with a few to see who I connected with and who would be the best planner for me. Kimberly was perfect!! She was so nice, organized, very detail oriented, and we connected right away. When we met she showed me the software she utilized during the planning process which provided tasks that needed to be completed during the year and who was to complete these tasks (ie me, my fiancé, or Hitched Events). Also she showed me a copy of her documents that she used during the day of the wedding to make sure the day ran seamlessly, it was a 7+ page document with the events of the wedding day listed in 5 to 15 minute increments, looking at this I knew she would cover every detail and make sure my day was perfect. Kimberly also provided me with references, who confirmed exactly what I thought, Kimberly does amazing work!!!! Kimberly was involved during our entire year of planning and found us amazing vendors who were in our budget and did amazing work!!!! For each of our vendors, she set us up to meet with them to make sure we liked them and the ideas they proposed. She was did a great job and picked perfect matches for us. Kimberly never steered us wrong, she guided us through the entire planning process perfectly!! She had great ideas that helped us put personal details on the wedding. Kimberly thought of everything!!!!

b that doesn’t allow for a lot of free time, planning a wedding wasn't the easiest. But with Kimberly, it was not only less stressful, but the process became more enjoyable for all of us. From the get go, Kimberly met with us, communicated with my mother via phone, email, and not to mention kept us extremely organized through the private blog she set up for us and her to communicate through. I am still in complete shock by how the actual wedding day went down. Kimberly and her assistants were there and had everything taken care of. My mother, mother in-law, bridesmaids, groom and groomsmen, never had to even think for a minute whether or not they had to be doing something or be anywhere. One might say, their wedding day was the “perfect day.” I can say, with some help from Hitched Events, our day was more than perfect! Throughout my entire experience with Kimberly, she remained professional, attentive to all of our needs, and extremely supportive. I will forever be thankful for Kimberly and Hitched Events!

menting on how calm my mother and I were. Our response was that we were so calm because we had Kimberly. :)

ive is that all my friends through the wedding planning to the reception commented on how calm I was -- my response was "It's because we have Kimberly" I can't wait till my younger daughter gets married !

nd concerns to her; I knew she had everything covered. And she did! Kimberly deserves a perfect score of 5.0. She will be our first call when my other daughter gets engaged.

ers, I can say with confidence that Kimberly was one of the best decisions I made when it came to our wedding. She had all of our appointments organized so that when I came in town we could get as much accomplished as possible. Her network of vendors is certainly the cream of the crop. During the weekend of the wedding, Kimberly was there from start to finish to make sure everything went smoothly. It was really nice for my mom and me to be able to fully enjoy the moment as Kimberly took care of every last detail. You will not regret working with Kimberly and her all-star team!

putting out fires to enjoy myself. I did not want the stress on myself and I did not want to put a damper on my family and friend's good time. Kimberly was the first planner I spoke with. I instantly knew she was the perfect person to help me. She is energetic, friendly and bubbly, this is apparent the moment you meet her. She is incredibly organized and literally thought of everything, so I did not have to. She did not miss or overlook one detail; her wedding weekend timelines are true masterpieces. In moments of panic she is calm, collected and always has a solution before she comes to you with the problem. For instance, the night of the rehearsal we discovered one of the bridesmaids purchased the wrong dress (yes, you read that correctly). I panicked. If I had not had Kimberly my night and possibly the big day could have been ruined. She saved the day (and the life of my bridesmaid) by speeding to Dallas to purchase the correct dress while I went on to enjoy the rehearsal dinner. She handles all those moments/people that you cannot predict, from crazy church ladies to fake flowers in a bouquet to embarrassing in-laws. The best service Kimberly provides that she does not mention is insurance, hiring her means you can actually enjoy the planning process and your wedding day. We spend a small fortune on our weddings and in some girl’s cases they do not truly take in the day and enjoy it. I’m not one of those girls. I look back on my wedding day and even though it was a whirlwind, it was perfect. I enjoyed every moment without the stress of silly details that have no business tainting such a special day. This is all due to Kimberly and I cannot thank her enough. Hiring her was the ABSOLUTE best decision I made.

nd reception that enhanced my daughter's wedding. Kimberly was assertive and bold enough to take charge and make sure people and vendors were where they needed be but didn't compromise her professionalism at any point. She was unbelievably detail-oriented and her experience planning events was evident as she thought of things that I would have never even considered. I look back on those last few weeks leading up to and including the day of the wedding and can't imagine doing it again without Kimberly's help. There's no question I would hire her again.

to hangout with the bridal party the whole time. I miss working with her and I'm sad that it is all over. She is money WELL WELL spent.

, PATIENCE and charm helped us set the stage for our forever and we will be forever grateful!! Family and friends are still raving about our beautiful wedding and reception that went off without a glitch. (or if there was one, I never knew about it thanks to the service provided by Hitched Events.) I believe I got her gold package but I definitely received MULTI-PLATINUM service from day 1. My husband and I travel allot with work so it can be difficult getting us on the same page at the same time so Kimberly was a life saver during this process and kept us sane. She pretty much designed our entire wedding and all we did was show up!! Kimberly, you are PHENOMENAL!! Thank you!!

ly stand out were her passion for work – She would call to check-in on me just to make sure I was having a good week and see if there were any wedding planning details she could take off my plate. She was always on-time (early) for every appointment and created a timeline that was tailored for ME (the bride), bridesmaids, groom, groomsmen and vendors. She went above and beyond to ensure that every little detail was not missed. In additional to Kimberly, her outstanding team made sure me and my bridesmaids were well taken care of all day. They did a great job making sure we stayed on track with pictures and getting us from location to location flawlessly. The Hitched Event Team made our Wedding ABSOLUTLY PERFECT. We couldn’t ask for a better coordinator and would recommend Kimberly to any bride.

or such a big day, but as soon as I met Kimberly, I knew I was in great hands! Throughout the process, Hitched kept us on track and minimized stress by recommending the best vendors for my budget and style. Kimberly attended to details I'd never even thought of and on the big day, she kept the bridal party and family on schedule and everything went off without, well..., without a hitch. The best part? I was stress-free and really enjoyed my day knowing everything was under control. Hiring Hitched Events was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process! And, I'm not the only one who thinks so - my DAD said the same thing! I only wish I could give more stars.

rganized, full of great suggestions, well connected throughout the DFW vendor industry - anytime I had a questions/thoughts/concerns I knew I could email or text her and it was taken care of so quickly. One of my favorite lines I heard from her, over and over, was: 'ok, I've got it, mark it off your list.' - and I did because I knew she really did have it and it would be taken care of. My wedding day was picture perfect, everything ran smoothly and efficiently. It helped that the day of timeline that Kimberly creates and provides covers every last detail and clues every person into where they need to be and when. So many of my friends and family told me how impressed they were with those details and how flawless everything came off. I knew I would be ok with most of the big plans for my wedding because I've got a great side kick in my mom but we both decided that once the event arrived we didn't want to have to deal with anymore details or be the point of contact. Kimberly was the perfect person to come in and tie everything together. I recommend full disclosure with her -- tell her all your details, thoughts, vendors chosen, decisions still to be made, etc. She'll note it, help where needed and literally keep everything together for you. I love being able to tell everyone I wasn't stressed or worried the day of my wedding. That I truly had so much fun and it was the best day of my life. I know I owe a lot of that stress-free fun to Hitched Events. Almost wish I had another reason to throw a wedding soon just so we could work together again! :)

ent. With any wedding there will be a few bumps in the road, that just comes with the nature of planning a wedding period, the bride and I always felt that we could call or e-mail Kimberly for advice or just any random question we could think of. Without Hitched-Events the wedding planning process would not have been such a pleasure. The organization that Hitched-Events provided throughout the process was world-class, the portal she has allows clients to interact with Kimberly electronically and keeps everything in order from things to do and general planning to do's. She works out a budget for you and every time something gets booked it is noted on the excel formatted budget sheet, so you'll always know where you financially stand. She went above and beyond for us at times and that is one of the reasons we are going to miss the interactions we had with Kimberly of Hitched-Events.

lly! Every time I needed something, she was very responsive and always professional. Kimberly knows and works with some of THE best vendors in Dallas who all enjoying working with her. Just having hitched events as my wedding coordinator allowed me to have awesome vendors (cake,flowers, music,etc) that provided services that exceeded all of my expectations! On the day of the wedding I did not have to worry about ANYTHING! This was the most important day of my life and I was able to enjoy every moment and not stress about anything because Kimberly and her team took care of every detail. My vision of my perfect wedding was exactly what Kimberly gave me and more! I am sad I will not be working with Kimberly now that the wedding is over, she did such an amazing job and my bridesmaids and family can not stop talking about how Kimberly was the PERFECT wedding coordinator who went over and beyond for my wedding!

nerary for wedding weekends is like no other timeline that anyone in our wedding party had ever seen. Even our groomsmen were saying how smooth our wedding weekend was due to Kimberly. Kimberly uses a portal with her client that allows you to see your budget, send/receive message, upload files, view contracts and pictures all in one convenient website. This was very helpful to me since my job didn't allow much free time for meeting and phone calls. Hitched Events helps you to plan the wedding of YOUR dreams. Kimberly is assertive yet whatever your vision is she will take that and make it the best it can be for your special day. She does all of her work with a professional attitude while at the same time you can tell she is just as excited about your wedding day as you are. Even during my frustrating moments of wedding planning (every bride to be has these), knowing that I had Kimberly as my planner ease my nerves throughout the process. I was very cautious about my budget. Kimberly helped me get the best wedding for my money in regards to choosing the best vendors for my price category and gave creative ideas that added that special touch to my special wedding! Once we decided on our venue, she not only looked over our contract but also was able to get us a $500 discount on the venue. My bridesmaids have all told me that when they get married they already know who their wedding planner will be...Kimberly of Hitched Events!!!
