Just Save the Date

comfortable throughout the whole process. She was always available to answer questions or provide suggestions on what we needed completed. When selecting vendors, she made quality recommendations based on what she had learned from us. She understood what we wanted and made sure that it was executed precisely. Our original wedding venue was damaged due to Hurricane Irma, but we didn't know the exact damage until a month after the storm hit. When we found out we had to select a new venue, Kelly was quick to act and extremely helpful in securing a new location with the same amenities and costs, all within a week's time. The day of our wedding (as well as the previous night's rehearsal) went without a hitch and that is because of Kelly. She made sure vendors were on point, she made sure we knew where and when we needed to be places, she made sure our wedding party and our officiant were comfortable in what they had to do, and made us feel relaxed and ready with a giant smile on her face the entire time. Kelly wasn't just a wedding planner, she also became a good friend. We would whole heartedly recommend Kelly to anyone trying to choose a planner.

our day stressfree. I highly recommend using them!

thing went exactly how I had planned and through some difficult obstacles she managed a friendly smile. This girl is absolutely amazing and I can't thank her enough for everything she did.

of coordinating was spot-on! She has a wonderful personality and was very accommodating when we visited prior to the wedding to meet with some of the vendors and explore Key West. Sometimes she was a little slow to respond in between the time when we selected the vendors and the actual wedding day, but maybe that's the norm with wedding planners. Still, she has expert knowledge and day-of skills that made getting married far away from home a breeze.

aken care of with honest feedback. When my videographer would not get back to me for months after the wedding, she made sure that I got my archival DVDs no matter what. Very sweet and would highly recommend!

e over 1 month out to coordinate vendor activity and event execution. When I contacted Kelly Fowler, she was already booked for my wedding date but said that her assistant, Leslie, was available. During the planning phase, I communicated regularly with both Kelly and Leslie. They were happy to answer all of my questions and provided honest feedback on vendor options. Despite giving birth only 1 month before my event, Kelly remained engaged in all communication and all meetings (live and over the phone). Essentially, I had two coordinators for the price of one! My wedding was at the Audubon House where there is no back-up for rain (they do not even allow tents or sails on the property). When there was a 40% chance of rain and storms on my wedding day, I was pretty stressed out and too busy to figure out a back-up plan. Leslie and Kelly took responsibility for finding a back-up venue and found two great locations. They scheduled time with the venues and took us to visit both so that we could decide which property was preferable to us. They reviewed all of my contracts and helped me to decide on the best back-up plan. They completely took all of the stress away by coming up with a back-up plan that was almost as amazing as my original plan! Leslie and Kelly both assisted with the wedding rehearsal. Leslie brought another assistant to the actual wedding. On the wedding day, Leslie took care of EVERYTHING. I never once received a call from a vendor who did not know where to be or what to do. Leslie completely shielded me from everything! Although the florist and the vintage furniture vendor were providing almost all of the décor, I brought several things that I gave to Leslie (menus, signage, escort cards, gifts, vendor payments etc.) and she took care of everything. Leslie was at my venue the entire day for vendor set-up and stayed there for the entire ceremony. She checked in with us several times to make sure we could hear music, the food/drink service was good etc. The skies did open up and dump rain for a few minutes during dinner. As the rain came down, Leslie kept us calm and handled the situation with grace. While the whole process with Great Events from start to finish was a positive experience, the flawless wedding day execution is what I am most grateful for. I literally had zero stress on my wedding day! Both Leslie and Kelly are professional, experienced and well connected with the vendors. You will spend a lot of time with these gals, sharing your dreams/fears/ideas/plans etc. and then they are with you every moment on one of the most significant days of your life. It is great to have a planner/coordinator that you consider a friend, someone you might want to be there even if they weren’t working for you.

eceived the first draft of our wedding weekend schedule, I sat back, smiled, showed my then husband-to-be and said 'right here is why we have Kelly.' From that moment on the only real wedding stress I felt was getting things shipped from Arizona and our traveling gear packed. As soon as I stepped on that plane I knew Kelly was handling the receipt of some very large boxes from FedEx, finalizing the schedule and contacting every vendor and all the other little details. The day of the wedding Kelly and her assistant handled every little piece like conductors of an orchestra - everything fell into place smoothly. All my changes during the months and week leading to the day, my last silly questions the day of before I remembered I could let go of the reins, the excited family members, last minute centerpiece changes, even holding back traffic on Eaton Street so the wedding party could cross easily was all handled beautifully by Kelly and her assistant. We are very happy with her services and all her help. Just Save the Date made our wedding day drama and stress free so we could enjoy and remember everything with a smile. Thank you!
