Where to begin..... I honestly can’t imagine how we would have ever survived the wedding planning process without Kaleena. My (now) husband and I were trying to put together a budget-conscious wedding and weren’t certain that we would be able to afford a wedding coordinator. We were planning our wedding in New Hampshire (where Kaleena is located) from Colorado. During our first Facetime conversation with Kaleena she listed and described all of the responsibilities she covers as part of her services, and the vast majority of them we hadn’t even considered. It was clear that we were in way over our heads, and we realized that wouldn’t be able to do it without her. Throughout the planning process Kaleena was punctual, professional, friendly, and ENCOURAGING. At the end of every check in conversation I would feel that the decisions and options I chose were the best decisions and that everything was under control. For those of you currently planning and receiving a lot of “advice” on the way things “should be” at your wedding, I can’t emphasize enough how invaluable having Kaleena to work with is. She is incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful neutral party sounding board. She also helped us to find other great local vendors and to optimize our budget. She organized, verified, double-checked, and helped us host an amazing wedding within our budget. We didn’t run out of anything, and at the same time we didn’t have too much excess. We did have quite a bit of liquor left over, but thanks to Kaleena we had purchased it from a store that allowed returns on anything unopened. In the weeks leading up to the wedding Kaleena picked it up to a whole new level. She made spreadsheets of everything we still needed to do and even came up with several hair and make-up recommendations for me. She was always available and always reassuring. Because of her, we were able to feel excited about the wedding. She navigated difficult family members with incredible finesse. Finally, the day of the wedding! Kaleena, in her usual way, made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone got along. My husband’s cousin wanted to do the flowers and Kaleena made sure she had everything she needed. His mother made the cakes and Kaleena made sure they were safely stored until the wedding. We even had a wind storm that knocked all of the centerpieces down minutes before the ceremony, and somehow Kaleena was able to put everything back together using extras of things she personally brought with her. We didn’t have a bridal party or maid/man of honor. Kaleena was the person we both looked to for helping with everything and all of our loved ones just got to be present and enjoy the day without having any responsibilities. She pinned my husband’s boutonniere on, and bustled my dress. She was always there when we needed her. Not only did we love and enjoy our wedding day but the resounding feedback we have received from all guests (friends, family, young, old) is that our wedding was “The best wedding we’ve ever been to.” We feel like we parted with Kaleena as friends. She is the best there is and I can’t recommend her more highly! We love Kaleena!
