We hired Dorotheea from Kamea Events for her Full Service Wedding Planning package, and it was hands down the BEST decision that we could've made for our August 2023 wedding. Let m...
e tell you why:
My (then) fiance and I had a two-year engagement. Originally, we decided to get married at a very popular, full-service wedding venue in the Hood River area. However, several months after booking the venue, I had a change of heart and vision for our wedding. We decided that we wanted to have an intimate 100-person wedding in the backyard of an AirBnb in the Willamette Valley. I was so worried about what this shift would mean for the rest of our wedding planning process. When I called Dorotheea to tell her the news she said: "Don't worry, I've got this." Cue huge sigh of relief!
Planning a backyard AirBnb wedding is no easy feat, as we had to essentially create a wedding venue from a completely blank canvas. We had to rent portable restrooms, figure out the power source for the band, and create an outdoor kitchen area for the catering company (just to name a few unique challenges!). Dorotheea handled everything we threw at her with poise, flexibility, and ease.
Throughout the entire process, Dorotheea was communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. She does an amazing job serving her couples by being an excellent listener to extract exactly what is the most important to you about your wedding. You can tell that her goal really is to create a wedding that is uniquely tailored to you and your partner. On top of that, we truly felt like Dorotheea was our biggest advocate and source of support throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, Dorotheea was calm, yet assertive, and I had complete confidence in her ability to lead our wonderful team of vendors. Everything went off without a hitch, and it was truly the best wedding my (now) husband and I had ever been to! Most importantly, it felt like us.
I would highly recommend Dorotheea for any of your wedding planning needs - from elopements to intimate backyard weddings to full-scale weddings at traditional venues. Whether you are located in the Pacific Northwest (Washington & Oregon) or New England (Boston), rest assured that you will be in the very best of hands with Dorotheea from Kamea Events.
Dorotheea and her team at Kamea Events made executing a large wedding on the peak day of the Omicron variant in Portland seem like no big deal. I am forever grateful I made the inv...
estment in a wedding planner, and especially this lovely team. I had hired quite an extroverted photographer and videographer, both of whom I adored, and Dorotheea was the perfect compliment to them- calm, cool, and collected with a artistic design eye that transformed our venue into exactly what I hoped for- a moody, romantic, industrial, urban, Pacific Northwest winter wedding. Dorotheea was so organized in working with our other vendors, incredibly easy to communicate with, and in my moments of stress, reassured me that all would work out fine- and it did! I would never hesitate to encourage other couples looking for a wedding planner to invest their money here. I am SO glad we did, and it helped us experience what was easily the best and most fun day of our lives.
Working with Kamea events has been a dream. Dorotheea went absolutely above and beyond to bring our dream wedding to life, from completely replanning for a new date when we moved i...
t due to COVID to bringing her perfect design aesthetic to every inch of our venue, she is unparalleled in quality. Professional, resourceful, helpful, responsive, organized, etc. etc. etc. she is all of that and more and we truly can't say enough about how wonderful Kamea Events is! She took so much pressure off of us for the big day, which actually allowed us to experience the day instead of sweating the details, because we knew it was covered! 1000% recommend!!
Dorotheea is an incredibly talented event designer. She took our vision and made our elopement so magical and special. She went above and beyond to make our day both relaxing and b...
eautiful. We felt really well taken care of. Highly recommend.
Dorotheea was, hands down, the best investment we could have ever made for our wedding. We had the pleasure of planning 3 different versions of our 2020 wedding with her- from 175 ...
people and a full Hood River weekend to 30 people in an intimate, backyard ceremony while the smoke apocalypse graced us with its presence. Dorotheea was thrown every event curveball possible and was a wonderful sounding board filled with professionalism, creativity, and flexibility throughout the entire saga.
I also could not recommend investing in Dorotheea's design talents more. One of the best things about Dorotheea is her impeccable, timeless taste that can translate to slightly different styles. She listens and elevates through inspiration planning and execution on your actual day. This is in addition to the top vendor recommendations to bring YOUR event to life.
Our friends & family were truly blown away by the beauty and ease of the day. Dorotheea's consistent, balanced approach of being creative and grounded allows for all of the excitement to take place and for you to remain completely present on your day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Dorotheea! One for each wedding version we got to work with you!
I’m still on cloud 9 writing this because Dorotheea at Kamea Events helped us create the most magical and special wedding day. Like many other couples, our original wedding plans f...
ell through due to Covid-19. We ultimately decided to have a micro-wedding/elopement with just our parents and siblings in Willamette Valley. Once we made that decision, I knew I wanted to hire a planner since none of us had been to Oregon before. The moment I spoke with Dorotheea I knew she was the one! She immediately put me at ease and helped me articulate our wedding vision (admittedly I can be a little indecisive ha but she read my mind). Dorotheea was super responsive via email/text/FaceTime. With less than two months, she brought everything together and made our dream wedding a reality. I can’t thank her enough for connecting us to the best vendors and taking all the stress out of wedding/elopement planning. Dorotheea thought of every detail.
And let’s talk cost, because that was a big question mark for me when I learned there was such a thing as an elopement planner. I talked to a few planners and can say without a doubt Dorotheea is also the best bang for your buck! Her service is above and beyond, and her eye for event styling is top notch (included in pricing was her own decor like candlesticks, table runners, etc.). I can’t say enough good things about Dorotheea and Kamea Events. She took all the stress out of our wedding day and left us with only joy and the best memories to last a lifetime. I wish I could do it all over again so I can keep working with her! 5 stars!!
Our wedding venue required at minimum a day-of-coordinator for our wedding day; We hired Dorotheea for the premium wedding planning full-service package. My husband agreed to goin...
g with this service because he knows I am a type A, anxious, worrying perfectionist. I had never even thrown a house party and so was completely overwhelmed with the idea of throwing a large destination wedding event (We are from Portland area and were married in Hood River, OR). Dorotheea was easy to communicate with and kept us on schedule with booking vendors and making other ceremony and reception decisions. She had a share drive wedding planning document that made it easy to track our progress and share information with each other between appointments. We had some difficulty staying on budget, but I don’t know who to blame for that; I had high expectations for certain things and wasn’t really willing to compromise much. I would say that she was most helpful with helping us make decisions about design and layout of the space. This is a step that happened near the end of the planning process and we were overwhelmed with making so many decisions and it was so helpful to just let her do most of the work and then for us to approve or veto.
I would love to say I never stressed throughout the wedding planning process, but I am who I am 😊 What I can say is that our wedding day was flawless. If anything went wrong, I was completely oblivious. It was smooth sailing wedding day bliss and looked just like how I imagined.
Dorotheea is one of the most amazing humans I have ever met. I don’t say that lightly. Everything I have seen her put her hands to has turned out so good! Including my very own wed...
ding. I met with Dorotheea when I was completely overwhelmed and frustrated with trying to figure out how to make my vision for my wedding come to life and make it cost effective for 250 guests. I did not have the time to research prices and shop around with only a six month engagement process, but from the moment I met with her I felt so much stress and weight fall off my shoulders. She took the time to listen to my vision, provide advice, and shop around for the cheapest prices of everything from candles to linens. What I appreciated the most with Dorotheea is that she didn’t tell me my ideas were not going to work or try to convenience me to go another direction, but she truly partnered with my vision and over exceeded my expectations of the perfect elegant/romantic wedding. Another thing I appreciated was this girls communication skills. She communicates quick and never leaves you hanging and always keeps you informed which was so refreshing during the wedding planning process. This girl loves details and that shows in her beautiful work. I would recommend Kamea to everyone and anyone whether you are planning a wedding or a simple birthday party.
Without Dorotheea and her team, there's no way that my wedding day could have happened. We had an unconventional wedding venue and had to find generators, tables, portapotties, pla...
tes, heating trays for food, EVERYTHING and we hardly had to worry about it because she found options for us that were perfect for our tiny budget. She handled every situation with poise and grace, but was also firm to stick up for what we wanted and made it happen with ease. Seriously, shes amazing. There was terrible wind the day of the wedding and they figured out how to get our decorations up and to stay in place! They even got poison ivy and continued to work their butts off. Don't try to tackle planning by yourself. Seriously. Kamea Events is the way to go.
Dorotheea was hands down the most and best help I could have had during the preparation of my wedding. My man and I didn't have a bridal party but it felt like she alone was enough...
to carry the weight of what a party was intended to be! Not kidding. She stepped in at every spot necessary and left no room for disaster to strike. I'm so thankful for her! Literally wouldn't know what to do without her wisdom & 'go-getter' mindset, humor getting us through each process of planning, thoughtfulness to our style and personalities, craftiness & suggestions with decor & bargains, and her calm & professional attitude. You just can't really worry around her, I don't know what it is! lol. We could not have chosen a better coordinator, planner, & life saver than Dorotheea. So much gratitude. Thank you for making our engagement process and wedding day a celebration to remember. Xoxo -N
