About this vendor
Kay Mae Design is a sustainable event planning company owned by award-winning designer Kayce Mae Penn. Built for the socially conscious couple seeking wedding planning or the B Corp companies seeking eco-friendly event planning.
Our focus at Kay Mae Design is first and foremost on the experience. Celebrations and gatherings are a critical part of our lives, and we believe that creating these events should evoke feelings of comfort, joy, exhilaration, and relaxation. Our technique is to approach events with people in mind first, not color palettes.
Our mission is to provide solutions to the environmental crisis while building stronger communities.
I envision a company that gives back to the communities in which it serves. A business owner is the single most influential societal cog in our modern-day economies. I take that position seriously and look to utilize business as a tool to positively impact the vulnerable. My passion is for young women looking to rise above the circumstances dealt to them in order to provide for themselves, their families, and their communities. Next, I look to find creative and alternative sustainable solutions to resolve the often wasteful and harmful habits of the event production industry.
We hire locally to support small economies, implement the best sustainable practices possible for each event, and donate to a charity of the client's choice to improve our societies as much as possible.
When you plan with Kay Mae Design, you're planning with purpose.

Her sustainable practices, her charity donations, her chill attitude yet highly creative and organized personality.. need I say more? She was everything I needed in a wedding planner. I am so grateful she could guide me through the process. Most of us have never hosted an event of this size before and with this being the day you celebrate your life long love, it better be good! Her design skills and background with software proved to be really important throughout our process. Our day was custom and she knew my vision before I did. So glad we went with her.
We married on our parent's property in Northern Vermont, with over 300 people attending. I am easily overwhelmed by details and coordination, so a wedding planner was a must for us. We hired Kayce Mae to execute everything from beginning to end, and we couldn't have made a better choice. I was able to enjoy every moment of being engaged to my husband, all of the creative fun and ideas, and she handled the execution in a way I never could. NOTHING phases this woman! She both scared me and made me laugh, she has a saying "If you don't expect at least one thing to go wrong you're not planning right." WHAT? Go wrong?
Fear not, this woman has a plan B and C for all things. So when our ordained minister fell sick that weekend, she was on it with a nearby JOP ready to help. When my ideas proved to be too expensive, her creative energy took up the reigns and she gave stunning affordable options. Her sustainable practices cut back on our trash bill and impact. I personally have never thought of the many ways an event can affect the environment, and it was nice to know she was thinking about more than running a business, she was thinking about the world. We loved that she chooses to donate to a charity of your choice if you hire her, we chose the ASPCA.
Overall, Kayce was the best friend you needed at the time you felt you needed her the most. We got to have all the fun and enjoy the serenity thanks to her hard work. Would definitely recommend!
We wanted to marry in a private mountain setting with only three months to prepare. Kayce Mae was the calm, cool, collected designer and organizer I needed to move through this time in my life. She handled every last minute change of mine like a pro, and she always knew exactly what I was saying. She put together the big picture I was dreaming of, she could see it even when I couldn't. We loved that she donated to a charity of our choice in the end, and used as many sustainable practices as we could. It made us feel like our special day had an even bigger purpose beyond our connection as husband and wife. She is a dream, you'll love her!
