Hope, her team and her newer day of Assistant Coordinator "Amy" did a beautiful job with the decorations both at the pre-wedding dinner and the reception. The venue looked very pre...
tty. I especially liked the floral ice balls on the champagne table, the dessert table and the sweetheart table. I would definitely hire them for the "day of decor package or a pre-wedding dinner set up only."
I used Keep It Calm Events for my month/day of coordinator for my wedding that was on 4-1-23. Our coordinator Hope was absolutely great!! She was there to answer any questions I ha...
d along the way and I was even able to book two other vendors after asking who she might recommend (they were awesome as well btw). Hope made me feel very at ease the entire day of the wedding by communicating well with the other vendors, as well as setting up everything exactly as we had discussed. She even sent me pictures while I was getting ready at a near by location to make sure everything was looking how I envisioned. The entire day could not have gone smoother and it truly took such a load of stress off my shoulders. My husband even admitted to me that prior to wedding the day he thought having a coordinator was a "waste of money", but was eating those words after and said it was totally worth it!! Long story short, you should definitely book with Keep it Calm Events!!
Hope was an incredible day of coordinator! I felt I could really trust her, she was really professional, she knows what she's doing, and offers great advice. We met once in person ...
at the venue a month before the wedding, and she was in close contact with me the two weeks leading up to the wedding. She did amazing and her team is awesome!
Five stars! Ten out of ten recommended!! I wish Hope and The Keep it Calm team could plan every even for the rest of my life!!! I cannot recommend them enough! Because of Hope and ...
the Keep It Calm team we had a wedding more beautiful and perfect than we could have ever imagined. When my man proposed I felt overwhelmed with how much goes into a wedding but all my fears went away after I met with Hope. We hired Keep it Calm Events for full service wedding planning and they went above and beyond anything we expected!! We signed a contract with Hope about 12 months before our date, and she immediately got to work! She helped with budgets and timelines, sourced all of our vendors, did all the tablescaping, made our design/decor vision a reality, and coordinated everything top to bottom (she even cleaned a champagne spill from the groom before any of the guests noticed). She seriously did so much for us it's impossible to list it all!! She was in control of everything and it all worked like magic. On top of the regular stress and chaos that can come with all the planning, a hurricane hit 5 days before our garden-wedding (only about 50 miles south of our venue) everyone was terrified…Hope kept it perfectly calm through everything. We ended up having the most beautiful perfect dream wedding and it felt so magical. We truly could not have gotten through our day without Hope, she is a star and I am so incredibly grateful for her! I wish she could plan every event for the rest of my life!
To best reflect my experience without coming across as emotional, I just want to speak in facts and allow any other couple to make a decision based on the knowledge, but I didn't w...
ant to let my wedding pass without saying anything.
- The team supplied all decorations needed for the 19 guest tables at the wedding which saved us a lot of money, and they looked beautiful
- Our planner tried to save us money by bringing an extra team member to not need additional venue team members, it didn't work out but it was a great thought that would have saved a lot
- Our planning team said they would come to our virtual Zoom venue meetings, they gave an excuse for one, but never showed up to another with no reason
- Our team showed up 45 minutes late to our rehearsal, it was already over, with no clue who the bride was or what the processional was supposed to look like, and tried to take control over from who was running the process. It detracted from the moment for the couple and made the process more complicated
- The planning team told the couple not to worry about the permit for the first look spot. The couple made it clear this was important to them, they had touched base about it a couple times, a few weeks later when they asked about it, someone else had gotten the permit. There was never an apology. Just other spots recommended. When the bride asked what happened, there was never a straight answer.
- On the day of the wedding, the bride was told by two other vendors that the planner had never answered a single email, hindering their ability to do their job for the couple.
There are other small things, but I think a point has been made. Accidents happen, I'm not making any grand claim here - but please consider all options before signing any dotted line.
Take a breath with planning and enjoy the process - it's over before you know it :)
Hope was so awesome. We got married in about 3 months after getting engaged and the only thing my husband was sure about was that he wanted to have a day-of-coordinator. But Hope w...
as so much more than that! She was recommended to me by one of my bridesmaids who had used her for her wedding a couple years ago. That was the best money I spent at the whole wedding! Hope helped me with everything from details on the day of, to decorating, even bringing a bunch of her own stuff because I was too overwhelmed to think about cute decorations at every spot at the venue, helping guests, coordinating my other vendors. She decorated my cake, and pinned my dads locket on my bouquet, and had water for us during pictures. Last minute things you just don’t even want to have to worry about in your wedding day. Truly she was great. And Skye helped with our ceremony which was seamless. Best decision we made was to hire her! Don’t think any further- just do it!
Hope is fabulous!! We went from engaged to married in 81 days. She had 60 days to help me pull off a destination wedding. We are in Alabama and had guests from Alabama and Georgia ...
coming to Florida. She helped keep everything together and decorate the ceremony and reception areas for a beautiful beach wedding. 100% would recommend her 🧡
Hope was worth every penny. I was initially on the fence about having a wedding coordinator but after reading other's experiences, I decided to budget for it. Keep It Calm Events...
was more than affordable and worth every dollar. I've been in other weddings where the coordinator wasn't in control or communicative enough and the ceremony suffers because of it. Hope had everyone in my large wedding party (16 of us in total) listening while still making the experience enjoyable. I have to believe there are plenty of things that she took care of the day of that were never even brought to my attention! She set everything up beautifully and packed everything up and made sure it got back to me. The ceremony and reception stayed on schedule which is exactly what I needed from her.
If you are a bride looking for someone that will calmly make things happen... things you didn't know you even needed ... go with Hope. She was an exceptional planner. She kept note...
s and exactly executed every detail we concocted, no matter how wild. She skillfully handled all of the family members and a bridal party of 23 + bride and groom. (I don't know who is more insane... her or us?!) She took care of all the assembly and packed everything up and brought it back to our house in perfect condition. She went above and beyond and brought us an arch for the ceremony, made us a special wooden sign for guests to sign that was beautiful and we have hanging in our house, and she made a gorgeous seating arrangement display. I have a busy job and she understood that I couldn't do all the things in preparation for the wedding that one usually does... so she simply took care of it. My husband initially didn't want a wedding planner and thought it was silly and an extra expense. The day after the wedding when we got home and everything was perfectly organized he looked at me and said, "Man, I was wrong. I am so glad you hired Hope. We really needed her." She is intelligent, hard working, and affordably priced. I have been to many weddings and in many bridal parties and the planner is often the glue of the day. They are the ones to problem solve during "emergencies" and they set the tone. Hope handled everything for us and really helped make a wonderful day we will never forget. We love you, Hope! xoxo alicia and josh
Hope thought of things I never would have. She took all the stress off of me and helped my day run perfectly. Thank you for making my day wonderful
