I worked with Kelli for my wedding day. She was my day of coordinator but she helped so much before the wedding, too. I could not imagine the day without her. She offered ideas and advice and she made sure the day went smoothly. She was aware of all the details and we could not thank her enough. We highly recommend Kelli!

If youโre planning a wedding, stop what youโre doing and give this absolute force of a woman a call. We hired Kelli as our day of coordinator for our October 2024 wedding. In the last few months leading up to the wedding, we had a few issues with our venue. Kelli became involved and talked us through every obstacle. She did a site visit, multiple phone calls, and went above and beyond to help ensure we had the best day ever. Her professionalism, organizational skills, and people skills are top level. Also, she was funny and nice to talk with while doing our planning calls. On the day of the wedding she was the boss. I told her I didnโt want to make any decisions that day and I didnโt have to! She was in contact with my vendors, set up my decor, and at the end of the night boxed everything up and packed it into cars. Guys, she even helped me change out of my wedding dress and into a more comfortable after party outfit. On the day of the wedding she brought an assistant, Sheila. Sheila was so sweet and friendly and just as involved as Kelli in making our day go smoothly. Kelli made sure me and my husband had time to breathe, food to eat, and drinks to drink while we were waiting for our entrance away from the guests. Her knowledge and experience in the wedding business is unmatched and was so helpful along the way, down to the little details that I never even thought of. Wedding planning is no joke and she has the exact set of skills to help you get through it. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend hiring Kelli for your wedding. Her day of coordinator fee is very reasonable and absolutely worth it. I didnโt know at first if I would need a day of coordinator, and when youโre spending so much money on a wedding it may seem like an extra luxury. Now that Iโve experienced it I can say itโs not a luxury itโs a must! Pick up that overtime to fit it in your budget if you need to! Kelli, you are dynamite. Thanks for making our day so very perfect!

We hired Kelli Teglas as our Day-of Coordinator for our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm in Summit, NY, and she was absolutely incredible! From the moment we connected, she was organized, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented, and truly went above-and-beyond to ensure that everything was managed successfully.
Leading up to the wedding, Kelli was proactive and communicative, ensuring all our vendors were on the same page and that our timeline was perfect. On the actual day, she was an absolute lifesaver! She handled everything with such grace and professionalism, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our special day.
Kelli's attention to detail was impeccable. She made sure every little thing was in place, from the flowers to the table settings, and she was always there to assist with anything we needed. We had fear of rain during the ceremony, and she was able to propose an option and work with the venue so that we could still have our ceremony outside like we had originally planned. Her calm and reassuring presence kept everything running smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

Karla was amazing! She not only helped us through a traumatic experience with our first wedding venue, she made sure to switch contracts to stick with us when we had to get a new venue and wedding date. She was super communicative and helped me with my crazy errands, even as a day of coordinator. She went above and beyond on our big day, making sure every detail was exactly what we wanted and our guests were happy. Thank you so much, Karla!

Kelli was a lifesaver on my wedding day. I initially thought that my hours of planning and thinking through every detail might not require a wedding coordinator. I was very, very wrong! When our wedding day ended up being the one on-and-off rainy day in a two-week span, Kelli kept me calm, visited the property to assess our backup options, and coordinated seamlessly with the other vendors. She ended up making my dream day happen, thanks to her attention to detail, flexibility, and organizational skills. She is a force to be reckoned with! Perhaps most importantly, she is also very thoughtful, kind, and positive, which is exactly what you need when the wedding-day nerves kick in. You might not know it yet, but you definitely need Kelli on your wedding day!

I can not even begin to explain how helpful Kelli was on my wedding day - I quite literally refer to her as 'my savior'. I was a nervous, perfectionist bride, and was so worried about every little detail going wrong. She knew exactly what she was doing at each step of the way and was able to guide me in the right direction when I needed help making decisions. On the wedding day, her ability to keep cool, calm, and collected while simultaneously making every little thing happen seamlessly was an absolute godsend. She was so kind and personable; a total pleasure to work with. I would recommend her a thousand times over! I will forever look back at my wedding day and feel grateful that I had Kelli there by my side supporting me! She truly goes above and beyond. I sincerely feel that every bride who hires Kelli is making the best decision for their wedding day!

Kelli was exceptional from our first phone call through the wedding day! Kelli was always available, helpful, calm and organized! I am a very Type A and detailed-oriented person, and I went into planning my wedding with a clear vision of what I wanted for the day. Kelli not only executed that vision flawlessly but she also gave me many ideas that helped make the day even more special for us. The day of our wedding went so smoothly all because of Kelli. She is a great person to work with and after planning the wedding with her for the past 1.5 years, she has become like a part of our family. Many of our guests said that this was the most spectacular wedding that they have ever attended and this is in large part due to Kelli and her team. We are so grateful for their dedication and hard work in making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

My husband and I initially thought about not having a wedding planner but decided it was too overwhelming. I found Kelli Teglas through word of mouth and found reviews on The Knot. I am so thankful I decided to hire her! From the first FaceTime call we had with Kelli she was so organized and productive from the start. I can't say enough about Kelli and her team. She showed up on our wedding day ready to go. She was extremely helpful with every detail and made adjustments throughout the day as necessary. Kelli and her team were on top of every detail and truly made our day go so smoothly. I'd highly recommend her to other couples looking for a wedding planner. She is truly made for this job!!
Thanks again for making our day absolutely perfect!!

We recently hired Kelli to plan our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, she was organized, professional, and attentive to all of our needs and wishes.
Kelli took the time to get to know my partner and I, and really understood our vision for the big day. She was able to take out ideas and turn them into a beautiful reality.
Throughout the wedding process, Kelli was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. She was also great at keeping us on track with deadlines and ensuing that everything was running smoothly.
On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch. The decor was stunning, the vendors were all on time and professional, and the timeline of events was executed flawlessly.
We cant thank Kelli enough for all of her hard work and dedicated to making our wedding day perfect. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a reliable and talented wedding planner, Thank you, Kelli, for making our dream wedding a reality!

I was very hesitant to hire a weeding coordinator because as a type-A bride I thought I could handle it... but I was totally wrong! I'm so glad I decided to hire the Kelli Teglas Team. I worked with Karla and the entire experience was amazing. She guided me through every little detail, and worked with me when I couldn't make a decision. A couple months before the big day I decided to change my vision of the space and she was with me every step of the way. She was patient with me and really listened to what I wanted and brought my dreams to life. I couldn't have had a better experience with Karla and the Kelli Teglas team.

My husband and I knew planning a wedding at West Point, New York from Jakarta, Indonesia and California would be a challenge, but Kelli made it feel like a breeze. From the very first consult, she tried to understand our vision and personalities, crafting a proposal that perfectly caters for our needs & vision.
Communication across the distance was effortless. Kelli utilised technology flawlessly, scheduling regular video calls to keep us informed and involved every step of the way. She was fast in responding to emails and text messages, always available to answer questions, putting our minds at ease despite the miles.
Kelli's local expertise was invaluable. Kelli had an incredible understanding of West Point's unique regulations and vendor landscape. She negotiated amazing deals with local vendors, and handled all the logistics seamlessly, even navigating tricky situations like coordinating with security on post regarding entrance passes for international guests who attended our ceremony at West Point Chapel.
On the wedding day, Kelli was like a superhero. Kelli anticipated every need and problem-solved on the fly, ensuring the entire day ran smoothly. She managed the timeline and vendors effortlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day.
Thank you so much to Kelli, our West Point wedding wasn't just beautiful, it was stress-free. We wouldn't have been able to pull it off without Kelli and her team. If you're considering a destination wedding around Hudson Valley area, Kelli is your absolute choice!

When it came to the day of the wedding, Kelli was so attentive, gracious and fun to work with. She took care of us and made our day flawless for our daughter and her new husband.
Thank you Kelli! We could not have done it without you!

We had to change things around at the last minute due to the weather and Karla was a huge help all day. She was on top of everything and made sure the day went smoothly. She checked in with me, and made sure I was happy with whatever small changes we needed to make.

Kelli was such a pleasure to work with- like, made our three-day wedding weekend the least stressful and most charming event we could have imagined. She was calm, present, capable, and organized. She always gave me the impression that she was on top of our to-do list and provided sound recommendations and support. Kelli also made me laugh and kept me from losing my mind on several occasions. Thanks for everything, Kelli! XO

How to not stress on your wedding day - hire Kelli! I worked with Kelli in the few months prior to my wedding (after hiring my vendors) to pull the whole production together! She coordinated with all vendors / venue, created an intricate timeline, helped me with packing lists and so much more. I wish I could tell you all of the work she did to ensure the perfect day, but I dont even know because she handled it to perfection. If anything went wrong, I never knew and no one noticed. Not only that, but Kelli took care of all gratuities, packed the entire bridal suite and loaded it into our cars, leaving us to have fun on the dance floor. When the wedding concluded, we (and our families) just hopped in the car and took off! Such a dream. I hope to be able to work with Kelli again in the future.

We booked Karla as our Day-of Coordinator for our wedding in September 2022 with just under a year until our wedding date and truly the experience was nothing but fabulous! Right away, Karla was warm, friendly and a wealth of information as we began the planning process for our special day. Karla is super experienced in the wedding industry and she has a specialty in Hudson Valley which proved super helpful during our planning process. We felt like she was always going the extra mile to check-in with us via text between our planning calls. She came prepared to our calls and helped us find vendors throughout our process. She kept us calm and continually laughing in a stressful planning process. During the weekend of the wedding, Karla was awesome! She worked seamlessly in the background with all of our vendors and venue to ensure our wedding went super smoothly. When she needed to involve us in a decision, she did so quickly and efficiently allowing us to have an amazing day despite the many logistics. We look back on our wedding and think how Karla was one of the key pieces in making it as beautiful and memorable as it was. We highly recommend working with her, she will be trustworthy, personable, knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to ensure your needs are met.

Kelli did an amazing job as our Day of Coordinator! She made sure everything for my husband and I was on track the day of the wedding and gave me the confidence I needed handing off responsibility to her after all my months of planning! I planned all wedding details and Kelli did a great job helping me to organize all vendors and details in the month leading up to the wedding to ensure I was not missing any important details that would impact the wedding day. She is upbeat and jumped to take care of any last minute needs to ensure we had the best day. Highly recommend!!!

I hired Karla as my day of coordinator for my wedding on October 8, 2022. Karla was such a tremendous help for me during the last few months of my wedding planning. I am super Type-A and found it overwhelming to plan everything while working a lot. Karla was able to ensure that I was on track with everything and help answer any questions I had. On the day of the wedding, Karla made sure everything went as smoothly as possible, and I felt comfortable passing the reigns to her when it was no longer possible to hold onto them as the Bride!! Highly recommend!!!!

I recently hired Karla as a day of coordinator for my wedding on 10/28/22 in Peekskill, NY and she did a wonderful job. Not only did she help make my day go seamlessly, she also kept in contact with me for 6 weeks prior to my wedding day for check ins. Karla asked questions and provided ideas that I would not have thought of without her help. On the day of the wedding, Karla set up everything that I needed to and at the end of the night packed away anything that I had therefore I was able to enjoy my wedding from start to finish and didnt need to worry about a thing. I am so grateful for her help and highly recommend anyone to hire her if they are looking for a wedding coordinator.

Hiring Kelli was hands down one of the best desicsions of our wedding day! I am going to admit, our wedding had a LOT of moving parts. We rented a space at a nature preserve and wanted a full Indian Wedding (baraat , styled ceremony with many vendors and rentals and 100+ people). I had sleepless nights on how we would ever be able to execute- Kelli made our dream wedding a complete reality flawlessly! The day of the Wedding, Kelli had every moving part under control- not ONCE was I stressed, worried or even thought about the flow of the day. Kelli and her team executed our vision from start to end, and worked so well with each vendor. Our Family was so impressed with the execution of such a raw vision, and it's all thanks to Kelli! Through the process Kelli became a friend, she is thorough, confident and just an expert in the field. To all my couples (and a special shout out to South Asian couples looking to do their weddings in the HV)- HIRE KELLI! This is your day and for perfect coordination and execution, we couldn't reccomend Kelli enough!

Kelli is spectacular to work with! She guided us all throughout the planning process and helped so much in bringing the vision of our wedding day to life and helped us focus on what felt most important to us. The weeks leading up to the wedding she was so attentive and on top of everything which allowed us to stay calm and not get stressed about anything. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and even with a few tiny hiccups like a missing place-card or a bus mixup, Kelli was on it before we even knew about it! She made sure to take care of absolutely everything so we could soak up every second of our day. If you're looking for a highly organized, attentive, capable, friendly, and fun planner - look no further than Kelli!

Karla is a wedding SUPER HERO. She went above and beyond with us. We took on a huge project of turning our farm home into our wedding venue and Karla was on board with our vision from day 1. She provided her knowledge, experience, CONNECTIONS, and guidance to make our vision come true. She connected us to our caterer and we could not have been happier. She connected us to a great furniture rental place for a lounge vignette in our yard. She also performed magic to help us get a hotel block when everything was booked out. She was nothing but so supportive and on-board with everything we wanted. We loved working with her and feel a special bond to her for the role she played in the creation of our special day. Thank you Karla!!

We LOVED working with Kelli! Our venue had a few changes in their event coordinators leading up to our wedding (added stress that we did not need!) and one of our friends recommended that we reach out to Kelli. Luckily, Kelli had our weekend open and we instantly booked her and it was the best decision! Kelli was attentive, answered all of our questions, and supported us in making decisions. She listened to all of our ideas and ensured that our wedding day was perfect. It was such a relief knowing that Kelli was there and that we did not have to worry about a thing except being fully present and enjoying our day! Kelli worked so well with all of our vendors and kept everything running smoothly. Whatever needed to be handled that day, Kelli handled it! We HIGHLY recommend Kelli to anyone looking for a planner!

Hiring Kelli as our wedding planner was the best choice ever. We didn't want a cookie-cutter wedding - Kelli truly heard us and helped us make our vision come to life. Always happy to voice an opinion, but also willing to go with us when we wanted another direction. Her vendor recommendations were spot on. Her day-of coordination was expert (she was everywhere, making sure everything ran smoothly... I don't even know how she did it.... did she clone herself? lol). If I had to do the whole thing over, my first step would absolutely be to hire Kelli again.

We worked with Kelli and Karla through the Day-of Event Coordination package and were very happy with our decision. We had several calls, increasing in frequency as we got closer to the event, to go over essentials like what to pack for the ceremony/reception and an event timeline. Both of which were very helpful because you don't know what you are missing until you work with an experienced professional. On the day of the event we had Karla running the show and she was fantastic. Karla handled all of the logistics and little tasks we needed help with so we had nothing to stress about on that end. At the reception, if we had a request for one of the vendors Karla was great and making sure it was executed. All-in-all we would definitely recommend working with them again!

We had the Perfect Plan package for our wedding and it really was the perfect choice for us! Karla helped us for months before the wedding by helping to find vendors and even helping to think through decor ideas. As we got closer to the wedding, she was instrumental in putting together the timeline and processional details and ensuring all our vendors were aligned and ready for the day. When the wedding day came, there was not a thing we had to worry about - Karla had it all organized and everything was perfect. She even packed up the decor from the venue afterwards which was such a timesaver. We couldnโt have done it all without her!

Kelli and her team are simply the BEST. There are not enough words to describe our amazing experience with her. We hired Kelli as our month of coordinator leading into our day and she far exceeded our expectations. Kelli & her team went above and beyond to make the day go as smoothly as possible and made sure I had a stress free morning. Being a Type A person it was hard for me to give up some control but Kelli made me feel so confident and she was truly a godsend to manage my stress leading up to our wedding. She is extremely organized and was always available to talk regardless of how small or big our concerns were. She provided so much support to us leading into the day and handled everything on our wedding day so seamlessly. It was such a relief to have her and I honestly did not have to worry about anything on our Wedding Day she handled it all. She is truly the biggest asset and I highly recommend working with her!

Kelli did a wonderful job as our day-of coordinator! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped us put together a timetable/itinerary, and did an onsite visit to help visualize where things would be and how things would flow, as well as bring up any odds and ends we didn't think of. During the wedding day, everything fell into place, and she was able to truly provide the peace of mind we were looking for, so that we were able to just enjoy our day! Would definitely recommend her for booking!

When planning a wedding, our photographer strongly recommended a day of coordinator; we feel so fortunate to have found Kelli and Karla who really went above and beyond to make the day go as smoothly as possible from helping us plot out the day's timeline (and then readjust it when I wasn't feeling 100%), checking guests' COVID vaccine cards/confirming negative test results to packing all of our things and put them into our car so it wasn't something we had to worry about. Considering how much time, energy and money goes into wedding planning, having Kelli and Karla to execute all of those plans took so much of the burden off us so we could actually be present and enjoy our day! To add onto our photographer's recommendation, we would specifically strongly recommend Kelli Teglas Events for any wedding coordination!

Where to begin...Kelli is absolutely amazing. The first call I ever had with her I knew she was my ideal wedding planner- calm, cool, and funny but also very professional. Kelli was on top of it all from start to finish. Super organized and buttoned up, constantly throwing out great ideas, and always making sure we felt good about all moving pieces. Our wedding day would not have been possible without her -a true powerhouse when it comes to logistics -she truly ran the show, making sure every single detail was on point. Having her by my side throughout the day was everything! For any brides looking for their wedding/day of planner, I highly recommend working with Kelli :)

If you are seeking a reliable, superbly organized event coordinator with knowledge and experience, a great working style, excellent taste, and a fantastic network of vendors, then look no further than Kelli Teglas.
When my daughter and her then-fiancรฉ got engaged in October 2020 and announced they would get married 7 months later, my husband and I, though thrilled for them, knew we had a challenge ahead of us. Experts were predicting new waves of COVID, vaccines hadnโt yet been approved, and we hadnโt planned a wedding since our own more than 30 years before.
Speaking to Kelli on the phone for the first time, I felt as though a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. She understood immediately what we wanted and, undaunted, began to put the wheels in motion to have an elegant, socially-distanced outdoor wedding reception for 50 people, then the allowed number in New York State, with tents in case of rain, and hors dโoeuvres and a gourmet sit-down dinner served in a safe manner.
In a very short time, Kelli drew from her vetted network of top-notch vendors to help us book a caterer, florist, photographer, and tent supplier. All turned out to be fantastic. Perhaps her most amazing feat, however, was finding Shadowbrook Manor, a beautiful estate in Tarrytown that was home to the legendary jazz saxophonist Stan Getz. This little-known secret gem of a party venue has an expansive, flat yard that would fit our large tent perfectly. The beautiful circa-1890 manor house and gorgeous landscaping and gardens would be the perfect backdrop for the reception.
In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Kelli kept us on schedule regarding decisions that needed to be made, and on budget. Her warm, down-to-earth, unflappable personality kept us calm throughout the entire process, even when the weather forecast for the approaching wedding day called for rain.
On May 22, 2021, the unseasonably warm day turned into a cool evening without a drop of precipitation. Everything--from the gorgeous nuptial mass to the beautiful pre-plated appetizers and string quartet music at the cocktail hour, to the delicious dinner and spectacular flowers--turned out even better than we could have imagined. Kelli and her team were the stealth backbone of the day, making sure things got done on schedule and according to plan. For the majority of our family and friends, this was the first time theyโd been out socially in over a year, and they couldnโt stop commenting about how beautiful and perfect everything was.
The joyous day was over too fast. And it couldnโt have happened without Kelli.

We hired Kelli for the month of for our daughter's Wedding. I am a planner, a bit of a perfectionist and definitely had big expectations of how I envisioned everything would go. We had designed and hired all the major vendors before bringing Kelli on. That being said Kelli took over all the responsibilities when she arrived on Friday and made the weekend hum like a well oiled machine. She allowed me and the bride to thoroughly enjoy ourselves for the whole weekend.
She created timelines for the bridal party and the guests from the Rehearsal right thru to the end of the wedding. Took care of orchestrating transportation to move 180 people from hotels to ceremony to reception and then home again! She took care of every issue, was professional and no nonsense and delightful to have around. I will certainly hire her again!

Kelli is a real life fairy godmother of weddings! She made our wedding day magical, even after we had to unexpectedly downsize to a family-only celebration the week before. She was so supportive and kind, and executed it all flawlessly the day-of. She is exactly who you want by your side during the planning, coordination and execution of your wedding/event. She will go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of, and from the moment you speak with her you will be dazzled by her effervescing positivity. We adore her, our families adore her, and we know you will too.

The TLDR: Hire this team. Stop looking, just hire her!!
The Details: We threw a 60-person wedding at an Airbnb in upstate New York over Labor Day Weekend 2021. This meant every detail was DIY - tables, dishes, decor, catering, vendors, all the things! I love planning and knew I was happy to do all the research and booking, but I needed someone to execute on the day of - enter Kelli and her team! Kelli spent time with me in the months/weeks leading up to the day to talk through details, offer advice or help, and ensure she was up to speed for the event. Even though I booked a "day-of coordinator", she really provided support if/when I needed it before the actual day-of, so that I was confident that everything would actually go smoothly the day-of. Kelli's experience really made the whole event come together...she offered lots of wisdom and ideas for the flow of the day (for instance, don't rush into dessert right after dinner) and helped me think through a plan when I got stuck. COVID created a ton of challenges across the industry, and when an emergency with another event required Kelli to shift scheduling on her team, she made sure that she seamlessly introduced me to a new coordinator from her team, Karla, and got her up to speed (including a visit to the venue the day before the event). I had a lot of little details, and while everything was perfectly planned in my head, I hadn't done a great job of writing it all down or making mock-ups/pictures etc...but somehow, it was like Karla could read my mind - the event was as near to perfect as any event will ever be. We were ON SCHEDULE thanks to coordination between Karla and our DJ, the tables were beautifully set, the cocktail hour was gorgeous, and the dessert table that she set out was exactly how I dreamed it. The most amazing part about using this team is that they have a network of people ready to help - 5 days before the wedding, our bartender/servers cancelled because of COVID, and Karla reached across her network to find a us a bartender, a server, and two helpers that could move tables/chairs and clean up. It really saved the event. And then Karla was able to coordinate those servers, the pizza truck, the DJ, the live musician, the late-night taco truck, the bonfire and smores, the cleanup, the tipping, even pulling up extra chairs when the Airbnb host and his wife showed up for dinner! THANK YOU Kelli and Karla, I would hire you again in a heartbeat!

Kelli is amazing! Could not recommend her more highly. Kelli helped us plan - and implement our plan - from the outset, helping us work through what we wanted, what to budget, and what venues we should look into. She guided us through every step of the decision-making process and then coordinated with every vendor to make it happen.
While all of the those details set Kelli apart from her peers, none of it compares to her management of the wedding day itself. After weeks of planning an outdoor wedding with a slight chance of light rain (think tent and umbrellas), we come to the realization - minutes before the wedding, no less - that there is going to be a torrential downpour at the exact time of the wedding ceremony, and that - for the first time in the venueโs history - we will need to move the ceremony indoors. Kelliโs management and coordination of the situation was unparalleled: Our team - from groomsmen to catering staff - all pitched in, in pouring rain, to move things (and a few early guests) from the under the tent and into the reception barn, with Kelli driving a uHaul back and forth in a literal monsoon to get everything set up quickly as possible. In a matter of minutes, we had a new wedding site, a new procession, a new timeline - all organized and structured by Kelli, and all while keeping our friends and family - most of whom were on buses - in the loop about what what was going on (everyone was so thankful for that). Kelliโs handling of the situation was so good that none of our guests had any idea that the spectacular indoor wedding was anything other than our original plan. It really was THAT GREAT, (and maybe even better than the original plan!) all thanks to Kelli.
If you are looking for someone who is a fun, caring, detail-oriented professional whoโs exceptional from start to finish, but unparalleled if things donโt go exactly according to plan, Kelli is your person. Sheโs simply phenomenal.

I donโt mean to be dramatic, but Kelli Teglas basically saved my life. We started planning our wedding 3 months before the date because we were nervous about nailing things down because of covid. I literally had nothing except a venue. In spite of the incredibly short time frame, Kelli knew exactly the right vendors to contact and how to pull everything together. It was sort of miraculous to witness. The day of the wedding everything looked so beautiful I could hardly believe it. Kelliโs assistant, Karla, was also incredible to work with on the day of and kept everything running smoothly. Thanks to Kelli we had the perfect intimate, vintage feeling wedding we were looking for. Itโs the best money I have ever spent and there is absolutely no way I could have made this wedding happen without her!

Kelli was amazing. We hired her as a 'day-of' planner but really she was so much more- an experienced industry pro, a last-second COVID problem solver, a finder of missing table seating cards, and most importantly a generous and thoughtful person who picked up what we were putting down.
We are more on the 'low pomp/wedding stuff makes us itchy' spectrum, she excelled at helping us find what fit us and laughed understandingly when we canned what didn't. I have every confidence that she would execute on the most gorgeous, done-up black tie affair too, though. A real pro, at a great price. Hire her!!! -Madeline & Dan

Kelli is the goddamn best! We cannot say enough about how invaluable she was to us throughout the whole wedding process. She made sure we thought about every detail, from event flow to staging to transportation logistics. She did a great job with vendor management - we barely had to deal with any of it! All our guests and wedding party loved her, and to be honest sheโs just an awesome person. By the end of the process we felt like she was our best friend. My wife and I highly and unequivocally recommend Kelli for your wedding. Truly a gem.

Kelly was great, especially on the day-of our wedding. She was so hands on and helpful and made the day stress-free by taking care of all the minor details for us. She also was great in the lead-up to the wedding in terms of quelling my stress about my other vendors, our weather back-up plans, and COVID-related drama and decision making. Thanks, Kelli and Karla!

Kelli was hands down the most amazing day of coordinator for my June 4th wedding. From the initial phone call, I knew I had to work with Kelli for my wedding. She has such a calm demeanor, is extremely personable, thought of every little detail, ways to bring my vision to life, gave great recommendations, and is all around an awesome person and so great at what she does. We had weekly meetings leading up to to our wedding, and just knowing that she was on top of everything made us fully enjoy the day. If you are looking for help with your wedding or event, definitely reach out to Kelli. Thanks again for everything, Kelli!!

We got married this past Saturday at Glen Arbor Golf Club in Bedford, and Kelli made the entire process so much easier. She was so easy to communicate with, so friendly, and we could not have done it without her help. The wedding went perfectly and smoothly. She met with us at the venue several times, was always available for a call, and we highly recommend her. We couldn't have been happier with how everything went.

Iโll start by saying I could not have planned my wedding without Kelli. She did an amazing job. Having a wedding during COVID is not an easy task but she made it a breeze. Even through constant obstacles, she was always able to find a solution. On the big day, she proved that she is the real deal when we were short staff members and she lit 1000 candles and lugged 80 chairs up a mountain in 90 degree heat. I cant thank her enough and will remember the night forever.

Please make a phone call to Kelli the first thing on your to-do list! We were having a backyard wedding, working on a very short timeline, and looking at ever evolving Covid regulations. After just one hour on the phone I knew we would have wonderful day. Kelliโs enthusiasm and vision is second only to her ability to execute the plan! We had such confidence in Kelli that we went off to the church leaving her with a tent full of tables and chairs. We returned to find the tent and our yard completely transformed. Kelli tweaked the timeline as needed throughout the day and kept things moving smoothly. She was ready to jump in at any moment but remained the silent force behind the scenes keeping the party moving as well as the caterers. Kelli stayed on, full of energy and enthusiasm till anniversary cake was safely in the freezer and the kitchen tidied. Thank you, Kelli for making sure that we all enjoyed what was truly a perfect day.

I was the matron of honor for my best friends wedding and Kelli was a LIFE SAVOR! There were several personal touches that I wanted to surprise my friend with at the wedding and Kelli made it happen! She is so friendly, organized, calming and professional! I couldnโt recommend her more!

Kelliโs attention to detail as a wedding planner and event organizer is amazing. She ran the event smoothly and made us feel comfortable at all times. This was especially important since our wedding was held during Covid and had to be properly socially distant. She handled the wedding and virtual services amazingly. I highly recommend her services.

Planning a Covid conscious safe outdoor micro wedding was greatly helped and facilitated
byKelli who was fabulous . As the Mother of the Bride she was very attentive to me as well. Kelli made sure that all arriving guests both had and wore masks and maintained social distances of supporting staff. On the day of the wedding, Kelli thoughtfully brought me a me a bottle of water as I was helping my daughter with pre ceremony preparations. Before the wedding procession began, Kelli cued us perfectly and even served as a crossing guard to make sure we walked across the street to our venue safely. Once there Kelliโs professionalism and warmth made me feel very well taken care of. She exceeded all of my expectations and went well beyond.

My now husband and I got engaged in March 2020, and after months of covid-related uncertainty, in August we decided we wanted to get married at an intimate outdoor ceremony in October 2020. In September we hired Kelli to help us coordinate remaining details and run things the day of. It was the best decision we made about our wedding! From our first conversation, Kelli put me at ease and gave me the confidence that we could, indeed, pull this microwedding off. During our planning conversations, she provided so many suggestions that helped me focus on the final touches we needed. And the day of was fantastic. Kelli and her assistant Shauvan did it all--from setting up our tables to running our Zoom for our out-of-state relatives to cueing our entrances to distributing our boxed dinners to our 14 guests--I simply can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without Kelli! Working with her was the best investment we could have made--and absolutely necessary even with our microwedding. Kelli thought about every critical detail so that my husband and I could enjoy our experience. Kelli is organized, professional, good-natured, and reassuring. I'd recommend her to any couple planning their wedding, regardless of the size of your event.

After postponing our larger wedding (to 2021) about 2 months before our wedding date, my now-husband and I scrambled to find new vendors that could support our small backyard wedding. I reached out to Kelli in hopes she might be able to help us figure out our day. I could not have been happier with our decision. Not only did Kelli help to coordinate with vendors in the final weeks leading up to the event, but also handled set-up & decoration for the entire day with her assistant, Courtney. They even went so far as to help serve the cake & prosecco for a toast! I cannot express how grateful I am to Kelli for everything as she really helped me have the day of my dreams.

If you want a wedding planner that not only knows what they are doing but is just an awesome person, then Kelli is your person! She is there to help at every turn. She helped me plan a gorgeous ceremony through COVID! And when I was ready to throw in the towel, she kept me going and calmed me down. I had an extended ceremony, we included some speeches, a first dance and handed out individual food boxes, which Kelli coordinated all of it. She also set up chairs in family groups and 6ft apart so everyone was safely seated. Day of, she was a rock star. Running all over the place and getting everything set up and ready and keeping us on our timeline. We were having some technical issues with our zoom and she made that happen too (She knew how important it was for me). I can not speak higher of Kelli. Iโm so happy I had her or my wedding would not have been half as beautiful as it was. Thanks so much Kelli!
And her assistant Courtney was also amazing. Any time I needed something, it would appear right in front of me! Like magic!
