We’ve retained Kelly for our daughter’s wedding in Trump National Doral in December. My wife and daughter dubbed it as the “best decision made for the wedding”. Communication was very fast and on-point. From dealing with different vendors, to organizing a rehearsal dinner, to making a last-minute decision about ceremony location, Kelly was very professional, organized, knowledgeable and in-control. Because of her efforts, our wedding was a total success. I highly recommend hiring Kelly for your next event.

Kelly knocked it out of the park on wedding day. She was on top of every detail and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We are so thankful to have had Kelly and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Kelly and her assistant did an amazing job to make sure our wedding day went smoothly! They went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and they were so much fun to be around! Thank you for easing my mind through this process, and enhancing our fabulous day! If you’re looking for a planner, look no further. Kelly is amazing and we can’t thank you enough!

Kelly was so intricate in the planning leading up to the special day. On my wedding day, Kelly kept me calm, organized, and took everything off my plate. She was incredible with time management and executed my wedding perfectly. All the vendors raves about how they have not seen a planner be so involved and take over everything from making sure my makeup and hair is on time, to assisting during photos, to helping me get dressed.
She is unbelievable! Her details are impeccable.

I was hesitant to get a wedding planner at all. I honestly saw it as an unnecessary expense and that I could do anything a planner could for free. Now having gone through this whole experience with Kelly, I could never have produced the results she helped initiate and coordinate. Every time I was overwhelmed, with a just a quick phone call she was able to help me get mentally right and organized and help with any dilema i threw at her. Not only was I blown away by her, but both my husband and I's families and friends were as well.
Its clear that Kelly is made for this kind of work. While others would falter under the kind of pressure weddings can bring, I watched it make her flourish and execute in a professional and charming way.
She exceeded my expectations and made our day better than I could have dreamed. I would highly recommend her to anyone and know they would be 100% satisfied and overjoyed with the results.

Kelly was the absolute best wedding planner we could've ever asked for! We lived out of state and she made the entire process (over 15 months of planning) so seamless, easy, stress free, and fun. From our first phone call, we knew we were going to be in great hands. She listened to all of our requests and guided us to make our dream wedding come true. She didn't shy away from working with new vendors or implementing new details; she made us feel so comfortable and confident in our decisions. We could always count on her for an honest and level-headed opinion on design choices and vendor pricing. This helped us so much since we weren't familiar with the Miami area. Our monthly calls kept us on track so we were never too stressed. She was very responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive about every aspect of our wedding details. On the day of the wedding, Kelly knew every single detail like the back of her hand (and we had a lot of moving parts the whole day!). We didn't have to worry about a single thing and it truly was one of the best days ever. All of our guests were so impressed with everything and how seamless it was which is a testament to all of her hard work. Kelly and her assistant, Christina, exceeded all of our expectations and if we had to do it all over again we would 1000% choose them again!

Kelly was THE best decision we made as our “month of” wedding coordinator. She made it so easy from day 1 to communicate, offering her honest and transparent opinion on whatever my husband and I needed. We had told Kelly that we were ambitious enough to provide all of the decor for our wedding to our venue- and she supported our full vision and made recommendations of do’s and dont’s. She listened to, analyzed, and provided feedback so meticulously, all while keeping her calm and keeping this process fun for us. We put our 100% trust in her to bring our vision to life, and she beyond exceeded our expectations. I did not have a single worry that the setup and flow of the day would be anything less than perfect with Kelly leading it. Thank you to Kelly and her assistant, Christina, for making our wedding the best memory and day of our lives!

Kelly was simply the best wedding planner in Miami! Her positive demeanor and task orientated manner, made her an excellent executor in our fast-paced, stressful environment. She handled last minute fires and requests with ease. I work in logistics and I'm fast to jump in and start problem-solving but Kelly was ON IT at every moment that I was truly able to enjoy my wedding day.

Everyone should book Kelly as their wedding planner! We worked with Kelly to plan our wedding in South Florida over the course of a year and a half and I can confidently say that we would not have been able to pull it off without her. She was so helpful throughout the process as my husband and I did not have any idea what we were doing and she provided extremely helpful guidance while also carefully listening to our opinions and making sure that our vision was carefully executed. Our venue and a few vendors proved pretty challenging to deal with and Kelly always put us at ease whenever anything seemed to not be according to plan during the planning process. The wedding day itself went so well that we actually received compliments from guests on how smooth everything was. Ultimately, Kelly's know-how also saved us a ton of money during the planning process by not making mistakes during vendor contracting or ordering. A wedding planner is definitely a must for anyone who is trying to plan a wedding on a busy schedule and Kelly is the best of the best!

Kelly was incredible! We used her for the month of and day of coordination but she was so much more! We booked her months in advance and she was available to answer questions and give advice over text while I was picking all of my vendors. It was so incredibly helpful to have a little guidance from her. Our wedding day weather was not ideal but Kelly was all over making sure everything ran smoothly. She calmed my worries, had answers to all my question and was just an absolute joy to work with. I highly recommend Kelly (& Christina) for your wedding planning needs!!

Kelly did an excellent job as our wedding planner. Since I was out of state I wanted security having a planner who knew the ins and outs and could advocate for us when needed. Kelly did just this! She was patient, flexible, organized, and punctual. The day of the wedding went so smooth because of her and I appreciate her speaking up for me if/whenever I had a problem during the planning process. Very grateful for Kelly and all that she did for us this year!

Kelly is simply amazing at her job. I couldn’t imagine the night without her (and my husband). She was so organized, kind, and patient throughout the planning process and the wedding. She was flexible when needed but also was able to keep us on schedule so we could do everything we set out to do. I am so thankful for her and my bridesmaids were already asking for her info for their future weddings! Kelly, from Matthew and I both, thank you. You were such an incredible addition to the team and a pleasure to be around! Besos!

I used Kelly Altier for my wedding on 12/2/2023 and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! We worked together to plan my wedding for a little over two years. Being a destination bride, I put my full trust in Kelly and she did not disappoint at all. Kelly assisted me in booking every vendor, making ever decision, and made my wedding day flow perfectly. It is the complete truth when I say that not one single thing went wrong on my wedding weekend. Thank you Kelly for making everything so perfect!
Highly recommend Kelly for any Florida (and beyond!) brides!!!!!

Kelly is an amazing person!! My daughter recently got married at the W Fort Lauderdale. A friend of hers had recently used Kelly for her wedding so she hired her two years out to help her plan her wedding. We live in NY so I cannot tell you what a relief it was to have her. She handled every detail of the wedding and more. I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. I’ve never worked with a wedding planner and I’m so used to doing everything myself so I was a little skeptical every time I asked my daughter about something and she would reply ‘Kelly’s handling it,’ and she handled EVERY LITTLE DETAIL!! On the day of the wedding, which could be chaotic, everything flowed so smoothly. She gave everyone a schedule of events the night before and it was the most stress free day ever. From making sure everyone was eating (yes, she did!) hair, make-up, pictures, setting up at the venue and making sure everyone and everything was perfect. she even made sure everything was brought back to our room after the wedding. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding long distance or otherwise. It eliminates all the stresses of planning a wedding. I’d give 100 stars if I could!!! Thank you Kelly for making T&D’s big day a total success from start to finish!!!

Kelly was the day of coordinator for a family wedding where I had help them plan up to the big day. We had an interfaith wedding with so many different ceremonies and days. Kelly handled the main wedding and reception like a champ. She took control with ease and handled every single vendor and detail to the point where when I asked about a vendor she said I’ve been in contact with them and they are good. She handled the wedding with so much detail exactly how my ocd self would’ve wanted! We also DIY-Ed a ton of decorations and without Kelly’s help it wouldn’t have been possible. I enjoyed the entire evening because of her!
My only regret is not having her for all the additional ceremony days prior to the wedding.
I loved her so much that I want her planning my upcoming wedding!

I was introduced to Kelly from not 1, not 2, but 3 family friends who workedy with her in the past few years. Kelly is top “knot”ched in her field. She is extremely personable and hardworking. She is a true friend during the planning process and keeps it real. She’s the person you want by your side during the wedding planning journey. Her style is accessible, timely, and very organized. She will go above and beyond for you on your wedding day! Kelly is an experienced and expert wedding planner & friend who helped us prepare and pull off a seamless 300 person wedding. Thank you for everything Kelly!!!!

I first contacted Kelly about my elopement she was hesitant because she didn’t think I would need her since was a very small ceremony and she was very up front. I ended up convincing her to take us. She is amazing, everything you can ever imagine and expect from a wedding planner and day coordinator you find on Kelly. I am so truly thankful that she was part of my wedding planing and execution. My vision came to life. Kelly worth every penny that she charges and much much more. She even took so many amazing pictures and videos that we could share right the way. She have an amazing team and good connections. I 100% recomend Kelly. My elopement was a dream come true and a lot of it I own to Kelly. She had the right connexions, the amazing inputs and recommendations. I am so impressed beyond words. Can’t wait to have my vows today renew big party and have her to plan and coordinate!

Kelly is an amazing wedding planner! As a photographer I've had the opportunity to work with her twice and both experiences have been fantastic! She listened to what was important to the client and made sure their vision became a reality!
On the day of the wedding, she's hands-on making sure everything is perfect so her clients can have a flawless experience!
She's organized, professional, and truly a joy to work with! You will be in the best hands if you choose her as your wedding planner.

Kelly is just by far the best money we spent on our wedding. Attentive, thoughtful, hugely helpful in the planning and kept us sane and on track on wedding day. We only wish we'd met her earlier in the process!
Kelly was introduced to us by the caterers who thought she was the best planner they'd worked with (and the caterer does more than a dozen weddings every month, Bill Hansen, they're great too). Kelly helped us to identify a number of great vendors and negotiate good deals with them, organized all of our physical items which was so important as we live out of town, ensured all the vendors were coordinated on the wedding day, and did a million other things behind the scenes I'm sure that never even got to us to make it an amazing day.
We're pretty sure we're done with weddings, but if we swing back for a vow renewal in 20 years we hope Kelly is still in the business.

We had a great experience working with Kelly and Christina, who truly helped us execute our vision for our wedding as our month of coordinator. We had more than enough stress on our day and Kelly was able to maneuver and still help keep everything organized. The day itself went without a hitch because of Kelly’s organization, timeliness, professionalism, and her dedication to her work. She is worth every single penny. We truly are grateful for her!

After reaching out to multiple wedding planners in South Florida who would either take weeks to respond or not respond at all, I was feeling very discouraged... Then I found Kelly.
Finding Kelly was such a blessing! She is an absolute angel. She eased my anxiety right away. She is organized, professional and such a sweetheart.
She provides exactly what she advertises... Throughout the year of planning, she was always available to talk, bounce ideas off of and made sure I was staying on track. She gave me great vendor recommendations that were not only professional and experienced, but also in our budget. From the beginning she listened to our concerns and made sure that the things that were important to us were handled with extra detail.
On actual wedding day, Kelly was wonderful. I never realized how much of a production it is to have a wedding. From set up to break down, Kelly made sure everything ran smoothly. Every problem/ fear/ anxiety that I had through planning and on wedding day, she always found a solution. She never seemed stressed and seems to really love what she does. Thank you Kelly!! I am so grateful to have had you with me, I could not have picked a more perfect wedding planner for me.

Kelly was amazing! When we hired her we figured she would be helpful for the day of- little did we know she would be our main resource for any and all things wedding-related. She seamlessly planned a change from our reception being outside to being in a different location the day of the wedding, leaving us stress free. She even made sure we had our wedding cake and everything from the wedding that was ours back in our room at the end of the night so we truly had nothing to worry about. She is the best investment you can make for your wedding!

Kelly and her team are incredible!
Our previous coordinator had to drop out of our wedding a few weeks prior to our wedding due to personal reasons. We found Kelly and the level of service was above and beyond what we had experienced with our previous coordinator. She jumped right in and got things done.
She is extremely organized, insightful, and responsive. All of our vendors praised her and indicated that she is one of the best coordinators they have worked with. Several of our guests said this was the most organized wedding they have attended.
We made several last minute changes and had to deal with weather disrupting our event. Kelly adapted every step of the way with a positive attitude and put both of us at ease.
We love you Kelly. Thank you for everything!

Kelly is worth every penny!! I was on the fence about needing a planner but believe me when I say DO IT. She takes the stress of the planning away and allows you to enjoy the process! On the day of the wedding, she makes sure everything runs smoothly and I promise you, if anything isn’t going as planned, she will do her best to fix it to make sure your day is perfect! We never would have been able to have the wedding we dreamed of without her!! I can’t say enough good things about Kelly and her team!!

We're sure there were hiccups and missteps, but honestly we had no idea and everything was executed exactly the way we expected (with a few extra surprises!). The planning process leading up was smooth, and she went way above and beyond to get things printed, organized and ready to go since we were coming from out of state. There is no one better!! Thanks for everything Kelly and thank you for the amazing shoes <3

I cannot recommend Kelly enough!!!! Her and her assistant Christina made my day completely stress free and dealt with so many curve balls due to a very difficult onsite planner at our venue! It was also a destination wedding for us which is an added layer of complexity!
Kelly is kind, professional, meticulous, organized and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. I really don't know what we would have done without Kelly and team on our special day - don't hesitate booking her services, you will surely look back and agree that it was the best decision you made!

She is simply the best and we are eternally grateful for her.

Kelly was absolutely amazing! My destination wedding would not have been as beautiful, successful and stress free as it was without her by my side. She took care of everything plus some! I can’t thank Kelly and her assistant enough for dealing with my crazy family and making sure everything was perfect on my wedding day.
Kelly is extremely organized and professional. You will never have to worry about dealing with vendors or making hard decisions alone. She is always available when you have a question and responds within minutes! I can’t say enough good things about Kelly and her team. Best decision I made when planning my destination wedding was hiring Kelly.

When hiring Kelly it was a couple days before my wedding. As insane as that was to think of hiring a wedding planner last minute, I went with it. Considering I planned my wedding within three weeks of time. Kelly was AMAZING! To say the least. I recommend her to all of my friends. Me and my husband, friends and parents still talk about how great Kelly was. Honestly if I did not have her I think my wedding would’ve been a disaster. I love her and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else but her to hire! She was a literal blessing in disguise for our wedding days! As soon as she got there she jumped into action without any hesitation. I can never have enough great things to say about Kelly. She was like my friend/support. I’m going to make sure all my friends hire her for their wedding.

If you are considering using Kelly, let me assure you it is the best decision you can make for your wedding day. We were an out of state couple doing a destination wedding. I hired Kelly for full planning back in 2019, and she helped us look into and figure out venues, vendors, and literally had advice for everything. We were originally supposed to get married in April 2020, and due to covid we pushed it to October 2020, and then finally April, 2021. Even with all the changes and hiccups that covid brought, like a florist who suddenly went out of business 3 months before our new actual wedding, or the venue completely throwing us a curveball because the city wouldn't issue a gathering permit for the Beach like I had been planning the whole time, and lastly a HORRIBLE experience with the venue coordinator, Kelly was there to make sure we got it all figured out. I may have been so nervous I threw up on my wedding day, but let me assure you it wasn't out of planning stress. Kelly was there to make sure everything went smoothly, and it did. My now husband, who was very removed from the planning process (he literally hates planning anything) even said how awesome Kelly was and how he loved how well she coordinated everything on our wedding day. Kelly is awesome, great at communicating, and knows what's she's doing, so I can't recommend her enough. She also has some killer dance moves (we saw you getting down over by the DJ with Becky 😜)! Stop considering her and just call her already!

Kelly is amazing and the absolute best! We hired her as our month/day of coordinator for our wedding in Jupiter and I don’t know how the day would have went on without her. Prior to the wedding, she met us for a walkthrough of the spaces, led the entire rehearsal and was there to answer any and all of our questions without hesitation and with such calmness in the planning craziness. On the day of, Kelly and her assistant kept both me, my husband and family relaxed and on time with everything. Luckily we only had minor issues arise but they were always right there with a fix. We still have both of our families raving how awesome and helpful she was.

There are not enough words available to rave about how pleased we were. Kelly is more than AMAZING and did an awesome job of taking the stress away! Instead of us having to worry about the tiny details of planning our wedding, she allowed us to actually enjoy ourselves and enjoy the moment while keeping everything on track before, during, and after the wedding. We took a big risk hiring a wedding planner located in Miami for a wedding in Houston, but based on the conversation we had with Kelly, I felt more than comfortable moving forward with her to be our hero for the day....and SHE DID NOT disappoint! I am not sure if she will make traveling around the country to do weddings a routine habit going forward, but if she was able to pull our Texas wedding off flawlessly from Miami, then I have no doubt that she can make your dreams come true anywhere you plan your wedding. I cannot recommend her enough as she will do an amazing job for you and will keep in contact with you throughout the whole process and never leave you feeling unprepared for any step of the planning process. Kelly has now become family and we look forward to visiting her as often as we can!

Where can I even begin... I started my wedding planning process on my own thinking that my type A personality would guide me through what I now know as a very giant machine with several moving parts that, although hectic, is exciting and worth all of the work. I managed to pick our venue, dress, and DJ on my own but then COVID hit. I wasn’t even sure I was going to have a wedding and the next step was picking a florist in one of the most florist saturated cities in the US (Miami). Florals quickly overwhelmed me and add Covid into the mix and I was quickly screaming for help. This is when I stumbled upon Kelly and man was I thankful! Kelly was so accommodating and considerate of the fact that I had powered-through some of the major vendors, resulting in her shaping a special plan for my needs. She was available whenever I needed her and always offered to assist with meetings. Months passed and my wedding was right on track despiste the uncertainty of Covid. She was always my number 1 cheerleader and kept my negative Nancy-self at bay.
When it came down to wedding week & the big wedding day, Kelly and her team were literal superheroes! We are all still in shock as to how she made it from Brickell to Kendall in the rain, traffic and facilitated a wardrobe change despite leaving after our limo (we think she has secret tunnels under Miami). When I say I didn’t feel an ounce of stress thanks to Kelly & Becky, I mean it with the most honesty. And it means a lot when I say that even the groomsmen were in awe of her superpowers (Boys never notice these things lol).
Kelly & Becky, thank you from the bottom of my heart for absolutely everything you did from the beginning to the very end. I’m sad that our journey of hard work is done but I hope to see you soon again. Maybe you can pick up some baby shower planning lol. You’re on the fast track to fame with all of your talent! With all of our love, The Artileses

Kelly is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Following our wedding day, my husband and I both agreed that Kelly was the absolute best, most essential part of our big day. She is an amazing person, extremely responsive, organized and puts your mind at ease. We planned our destination wedding through the pandemic, which included postponing our big day and Kelly was there every step of the way. Kelly recommended wonderful vendors and provided us with a day of timeline which was extremely helpful for us, our families, and our wedding vendors. She communicated our timeline with all of our vendors so everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. The day of our wedding, she arrived with her assistant Becky (who is equally amazing) and an emergency kit that has EVERYTHING you could ever think of needing on your big day. To list a few, Kelly fixed my maid of honors dress zipper, removed a stain from the front of my wedding dress, attached the groom/groomsmen boutonnieres, carried my train and fixed my hair for photos, organized our bridal party/family photos, made me a garter for the garter toss (I forgot to put mine on), ensured that everything was on schedule/flowed perfectly all day/night, and most importantly she completely made our originally outdoor ceremony work while it was pouring rain. I will NEVER be able to thank Kelly enough for everything she did to make our wedding perfect! :)

If you are getting married in South Florida, there is NO DOUBT ABOUT IT YOU WILL NEED AND NEVER REGRET HAVING KELLY DOSS AT YOUR SIDE. Kelly is professional, easy to talk to, a great listener, a great executor, calm, cool, collected, kind, ... I mean I could go ON AND ON. Without her, there is NO WAY I would have made my own ceremony, would have never been able to bustle a 53 buttoned (YES I SAID IT) wedding gown, would have never cut my wedding cake, never changed into my after party dress, never had my wedding gown hung flawlessly up at the end of the night, never gotten my second hair look, would have never made it to my own cocktail hour... the list goes on and on. She sets up every detail for you. I am a VERY organized person and thought I could do it all myself, but I originally hired Kelly to take care of any issue that arose on my wedding day. Unfortunately the week of my wedding I was suffering in pain from a past injury. Devastated I could not physically take care of last minute items. KELLY HANDLED IT ALL. I didnt even need to give her specific direction, SHE NAILED IT. For the rest of my life I will forever be thankful for Kelly and Becky for organizing our wedding day timeline and being my right hand this day. There are NO words to describe the appreciation. Please, invest in Kelly and her services, you will be thanking yourself that you did. Also, Kelly (whether she likes it or not) has become a friend... which is so special as well

Kelly is the best of the best. She is willing to go above and beyond for her clients and always keeps a calm, cool, and collected demeanor. With Kelly, no ask was too big, she figured out a way to get everything done. When the weather didn't work out on our wedding day, she executed changing everything last minute. I can't say enough kind words about working with Kelly. I highly recommend her to anyone in the South Florida area that's planning a wedding, she will make all your dreams a reality!

I can’t begin to explain how big of a help kelly was for me in the planning process and day of. She became not only my wedding planner but my friend also! We had endless laughs on the phone the month of and she made the process so much easier to deal with especially since we are from New York and we’re having a Florida destination wedding. She kept me so organized and helped me so much!!!! The day of everything went off without a hitch! She was right by our sides the entire night and we have so many wonderful photos of the night from her!! It was such a pleasure to work with her and I recommend her to all brides looking for a wedding planner!!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!

I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Kelly. I hired Kelly for the Day-Of-Coordinator Package where she starts working with you 6 weeks (for me this was sufficient as what I really wanted was help with the final details and someone to be there Day-Of for everything to go PERFECT. My wedding was absolutely everything I could have imagined and this was due in large to having Kelly and her assistant by my side. Prior to the wedding Kelly was amazing and helped me with anything I needed including finding an officiant to conduct our wedding that was outstanding. Kelly arrived early the day of the wedding and had everything set-up exactly how I wanted as well as improvised when needed to a point where I never knew little things had gone differently. Her attention to detail is so outstanding that she even followed up after with my florist to ensure I had received a refund that they owed to me. I was extremely happy with Kelly’s work but most of all I loved that I felt so comfortable with her and throughout the entire process I truly felt like her priority was to keep us happy and calm. Thank you Kelly for truly going above and beyond to make our wedding day so special. We will be forever grateful. Love, Diana and Garrett

Kelly was amazing!! She made our wedding run flawlessly from start to finish. On top of it all, when the only road to our venue was shutdown for hours after a car accident, she walked with us all of the 3 miles back to our hotel. I couldn’t recommend Kelly more - she was a joy to work with!

Kelly was above and beyond what we could have expected for a wedding planner. She is very knowledgeable, and questions we had she was able to not only answer but provide direction on what we should do or go. If she didn't have an answer right there she would find one and get back to us as soon as possible. She is also very organized and helped keep us on track and making sure we complete things a little at a time so we weren't overloaded towards the end with things to do. She was also a big help coordinating with the vendors not only before the wedding but the day of to make sure everything went well. I couldn't recommend a better person and deserves more than 5 stars.

I can truly say that hiring Kelly to plan my wedding was the best decision I made during the entire process! She was absolutely amazing to work with. From beginning to end she was organized, attentive, and always reassuring when I needed it. I could always rely on Kelly to answer all of my questions with guidance and patience, she honestly took all the stress way so I could actually focus on my big day! I would highly recommend Kelly Doss Events over and over again! Thank you so much Kelly for making my day the best day ever. I couldn't have done it without you!

I wish I could give her a million star rating. This was a destination wedding for me and my husband and Kelly made this process so much easier for us. She is very knowledgable and was able to help answer any and all questions we had. Any issues that popped up Kelly jumped in right away. She helped guide us to the right vendors we needed for the wedding. She makes monthly check lists that really helped keep us on track and kept us from missing anything. On our wedding day she organized and set up everything so me and my husband could just relax. She also managed to take great pictures and videos while doing everything else! And she gave us the sweetest present at the end of the night. Our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was if it wasn't for Kelly. She made my crazy Disney wedding vision come to life. Kelly is now not just our wedding planner, but our friend. We highly recommend Kelly, as my now husband as said multiple times, she is worth her weight in gold!

I truly don’t know where to begin! My husband and I just had our wedding in Miami, FL and everything was absolutely stunning thanks to Kelly. I found Kelly on the Knot and instantly connected with her over our first few phone calls. She is everything I wanted in a planer. She is understanding, calm, realistic, receptive, and super reliable. We live in Chicago, so I needed someone that I knew was knowledgeable of the area and would be consistently available throughout the planning process. Kelly was all of those things and more! She planned our monthly phone calls at the times that worked best for us, helped us find all of our vendors, worked with the EPIC hotel staff to ensure everything from the room block to the logistics of our day of would be seamless, and it all was. She truly exceeded all of our expectations when it came to the planning and then wowed us even more on the day of! On the day of, Kelly ensured everything went BEYOND perfect. All of our guests were on the transportation shuttles we provided, our exit from the church with a surprise release of butterflies went PERFECT, our reception was planned to the minute, and most importantly Kelly was there for me every second of the day for whatever I needed. We will never forget our special day and owe a lot of it’s perfection to Kelly’s assistance throughout the process. We can’t thank you enough, Kelly! Not only is she a phenomenal planner but someone that even our families felt became a special friend. Thank you again!

Kelly is a true professional in every sense of the word. We recently worked together with her on an event at Coral Gables Woman's Club and the event was a total success. As a catering company we often work with event planners but Kelly is so much more. She will go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is covered. It really is rare to find an event planner who is willing to work as a team. We look forward to working many more events with Kelly in the future.

Hiring Kelly was the smartest wedding related decision I could have made! We worked together thoughout the entire year leading up to the big day. Kelly lets you be as involved or as hands-off as you like in all the decisions. She understood my vision for the event and I trusted her to make choices based on our style that I knew we would love.
Although hiring a planner can be expensive, I think you end up saving money in the long run. Based on your budget Sarah will only show you vendors that you can afford. This makes the decision process much less stressful (and way more fun) because you can focus on picking what you want vs. worrying: how much is this going to cost?, is this vendor showing me options that are out of my price range?, are these fees normal? etc. Such a stress relief.
When it came to the rehearsal and day of, I was able to focus on ME! Not on transportation, guests, vendor deliveries, setting up decorations, hair/makeup appointments, timelines, etc. Kelly took care of all of that so I could truly enjoy my wedding day. I heard many compliments from guests saying how well the event was run and how everything went off seamlessly. They were giving me the credit, but in reality it was all Kelly!

Finding Kelly was truly the greatest thing we could have done. She was incredible throughout the entire process and a true joy to work with! I am so grateful to have had her with me during planning and she was a total ROCKSTAR on the day of. My wedding party was huge and she managed to keep everyone in place and happy! She wiped my tears (a lot), concealed my mascara that ran all the way down my face, managed to get the frosting off of me and was truly just so so so incredible. It’s hard to find words to describe how wonderful our day was and we couldn’t have done it without her. WE LOVE KELLY!

As an international student, I started planning my wedding in the US all by myself with no experience at all. I started searching and learning along the way. Before I found Kelly, I talked to some other wedding planners, but I just could not decide if I really want to work with any of them. Until I found Kelly, she is very sincere, highly responsive and right on the point. She made everything much more simple and I instantly know she is going to be my wedding planner. During all the planning process, Kelly is really helpful, she helped me find every vendor that I want. She understands what I want and tries her best to make them come true. When I got stressed and worried about things, she could always found a way to make me feel better. On the wedding day, everything went on smoothly and it was out of my expectation! I felt it was just like a dream because the wedding was literally perfect! What's more, Kelly is so sweet that she prepares a card and gift for us! All I want to say is thank you so much, Kelly! I feel so happy and lucky that I choose you to be my wedding planner, I wish all the best to you:)

Kelly is by far the BEST decision we made for our wedding day! I was very hesitant on getting a wedding planner but I am so happy I decided to go through with booking Kelly. Kelly went above and beyond to help us plan our wedding every step of the way. From recommending great vendors to being available for any question or appointment needed, I knew I could count on her. The planning process was smooth and seamless and would not have been possible without her guidance and suggestions.
On the actual wedding day, Kelly and Becky helped everything run perfectly. Kelly and team are super organized and are prepared for anything that could happen.
Do yourself a favor and book Kelly if you are contemplating a wedding planner. You will not regret it as she will make your day perfect! Thank you so much Kelly!

Kelly was such a pleasure to work with as our month-of wedding planner. Even though we only hired Kelly for the month of wedding planning, she was available to answer questions and offer advice in the months leading up to our wedding. Once we were working with her more consistently the month before the wedding, she was always the most meticulously organized, responded promptly and was super helpful. On the day of the wedding, all of the behind the scenes details were seamless and that is because of Kelly. We cannot recommend her enough; thank you Kelly!

My husband and I can’t even begin to describe how truly amazing Kelly is. We hired her for partial wedding planning and had our first meeting at Starbucks. From our first meeting, I knew Kelly was the perfect planner for us. Although Kelly is based in Miami, she had no problem taking on the role of our wedding being in West Palm Beach. Kelly went above and beyond the duties of a wedding planner. I truly do feel like I’ve gained a friend. She made the wedding planning process fun and I’ll honestly miss it because she made it so enjoyable. Kelly went out of her way to assist us with whatever we needed. She made program fans for all of our guest for the ceremony after I made a simple request she didn’t hesitate to volunteer to do it. The week leading up to the wedding I was stressed over the weather because it was predicted to rain and Kelly did an amazing job being positive and keeping me calm. Even the day before the wedding we were still questioning whether or not we should hold the ceremony indoors, but Kelly never doubted the day would be perfect. On my wedding day as Kelly predicted all along, the weather was perfect. She ensured my day wasn’t stressful even though there were a few minor hiccups. She also did a phenomenal job holding her own with difficult venue coordinators all while remaining professional. The day was absolutely perfect and amazing. Kelly, I’m so grateful for you. I recommend her to anyone whose in need of a planner. I promise you won’t be disappointed and it will be THE best decision. I’m currently trying to convince her to plan our baby shower for our future baby lol. Kelly, thank you ! And a big thanks to your assistant Becky as well.

Kelly was the BEST decision we made when it comes to vendors for our wedding day! Having her around took SO much stress out of our wedding day and let us truly enjoy every moment.
We realized a day of wedding planner could be helpful after my mom got stuck taking on this role at my sister's wedding a few years ago. Kelly stepped in way before the "day of" to make sure contracts and all paperwork were taken care of and helped to get finishing details ironed out and ready to go. On our wedding day, she and Becky played a major role in making our wedding day as smooth and organized as it could go.
In addition to face to face meetings, emails, calls, text, etc., we met for an on-sight visit before the wedding to walk through everything to ensure all was taken care of and that things were how my husband and I wanted them. Throughout the entire planning process, Kelly was incredibly helpful with any questions or concerns I had. She got back to my emails, texts and calls within minutes!
As for the day of the wedding, Kelly and Becky were absolute lifesavers! (Girls, hang on because time on your wedding day goes by at lighting speed and no matter how much you think you have things planned and ready to go, chaos breaks out at some point!) Kelly and Becky were a huge reason that things stayed calm and organized from the time we were getting ready until after the reception ended. Kelly even walked around with my husband and I as we were taking pictures on the beach with out photographer and fluffed my dress, held my shoes, carried my veil and took pictures with her own iPhone so we could get a sneak peek right away (still waiting photographer's photos). I truly don't want to imagine my wedding day without Kelly and Becky around!

We used Kelly Doss to help with the “Day of” wedding planning and coordination for my daughters wedding . This was the BEST investment we made !!!!! Kelly and her assistant, Becky, were so organized ! They showed up with a Smile, Cart to transport things, Walkie Talkies, emergency wedding kit, timeline, a calm demeanor, and lots of patience. Kelly coordinated with our vendors before the wedding, came to theRehearsal and promptly answered any questions I had whether it was by phone, text, or email, and stayed well after the reception was over to make sure everything had been taken care of. Not only was she professional she is a kind, caring woman who seems to love what she does and it shows !!! Our daughters wedding this past weekend was just perfect and we have Kelly Doss to thank for that !!!!
