Kelly Kennedy was easily the BEST hire among our entire team of incredible wedding vendors.
First of all, her package as a month-of coordinator is an absolute steal for the invaluable guidance and expertise she provides. I am an avid planner ...
by nature, so I prided myself on planning a majority of our wedding, but Kelly was there every step of the way when I had big or small questions. Not to mention, she is an absolute joy to work with; and she was so kind putting up with my OCD and control-freak ways :)
Secondly, when I say she shouldered the entire burden of stress on our wedding day, it's no exaggeration. There was an actual tornado 6 miles away right after our ceremony ended, and she made sure I was last to know (and freak out) about the weather's impending doom all day. She re-arranged the entire venue floorplan so that everyone would be comfortably under overhangs during the rain storm that began during what would have been cocktail hour; she coordinated with our caterer to serve dinner an entire HOUR early; and she had to adjust the timeline completely on the fly for first dance, etc. In the end, it helped make our day more enjoyable in the moment and I would not change a thing. But the only glue that kept the day (and me!) from completely unravelling was Kelly Kennedy.
She is simultaneously a ray of sunshine and a bad ass. She truly saved the day and made it the best day of my husband and I's life -- and so many of our guests have told us it's the best wedding they've ever been to! All of that is a credit to Kelly, and we could not be more thankful for her guidance throughout the entire wedding planning process and her leadership the day of the wedding.
In short: HIRE HER NOW! :)

I chose to hire Kelly Kennedy Events as my day of coordinator because everyone I spoke with raved about how she was the absolute best so I booked her a year before my wedding date in August. In short, Kelly informed me that she was pregnant one...
month before my wedding date and was due at any moment. At this time, she never said that there was a possibility that she would be unable to coordinate my wedding. She ended up having her baby and informed me 3 days before my wedding date that she would be unable to coordinate my wedding. In return she sent her parents to coordinate my entire wedding. Sadly, my wedding day was a complete mess and my husband and I are out $1600 for day of coordination we did not receive. When I addressed the issue with Kelly, she blamed every issue on everyone else besides herself or her parents. Sadly, Kelly cares less about her brides and more about making a buck, even if that means sacrificing your wedding day for it.
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2017
Cassidy,
I understand your frustration. I apologize for not notifying you earlier that my due date was close to your wedding day. However, I never anticipated that I would not be present. If some unexpected circumstances after childbirth had n...
ot occurred I would have most certainly been there with one of my assistants.
Although I did come to the venue, personally checking in on vendors, the reception set up and yourself that day, my presence nor the presence of my regularly scheduled assistants who have assisted me with over 50 weddings (who just happen to be my parents as it is my family business) did not suffice.
We've discussed this and I have made attempts to try and rectify the situation.
The reason I have the positive references you mentioned is because I truly do care for each of my brides and strive to make their days as special as possible.
Again, I apologize that you felt you day was less than expected. Please call me at your earliest convenience so we can further resolve.

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, do it and hire Kelly! She is amazing and I'm so glad we chose her! We selected day of coordination but Kelly was with us the entire planning process. She provided vendor recommendat...
ions, advice, and kept us on track! I don't know what we would have done without her. It was great to have someone be "in charge" on our wedding day so that we could enjoy our day. I can't even list all of the things she did but here are some of the highlights: made sure my husband and I were served dinner and drinks so we did not have to go through the buffet line, kept us to our timeline that she created, packed our get away car (and included to go boxes of dinner and cake!!), and cleaned up the venue making sure all of our belongings got to the right place! Kelly did a fantastic job and I am so thankful that she worked so hard to make our wedding day special!

Wow! Words can't even express how amazing Kelly was for our wedding this past weekend. I couldn't even wait till I got back from the honeymoon to leave a review. Our wedding would not have been what it was if it wasn't for her. She had set up t...
he whole thing beautifully, organized with the vendors beforehand for a timeline, always available when I had a question. The day of she made sure everything went smoothly! Not only that, she was always on top of the littlest things, like having a new drink ready as soon as mine was low, she had a garter on hand in moments notice when I sat down for the toss and realized I didn't have one, and so many more things that would just be to much to list. The best decision I made for this wedding was hiring Kelly! Thank you so much for everything!!!!

From the first conversation I had with Kelly I knew she was the perfect coordinator for us. She was easy to talk to and got my vision, so much fun to work with, super sweet and on top of things that I immediately felt calmer. I cannot say enoug...
h about what she did for us on our wedding day. Kelly was like a ninja, setting up decor, running between the bride and groom suites, talking to the DJ when I wanted him to play different music, helping me get ready for the first look - she did not stop running the entire day and made it look like nothing. Kelly was always there when I had a question or wanted to change something last minute. The day could not have gone smoother. She was unbelievable and seriously the MVP of our wedding :)

I seriously cannot rave about Kelly enough. Our wedding was everything we could've dreamed and hoped for. Everything went so smoothly and she took amazing care of us all night. If there were any mishaps or bumps in the day we didn't know about ...
them and they were fixed. Kelly was so organized and kept everything running smoothly. Her team did such a great job at taking care of the reception venue while everyone was preparing for the ceremony which was an hour away. All my vendors that worked with Kelly said she was such a joy to work with. I seriously can't brag enough about her and will be recommending her to any bride that is in the planning stages. I never thought a wedding day coordinator was necessary but after working with Kelly this was the most necessary person for the day of the wedding. I wish Kelly the best in all her future endeavors because she completely deserves it! All praises to Kelly!
