Cannot say enough great things about Kendall! My husband and I got married in September 2025, and Kendall helped us plan the wedding of our dreams. We began the wedding planning pr...
ocess unsure of what to do and where to even begin. Kendall helped us pick out all of our amazing vendors, and organized all of our meetings and walk throughs. She answered every late night text and accommodated our ever-changing work schedules. Our wedding day went seamlessly, with Kendall and her team taking care of any obstacle that arose. If we had to do everything over again, we would without a doubt hire Kendall and her team! We highly recommend her for all of your wedding planning needs.

m attending walkthroughs and meetings with my venue manager, to asking questions I hadn’t even thought of, Kendall was always several steps ahead and made the entire process feel effortless.
At our rehearsal, she seamlessly led our family through walking down the aisle, and when some family members weren’t able to attend rehearsal, she still made sure to take time on the wedding day to walk them through everything before the event began. That level of care and attention meant so much to us.
Even though I only booked month-of coordination, Kendall was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and always willing to step in and help with anything I needed. On the wedding day itself, everything felt like an absolute dream. To us, the day ran perfectly—and if there were any hiccups behind the scenes, Kendall and her girls handled them so smoothly that we never even noticed.
Her team worked closely with all of our vendors and venue to ensure everything was executed flawlessly. Their professionalism, organization, and calm presence made all the difference. And on top of that, they were so much fun and brought all of the vibes!!
I truly could not recommend Kendall Cherice Events more highly. If you want a planner/coordinator who is proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Kendall is your girl!

nd was even an excellent sounding board when I needed it. From the moment I met her I knew she was the right choice for us. She took the guesswork out of everything.
Day of … Kendall and her crew were fabulous. They did a great job making sure everything was staged perfectly, thoroughly communicated to vendors, and executed wonderfully. They were all positive, hard working and so much fun. Kendall’s team was there to make sure we could all just enjoy the day and even went the extra mile to capture some beautiful moments that I would have otherwise missed.
I highly recommend!

ge was perfect! She stepped in with responsiveness, organization, and was timely and respectful as we caught her up. She helped us sort out all kinds of details and gave us great advice on things we hadn't gotten to yet. All we had to do was show up and enjoy our time with one another and our families!
As a queer couple, we especially wanted someone who would work with us respectfully and with dignity, we felt nothing but support and love from Kendall and her entire team. They were lovely, kind, and positive people to have on our team on such a busy day. Hiring them made all the difference and I would recommend to anyone who may be wondering about reaching out. HUGE thank you to Kendall and her entire team!!!!

uring the actual wedding day, her team was crucial in making sure everything came together seamlessly. One thing I wouldn’t have expected from a planner and her team, was one of the things that made Kendall and her team really stand out. Kendall and her employees took time the time during the days leading up to the wedding to see how I was feeling, and to empathize with any feelings I was having. My friends had prepared me that the moment right before you walk down the aisle can feel really lonely. However, as I was sitting with Kendall’s team right before the aisle walk, I felt like I was relaxed and chatting it up with a long time friend. Her team will truly feel like family - I miss working with them already!!

After having fired my previous coordinator, Kendall was exactly who I needed. As a DIY bride, I needed someone to fill in the gaps and keep me organized. Throughout the planning pr...
ocess, she gave us a resource to help track our budget, seating, and guest list. In the two weeks leading up to our wedding, I was frustrated not at Kendall but with the last-minute things. She empathized and talked me off the ledge, lol.
She is professional, kind, organized, and flexible. While planning I couldn't figure out the layout of our head table so I gave the decor to Kendall and let her do her own thing. It was so beautiful.
On the day of our wedding, we had nothing to worry about. We were able to relax and enjoy our time with our loved ones. I would recommend her to any bride.

After endless searches, I found Kendall Cherice Events and reached out to her to see if she was taking any new clients on. She replied quickly and set me up with her services. She ...
was always quick to reply, easy to work with, and thorough. Kendall filled in all the gaps that I couldn’t see. I could tell by her thought process that she a lot of experience doing weddings or events by the way she reminded me to “think of this or think of that”. Kendall was dedicated to making our wedding day stress free for us and our family. And she sure did. Without Kendall’s help, I know our wedding wouldn’t be the day it was. Her and her team were so marvelous to work with and really just added to how special the day already was. Amongst and above all of this, Kendall was always sweet, kind, and constantly checked on YOU throughout one of the most beautiful yet sometimes stressful moments in one’s life. She is such a caring person and I left feeling like Kendall started as our wedding planner but left as a friend. We will always refer Kendall when anyone asks for a planner. Thank you so much for everything you did for us.

Working with Kendall was nothing short of amazing. We hired her as our wedding planner/director under the “I Do Event Management” package offered by her company, K.Cherice Wedding ...
and Event Planning. Our first meeting with Kendall was in December 2019, for our March 2020 wedding. During the initial meeting she came prepared, and asked all the necessary questions to get a feel for what we had already completed and what was still left to be done before our big day. Between December 2019 and March 2020, we were in constant communication with Kendall. She created a vendor list in order to keep track of all of our wedding vendors, and sent out the day of timeline well in advance to each of the vendors. When the news of the COVID-19 pandemic broke in early 2020, Kendall made sure to keep everyone aware of all the changing wedding arrangements. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our larger wedding celebration due to the pandemic, but that didn’t stop Kendall from doing her job! Ultimately we ended up postponing our wedding a total of two times before finally getting to hold our celebration in August 2020. During that time, Kendall herself got married and moved across the country, but she still managed to keep everyone up to date on our wedding details! On the day of our wedding celebration, Kendall ensured that everything ran smoothly. Kendall was a much needed source of calmness on the wedding day and never missed a beat as far as keeping us within our scheduled timeline. Throughout our extended wedding planning process, Kendall repeatedly went above and beyond her duties. Additionally, we heard from several of our vendors that she was a joy to work with. If you enjoy working with friendly people and want your special day to be executed exactly how you have envisioned it, look no further than K.Cherice Wedding and Event Planning! I assure you that you won’t be disappointed!
