Kim Moody Design

she designed what I really wanted. The results were fantastic! I couldn’t be happier that I chose them to handle the flowers for my wedding party. The flowers were gorgeous and smelled amazing. I definitely recommend using Kim Moody Design for your flowers.

hat we could focus on our bliss. We could not have asked for better!

or my wedding.

rted the wedding planning myself. After phone conferencing with my mom and Honey Armstrong (our planner) for the first time, my mom realized how imperative it would be to have her help us through the wedding planning process. Honey was great stepping into the work I had started, and immediately took a huge load off my shoulders. We spent hours on the phone with her. She took the vision of my wedding and added unique design twists to make it even better than we could have imagined. She worked with so many difference vendors behind the scenes to ensure our day went perfectly. She and Lindsey (her assistant for the day of) worked super hard to make the ceremony and reception spaces perfect for our guests. Honey made sure my ideas as the bride, came first. We also did our florals through Kim Moody, and everyone raved about how beautiful our flower were. There was a little bit of time where the company went through some staffing changes are were spread a bit thin and they weren't quite as responsive as I was used to. But in the end, our wedding came together perfectly and we know we could not have done it without Honey and KMD!

ing details FUN and found a way to always keep me on track. Our memories of the day are how great everything turned out...thanks to Honey and team.

h of my day's experience. Our event was a while ago now, but it is still with me. I hope someone else can learn from my experience. I had a conversation before contracting with KMD explaining in great detail the needs for our wedding, money being no object. The initial contact with Honey was great, very detailed & I felt comfortable with her recommendation to a Month-Of coordinator based on our needs. We spoke on the phone with the coordinator beforehand & I was admittedly not over the moon but knew we just needed someone to follow directions. It just went downhill from there. We had to speak to her several times about being responsive. Her response: it was busy season & she had a lot of other clients. She showed attitude towards several of our vendors and on the day of, it was disastrous. My family, who flew over 6,000 miles, had to step-in because our coordinator was nowhere to be found. She didn't even talk to me, the Bride, until I arrived to walk down the aisle at my scheduled time. She caused a fire on the head table & ruined our Italian velvet runners, after specifically instructing her not to light the candles due to winds. She didn't have over $6k worth of flowers moved to the reception space. The list goes on. My guests, vendors & family left complaining about everything that involved her. We were in touch with Kim for a month after our honeymoon. Kim confessed her firm's fault & yet, she offered us no solutions. In the end, when we said we would charge-back half our contract, she finally offered a credit for 5% of our contract. We would've pursued this further if we lived closer as this was very poorly handled. No bride wants to remember the bad from such a beautiful moment, so I am sure many others have just walked away. Now, so can I.

zed, had all the vendors organized and informed of everything going on. Would highly recommend this company!

hey no longer wanted to offer partial services at all, and increased the prices, all while in the midst of discussing a potential contract! We will be finding another planner.

ghout the process the big day and she was available by email at any time to answer any questions or give suggestions or ideas. We are so happy that we decided to go with Kim Moody Design for planning. We also did our florals through KMD and we were very happy with how all of the flowers turned out. We would seriously recommend KMD for planning and florals.

nterviewed in person with multiple wedding planners in the Richmond area. Then, I knew my search was over when I spoke with Honey one night on the phone. I didn’t need to meet with her to know that THIS WAS MY GIRL! I spoke with her for about 30 minutes about what Kim Moody Design had to offer & their work ethic and I was sold. I went with the partial planning option and couldn’t be happier with everything Honey and the ladies at Kim Moody Design have done for us. They made the wedding planning process easy. Honey was also there to refer vendors, answer questions, offer opinions. She literally has the answer to everything! During my planning process, Honey was pregnant and had her beautiful baby boy! Honey worked incredibly hard while she was pregnant and basically had my October wedding completely finalized before she went on maternity leave in August. Like who does that?! Honey does! Because she’s THAT AWESOME! While Honey was on maternity leave, I was in great hands. Kim went above and beyond to make sure that I was well taken care of. To make the wedding planning process even easier (and better) I used a lot of Kim Moody Design’s services. They have rental décor that we used for a lot of our decorations. We also used their floral service for all of our flowers, which were AMAZING! We used them for stationary and even though I’m biased, we had the coolest invitations ever! I even bought most of the gifts for my ladies from Trend in Carytown. When it came to the actual wedding weekend, everything was flawless! Honey was back from maternity leave because she’s again, THAT AWESOME! It poured rain during our outdoor rehearsal and Honey was quick and efficient with making sure we felt confident for the next day. The wedding day was everything I could have ever dreamed of. We had Honey & Regis with us and Kim even came to deliver my flowers and help set up. They were all wonderful. If anything went wrong during that day, my husband and I have no clue about it & that’s what they are there for. They set up all of our decorations & flowers (which they did perfectly) so we could enjoy the day. They were there for literally anything we needed. Not only were they there for my husband & I, they were there for our wedding party & family as well. My Mom would not stop talking about how well taken care of she felt by Honey & Regis. The entire day, they stuck to our timeline and our whole day felt perfect and flawless. At the end of the night, they were there to pack everything up so we yet again, had nothing to worry about. Seriously, when I say Kim Moody Design made our wedding perfect, they really did. We are so forever grateful for everyone at Kim Moody Design for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If you are looking for someone to deliver a wedding beyond your expectations, I highly recommend Kim Moody Design.

onfusion out of the planning process. I am very type-A, armed with my to-do lists, excel sheets, and binders. I was convinced that I didn't need a planner, and should spend the money elsewhere for the wedding. But at the end of the day, it comes down to this: on the day of, you don't want your BMs, moms, friends, or yourself to have to run around prepping flowers, lining people up, timing everything, coordinating with vendors, organizing paperwork, taking care of payments and tips, etc. The list literally goes on forever. On the wedding day, Honey and Nicole (who helped as a second planner on the day of), got there early and set up everything like it was out of a magazine. They brought all of my ideas to life and ran around making sure every detail was in place while I got ready with my girls and enjoyed the moment. If there is one "splurge" that I would recommend to anyone over nicer flowers, a more expensive dress, or anything else, it is to first get a planner - ideally one from KMD. Side benefit: we ended up saving money on a lot of things (especially decor) because Honey knew all the tips and tricks on where to buy certain items and knew the quantities that we actually needed. Honey made everything so painless and I am SO grateful to have had her (and the KMD team) by my side for our wedding!

rful comments and reviews about this wedding planner company. They did NOT disappoint. We opted for the full service planning, as my daughter lives out of town and was getting married in another city as well...it just seemed like too much to tackle at a distance. Using KMD was definitely one of our best decisions. Honey Armstrong was our lead planner and she was extremely organized and had many useful tips and suggestions along the way. These ladies truly know their "stuff" :) I always felt like my decisions and thoughts were primary in their planning, but they knew when to intervene to help make things work smoothly. Other vendors that worked with us were very complimentary of this team - they all felt relieved knowing that things would run smoothly with KMD at the helm which makes life so much easier for everyone. We had a very last minute change in where we were holding the actual ceremony at F/F due to the heat - it rattled no one (maybe me?!) - but things moved so seamlessly and smoothly...it was truly a testimony to how absolutely terrific Honey and her wonderful assistant (Nicole McAllister) are ! Additionally, KMD did our florals for the wedding and they were AMAZING! I have never seen such beautiful arrangements to the bridal bouquet to the bridesmaids bouquets - to the wedding arbor...in a word...STUNNING! It was a day we will never forget and I will always be thankful for Honey and her help throughout this process. Blessings to this entire team!

weet memories from that entire weekend. I can honestly say I have not one trace of regret or lingering "if only" thoughts. That is largely due to the wonderful wedding planning services of Kim Moody Design. Nicole was appointed as my lead "Day of" planner nearly a year ago. Not only did she and her assistant Honey take care of every detail from start to finish on the wedding weekend; but also provided a wealth of support and creative inspiration throughout the panning process the entire year. For the rehearsal and the wedding day, Nicole and Honey were an awesome duo, multitasking the various vendors, people, and personalities involved. They were super flexible when we decided on a whim to completely change up the bride and groom's exit from one end of the venue property to the other. They seamlessly coordinated the sudden change with the photographer and videographer at the last minute. Also, at one point after the cake cutting, as I noticed several guests staring to leave, I started to panic and urged Nicole that we needed to speed the evening along and wrap things up quicker to keep the guests happy. She assured me this was a normal response at all weddings, and then directed my attention to the dance floor where I observed my daughter and her new husband, and all of their friends having the time of their lives. I was grateful and humbled by her wisdom in that moment that reminded me who that day was really about. Had she not exercised her wisdom in that moment, I might have missed one of my sweetest memories of the day when the bride and groom were surrounded by just a handful of their dearest friends and family for a dusk departure. I am so glad I invested in Nicole, and the KMD team. They were invaluable!

so happy she was part of our wedding. We opted for the Partial Planning and Day of Management, and it was one of the best decision we made for our wedding. We had a clear wedding vision, but you just don't realize all the work needed to put the final bow on things! It gave us great piece of mind to have our decisions validated by a professional, get some wonderful ideas that tied to our vision, and have someone review our vendor contracts! We would recommend the Day Of Management to any couple! It really takes the pressure and stress off and allow you to enjoy the day. Everything went seamlessly - as far as we know :D - and we were able to enjoy our special day without worry about cues, set up, or any coordinations, especially since we had two venues! We had already completed a contract for flower or we would have considered KMD. We did use a few things from the KMD rental inventory - a mail box on our gift table for cards (a KMD idea!), tea lights and votives, and a large mirror. We used the mirror for our welcome signs with KMD calligraphy! Our wedding was exactly the way we imagined and we couldn't have pulled it off without the KMD team!

work with. She made our wedding day and the days leading up to it carefree and enjoyable. We didn’t worry about vendors, seating arrangements, or the small details on our wedding day because we knew Kim had everything under control. She made sure that our wedding day was everything we dreamt it would be. In the days leading up to the wedding Kim was the one who reached out to our venue and vendors to ensure that all was taken care of. When my wife had questions or just needed to talk things through during the many months and late nights of planning, Kim was there for her as a friendly sounding board. When our pastor had an obligation she had to attend the night before our wedding, Kim stepped in to ensure that we all knew what to do the day of. Needless to say, Kim and her team went well above the call of duty. Kim was also our florist for the wedding. We could not have been happier with the outcome of our arrangements. I was a bit skeptical at first when I heard Peacock feathers but the final outcome blew me away. I was amazed at how beautiful everything looked and what made me even happier was seeing my wife so excited with the outcome. Kim and her put their heads together and developed arrangements and decorations that received numerous compliments. Did I mention that much of these meetings and brainstorming sessions occurred over the phone? My wife and I were planning our wedding from afar (10 hours to be exact) and Kim was so helpful in making sure that everything was looked after. She knew the people we were wanting to work with and gave us great feedback on how to make everything go smoothly. She was our eyes and ears in Virginia. Kim’s service to us on that day was invaluable. What sets her apart in my opinion though is the personal attention that she gave to my wife and I. Whether it was getting us water while we were outside for our photo shoot or getting my mother a chair while she waited to be photographed, we truly felt like the center of attention. I would agree with the quote at the beginning that I don’t know how anyone can plan a wedding without Kim.

she pulled out, from finding us vendors to being our go between for ever aspect of the wedding day. Her background in design (especially interior and floral) was well utilized in all aspects of the celebration as well, helping the visual elements POP all around. For anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding planner who will make this a breeze, contact Kim. You will DEFINITELY not be disappointed!

g is perfect! Kim Moody Design made our wedding day absolutely beautiful!!
