KMT Event Group

t the day of my wedding and helped me nail down final details that I hadn't thought of - I highly suggest hiring this group of talented ladies - I was happily in my own little bridal bliss on my wedding day and didn't worry about a thing. Side note - their showroom is also BOMB- I picked out some of my wedding details on site and didn't have to worry about trucking them to and from the venue! My husband even gave me props the other day, telling his co-worker - "hiring KMT was one of the best decisions that I made" in regards to planning our wedding. And to KMT - can't wait to use you guys again!

led review below. We booked KMT immediately after meeting Kia for the first time. Originally planning to have an a la carte wedding at a large warehouse venue, we knew we needed the full service package. After 7 months (of a 2-year engagement) of preliminary planning, the venue ultimately told us that they couldn’t guarantee an exact date for us until “2 months out”. Navigating this tough time without KMT is unimaginable. We secured a new venue that was just what we were looking for within the next month. The next year and a half was nothing but smooth sailing thanks to KMT. Timelines, responsibilities, and expectations were extremely clear. We worked directly with Amanda and I can truly say as a detail-oriented, control preferred person - I trusted her to handle everything and didn’t have a single worry. Amanda was professional, calm, reassuring and handled EVERYTHING. Even going as far as sewing a small mishap in my dress moments before walking down the aisle. There are so many details and moments that I truly don’t know what I would have done if they weren’t on my team. If you want your wedding to be an easy enjoyable experience, exceed any and all of your expectations and meet two amazing , kick-ass women in the process - you’re wasting time than looking any further than KMT.

bly helpful. They took all my stress away and took care of absolutely everything. I had nothing to worry about with them by my side. Honestly, I could not imagine the day without them and would not want to. They calmed my nerves on the day of and made me feel so comfortable. Everyone (guests, family, vendors) were saying how absolutely amazing they are. I am telling everyone that you NEED them at your wedding - you will not be disappointed. They are worth every single penny and more. Thank you Amanda and Kia- my wedding would not have been the same without you!

n point and put out any fires to where I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not to mention they are the most genuine and sweetest humans ever! Amanda really understood what we wanted and helped make it all happen. I truly can't recommend them enough!

their best to make it happen. I can't imagine having done our wedding without them, there are so many little details that you don't think about for the day of the wedding but that *someone* has to take care of. Packing up the gifts, taking the centerpieces or any other decorations, grabbing the guest book, etc. And those little things add up to way too much work/responsibility for the wedding party or family. Having a day-of coordinator at least is an essential now for most weddings and these are the people you want!

coordinators (thinking their involvement was minimal) but they contacted EVERY vendor to confirm the schedule beforehand and that everyeone was on the same page. Our wedding was superhero themed, but the true unsung heroes of the night were these two ladies who went above and beyond to allow me to be fully present on the most magical night of my life. One example was that one of my bridesmaids was slightly uncomfortable with her false eyelash extensions falling off and Kia walked IN HEELS to CVS to get glue. At times I was slightly stressed about the timing of the wedding, Amanda would sense that slight sense of worry and would be at my side to reassure me that everything was completely taken care of and on schedule. Multiple times of the day they would gently nudge photographers, hair/makeup to stay on schedule, and would always advocate for the bride's opinion no matter how small the decision was (veil or no veil in a picture), etc. But what was the most impressive thing about Amanda and Kia was their beautiful souls and a genuine love of taking care of others. Their high energy and warmth in their personalties was infectious and it is truly rare to find people more dedicated to their job than this team of angels. Do yourself a solid and book this team, you won't regret it!!

ading up to the wedding and an absolute angel day of. From the big things (making sure everyone stayed on schedule, set-up, etc.), to the smaller things (making sure we had a chance to eat and encouraging us to take a minute for ourselves), to the things we never could have anticipated (saving our guests from a crazy swarm of gnats), Kia's help allowed us to enjoy and be fully present for one of the biggest days of our lives. At one point during our reception, my husband told me, "when you first told me that you wanted to hire someone to run the show day-of, i didn't get it. I DEFINITELY get it now. Kia is amazing!" This was honestly an extremely hard review to write. I always like to be completely honest in reviews and address both positives AND negatives. There wasn't a single negative to working with Kia and the positives could go on for pages and pages. If I had to do this all over again, Kia would be my first phone call every. single. time.

edding planning process on my own. We opted for the Month-Of planning package. My husband and I were beyond impressed with Kia's planning and organization skills and how she spoke about planning our wedding with the same passion as if she was speaking about her own wedding. My only regret with KMT is not getting the full wedding planning package! About 6 weeks before the wedding Amanda stepped in and took over the final details for me. Comparing my planning process with Amanda to some of my other friends who didn't have a coordinator really opened my eyes to the value of KMT's services. When people would say to me leading up to the wedding "oh you must be so stressed" I would say "not really!" which was true! I had all the faith in the world in KMT and they far exceeded my expectations. I even had someone comment they've never seen a more relaxed bride-to-be...I owe it to KMT! The day of the wedding their services were invaluable. When there was a little hiccup or the timeline needed to be tweaked just a bit Kia and Amanda handled it effortlessly. Nobody asked me anything (which was the way I wanted) and if they did have a question I would refer them to Kia and Amanda who answered their question quickly and correctly. They even helped tweak my centerpieces at the reception when not enough blush flowers were included! All in all, do yourself a favor and hire KMT to help plan your wedding, at the very least for Day-Of planning. So beyond happy I can call myself a KMT bride! Thanks ladies!

ded some help. From my first call with Kia, I knew I had hit the jackpot. She treated me like an old friend and clearly was a professional wedding expert- the two things I needed. Her and Amanda swooped right in and relieved so my pressure and stress in the final days of planning, making the whole process so much easier and nicer. Day of, they were like my personal cheering squad and made sure things went off without a hitch (or as much as possible with a wedding). I am so grateful for all their help and cannot recommend them enough. If you're even thinking about hiring a planner DO IT with KMT - you won't look back!

rfect and was there to answer any and all questions we had before the wedding. The weeks leading up to the wedding can be a stressful time with so many moving parts and a struggle to create the perfect timeline for the day, however once Amanda (our day of coordinator) joined on a couple weeks out everything became a breeze. It was so easy to upload and collaborate with her on Google Drive and not one detail was skipped over (timelines, photo lists, event floor plans, etc). She contacted all our vendors and made sure that they knew the minute to minute timeline of the day and assured us everything would be amazing, and it certainly was!!! The morning of, Amanda showed up and everything just seemed to slide right into place and any jitters we had melted away. From making sure everything in the venue was set up correctly to getting everyone to and from each area of the wedding on time to even stopping traffic in the middle of Broad Street to ensure we got the perfect photos; we got more then I could have ever expected! We would 100% recommend to hire KMT and Amanda for your wedding as we know for a fact it will be the best day of your life!!!!!

to our wedding weekend. Finalizing timelines, organizing a surprise visit of my cat (sprung on her by my now husband the week of the wedding), reaching out to all vendors, our wedding party... I was dealing with a last minute dress catastrophe and I didn’t need to worry about anything else - KMT handled it all! From the Friday rehearsal to the end of the reception, our team, Amanda, Nia and Jackie nailed it. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how seamless the whole day was which wouldn’t have been possible without KMT. Oh! And I can’t not mention that although we only booked them for the wedding weekend, we ran into 2 big venue issues throughout the planning process and they were an amazing resource for us! KMT is everything you want in a weekend coordinator... and more!

ndle-loving bunch! Fast forward to the day of my wedding- Amanda was literally the best counter-part I could have asked for- from making sure all my hair and makeup people were paid/tipped to pining my dress when my shoes ripped the hem of my dress, Amanda was always there making sure I was ok and my vision was executed. Thank You for everything!!!!

care of everything. I didn't need to communicate with my vendors before the wedding, they had it all under control. My wedding was perfect and they had a huge part in that. If anything did go wrong, I had no idea about it, and that's how it should be! Thank you KMT for being so awesome! If you need a wedding planner, look no further. KMT has it all - amazing staff with wonderful personalities, great inventory and great planning capabilities!

gave us ideas that we would never have thought of (personalized bathroom towels, monogrammed bar, 500 fresh rose petals, and on and on). She is super responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. My whole family fell in love with Kia. She kept everything in order the day of my wedding and kept a smile for the entire 12 hour day :) She also SAVES YOU MONEY!! Her in-house inventory is amazing and she always finds the best deals on items she doesn't have (she has tons of connections and wholesale pricing). Since I was planning our wedding in between jobs, I thought I could do all the wedding planning myself. I felt that I could take care of researching vendors, but I soon realized I was missing that design piece to transform our venue and make our wedding an experience for our out of town guests traveling from 21 states and 2 countries. Kia was the ONLY wedding planner I talked to who shared in my "experience" vision (just follow her instagram and you will be blown away!) I received a whole design vision board from Kia right away after talking to her about our design wishes and then worked with her for months on making the vision come to life. Thank you so much Kia for making my wedding everything we imagined and more!

ke our wedding dreams come true!! The team set up our venue to PERFECTION and did not let me down! Brides do yourselves a favor, take the stress away and get KMT to help you out!!!! Thank you team for EVERYTHING!

om the beginning, KMT was friendly, responsive, professional, and all around amazing to work with. We were so excited about working with Kia that we opted for the Month-Of coordination and it was hands down the best decision we made. Amanda was our month-of coordinator and we're actually obsessed with her. My husband and I got a long with her really well and looked forward to every call/meeting we had. The final weeks before the wedding, I was super stressed, but every time we spoke with Amanda I was instantly calmed and reassured that our day would be handled perfectly. We also took advantage of their in-house inventory which helped cut some costs out of our floral and decor budget, and made our day look even more beautiful! They also handled things like our seating chart and setting up all of our ceremony extras (programs, card box, etc) It really allowed us to enjoy our day, along with our families and wedding party. Our friends and family commented about how awesome she was on our day, along with her day-of assistant Traci. I can't say enough good things about KMT. Kia, Amanda, and their team are perfect wedding planning angels and will make your wedding FLAWLESS! They took the stress out of the final month of wedding planning and we just genuinely enjoyed getting to know them! SERIOUSLY - HIRE THEM.

responsive and organized. Kia made herself available after many dinner hours to address our planning anxieties by phone. Kia has spreadsheets and timelines that help you get control over what to do. Kia was very helpful identifying several things we hadn’t anticipated, and everything panned out in the end. Amanda made sure to make a site visit before our day to get the lay of the land. When our day came, Kia was timely and helpful, and Amanda absolutely crushed the preparation, the procession, refilling the drink stations, cutting cake, and assisting with the breakdown. Amanda was so organized and on top of her shit with the vendors that we truly enjoyed our day without worrying about any of the details. We chose to give KMT a 5-star review not just because we had a problem-free wedding; we experienced a huge challenge less than 24 hours before our day. For your research purposes, you only need to know that our challenge was circumstantial and not the result of any mistake KMT made. And yet, Kia and Amanda worked with us and gave the extra effort to ensure their promises were kept. I felt Kia’s response to our situation was very professional, and our wedding went perfectly. If we had to do it all again, even with how things unfolded for us, we would choose KMT again.

professionalism, and thouroughness. There wasn’t anything that KMT missed! Amanda even carried a fanny pack (a cute one haha) day of with all the last minute things we may have needed; e.g. mints. She was on top of everything!! KMT provides in house wedding decor inventory that you can choose from which was a life saver for us! I don’t know how many day of coordinators offer something like that! KMT went above and beyond my expectations. They truly know what they are doing and allows you to really enjoy your wedding. People will tell you that at least one thing will go wrong on your wedding day. Maybe I was a lucky one but not one thing did and I credit a lot of that to Amanda.

ors and they disappeared during the reception - I’ve never been to a wedding where other vendors frantically come up to the bride and groom asking where the day of coordinators are.To make things easier, we created a list for KMT that was reviewed with our second point of contact but not followed. Our wedding plans changed due to inclimate weather and KMT did not deliver on making the indoor space inviting; our ceremony and reception pictures were ruined (something we will never get back). The day before the wedding we reached out to the point of contact we assumed would be coming to the wedding and asked her to please make sure the room was comfortable and looked decent. We were assured it would be comfortable and beautiful. The room for our ceremony was 90 degrees, everyone was sweating, and instead of taking the time to make the room look nice, a hideous white hospital sheet was used to cover the gorgeous fireplace of a 5 star hotel. My veil and dress also almost caught on fire walking down the aisle (as did my mother in laws dress). Additionally, we rented chargers through KMT that were terrible quality (chipped, faded). They put our favors out before the guests even sat down and further ruined the aesthetic/place settings. They tried to nickel and dime us for small charges and were extremely difficult to work with. I will say the girls that showed up were nice but clearly overwhelmed and had no idea what we had discussed with our first two points of contacts. KMT has free in house inventory which we wanted to donate our decorations to (or have recycled). Instead, they were thrown all over our room after the reception and we spent the rest of our wedding night trying to clear a path so we could go to bed. Kia was extremely rude to my husband on numerous occasions and was always too busy to get involved when necessary. Unfortunately we will never get this day back and we would have been better off spending the money elsewhere with a kinder more experienced group. If you want happy memories of your event, do not work with KMT. We give them one star for showing up (several hours later than they were supposed to).

r and Rachael made sure everyone felt special. We couldn't be more grateful!!!

eckers as my big day approached. As an extremely detail oriented person, I bombarded them with more information than they would have cared to receive yet they handled each nuance of the day with absolute attention. On the day of they EMBODIED GIRL POWER - they were absolute bosses in leading my vendors/bridal party yet kept me laughing and calm all day long. They never looked stressed or worried. (Even though the valet team we hired arrived 35 minutes late!) They were battling on my behalf during the entire process so that myself and my hubby were able to actually enjoy the day we planned. I am so thrilled to have met these women and cannot wait to recommend them to everyone I know.

ing. Luckily, I had the wonderful, super organized, attention-to-detail Kia to guide me! Kia scheduled multiple meetings with me to make sure I was on top of my planning and not forgetting anything. Often times, she would text or email me just to ask if I needed help with anything. I told her I was struggling with table cards and she went above and beyond and HANDMADE all my signs, table cards, and table card stand, which came out beautifully and fit with the style I wanted. Candice also made this detailed timeline of the wedding day that had everything down to the minute! The timeline had all of the names of the vendors and cell phone numbers so they could be easily contacted. Kia emailed the timeline to all of my vendors the week prior to the wedding so they would know when and where they had to be on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Candice brought an assistants from KMT with her. Her lovely assistant Amanda was always by my side, making sure my bridal party and I were comfortable. Meanwhile, Kia ran around the venue checking to see if everything was set up properly. THE ENTIRE WEDDING DAY RAN SMOOTHLY. Even my bridesmaids said they felt really pampered and thanked me for making everything so easy for them (Thank you KMT!). I highly recommend Kia because she will make your wedding planning SO MUCH EASIER. With her professionalism, organization skills, and great personality, she makes you feel like she will do all she can to make sure your wedding day is your best day ever!

n't want to deal with (I'm that groom!) and, in the case of my bride, engage full-on with someone deeply interested in every last nuance and detail of the event. Going with them is smart choice. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

azing she was the day of the wedding - she brought assistants that were terrific, dealt with all the vendors, keep everyone on schedule, and handled any last minute changes/decisions which allowed me to have a completely relaxed and stress free morning. She set up the ceremony and reception sites (which were beautiful), packed up everything at the end of the night and even delivered our stuff to the hotel. Oh and when someone at my reception got steak juice on my dress (yes, that happened), she was right there with a tide pen, getting it all out! She made that meat juice completely disappear like a freakin' magician! Amanda truly works hard to make her clients happy and their event perfect! The New Mrs Porreca
