Before we made a single decision for our wedding, Hery and I knew we wanted to hire full service wedding planners -- while planning the wedding, I was a full time graduate student with a full time job and an extensive commute, and my husband wa...s working as a traveling nurse, so we knew we needed an extra hand to keep our sanity. However, we both had a clear vision of the aesthetic and overall feel of our wedding weekend, so finding planners whose aesthetic coincided with ours was crucial. The ladies at Kyle Michelle Weddings are everything we could have asked for and more. Throughout our 15 months working together, they felt like best friends, sisters, confidantes, business partners, moms, stylists, advisors ... everything I needed! From suggesting vendors, to creating contracts, attending meetings, coordinating rentals, creating and distributing timelines, putting favors together, getting materials printed, etc. they took care of all the details. On the wedding day, our breath was taken as we saw how perfectly they executed our vision (these amazing ladies not only styled the event, but they also were our florists). It was such an incredible moment seeing our vision come to life, all of the details we discussed so many months before coming together in perfect harmony.
Additionally, Hery and I joked that Kristin, Meghan, Olivia, and their intern were our own personal secret service team that weekend. They efficiently made sure we never saw each other pre ceremony while getting ready, dealt with any last minute hiccups (as they are inevitable), and kept everyone informed and everything moving smoothly the whole night.
Having been a bridesmaid 8 times in the past and Hery a groomsman 6 times, we have had our fair share of DIY weddings where we left exhausted from putting together centerpieces the night before, baking cake pops at 2 am, standing in latters hanging lanterns from trees for an outdoor ceremony, and cleaning up for hours after the event before having to hop in the car for a 12 hour ride home. It was essential that our wedding weekend felt like glamorous getaway, that our family and friends felt pampered, relaxed, and loved on the whole time. We were able to achieve this goal with the help of Kyle Michelle Weddings.
If you're on the fence about hiring planners, meet with these incredibly talented women, and you will never regret it for one moment. Our wedding was perfect and stress free, including leaving for the honeymoon only a few short hours after the event concluded, because of them. They went above and beyond at every turn (returning my Rent the Runway accessories for me the day after, putting all the cards and miscellaneous items in our hotel room that night, calligraphying our envelopes... I keep thinking of more things they did that were amazing!).
We are hugely grateful to Kristin, Meghan, and Olivia. I felt like Cinderella, and they were my fairy god-mothers. What more could a girl ask for?
