Kaeli (and her team) were easily the best investment we made for our wedding day. We initially interviewed 3 wedding planners and we were shocked at how "transactional" we were treated by others. When we had our call with Kaeli, she asked about our story, our vision and just truly cared about our special day from jump. Beyond that, the connections and relationships she has from working in the industry 15+ years are top tier. We secured our DJ, florist, invitations, rentals, day of signage, and videographer via her recommendations. Those vendors were eager to work with us because we had Kaeli vs. if we reached out cold, the process would have been longer etc. We ended up choosing the full service option with Luna Soiree because we chose a venue that required bringing everything in. Kaeli was so responsive and enthusiastic to guide me through all of my questions, stress, tears and worries leading up to our special day. She quickly turned into a friend and it truly felt like I was planning our big day with someone who has known me forever! Every phone call and meeting was so fun because she was so great to work with. She truly advocated for any changes I requested and fought for me when we hit unexpected hurdles. Fast forward to the big day, there was not one detail left unnoticed. It was so refreshing not having to worry at all about what was going on over at the venue on my wedding day. When I walked through the doors and saw it for the first time, it truly captured everything I could have ever imagined (and more). I was so happy to see all of our conversations and plans come to life. I couldn't believe how perfectly executed our day was. We received endless compliments for weeks. We truly could not have had the beautiful day we did without Kaeli's help and guidance. I would recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding or large event!
My now wife and I hired Kaeli and Luna Soiree in the spring of 2021 to plan our 2022 summer wedding. We were very hands-on when it came to initial planning as well as finding our vendors, and only reached out to Kaeli to help answer some questions and guide us through what needed to be done. She typically responded very slowly to our questions and directly caused us to miss out on our #1 DJ choice.
She continued to ask for grace and patience because they were dealing with their busiest wedding season ever, which we completely understood. However, in the fall (our wedding was the next July), we sent her an email asking about catering and save-the-date cards. At this time, Kaeli informed us that she would need to put our wedding planning on hold until the spring to focus on her other clients and weddings. This was very surprising - we had just wanted a few answers to our questions and we felt it was the least we should expect from our planner. We also knew that we could not hold off on planning our July wedding until the springtime.
We let Kaeli know, respectfully, that we would want to seek the services of another wedding planner that could better meet our needs. Kaeli performed an estimate of 6 hours of work - an initial planning meeting and several emails. We tried to handle this as amicably as possible, but from this point on, over e-mail and on the phone, Kaeli was extremely unprofessional. I have been a small business owner for 12 years, and I would never treat an unhappy client the way that Kaeli treated us.
She declined to give any of the same grace to us that she expected as our wedding planner and refused to give any of our money back. From our perspective, Kaeli is someone who operates with poor business ethics. Luckily for us, we then quickly found a fantastic wedding planner (for less money than Kaeli charges) and couldn’t have been happier with their service and how our wedding turned out!
If you're thinking about a wedding planner, I highly recommend Kaeli and her team. From the first phone to meeting to our big day, Kaeli was patient, kind and understanding. She helped my husband and I make our wedding represent us. Especially with myself, Kaeli and her team helped me with any questions or concerns I had. She is very organized and went over and beyond our expectations of what a wedding planner does. I can't thank her enough for showing me grace and kindness throughout the whole process. As the day got closer, our friends and family had more interaction with Kaeli and her team and had nothing but compliments to say about them. Our wedding wouldn't have been as spectacular as it was if Kaeli hadn't been a part of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kaeli!!!
5 starts just simply isn't enough for Kaeli and her team. She made our wedding day details perfect and seamless. Her drive and positivity for the day as a whole made our family and vendors so comfortable know the day would be executed perfectly. Highly recommend her and her team for your wedding.
I am getting emotional creating this review because there are not enough words to describe how grateful we are for Kaeli and her team. Our day was beyond perfect! If you are looking for a planner that is genuinely excited about your wedding vision and making it the best it can be within your budget, Kaeli is it. You don't have to look any further. She is organized, honest, professional, kind, patient, the list goes on and on. Her love and knowledge of the wedding industry is beyond evident. When we started our planning journey, I had absolutely no idea where to start and Kaeli guided us through everything without hesitation or being pushy. She was the perfect match for us and her heart is pure gold. You will not regret having her help plan your day!
Kaeli and her team at Luna Soiree Events are beyond wonderful. They are so kind, professional, and have an eye for design that really helps all their weddings stand out. Thanks to LSE, I was relaxed as can be on my wedding day and actually got to enjoy getting married! My husband and I get the hugest smile on our faces when we look at the photos of our wedding day. You will not once regret hiring Luna Soiree- we sure didn't!
Professional, kind and caring. Luna Soiree Events is always amazing to work with. They always seem to go above and beyond expectaitons!
When choosing a wedding planner, I had no idea what I was doing. I picked from a list that my amazing venue provided and Luna sounded pretty, so I called. From the minute I spoke to Kaeli on the phone, I felt something in my gut that I was in good hands. Her energy was so positive and welcoming. When we started working together, from day one I recognized she had my back. She always made me feel important, heard, and supported. When I was lost, she found the path for me. She created a safe space for me. She always kept it honest and real, and she was able to keep me focused and create my vision.
She is extraordinary! I am so blessed and lucky to have had her plan the best day of my life, and I could not have been in more capable hands. When I think about my wedding, I think about Kaeli and her amazing talent and spirit that made it all possible. Her and her team are special. I am forever grateful. They are the best of the best, OF the best. Love ya!
We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to work with Kaeli for our wedding. We certainly could not have pulled off such a wonderful event without her! Kaeli was lovely to work with and so kind and supportive. She calmed my nerves and took care of things I had not even thought of. Our event certainly wasn't as big or complicated as some of the other events she does - but she made us feel special and important - and put so much energy in making sure things would go smoothly (she amazingly solved some dilemmas that popped up with such calm and ease!) My only wish is that I got to spend more time planning with her. Kaeli is a lovely person and I am glad to know her. I highly recommend her and Luna Soiree Events to anyone in need of a wedding or event planner and/or coordinator!
I fully expected to be “out of my head crazy busy” planning my daughter’s wedding. Instead it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life thanks to Kaeli. The entire process was wonderful because Kaeli has mastered the art of creating a beautiful event while being ever mindful and diligent about the budget.
I cant say enough about Kaeli and her team. I went into the wedding planning process by myself before realizing I needed major help before I tore my hair out. Kaeli is the most professional and kind person to work with. She not only supports you from day one but she consistently reminds you that you shouldnt stress over the little things you should enjoy every moment of the planning process. I have never felt more taken care of and she personalizes every detail to you and your style. Kaeli would steer me in the right direction when I had no idea what I was doing or couldn't make up my mind. She knows her stuff and keeps you extremely organized. Kaeli made my dream farm wedding a reality and more. I couldn't have asked for a better planner to work with!
Our daughter and her now husband live in Chicago. We were all so excited about their winter wedding earlier this year. They both grew up near Ann Arbor, Michigan and wanted their “dream wedding” to be in this area since most of their friends and relatives were from this area as well. They wanted a unique, over-the-top with florals wedding--which is not easy to do in the middle of winter in Michigan. And obviously, planning a wedding from a distant city is not an easy thing to do.
After interviewing a number of wedding planners, they selected Kaeli and Luna Soiree Events after hearing Kaeli's name recommended from multiple friends and vendors--including the designers at Planterra, the venue they selected. Kaeli’s skill in coordinating and leading wedding efforts was impeccable and it allowed them to continue focusing on their busy careers, knowing the wedding planning was in good hands. Kaeli and her team helped select, coordinate, and design the guest hotels, transportation, rehearsal dinner, rehearsal, photo locations, ceremony, reception, Sunday brunch, and probably more that I'm forgetting! With Kaeli leading the way, they planned a wedding weekend that was creative, incredibly beautiful and meaningful to my daughter, son-in-law, and all of us. My wife and I provided feedback when asked, but mostly were able to sit back and enjoy the planning process and the weekend itself because Kaeli and her team were on top of everything and made it run smoothly.
Kaeli provided a comprehensive timeline, planning out the entire weekend down to the minute, which was so helpful to a detail-oriented person like me. And more importantly than that, the wedding was stunningly beautiful. Kaeli really brought the beauty and creativity to the rehearsal dinner at Vinology and the wedding at Planterra. She designed and created the entire rehearsal dinner from start to finish and worked seamlessly and tirelessly with Planterra's design team on the ceremony area, the reception area, the dance area, and the dinner area. This was my first of my children to get married and I was really nervous about how everything would turn out. I shouldn't have been. I was blown away! Everyone I talked to expressed how much they enjoyed the whole wedding weekend and were quick to point out that it was hands down the best wedding they had ever attended.
The credit for this wonderful wedding belongs to Kaeli Garcia and the Luna Soiree team. I recommend Kaeli so highly as a person, as an extremely competent wedding designer, who creates and brings beauty and uniqueness to each of her events, and as someone who will end up feeling like a friend to the bride, groom, and their families by the time the weekend is over.
Our wedding presented significant challenges, and Kaeli/Luna Soiree Events totally rose to the occasion to pull off a beautifully executed weekend of events. We hired Kaeli to help literally build our wedding venue. I always wanted my wedding to be held at my family's summer home, but to accommodate over 200 guests, this meant creating a venue in a field with no electricity, running water, or cell phone service on a historical property 3 hours from Ann Arbor. Saying this presented challenging logistics is putting it mildly!
Despite the daunting task, Kaeli worked with us and our families to combine our designs and keep us on time in planning a beachside welcome dinner for all guests, the wedding ceremony and reception, and brunch the next day. She connected us with some of our most significant vendors (band, photographer, rentals) in addition to working with local vendors we hired ourselves (caterers, florists, bathrooms, transportation).
Kaeli and her team really impressed us in the weeks prior to and weekend of the wedding. She gave us detailed itineraries to make sure there was a plan for all deliveries, set-ups, and events. This helped coordinate deliveries from all over the state of Michigan. When hiccups occurred, even major ones like a storm delaying installation or the tent company bringing the wrong tents 2 days before the wedding, she worked with us and the vendors to troubleshoot and managed many issues without even bothering us; she always maintained her calm professionalism and sense of humor. She worked through the night and did so the general exuberance she brings to all activities. By the time of our welcome dinner, everything looked perfect and we knew that the wedding would be equally gorgeous the next day. I couldn't believe how beautiful our reception tent and ceremony site looked! Kaeli also succeeded in making the wedding a great experience for guests, too, who had no clue of any of the challenges we faced, and a year later describe the wedding as "legendary." I'm really not sure how we would have accomplished this event without her.
My advice to others is to be realistic about how much help you will need (in our case a lot!), and if you are looking for a beautiful event, a planner who will stand up for you if a challenge occurs, and a great experience for you and your guests, then hire Luna Soiree Events.
Kaeli is hands down one of the most talented and professional people I've ever met. I started the wedding planning process without a very clear vision. I had a sense of what I wanted, but had the hardest time articulating it. Kaeli is truly an expert at her craft; she pinpointed my EXACT style and brought my blurry ideas to life. Kaeli has the most incredible connections in the wedding industry (I swear, she knows everyone!) and I found her advice to be incredibly helpful. She approaches her work with kindness, honesty, and a touch of humor (which is perfect on what could be a very stressful day!). From selecting the floral arrangements, to finding the perfect photographer, Kaeli was there for every meeting. Everything about the day and the planning process, from start to finish, was absolutely perfect. A year later, our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the ceremony and reception were! My husband and I can't thank Kaeli and the Luna Soiree team enough for making our wedding dreams come true. I highly recommend Luna Soiree for your wedding and event planning needs!
Kaeli planned our son's wedding and she was outstanding. She was a delight to work with and everything ran perfectly. She pays attention to every detail and truly becomes friends with those she works with, I highly highly recommend her. Kaeli is a real expert at her trade.
I had very high hopes working with Kaeli, but I unfortunately would not recommend her based on our day-of experience. She sent us an invoice the day before the wedding and charged us 30% over our initial contract and said the payment needed to be completed before wedding day setup. During the wedding, she handled and broke one of our décor items (worth $300) and did not tell us about it until I inquired about it the day after the wedding – she also refused to compensate us for the item. She was responsible for coordinating with our venue for setup and there were not enough chairs for our guests during the ceremony and our head table was also one seat short. Finally, after giving her feedback about our experience, she stated extra charges and labor were on the invoice due to my “indecision” and she asked us not to post a negative review in exchange for her refunding us $300 (less than a 1/3 of her additional, day-before invoice). She was never asked to put in additional hours and took it upon herself to draft a seating chart two months before the wedding when we had no idea what our actual guest count would be. While there were pieces of the wedding that went smoothly, Kaeli lacked the professionalism and communication needed to make this a positive experience. Needless to say, we did not accept her offer and wanted to post this in hopes of preventing anything like this from happening again – we would never want anyone to go through what we went through.
Erika and I hired Kaeli as our Day Of Coordinator for our March Planterra wedding. As well as Day of, Kaeli also coordinated all of our transportation. We had an uncle performing our ceremony for his first time as minister and she coached him through that perfectly. Kaeli’s work was definitely integral to us having a smooth, enjoyable, and successful wedding day. It was perfect! We had met with Kaeli a few times before our wedding as well as had a few phone calls. From these, Kaeli worked up a detailed day of plan that had every possible contingency scheduled for our wedding day. Both our bridal party and vendors were perfectly coordinated and we had zero issues. We had used multiple transportation companies to get the bridal party and guests back-and-forth from the hotel and we also had zero issues there. Throughout the day if any small thing popped up, we had a single point of contact and Kaeli could handle it instantly. At the end of the evening Kaeli’s staff was able to take care of closing everything out helping us with vendor tips and grabbing any personal items for us, delivering it back to our hotel room. Kaeli was a pleasure to work with and nailed both out planning and our day of smooth and easy. Erika and I loved working with her and her team and can wholeheartedly recommend her for any other coordinating events.
Kaeli and the Luna Soiree Events team are the best of the best. From the initial consultation, we knew that Kaeli was the right wedding planner for us. She was kind and engaging, and most importantly - took the time to get to know us. As we went through the planning process, Kaeli made my husband and I feel comfortable in every suggestion we made. She also recommended amazing vendors (and I would recommend all of them in a heartbeat), was mindful of our budget (and even saved us money in some areas!), and helped turn our rough thoughts into a cohesive, beautiful and unique vision. She also helped us quickly address an unforeseen scheduling conflic, which required us to switch our date and venue just a few months before the wedding, with ease.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I was often asked if I was stressed about the wedding. I honestly was not! Kaeli and her team were responsive to any and all questions my husband and I had. In addition, the LSE team handled every little detail - from corresponding with every vendor, to creating a detailed timeline for all of the set-up and tear-down.
All of this is to say - Kaeli and the LSE team created an absolutely perfect and beautiful wedding for my husband and me. Our guests repeatedly told my husband and me that the wedding was very "us," and it would not have been that way without Kaeli's innovative and creative vision, commitment to getting to know us, and ample experience in the wedding planning industry. We would recommend Kaeli to anyone who is planning an event - in Michigan or afar. You won't regret it!
I was on the fence about if I needed a wedding planner, and it turns out that I would be a little indecisive about many things while planning. We started working with Kaeli 16 months before our wedding, and while her advice during our planning period was very helpful, her team really shines the last few weeks and on the wedding day.
She helped me bring into focus my idea of what I wanted, when I had no clear vision in my head when we started. A few weeks before our wedding, she sent our itinerary for the wedding and I almost started crying because of how helpful it was. Kaeli, Elaine, and Leah took a huge weight off my shoulders the wedding day. They were our go-to for any potential issues that might arise, and with our short set-up time frame and bumps in the road, I honestly can say we wouldn't have been able to have the same wedding without them. I even heard of a few issues, weeks after the wedding, because they had taken care of them immediately before anyone told me.
If I can give any advice for a bride, it would be to hire Kaeli and her team. Throughout the process, she was my soundboard to bounce off ideas, told me when something would ruin our flow, and overall, my friend. People will tell you nobody will care more about your wedding than you do....but they probably didn't have Kaeli & Luna Soiree as their planner.
The folks at Luna Soiree are precisely the people you can trust to make your wedding amazing. Kaeli and her team brought experience, attention to detail, and a wealth of knowledge to our experience-- not to mention being great fun to work with! We got recommendations for various awesome vendors and their performances were coordinated masterfully on the day of the wedding. 6/5 stars.
The best advice I was given was to hire a Wedding Planner. I hired them 3 weeks before the wedding and it made me and our Wedding flow so much smoother. I enjoyed every minute of it because of Kaeli and Micayla. Even the perfect timing of the downpour just as I was about to walk down the aisle could not put a damper on a thing, They rounded everyone to the Ballroom in record time and it will be a memory we can laugh about 50 years later. Thanks again for letting me keep my sanity and truly enjoy our Wedding. I could not have done it without you two.

As the father of the bride, I had the pleasure of working with Kaeli and witness the grace and skill that she brought to my daughter's wedding. It was a day to remember for all who attended. Kaeli's secret is that she took the time to listen and learn about the bride as well as the families involved. Then she set about to bring an understated elegance and beauty to Esther's wedding. While doing so, she ran the affair with professional skill that made it all look effortless. While we all know it's not, her smiling command of the wedding day and sensitive attention to detail gave all who attended a golden and unforgettable day.

Luna Soiree made our dreams into a reality. We described our vision and Kaeli and McCaela carried it out to perfection while accounting for all the details. Their insight and expertise were invaluable as we made decisions together to create a once-in- a-lifetime experience for us and our family, and when the day of the event came around we were able to focus on being present and feeling all the good feels.
We were selective with our choice of planners and interviewed more than one. Our desire to work with someone who was LGBT-affirming and inclusive was paramount, and any worry we had about finding vendors who were also inclusive were put to rest when Kaeli found us a selection of professionals who were not only totally on-board with our Big Fat Greek Lesbian Wedding but also really talented! We highly recommend booking them to bring together all the details and helping to orchestrate the best day of both of our lives.
I have hired Luna Soiree events twice for my children’s graduation parties. They were both professional and knowledgeable in helping me host my events. Kaeli and her staff went above and beyond to make my children’s graduation parties a wonderful for both them and the many guests in attendance. I will definitely be hiring them again to help me host my next big party!
We gave Luna Soiree the unique task of planning & coordinating the reception in an venue that was quite literally under-construction. Kaeli linked us up with floral, food, chair, and table vendors that matched our palette & vision wonderfully. She provided valuable feedback on timeline, when we should be getting invites out, when we should be booking transportation, and worked with us to ensure this all went smoothly. Her ability to secure vendor pricing on some items that we thought would be out of our budget really helped create the space we were hoping for.
The week leading up to the big day we were informed by the venue, whose construction schedule had slipped, of issue after issue, the lights aren't in, the elevator can't be used for delivery, bathroom partitions did not come in correctly. Kaeli & team rolled with every punch, coordinating lighting, movers, and vendors to ready the space for the big day. In 24 hours her team had transformed the space into exactly what we were hoping for. A ton of effort went into the final days, but it was really worth it.
Kaeli & her team's day-of service was also exceptional, and they really alleviated the stress of paying vendors and coordinating final details.
Overall our experience with Kaeli was great. She coordinated all of our vendors for the day of, helped us find an amazing florist, and did a great job of collecting personal items at the venue and getting them to the right hotel room after. She also coordinated the rehearsal which was very helpful as many had not been to the venue before. I would recommend her for coordinating your special day!

If I could describe Kaeli and her team in 3 words: PEACE OF MIND. Luna Soirée did a magnificent job from start to finish, making our day smooth, effortless and unforgettable.
Kaeli/LSE was instrumental in helping us build a vision, bring in vendors that would fulfill that vision and facilitating delivery on everything that was promised. Her guidance on florals in particular was life-(and money) saving. I gave her my vision and budget and she negotiated to get exactly what I wanted without spending the insane floral costs that some vendors proposed...I would have been completely clueless without her. Such a relief. From her quick decision-making, to giving candid feedback on some of our whackier thoughts, to negotiating with vendors and using her contacts to fill in the blanks, Kaeli literally was the glue that held our wonderful weekend together with dazzle.
Kaeli is everything you want in a wedding planner. Her patience, grace and relentless energy to pull off so many things at once (all with a smile on her face) was truly a marvel. She took charge when necessary and provided the much needed guidance to a bride who is eager to please all her guests! Knowing that she was in control the day of our wedding gave me (us) such incredible peace of mind, so I was able to enjoy the morning with much excitement and anticipation and did NOT have to be the point person for the many vendors trying to pull off a “glitch free” celebration. That stress-free morning alone was worth the value, and I encourage all brides to make the investment (for your sanity :)
Looking back, it was absolutely the best hire we made, which is no small compliment considering the team Kaeli helped us assemble.
We had a great experience with Luna Soiree. They were organized and responsive throughout the process. It was reassuring the day of to know that a team of skilled professionals were looking out for all of the details. Thank you, Luna Soiree!
Working with Luna Soiree could have been a better experience for me. Communication and time management were subpar throughout the planning process. Kaeli wash helpful at times, but also unhelpful (and a bit abrasive) at times. In the end, the wedding operated smoothly, but I expected for a more pleasant and satisfying experience.
Kaeli and her team were so wonderful to work with! As someone who has an incredibly busy schedule, I knew I would not be able to execute the wedding of my dreams without some extra help and guidance. Kaeli listened so well to all of our requests and had even more incredible ideas that made our wedding day even better than we could have imagined. Despite the weather deciding to pour several hours before our outdoor ceremony, I was not worried in the slightest because Kaeli had everything taken care of. It was so wonderful to literally not worry about a thing on our wedding day and instead simply enjoy the time with family and friends. I recommend Luna Soiree to all couples who want their wedding day to turn out as close to perfect as possible!
Kaeli and her team were so wonderful - there aren't enough words to describe how grateful we are for their help! Kaeli understood my Type A personality needs and was able to help fill in the gaps with details I never would have thought of. On the day of our wedding I was so happy to relinquish control to Kaeli and her team and they did not disappoint! The day went off without a hitch and I could not have asked for better! If I had to do it all again, the first thing I would do is call Kaeli!
AMAZING! Kaeli has the amazing ability to understand what personal touches are important to you/make your wedding unique while helping you find the vendors to make your vision come to life. She has amazing ideas and great advice but never pushes you to feel "cookie cutter." She is committed to making your wedding unique and personal for the couple.
The amount of work that the Luna Soiree did on the day of the wedding was incredible. This allowed my family and I to enjoy the day without the hassle of organizing vendor schedules or coordinating deliveries.
After many years of wedding planning, Kaeli has established a great relationship with vendors in the industry. She gave INCREDIBLE suggestions for hair, makeup, stationary, floral, valet (the list goes on.) I completely trust her advice and could not recommend working with Luna Soiree more highly.
Kaeli and her team made our wedding day one my friends and family are still talking about! Kaeli jumped in towards the end of our process to help coordinate and execute our wedding. She was extremely helpful in helping us get the best service out of our vendors. She had ideas I never even thought of that saved us money and got us more than we were expecting. She executed our rehearsal dinner with so little direction and it turned out even better than anyone could have expected. She and her team made our wedding day so easy that we actually were able to enjoy the day. She had a huge task in front of her as she was coordinating and setting up our entire venue and taking care of us at the same time. What she and her team did was beyond beautiful and made our dream night come to life! I couldn’t have done it without her. If you are seeking someone who will really take care of you and execute the wedding you’ve been pinning and dreaming up, Luna Soiree is it. Thank you so much Luna Soiree! Our wedding was AMAZING!
Kaeli and her team are absolutely amazing. As my day of coordinator she took care of me, my guests, the other vendors and the staff at the church. She came to the church at my rehearsal and immediately I felt calm, she took control of the situation with the big personalities in the room but made sure everyone was happy. The wedding day went so smoothly, I'm not sure what may have happened behind the scenes because Kaeli took care of everything! All of the little details we discussed were taken care of. A truly impressive feat considering I had 4 venues (church, ballroom 1, ballroom 2 and a rented out bar for dancing). She made sure all of the flowers, gifts, picture frames, everything was moved with precision and set up perfectly. She even arranged for a last minute groomsmen cake cutting photo op that I had forgotten about and a quick walkthrough of the dinner decorated, which was just so special to have a quiet moment with my groom. I am sure there was chaos that went behind the scenes but Kaeli was amazing, confident, she gave advice but always really listened, knew when to just do something and when to make sure to ask more questions, undoubtedly the most valuable person involved in planning and day of coordination.
Kaeli and her team at Luna Soiree Events were outstanding! We couldn't (and probably wouldn't) have done it without them! They helped to take the stress out of our big day so that we could truly enjoy it! They really "got us" and our own little idiosyncrasies, and helped to craft our day in way that made sense for us! If you're seeking a wedding planner, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Kaeli and team!
Kaeli and her team made our wedding day absolutely seamless! She was an integral part of our planning process and referred us to some absolutely amazing vendors. We got so many compliments on the design of our wedding and Kaeli made sure every detail was executed with precision. If you want a completely stress-free and blissful wedding day, hire Luna Soirée!
I was referred to Kaeli/ Luna Soiree, by my caterer. I live in Texas, had my wedding in Michigan and was trying to make all the arrangements myself. Who was I kidding?!? I already picked out our venues, Matthaei Botanical Gardens for the ceremony and The Big House for our reception, but I had no idea what "theme" the wedding would be, or that it even needed one. I wanted a romantic look, with out being to over the top. Kaeli helped design everything from centerpieces to linens,entrance table, dessert table, etc. She communicated and worked very well with the other vendors and made sure that MY day just what I envisioned and in my budgeting . Kaeli and her team are warm, caring, organized, and know how to get things things done!
I would HIGHLY recommended hiring Luna Soiree for your wedding needs. We received the news that my father had stage 4 cancer and wasn’t given much time. We were able to book our event at the location we wanted but it was in less than 2 months. I knew we needed professional help. I reached out to Kaeli and immediately loved her energy and amazing ideas. We meet a couple of time to go over details and really felt like she and Kelsey were a part of our family. She is very responsive and good at calming a crazy bride-to-be down and has great attention to detail. When I showed up at the venue on our wedding day I couldn’t believe how beautiful her and her team made it. I am normally a very OCD person who has a hard time letting someone else take control, but I can honestly say I was absolutely relaxed the day of my wedding. She made sure everything ran smooth. She has lots of connections who were also amazing at helping make our day a little more special. She really knows what she is doing. I can’t thank them enough for not only helping make sure my husband and I had our dream wedding, but also that they pulled it off to make sure my father was able to walk me down the aisle. Having Kaeli and her team be our planners was one of the best decisions we made! I strongly suggest hiring Luna Soiree. They definitely know how to take care of their clients! Thank you Luna Soiree for everything you did for us!
Luna Soiree can execute! We had a 175 backyard wedding that went off without a hitch. The level of detail, effort and planning that Luna Soiree put into our event was above and beyond what we asked. It was truly a human fairytale and it would not have happened without Kaeli and her team. Thank you Luna Soiree, our wedding was PERFECT!
Planning a wedding in Michigan and living in California was difficult at times, but Kaeli and Emma were simply fantastic! Our meetings in person were incredibly friendly. Their knowledge of all the vendors and specifically which ones to hire based on our style eased an incredible amount of stress.
Thank you!
For the detail control freak that I tend to be, deciding to work with Kaeli Garcia and her team from Luna Soiree Events, resulted in the single best wedding decision we made. Our daughter’s wedding day showcased the exquisite attention and consideration that LSE brought into every element of the event. From our first meeting that began with an instant connection to the last moments of the wedding evening, Kaeli and her team provided expertise and creativity in design, and support and management of every detail. She absorbed the words and wishes for it to be a free feeling boho celebration of love and created an evening that overflowed with that essence.
Her professional relationships with top vendors provided not only wonderful services but also connections with people who share her love of the industry who engaged in the excitement along with us. Countless times Kaeli offered ideas for and solutions to parts of the event we would have never thought of! Her experience in the business provided us with the pleasure of knowing everything was in excellent hands and our “job” became enjoying this day to the fullest degree!
Thank you Kaeli and LSE from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Amazing service and attention to detail! I couldn't have been happier with the day of coordination service I received from Luna Soiree. Emma was great to work with and really pulled it all together for me on the big day! What a relief it was to know someone was there to make sure everything was just right. I am so glad I choose Luna Soiree to assist me on my wedding day, it was well worth it. Thank you!
Luna Soiree made the wedding process fun and the wedding day itself went so smoothly -- if there was a problem, I still don't know about it! Kaeli was very easy to contact throughout the whole process and was so helpful in answering all of the questions that would come up between vendors. She was a great resource in finding vendor options locally. I would definitely recommend a wedding planner to make the process stress free -- and I could not imagine a better choice than Luna Soiree!
Luna Soiree was amazing!! They were easy to work with and flexible with scheduling and planning. They got to know me before we even had our first meeting and I absolutely loved the work they did. I never would have made it through my wedding without them! I seriously had a stress free day and not a single issue came up all thanks to their pre-planning. They also made the rehearsal go quickly and smoothly! Their pricing is completely reasonable and worth every cent!! I would recommend their day of wedding coordinating services to any bride who wants to have their day be calm, organized and perfect!
CALM and COOL!! Seriously....brides and mothers of brides......if you want to truly enjoy the wedding day and you want the details to happen...hire Luna Soiree. They are top notch! We have done numerous events with them this year and each has been a great experience. You will not be disappointed!
I'm so thankful that I found Kaeli and her fabulous team at Luna Soiree. My wedding would not have been the same without them. I'm most grateful for Kaeli's connections in and around the Ann Arbor area. With a wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms in Dexter, I really wanted everything to be local, so I focused on finding top-notch vendors in the Ann Arbor area. Without Kaeli's connections, I would not have been able to execute the wedding of my dreams.
On my wedding day, they ran around behind the scenes all day, making sure that each place setting, menu card, and flower was placed to perfection. They worked seamlessly with all of my vendors on the day of so that all I had to do was show up, relax while drinking tea in the 18th century farmhouse, and slip into my dress before the ceremony.
Not only did my day run seamlessly, but the team went above and beyond to really make my day special. Kaeli came up with a last minute idea to use my father's 1965 Ford Mustang as an entrance car before he walked me down the aisle - it was so special and unique, and just made the wedding pop.
Kaeli and her team stayed until the end - they cleaned up and packed away all of my items without me having to lift a finger.
Throughout the entire process, I felt safe. Luna Soiree has the wedding planning down and really knows how to go that extra mile to make their brides smile on their wedding day...and for years to come thinking about the perfect memories!
Thank you thank you thank you!
SO SO SO AMAZING. Did I mention they're amazing? The best decision I made during my wedding planning, besides choosing the perfect man, was booking Luna Soiree for my wedding. I booked them for day-of coordination and a little extra help with planning and they did a stellar job. I ended up moving out of state halfway through my wedding planning so I was nervous, but Emma took over and made sure everything was perfectly in place. Her communication was clear and consistent and she took so much stress off of me. She went over all of my documents the week before the wedding and confirmed/adjusted the details as needed. The rehearsal went so smoothly because of her organization and she handled the million questions from our parents calmly and confidently. Our wedding day couldn't have been anymore perfect. She kept me calm, took care of the few small issues that arose and kept everything perfectly on schedule. When it came time to tear everything down I was so impressed with how quickly and smoothly it went because it was coordinated so well. I offered to help with clean up, etc. but Emma pretty much insisted that's what she was there for and not to worry about it, which made my evening much more relaxed. I could go on and on about how pleased I was with Luna Soiree. I almost wish I could get married again just so I could work with them again!!
We absolutely loved working with Kaeli and her staff! We have said to many friends and family members that we couldn't (and wouldn't have wanted) to do the wedding planning process without her! We had already picked our date and venue along with a few other ideas prior to meeting with Kaeli, but her recommendations for vendors really made our event. We loved every single one she suggested, they were professional, creative, and executed every detail! We have already recommended her to friends who are engaged and looking for someone to help them along the way!
Specifically, Kaeli was a joy to work with! She brings great energy to every meeting. She did a great job managing my family members who wanted to be involved and working with our crazy work schedules. We have a very big and very traditional family, and Kaeli was able to help us incorporate the right amount our personalities while remaining traditional. She was so supportive and her knowledge of the industry and attention to detail made our wedding day flawless. She helped to make last minute changes possible. She found amazing vendors at the last minute, too! People in the industry really respect her and therefore are excited to work with her and you! The week and weekend of our wedding, we were so much more relaxed knowing that Kaeli and her team had everything covered. She has a great eye for design and was able to figure out what our vision was even though I didn't really have a way to express it. We were able to truly enjoy every moment of the weekend and everything went even better than we could have expected.
We loved Kaeli and her team, I wasn't sure I really needed a coordinator and was pretty far into planning when I hired Luna Soiree so at first I was nervous about the investment. It was 100% worth it. Kaeli helped in so many ways, beforehand using her knowledge to remind me of things I needed to do, using her preferred vendors, asking simple questions that I did not know (never being married).....and then the day of. I never worried about a single thing, nobody asked me silly questions throughout the event and the evening went flawless. Once everything ended my family and I did not have to worry about any of the breakdown which honestly is not something you want to deal with at the end of the night. All of our items were neatly packed up for us to pick up the next day. It was perfect in so many ways and I have a lot to owe this team. One main thing that even stood out was when I arrived to the event Kaeli even made sure to grab me a drink. Super thoughtful and just a great experience all together.
From the time I first spoke with Kaeli until our daughter's wedding was over, I was provided with the best possible service you could ask for.
Our daughter and her now husband wanted an outdoor wedding at their home. Happy to do that, I needed some help! We interviewed other event planners but didn't get that confident feeling we needed. A friend put us in touch with Luna Soiree. After my initial phone conversation with Kaeli, I had the confidence that Luna Soiree would be able to do the job I was looking for. She and her team were always professional and personable. Even though we were a good distance from Ann Arbor, she always made it possible and practical for us to have face-to-face meetings. She and her team would ask pertinent questions and give us great advice without being controlling and letting us know that this was our event and what we wanted was most important. They left no stone unturned!!
The day of our daughter's wedding went off without a hitch. From noon until midnight is a blur to me. Luna Soiree's team knew what we wanted, where things were, what time things needed to happen, and made the day successful beyond belief!!
Many of our guests have said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. I don't know about that, but I do know that it was the wedding our daughter and son-in-law wanted and Luna Soiree made it happen!! It there is one thing I would do over again, it would be to hire the team at Luna Soiree -- the BEST money we spent!! Not only did we have a hugely successful party, but we have made some great new friends at Luna Soiree!!!
My now-husband and I work insane hours, and I knew from the moment I got engaged that I would need a full-service wedding planner. Kaeli Garcia and the Luna Soiree team assisted me in planning my wedding to perfection from day one! I can be fairly indecisive (read: paralyzed by the overwhelming number of decisions one has to make about a wedding!), and Kaeli was always present with a helpful suggestion, recommended vendor, or pro tip culled from her extensive experience in the industry. At our first meeting (my husband and I "interviewed" a few planners prior to hiring Luna Soiree), Kaeli and I just "clicked." My husband knew that she was the one for us by noting how long our first meeting was (time flew by as we were on the same wavelength and already talking fabulous details!). Kaeli and her team were ALWAYS highly professional, available, kind, and patient throughout the year we worked together. She ensured that our wedding day was executed to perfection. Kaeli has an eye for detail, is extraordinarily creative, and has a wonderful way of understanding a bride's vision even if said bride (cough cough) is unable to articulate things well herself! On our big day, I cannot count how many guests commented that our wedding was the most gorgeous, smoothly executed, warm, and inviting wedding they had EVER attended. NONE of that would have been possible without Kaeli and the Luna Soiree team. Just book her already! You will not regret your decision.
I was a bride to be planning from another state and Luna Soiree was an integral part of my planning process. Not only did they help me stay organized and on track, but they were always available for quick questions on how to execute specific things for my wedding day. They went above and beyond my expectations and on the day of they helped me stay on track with a timeline, which is super hard to do because guests will want to take pictures and talk to the bride and groom during the reception. At the end of the day I could not have had my perfect wedding without Kaeli and Randi. There were unexpected "mini fires" that happened the day before the wedding, such as the singing group who was supposed to sing canceling at the last minute and not begin able to come to the rehearsal, in addition to not calling me to confirm that they would sing for the wedding day. Before the evening was over Kaeli and Randi had a complete CD with all of the songs the group was supposed to sing burned onto a CD, in addition to providing an extra CD of wedding music for guests to be seated to. They also worked with the photographer to make sure we got this very specific wedding shot I wanted outside of Comerica Park with sparklers. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is playing a wedding and looking for someone who is dependable, organized, personable and will add a flair of elegance to your event. Anyone who attended my wedding can't stop talking about how well executed and classy the ceremony and evening was.
Luna Soiree did so much to determine the great success of my son's wedding. Kaeli Garcia's vision, resourcefulness, patience, and inventiveness were responsible for this being such an enchanting, beautiful, seamlessly executed, and completely worry-free and happy day. She oversaw not only the big things, but her attention to small details (like the brilliant addition of the pews and the Porsche bridal entrance) made all of the difference. The bride and groom had very demanding work schedules, and were able to place their complete trust in her with exceptional results. Everyone with whom I spoke was so impressed with the overall event, the sheer beauty of the setting (including details like linens, flowers, chandeliers), and how comfortable everything was. This was truly a welcoming, inclusive, warm celebration, rather than the formal event that many weddings become and that reflected the excellent choices Kaeli made, the special relationships she has with vendors, and the intricate planning she directed. I have a lot of experience with major events and know how many things could have gone wrong; I will not hesitate to recommend Luna Soiree and the vendors they used as the consummate professionals. It was a pleasure getting to experience this wonderful, wonderful family milestone with Kaeli and her team!
Kaeli and her fantastic team literally saved my wedding multiple times. I initially hired her as a day of coordinator because I didn’t want to be worried about running around on the big day… but soon I realized her capabilities and I understood I needed her for more. I was hesitant about spending more money on a planner, when I myself am a compulsive planner on day-to-day things. But quickly what I realized is that I am not a wedding planner. I didn’t have the resources or the knowledge despite my OCD tendencies. Luna Soiree kept things under control even when unforeseen crisis after unforeseen crisis occurred. Without a question in my mind, hiring Kaeli is the best investment you can possibly make. I have 9 months of examples on how this team is lifesaving, but here’s just one:
It’s the Monday before my wedding and I am waiting for my calligraphy package to arrive (2 day shipment, expected delivery is today). I ordered escort cards, table numbers, and signs for throughout the venue. I am tracking the package and waiting anxiously for its arrival. Wednesday, I start getting more nervous, and then I am relieved to see the shipment is in a nearby city in Michigan. No delivery on Wednesday. No delivery on Thursday. I start panicking. Friday morning I see that my shipment was sent BACK to Minnesota. It’s the day of my rehearsal and I have a thousand other things to be thinking about. I was crying to hard to even call Kaeli, so my sister did on speakerphone. Kaeli said, “I will take care of it. Jenny has nothing to worry about. It’s my burden to bear. I will take care of it.” I knew she would. Kaeli called the post office trying to track down the shipment, and in case it didn’t arrive, started working on making new escort cards and table numbers. Come to find out, my calligrapher used an old box with an old sticker. The scanner recognized the old sticker and was sending the package back and forth between Michigan and Minnesota. No one was able to intercept the package in time. Kaeli’s team literally spent the next 24 hours creating new escort cards, table numbers, and signs that matched the ones missing. I can’t tell you the amount of relief I felt, knowing that this incredible team was on top of it.
In addition to being a phenomenal planner and crisis manager, Kaeli is also incredibly motivating and an inspiring woman. She has grown to be a life-long friend and a life mentor. She is talented, smart, kind, strong, and has great taste. If this isn’t enough… lets talk money. I didn’t realize that I would save a TON of money by using Kaeli. I received major discounts from many vendors just for mentioning I was working with Luna Soiree. Kaeli helped me negotiate prices and contracts on just about everything, even when I didn’t think they were overpriced.
I cannot be more passionate about this team. Please do yourself a favor and get her involved in your wedding. You won’t be disappointed!!
I am an extremely busy working professional and as I was trying to nail down details for my wedding, I realized there was no way I could do it alone. I was put in touch with Kaeli from Luna Soiree and from the moment we met, I had a great feeling she would do a wonderful job. I went for the full service package – and it was definitely worth it! We had already booked our venue, but there were so many other details that Kaeli and her team were able to provide referrals for. We had an amazing DJ, florist, photographer, linen rental, bakery, dress tailor, etc. – you name it! She was also able to negotiate contracts for us and get us great deals though her contacts. The best part for me, was not having to contact vendors and deal with things during business hours, when I just didn’t have the ability. I can’t even begin to include everything that her team took care of for me, but they were there every step of the way to make sure every detail was taken care of!
On the day of, I didn’t have to worry about a thing – which was amazing! I didn’t want myself or any family members to feel like they had any other job the day of, besides getting themselves ready, taking pictures, and enjoying the festivities of the day. Kaeli and Randi took care of everything from set up to tear down, making sure everything went off without a hitch! And if something didn’t go as planned, I had no idea. Unfortunately our venue was not very accommodating during the process and day of, but Kaeli and her team, took it in stride and worked with them to the best of their ability. It wasn’t until after the wedding that I found out the venue wasn’t being cooperative, so it was nice to have them take care of any issues that arose…. Especially when we ran out of alcohol (we were allowed to bring in our own). Her team went right out, got more, and our guests had no idea there had ever been a shortage. Long story short, I would not hesitate to hire Kaeli and her team again if I had to do it all over! Whether you go for full service, day of, or anywhere in between – you can’t go wrong with Luna Soiree!
So, a day of coordinator for our wedding was not something we planned to have, but they were totally worth it! At our initial meeting, Kaeli worked with us to find a package that would work with what we were looking for. She was always quick to respond to emails and easy to get in contact with. She sent us a minute by minute detailed day of list which was wonderful to have. Kaeli and Randi were our day of coordinators and were very on top of all that had to get done. They made our wedding very stress-free for my now husband and I, which is exactly what we were looking for. I highly suggest hiring Luna Soiree to all brides.
We decided to hire Kaeli and Luna Soiree when our DIY wedding was becoming too much for us to handle on our own. We opted for their day of wedding coordination, which included multiple meetings leading up to our wedding, rehearsal help, and all the set up and tear down on the day of the wedding. Kaeli also helped with linen, chair, tent rentals, and so much more.
We really could not have done everything we envisioned without the help of Luna Soiree. This was by far the best money we spent! Kaeli is such a sweetheart and her expertise and attention to detail made for a perfect day! We highly recommend hiring Luna Soiree. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing and stress free!
Kaeli Garcia (of Luna Soiree) is an amazing, fabulous, remarkable, stunning and extremely talented woman! She and her Luna Soiree team were absolutely extraordinary and made our wedding PERFECT! Kaeli worked with us to create a contract that was specific to our wants, so we could use her services exactly where we needed them most. She helped find all of our vendors and negotiate our contracts, saving us money and time. Every vendor, from the venue to the florals to the dress tailor, etc. were all AMAZING. We met throughout the months leading up to the wedding multiple times and kept in contact via e-mail and text. She fit our style to a T and created a cohesive, rustic, vintage, elegant atmosphere at Cottonwood Barn. Kaeli went above and beyond our expectations. The day of, she took care of everything --- set up, vendor confirmations, breaking down everything, making sure our guests were enjoying themselves, and every other little detail that is involved in such an elaborate event. As a bride, all I had to worry about was saying 'I do' and not spilling anything on my dress (oops, but she helped take care of that, too). We received compliments from every one of our guests about how perfect, beautiful, and fun our wedding was, thanks to Luna Soiree of course! If there is one piece of advice I will give to any bride, it is to hire a wedding planner and specifically to GO WITH LUNA SOIREE!!!!
Kaeli was fantastic to work with. We found her website, among others, and she was by far the quickest to respond to our initial email. She has a great personality and worked with us to create a package that fit our needs. Our venue did not include any vendors and Kaeli gave excellent recommendations to local vendors in Ann Arbor. We were having a hard time finding a DJ in our price range and Kaeli was able to put us in touch with someone who offered great pricing for our wedding. She also handled the rentals for linens and chairs, etc. so I didn't even have to think about those details! The day-of coordination was extremely helpful. Kaeli and her team took care of everything and kept things running smoothly throughout the day. I didn't have to worry about any set-up or tear-down, and everything looked beautiful! So many little details go into planning your wedding and Kaeli was there to coordinate it all, and organize things I didn't even know would come up.
