Luna Soiree Events

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!

o 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!

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!

ocess was wonderful because Kaeli has mastered the art of creating a beautiful event while being ever mindful and diligent about the budget.

fessional 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!

r “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.

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.

ed, 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!

ith those she works with, I highly highly recommend her. Kaeli is a real expert at her trade.

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.

ur 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.

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!

hs 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.

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.

f 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. Julie and Rick

o 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. david barrett

tise 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.

ove 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!

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.

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!

i/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.

re looking out for all of the details. Thank you, Luna Soiree!

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.

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!

ill 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!

e 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.

. 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!

arsal 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.

t 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!

pliments 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!

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!

ent 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!

eyond 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!

wledge of all the vendors and specifically which ones to hire based on our style eased an incredible amount of stress. Thank you!

aughter’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!!! Marsha and Bill Hofmann

ed 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!

ut 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!

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!

h! We have done numerous events with them this year and each has been a great experience. You will not be disappointed!

nd 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!

oked 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!!

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.

t 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.
