Kelly is an absolute dream to work with. She understood the vision of our wedding within one meeting, and was able to quickly start making our vision a reality! She has connectio...
n with the best vendors in the valley, and made sure that we got only the best! She always made sure we knew that we could reach out to her, and would make sure to set up meetings with us throughout the process. Not only was she so organized and on top of it, but she was also so attuned to our emotional needs. I felt like she had us under her wing, and would make sure to protect us and advocate for us with our vendors, and even with family dynamics when it was needed. She fit right in with our friends and family, and we cannot imagine our wedding without her. If you are wondering if you need a coordinator... YES you do, and if you are wondering who to go with, do yourself a favor and book Kelly now! I promise, you will be so glad you did! Kelly is warm, devoted to her work, organized, respected in the industry (and well connected), and makes her clients feel like her top priority. She is simply the best!

We are so grateful for Kelly with Rogue Picnic. From the moment we reached out, she made everything easy. She communicated quickly, helped us with ideas, and brought our vision to ...
life more beautifully than we imagined. She set up the most enchanting table in the redwoods for our wedding day and even took amazing care of our pups while we took photos. It felt like being supported by a friend. Truly the GOAT. Highly, highly recommend.

Kelly from Rogue Picnics was everything on our wedding day. We don't know how she pulled it all off.
She showed up with the most calming energy (which, let’s be real, is half the ...
battle on a wedding day), and just handled everything. Guests? Handled. Vendors? Handled. Timeline? Handled. Us forgetting to eat or drink water? Handled with snacks and hydration on deck. She was in 10 places at once, making sure everything ran smoothly while also making us laugh and feel super taken care of.
The whole day felt easy and seamless because of her... and that’s saying a lot for a wedding. Even when a couple of little hiccups came up like spilling drinks on the dance floor, she just swooped in, fixed it, and didn’t even let us worry about it. She made the whole thing feel effortless, like we were guests at our own wedding... and that’s the dream, right?
Kelly's a pro, a total sweetheart, and amazing to work with! We love her.

We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! Throughout the entire process, she was steady, thoughtful, and kept us moving forward with ease. She was also incredibly warm ...
and kind, making us feel supported every step of the way. Where she truly shined was on the wedding day itself - her execution was flawless. She handled every detail seamlessly so we could be fully present and soak it all in. Truly couldn’t imagine doing it without her!

We seriously cannot say enough good things about Rogue Picnics. We feel so full of love and gratitude that Kelly and Heather were part of our wedding day. They created something st...
raight out of a fairy tale—more beautiful and perfect than we ever could’ve dreamed up ourselves (I mean, just look at the pictures!!)
From the very beginning, they made everything so easy and stress-free. They planned every little detail with so much care, picked up our flowers and decorations, grabbed the food, set everything up and took it all down afterward—then even brought extra food back to our vacation home. Can we also have a moment to admire our wedding cake? (shout-out to @the_berrybar_co) Kelly’s cake recommendation was flawless, and all our guests were fighting over the last bite. Kelly also went above and beyond when it came to fixing some issues involving our dinner order. We know that so much work went on behind the scenes, and we’re just so grateful for the love and effort they poured into it all.
Kelly and Heather, you are truly some of the kindest, most thoughtful and talented people we’ve ever met. You made our celebratory dinner feel magical, intentional, and completely us. We feel so lucky we found you—and we would absolutely love to work with you again for our anniversary dinner. Thank you for making our day stress-free and unforgettable.

Kelly is such a kind and loving human being, who pours her heart and soul into every last detail. Communication was top notch and so was every detail on our wedding day. I trusted ...
her completely and it went above what I was expecting. The day went so smoothly of course there were hiccups with my family and clothing not fitting right day of but I had no idea that there were any issues! She takes it all on and makes your day as stress free as humanly possible. Our wedding and reception was set up and designed by her and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. Seriously if you are looking for a planner, day of coordinator and design then please reach out to Rogue Picnics you won’t regret it.

I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating on the table and event design with Kelly for my wedding. Kelly and I had many discussions about the designs I wanted for my vintage inspired even...
t. We started with me creating a pinterest board and after getting a feel for my style, Kelly created me a gorgeous moodboard with a fun color palette inspired by my floral selection that really elevated the space of our venue and guided me through the executing other details of design table numbers and selecting bridesmaid dresses. It was very satisfying to see all the elements come together and compliment each other. This really speaks to Kelly's attention to detail and commitment to making my wedding beautiful!
If you are not sure where to start in terms of design elements Kelly has an impressive stock of decor and materials needed, so we did not need to worry about outsourcing napkins, chargers, flameless candles or bud vases for our tablescapes. She also has many wonderful examples on her social media! I truly appreciate the variety in Kelly’s designs and how she tailors her creative process and product to her clients vision and desires (definitely feels customized/not cookie-cutter). She did a great job utilizing and arranging all the rental and personalized deco I provided, while also making sure all items were handled with care and accounted for at the end of the night.
Kelly is well versed in local vendors and really helped us out with helpful recommendations! We are an out of state couple from California so we truely appreciated her helping us select a wonderful team of vendors for our special day. She also went out of her way to pick up our printed orders and flowers for us! Kelly was also great at making sure any loose ends with vendors were addressed after the wedding. We appreciated her standing by us throughout the entirety of the process.

Our venue required a "Day of" planner so we reached out to Rogue Picnics. We had already secured a lot of the wedding vendors and details but Kelly was able to turn that all into ...
a wonderful wedding day. She provided services that we still needed and helped us put the whole show together. We would definitely recommend her for any special event. Really easy to work with, creative, and communicative. Thanks so much!

I was so happy when I found out Rogue Picnics started micro weddings. I was so stressed trying to plan a wedding and we were close to giving up. I’d seen their work before and knew...
I’d be in good hands, trusting them with our wedding. We met to customize our package and I could tell they really cared and wanted to make sure our dream wedding became reality. We just wanted to show up and enjoy our day, without all the craziness or stress and that’s exactly what we got. Our vision was beautifully executed and it was just a perfect day. We wouldn’t have changed a single thing and are so thankful to Rogue Picnics for making it so easy!
