I can’t say enough good things about Camrynn and her team. She was there every step of the way and helped make all of my wedding day dreams come true. We had a lot of wrenches thrown on our wedding weekend and it was no match for the confidence, ease and commitment Camrynn had for our entire weekend. I would have never survived without her on our side. Having her there made me feel like no matter what happened, she was going to handle it and make sure my day went as smooth as possible and turned out the way I had always hoped. There are not enough words or thanks to give to these girls. They are everything; gorgeous, professional, hardworking, kind and seriously everything you could ever want in a vendor. They were making sure my husband and I were well taken care of in every aspect, even making sure we got some of our dessert knowing how busy we would get in the night! I would recommend them time and time again. I am so grateful and glad we decided to use them for our wedding. If you’re considering, say yes!!!
Our experience working with Yours Truly Events highlighted several challenges that impacted both our team and the client.
1. Event Layout: The layout was not conducive to an active dance floor, which diminished guest engagement. Collaborative planning could have addressed this.
2. Vendor Collaboration: There was a lack of support for our role, with changes to agreed-upon responsibilities and side discussions with staff that bypassed our contract. This created confusion and hindered execution.
3. Unnecessary Fees: When a key was lost in the venue elevator shaft, resulting in unavoidable load-out delays, the planner insisted we pay additional fees. This lack of flexibility was disappointing and inconsistent with the teamwork we expect in the industry.
We hope this feedback helps Yours Truly Events improve vendor collaboration and client advocacy in the future.

Camrynn and her team, Yours Truly Weddings and Events, were the best investment in our wedding day. I chose the partial planning services and the level of service Camrynn provided was outstanding. Providing recommendations and suggestions to really pull all of our ideas together making everything cohesive. Our vision came together better than I could have ever imagined. The two weeks leading up to the ceremony Camrynn reached out to all of the vendors, confirming when they needed to be onsite. Additionally, everything from the rehearsal to the wedding day went so smoothly. As small issues arose, they were handled by the Yours Truly team, alleviating so much stress. Members of our bridal party mentioned that it was the most enjoyable wedding they’ve been a part of because there was nothing for them to worry about - they thought Camrynn and team were the best!
I highly recommend Yours Truly Weddings and Events, they are beyond worth the investment. Camrynn and team, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to giving us the best day!
We absolutely loved working with Yours Truly Weddings & Events! Camrynn was a delight! She truly made our vision for the perfect wedding come to life. Camrynn is a great communicator. She was always quick to answer emails and any questions we had. She was a huge help with keeping us on track during the planning process and provided us with excellent recommendations for vendors. Camrynn is truly a talented woman! If there was something we wanted for our wedding and we couldn’t find it, she could! Camrynn and her team were such a big help and did so much to make our day so beautiful. Camrynn also made a ton of day of signage for us that was absolutely beautiful! Camrynn is so sweet and we loved working with her. We are so grateful for Yours Truly. They made our wedding perfect, and we couldn’t have done it without them!!
Having Camryn and her assistant with us through the planning process and the day of was truly game changing!!! We couldn’t have had a smoother wedding day without her guidance through it all. If we could redo the day over we would 100% hire Yours Truly and would recommend Camryn and her crew to any brides to be — we can’t thank her enough for all the help she was on our wedding day!!!
We hired Yours Truly for month of coordinating. Camrynn attended our meeting with our venue and also met with us a few times before the wedding. It was helpful having someone check in with you and make sure things were going well! We had Camrynn and Rola coordinating our wedding day. They set up and tore down all our decor and loaded it into our vehicles. We were able to drive off right after the wedding and not have to worry! Something that makes Yours Truly unique to other wedding planners is their personalized care. They helped me carry my dress and food when I was trying to sit back down for dinner. This was something they did not have to do but they did out of the kindness of their hearts. Our day was beautiful and went smoothly. Thank you so much Camrynn and Rola!
Yours Truly Wedding and Events was the best investment I made on my wedding day! Camrynn and her team made my vision come to life. My husband and I had some very specific requests with certain decor pieces and she delivered in every way. Camrynn has an eye for design too, giving her advice when I asked for it so I felt confident we were making the right decisions. I hired Yours Truly as a partial planner, so they also helped with vendor communication, timeline prep, and day of coordination. When I say there was no stress on my wedding day, I really mean it. And it’s only because Yours Truly handled everything that came their way calmly and efficiently. Hot, windy weather forced some last second changes to decor/florals but Yours Truly problem solved it all so I didn’t have to worry one bit. And it still looked absolutely perfect! They also went above and beyond squashing any potential problems by politely and professionally keeping some family on task and in line. :) I also should mention I live in Arizona so I was planning from far away, but Camrynn made it easy scheduling any vendor meetings, etc. around my time zone and/or trips back to Iowa. Yours Truly was everything I hoped for and more when it came to wedding planning. Seriously book them. I promise you won’t regret it.
Camrynn isa wonderful wedding planner. She brought my wedding vision to life by connecting me to great vendors and working out all the details for a flawless event.
Best investment for your wedding!! Camrynn and her team made my wedding planning and day of seamless and she took so much of the stress off my plate because she thinks of absolutely everything! She is extremely organized, professional, and kind! She communicated with all of my vendors and kept everyone on the same page, provided me with resources, had great recommendations, and answered all my questions in a timely fashion. I cannot recommend her enough for your wedding! My guests even commented on how smoothly everything ran. I will be telling every engaged couple I know about yours truly :)
Yours Truly Weddings and Events exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From helping ease out all details before the big day to the run through at rehearsal to the setup and time keeping on our wedding day. We always felt like we were in amazing hands and didn't have to worry about anything other than getting ready. Would recommend again and again on repeat!
After the first phone call, we knew Camrynn would be awesome to work with. She (& her team!) were so patient, friendly and answered any and all questions with kindness. They offered advice and suggestions as needed but also let us run with our ideas and made it all happen! Simply the best and super fair prices too! If you’re thinking about booking, just do it!!
Camrynn is so talented at what she does. Her communication with me was always so quick and professional and I really appreciated her patience with myself and the wedding. She was extremely quick on her feet on my rehearsal day when things needed to be changed or adjusted. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing wedding planning services in the Iowa/Missouri area.
Camrynn and her team did such an amazing job helping us prepare for our wedding and made the day go seamlessly. With their help, we were able to have a stress free wedding day. Camrynn and her team do so much behind the scenes, we are so grateful for all of their help!
Camrynn was a HUGE help from start to finish! She thought of every last detail and helped the day go smoothly! I highly recommend her to have a stress free day!
I cannot say enough good things about Camrynn!! She is so knowledgeable and a complete pro. I couldn't have survived my wedding day without her. It went smoother than I could have ever imagined all because of her. She truly is the best!!!
Yours Truly was absolutely amazing! Camrynn was always right there when I needed her not only on my special day but throughout the whole planning process! Camrynn was willing to drive to all of my meetings with vendors even though it was quite the drive for her! She communicated very well with all of my other vendors and was always on top of things! Most importantly, she will assure you everything is in place when you're stressing the most!
Idk if you are like me but I am BUSY BUSY BUSY!! I knew when I got engaged that I was NOT going to be able to do what I had envisioned for my perfect day with the schedule that I have…SOOOO…I looked for a wedding planner!!
I searched the Internet for someone who fit my style and wouldn’t break the bank! I thank the Lord above, that I found Camrynn @yourstruly wedding and events!! She is truly a genius at what she does and her company is top notch! I simply sent her pictures from my Pinterest board, and they came to life because she did all the legwork! This woman is remarkable and all through the process of my long engagement She was there with me, every step of the way! From the flowers to the venue to bringing umbrellas on the day of my wedding just in case it rained, she was there for everything! She even had a baby a month before the wedding and was always available! That is service!
Thank you, Camrynn for making my day absolutely perfect and worry free! You seriously thought of everything! I would not have had the day I had without you! I cannot recommend you enough!
Camrynn is truly a pleasure to work with! She is experienced and a pro at handling all the little details to make your big day go smoothly.
Camrynn did an amazing job helping me plan for my big day. I showed her my Pinterest board and she made it come to life! I couldn't ask for a better planner, designer, and crew. We had a lot of compliments from family and guest how well her and her associates were very organized and helpful the day of. I would highly recommend her!
Camrynn and her team are THE BEST. They were a saving grace throughout the planning process. From being in the know about the latest venues opening, to recommending the right vendors for us, Camrynn and her team truly made the wedding planning process, and our big day, spectacular! Camrynn is so put together and easy to work with, I recommend her and her team for all your event planning needs.
Camrynn was absolutely amazing to work with. She was incredibly organized and creative and made my dream wedding a reality. She is also SUPER fun to work with :)
I want to say thank you so much to Camrynn and her team at Yours Truly Weddings & Events! This was the best and most important investment that we made for our wedding! I had never been in a wedding or had gone through the wedding planning process, so we went ahead and invested in getting a wedding planner, far in advance before our big day! I interviewed at least four different wedding planners, and my husband, my mom, and I immediately knew we wanted to work with Camrynn after having an initial meeting and getting to know what her business offered. Camrynn gave us a wedding service proposal and we chose the Holy Matrimony Package, again the best decision we could have made. Camrynn was AMAZING to work with. I immediately felt so comfortable and knew I would love working with her. She made the entire wedding planning process effortless not only for me, but also for my mom too! She handled all communication with our vendors, joined in meetings with vendors, and handled all their questions and concerns. She made sure everyone was on the same page for the timeline, addressed any concerns prior to the rehearsal and day of the wedding. She was incredibly professional, FUN, classy, attentive, and made my vision come to life on my wedding day. I would recommend Camrynn and her team at Yours Truly Weddings & Events to anyone needing a wedding or event planner. Solid 10/10 stars all the way around from me! She answered any questions that my mom, my family, and I had. Her communication was excellent, especially because I lived a couple hours away from the Des Moines area. When I was not able to make it in person, we would have video calls to check in regularly. She is very accommodating and patient when I needed something or was still making decisions for my big day. Camrynn and her team made our wedding flawless, and it was the most perfect day of our lives. Everything went so smooth, this was truly a dream come true. I can't say enough positive things about her, and I have gained a good friend throughout my time working with Camrynn! Please strongly consider working with Camrynn and her team for your wedding or big event!!!!
Yours truly made my daughters wedding absolutely flawless. Camrynn was always available and always returned calls. Camrynn had excellent ideas and the wedding went so well with out one flaw. Camrynn is very knowlegable of vendors and provided some excellent recommendations. I would highly recommend Yours Truly Weddings and Events. Camrynn is the best.
Camrynn & her team were amazing to work with! They all went above & beyond to help us keep everything organized down to the timeline & venue set up. She kept in touch with our vendors for us to ensure everything went smoothly.
During our rehearsal we forgot a few items/some items were broken. Camrynn helped and brought her own items for us to use.
We had some last minute items the morning of our wedding that we wanted, her & her team delivered and were truly satisfied with our ceremony and reception venue.
She also went out of her way to buy cups when we ran out at the reception. We are so glad we chose to have you guys as a day of coordinator, totally worth it!
I was so worried I would be stressed the whole day but I wasn’t at all thanks to your team!
Thank you all again so much! 💕

We worked with Camrynn and Rola for our day of wedding coordinator. Honestly, I do not know how couples manage without these two! Camrynn helped us make a very detailed timeline and also helped us contact other vendors prior to our special day. Rola was their for rehearsal walkthrough as well as setting up our venue and making it all come to life! There are so many details that go into a wedding that I had no idea about and it was so nice--as a bride--to know I had a team behind me that was there for me so I could enjoy the day. Cannot thank these two enough, I really enjoyed working with them and will tell everyone I know that they need to book Yours Truly!
I had no idea what I was doing when I first got engaged in 2018 and decided I needed some help. Camrynn was amazing from the very beginning! We went through two years of delay due to Covid and she stuck by and answered every e-mail and every question I could think of. There were checklists and to-do lists to keep me on track and remind me of things I didn't even think about.
Camrynn truly made our day move smoothly. She made sure we were in all the right places at the right time. Our guests were always taken care of and shown where to go. She made sure our vendors were taken care of and everything was set up perfectly. We were able to completely relax and just enjoy ourselves during our photos, ceremony and reception. Thank you so much!!
Camrynn and team were an absolute DREAM to work with! YOU NEED THEM, I PROMISE!! They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfection. Camrynn is incredibly organized! Early in the process, she gave me AMAZING vendor recommendations and was there to answer any silly questions that I had (there were LOTS). Throughout the planning process, she sent updates, reminders and suggestions. I had a couple doozie issues come up right before the wedding all of which she HANDLED, no questions asked (and these were things that I did not consider to be within the scope of her job). My dress had a spot the day before the wedding and her team literally dropped everything to have it rush cleaned at a shop that was no where near the venue. I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am. And oh gosh…on the day of…I couldn’t have done it without her and her team. They helped set up, fold napkins, coordinated all of the vendors, made sure guests were in the right place/right time, and executed every detail flawlessly. Camrynn also has impeccable style which made everything less stressful because she totally understood the vision! 11/10 rating from us.
I loved working with Camrynn! As the first of family to get married, I had very little point of reference. My husband is amazing but had little to do with the planning process. Also, we were planning everything remotely. Therefore, Camrynn was really my go-to for all things wedding related! Although I only signed up for the 30 day coordinator service, Camrynn went above and beyond to answer all my questions (usually via a panicked email) from the moment I booked her. She was super professional and helpful, especially when it came to creating a schedule for the day of. We were on a zoom call for about 3 hours going through every detail and answering all of my questions and possible scenarios. I needed that and she delivered! She reccomended vendors to me, which was super helpful not being in the area, and was a great starting point to get quotes. She also helped avoid a couple of crisis the day of the wedding, like running to buy some last minute champagne and working with vendors the day of to make sure everything arrived smoothly! This lady is wonderful and will only go up from here! I 100% recommend working with Cam. Thanks again!! ❤
We cannot say enough good things about Camrynn! We decided we needed some assistance for our "day of" planning and she went above and beyond for us in all aspects. From the start she was a calming presence during the craziness of wedding planning and offered her support and guidance throughout all of it. She took care of every detail, some I hadn't even thought of! As the bride, I didn't feel an ounce of stress on the day of my wedding because I knew Camrynn was there. 10/10 recommend Camrynn with Yours Truly Wedding & Events.
Camrynn I can’t thank you enough for all that you did. Ladies if you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, just do it! Camrynn and Rola were absolutely amazing they were a big help the day of the wedding. They took care of all the little things I didn’t think of and helped setup/tear down. The days leading up to the wedding Camrynn made my timeline and emailed all my vendors for me so I didn’t have to, made sure everyone knew were to go and park. She and Rola also kept my daughter entertained during the early afternoon of the wedding lol. She is really just a genuine good person, and I can’t thank her enough.
We cannot say enough great things about Yours Truly Wedding & Events. Camrynn helped take care of things for us from day one-vendors, communication with vendors, reviewing contracts, and giving advice. Neither of us have been married before so we were both lost as to what to do and where to start. She was great with checking in, answered questions quickly, and eased our concerns about the wedding. Whenever we would start to get to the point of not knowing what to do next it seemed like Camryn was checking in that next day and getting us back on track. She was very personable and down to earth and we never felt bad or silly asking questions. When we met with her in person for the first time, it was so easy!! She had us set up on what we needed and needed to do and helped us make a plan. Her assistant was present with her on the day of and we don’t think we could’ve gotten through the day as easily as we did without them. They knew who had to be in certain places and what time, she managed communications with the vendors, and they were always in a positive mood when anyone, whether us or guests, had questions. They were great with asking “how are you doing?” or “what do you need?” They even moved things between the ceremony and reception times, which made it possible for us to just enjoy our day! Yours Truly Wedding & Events was hands down one of the best decisions for our wedding. When using Camrynn’s services, you don’t get just someone who knows what they’re doing, you get someone who listens to you, provides feedback with ideas and plans, and really wants to see you enjoy your special day and does all she can to help.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, Camrynn is the one! She was so professional, organized & helpful from the the littlest questions/details to the big ones. Our group needed some guidance & she had a great sense of humor to work with us! Highly recommend Yours Truly.
Yours Truly Wedding & Events was very helpful with the wedding planning process. The wedding planner was very nice, friendly, and approachable when we needed to ask questions about wedding planning. Yours Truly Wedding & Events had great ideas and was very supportive through the wedding planning process. It was so helpful to have another person there on my wedding day that knew what was going on and what vendors would be coming and going tp certain places the day of.
I cannot say enough good things about Camrynn and Yours Truly Weddings & Events. We chose to work with Camrynn prior to COVID and we could not be more thankful to have had her as a part of our team. Through it all, she kept us as calm and informed as possible with all of the policy changes, and made us feel supported through the entire process.
She kept in close contact with all of our vendors and ensured things would go as smooth as possible while asking for minimal effort from both myself and the groom. And when there was a last minute issue with the dress that required me to leave the rehearsal and set up, she corralled our wild bunch and decorated the venue and reception better than the original vision itself.
We quite literally could not have done it without her and her trusty assistant.
Camrynn with Yours Truly Wedding & Events was great! Planning a wedding during COVID was not easy and Camrynn was more than willing to do anything to make it less stressful for me! She was very timely, organized, and detail oriented which made planning and the day of the event go very smoothly! I would highly recommend her! :)
Hiring Yours Truly and working with Camrynn has made wedding planning for this MOTB seem effortless! We tried going it on our own but realized we needed advice and direction. We’ve received both From Yours Truly! Highly recommend this company as their staff treats you like family.
