After working with her twice, I can confidently say there is no one I would rather have by my side for such an important day. Denise is the perfect combination of warm, calm, organized and FUN. Her energy is awesome, she is so easy to work with, and she knows exactly when to be firm to keep things moving and everyone on track. She is incredibly well respected by the vendors and venues we've worked with, and you can immediately see why. She treats everyone with kindness and respect, is generous with her praise, and somehow manages a million moving pieces without ever making it feel stressful. One of the things I appreciate most about Denise is that she allows me to actually be a guest at my own party. On the day of the event, I don't think twice about a single detail because I know she has it handled. That kind of trust is priceless. She's also the person you want in your corner throughout the planning process. She'll enthusiastically run with a great idea, but she'll also calmly and respectfully steer you away from something when she knows it may not be the best decision, and she's usually right! Beyond being an incredible party planner, Denise is just a genuinely good human. She is kind, sweet, thoughtful, incredibly capable, and an absolute pleasure to be around. Tali's day simply would not have been the same without her by my side, and I'm so grateful that she has now been part of two of the most special celebrations in our family. If you are lucky enough to have Denise plan your event, you are in the very best hands. She is truly a party planner extraordinaire, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Denise took on the big job of helping me plan and design my daughter's Quinceanera and she not only put me in touch with many vendors we ended up hiring, she took care of every little detail for the party including clean up and packing everything neatly into our cars at the end of the night. Denise is the utmost professional, kind, and organized event planner you will ever come across!

From our very first meeting through our wedding day, Vannesa and her team were incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful. She was on top of every detail, handled the timeline seamlessly, and kept us completely stress free. What stood out most was how she and her team made everyone from our families to our bridal party feel so welcome and taken care of. They coordinated everything so smoothly behind the scenes that we were able to simply enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. They also brought such positive energy, connecting effortlessly with our guests and vendors, which made the celebration feel even more special. We are so grateful for Vannesa and her team's hard work, care, and kindness. It was truly a pleasure working with them, and we could not recommend Golden Hour Events more highly to anyone looking for a coordinator who will make their day flawless.

Leading up to our reception, Shumaila was very organized, easy to work with, and responsive. Communication was great throughout the entire process, and she really took the time to understand what we wanted for our event while also helping fill in any details or gaps we may have overlooked. On the day of our reception, Shumaila and her team did an outstanding job overseeing the decor, table setup, and coordinating with all of our vendors. Throughout the reception, they stayed on top of everything, from managing the flow of the event and directing guests to regularly checking in with us to make sure we were doing okay and had everything we needed. They were also very kind and professional with our guests and did a great job directing everyone in a friendly and organized way. We genuinely felt like we didn't have to worry about anything during the reception because we knew their team was handling all of the details behind the scenes. They also made sure our other vendors were taken care of, which we really appreciated. Having them there allowed us to relax and enjoy our reception without worrying about logistics.

It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony. Many thanks to Kym and K&S Events, I truly appreciate it!!

For my wedding, she set up the welcome table, cake table, and made adorable signs to direct the guests. She also assisted with floral design from the bulk flowers that I had purchased. I did not stress that day because she handled any issues that came up. I highly recommend hiring Everdream for your next wedding or party. Then 2 years later she helped me do my daughter's 2nd bday party. We rented a backdrop from her and it was perfect and on theme with Disney. She also helped with the table scape setup.
