I can't recommend Decemeber from Soirée Event Designs high enough! We were planning our wedding…read moreceremony and events on our own up until a month and a half prior to the date. As the date became closer, we started to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the details. I received Decemeber's information from a friend, and from our first interaction, she was a true professional! Because we were less than two months from our wedding, Decemeber moved to schedule our face-to-face meeting quickly. The introduction discussion was well organized and she walked me through all of our vendor details, wedding party, must-haves, etc. My fiancé and I thought we had covered all our bases, but it was obvious after our discussion that there were many other details we needed to address. Decemeber made this feel like a breeze, and immediately helped wrap up finishing touches and assembled a "day-of" timeline. She began coordinating directly with our vendors, to eliminate the stress from the groom and me. Because of all the work Soirée did up front, the day of our wedding was well executed, relaxed and most importantly fun! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about who needed to be where and when. Decemeber had all of this outlined for us. She even found a new hairstylist two weeks before the wedding, after I decided to make a last minute change! From the first phone call with Decemeber to giving her a hug at the end of our wedding reception, she made wedding planning a stress-free process and our day was executed to perfection! (And if there was a hiccup, she handled it and we never knew) On top of her professionalism, Decemeber is a joy to work with to plan a major event.

If you are planning a wedding, read this FIRST!…read more I am a high functioning OCD type of person, and when we decided to get married with only 2 and a 1/2 months notice I went into overdrive planning. We identified a location and starting tasking friends and contacting vendors within a week, but I quickly started to get overwhelmed with the amount of effort. I was trying to juggling working full time, traveling for work and planning a wedding with next to no notice when my best friend begged me to find a day-of wedding coordinator. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me out and was sad to see the lack of reviews for wedding vendors. However, I did find one review for Buffee Ann and saw I could contact her for a quote. She quickly replied and when I decided not to move forward was sweet in her response to my poor life choices. Only a few days later I changed my mind and she encouraged me to skype with her before making another bad decision. I am so glad I did! From the start Buffee was energetic and encouraging while also allowing my strong personality to dictate as much as I could of the planning process. I have to say at the end of the day, hiring Buffee to help me out was the BEST IDEA EVER! If you're planning a wedding, get help from the very start. Buffee offered suggestions for vendors after we ran into challenges with a few of ours, and we realized she would have been a savior if we had used her from day 1. She worked with our bartending service to help resolve a difficult issue and found me someone to help with my hair (which received numerous compliments). Buffee even offered to add some much needed make-up to my very ungirly self. To say she was a fairy godmother would be an understatement. If you're looking for help with planning anything, go no further. Buffee Ann will take care of you, be your cheerleader, and provide excellent suggestions for local vendors.

Our experience was amazing! Both me and my wife were so overwhelmed by the idea of trying to plan a…read morewedding. We looked into finding someone to help us but even that alone is pretty daunting. But finding Buffee and Magical Moments was a huge stroke of luck. She helped us figure out exactly what we want. It was the perfect mix of making sure we got the wedding that we specifically wanted but she also knew when we were unsure about something and she always pushed us in the right direction. We both really cannot say enough good things about Buffee. She made our wedding, something both of us always dreamed of but figured we could never have, the most amazing day of our lives. We're an LGBT couple and especially living in the midwest you never really know how people are going to be or if they'll even want to help you, but Buffee and Magical Moments made our wedding seem so important to them and made sure we found the vendors who would best serve our needs. If anyone ever asks me for advice on wedding planning I'm sending them to Magical Moments immediately.

If you want barn meets elegant chic then here's a wonderful wedding/any kind of event venue space…read more The venue is settled near one of KC's small little towns called Weston. Which I liked since it helped give it a barn chic and it's a bit of a distance from downtown KC. I came for a wedding and I really liked the venue but it wasn't a breathe taking venue since it's beside the main road coming in and out of Weston from the highway. Apparently, it's hard to get a spot to reserve for the venue and I somewhat see why.The parking area to the main venue area is a climb especially if you have heels and/ or older guests with you. Do I recommend it? Yes but I might want to look other places since I don't feel like it's unique.

This vendor is careless and responded to negative feedback with a few nasty text messages…read more When I first talked to Heather at Simply Modish she was very nice but during the planning was least helpful in that department. She did not pay much attention to my budget and gave me suggestions of the highest vendors in town. A lot of which were family or friend owned. During my rehearsal she did not do her job at all. She did not have any control of my group and I ended up running my rehearsal because she did not have much of a voice. On my wedding day I was a bit late walking down the aisle. (Around 45 mins) she came up to my suite and yelled at me to hurry up and was saying people wanted to know where I was. At this point it was barely 6:00 and that was when my wedding was supposed to start. My cousin politely asked her to stop stressing me out and told her we would come down at 6:30. I walked down from my suite at 6:40ish and when I walked down the stairs my husband was standing there! I was so upset. When we texted after that day, she told me that since me and my husband were already married she assumed I was ok with seeing him. However she never asked me if it was ok for us to see each other. After our first meeting we met at her home to discuss planning and I noticed she had a sonogram on her refrigerator. I asked her if she was pregnant and she said yes and that she would be over 8 months during my day. Which was fine but I don't think she had any intention of telling me. She stated she would hire an assistant to help her for our day since she was going to be so far along. I wanted to meet the person so I knew that they would understand my vision for the wedding. She kept telling me I couldn't meet them and other excuses. On my day I found out that her assistant was her very own sister. She basically told me in the text that it wouldn't matter who it was since she didn't charge me for them. Which was not my concern I just felt like she was hiding it. After my ceremony my guests had no idea what to do or where to go next because they never made the announcement. My wedding party had to tell them to go up to the barn for cocktail hour. Her sister in my eyes wasn't clear on all the things that was going on because she failed to have her come to rehearsal. In the end she gave me her her vision of who I was and how I was going to be which was really rude. And I admit I never told her how unhappy I was because my husband was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt by telling me that she was going to be good on our day. However she managed to upset him too because of her careless attitude. I did hug her and and tell her thank you because I wasn't going to be mean or unprofessional to her on my wedding day but she said I was wrong for being polite. The things she messed up at my wedding were not things that she could fix. To me what's done was done. I was very nice when explaining to her my issues with her as to why I gave her a bad review and she did not care! She was rude and nasty! I advise all brides to pay a little extra for a planner. She took advantage of us and we cannot get our money back. She is a liar and will cheat you. She did the least amount of work for what we paid. My venue coordinator did more for me than she ever did. The bad part is my venue was basically all inclusive and we had under 50 guests and she still managed to mess up our day! STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR!
