Absolutely love at first sight. I met with Michelle the morning after I got engaged, and from that…read moremoment on she guided us through every step leading up to the big day--and even beyond, tying up every last loose end with total ease. I went into wedding planning fully aware that I didn't know what I didn't know. I had no clear vision for colors or décor, but Michelle took the time to truly get to know us. She asked thoughtful questions, offered smart suggestions, and helped shape a wedding weekend that felt unique, intentional, and perfectly "us." It's no surprise Michelle has established herself as the best of the best in this industry. Not only does she have incredible relationships with top‑tier vendors, but you can tell they genuinely love working with her. She helped us navigate tricky communication moments, advocated for us in contract details we never would've caught, and even secured a few discounts simply because vendors were so grateful to have another one of her couples. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She double‑ and triple‑checked every chair number, every linen measurement, every tiny timeline moment. She caught typos on ceremony programs, swapped out a drape because it wasn't the exact right shade of green, and thought through our day in 15‑second increments. Nothing slipped past her. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was always available. She felt like immediate family--our group text was constantly buzzing with updates, questions, weather checks, and pep talks. I truly don't know how anyone plans a wedding without a full‑time planner, and I especially don't know how we would've done it with anyone other than Michelle. She's experienced, connected, intuitive, and has that rare eye that just gets it. I could not recommend her more.

Michelle's experience in the industry is something so admirable. And that's why she is so so so amazing at what she does. Every wedding she has planned is different. She makes sure that the wedding is unique to each and every couple. She makes sure it is their own. Michelle made the wedding planning process so much FUN!!! Man we had a blast. She put in countless hours to make sure NOTHING was missed and no detail was not thought through completely. I cannot thank Michelle and the Events by Elle team enough for making our dreams a reality. It was honestly more than I EVER could have dreamed of. It was the best day of our lives!!! We love you Michelle!!! - Sydney & Jared Gruender

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.

It still boggles my mind there are so many negative comments on here. Maybe it rings true that the…read morepeople who have bad experiences are the loudest? Nolte's was the fourth bridal place I went to in KC. I'm a pretty modern bride and from the street, I was worried Nolte's was too traditional for me. I was wrong. I was lucky enough to have Michael Nolte be my gown consultant and he is incredibly charming and great at what he does. He even got us in 20 minutes early when our other appointment ended early. There are little details Michael will notice that literally no other gown person in the area will. He asked me to take my watch off, he observed my engagement ring to see what kind of style I'd be looking for, he made sure I saw what I would look like from every angle, and he even managed to find a dress that was an exact combination of the two dresses I liked the most. I ultimately bought the dress the same day and got 15% off for purchasing it then - a huge bonus that allowed me to get a veil from there too. The room you try dresses on in is also HUGE and definitely the biggest in the area. They don't allow you to take photos because Michael says you'll dwell on it and ultimately end up either hating your dress or your body. This is TRUE and I'm glad I don't have a photo of it!

Sandy reached out to me in a timely manner and gave me all the information I needed to help make my decision. I placed my deposit and she communicated with me before and after the party with all my questions I had. She has great customer service and pricing options available depending on what your party needs may be. I know she has done events both large and small. She arrived early to set up and even cleaned up after she packed up her items. Our guests all loved the backdrop and props provided by Sandy. They had fun being serious and silly taking photos with the graduation boy and even without! She even took the time to make sure the graduation parents got a photo during the party. I loved that she included a photo book of the photos for us to keep as well as a flash drive. She even took her own photos during to share with me. I will definitely be sharing her business with others. I also will use her again in 3 years when my last one graduates. She helped eliminate the stress of making sure that I had photo memories while making memories at our event. Thank you Sandy! I look forward to working with you again!
