First and foremost, our wedding turned out to be amazing and a complete success. We were very happy with the way the day turned out from the morning to the wee hours of the evening. Our guests have told us that they were blown away and were thankful to have attended such a glamorous, fun and memorable event. Now all of this couldn't of been possible without Kelsey and her team at Kelsey Events.
From our first encounter with her, we knew she had the confidence and drive to help us with our big day, so we hired her! She carefully helped us out months before our wedding with the planning and process. We had the chance to meet a couple of times in person before the wedding and were always able to contact her through email, phone and text. It was awesome to know when deadlines should be met to develop a timeline especially for a 300-350 guest list. As the big day grew closer, Kelsey was there during the vendor walk-thru at the reception site as a sort of ring leader to move us through the process and get everything coordinated. She also helped us out with all of the legalities and contracts that had to be completed by each vendor as well as ourselves. Kelsey even showed up at our wedding rehearsal where she didn't need to be but it was assuring for us that she wanted to know the whole scope of the big day - kudos to her! She has a thorough and detailed work ethic which enables her to be on point while keeping the bride and groom cool, calm and collected - after all, we're virgins in this realm while she's a seasoned vet!
BIG DAY!
So when the big day finally came, Kelsey and her team were able to pick up items from us for the reception site at the butt crack 'o' dawn so they could expedite the set up process. She had all of the vendors contact information to make sure that they arrived in a timely manner to do what they were hired to do while making sure the bridal party was getting ready in time for photography. Kelsey also made sure the bridal party was on time and coherent with the game plan - that meant we couldn't get drunk which was a good thing! We already wanted to party but she made sure the business of love got handled first. After the wedding ceremony, we were blown away at the look and feel of our wedding reception - all of that planning and hard work were present and it was nice to see that pie fully baked! Kelsey made sure the next series of events were on time like: introductions, first dance, speeches, cake cutting, video, etc. When guests were trying to figure out where to place the present/card if they had one for us, Kelsey not only took care of that but also made sure that when the mail box/gift area of cards were full, she emptied it out and put those gifts in a safe place making sure we would receive those at the end of the evening - one of those unexpected things you don't think about and it's a good thing too! In the wee hours of the morning, once the guests vacated the venue, Kelsey helped us clear the venue of all our personable valuables and then the night was finally over. Some people say that your wedding day goes by so fast, for us it was a longgggggg day! Ultimately Kelsey is a consummate professional and we'd recommend her ten-fold especially at The Vibiana where we held our wedding reception. We can't thank Kelsey enough for being there for us and making our memories last a lifetime.
