Kickstand events recently helped me pull off a bridal shower with @ 40 guests in the middle of Covid restrictions. Our original venue could not accommodate us so short notice we changed the location to a backyard. Courtney immediately got to work. She went on Google Maps, downloaded a picture of the back yard and did a layout plan and an inspiration plan and sent it to me in a day. She completely transformed the backyard into a beautiful venue for our shower. She handled everything, taking all the work and the stress off of me. She and an assitant were there early to make sure everything was in place and beautiful. They also stayed for the entire shower so I could enjoy (not typically the case for a party host) Courtney was a lifesaver. I could not have pulled it off without her. I will definitely call Kickstand Events to plan another event and would highly recommend them! read more

We selected Kickstand Events for a partial planning package and I can't imagine having a better wedding planning experience. We worked with Sally and always felt 10x better about the process after meeting with her. She put our minds at ease about everything from how to address our wedding invitations to how to tip our vendors. Living out of town could have made scheduling trickier, but Sally always made time for us on the weekends. Her happy personality and personal connections with most of our vendors made planning a breeze, and she took charge of coordinating with the caterers, linen rentals, DJ, photographer and more to ensure that everyone was on the right schedule and our rental numbers were accurate. The day of, there was no detail out of place. Every time I saw Sally and her team they were smiling and offering their help to us and our guests, including treating us to some plates of food and a bottle of champagne in the town car to take home. She and her team made it very easy to drop off our decorations the day before the wedding and pick them up the day after at their office downtown. Honestly it was the best day ever and we have Sally to thank for helping it go smoothly and stress-free! read more

I used Kickstand events for our wedding flowers. I wasnt happy the day of the wedding but got over it. That is, until I received our wedding proofs online. I was mortified by the job Kickstand did at our wedding. It was AWFUL! We ordered peonies for almost everything, pricey peonies, and we got scraps of peonies. So small, unopened and you can barely see them in the photos. It is terrible! I am so embarrased that my guests had to see that nonsense. Courtney was completely unprofessional in the whole post wedding debacle, I wrote her a long email discussion my unhappiness with her work and this is what I received back: Hi Sarah, Thank you for your feedback and I sincerely apologize for disappointing you in your wedding flowers. Looking back, I believe we were on different pages and we delivered what we interpreted was your vision, and for that I apologize. I hope that, regardless of the wedding flowers we delivered, that you still enjoyed the day. Best of luck to you in your marriage & new life with your husband. So apparently, according to Courtney, my vision was half done floral arrangments and flowers that looked like they were picked out of the bottom of the barrel. Kickstands contract clearly states that they will substitute flowers if they arent in good enough shape. Well they didnt. They tossed in whatever they were sent from their vendor without every contacting me. I am SO dissapointed in Kickstand events. I am for warning any future bride to not use them for florals. They are highly untrained. Stick with an actual florist in town, who I am sure would have had a backup plan to crappy flowers. Feel free to message me and Ill happily send over the photos of my awful wedding flowers that I paid $3,000 for. What a waste! read more

From our first meeting, when we received champagne and wedding planning magazines to the actual day of the event, Kickstand was an amazing partner to help pull our wedding together. Their communication is always timely and professional and they are always conscious of your budget when making suggestions for your event. They really helped take the stress out of the wedding planning process and allowed my wife and I to enjoy our engagement! We had our both ceremony and reception at the Brooklyn arts center and they were total pros all day. The space was beautiful as were the flowers that they provided. The fact that they can do both is a huge help as it's one less vendor to deal with. They were a pleasure to work with and always made us feel like our event was a priority. The day went flawlessly from our perspective and I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I hired Kickstand as the mother of the groom to help my son and his fiancee and her family with their destination wedding in North Topsail Beach on April 11, 2015. Because both the bride and groom are medical residents and rarely have any time off, and because both families live in NJ, I gave Kickstand's partial planning package services as a gift to us all. I have to say, they were amazing. We had a bit of a rough start because the planner assigned to us originally didn't respond to the bride, but an apology was offered by Sally, and a new planner was quickly assigned. There were two people there day of, and they were superb. They arrived early, stayed late, on the day of, and from the early planning stage on, they made many terrific and creative suggestions. They discussed pro's and con's and we were each so very satisfied. They were completely sensitive to my request to consult only with the bride, her mom, and the groom and they were great understanding the crazy work schedules of the bridal couple and accommodating them. read more

I thought that I was going to have a wonderful experience with these girls. Their business is young and they appeared to be in touch with details of planning a wedding. We used them strictly for the day of event coordination as well as directing the wedding. We paid $3,000 for this service. My goal in having them was to have a relaxed day, one that I was not running around trying to attend to the details of the wedding. That was definitely not the case, particularly when it came to the actual wedding and the reception. Being a new company I thought that I would write a feed back to them, but before I did this, I contacted every vendor that had been in contact with them that day to see if they had the same interpretation as I or if it was just me. Minus one, every vendor gave them a negative review citing them as unprofessional. The minister came to me and told me " no one is in charge of this wedding and you have to get it going". The caterers came to me the entire night to ask questions. I had to anticipate weather changes and move things to the venue that had been moved out of the way due to rain, but the worst was the event planners left before the wedding was over!!!!!!!!!!! In their contract it clearly stated that they would orchestrate the departure and then pack up and return items at the end of the evening. Kind of hard to do when they were not even there. Instead I stood on the stage and told guests to meet outside. Family members and the club staff ushered the bride and groom away for the send off and the florist handed out the rose petals. Then I stayed an hour afterward collecting things and hunting down a cake stand days later. A vintage cake topper was lost for good. Something that had been on my wedding cake as well as as my other daughter's. There were three of them hired and not one stayed! When I wrote them about their performance, they cited that it was too complicated and that I had not communicated completely with them. They said they turned over their responsibilities to someone at the club that failed to execute them. If I was going to have someone from the club do this, why did I pay them????? The staff from the club did an exceptional job...they should not have been picking up something I had paid them to do! I would have been totally accepting if they had owned up to their mistake, but putting the blame on me (the paying client) and the club (that did a fantastic job), was totally unacceptable. If they did not know the scope of the job they were to do, then why did they not find out FROM ME prior to the event? This group talks a great story but does NOT deliver. They are totally un professional. Do not wast your money. read more

My experience with Kickstand Events was absolutely delightful! The ladies were on top of everything and put up with all of my picky requests!! They helped make my wedding the perfect day! Not to mention how fun they were to work with! I actually had peonies at my wedding (not my husbands favorite!) and they were perfect. I couldn't imagine anyone saying anything less than fantastic. These women helped make our day unforgettable. read more

Kickstand Events. Wow! What amazing people who make up this fabulous company. I worked closely with Sally and Courtney and they made my wedding planning process easy, fun and enjoyable. I honestly do not know what I would have done without them through the entire journey and especially the day of. They met with me frequently, answered any questions I had and guided my now husband and I to the wedding of our dreams. They took care of ALL my rentals, kept all my vendors up to date, created my invitations, put together my flowers... seriously the whole package. And my flowers. To. Die. For. I heard so many wonderful comments about my flowers and am still hearing how AMAZING they were 4 months later. I was in love with my bouquet, my centerpieces, everything. Also on the day of, they brought a great team who helped the event go SO smoothly. I even had someone (or 2) pass out before I came down the aisle (rescue squads, firetrucks, the whole nine yards) and I had NO idea until after the cocktail hour! They know how to handle ANY situation that a bride & groom could come across. I could go on and on about this company. The best girls with so much talent at an unbeatable price. Kickstand Events is THE way to go for your dream wedding!!! read more
