Jazmyn was amazing from the moment we booked her as our day-of coordinator! She was available for questions while we were selecting all of our vendors and had great advice throughout our whole planning process. Most importantly, Jazmyn was essential to the execution of our wedding day! She organized all of our vendors as they came and went and did so much behind the scenes work to make sure all the front-end work we put in was carried out seamlessly. Not only did we love working with Jazmyn, but so did our families. We can’t recommend Hustle and Bustle Events enough!

I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

100/100 - would hire again. I knew that hiring a wedding planner wasn’t just a want, but an absolute NEED for us (for me, really). And once that decision was made, I went to all my trusty wedding vendor friends and read all of their vendor recommendations and found Sofi. The moment we had our first call to the day of, Sofi was a gem! On our initial call she asked what my budget was and details/vision of our day and recommended what service we should go with - there was NO pressure at all. Working with Sofi, I felt like I had someone in my corner. She was there if/when I needed her. I also appreciated the reminder emails she would send out to help keep us on track! Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her. From start to finish, utter perfection. Even with the little snaffoo with the caterer, Sofi made sure I got something to eat (lactose intolerance brides IYKYK). Hiring Sofi and getting to know her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Wonderful human all around!

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

At least, it seemed like that to me I had nothing to worry or stress about the day of, and I have to give her credit for that! My biggest regret is not having found her sooner, because I would've loved her assistance in planning our wedding and helping with travel arrangements for our out of town guests.

Ayla knew exactly when to step-in, how and handled so much for us. We knew we’d both get pretty drunk so we counted on her to handle pretty much everything day-of. When I tell you she knew when to feed us, who to talk to, how to set things up….our day was absolutely perfect! We also had no idea where our vow books ended up (that was before we started drinking) and she mailed them to us, which was such a sweet surprise. Ayla and her team were great!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

I truly believe Aleacia needs to raise her prices! She made every part of our day so seamless, and her staff were super accomodating. While we were getting ready, Aleacia came in to check on us and noticed some wrinkeles in a bridemaid dress. In five minutes, she was back with a steamer! She even found a pin that had gotten left behind in my wedding dress that definitely would have hurt if she hadn't gotten it out before I put it on. While setting up, I never saw her once get frustrated (even when I certainly would have been overwhelmed), and her staff seemed to really like working with her. She was constantly checking in with them, us, our guests, and other vendors to make sure we didnt need anything, fixing details, or even sweeping the floor before guests got there. And that was just during the wedding! Before that, Im sure I drove her crazy with all my questions, but she always made time for me and helped me feel less stressed! I cant reccommend All A's enough!!!! In my opinion, if you don't have an Aleacia at your wedding, your missing out!!!!

For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei from Luxury Affairs was so helpful for our Day of Coordination on our wedding. She was flexible, communicative, and seemed to be everywhere we needed her to be! Audrei is very efficient and was able to be the eyes and ears that I couldn't be day of. She kept the whole day running smoothly and we are so appreciative! Thanks Audrei for making our wedding day perfect.

Kourtney with Firefly Events Colorado was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding planner. From our first meeting, her professional yet friendly communication style put me instantly at ease. She anticipated details I never would have thought of and provided exceptional value by going above and beyond standard wedding planning services. On the big day itself, Kourtney was indispensable - she made sure everything flowed smoothly so my husband and I could simply relax and enjoy our special moments. I'm admittedly an organized person but Kourtney took the wedding preparation to the next level with her thorough prep-work leading up to our ceremony and reception. Her day-of coordination was also top-notch. We truly can't thank Kourtney enough for helping create cherished memories we'll treasure forever.

Gathered Wedding Planning was an invaluable partner in planning my wedding. Bailey was available when needed, with a warm communication style that put me at ease during the stressful planning process. She expertly coordinated with vendors and family members on my behalf, allowing me to truly enjoy my special day knowing everything was in good hands. The quality of Bailey’s work was exceptional - she brought immense skill and care to ensuring my vision came to life seamlessly. From decor to timeline management, Bailey handled every last detail with precision and heart. My only regret is not hiring her for the welcome party as well! I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day thanks to Bailey’s thorough planning and graceful handling of any issues that came up. When it was time to leave, my bag was packed in the get away car with dessert and drinks! I highly recommend Gathered - they genuinely care and deliver exceptional service that is worth every penny.

Kahn Creative Co. exists to serve couples in making their day easy, special and unique. I love the satisfaction of turning a backyard into a dreamy weddingscape or letting a venue's natural beauty shine alongside personalized touches of the couple. As great as weddings are, they are stressful, and if I can help alleviate some of that stress, I want to! Using my natural gifts, I handle all the logistics, details, troubleshooting, and organization leading up to the wedding, and I do all of it so that a couple can truly enjoy her day with their closest friends and family.

I knew immediately hiring Emily was the best money I spent on my wedding. She was communicative the entire time, had great input, and was very organized. Emily went above and beyond day of, showed up when and where she needed to. She absolutely killed getting the venue ready and I fully trusted her to make any decisions day of. Aside from how hard she worked for us Emily is the kindest and sweetest person. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Callie Gray Weddings And Events

  • Offers 3 services

  • Serves Independence, MO for additional fees

Callie has known that she has wanted to plan events since she was in high school. She has always had a knack for planning and executing events. Callie is a CWEP (Certified Wedding and Event Planner) and possesses a Bachelors of Science in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas. She has over eight years of experience in the field not only with owning CGWE, but also working for various DFW vendors and venues and has had the honor of interning for celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera, twice on his bridal show circuit.

I happened upon Callie on instagram in the early stages of wedding planning hoping to find someone that could help me narrow things down so I could actually begin the planning process. From my husband & I's first call with Callie I knew she would be perfect to help us with our wedding day. She is such a calm presence and someone to call on anytime with any questions. She gave me all of her recommendations for vendors and helped me narrow things down right away which was life saving because there are just too many vendors out there to go through alone. Knowing that she knew everyone she was recommending to us and had worked with them in the past gave me such ease and confidence. Now, my wedding day... OMG my wedding day. It was so relaxing. Stressed would not even be anywhere near how I felt. I showed up to the venue and Callie was there, biggest smile, handling all the things. She checked on me multiple times making sure I had everything I needed as well as my whole bridal party. The whole wedding ran so smoothly, everything was on time... I could go on and on. I am so lucky that after this I can now truly call Callie my friend. Truly the best in the business. My wedding would not have been ANYTHING close to what I was without her. We are forever grateful!!!!!

I love love stories! The small part I play in my clients love story is what drives me to do what I do. I love to make sure their special day is unique, beautiful and memorable. I take care of all aspects of the wedding day so my clients are free to party and enjoy their day-stress-free! I encourage my couples to think outside of the box and put their own stamp on their wedding using their love story, hobbies, and even furbabies to make their event absolutely perfect for them!

Maya was super wonderful for our wedding, she was the only person we met with for wedding planners that genuinely cared about us and what we wanted for our big day. She was super helpful with pulling everything together and helping us hunt down any missing pieces we wanted. She was super on top of stuff but was still able to have fun with us and bring everything so beautifully together. She also had my back through the whole process because there was other stuff going on with my family and she was there for me and was ready to help me out with whatever I needed to help deal with all of it. She was so amazing and I would recommend her a million times over to anyone.
