JayLynn is FANTASTIC! She traveled solo all the way to Arkansas for our wedding day! We booked her over 1 year out from our wedding & we started our google meets once a month to plan. She helped plan the finest details and offered her input and advice for every part. The day of the wedding I had a dress malfunction & she went to the store to grab the needed supplies to fix it. Her personality is so bubbly and she is very easy to get along with. We had the most perfect day & are so glad she helped make our wedding run smoothly. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

Erika is THE BEST decision we made, aside from marrying each other, bahahahah. She addressed our questions thoughtfully, without patronizing or dismissing our ideas, which we quickly came to find was incredibly refreshing when meeting with potential vendors. As first-time planners, her guidance and enthusiasm while listening to our ideas was AMAZING. She helped lay out table settings, coordinated all the arrivals & take downs of the day perfectly, and we didn't know of anything that went wrong.. We recommend her to everyone—if you're considering hiring Erika, DO IT!!!!

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Tracey is OUTSTANDING!!!! I cannot recommend Opulent Events enough! Tracey and her staff did an amazing job with my wedding. We did a tented wedding at my parents with over 250 guests which required a lot of coordinating and moving parts!

She coordinated all the vendors, payments, bridal party, and more without even one hiccup! I truly enjoyed the whole process with Zero stress thanks to her.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lauren (Lo) was amazing! She helped us design, plan, and coordinate our wedding. From the very beginning, Lo went the extra mile to help build our vision and make sure that every detail screamed us. She took the time to get to know us and our story. While designing, she sent us a complete design deck and even brought up ideas we had not yet seen at a wedding (ie. Baseball seating chart wall (my husband has played baseball all his life including college and now coaches)). She was able to guide us in making decisions and providing input, which came in handy as an indecisive, overthinking bride. If we were unsure of who to hire for a specific service, Lo provided us with different options that she thought would fit our style. Communication was on point. Lo took initiative to connect with all our vendors and worked hand in hand with our venue, making sure that they knew and understood everything going on. She was always available for us and very responsive. Our venue's communication with us was a little dicey at times, but Lo took the reins provided reassurance, stability, and support that made us feel cared for and like she had everything in control. The entire day ran smoothly. There was no issue or anything for us to worry about the entire time aside from spending time with each other and our friends and family. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Our wedding would not have been as incredible without her. We were so grateful to have her there as our coordinator!

From our very first consultation, she made me feel so at ease and confident that everything would come together perfectly, and it did! Brittany's attention to detail is unmatched—she thought of everything, from the smallest elements to the big picture. She not only helped us select the most amazing vendors, but she also kept everything organized and on track. Every single aspect of our wedding day was seamless, and that’s all thanks to her incredible planning and coordination skills. On the day of the wedding, Brittany and her team were a calming presence behind the scenes, handling any hiccups with grace, so I could focus on enjoying the moment. It was so comforting to know that she had everything under control. I truly felt like I could relax because I trusted her completely.

It’s difficult for me to fully articulate how extraordinary a wedding planner Sandra is. We threw every difficulty her way - a shortened timeline; a busy couple that had no time to devote to planning; wanting things a certain way and constantly changed our mind; and a budget to keep. Sandra dealt with it all with empathy, creativity, skill, and a preparedness that allowed her to roll with the punches.

I made the decision to find a wedding planner when i was struggling to make decisions on the most simple items, i'm extremely indecisive! The ladies at Blue Poppy were the cure to my problems. They helped me from start to finish and are experts at what they do! They helped me find all the perfect vendors to make my vision come through and were extremely patient along the whole way. They were impromptu mediators when my mother and i had difference of opinions and they helped SAVE my wedding dress when i had a disaster at my first alteration. These ladies are well connected and either know someone OR will find someone to solve your problem! ALL of my wedding guests were super impressed by how seamless the wedding day went and you can tell the ladies behind Blue Poppy were the conductors, orchestrating a perfect show.

Congratulations! You’re making the leap! If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to tie the (k)not. So exciting -and nerve-wracking, too! If you’re going to pop the question, it has to go RIGHT. The only surprise should be the one that makes your future spouse scream YES! And a cookie-cutter proposal just won’t do. After all, no two love affairs are alike - and proposals shouldn’t be either. If you’re planning a wedding, you know it’s not the kind of event you should entrust to just anyone. You might have a vision and just don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re so excited you can’t think straight. Either way, you’re in the right place.

We hired a day-of planner only because our event site required it. We thought we would be able to do everything on our own. WRONG! There are so many moving pieces behind the scenes that only a professional is aware of. It would have been a tragic mistake if we tried to do it without Soul Agave or had hired a lesser service. They went above and beyond to make the day wonderful. Everyone commented on how flawlessly the day flowed from one event to another. Fabulous job from start to finish.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

My wife and I are so happy about our choice to hire Rose as our wedding coordinator! She was helpful, kind, and super organized. Our day was incredible and it felt great to get to enjoy our wedding without having to worry about small details.

Angie, you were absolutely incredible to work with. We had a wonderful time partnering with Angie to create our dream wedding. She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference. It's because of Angie that we had such wonderful vendors, a significantly less painful planning experience, and a flawlessly executed wedding day!
