About Kelly’s Elegant Events

Kelly’s Elegant Events

Wedding & Event Planner

Hello! I’m Kelly, the founder of Kelly’s Elegant Events, a wedding and event planning service dedicated to creating beautifully curated celebrations worldwide. Originally from the UK, I’ve lived in six countries, each inspiring my love for cultural traditions and the joy of bringing people together. My journey into event planning began with Girl Gone International, a global women’s community, where I organized events connecting women worldwide. These experiences fuelled my passion for crafting unforgettable memories and bringing visions to life for couples and celebrations of all kinds.

What sets me apart is my international background, extensive cultural exposure, and a deeply personalized approach to event planning. Having lived in six countries, I bring a global perspective and a keen eye for detail, seamlessly blending diverse traditions and styles to create truly unique celebrations. My background in teaching has honed my organizational skills and ability to connect with clients on a personal level, ensuring every event reflects their vision and story. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand affair, I’m passionate about delivering stress-free, unforgettable experiences for my clients.

From the moment we reached out, Kelly took the time to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Her attention to detail was remarkable—from selecting the perfect venue to coordinating with local vendors. Kelly anticipated our needs at every step and ensured nothing was overlooked, even handling unexpected challenges with professionalism and grace. Her communication was excellent, keeping us informed and involved without burdening us with unnecessary stress. She provided creative ideas for decor, invitations, and other details that perfectly aligned with our theme. The day itself was flawless—every detail came together beautifully, and all we had to do was enjoy the moment. If you're looking for a planner who is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable, Kelly’s Elegant Events is the perfect choice. Thank you, Kelly, for turning our dream wedding into a reality! Would highly recommend her to anyone planning a destination wedding or any event that requires an expert touch.

    Kelly organized my 50th Birthday party and it was beyond amazing! From start to finish, she was a pleasure to work with and she took care of nearly everything. I appreciated how Kelly paid very specific attention to all my requests and ideas. I did absolutely nothing and she took care of EVERYTHING! Kelly and her team listened closely to our vision and provided helpful guidance to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly. The day-of coordination was outstanding, and they kept the timeline running smoothly so we could fully soak in the celebration.

    Kelly's Elegant Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication style was highly professional, prompt, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was exceptional - they were courteous, timely, and ensured that every aspect of our special day ran smoothly. I didn't even have to worry about a single thing, as Kelly was there to expertly direct the vendors, bridal party, and cleanup crew, allowing me to truly relax and just enjoy my wedding. I highly recommend Kelly's Elegant Events to any couple looking for a stress-free, first-class wedding planning experience.
