We would definitely recommend MK Events! Melissa and Kourtney were wonderful to work with. Even though they were day-of coordinators for us, at times, they felt more like full service planners. They helped us collect and review our contracts, checked in throughout our two year engagement and the planning process, helped with vendor communications and scheduling in the last few weeks, and Melissa attended our final venue walkthrough with us. On the day of the wedding, they kept things running smoothly, and made sure all of our things were cleaned up at the end of the night. They also got tons of extra photos and videos that we weren't expecting! It was so appreciated. :) We'd absolutely recommend them for wedding day of coordination!

Being new to planning a wedding, we had no idea what we were signing up for. Quickly into the planning process, we realized we needed help to pull off our special day. The process of finding a day-of coordinator felt overwhelming—until we found MK Events. Their sign-up process was a breeze, with a low initial booking fee that was incredibly helpful as we budgeted for our big day. The clarity with which they outlined their duties gave us the confidence we needed to know we were in capable hands. I truly cannot think of a single critique. Without Melissa and Kourtney, I would have felt completely overwhelmed. They held everything together with such grace, a fun spirit, and a calm demeanor that was not only infectious but grounding and very much needed on a day filled with heightened emotions. They became more than just coordinators—they were a safe space and a solid support system beyond what I can express in words. A moment that stands out in particular was when I had almost given up on the vision I had for our altar. I had 100% resigned myself to the fact that it just wasn’t going to happen. But Melissa and Kourtney went above and beyond to make it a reality. The way they brought that vision to life, down to the smallest detail, left me incredibly thankful. And the fact that they loaded everything back into the U-Haul at the end of the night was really an incredible help! Every part of the experience with Melissa and Kourtney was exceptional. Their calm and positive energy was exactly what we needed to counterbalance the inevitable stress of the day. We were even treated to a lovely surprise when they sent us some candid background photos they had taken and a lovely bouquet of our table flowers for both me and my fiancée, as well as our parents. Their willingness to step in and handle any task, from filling vases with stones and sand to troubleshooting last-minute issues, was beyond what we ever expected. These women are true superstars. We initially booked MK for day-of coordination because we didn’t realize how much would fall on us. We found ourselves becoming increasingly overwhelmed with all the tasks—decorating, moving decor, coordinating vendors and family photographers, and so much more. That’s when Melissa and Kourtney stepped in, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Thank you, MK Wedding Coordination, for being the rock that held our wedding together. You made our day not just possible, but perfect.

If you are looking for a day of coordinator you NEED to hire Melissa and Kourtney! They were nothing but amazing! I hired them for day of coordination for prior to that you’ll have 2 meetings and be able to call/text Melissa about anything you’ll need! She did a fantastic job coordinating the rehearsal and making sure everyone knew what they were doing. The day of the hemming on my underskirt was falling apart because my shoes had rhinestones and I could barely walk because how tangled it was! The minute Melissa and Kourtney got there, they pulled out their scissors and safety pins and fixed my dress in no time! They set up my ceremony space which was absolutely beautiful and made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be for the ceremony. After the ceremony they brought out ice water since it was so hot and then later brought us food from the cocktail hour and drinks. Which was great since we were starving! I didn’t have a dj because we had an intimate wedding and the yard games out in the patio, so Melissa announced everything for us which was amazing! I just couldn’t had made this wedding everything I’ve dreamed of without her and Kourtney! I’m sure there’s at least a million other things they did that I’m just forgetting right now that made my wedding perfect! I would give them 1,000 out of 1,000 stars if I could!

To say Melissa and Kourtney are incredible is an understatement. One month before our day, I was panicked because I didn't know what I was missing and knew that with almost 200 guests at our wedding, it will be near impossible to have fun without a coordinator. I had heard some horror stories before, so I was a little skeptical on paying for a coordinator. I got more than my money's worth - I got the best night of my life and owe it to these two incredible women who kept steering the ship. Their communication and organization throughout the last month put my mind at ease and kept me on track. They checked in on my husband and I throughout the event and solved every issue that came up quickly, quietly, and efficiently. THANK YOU MK EVENTS!!!

Absolutely! Here at MK Events, we can help you plan and execute every milestone celebration. We’ve done bridal showers, kids parties, tea parties, celebrations of life, and community events just to name a few. Life is short, so let’s find more reasons to celebrate together! 🥰

Short answer, no. It depends on the scope of the projects I’m working on, and I’m always upfront and honest with any potential clients about what their event weekend will look like. For instance, we may do a Saturday wedding (with Friday rehearsal) and book a Sunday bridal shower/birthday party if the needs are in that doable sweet spot! During our consultation call together, we’ll go over what I anticipate your needs will be. 😁

I started my business as the sole owner and recruited my loving family members to help me as event staff for my first few events. Now, I’m so excited as my business is growing and I’m able to bring in creative individuals to work with me in giving you your dream event! I personally plan and coordinate my events, so you’ll know I’m definitely there! The other staff members we’ll need will be introduced to you within that last month of planning. 🥰

It depends on your wedding needs! If you want the complete hands-off-the-details-because-they-stress-you-out experience, you’ll be seeing A LOT more of me as I present you with your options and attend more meetings with venues, vendors, etc. If you’re bringing us on for Day-Of Coordination (what we lovingly refer to as “Month-Of Planning”), you’ll see less of us as you’re taking the reins on making the arrangements. 😁 All day of your wedding day, I’ll be just a call away! 😉

As a planner, I aim to help those who get stressed out with the planning piece. If crunching numbers for budget, doing research, and anticipating guest needs stresses you out, it’s so helpful to bring me on to ease those worries! Other things I can help you manage include, but are not limited to: -Making accommodations for lodging, transportation, and babysitting (kids or dogs) -Tracking RSVPs and meal selections for your guests, family, and wedding party -Finding a venue or vendors that will bring to life the vision you see for your wedding (For instance, finding the perfect castle venue for your royalty-themed wedding) Inquire for more!

As a coordinator, I’m jumping in during the last month to tie all the strings together. I’m reaching out to your selected venue and vendors as the point of contact, creating a timeline that flows magically, managing everyone’s arrival/departure for set up and tear down, and tending to the needs of you, your partner, and your wedding party while you gear up for your special day! (I also have a handy Emergency Kit with all sorts of things you may need that day.) Coordinating is a team effort, so my main job is to ensure we’re all working together to create that stress-free “magic”.
