Hands down the BEST!

If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, let me make it easy for you: YES, you should absolutely do it, and Keyed Up Events is the way to go! We had the pleasure of working with Dana and her fantastic team for our ceremony and reception at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, and they turned our special day into pure magic.

From the get-go, Dana and her team were amazing. They shared the best planning tips and tricks, held Zoom meetings and phone calls to tackle any pre-wedding jitters, and even handled real medical emergencies like pros! Seriously, if you want peace of mind on your big day, hire Keyed Up Events!

Dana and her crew are the sweetest people ever. Dana guided us through the planning process like a seasoned pro, and Randella was our rehearsal superhero. Together, they made sure our reception was flawless and swooped in to fix any hiccups along the way.

Dana's planning tools, tips, and timelines were lifesavers. She made sure everything had a backup plan (and a backup for the backup) so we could relax and enjoy every moment. Thanks to Dana and her team, our wedding was the most magical day we could have ever dreamed of!

So, if you want your wedding to be stress-free, fun, and absolutely perfect, go with Keyed Up Events. You'll be so glad you did!

Wedding June 1st

Keyed Up Events was very helpful in making our wedding weekend a success. Throughout the wedding planning process, Dana was very proactive in helping us prioritize the right things so we felt well prepared. For the Grooms Dinner, Dana and her staff met us to go over our wedding ceremony processional. On our wedding day, Dana and her staff were great being our day of coordinators and ensure the whole event was seamless. Thank you Dana and Alexis!

The best GD wedding planner you could ever hire! :)

We hired Dana/Keyed Up Events as our wedding planner, and all I can truly say is, "wow." :) We met Dana & some of the other KUE team members originally at my sister's wedding back in June of 2022, as she had hired KUE to handle her planning/day of coordination. I was absolutely floored at how beautiful and seamless my sister's wedding was that I knew immediately once I got engaged that we'd also be hiring Dana/KUE for our wedding this past February. :) Not going to lie, in the beginning, I was definitely a very stressed out bride. We'd had a bit of a miscommunication regarding the pricing for our venue, and that led me to a very frantic call to Dana sobbing and concerned about the pricing discrepancy. However, Dana was immediately able to not only resolve the issue WITHIN A DAY of my call (due to her extremely strong, longstanding relationships with venues & other vendors), but she also was able to completely calm me down and reassure me that this issue was NOT going to be how the rest of our wedding planning would go with her and her team by our side. And she was absolutely right. Dana and her team completely took over all vendor communication and made sure everything was smooth sailing going forward. :) We truly had the best wedding planning experience ever, and Dana was truly a mountain mover when it came to some last minute requests and changes we had throughout the process. We also worked very closely with Hope & Lauren from the KUE team too, and they were absolutely amazing as well. Keyed Up Events truly made the very overwhelming task of wedding planning a really positive experience, and when it came to our Big Day, everything literally went perfectly. :) All of their vendor suggestions were amazing and they honestly gave my husband and I the absolute best day of our lives. :) I would highly recommend Keyed Up Events and Dana to anyone thinking about hiring a wedding planner, and I cannot thank them enough for giving us the most beautiful wedding day ever!! :)

I've worked with Dana on several occasions - she is not only a delight to be around, but she's smart, organized, detail-oriented and is great at thinking on her feet. I've seen her organize events big and small, and all have gone off without a hitch. I love working with Dana, and you will too. I highly recommend her for any event you have that needs proper planning and a smile leading the charge.
