Experience with Monarch Events

I got married this past November, and Kourtney made my dream wedding a reality. She was with me every step of the way through the planning process. Her incredible patience, attention to detail, and warm personality was evident during our first meeting. This inspired confidence that she could deliver a great result while making the process enjoyable. She exceeded every expectation! What set Kourtney apart was the design process. There were things I wanted incorporated in the wedding vision, and Kourtney was able to put the vision together and present it to me as a design package. She has truly mastered the craft at taking a vision and inspiration and bringing it to life.

Throughout the entire process, Kourtney kept me organized, stress-free, and even delivered on wish list items that we were told couldn’t be done. Everything went perfectly during my wedding day. Kourtney made my vision a reality. She also took the initiative to solve problems on her own without needing to involve my family and I on my wedding day. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to work with Kourtney.

Made my wedding the best day ever!

SO many amazing things to say about Shelby! I hired her as my day of planner and even in the year leading up to the big day, she always answered any questions I had about vendor recs, details for the day, and overall eased some of my pre wedding anxiety! I was nervous because my venue was pretty disorganized and didn't seem to keep track of my planning so I really leaned on Shelby to make sure the day was what I planned. And boy did she deliver! Everything on the day was EXACTLY how I imagined it. Even to the smallest details like placement of flowers and chairs. During our reception, I had people coming up to me saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!! They said the timing of each event, the flow of the day, everything was incredible. I got so many compliments on all the details and I thank Shelby for how seamless everything felt and looked. Her overall aesthetic totally matched what I envisioned so the day was PERFECT!!

Finding exquisite beauty in life’s most memorable moments is my passion. I am a curator of fine details and sophisticated color. I created my first bouquet for my wedding 8 years ago. This industry is special to me because each wedding I get to be a part of feels (in a small way) like a celebration of my own.They are so personal. My background in art heavily influences my designs. I find romance in the purity of artistic expression and write poetry through the arrangement of color. I draw inspiration from the masters, seek beauty in timeless, unforgettable experiences and authentic connection with my clients. Serving my clients through such an important event and getting to know them through the process brings me such joy.

The romance of seamlessly executed and well curated events inspires me. I find comfort in a cup of coffee and the magic of a candle lit gathering of loved ones. My travels abroad have shaped my desire to connect with people and ensure a truly personal, authentic experience. I love that this industry allows me to serve and embrace people through one of the most joyful times of their lives.
