    SO Happy, highly recommend Kendall!!!

    When I was on my search for a wedding planner, I knew exactly what I wanted: a planner with vision, great design sensibility, experience, resourcefulness, and most importantly (in our case) that could help us stay organized and could move us along our timeline smoothly. I found literally all of this in Kendall. She is so organized, kind, honest, empathetic, the voice I couldn't have myself in parts of planning, and she made my husband and I feel completely confident in every step of the way. She scouted vendors for us and checked out rentals in person. Our touchbase meetings were always productive and fun/funny.. I always looked forward to them and actually miss them! Lol. My butterflies started up the month before the wedding and I told Kendall. She gave me simple and impactful advice that I held on to throughout the wedding weekend, and I kid you not, that's really all I needed to avoid stressing. Our wedding turned out beautifully. After meeting up with some of our guests in the month after our wedding, we've heard this is the first wedding they've been to that felt perfect - nothing delayed, nothing wrong, beautiful vignettes and surroundings, and everyone felt the love, intimacy, cheer and warmth we wanted. We went with her partial package, and an additional event, but in hindsight, we should have gone all the way with her full planning package! Kendall, you will always be a part of our story and we couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding weekend, nor had the perfect planning experience, without you and your team.

    Kendall Melissa Events's reply:

    Oh My goodness thank you both for your kind words! I miss our chats and I miss planning your wedding day! It was beyond perfect and I loved how you both took moments throughout the day/evening to enjoy your day and everyone who was there to celebrate the two of you! I am so honored that I got to be a part of the planning and see your day come together! I am so so happy that you are happy and I am happy that months from now you still feel the same :)

    Hire Kendall Already!

    Working with Kendall for our wedding was amazing! She was responsive, detail oriented, patient, and level headed throughout the entire wedding planning process - a true professional. Leading up to the wedding, she suggested other vendors and helped us ask key questions during vendor meetings. We were really picky about our photographer and Kendall continued to pass along vendor suggestions - never showing a sign of frustration, even after we looked at over 30+ options. Kendall helped us stay within our budget without compromising on things that were important to us (but also told us when we needed to be realistic about what we wanted). She provided us guidance around timing and what to do when leading up to the wedding, but never pressured us or made us feel like we were "falling behind". A few days before our wedding, morning rain was forecast and Kendall immediately reached out to vendors for a tent and we discussed various back-up plans for the day of. Several hours before our wedding it started raining (even though it wasn't supposed to!). Because she knew what was important to us, she was able to make great decisions without stressing us out as all - Kendall & her team promptly took care of the details (like moving dinner inside, changing reception set up, etc). I'm sure there are SO many things they did that we didn't even know about to help our day run smoothly.

    Hiring her for partial planning was definitely money spent, and she went above and beyond for us - we highly recommend Kendall Melissa Events!

    Kendall Melissa Events's reply:

    Oh My Goodness-- thank you Paige for you kind, thoughtful, and meaningful review! It was so wonderful working with you and Kyle and I truly feel that your wedding day was magical (despite the rain!) and everything turned out beautifully. I miss our chats! I know that you and Kyle are creating the best life ever-- thank you, thank you!

    Experienced & Organized

    Although I did not use Kendall's service to the full extent (due to COVID) I no doubt would have expected her to go beyond in executing our wedding. She is responsive and easy to work with. Her background experience in hospitality is what really drew me, and meeting her I knew the wedding would have been in good hands.
    Corresponding together she asked questions and helped delegate tasks I didn't realize I would have needed to do and broke down tasks in an easy digestible way that I could begin to tackle. Wedding planning isn't easy and If you're considering a planner do it!

    Kendall Melissa Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Alyssa! It was a pleasure working alongside you as your planned your wedding day! I admire how you handled adjusting your wedding plans due to COVID-19, and I am SO happy that you are officially Mr. + Mrs.! You have a lifetime of happiness ahead of you and I could not be more excited for the two of you!

    We love Kendall!!

    There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal Kendall is as a Wedding Planner!!! I will be forever grateful to have found her and have her part of this wedding planning journey. From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew I had found my person and we were in the best of hands. She made the entire process so fun and easy and I just absolutly loved working with her. She went above and BEYOND on our Wedding Day, being at the venue from 8am until midnight making sure every little detail was perfect for our day. She is worth every penny and more and truly was my favorite vendor we had a part of our wedding. We couldn't have done it without Kendall and we just love that she is such a huge part of our story. I would work with Kendall over and over again and recommend her to anyone! She has a heart of gold and is born to be a wedding planner. We love Kendall!!

    Phenomenal planning and support

    We honestly couldn’t have pulled off our wedding without Kendall and her team. I started looking into “Day Of” coordinating pretty late into the planning process because I realized I was in WAY over my head. Even being a “planner” kind of person, I realized I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the event if I was also the one running around trying to coordinate everything at the same time. I found Kendall on WeddingWire and set up a phone call with her. I knew instantly from talking with her that she was experienced and I could trust her professional opinion and expertise.

    Unfortunately the month before our original wedding date, covid happened and we had to reschedule 6 months out. Kendall was instrumental in contacting all of my vendors and helping get my new contracts in order. She also was able to assist us in getting a full refund from our venue. It was really effortless.

    The package Kendall offered us was Day Of coordinating with assistance 3 months leading up to the wedding day. Of course with covid, my timelines got stretched out a bit. This didn’t affect Kendall’s dedication to our event - she wanted us to have our dream wedding despite the circumstances!

    We had already booked the majority if not all of our vendors before booking Kendall, but when I needed a new hair and makeup team last minute (like a few weeks before) she was right on top of it! I appreciated her prior positive relationships with the majority of our vendors and in the Northern California wedding community.

    She had everything for our wedding organized in a google drive that was easily accessible, and she sent us weekly emails with updates as we got closer. Her checklists and timelines kept me on top of everything and because of these I was able to enjoy the week leading up to my wedding without crazy last minute fiascos.

    From bringing our venue to life, to coordinating our rehearsal, to helping me make my Pinterest-worthy send off a reality, we couldn’t be happier with Kendall and we would recommend her to all of our family and friends!

    Kendall Melissa Events's reply:

    Brittany!! I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful and thorough review! Makes me smile thinking about your wedding and I am so, so, so thrilled that you and Jon could finally have your day! It was an absolute pleasure working alongside you to bring all of your wedding dream (even the pinterest dreams!) to life! You were so gracious and accommodating when you had to pivot on your original wedding date and plans, BUT I think that your wedding turned out to be the most beautiful day! I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words as they truly mean the world to me. You, and the experience you had is the whole reason why I love what I do. And now you're married! Congratulations and thank you, thank you!

    Best coordinator ever!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Kendall. Hiring her was one of the best decision I made while planning our wedding. Our wedding was effected by Covid and despite all of my stress of the unknown, Kendall remained calm and was extremely flexible with the many changes we had to make, including location. She was always very organized, easy to communicate with and always one step ahead. She made our day stress free and absolutely perfect. She made everything I had envisioned come to life. And thanks to her, we were actually able to relax and enjoy our day. I would not hesitate to hire her again and would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a wedding planner!

    Kendall Melissa Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Nicole!! It was a dream working alongside you. I admire your calm demeanor and willingness to adapt and pivot as we navigated the Covid pandemic. I truly love how your wedding day came together and I loved how it became that much sweeter and more intimate. I absolutely enjoyed getting to know you and Jeff (and sweet Carly!) and bringing your wedding visions to life! Congratulations to you both!

    Excellent essential tips and advice

    As the mother of the bride, starting the wedding planning process was a bit daunting at first for many reasons. First, my daughter lives in Seattle but the wedding was held in St Louis and she didn’t have much time to come back and forth so much of the planning was done via email and phone calls. The second was the simple fact that we have never planned a wedding before and weren’t sure how to get started. When we first reached out to Kendall she set us up with a list of things to think about and consider and when to complete them and a spreadsheet to track our vendors as we made payments, when payments were due, how much we had spent to date, etc. Not only did she send the spread sheet but she gave us some helpful numbers for our budget that she thought were reasonable and they were incredibly accurate! She kept us on budget and on time with making payments. Kendall researched accommodations for our guests and took care of all communication with the hotels and tracked room bookings when people made them. When we had any sort of question Kendall replied in a timely manner with answers that were helpful and she went out of her way to include extra ideas, and information we had not thought of yet. She helped with decorating tips and ideas, researched vendors for linen rentals, talked to us about invitation etiquette for not only the wedding but rehearsal dinner, and checked in with us frequently to make sure we were comfortable with the progression of planning. My daughter’s fiancé is from Vietnam and 26 of his family members attended the wedding from Vietnam. Kendall helped plan transportation for them and for our wedding guests. The biggest thing that Kendall did was reassure us that we were on the right track and gently corrected us when we weren’t. She was calm, always professional and very available for all questions, big or small. The wedding day was a huge success and went off without a hitch. My daughter said she would do it all again! Thank you to Kendall for all that she did to help make it so incredible and memorable!
