    MaKenna is the best

    We hired MaKenna late in our wedding planning process and wish we had hired her sooner! As soon as you book her, she'll share resources, checklists, and generally be available with advice as you need it. We already had a lot planned before MaKenna came into the picture, but we were so grateful to have her to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. One important thing about her is that she was very familiar with our venue and had worked with many of our vendors before - this made everything smoother because everyone worked well together as a team. We're so glad we hired her!

    Hannah and Jon,
    It was such a pleasure working with you both for your wedding at Deer Park Villa! I loved the thoughtfulness of your vision and how incredibly organized you were! Thank you for your lovely review!
    All the best to you both!

    Thank you MaKenna!

    MaKenna was an absolute dream to work with and not sure if we can put into words how thankful we are that we had her on our big day. Our wedding was originally scheduled for 10/10/2020 and due to the pandemic, we had to push our reception to 2021. We met MaKenna back in 2019 and hit it off; she is extremely professional, patient, flexible and her attention to detail is impeccable. We took a break from planning due to the pandemic and we picked it back up in the beginning of 2021 and she didn’t miss a beat. We had 2 in person and 2 virtual consultations, and each session was well organized and productive. In addition, she was always available via email or text and addressed any questions or concerns with extreme efficiency. What impressive us the most was her attention to detail, nothing gets past MaKenna. Day of, she took care of everything, big or small, MaKenna and her assistant Hana were on it. She ensured our vendors, guests and venue were on time and everything was moving per our agreed upon schedule. She even had a day of minute-by-minute itinerary, in addition, she even printed out individual copies of the day of schedule for our wedding party which we thought was genius! Because of this, we were able to relax and really enjoy our day after 2+ years of planning. Thank you MaKenna and Hana, so happy we had you guys be a part of our special day!

    Elaine and Mart,
    Thank you so much for your sweet review! Hana and I appreciate your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you both (and Archie!) to make your dreams come true.
    Best wishes!

    We loved working with Makenna!

    Words cannot describe how thankful we are for Makenna!! She was truly the BEST wedding planner out there and was also very budget friendly. We had no problems working with her and she was always on top of everything. Most importantly, she was the real MVP on the day of our wedding and we cannot thank her enough! She coordinated all the little details and set up everything that needed to be done. We also had no problem cleaning up at the end of the night because she took care of them! I even planned for a surprise dance and she helped me go smoothly just the way I wanted it to be:) Would definitely recommend her!

    Amazing Service!

    My wife and I would 100%, without reservations, recommend Perfectly Planned Moments (MaKenna) for anyone who is planning a wedding. If you’re looking for a wedding planner stop right here and hire MaKenna as it was truly the best decision we made!

    We weren’t initially sure how much value hiring a wedding planner would provide but looking back, it made our lives so much easier! MaKenna guided us through making vendor decisions, taking the time to understand our vision and tailoring her recommendations accordingly. From there she managed all the coordination and communication with vendors which was a huge time saver for us. From her expertise, she anticipated the right questions and was consistently two steps ahead of everything.

    We entered the process with no idea what we were doing, and, over the course of an 18-month engagement (through a pandemic!) MaKenna expertly provided the guidance and support that was critical to making our day perfect. MaKenna is impeccably organized, somehow never letting a single item fall through the cracks, prompt at communicating (we never had to wait more than a few hours for a response via email, text, or call), and simply a joy to work with - we looked forward to each time we got to meet with MaKenna and were sad when our time working with her ended. In addition, all our family, friends, and guests who had the opportunity to meet MaKenna consistently stressed the same themes.

    Throughout the whole process MaKenna guided us through each critical task and worked behind the scenes to manage and help us select our vendors, providing us with the information and guidance necessary, and then on the day of our wedding MaKenna worked tirelessly to ensure that everything went flawlessly. Our families and us thoroughly enjoyed the day of and everyone kept commenting how things “just happened.” Of course, this was all thanks to MaKenna running around behind the scenes making sure vendors were in place, we stuck to the timeline, and taking care of all the details, We cannot stress enough how much more relaxed we felt on the day of our wedding with the confidence and trust that MaKenna was in control of every situation.

    MaKenna was critical to helping us have our magical wedding day, and we would highly recommend her to any couple that wants the same.

    Perfectly Planned Moments's reply:

    Dear Alec and Sayli,
    Wow! Thank you for such a wonderful review! I will miss our wedding planning zoom calls and our teamwork. It was such a privilege to be a part of your big day. All the best to you both and your family!

    When you want the best...

    MaKenna and her team are exceptional. As a DJ, I've seen her work first hand, on multiple occasions. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Leading up to the weddings, she is organized and detail oriented, leaving nothing to chance. She is a great coordinator to work with as well. Trust me when I say your other vendors will very much appreciate working with her (which goes a long way on the big day). Put the stress of your wedding in MaKenna's very capable hands, and enjoy your day. You won't be disappointed. I recommend her as often as I can

    I wish she planned more than just weddings!

    Have you ever met someone who gets excited talking about table linens? I have. Her name is MaKenna, and she is truly, incredibly one of a kind.

    When I got engaged, I thought that I would be able to plan a dream wedding by myself, but I soon found myself in over my head. It only took one coffee date with MaKenna to realize that she is the real deal, and to hire her onto my wedding planning team.

    MaKenna is a great communicator, an advocate for all of her couples, and more organized than my living room right before friends come over. During our monthly meetings, she was always prepared and excited to talk about anything wedding related – including the table linens, which I (admittedly) couldn’t have cared less about. MaKenna made sure that the planning process was as low-stress for my husband and I as possible, and on the day-of she went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly.

    I wish she planned more than just weddings!

    Perfectly Planned Moments's reply:

    Jess and Ted,
    Thank you so much for your kind review! It was so much fun working with you throughout our 1.5 year-long planning process! I miss our meetings. If you ever need a hand planning other events, give me a call!
    Cheers,
    MaKenna

    Best Decision, AMAZING Wedding Coordinator

    We recently worked with MaKenna to help plan and coordinate our wedding and I cannot say enough about thankful we were to not only have hired someone to help, but truly how grateful we are that it was Makenna! She is beyond amazing and it is worth every penny for those couples who are on the fence. Makenna is not only an advocate for you when working with vendors, but she really gets to know you so she can be sure she is doing what is in your best interest. She said to me in our first meeting " I want you to feel like we are friends during this process, so that you trust me 100%." Let me just say, I am about as type A as they come and I thought it would be incredibly difficult to hand over so much control to a stranger... but MaKenna is not a stranger, she absolutely became one of friends and I after our first meeting I trusted her 100%. Don't be alarmed by how young she may look, she is a rock star and clearly ambitious to be so amazing at what she does at her age. She took 99% of my stress away and handled things with empathy, professionalism and with good humor. I could seriously keep going for days about how happy I am that we found Makenna, but I hope you get the point. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to help with your special day. We love you Makenna!

    Brittany and Wesley Bauer :)

    Best Wedding Coordinator

    Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have toward MaKenna. Hiring her to be our wedding coordinator was about the best decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. She worked with our tight budget and created such a beautiful wedding. She met with us several times to keep us on track and even check in to see how we were doing mentally/emotionally. She provided comprehensive planning materials like a checklist (NEED), spreadsheets galore, things to pack for the wedding, things that attendants can do to help out, etc. She had countless little suggestions that contributed a ton to our wedding. MaKenna was always professional and courteous. The week of and day of the wedding were especially stand-out for us. She was excellent at communicating with and coordinating all of the vendors. As the bride, I don't know all of what happened behind the scenes the day of the wedding. I just know that after spending the morning getting ready with the bridesmaids, I came out to a perfectly decorated venue that was everything I had imagined for the wedding and more. Furthermore, the wedding timeline was followed to a tee. The other vendors on our team all commented on how smoothly everything ran. I can't thank MaKenna enough for everything she did for us! Highly, highly recommend!!

    Christine and Justin!
    You were wonderful clients, and I am so excited to have been a part of your wedding, and for your future together as the perfect couple. I was tearing up during your vows, seriously! THANK YOU for the opportunity to work with you, and for the super kind review. :-)
    Congratulations!!

    MaKenna made our wedding day, rehearsal, and months of planning an absolute dream. I can honestly say I wasn’t stressed out once. She is organized, dedicated, hard working and so sweet. Being a bride that didn’t have a lot of specificities about the day except having a lot of greenery she made the whole day look like it came straight out of a fairytale. If you want your day as special as mine was I would definitely recommend MaKenna. She is passionate about making your wedding the best day of your life.

    Perfectly Planned Moments's reply:

    Tina,
    It was absolutely wonderful working with you to coordinate your wedding! It was a beautiful and joyous day. Thank you for making my job so lovely, and for your sweet review. All the best to you and Danny!
    Cheers,

    MaKenna of Perfectly Planned Moments was wonderful to work with as our Day-of Coordinator. She is the quintessential Professional, who've provided many great insights to help in our decision making based on her years of experiences being the wedding coordinator. Leading up to the big day, MaKenna was working with all of our vendors and made sure all the business aspects are getting handled; contracts are reviewed and signed. MaKenna helped execute our vision of the perfect wedding and made it run as smoothly as it could be. She helped orchestrated the schedules of all the vendors; from the Venue, DJ, Flowers, Caterers flawlessly. MaKenna was tough when she needed to be in corralling people and making sure things are running according to plan. MaKenna was very pleasant to work with, she always had a positive and upbeat attitude, her personal touches and the sense of empathy we feel emanating from her when there were times that planning the wedding felt very overwhelming because there are just some many little and big details to take care of, and there's never enough time, MaKenna helped us feel like we are making progress, and offer guidance on the initiatives to take to get back on track. Overall, we feel like we couldn't have found a better Day-of Coordinator who matched our vision and our style. We could not have pulled off such a beautiful wedding that we had without MaKenna. I would gladly recommend anyone to work with MaKenna to help plan and coordinate their big day.

    Katie and Shariff,

    MaKenna is five stars all around. She had a hand in shaping our two-day wedding into one epic celebration. First off, MaKenna is organized, communicative, flexible and she has a strong attention to detail. These are all characteristics you have to have in a wedding coordinator. My fiance and I met with MaKenna multiple times leading up to our wedding. At each meeting, MaKenna asked lots of questions, listened even more and took copious notes. I could trust that she had our best interest in mind. She asked enough questions that she could anticipate any potential issues on the day of. That's how you build trust with your clients.

    Our two-day extravaganza went down flawlessly thanks to Makenna. I was able to relax and fully enjoy each moment because I could trust that she knew the schedule, who was supposed to be where, and that all the guests were happy. She was making things happen behind the scenes with confidence and grace. No easy feat over 2 days and 120 guests each night.

    Don't hesitate to hire her. I would, again.

    Working with Mckenna to plan my wedding has been a dream.
    When thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, I hoped to find someone who would help me stick to a schedule and understand the vision had for my wedding. Mckenna has far exceeded these expectations. She worked with my fiance and I to create a checklist month by months that was easy to follow and low stress.
    She is full of creative ideas but is also respectful to my opinions, visions, and most importantly, the budget!
    I would recommend Mckenna to any bride or groom in need of a helping hand to plan their wedding or wanting fresh ideas on how to create their dream day.

    All and all a very positive experience.
    McKenna is a very easy person to work with and communicates extremely well. I always felt heard in our discussions throughout and know that she will be clear and understanding with her responses. I enjoyed the unshakeable confident and supportive presence that she brings to the table. As issues or conflicts came up she always proves to be a critical thinker and a great problem solver.
    Several times she was very helpful and successful in giving our wedding planning good momentum. She has a consistent dependable resolve that has proven very advantageous for dealing with this entire process.

    I would highly recommend MaKenna and Perfectly Planned Moments!
    She is an amazing mixture of organizational prowess mixed with creative energy! I found her to be very friendly and easy to work with and yet professional. She was flexible when I needed to change meeting times and punctual to her appointments. I am usually surprised at how quickly she gets things done in a quality fashion!
    I was especially amazed at her grace under pressure! She was so calm and creatively and practically problem solved issues that were beyond her control. I found I could relax, knowing that she is managing everything!
    MaKenna has worked for me on several occasions and she has always exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants a efficient, quality and creative approach to their event!

    One of the best!

    Makenna was great to work with...i'm not just saying this...it's true! As a professional DJ that's been entertaining at hundreds of weddings over the last several years and have worked with many coordinators she goes above and beyond the norm.

    Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with Makenna from beginning to end. When searching through the many wedding planners available its completely overwhelming. We chose Makenna initially because she was the only one who asked us what we wanted for our wedding. We had several phone calls where the planners were instilling their vision to our day. However, looking back on it guidance is what we needed. During our meetings she seemed disorganized as there was no structure and we needed to repeat ourselves often. We left each of our meetings more stressed than before, she would ask us things like "what if its really windy?", "how should I coordinate the bridal party walking down?", "how far away should the guest be seated from the bridal party?". Which are all things we would have no way of knowing and were hoping she would be able to handle. She was 45 minutes late to our wedding rehearsal and showed up with a ice-blended coffee that was FULL. On the day of our wedding the rental company called me because she had not arrived yet and were waiting for direction on how to arrange the tables. My husband spent the morning of our wedding directing the venue staff on decorating, even though we had a walk through with Makenna the day before for specific details for our wedding.My husbands sister, brother-in-law and kids who were all a part of the bridal party got a flat tire on the way to the ceremony. While we were still on time, Makenna was pushing us to start without them. That would've meant my husbands sister would've missed our ceremony. During the wedding I saw her and her assistant on their cellphones several times while I was trying to get their attention. I will say she was very responsive in communicating up to the day. However her suggestions lacked practicality and was nothing we didn't already think of. For this reason we frequently sought out advice from other professionals. Maybe this is something that will improve with experience.

    Perfectly Planned Moments's reply:

    Dear Samantha and Mitchell, Thank you for taking the time to express yourself regarding my services. It is my goal to strive for excellence at every wedding I coordinate. Please allow me some explanation. It is my policy to gather as much information from my clients as possible while planning, so I have the tools I need to troubleshoot every potential wedding day scenario. There were many occasions where I asked questions and was simply told not to worry, you would take care of it yourselves. When I offered my professional advice regarding various topics, it was often disregarded, so I instead focused on learning and executing your wishes. I arrived at your rehearsal late due to car accidents beyond my control, which the rest of your wedding party also experienced—some even arriving later than I did. I called ahead of time to warn you both, and you understood. I did not stop on the way to your venue for my coffee—I had that before I got on the road. I did arrive to your venue at 8AM, as planned, the next day, but the rental truck was there earlier than scheduled. I instruct all the vendors I work with to contact me first on the wedding day if they have any questions. I’m sorry they did not follow the protocol. Mitchell and the wedding party insisted on setting up the venue the morning of the wedding themselves, and did not involve me in this process as much as I offered to help or even take over. Mitchell did not interact very much with me, and came and went as he wanted. Before the ceremony, when it came to my attention that your family had a flat tire, I did not suggest starting the ceremony without them. I checked up on the wedding party to see how they were doing, and to stay updated on everyone’s arrival. Because of the nature of managing weddings, I strive to keep myself available to my clients, their guests, as well as the wedding vendors, to keep things running smoothly. I use my cellphone as a tool to accomplish this goal. I wish you and Mitchell the best!
