We are so happy with our planner, India Fordham and our jr. planners Kaylea and Jess for our Nashville wedding at The Parthenon. We went with month of coordination with 60 days of support. We started meeting with India about 60 days out and she was incredible to work with. She nailed down details that we didn’t even know we needed to know and perfectly executed our vision. When we had last minute changes, questions or unknowns, she handled it and we never felt stressed or worried. The day of was incredibly smooth that I truly don’t know how we would have done it without our planners. When they say weddings are magic, this is what they mean!

It was a pleasure working with Kaiya! She was very cooperative, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the entire process. The package I chose with Kaiya was the event management service. Wedding planning was a bit stressful for me since it was just my partner and I planning the whole thing together but 3 months before the event Kaiya jumped in and helped manage all of our vendors, helped with day of timeline, and more. She also helped coordinate the rehearsals and the day of the wedding. I truly did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day, Kaiya handled everything with ease and care, and she guided us through our timelines of events that day with expertise.

At ImPerfect Events, we believe the most meaningful celebrations are human and emotion-driven — which means they’re often a little messy, sometimes unpredictable, and never truly “perfect.” Those moments are usually where the joy lives, and what make a day feel unique and real. We were founded on the belief that weddings and events should be about love and community. They should feel warm, welcoming, and joyful — and we believe that same ease can exist in the planning process, too. In an overwhelming world, our goal is to create a planning experience that brings clarity, organization, and calm without losing heart.

We absolutely loved working with Sydney! She was amazing from start to finish, so sweet, incredibly professional, and truly a calming presence. If there were any hiccups, she let us know in such a thoughtful, reassuring way that we never felt stressed for a second. Her overall help, organization, and professionalism made our wedding day run perfectly. We couldn’t imagine having anyone better by our side. Highly recommend!

As the founder of AWE Planner, you might wonder: How did she become a planner? How many events do we coordinate each year? What inspires us about this work? For founder Jenn Greel, becoming a wedding and event planner was a natural path. Her journey began with bartending private events, and planning gatherings for friends, which eventually spared the idea of launching her own planning business. From our first wedding fair to signing our first client-who happened to be a coworker at the time-AWE Planner was built from scratch. With every event we've learned, grown, and harnessed our experiences to shape the outstanding team we are today.

My wife and I got married a few months ago and we hired Jenn from Awe Planner for our ceremony. It was at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF. Jenn was super communicative during the planning phase and extremely detail oriented. She came to the rehearsal and was able to see our vision and make sure everyone was on board. She was GREAT with the kids too which was helpful! Wedding day, Jenn was absolutely ON IT and super incredible! She was very professional and knew exactly what to do even when a few things went wrong…. She quickly pivoted and still able to execute flawlessly. I never packed at any point as I knew Jenn had everything under control at all times. Her energy is great- positive and high but not overwhelming at all… literally Perfect! We had several people compliment us on how well she did which is when you know that u hired the right team! Jenn truly made our wedding ceremony run perfectly and we would 200% recommend her and hire her again if we needed! 10/10 hire her! Thank you again, Jenn!!!!

I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! The last three months leading up to my wedding were incredibly stressful, but bringing Cynthia on board as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a sense of calm and control that truly helped relieve so much of the pressure I was feeling. Cynthia is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She thought of things I never would have, and her preparation gave me the confidence to actually enjoy my wedding day. She executed all the decor exactly how I envisioned it and added thoughtful touches that made everything look even more beautiful than I imagined. When unexpected things came up (as they always do!), Cynthia handled them with grace and quick thinking, adjusting both the timeline and details seamlessly without ever needing to stress me out. She also managed all communication with the other vendors on the big day, which was a huge load off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about a single logistical detail because I knew she had it covered. My family couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful and helpful she was throughout the entire day.

About six months before the wedding, we did a walkthrough of the venue together. Jacqueline was always there to promptly answer our questions through email, and she even joined us on our trip to Chairs for Affairs (rentals) to help pick out linens, tables, decorations, bar stands, and more.

I joined the military on a whim and landed in Northern California, where I learned to love structure, connection, and celebrating people from every background. In 2022, I became an ordained minister after realizing just how much I’m drawn to real, deep love stories. The more weddings I officiated and planned, the more I found my spark in intimate celebrations. I wanted to create something different, a planning experience where you don’t have to lift a finger or carry the weight of timelines, vendors, or tiny details. At Ember, we handle the logistics so you can stay present, soak it in, and let your day unfold exactly as it should.

I’m so grateful for finding Ty. Our initial call to discuss my vision and to see if Ember was the right choice for my wedding went perfectly. I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing when we spoke on the phone. My number one priority was to not have to set up stuff on my wedding day and not have to coordinate. Anytime there was a problem on my wedding day she took care of it and was very active in my wedding day. From handling a problem with the caterer to handing out blankets to guests as their gift. Not only did she do all of that she also took pictures and videos and created a whole album for me since she knew I wouldn’t get pictures from my photographer/videographer for a while. Those pictures and videos were some of the best ones I got. Thank you Ty and Nikki!

I was born and raised in a beautiful valley in Western Colorado. I prefer living in small towns, but I like visiting big cities and finding all the best restaurants. Even though I spent most of my life in the west, I am enjoying the opportunity of living in new places. Along with event planning, a few other things that I love are my husband, my daughters, dogs (but especially my own), mountains, home improvement projects, camping, thunderstorms, dance parties, any and all dessert, cooking, and wearing the color black.

Kel Bozeman Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, Mikelle demonstrated active listening, respect, and responsiveness, ensuring our vision was brought to life. Her work was commendable, proficient, detailed, and outstanding - she made sure everything went according to plan and timeline, paid close attention to every detail, and handled any stressful situations with excellent communication and calm professionalism.

Our wedding in March 2024 was an absolute dream, all thanks to Venue To Go and the incredible Trivia Flowers! From start to finish, they provided full-service planning, floral design, and coordination, making our big day completely stress-free and absolutely incredible. Trivia's attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism exceeded our expectations in every way. The floral arrangements were amazing, and the entire event ran smoothly because of her expert coordination. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with their services and highly recommend Venue To Go for anyone looking for a seamless, beautifully executed wedding!

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a grand soirée with hundreds of attendants, we commit to making your day truly one of a kind. We specialize in creating weddings that are timeless, elegant, and deeply personal. Our approach ensures that your wedding is not just beautiful, but impeccably executed.

We loved Shannon! From start to finish, she were organized, calm, thoughtful, and truly a joy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, Shannon kept everything on track, anticipated details we wouldn’t have thought of especially with our vendors/venue, and made the planning process feel manageable and stress-free. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly, and if anything went wrong behind the scenes, we never really knew about it — which is exactly what you want. They handled vendors, timelines, and last-minute details with total professionalism and grace, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the day. Our event was at Kohl Mansion, so if you are having an event there, Shannon is your best bet for the best experience!
