I had the opportunity to work with Forever Moments on a wedding on 05/10/2026, and Cassie and Sharon were absolutely amazing throughout the entire day. They were both so kind, organized, and attentive to every little detail, and you could truly see how much they cared about making the day feel smooth and stress-free for everyone involved. Their communication was wonderful, and they created such a calm and positive atmosphere all day long. As a photographer, it makes such a difference working with planners who are supportive, professional, and genuinely great to work with, and Cassie and Sharon were exactly that.

My name is Jennette and I would love to be a part of your special day! I got into wedding coordinating on accident! One random day a few years ago, one of my friends asked if I would assist her in a few of her weddings. From that day on, I have been working weddings and my interest in them grew! My company is named after my beloved doggie, Lilo. She is a boxer mix hound, and she is surely a sassy one! She is lively, fierce and isn't afraid to have a good time. My vision for Lilo Weddings is to deliver a stress free and memorable event while working side by side with amazing vendors on the couple's wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jennette is amazing! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who truly understands both Vietnamese and American weddings—or weddings in general—don't hesitate to work with her. We booked her 2 Months of Coordination package, and she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. She was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and help us solve any problems along the way. She understood how stressful wedding planning can be and made us feel supported every step of the process. Jennette also provided rental décor and tea ceremony decorations, which were a huge help for our Vietnamese tea ceremony. Her experience with multicultural weddings made everything so much easier. She is incredibly organized and detail-oriented (definitely Type A!), which was exactly what we needed. My husband and I planned our wedding in just 4–5 months, and we truly couldn't have done it without her guidance. A special thank you to her assistant, Lucia, as well. Jennette and Lucia worked so well together, and their teamwork made our wedding day feel seamless. Their entire team was professional, organized, and always one step ahead, allowing us and our families to truly enjoy the day without worrying about the details. We highly recommend Jennette and her team to anyone looking for a coordinator who will keep your wedding organized, stress-free, and running seamlessly. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

If after the event has ended you are left feeling something greater than yourself, then we have done our job.

We hired Kelsey to assist with our event coordination for our April 2026 wedding. We had known Kelsey for years and were absolutely delighted when she took the leap of faith and started Kelsey Regina Events. This was, by far, one of the best wedding decisions we made. From the very beginning, Kelsey was incredibly organized, prompt, responsive, and so willing to assist with any questions or concerns. As we got closer to our event, she really took the burden off of us as we were preparing for our big day. She went above and beyond with her communication with our vendors, making sure she understood our vision, and tying up the loose ends so we could focus on the small details remaining. She was incredibly helpful as a sounding board when we needed to make a last minute decision regarding implementing our rain plan, something we ended up moving forward with that went incredibly smoothly. On the day of the event, Kelsey and her assistant, Carly, were absolute super stars. They were everywhere at once, but also right where they needed to be at any given moment. The tender love and care they gave to every moment and detail was highlighted throughout the day, and even complimented by many of our guests. They were timely, prepared, and ready for everything that day. Working with them will always be a highlight of our wedding day for years to come. We will be recommending Kelsey Regina Events to anyone we know getting married for forever.

As a Wedding Planner and Certified Project Manager, I fill the gap where wedding production ends and your personal logistics begin. While vendors manage the event and loved ones enjoy their roles as guests, the nitty-gritty details often fall on you. I step in as your logistics manager to absorb the stress and handle the "in-between" tasks. Combining my professional project management background with a passion for execution, I safeguard your energy so you can stay focused on the love rather than the labor. I don’t just coordinate the day; I protect your presence in it.

I honestly don’t know how we would’ve survived the planning process without Britnee. From the very first call, she was so quick to respond and just had this calming energy that made me feel like everything was under control. She handled all the messy logistics I was dreading. She even stepped in to help my Maid of Honor and my husband’s best man throw our bachelorette and bachelor party!

Genevieve and her team just finished working with my wife and I on our October 11th wedding. We used the Event Management package and are so happy we did! We spent the last year booking all of all vendors and working on all the fine details of decor, music, and signage etc. We started working with Days and Eves to help close all of the open gaps and work on the day of timeline. We thought we had all questions answered but we certainly did not! It was so helpful to have the team provide us with all of the schedules and guides to ensure that the day ran smoothly, for which it did! Everyone who was a part of the wedding knew what they needed to do and went to her or her assistant for questions. This allowed us to just be there and present. When we walked into the ceremony and reception, each time we were so blown away by how wonderful it looked! All of our items were placed perfectly to our guides and the restaurants additional items were worked in perfectly. Genevieve's schedule and suggested flow worked wonderful and we felt as relaxed (as possible). At the end of the night, she worked neatly to get all of our items so nicely packed and organized for us, which was much appreciated. We are so happy and grateful for Genevieve.

Stacy planned our wedding from start to finish, and I can’t imagine doing it any other way. She genuinely loves weddings and all the minutia that make them meaningful to each couple, and it really shows. Whether we were picking a photographer or deciding what kind of candles to use, she was always full of practical advice and creative ideas tailored to our tastes and budget. Stacy isn’t just a wedding planner — she’s a partner who is eager to understand and then produce your unique vision for the day. Stacy goes above and beyond every step of the way. Her motto — which you’ll hear a lot — is “we can do that!” Just one small example of many: I procrastinated on getting a hairstylist only to finally do a trial and realize I really didn’t like the result. Without even being asked, Stacy immediately jumped in and found multiple incredible hairstylists, even reaching out to confirm their availability and pricing. I’ve had so many people compliment me on the wedding, specifically how thoughtful and well-executed it was. Almost every single one of them has mentioned Stacy. Her professionalism, competency, and uncanny ability to subtly resolve any last-second problems makes for a stress-free event where your only job truly is to enjoy the day. And her attention to detail (like putting cute tags on the water carafes with refill instructions) makes even the littlest pieces feel special. She was always exactly where I needed her on the wedding day, checking in, making sure we were fed, re-bustling my dress moments before our first dance. I was able to really relax knowing she could handle whatever came up. If you’re hoping to find someone who is as excited as you are about seeing your dream wedding come to life, Stacy’s the one. My husband and I are still surprised by just how much we loved every moment of our wedding, which was in large part thanks to Stacy.

She went above and beyond in dealing with vendors and took so much off my plate. She also saved my mental health in the months/weeks leading up to the wedding, not bothered by my many questions and random thoughts and happily answered them all. She took my random thoughts and my very rough vision for decor and ran with it. I was stunned and amazed when I saw how everything turned out.

Before I met Katie, I truly thought I could be my own wedding planner. I had booked my venue and photographer and figured I could handle the rest. But once I dove into the world of wedding planning, I quickly realized how many details, moving parts, and potential stressors were involved. My biggest worry was that my venue had never hosted a wedding before, which felt daunting, and I was also nervous about managing vendors, timelines, and logistics while still trying to enjoy being engaged. Katie came highly recommended, and after just one phone call, I knew I needed her by my side. Her decade-plus of experience was immediately obvious - she knows exactly what to do, when to do it, what options to consider, what could go wrong, and how to handle everything seamlessly. After booking her, she recommended all of my remaining vendors (florist, cake, DJ, transportation, etc.), and every single one told me the same thing: “You’re in great hands with Katie. We’re not worried, she’ll tell us what to do and when.” Once I shared my vision with each vendor, I truly didn’t have to lift another finger. Katie handled all the technicalities and logistics directly with the vendors. She also completely alleviated my biggest concern, the new venue, through her excellent communication, organization, and confidence. We met monthly to touch base on what I had been working on and what I needed to work on next to stay on track, and I was never overwhelmed because she broke everything down in manageable parts and was always reachable with questions. On the wedding day, her team managed the timeline, directed people, coordinated vendor deliveries and setup, and even handled breakdown at the end of the night. When we realized we had forgotten some decorations at home, one of her team members literally went to our house to get them... that level of care is unmatched. My favorite part of my wedding day was being fully present and truly enjoying every moment without a single worry. It was a beautiful whirlwind, and because of Katie and her team, I was able to soak it all in. When people ask me if anything went wrong on my wedding day, they expect a story, but honestly, nothing did. The wedding day I envisioned would not have been possible without Katie and her team, and I am endlessly grateful that.

Ashley and Cameron were absolutely incredible wedding coordinators and truly went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, they were organized, attentive, and so supportive throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. They did an amazing job keeping me on track with everything I needed to do, gently reminding me of deadlines, details, and tasks so nothing ever slipped through the cracks. Their communication and consistency gave me so much peace of mind during what could have been a very overwhelming time. What really set them apart was how thoughtful and personalized their support was. They even sent me TikToks with ideas they thought I might like and went out of their way to browse stores and send me inspiration that matched my aesthetic perfectly. It made the planning process feel fun, creative, and so much more personal because they truly took the time to understand my vision. Beyond their professionalism, they made me feel so comfortable and supported every step of the way. I honestly feel like I gained two very good friends through this process. I always looked forward to our planning meetings—they made me laugh so much, made me feel at ease, and gave me such a strong sense of security throughout everything. On the wedding day, the moment I saw them, I immediately felt calm because I knew everything would be taken care of. And it was. They handled everything behind the scenes so seamlessly, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment without stress or worry. I truly cannot recommend Ashley and Cameron enough. They are not only incredibly professional and organized, but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. I will forever be grateful for them.

Welcome! I'm Ashley, a senior day-of coordinator and travel advisor with over a decade of experience turning complex wedding visions into completely stress-free realities. You've already done the hard work of planning your day. My job is to protect it, so on the one day it matters most, you're not the one managing vendors or chasing a timeline. My goal is to handle the logistics, timelines, and vendor wrangling so you can stay fully present for your most impactful moments.

If we could give Ashley Young more than five stars, we absolutely would. Hiring Ashley as our Day-of Coordinator was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Ashley wasn't just interested in checking boxes—she genuinely wanted to understand us, our vision, and what mattered most to us as a couple. She is an incredible listener, a phenomenal communicator, and someone who truly cares about the people she serves. Our wedding journey was filled with unexpected challenges, none of which were Ashley's doing. Every setback could have easily turned into a disaster, but Ashley never allowed us to feel alone. Instead of focusing on the problems, she always came prepared with thoughtful solutions and practical alternatives. She guided us through every obstacle with grace, professionalism, and an unwavering sense of calm. Then came what most couples would consider their worst nightmare—we had to change our wedding venue the week of our wedding. While we were trying to process the emotions that came with such a major change, Ashley immediately went to work. She coordinated with vendors, reorganized logistics, adjusted timelines, answered countless questions, and reassured us every step of the way. She never made us feel like we were asking too much, and she never once allowed the stress of the situation to become ours. Her confidence and experience gave us confidence when we needed it most. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything came together more beautifully than we could have imagined. It wasn't just a beautiful wedding—it was exactly what we needed it to be. There were heartfelt moments that brought tears to our eyes, joyful celebrations that filled the room with laughter, and countless memories that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Because Ashley handled everything behind the scenes so flawlessly, my husband and I were able to be completely present with each other, our family, and our friends instead of worrying about logistics. One of Ashley's greatest strengths is her ability to remain calm under pressure. Even when unexpected situations arise, she approaches everything with confidence, kindness, and professionalism. That calm presence extends to everyone around her and creates an atmosphere where you can truly enjoy your wedding day. What makes Ashley exceptional, however, isn't just her organization or attention to detail—it's her heart. She genuinely celebrates with her couples. She becomes invested in their happiness and goes above and beyond because she truly loves what she does. You can feel that in every interaction. Ashley gave us so much more than coordination. She gave us peace of mind. She gave us confidence during one of the most stressful weeks of our lives. Most importantly, she gave us the freedom to fully experience one of the greatest days of our lives without worrying about everything happening behind the scenes. Ashley will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. She is no longer someone we hired for our wedding—she is family. To any couple considering Ashley: don't hesitate. Book her. Trust her. Listen to her. She will advocate for you, support you, celebrate with you, and make sure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of—and maybe even more. Ashley, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. We will be forever grateful.
