My daughter and her (now) husband had the most joyous and memorable wedding on June 6th. What made the event so much better was having Jazmyn Pedersen guide the day so we could focus on the celebration. From the moment we met Jazmyn, my daughter and I knew she was kind hearted, highly organized, experienced, and easy to work with. I truly can't imagine the wedding planning and wedding day without her expertise and organization. She had such a calm demeanor on the wedding day, even when the rentals showed up an hour late. Her pricing is very reasonable and definitely worth the expense. Want a lower stress wedding day? Then contact Hustle and Bustle to set up a meeting! You will be so happy you did.

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are to Breanna and Molly at Wild Rose Planning & Events. Planning my daughter’s destination wedding in Ireland was no small task, but from the very beginning, they made us feel completely supported and at ease. Their attention to detail was simply incredible. Whether someone needed eye drops, a last-minute banner had to be made, or the venue needed setting up, nothing was ever too much to ask. Breanna and Molly seemed to be everywhere at once, always anticipating what was needed before anyone even had to ask. Because of their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, our guests were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of such a special celebration. By the end of the wedding, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room, including Breanna and Molly. That speaks volumes about the love, heart, and dedication they pour into what they do. We could not have asked for better partners in bringing my daughter’s dream wedding to life, and we will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend Wild Rose Planning & Events highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin?! Whatever is Lovely is by far THE BEST decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. I picked partial planning but they truly went above and beyond - it almost felt like I got the full planning services with the amount of love and dedication they bring to the table. Rach and her team were always so quick to respond whenever I had questions - which usually happened at like midnight when I couldn’t sleep. My entire planning process and wedding day was done thoroughly, thoughtfully and intentionally. They brought my visions and inspo pics to life. I feel like our entire wedding exceeded my pinterest board inspirations. I had many family members and guests approach me talking about how impressed they were with my wedding planner and vendor team. We last minute had to change to a weather / rain back up plan - Rach and her team kept me calm and helped create the best plan possible. The rain plan ended up being even better than the original plans. I have so much love for Whatever is Lovely and I wish I could get married every weekend if it meant I got to work with them again. They coordinated the smallest of details that I would have never thought of myself. Rach and her team also care about building lasting and genuine connections with their couples. They started as a wedding planner but I truly can call them my friends!! Book this team - you will not regret it!

Great experience with Union. First off, they have a beautiful space that really encompasses the vibe of downtown KC. But their service was also great to match. We wish we had gone with the full planning package instead of just the month-of-package, because once they started getting involved in our plan about 60 days out, things really got a lot easier, so I would highly suggest using them for your planning. They worked great with all of our vendors and all of our guests were impressed with their team!

Every event is an opportunity to transform visions into reality. My goal is always to exceed expectations and create experiences that are both unique and unforgettable.

We worked with Marissa Sartory for our Napa Valley wedding in July 2024. She truly went above and beyond with the planning and coordinating of our wedding! We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue with different vendors and lots of outside requests for the day of and she was so open to different ideas and was always super helpful in getting answers back to us quickly! On the day, she executed a truly beautiful wedding! We had a small hiccup with our DJ *right before the reception* and Marissa had my back completely, making sure we stuck to our planned timeline and executed the vision we had. Everything went according to plan and we were right on time the whole day. Marissa was so attentive to making sure all the details were taken care of and constantly checked in with us to keep up with any changes we wanted to implement.

Words cannot even begin to express our gratitude for Abbie, Sofi, and the entire team at Philosofi Celebrations. From start to finish, they poured their hearts into making our wedding absolutely perfect—and it showed in every single detail. Abbie, our lead planner, was a dream to work with: organized, calm, professional, and most importantly, deeply invested in us as a couple.

They lifted all of the stress off our shoulders and gave us the space to enjoy the lead-up to our wedding with peace of mind.

Ally was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the moment I had my first meeting with her she made me feel calm, confident, and completely ready for everything ahead. As a bride, there are so many moving parts and emotions, but because of Ally, I was able to be fully present and soak in every moment.. Her organization skills are beyond impressive. Every detail was thought through, every vendor knew exactly what to do, and the entire timeline flowed seamlessly from beginning to end. It was so clear that she has incredible relationships with vendors and that they trust and respect her which made everything run effortlessly. But what meant the most to me was how much she truly cared. Ally didn’t just show up to do a job she showed up for us! She was there for every little thing, even helping pin up my dress and lace it up when I needed it most (a true lifesaver!). In moments when things needed direction, she stepped in with the perfect balance of kindness and assertiveness. Because of Ally, I truly felt like a bride.

With over a decade of experience and 400+ weddings celebrated, we know that planning your dream day doesn't always happen during a standard 9-to-5. At Confetti Events, we specialize in crafting bespoke, effortless weddings that truly reflect your vision and personality. To ensure we are always there when you need us most, we offer dedicated late-night office hours, making us accessible to answer any planning questions as they arise. We are more than just your planners; we are your bestie guides through your bridal era. From immersive design to seamless coordination, we're here to make your dream day effortlessly magical!

We were incredibly lucky to have Whitney from Confetti Events as our wedding planner. Beyond being a close friend, she brought an exceptional level of professionalism, creativity, and calm to our wedding in August. We had a very specific and layered vision—a hacienda-inspired aesthetic set in the forests of Oregon, with elements that also complemented a golf course setting—and she executed it beautifully. She translated a complex idea into a cohesive, intentional design that felt warm, elevated, and completely “us.” What truly set her apart were the thoughtful details and her ability to make things happen, even at the last minute. When we decided we wanted an ice cream vendor close to the wedding, she made it happen seamlessly. She also incorporated deeply personal family touches, including honoring our “legacy of love,” in ways that felt meaningful and never performative. Those moments meant so much to us and our families. From planning through the wedding day, she handled logistics effortlessly, coordinated vendors with confidence, and anticipated needs before they arose. Because of her, everything ran smoothly and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Hiring Confetti Events was one of the best decisions we made. Whitney balances creativity with flawless execution and leads with genuine heart. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! Mariel Johnny

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marissa as our wedding coordinator for our big day at Paradise Ridge Winery on May 18, 2024. From the very beginning, we knew Marissa would be a great fit for us. She was incredibly responsive, understood our budget, and anticipated our needs, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her kind and caring nature made it easy for us to build rapport with her, and she quickly gained our trust by offering thoughtful suggestions to help us stay within our budget while still making our wedding everything we hoped for. Marissa did a fantastic job explaining the planning timeline, which allowed us to see what was coming months in advance. This helped us stay on track and be well-prepared for upcoming deadlines. She worked closely with a variety of vendors and gave us with insights and recommendations that aligned with our preferences and our wedding theme/vibe. When we faced a small issue with a vendor, Marissa was there to advocate for us, finding quick solutions that relieved us of unnecessary stress. One aspect of working with Marissa that we loved most was her openness to our ideas, especially when we wanted incorporate cultural elements into our wedding. Whether it was the late-night ramen bar, hand-folded origami flowers, or engraved chopsticks as gift favors, Marissa ensured these touches were integrated tastefully and seamlessly. She respected our vision and made sure everything looked elegant and fun. On the day of our wedding, Marissa went out of her way to show up for us and make the experience unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful for everything Marissa did for us, and we will undoubtedly recommend her to all our friends and family.
