Having a day-of coordinator was a must of mine because I get overwhelmed easily. Jazmyn was amazing from the beginning. She has great communication, asks all the right questions ( questions we never even thought of) and offers great suggestions. I probably would’ve given up on the wedding if it wasn’t for her lol. We had our caterer drop out 2 weeks before the wedding and she had a new caterer booked with the same menu and same price range in less than an hour, and the food was great. On wedding day, she was organized and made sure everyone knew where to be at what time, and had everything set up perfectly after the room flip. I don’t think I can talk her up enough.

We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

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.

It's been two months since our wedding day, and I still cannot get over how incredibly amazing and wonderful the team at Whatever is Lovely was for my husband and I throughout our entire experience. If you are in the Kansas City area or beyond (we were planning from Denver, Colorado) I cannot recommend this team enough. I would give them ten stars if I could. My coordinator Meranda was like a trusted friend, helpful sister, and wise-beyond-expectations consultant for everything. I had no worries or stresses on my big day thanks to she and Rachel being on site to do anything that was needed - even reading my mind and my mother's mind several times throughout the day. Because of this team our wedding day was prepared, organized, stress-free, and ENJOYABLE. I love being able to say that. Thank you, Meranda!

We believe wedding planning should feel exciting, organized, and truly enjoyable. Our approach is rooted in thoughtful details, clear communication, and genuine care for our couples. Whether you need full-service planning, partial support, or day-of coordination, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to create a seamless experience that allows you to stay present, confident, and stress-free while celebrating one of the most meaningful days of your life.

For our wedding, we utilized very few additional services as my career requires me to plan and host events/dinners for 900 guests. So I went into the wedding preparation pretty confident with my capabilities to pull it off on my own. I soon discovered that I needed some additional oversight. Paige and Wild Arrow Events to the rescue! Paige was on it. She assisted with our website, program, calendar of events and gift tags for content, verbiage and layout. It is so easy to overlook misspellings, alignment, punctuation, etc. when you look at your creations for too long. She caught things that were very blatant and would have been embarrassing if they went out to my guests. She made wonderful suggestions that I never would have thought of ask guest to be seated by a certain time, menu details, parking details, etc. While I have experience in events, not so much on weddings. Paige knows the ins and outs. We had our wedding at the Elms hotel in Excelsior Springs a historic and beautiful hotel, but there are some different things to consider at this type of venue. Plus, we also did a brunch wedding, while wonderful, is not as common. So the communication and flow really needed to be clearPaige was a step ahead of at all times. Paige also assisted with coordinating our decor and those little touches of welcome bags, cake boxes and guest gifts. I am so pleased with her services and her attention to the tiniest of details as that what made the difference to us and our guests. She will tackle the largest aspects of your wedding but also the smallest. It was a comfort to have her professionalism leading up to the wedding and the day of. Best wishes in your wedding and marriage journey to all those who may be reading this. The ceremony and celebration goes by fast! Soak it all in! LAP

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!

Your wedding deserves to be a true reflection of you. At Ease Events KC delivers stress-free, intentional, and beautifully executed weddings — unapologetically, authentically, bold. From micro weddings and elopements to full-service celebrations, we handle every detail with care and creativity so you can focus on the joy of your day.

Hiring Laura and her team was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I truly cannot say enough good things about Laura, Morgan, and Audi. As typical brides do, I originally thought I would be totally fine planning and organizing my wedding day myself. I then realized I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I also realized that I didn’t want to spend my wedding day worrying about timelines and whether everything was going smoothly. When I first reached out to Laura she responded so quickly, and during our very first meeting (before I had even officially hired her!) she was already giving me helpful tips and ideas. She is SO organized — spreadsheets, timelines, even a list of things to remember to pack for the wedding day. She answered all my questions, calmed my stress more than once, and worked so hard to track down THREE disco balls for our dance floor. She immediately understood the vibe I was going for and supported me through the whole planning process. I can't even gush more about how wonderful our wedding day was. On the wedding day, Laura was literally everywhere. My whole family kept commenting on how amazing she was, running around making sure everything was happening on time and going smoothly. I didn't stress for a single minute, because I knew everything was in good hands. Her assistant Morgan was the GOAT. She stayed by my side basically the entire night. At one point a family member had me a little rattled and she calmly escorted them away and then came right back to check on me. She even helped me pee in my dress — which honestly tells you everything about the level of support she gave me that night! At the end of the night I literally cried because I was so happy and everything was so perfect. Our wedding day would not have been the same without Laura and her team. I would recommend her to any bride — whether you’re nervous and want someone firmly in your corner, or you simply want to relax and know someone amazing is making sur ethe cake arrives on time.

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.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

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

Throughout the planning process, Aquina and her team brought years of experience when I had ideas and helped me execute them better than I could’ve ever imagined! On the weekend of our wedding, Aquina and her team took care of every detail from the rehearsal dinner to the late night pizza drop off. Her services are the best investment and should definitely be one of the first vendors you book!

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.
