Kd Events

e put together a beautiful ceremony for us. Hitting on all the things we wanted for our big day! We are lucky to have worked with her and hope many others choose to do the same!

s-free. She is incredibly kind, warm, professional, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. We hired Kelly as both our officiant and day-of coordinator for our wedding in Traverse City, and she exceeded every expectation. She performed the most beautiful ceremony & our family and friends are still talking about how personal and meaningful it was. On top of that, she coordinated all of our vendors, oversaw setup, and handled every detail behind the scenes so we could simply enjoy our day. Her assistant Megan was also the sweetest!!  In the months leading up to the wedding, Kelly took the time to have multiple phone calls and Zoom meetings with us to make sure every detail and every part of our vision was understood. Because of her preparation and dedication, everything came together seamlessly. I truly cannot recommend Kelly and her team enough. She went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful she was such an important part of our wedding. We had the best day of our lives, and so much of that was because of Kelly’s hard work, care, and genuine love for what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel completely at ease while creating a beautiful, unforgettable wedding day, Kelly is the one.

ng to end, and we can say without hesitation that our wedding would not have been what it was without her. Kelly is the kind of planner you want in your corner during one of the biggest and most emotional days of your life. She is incredibly organized, thoughtful, responsive, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, but beyond that, she genuinely cares about her couples. We never felt like we were simply another wedding on her calendar. She knew what mattered to us, remembered the little details, advocated for us when things became complicated, and continually made us feel like someone competent and trustworthy was looking out for us. There were so many moving pieces surrounding our wedding, from the chairlift and mountaintop ceremony logistics to transportation, setup, vendors, timing, weather concerns, reception details, and countless last-minute decisions. Kelly handled everything with such confidence and professionalism. Any time something unexpected came up, she was already thinking three steps ahead. She helped troubleshoot problems, communicated with the venue and vendors, kept everything moving, and protected us from so much of the stress happening behind the scenes. One thing we especially appreciated was how strongly Kelly advocated for us. She was never afraid to ask questions, clarify details, or push for something to be corrected when necessary. At the same time, she always remained professional and focused on finding a solution. Having someone who understood our vision and could speak up for us when we were overwhelmed was invaluable. Kelly also served as our officiant, and we are so happy she did. Having someone who had been so involved in our wedding and who knew us, our story, and what the day meant to us made the ceremony feel that much more personal. It was incredibly special having someone we trusted so much standing up there with us. Her on-site team was also wonderful. Everyone was kind, attentive, professional, and constantly working behind the scenes to make sure things were where they needed to be and that the day flowed smoothly. It was obvious that Kelly had built a team that shared her standards and genuinely cared about making the day special for us. Most importantly, because Kelly was there, we were actually able to be present at our wedding. Instead of spending the day worrying about timelines, vendors, setup, or what needed to happen next, we could enjoy ourselves and trust that she had it handled. That feeling is priceless. Kelly went so far above and beyond what we ever could have expected from a wedding planner. She was our planner, officiant, advocate, problem-solver, calming presence, and honestly one of the most important people involved in making our wedding happen. We will forever be grateful to her and her team. If you are considering hiring Kelly, do it. Truly. She is exceptional at what she does, she cares deeply about her couples, and you will be incredibly thankful to have her in your corner. Five stars does not feel like enough. 🤍

d when it came to the rehearsal and day of - she was worth her weight in gold. She communicated with all of our vendors leading up to the wedding, which was a huge relief. She conducted our rehearsal like a pro - totally seamlessly. Her team set up all the decor and were so incredibly helpful on our special day. Thank you Kelly!!!!

n officiant, but also everything that was needed from us as a couple (like how to apply and obtain and marriage license). On our wedding day her positive attitude and extensive knowledge put everyone at ease. Her elegant delivery of the script really brought the whole ceremony together! Thank you Kelly for helping make our big day so special! 

my husband and me feel comfortable in front of a crowd, especially my husband who does not love being the center of attention. Our ceremony was completely customized to us. We were able to choose what we wanted to say, and Kelly provided a beautiful ceremony template that tied everything together perfectly. We included a candle unity ceremony and a few elements that were a little out of the norm, and Kelly incorporated everything so seamlessly that it still felt like a traditional wedding ceremony. She truly went above and beyond for us. Megan was our day of coordinator, and I cannot say enough good things about her. She made sure every detail was handled. Any problems that came up were taken care of without me ever being bothered or stressed. When timelines needed to shift because dinner arrived earlier than expected, I was not worried for a moment. Kelly and Megan were already on top of it. They also scheduled Zoom calls leading up to the wedding to go over timelines and remind me of details I had missed or still needed to plan for. Kelly even created a table layout for me, which was incredibly helpful. From the first consultation, they felt like friends. As a bride who worries about everything, my wedding day went so smoothly, and that is entirely because of Kelly and Megan. They made the day more enjoyable, stress free, and truly special. I am so grateful for everything they did for us.

y truly created a ceremony special and unique to us. It was our guests favorite part of our day! My husband and I would highly recommend Kelly for your special day. 

effortless and personal, guiding us with clarity and warmth every step of the way. Her communication was prompt and thoughtful, and she truly took the time to understand our story and reflect it beautifully in the ceremony. On the big day, Kelly brought a calm, joyful energy that set the perfect tone. Our guests are still talking about how heartfelt and meaningful the ceremony was. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers with grace and sincerity, Kelly is the one to have. We’re so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding!

ing with Kelly to create the perfect ceremony script, and it was evident how important it was to her that our vision was brought to life just how we wanted it. The ceremony itself was so special thanks to Kelly. Could not recommend her enough for anyone looking to get married in Northern Michigan!

course, the ceremony, but she also crafted a ceremony that felt so unique and true to us as a couple, even though we went with more scripted vows for the crowd. Kelly took the time to sit down with us, on several occasions, to ensure that we had our most ideal ceremony planned out to a T and communicated everything among vendors, along with timelines, so that we really had as little to worry about as possible during our wedding weekend. Kd Events truly made our day so incredibly special and there is no one else that we would have marry us if given the choice again and again!!

solutely recommend her as an officiant. Seriously delightful!

ommunication and organizational skills are amazing! When hiccups did occur on our big day (as they often do) she jumped right into action and solved the problem. She kept everyone in line and stayed focused on what needed to be done. Beyond being incredibly proficient at her job, she is incredibly kind and helped put us at ease when any wedding day nerves did arise. Even our other vendors and guests made comments to us about how amazing she was. Hire Kelly for any planning/coordination/officiating needs-- you won't regret it!

She was so organized and purposeful, helping us craft the exact ceremony that would be meaningful to us. She is thoughtful and respects cultural practices, meaningful rituals, and each couple’s uniqueness. Because of her event planning experience, she anticipates what would make the day run more smoothly and communicates this with other vendors. Highly recommend!

erything to make it unique. We loved working with Kelly and enjoyed all she had to offer.

delivery and a kindness that shines through in her words and interactions with others. She was professional and prompt in responding to us. We are so glad we found her and highly recommend her to others for weddings big and small.

summary of our relationship thus far and the reading she performed, she really did a great job making a beautiful ceremony. Kelly has also worked with our venue before, so she knew the quirks of the site and her experience helped everything flow nicely. I'm not sure if she's only in TC area, but if you're in need of officiating services we cannot recommend Kelly enough. Thank you again!

without her assistance! Not only was she our coordinator but she also officiated or wedding! My aunt who is retired from the wedding industry said Kelly was the best coordinator she has ever worked with so that speaks volumes!!

efore mine! I got married on 11/11/23, and from the start Kelly was so incredible. She is extremely professional, personable, and made our ceremony an absolute dream. I was blown away with her script that she wrote for our ceremony and also worked so well with our vendors. She made sure to mention all of the small things, and made everyone laugh, cry, and truly captured our love. All of our guests absolutely loved Kelly and mentioned how amazing she is!! Thank you Kelly!!

kage. Throughout the whole process of writing our ceremony script, Kelly was quick with communication, offered helpful suggestions, and her attention to detail was something my husband and I really appreciated. She is professional, but still kept it lighthearted and fun! She wrote truly beautiful words for our ceremony, and we now have a wonderful memory that will last a lifetime. Our family kept saying all evening how heartfelt our ceremony was. Kelly is the best! I highly recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding in Traverse City or the surrounding Northern Michigan area. Thank you Kelly!!!

sincerity were noticed by all of our guests, many noting how thoughtful and heartfelt the ceremony was. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to marry us. You should definitely consider working with Kelly!

100% recommend her to anyone in the area. Thank you for helping us make our wedding day special!

us. From our first call we knew she would be a great fit for our day. We received compliments over and over again from our guests on how beautiful the ceremony was and how our “officiant” did a wonderful job. I would hire her 100x over and recommend to anyone getting married in the area, hire Kelly. You will feel as though she is truly apart of your day and cares about making your ceremony special.

king for something fairly simple to give us that wedding ceremony experience. Throughout the planning process Kelly was responsive, professional, organized, an absolute PLEASURE to work with. She had such a warm energy that made us feel super comfortable in our choice right from the very beginning. We wanted to keep our ceremony quick, light, and fun but not sacrifice the emotional elements and Kelly’s script options delivered on just that. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple through phone and Zoom calls and even had us both write our own personal portion of the vows that we had kept secret from each other until the ceremony when she incorporated them into her script. Our whole experience with Kelly was super laid back, personal, and most importantly, fun! We highly, highly recommend reaching out to Kelly if you are looking for an officiant!

your day goes off without a hitch. She goes above and beyond! Thank you, Kelly! -Haley & Travsis

is a delight to work with.
