There are simply not enough words in the English language to describe our appreciation for Tanya…read more She gave us the wedding of our dreams, and a truly perfect start to our marriage. Tanya's kindness, generosity, and talent has changed our lives and given us happy memories to cherish forever. She is a true professional and excellent at what she does. She took care of everything so I didn't have to worry about a thing. And not only is she a fantastic wedding planner, but an amazing human being too. We feel so lucky to know her and hope to enjoy a lifelong friendship with Tanya and her husband Eirik. They're wonderful people. If I tried to explain all the ways Tanya went above and beyond to pull off a perfect day for us, I'd be a novelist. Plus, words cannot do justice to what she did for us. Tons of our guests commented on/after the day about how competent and great our planner was and we couldn't agree more. Tanya even bustled my dress with safety pins on the sidewalk outside the restaurant we were about to make our grand entrance into after we discovered my seamstress didn't shorten it enough. We were about to cancel the first dance we'd spent $600 on lessons/choreography for and had been practicing daily for months. She was not about to let that happen, so up my dress her head and torso went, and she saved the day! Also, she somehow was able to figure out exactly what we wanted and needed for our wedding when we didn't even know ourselves. She is decisive which, as a super indecisive person, I really appreciate. She was happy to make decisions for me and just get stuff done. She is just so good at what she does! Not to mention a strong, badass warrior. We are forever grateful to Tanya for giving us one perfect, happy day during a season of our life filled with grief and sadness. She gave us an oasis of happiness in the desert of struggle we've been stuck in, and fond memories to sustain us forever. Tanya has changed our life and we love her dearly.

DO NOT HIRE TANYA!! This is difficult to write, but our experience with Tanya started out great and…read morethen took a turn. She was recommended by our venue and she had worked with them for years. Our first calls with her were all positive and we trusted she was an honest person. When she told us she was going through major health issues, we were empathetic and told her to take care of herself and we'd be in touch later. In the next couple of months, we received an email from a temporary assistant she hired telling us Tanya was in the hospital and then some odd details that she was spending a lot of money on her credit cards and wasn't herself. We again decided to wait to reach out and looked into other coordinators in the meantime in case she wouldn't be able to work our wedding. A couple weeks go by, we gently reached out to ask how she was doing and if she still wanted to or was able to work our wedding. We even offered to let her keep some of the deposit money for the time she spent with us. She never responded. We waited and left a couple voicemails and sent a text. Still nothing. No email response, her website was no longer active. We panicked, hoping she's okay and hoping we could find someone in the short time we had to replace her. We hired someone else because we were unable to hear from or confirm anything with Tanya. She finally reached out in a mass email to all clients apologizing for everything and claiming her number and email were both compromised somehow and her number was taken by an escort service. Weird excuse after weird excuse. We responded to that email and still received no response. Our venue was unable to reach her. At this point, it has been months and she has STOLEN OUR MONEY!! I am honestly shocked at the dishonesty and how she has the audacity to steal from us and not respond after we were so understanding and kind for so long. We are paying for our wedding ourselves and this was a devastating thing to have to deal with. DO NOT HIRE TANYA! This was the biggest mistake we made.

Working with Hannah from KB Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!…read moreFrom the very beginning, she brought such calm energy, professionalism, and expertise to the entire planning process. She made everything feel organized, seamless, and stress-free. We always felt like we were in the best hands. One of the moments that stands out most was during our wedding speeches, when a private home behind our venue happened to be hosting a quinceañera, complete with a full high school marching band (tuba and all!). Our venue said this had never happened in over a decade of weddings, and just as that moment of panic set in, Hannah stepped in with total calmness and confidence. Within minutes, she had seamlessly ushered in our guests who were sitting outside to inside, turning it into a more intimate, cozy setting for everyone, and it ended up being even more special for our speeches and first dances. She coordinated with the hotel staff so quickly and had everything back in motion, by the time our DJ started playing again, the doors reopened and we couldn't hear the high school band at all. It's now a funny story we'll always laugh about, but in the moment, it was Hannah's grace, quick thinking, and professionalism that completely saved the day. She truly handled it with such urgency and ease that only a true expert could. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we owe so much of that to Hannah. She's talented, kind, and genuinely cares about her couples. We can't recommend her highly enough! -- Madison & Brandon

We did not want to have a traditional by-the-book wedding and she understood what we were going for right away. Creatively we knew it was a match and she was the clear choice if we did not want a cookie-cutter wedding. She has a great relationship with vendors and can tell you who's the best to deal with. This was a great help as you can get taken advantage out there as soon as you say the word wedding. On top of recommending good people - she was willing to work with the new vendors that we brought in and did an incredible job coordinating the whole day. We did not make her job easy. Our wedding had a LOT of moving parts, personal touches and things to juggle. She nailed it. I can honestly say that I handed the whole thing off to her and my day was perfect. I MEAN PERFECT. I am sure there was a ton of drama around the day but we did not feel any of the pressure. She executed our vision perfectly. Cannot say enough good things. Just hire her. Love her. Want to do it all over again.

Selecting the right coordinator can be a nerve wrecking process, but for us, the reviews don't lie…read more We needed someone who can help us with planning, select the best vendors in the region, and be there to run the show for us on our big day, while staying within our budget. Brenda fit our needs completely during the short time frame that we were planning, was super communicative, had previously worked with almost all our vendors, and raised little details that we didn't even consider. We really couldn't have put together the amazing wedding that we had if we didn't have Brenda's help. Her coordination on wedding day truly made the entire event run seamlessly and stress-free. Thanks, Brenda!

Note that this is a review for the 12-Week Wedding Planning & Day-Of Coordination service…read more My wife and I recently had a wedding with Brenda as our day-of coordinator and we could not have been happier with the experience. Since we were doing a significant amount of wedding planning ourselves, we did not intend to have a day-of coordinator. However, many of our vendors asked who we would be using and after some consideration, we decided to invest in one and we are so happy we did. Brenda is very professional, organized, and assertive, which are all integral to being a great coordinator. From our first call, she demonstrated her knowledge about how to run a smooth wedding by asking us details and questions we had not even considered. She uses Honeybook, has automated emails, and remembers even the smallest details, showing how strong her systems are in place. And most of all she is assertive! We were able to hand off planning to her about two weeks before and things the day of went smoothly with our limited involvement. Considering the 12-week package, Brenda has extremely involved and communicative from the moment we started planning. We had many email communications, in addition to phone calls and site visits/rehearsals to ensure everything was smooth. It put us at ease to be alongside someone so experienced. All of these aspects allowed us to be able to soak in the day as much as we could. We are both very happy with her services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding.
