Bree is so good at what she does - organized, incredibly seasoned, considerate, logical, a therapist when I needed it (reminding us of the bigger picture, of why we're here)... She's able to sense emotions & needs in her soon-to-be-married couples, and then to properly navigate situations and communicate with intention. "Day-of" Coordination isn't really a thing - they are more involved than just the "day-of", and I honestly wish I had her for more. Worth every penny. She knew so much about my venue, about many of the vendors we were working with, provided recs on ones we hadn't found yet, as well as recs on everything from napkin folds to meticulous day-of timeline decisions. She was the best vibe to have around on EVERY phone call, and most importantly, on the big day. And something many people don't tell you? Wedding Planners who are well known in the local market have more pull with vendors than the bride and groom - the B&G are one-time customers, the planner? Is not. So having one is HUGELY helpful in making it happen USE HITCHED IN KC for any of the services they offer - you won't be disappointed.

She was there for me from the start to helping how I should send out thank-you cards.

I can't recommend Decemeber from Soirée Event Designs high enough! We were planning our wedding…read moreceremony and events on our own up until a month and a half prior to the date. As the date became closer, we started to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the details. I received Decemeber's information from a friend, and from our first interaction, she was a true professional! Because we were less than two months from our wedding, Decemeber moved to schedule our face-to-face meeting quickly. The introduction discussion was well organized and she walked me through all of our vendor details, wedding party, must-haves, etc. My fiancé and I thought we had covered all our bases, but it was obvious after our discussion that there were many other details we needed to address. Decemeber made this feel like a breeze, and immediately helped wrap up finishing touches and assembled a "day-of" timeline. She began coordinating directly with our vendors, to eliminate the stress from the groom and me. Because of all the work Soirée did up front, the day of our wedding was well executed, relaxed and most importantly fun! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about who needed to be where and when. Decemeber had all of this outlined for us. She even found a new hairstylist two weeks before the wedding, after I decided to make a last minute change! From the first phone call with Decemeber to giving her a hug at the end of our wedding reception, she made wedding planning a stress-free process and our day was executed to perfection! (And if there was a hiccup, she handled it and we never knew) On top of her professionalism, Decemeber is a joy to work with to plan a major event.

Contacting Shots by Miko was the best decision we made for our event. She was flexible when we needed to make changes (even last minute changes). She was professional, witty, entertaining and so full of energy! Our 200 or so guests enjoyed the history of spirits she provided as well as the tasty drinks they were able to make at home along with her. In fact, several asked if we could have her back next year whether the event was virtual or in person! If you are in need of a mixologist and/or bartending services, I highly recommend Shots by Miko. You will not be disappointed by this small, local Kansas City business.

Great drinks, great service, and NO HEADACHE!!!…read more So prior to my wife and I getting married, we were thinking we would just handle the drink portion of our reception ourselves... that is until we got in contact w/ Shotsby Miko. Once we met with her, she outlined for us all the overhead and other parts of just serving drinks that we hadn't even previously imagined. Honestly, we were so focused on the wedding ceremony that the reception and all entailed was just an afterthought for us. It's not that she scared us, but she definitely opened our eyes of how unprepared we were. We were about a month out and were scrambling. Thankfully Miko was able to work with us and our budget, providing our reception a great selection of whiskeys for my family and friends as well as gins (YUCK) for here side (lol!). Not only that, but Miko made us a custom drink that matched exactly with our decor! I don't know HOW she did that! Who would think about a blue whiskey drink that wasn't full of sugar? I'll tell you who! SHOTS BY MIKO! Thanks again for making our wedding one we'll never forget!

My husband and I hired Theresa for our June 2026 wedding after several conversations about the…read moresupport she would provide throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. Before signing, we specifically discussed beginning work earlier than her typical timeline, receiving assistance with vendor sourcing and brainstorming, rehearsal coordination, timeline creation, light setup and teardown, and overall wedding management. Based on those conversations, we felt confident that she would be a strong logistical partner leading up to and during our wedding. Looking back, I believe the biggest challenge was not a lack of good intentions, but a gap between the responsibilities that were discussed and the level of execution we ultimately experienced. Throughout the planning process, Theresa frequently offered to take on additional responsibilities beyond what she now describes as wedding management alone. While I appreciated her willingness to help, many of those tasks were either not completed, completed late, or required significant follow-up from us. We raised concerns about organization and communication months before the wedding and requested a more streamlined process, including written action items and clearer follow-through after meetings. On the wedding week itself, there were several moments where we felt we were managing logistics that we expected our coordinator to be directing. Despite providing detailed documentation for décor placement and event setup, my husband and I, along with members of our family and wedding party, ended up completing a significant portion of the setup and coordination ourselves. Rehearsals lacked the level of leadership and direction we expected, vendor issues were not always proactively communicated, and several logistical details required intervention from us or our loved ones. What makes this experience difficult to summarize is that I genuinely believe Theresa cares deeply about her couples and wants them to have a great experience. However, good intentions alone are not enough in a role that requires strong organization, communication, leadership, and attention to detail under pressure. For couples considering working with Theresa, my recommendation would be to have very specific conversations about expectations, responsibilities, and boundaries from the beginning. Make sure every responsibility is clearly defined, documented, and understood by both parties. My experience was not that I misunderstood the services being offered. Rather, responsibilities were often expanded through conversations and offers of help, but the execution did not consistently match those expectations. I wish Theresa success as she continues to grow her business, and I hope she takes the lessons she has publicly shared about boundaries, capacity, and client expectations and uses them to strengthen the experience for future couples.

Absolutely love at first sight. I met with Michelle the morning after I got engaged, and from that…read moremoment on she guided us through every step leading up to the big day--and even beyond, tying up every last loose end with total ease. I went into wedding planning fully aware that I didn't know what I didn't know. I had no clear vision for colors or décor, but Michelle took the time to truly get to know us. She asked thoughtful questions, offered smart suggestions, and helped shape a wedding weekend that felt unique, intentional, and perfectly "us." It's no surprise Michelle has established herself as the best of the best in this industry. Not only does she have incredible relationships with top‑tier vendors, but you can tell they genuinely love working with her. She helped us navigate tricky communication moments, advocated for us in contract details we never would've caught, and even secured a few discounts simply because vendors were so grateful to have another one of her couples. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She double‑ and triple‑checked every chair number, every linen measurement, every tiny timeline moment. She caught typos on ceremony programs, swapped out a drape because it wasn't the exact right shade of green, and thought through our day in 15‑second increments. Nothing slipped past her. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was always available. She felt like immediate family--our group text was constantly buzzing with updates, questions, weather checks, and pep talks. I truly don't know how anyone plans a wedding without a full‑time planner, and I especially don't know how we would've done it with anyone other than Michelle. She's experienced, connected, intuitive, and has that rare eye that just gets it. I could not recommend her more.

If you are planning a wedding, read this FIRST!…read more I am a high functioning OCD type of person, and when we decided to get married with only 2 and a 1/2 months notice I went into overdrive planning. We identified a location and starting tasking friends and contacting vendors within a week, but I quickly started to get overwhelmed with the amount of effort. I was trying to juggling working full time, traveling for work and planning a wedding with next to no notice when my best friend begged me to find a day-of wedding coordinator. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me out and was sad to see the lack of reviews for wedding vendors. However, I did find one review for Buffee Ann and saw I could contact her for a quote. She quickly replied and when I decided not to move forward was sweet in her response to my poor life choices. Only a few days later I changed my mind and she encouraged me to skype with her before making another bad decision. I am so glad I did! From the start Buffee was energetic and encouraging while also allowing my strong personality to dictate as much as I could of the planning process. I have to say at the end of the day, hiring Buffee to help me out was the BEST IDEA EVER! If you're planning a wedding, get help from the very start. Buffee offered suggestions for vendors after we ran into challenges with a few of ours, and we realized she would have been a savior if we had used her from day 1. She worked with our bartending service to help resolve a difficult issue and found me someone to help with my hair (which received numerous compliments). Buffee even offered to add some much needed make-up to my very ungirly self. To say she was a fairy godmother would be an understatement. If you're looking for help with planning anything, go no further. Buffee Ann will take care of you, be your cheerleader, and provide excellent suggestions for local vendors.

But finding Buffee and Magical Moments was a huge stroke of luck. She helped us figure out exactly what we want. It was the perfect mix of making sure we got the wedding that we specifically wanted but she also knew when we were unsure about something and she always pushed us in the right direction. We both really cannot say enough good things about Buffee. She made our wedding, something both of us always dreamed of but figured we could never have, the most amazing day of our lives. We're an LGBT couple and especially living in the midwest you never really know how people are going to be or if they'll even want to help you, but Buffee and Magical Moments made our wedding seem so important to them and made sure we found the vendors who would best serve our needs. If anyone ever asks me for advice on wedding planning I'm sending them to Magical Moments immediately.
