Kirstie is exceptional at keeping all the ducks in a row without being overbearing or micromanaging. As a vendor, I really appreciate that. As far as how she gives her clients what they want, never once did the Bride and Groom have "Deer in the headlights" face. That means Kirstie made sure the B&G were fully educated on what to expect. Kirstie is awesome, and I look forward to referring her, and working with her in the future! :)

I highly recommend hiring Kirstie of Simply Wed!…read more Kirstie was the "day of" coordinator for my wedding at the Golden Gardens Bathhouse in July 2012. She went above and beyond the "day of" role and was the best money we spent on our wedding. We communicated frequently the months leading up to the wedding, she ran our ceremony rehearsal the night before, and she worked a 15+ hour day the day of the wedding making sure everything was just how I envisioned it. She also provided a wedding day timeline and contacted vendors for me, among many other tasks I don't have room to list here. I was a type-A (read, anal) bride with a very clear vision and a tiny budget by Seattle standards ($15,000). Kirstie was extremely professional, prompt, and easy to work with before the wedding and during. Although she was planning many weddings at one time, she made me feel like mine was the only one. I picked out several of my vendors myself becuase I knew exactly what I wanted, but Kirstie gave suggestions for the ones I didn't have, and they were all amazing! She has great connections. The set-up for my wedding was tough. There is nothing at Golden Gardens so everything had to be brought in and set up the day of (and taken down and cleaned, which Kirstie did). I also had a lot of DIY details that I wanted arranged a very specific way. Kirstie and her crew worked a crazy, long day arranging flowers, setting up tables, hanging decor, getting everyone in order, etc. Your wedding day is such a blur that you need to spend time enjoying your guests, your new spouse, and just enjoying the moment. You don't want to worry about decor, music, food, etc. You will not be disappointed with Kirstie - she can do as much or as little as you want and need depending on your budget and vision.

I knew that I wanted an amazing wedding but had no idea where to start...luckily, Tamara was there every step of the way. In terms of design, she was able to help me form a vision and bring it to life in a way that was even better than I imagined!! I cried when I saw the final florals for our wedding!! Outside of her impeccable taste, Tamara and her team are a delight to work with. They communicated directly with many of our vendors and kept everything organized, allowing me and my partner to actually enjoy wedding planning! In fact, we miss it and working with Tamara!! On the weekend of my wedding, Tamara and her team dealt with everything and I was fully able to relax and enjoy the event. They set up the ceremony, coordinated vendors and even cleaned up! Because of their help, my wedding was probably the best weekend of my life :') In addition to being AMAZING at design and florals, Tamara is also very business-savvy. She has great connections in the industry, connected us with the most talented people AND helped us get the best deals with vendors, constantly trying to help us save money so that we could get the biggest bang for our buck! Looking back on it, hiring Tamara was the best decision I made for my wedding. I couldn't have done it any other way and I 10000% recommend Tamara and her team for your wedding. Your celebration will be amazing AND you will come away with a friend for life :)

We were fortunate to have worked with Tamara and her team for our wedding 3 years ago and she was the single best decision that we made for our stress levels. She is a trusted advisor in your corner as you begin the journey to plan a wedding all the way through to the big day itself! The things that stand out about Tamara are her kindness, expertise, mastery of her craft, and on top of all of that her extraordinary positivity and warmth. Tamara would take direction and execute on every detail of the vision that we had, handled every question or worry we had with ease and professionalism, she truly is the best at what she does! She was exceedingly kind, patient, and understanding as we struggled at times to navigate and make the most basic of decisions as EVERY wedding couple does when it is their first time trying to do all this. Not only did Tamara put our minds at ease at all times, she truly guided us through every aspect of wedding planning and took care of so many details and tasks, nothing was too big or too small for her to take on or handle. We could not have been in better hands. If she was on it, it was as good as done! Her ability to catch any message, passing thought, question, or request is second to none! Above all, she went the extra mile to make our wedding a beautiful success - both in the leadup and the day of - directing vendors and managing stressful last minute pivots and day of changes when we had rain in our forecast, all the while coordinating everything with a smile on her face. We only have Tamara to thank for the best wedding and day of our lives - that we will look back on for the rest of our lives knowing it was planned and executed to absolute perfection. A million thanks for everything!

Rebecca took…read morea handful of Pinterest pictures and somehow managed to see our vision and bring it to a dreamy, romantic reality. She made sure our wedding day was flawless and--dare I say-- enjoyable and stress-free! She was assertive, confident, and one of the most genuinely enjoyable people you'll ever meet. From day one, she made us relax and ENJOY the process of planning. She gave us a curated list of wonderful vendors to match our style--in every area, from venue to catering to photographer--everything. We could NOT have imagined an easier planning process nor a more perfect day. (In fact, Rebecca was so incredible that it took a concerted effort to cut this review down so that people would actually read it!)

A "Stress-Free" Exceptional Wedding Planning Experience…read more This review is a long overdue post! We had the pleasure of working with New Creations Wedding/Rebecca Grant for not one, but TWO of our weddings. We had initially planned our wedding overseas but had to cancel the wedding due to COVID in 2020. I reached out to a dozen wedding planners in the local area, with no luck finding someone who could help us plan a COVID-friendly wedding. Rebecca, however, quickly accepted the task. Unfortunately, that plan also changed when further COVID restrictions limited the number of guests. We decided to book Rebecca to plan our beautiful elopement on Whidbey Island and had her marry us. She even managed to tell the weather to give us a gorgeous day in October!!! One year later, and with a baby on the way, we decided it might be a good idea to try to have a wedding celebration - FINALLY. We had zero ideas of what we wanted but knew we needed Rebecca to take over all details because our focus was planning for the baby. Rebecca made sure we got as many decisions out of the way as possible early on to have a wedding-free postpartum period. When it came closer to the wedding, this is where I witnessed her magic in finalizing every detail, communicating clearly with every vendor, and making the wedding finally happen. Additionally, she gracefully managed our guest count, which went from 100-130 to 175. I barely had time to spend a minute of my mind-space on the wedding because of our new family and often questioned myself, "why was I planning a wedding?" but man, did Rebecca deliver the most stunning, chic, and fun party. The circumstances around our wedding experience were not common, planning a wedding while trying to raise a new baby, but I would not hesitate to hire Rebecca again. There are so many details about a wedding that you don't even think about until you are in it, when you realize, "I'm so happy I hired Rebecca to take care of this." Rebecca is someone you can trust to get the work done; you will be wowed by what she delivers.

Wedding Magic: Seamless, Stunning, and Simply Perfection!…read more Working with *It's Your Day Events* is an absolute *dream*! They are hands-down one of the best wedding planning teams in Seattle, and every experience I've had with them has been nothing short of phenomenal. Special kudos to Ashley and Christina, two of the most talented and professional planners I've ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. Their attention to detail, creative vision, and ability to keep everything running smoothly make them a joy to work with and a *must-have* for any wedding. I've had the incredible honor of working with them on two breathtaking celebrations: -Allen and Maggie's Enchanting Waterfront Wedding at the iconic Edgewater Hotel--a Taylor Swift-inspired celebration that was nothing short of magical. Every detail was meticulously thought out, and the coastal elegance was balanced perfectly with whimsical, personalized touches that made the day truly one-of-a-kind. -Nancy and Brant's Pastel Coastal Nuptials at the gorgeous Semiahmoo Resort--an event so stunning, it was featured in Washington Wedding Day Magazine' The pastel tones, delicate details, and seamless flow of the day were awe-inspiring, and it was clear just how much care and love Ashley and Christina had invested into making the couple's vision come to life. Whenever I partner with It's Your Day Events, I feel an overwhelming sense of *confidence*. They have a knack for anticipating every need, and any hiccup that might arise on the big day is always handled with *grace, poise, and efficiency*. This *peace of mind* is priceless--allowing me to focus on my work while knowing the event will unfold beautifully. Most importantly, it allows the brides and grooms to fully immerse themselves in the joy and magic of their wedding day. If you're looking for planners who are not only passionate about what they do but also deliver *exceptional results* every single time, look no further than It's Your Day Events. Ashley, Christina, and their team are in a league of their own, and I can't recommend them enough!

Megan Bird - HOLY BUCKETS! I am going to have so much more…read moreto post after our upcoming April wedding. But in the meantime there are things that have to be stated about this amazing women. From the beginning Megan has been one of the most reassuring and comforting things about wedding planning. If not the only thing at times. Megan paid for herself at our very first meeting with our location and catering vendor. She saw something in the signed contract that entailed us to a better food package. Not just better food selections but more of it. When the vendor said it was a typo and they would fix it she said 'nope this is the contract that you had them sign. Typo or not you need to stick to this, they are entitled to this food at this price.' At that point in wedding planning i was so beyond exhausted i absolutely would have just rolled over and let the vendor adjust the signed contract. She stuck to her guns and we got the benefit of it. Woo Hoo We have the Week of Package, which really means that she takes over several weeks out. Following up with our vendors and asking me questions about details I never would have considered. Megan as been available for all of the silly questions and concerns that we have had and is prompt in her email response. She is able to offer suggestions on everything, babysitters in the area, vendors, when to do things, how to include family wishes along side our own, how to get Dicks Cheese Burgers to your wedding reception and everything in between. Megan is so friendly and easy to work with, she is prompt and organized. You just want to be her friend. I can not imagine getting through this wedding process without her, and its not even over yet. Wedding Planning Advice Number One - Get yourself a planner Number Two - Get Megan Keller MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME So, the wedding has happened. It was all smooth and amazing. Megan made everything work. As I was standing in my dress with my flowers about to walk down the isle I turned to my mom and said 'how would we have done this without Megan?' She said 'We wouldn't!' She was so right! Megan did so many things that made all the difference that I didn't know about. She was the first one there and the last one out. She loaded gifts and flowers and all kinds of things into car at the end of the evening. I can't not imagine that this day would have worked without her and we are so glad that we had her along for the ride!

I started my quest to plan my own wedding in early 2010 and realized that, being an anxiety-prone control freak, I should probably seek some assistance. I found Megan Keller & A Kurant Event while link surfing through a wedding website. I immediately checked her out on Yelp, loved the reviews, and promptly set up a meeting. Loved this woman right away! She was so friendly, listened to me carefully, took notes, and proceeded to explain how she could help me, what my options were, and the prices. I loved it! Get straight to the point, and let's do this thing! Needless to say, I hired Megan and she worked with me step-by-step to put together a wedding and reception that exceeded my husband's and my dreams. All the while, keeping us on schedule and on track. The day of, especially, was so stress free - she took care of everything and I was able to fully enjoy the best day of my life. I highly recommend hiring Megan for your wedding planning needs, especially for the day-of, if not the whole shebang - she's totally worth it!
