This review is long overdue but I want to recommend Pfeiffer event planning for anyone. I got married in May of 2014 and Kendra was our planner. Before working with her we had hired a photographer and booked our venue but quickly realized we needed some guidance and help. We met with a few event planners but Kendra was the only one who seemed to actually listen to us more than talk to us about themselves. I trusted Kendra to see my vision for my wedding and really help me make it work. She had an entire list of vendors to refer us to and I knew that I could trust these vendors to show up and deliver what was promised. I did not know that much about weddings and Kendra was extremely helpful. She had a detailed checklist of things I needed to get done and dates they needed to be finished by. I always knew that nothing would be forgotten. On the day of the wedding she was there from the minute set up started. Once I arrived I knew she was taking care of things and I did not have to go double check (being the control freak I am). If there was anything that went wrong, I didn't know about it nor did I even notice. Her and her assistant Jordan were very organized and were very helpful whenever I needed anything. I just enjoyed my day. Kendra was very professional and takes this very seriously. She's not about to let your husband accidentally see you or let any wardrobe malfunctions get in the way. She has a special little kit for any problem. Trust me and trust Kendra to really take care of you and your event and make it amazing!!! BTW - Our wedding was so amazing we got a 6 pg. feature in Sacramento Bride & Groom magazine Thank you again Kendra! read more

Venue Vixens helped us organize a small family event in Sacramento, and the experience was smooth from the first call. They walked us through venue options, clarified pricing, and coordinated details we would not have considered on our own. Communication was steady and clear, and the day of the event went according to plan. Their guidance made the whole process much easier. read more

Pheiffer Event Planning is wonderful and we couldn't have had a successful wedding without her. We live in St. Louis, MO so planning a wedding in Sacramento was going to be a little tough since I (the Bride) was from Southern California and the Groom had not lived in Sacramento for at least 10 years. We started planning a little closer to our wedding date in November 2009 (only 7 mo. of planning). Our wedding date was 5/30/10 - Memorial Day Weekend. She helped us find a ceremony and reception location (sending us a ton of photos via e-mail), secure 2 options for hotels for our out-of-town guests (about 70%), rentals for the ceremony. Helped us with the florist, a hair and make-up person, photographer, photobooth company...everything you could absolutely think of - she gave us at least 2 options based on what we were looking for. We only visited once (for one weekend) before the wedding where she scheduled 2 cake tastings, 2 florist meetings, food tasting (which was Mulvaney's and was AMAZING), trial hair & make-up, and visit to the ceremony location. She also helped me with verbiage and proofing on our wedding invitations, menu and programs - which we made. Kendra is very thorough and worked with all of our vendors. She is also very responsive on phone and e-mail and will respond (usually within 24 hours unless she had a wedding or is on vacation. On the day of our wedding, it is hard to show just how helpful she was since it was perfect and nothing went wrong. Her assistant for the day Jordan was also wonderful - she was always there ready to help and I really appreciated it...especially when I wanted to change out my shoes :o). I highly recommend Kendra with Pfeiffer Event Planning. You can see photos of our wedding on our wedding website: web.me.com/bcsakamoto/Brian&Charlayne/Vendors.html read more

Kendra is Wonder Woman. Kendra helped my sister and I plan an Indian double wedding!!!! Anyone who knows about Indian weddings I need not say more. This was a 6 day extravaganza and Kendra not only familiarized herself with all of our customs and traditions, she helped keep us so organized that ALL of our guests said "this was the BEST INDIAN wedding we have ever attended!" I can not recommend her enough. She is so pleasant to work with and by the time each of our sessions were done I had emails and messages of finished work and research by the time I got home. If you want a well organized wedding, working with a person with the best connections and most knowledge then Kendra is your "gal!" read more

My wedding was BETTER than I dreamed thanks to Kendra. She is organized, detail-oriented, and understanding of what you are expecting your wedding day to look like. She was great at helping me pick put vendors and coordinating with them to get the look that I was looking for for the special day. Honestly, I can't thank Kendra enough. It was very hard for me to let someone else take charge of the wedding planning, but with my busy schedule, I decided to hire Kendra after meeting with a few wedding planners..I was so glad I did. She kept track of everything that was due..payments, rentals, etc and at absolutely no time did I feel the extreme stress that brides have, thanks to Kendra!!! read more

Our dream wedding would not have been possible without Kendra. For 18 months Kendra and I planned and researched a wedding that was all about details. Despite it normally being difficult for me to relinquish control I always felt comfortable with Kendra in charge. If you are looking for an organized, experienced, detail-minded, patient and understanding wedding planner that can handle anything that comes along Kendra is the right person for you. After our first intial meeting she went to work creating and planning a timeline and to-do check list to help me get through the planning process and it was so incredibly helpful. I never once had to worry about what I needed to get done, she was always there to assist me with the next step. The vendors she recommended were amazing with loads of experience and she negotiated amazing prices savings us thousands of dollars. Communication was a breeze and anytime I needed a question answered or something researched she was a phone call or email away. My large wedding would have been overwhelming and quite possibly miserable to plan and execute if it weren't for her. Never once throughout my planning process did I feel stressed or frustrated and on our big day I was able to relax, get ready and marry the man of my dreams. I would highly recommend Kendra to any bride looking to make her wedding day that much more special and stress free. read more

Kendra is as good as it gets. I am an extremely busy person as is my now husband and she made all of our ideas come out and shine. She suggested a wonderful photographer, florist, DJ, venues and gave options when needed and then recommendations for a single vendor when asked. I saved hundreds of hours by trusting her judgement and I was not disappointed. She had wonderful contracts with vendors with lots of perks and even provided her own son to return some cushions to Roseville the following day when we would rather hang out with friends. She was even willing to watch a movie for my theme as homework. She was professional and the Day Of and Rehearsal Organization made it so that all I needed to do was be with my friends and family. She and her assistant took care of the rest. She is well worth twice of what she charged. She will return emails at midnight and takes care of hundreds of background things that I didn't even know needed done until she needed bridal input. She made sure contracts were in our favor and had thousands of selections of stationary but also helped me when I contracted that out to someone else. I honestly don't know why anyone would get married without an event planner and I personally will never plan an event without Kendra ever again. read more

I have to give Kendra with Pfeiffer Event Planning all of the credit for turning my dream wedding into a reality. There is no way that I could have pulled off such a detailed and fabulous wedding if it were not for Kendra. (My wedding was May 3, 2013) I am super busy with my career and groom is even busier so it was very important that I had a planner who could handle everything. I was pretty hands off in that I told her what things I wanted and trusted that she would make it happen. She communicated with all of my vendors, negotiated special pricing with vendors, sent payments to the vendors, assembled invitations, mailed the invitations.....EVERYTHING! I can't tell you how many vendors gave us special pricing because they wanted to work with Kendra. She was very prompt with getting back to me whenever I had a question or a new idea. I had contracts with several rental companies and she kept everything so organized. It all seemed so effortless. And the wedding.........Everyone (I mean everyone) is still talking about how fabulous my wedding was and how much fun they had and how it ran so smoothly. I loved my wedding so much that I am trying to think of another party for Kendra to plan......maybe my baby shower. Without hesitation, I recomend Kendra with Pfeiffer Event Planning.My wedding was fabulous, she saved us a lot of money and the day was literally perfect. The cost is so minimal compared to the lifelong memories. read more

We held our ceremony and reception outdoors on a private estate on 5/21/16, and Kendra Pfeiffer Wershing is the reason our wedding far exceeded our hopes and expectations. Choosing Kendra as our planner was truly the single best decision we made, and we are absolutely thrilled with the level of service she and her team provided. After we submitted our initial inquiry, Kendra responded within a few hours, even though she was on vacation at the time. After our first meeting, it was an easy decision--her professionalism and attention to detail were so evident. We are both very busy, so we needed more than month-of coordination services, but we didn't need a fully inclusive package either. Kendra created a custom package for us that met all our needs exactly and fit our budget. Her flexibility in meeting our needs was certainly a plus, but the primary reason we chose her was we felt comfortable that she would click well with my father (who was hosting the event at his home) and our many friendors. Our friends enjoyed working with her and my dad was so impressed with her organization. At first my dad was a little skeptical when I told him I hired a planner, but afterwards he was so grateful--thanks to Kendra, he got to truly enjoy the evening and relax. Many websites warn about the logistical difficulties and hidden expenses of having a private estate or backyard wedding--this was not our experience whatsoever. Kendra did an outstanding job of leveraging the property's assets and preventing any issues from arising the day of. About 20 minutes before the ceremony start time, it was threatening to rain, but even though I was disappointed I was not at all worried--I fully trusted Kendra to execute a rain plan that would still result in a beautiful wedding. Luckily the skies cleared but I know Kendra would have handled it without any trouble for me, my dad or our guests. If there were any problems or questions, neither my husband nor I heard about them the entire evening. Everything flowed incredibly smoothly and the entire event was magical. We wanted a simple, minimalist, eco-friendly design, and Kendra not only executed it perfectly but added little surprise touches that stayed true to our vision while enhancing the atmosphere. She also went far above and beyond, before and during the event, assisting other vendors whenever needed. My husband and I are so, so grateful to Kendra for making our dreams come true! She is a consummate professional and a wonderful resource. read more

Kendra is a true professional and so easy to work with. As a wedding DJ, I see good and not-so good event planners and I would put Kendra at the very top of the list of seasoned veterans. I have never had an event where the clients, guests or vendors didn't enjoy from start to finish. You simply cannot go wrong with Pfeiffer Event Planning! read more

Kendra made our wedding perfect! Wedding planning can be so stressful and overwhelming, but Kendra made our experience fun and easy. She saved us so much time by narrowing down high quality vendors for us to choose from, but made sure each selection that was made fit our vision. Our wedding turned out better than we ever imagined, and, as a bride, I never stressed about the details of my wedding coming together. She was easy to work with and listened to what we wanted. We can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Kendra is amazing!!! I wish I could count the number of times over the year of wedding planning that I said "Thank God for Kendra". I can honestly say that I don't know what we would have done without her. She was excited, professional, and personal from the first day we met until the last moment of our wedding. She was experienced, professional, willing to work with our budget, our unique tastes, and eased all of my worries. She will make your wedding beautiful, memorable, and most of all YOURS. And you will be able to enjoy the wedding because she can handle all of the details that you never even imagined. If you are wondering whether a wedding planner is worth it, stop wondering! Its worth every second and every penny! She will SAVE you money (she saved us 10's of thousands by negotiating prices for us), and make your life so much easier. You will be smiling in all of your pictures because Kendra will be behind the scenes solving every problem, and taking care of every detail.The vendors that she found for us were all incredible, trustworthy, and professional. Even better, because of Kendra, the vendors all went the extra mile to make our wedding special and to fit their services to our requests. I could go on forever! I would recommend Kendra to anyone, any size wedding or budget, and I will! read more

The best decision we made in our wedding process (besides committing our lives to each other, of course!) was hiring Kendra of Pfeiffer Event Planning, for three reasons: her assistance, her expertise, and in the end, a perfect wedding day. Kendra helped us out tremendously by taking care of all the paperwork associated with the wedding - all of our contracts for the DJ, the photographer, the event site, the food, our wedding license, our park (ceremony) permits - everything. For two adults working full time, having a coordinator handle all the details associated with a large party/wedding was invaluable - we never had to take time off work, as she scheduled all meetings and tastings according to our schedules and handled the smaller details herself. Kendra is a wedding coordinator with over a decade of experience in the Sacramento area. Thus, she holds a wealth of expertise, recommendations, and insight that we would have been lost without. Once we told Kendra of the type of wedding we wanted, she went to work selecting several photographers, wedding locations, food options, and other vendors that would have taken hours and hours of research for us to replicate. Kendra has worked with the majority of vendors in Sacramento for weddings and other large events - her first-hand experience with several of these people helped us to customize and narrow our options with little time and effort. It eased our minds knowing that she was recommending vendors with whom she'd had great experiences with, and I must say we were 100% satisfied with all of her recommendations! Further, because we wanted a friend to conduct our ceremony, having Kendra on hand to assist him in getting certified in California to conduct our ceremony was incredibly helpful as well. After the wedding we were, of course, exhausted - and were thankful yet again to have Kendra as our coordinator. She took care of all the final details, from turning in our marriage license paperwork to executing the final payments to all the contractors. As a result, we enjoyed quality time with our families the day-of and afterwards, and could go on to our honeymoon without having to think about anything but each other. Kendra helped to create a perfect, stress-free day for my partner and me. I was skeptical at first as to the necessity of a wedding coordinator, but it made the biggest difference - our wedding day was a beautiful celebration enjoyed by us and our closest friends and family, and thanks to Kendra it was a day where all we had to do was focus on enjoying it :) read more

I can't possibly list the number of ways in which Kendra was the key to making our son's wedding as beautiful as it was. She's very personable and very professional. She worked with the vendors that the couple had chosen, and, at her fingertips, she had recommendations for those services we still needed. Particularly impressive was her seamless coordination with both the venue staff and the chef and staff of Magpie, the caterer. She kept up with due dates and timelines. There is no way we could have enjoyed such a beautiful evening without her help and guidance. read more

Kendra was absolutely amazing to work with!!!! She made our dream wedding a reality. We were recommended to her by some of our closest friends and it was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. With a year to plan our big day, we got to work with Kendra very closely and couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. One of the most important undertakings Kendra contended with during the planning was dealing with all of the vendors. Not only did she organize everything and everyone seamlessly but she also made sure we got the best bang for our buck! She went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we could have ever dreamed of. My husband and I highly recommend Kendra and Pfeiffer Event Planning!!!! read more

Kendra was a life saver for my wedding day. I did not have to worry about a thing knowing she had every detail about my day handled. Kendra had a ton of great ideas and with her help, my husband and I were able to create a wedding that was uniquely our own. She is professional, had great communication, worked well with my other vendors and has a great personality. I really appreciate all the hard work she put into our wedding to ensure seamless perfection. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, large or small. read more

We worked with Kendra for 14 months to plan our wedding, and the wedding was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything during the whole planning process. She updated us monthly, and then weekly as the event got closer. We had unexpected rain and she was able to get us a tent on short notice. We couldn't have done it without her. She was very professional, and friendly, and we had fun just chatting with her at our appointments. Highly, highly recommend Kendra for any event you need help planning! read more
