My husband and I are two organized people but we didn't know much about the wedding planning industry or how to go about the vendor process. We decided to work with LyKai early on in our process to help locate the best venue for our needs and budget. LyKai is so helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the details of event planning. She was also very patient and flexible with us as we thought through our wedding details. She is super organized and helped us bring our vision to life on our wedding day. We knew we were in great hands during the wedding weekend and it allowed us to truly enjoy and be in the present with my husband and our friends and family. A quote from my now husband: "she is great and worth the money."

LyKai was spectacular to work with! Very personable, responsive, creative, and detail-oriented. We…read moreinitially planned to have our wedding in San Diego, but had to pivot to Portland, Oregon, to be closer to my family. Despite this change, she still ensured that our vision and wedding day truly represented us. Multiple Portland vendors have told me that she is a great communicator and has demonstrated incredible professionalism. On the day of the wedding, we experienced inclement weather, and she went out of her way to buy us a clear umbrella. I am grateful to LyKai and her team for handling every step of the planning process, being flexible with last-minute requests, and for delivering a beautiful wedding day. Highly recommend LyKai and her team for wedding planning!

Heather Keith is the reason you hire a coordinator - period…read more We hired *Heather Keith Events* to plan our son's Bar Mitzvah (and she was there throughout running the show), and working with Heather was for the lack of a better was to say it just a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was well worth it (and candidly wasn't too expensive to hire either). Heather managed everything--from coordinating numerous vendors and rentals to handling multiple food options, designing thoughtful centerpieces (without breaking the bank), and bringing in an outstanding DJ who kept guests of all ages fully engaged (which is crucial). One of the things we appreciated most was Heather's transparency and smart budgeting advice. She helped us identify where it made sense to handle certain items ourselves ahead of time--saving us from unnecessary vendor markups--and advised on where to invest for the best impact. Thanks to her, we not only stayed on budget, we saved money in several areas we wouldn't have considered on our own. But maybe most importantly, Heather took the stress off of my wife. Instead of worrying about logistics or last-minute details, she was able to fully enjoy the evening and be completely present throughout the celebration. That peace of mind alone made working with Heather more than worth it. Heather Keith brought "calm" to the whole planning process. We'll absolutely be working with Heather again for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah--there's no question who we'll be calling. If you're planning a major event and want someone who's organized, clearly in charge of the vendors, and truly committed to making the experience smooth and enjoyable, Heather is who you need! Thank you Heather!

We felt confident that everything would be set-up just as we wanted, and we also trusted her fully to make any last minute decor decisions or adjustments as needed. We were able to sneak into the reception area through a back entrance before the guests to see everything all set-up perfectly (we highly recommend doing this!) and were blown away by how gorgeous the entire set-up was. She truly executed on our vision and brought our reception space to life. She was flexible and always supported our decisions for decor. Heather was extremely knowledgeable and she asked us all of the right questions to make sure she had the information she needed. Thank you!

Hiring Kristi with Everlasting Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read morereception. From our very first call, Kristi stood out. She was engaging, easy to talk to, and immediately felt like someone I could trust. After that first conversation, I told my fiancé how much I liked her and that I really wanted him to speak with her too. By our second call, before we had even officially hired her, Kristi had already started pulling ideas for where we could host our reception based on what I had shared with her just a few days earlier. She was already thinking ahead, already listening, and already on the job. Originally, Kristi was only supposed to help us with the reception details, but she ended up helping with so much more. She connected us with my makeup vendor, helped with our florist, gave us hotel recommendations, and provided a list of vendors for our reception cake. She also wrote out our wedding day timeline and coordinated with our media team on vendor meals and our shot list. She truly went above and beyond the scope of what we originally hired her for, and I am so grateful. She made our day absolutely perfect. I planned a very intimate wedding reception, and because it was smaller, every detail mattered. I had a clear vision for the evening: elegant, personal, coastal, romantic, and beautifully styled without feeling overdone. Kristi understood that vision and brought it to life so perfectly. When I walked into the reception space, I was genuinely blown away. The décor was stunning, the table looked beautiful, and everything felt like what I had imagined, but better! Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was--many even took home some of the decor Kristi had put together. Leading up to the wedding, Kristi was incredibly helpful, organized, and communicative. We are based in Scottsdale, so much of our planning happened over email, and she was always responsive, clear, and steady. She helped coordinate with the venue and vendors, kept track of details, and made me feel like someone had a handle on all the moving pieces. But where Kristi really shined was on the wedding day itself. She was basically my shadow throughout the night, in the absolute best way. She was always nearby without ever being intrusive. She made sure I ate, made sure I had what I needed, and kept the evening moving without making me feel like I had to manage anything. I had been very clear that I wanted an espresso martini at my reception, and when I walked in, she walked me directly to the bar and put one in my hands. It sounds like a small thing, but on your wedding day, those little details feel huge. It made me feel so cared for. She was also an amazing point of contact for our vendors. I did not have to answer questions, solve problems, or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Kristi handled it. The entire night felt smooth, calm, beautiful, and completely intentional. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took my vision seriously, executed it beautifully, and helped make our wedding feel perfect. Every bride deserves someone like Kristi in their corner.

Kristi with Everlasting Events was outstanding and exactly the kind of person you want on your…read morewedding team. From my perspective as the groom, one of the biggest things I appreciated about Kristi was that she just handled things. She was communicative, confident, and decisive. She did not second-guess herself, and when something needed to be addressed, she addressed it. That made a huge difference for us. Before the wedding, we had an issue with the venue taking too long to process our credit card, which caused unnecessary stress and even got flagged by the bank. Kristi stepped in, followed up with them, and made sure it was handled correctly and more timely the next time. She was not afraid to be firm when the situation called for it, and I really appreciated that. On the wedding night, she was just as helpful. When it came time to settle the bill, she stood with me and the vendor, pulled out her calculator, and took the time to walk through the costs, fees, and tip so we knew everything was correct. She made sure we paid properly, tipped appropriately, and understood what we were being charged for. Kristi was professional, organized, and calm under pressure. She made sure the night ran smoothly, kept the vendors coordinated, and allowed us to actually enjoy the reception instead of worrying about logistics. I would absolutely recommend Kristi and Everlasting Events to anyone who wants someone who knows what they are doing and will make sure things get done right.

Well, once I secured the venue and started trying to secure vendors, I realized this was going to be a LOT more stressful than I had imagined. I'd met Alana at The Sinclair when I did a walkthrough. She answered all my questions and when I told her about my vision and what I wanted, you could tell she truly saw it and wasn't just trying to appease me. So when it came time to hire someone to take on Day-Of coordination, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. This event, was truly truly a labor of love, one which I poured just about every ounce of energy into. I get so wrapped up in what I want that it's hard for me to delegate because I know no one will do it quite like how I want it. Enter Alana. She truly truly just gets it. Yall. When I tell you that not only did Alana know exactly wtf I wanted, but she executed it better than I could have even imagined! I was literally speechless. Alana and Denise truly made my night super special, took care of everything, and checked on me endlessly throughout the night to see if I needed anything. There is no way I would have been able to pull off this party without Alana. Not only does she have the knowledge and experience, but her personality and warmth truly make you feel at ease.

We had an incredible experience with Stephanie Wooding and Best Day Ever. From the very beginning,…read moreStephanie brought the perfect mix of calm confidence, deep expertise, and genuine care. We spoke with a few planners before deciding, and what stood out about Stephanie immediately was how organized and experienced she was -- she asked the right questions, anticipated things we didn't even know to consider yet, and made us feel like we were in very capable hands. Throughout the planning process, Stephanie was thoughtful, responsive, and solution-oriented. She helped us stay on track without ever making it feel stressful, and she consistently brought us back to what mattered most: having a wedding that felt like us and actually enjoying the experience along the way. About a month before the wedding, we transitioned to her associate Jenn Anderson as our day-of coordinator -- and we truly couldn't have asked for a smoother handoff. Stephanie set Jenn up with all the context and details, and Jenn executed everything flawlessly. She was professional, calm, and on top of every moving part, which allowed us (and our families) to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. Multiple guests commented on how seamless everything felt and how amazing the coordination was -- and we completely agree. If you're looking for a planning team that is organized, experienced, kind, and genuinely committed to making your day feel easy and joyful, Best Day Ever is it. We are so grateful to Stephanie and Jenn for helping make our wedding the best day ever.

She was with us every step of the way and made sure I was reminded of the little details I may have forgotten or didn't think I needed to worry about as early.

The day of was seamless and even with some little weather issues she made everything way less stressful and ensured everything was set with all of the vendors before I even got there.
