About

We will make sure you have the highest quality tents, tables, chairs, linens, lighting and experience for your big day. We feel that every wedding is ours and we are not happy until you are! Just recently we were given a vision and were told that we performed 'beyond expectations." We are truly honored to work with the wonderful people that we do and we are blessed to do what we love.

Now a bit of Special Events History......................

Since its creation in 1981, Special Events has been part of many events throughout the Bluegrass. Kimberly Gaunce joined the Special Events team in 2006 as the Event Manager. She helped to continue the tradition of spectacular events and customer service. In May 2012, Kimberly and Jim Gaunce purchased Special Events to continue Kim's dream of creating extraordinary events all over the state. With the addition of wedding and event planning, Special Events can do it all so you can be a guest at your own event!

We love what we do and we hope to show our little man that you can do what you love by being passionate and professional for your clients. He is already planning what he will do when he is old enough to work at Special Events. He's the light man!

We look forward to meeting you! ~Kim and Jim

Kim with Special Events was amazing! She was my wedding planner and I used them for all my rental needs too. She was so organized and helpful in every step. She was always available and got back to me super quick, even on little things that (in hindsight) prob weren't that big of a deal :). She helped me stay on track and on a good timeline too. Especially the wedding day, we had pouring rain all day until 1 hour before the wedding, and she made all my outside visions sill work in such a short time! She took all the stress off me and I would definitely hire her for my planner and them for rentals all over again!! Couldn't have asked for a better planner! Thank you Kim and everyone at Special events for making my day so amazing and stress free (even with all the weather issues and everything else that day! :) )

Love them!

Our wedding planner recommended Special Events and they were awesome and definitely reasonably priced! Our planner did much of the coordination, but Kim (the owner) was super flexible, especially after we had to postpone our wedding a year due to the pandemic. She was also so sweet every time I would call and everything looked beautiful on our wedding day! Can't thank her enough :)
