For a stress free day - hire Kelli!

From the moment we had our first call, Kelli was incredible. Her organization skills and calm demeanor helped assure us that our event was in great hands! She thought of small details that we hadn't even considered and communicated with all of our vendors to make sure the day went off without a hitch. When a small issue came up with a stain on my dress, she had a full kit of emergency supplies to help fix it! We truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Kelli was and how strongly we would recommend her services!

Wonderful!

Kelli was absolutely wonderful as our day-of wedding planner/coordinator. Initially, we thought “day-of” meant she would help only on our actual wedding day, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. She was in communication with us from the moment we hired her until after the wedding was completed. Kelli made sure to always check in throughout the months leading up to the wedding. In the final months, she reached out to all of our other vendors to ensure they had everything straight/covered. She wrote, re-wrote, and tweaked our wedding day time line document as many times needed to be sure not only all of our requirements/requests were met, but also each of the vendors requirements and requests. If we came across any issues with vendors, Kelli would make it a priority to contact them to resolve any confusion or issue, completely absolving us of any last-minute stress.

Kelli attended our rehearsal to be sure it ran smoothly, and to assure everyone knew their role for the wedding. She introduced herself to everyone and was incredibly sweet, accommodating, relatable and perfectly able to control a chaotic room full of chaotic humans. Without Kelli, we are certain our wedding would not have been as amazing, wonderful, or as stress-free as it was. She will forever be a huge part of our special day, and we couldn’t recommend her more. Her small business makes you feel like you’re the only event she’s planning, while also giving you the professionalism and experience of a larger, more expensive company. She knows exactly what she’s doing and she will help make your event perfectly yours! 11/10 rating from us!

All the best,

Khalia and Johnny

Please, hire Whitetail immediately!

I’m finding it hard to decide where to start, much like how my husband and I felt when starting to plan our wedding. We knew for sure we wanted a wedding planner to help organize our big ideas into an achievable plan, and Kelli truly went above and beyond our expectations! We booked with Whitetail for the most hours possible for wedding planning, and the process began immediately (a little over a year in advance). In the beginning, we found it incredibly helpful to share our vision and to hear what suggestions, contacts, and important steps Kelli recommended we follow. During that year process, both my husband and I found it surprisingly calming to have her reassure us that we were in the right place on our timelines and that everything would come together. Kelli really shines when it comes to organization and follow-through. I could always depend on Kelli to respond to my emails timely and to coordinate with other vendors (and it got a little complicated with renting stages, communicating those specifications and needs with the band and the venue… I’m tired just recalling it!). Kelli was always kind and professional, even when sending email reminders to vendors that were a little slow to respond. Kelli’s timeline is a thing of beauty.. People in the wedding party and other vendors commented it was the most detailed and thorough timeline they had seen! I knew exactly what to expect when it came to the wedding day, and I didn’t worry about a thing. Even if you aren’t able to or interested in full service wedding planning, having Kelli there day-of was the driving force behind our wedding being the best day of our lives. Kelli was active ALL DAY. I mean, she set up all of the decor (side note: also FOLDED OUR NAPKINS days before… what?! Truly a huge help), greeted vendors, even helped get mud out of my dress minutes before the ceremony! During the wedding, she ensured everything was running smoothly and on-time. We did book her for the full day, but let me tell you she let me know she had two other weddings our weekend and you would never have known if she didn’t say anything- she worked through that entire day like a superhero. At the end of the evening, she was instrumental in ensuring everything was cleaned and packed away as well. As Kelli continues to grow her business, I don’t know how she’d be able to keep up with how much she gives of herself to her job (although knowing her, she will), but even if she was only able to work half as hard, it would still be 100% worth it. She was the driving force behind the most important day of our lives (so far) and completely indispensable. I’d go so far as to say, you can’t afford to not book Whitetail Events! You spend so much time and money on making sure this day is perfect, Kelli ensures that the vision becomes a reality and does it with so much care and kindness that you really just get to focus on enjoying the moment.
