Wow where to begin! I honestly don't have enough words to describe my gratitude and praise for Kelsi and Everlast Events. From the very beginning, Kelsi made me feel heard, safe and understood, and worked with me through all my thoughts and indecisions. I seriously cannot recommend her enough and I hope anyone wanting a perfect wedding has a chance to work with her.

She is so incredibly patient and supporting that this entire wedding process felt so seamless with her at my side. From helping to take calls with vendors, to designing mood boards, to making sure I didn't miss any tiny details, to supporting me through my wild DIY dreams, she was there every step of the way.

Come the weekend of my wedding, I felt so calm and at peace, and it's all because I knew Kelsi had it all handled. Everyone kept asking me "are you stressed? are you freaking out?" and the answer was always no because Kelsi is an absolute ROCKSTAR. Trust her, trust her team, and I promise you she can pull anything off.

Her and the Everlast team are so talented and equipped for anything you throw their way. From setting up and designing a beautiful rehearsal dinner, to communicating seamlessly with all the vendor teams, to helping me stay within budget to pull off the garden party wedding of my dreams, to having a laugh with my friends and family, to making the wedding day timeline flow so impeccably that I felt like I could fully enjoy the wedding, dance away the evening and not worry about a thing. She also had a blast with us and got along with everyone!

In the end, my wedding day was everything I could have dreamed of and so much more, having been executed PERFECTLY by Kelsi and her team. I can't say this enough - everything was perfect and exactly how I imagined it. I am so grateful for the Everlast team and am so happy they will have forever been a part of my special day. To top it all off I really feel like I gained a new friend through this whole experience and I can honestly say I am lucky to know Kelsi and her team. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

Working with Kelsi and the Everlast team will be one of my favorite memories from my wedding! Kelsi is a friend, great listener, professional, and absolutely amazing at her job. I am a super type A, hands on planner and Kelsi allowed me to have as much say as I was comfortable with in planning while also still having her remain in control. I felt beyond supported by her expertise, confidence, creativity, and dedication to bringing my dream wedding to life. I was able to gladly let go of control of managing the event with Kelsi because I knew she had things perfectly planned and under control.

My parents, wedding party, and friends were in awe of her friendliness, grace, and professionalism in which she managed my weekend events. She and her team really are the complete package. Because I was able to leave all communication with vendors to Kelsi, I walked into my wedding surprised and with my jaw on the floor because of how perfectly she brought my vision to life.

I would plan my wedding over and over again with Kelsi and highly recommend her for any future brides!

Kelsi from Everlast Events is hands down one of the best wedding planners I’ve had the pleasure of working with! From start to finish, her and her team were on top of every detail. Solving problems, keeping everything on schedule, and ensuring the couple and all the vendors were well taken care of while seamlessly running the wedding.

As a videographer, working with her and her team was an absolute dream. Kelsi’s bubbly personality, exceptional communication skills, and ability to take charge of the day are exactly what you need on your wedding day. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

We cannot recommend Kelsi and Everlast Events highly enough! From the moment she stepped in, Kelsi turned what could have been a stressful experience into something truly enjoyable. We had previously worked with another wedding planner, and the experience was less than ideal, leaving us worried about the rest of our planning journey. We were connected with Kelsi ten weeks before our wedding weekend and she completely saved the day! Her excellent communication and fun personality made the entire process not only manageable but genuinely exciting.

Kelsi's organizational skills are unmatched. She had detailed documentation and helpful systems in place, including user-friendly spreadsheets that allowed us to access everything we needed, no matter where we were. Our schedules were incredibly difficult to work around, but Kelsi was so patient and respectful of our time. She scheduled meetings at times that worked for us and was always on top of follow-ups, ensuring that nothing fell through the cracks.

We’re the type of couple who know what we like when we see it, but struggle to articulate our vision or design ideas. Kelsi seemed to effortlessly read our minds and somehow made everything even more beautiful than we imagined. Her eye for detail and creativity transformed our vague ideas into a stunning reality.

When it came to the wedding weekend, Kelsi and her team executed everything flawlessly. We didn't have to worry about a single detail—it was all handled with perfection. Thanks to Kelsi, we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing that everything was taken care of. We truly can’t imagine how stressful this would have been without her by our side. Instead, we got to focus on the fun parts of planning and making memories.

Kelsi was an absolute joy to work with, and we feel so lucky to have had her on our team. If you want a wedding planner who is organized, thoughtful, fun to work with, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more, you need to hire Kelsi!

Our wedding day was absolutely flawless—every detail was perfect, and the day flowed seamlessly thanks to their hard work and expertise. They listened carefully to our vision and added thoughtful touches that made everything even more special. The Everlast Events team was always responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our celebration reflected who we are as a couple.

They always found ways to elevate every part of the experience, from the décor and vendor recommendations to the timeline coordination. We genuinely felt cared for and stress-free throughout the entire process—a rare thing when planning a wedding!

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will take your dreams and turn them into a stunning reality, Everlast Events is the one. Thank you for helping us create memories we’ll treasure forever!

Kelsi was absolutely awesome. From the very beginning, she was organized, kind, and easy to work with. She helped me and my bride navigate all of the decisions that needed to be made and stay on schedule. Whenever we had clear ideas and goals, she helped us achieve them. Whenever we were unsure about things, she offered useful and on-point suggestions. I didn't have a single moment during my wedding day that didn't run smoothly, and I was able to be completely present and enjoy the beautiful occasion. It was a huge success and Kelsi was the key reason for that.

Thank you!!!!

Kelsi curated the most beautiful design elements for our daughter’s wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and executed our vision perfectly. Her calm demeanor was a welcome element to what could have been a stressful day. We highly recommend!!

Kelsi is extraordinary. She is professional, organized, always optimistic, diplomatic, and when an unexpected rainstorm came in she saved the day. I am an extremely organized and demanding person and I had a bride and groom who also were very particular about what they envisioned.

Kelsi helped us all navigate the wedding planning in a way that created exactly what we wanted. And on the weekend of the wedding, she and her team took over and ran everything so thoroughly and thoughtfully that I could just enjoy it all.

She's an A+.
