"What Sets Us Apart?" Our thoughts are: Screw cookie-cutter + copy & paste events. We want to know: What do YOU want? What do YOU like?

We regularly build events from the ground up, bringing in tents, lighting, flooring, electric, toilets, you name it.

    Kelley was worth 10 times every penny we paid to hire her and my only regret was not budgeting for full planning services. She is SO kind, reassuring, and easy to work with, but also an absolute expert and professional. She was an incredible resource for questions throughout the whole planning process, and truly saved my life the month and day-of. She coordinated logistics for a long list of outside vendors (a truly behemoth undertaking), helped with seating charts, ran our rehearsal, managed transportation and setup of ALL our decor which included a lot of her own inventory, kept everything on track and on time, and put out fires big and small. She somehow did my complicated bustle WHILE I was moving around greeting guests at cocktail hour (still confused about how she did this), and miraculously removed a huge makeup stain out of my fiancé’s white tux just before the ceremony. She kept me calm when it looked like rain or wind would force us to move our entire event inside last minute, quickly came up with new layouts and managed all the vendor changes which allowed me to be stress-free and present with our guests on rehearsal night. This is barely scratching the surface of all she did and helped with. If you’re like me and have never planned an event but are organized and generally competent you might think you can pull it off on your own, but Kelley (and Laniya) were the difference between a hot mess and the beautifully peaceful and smooth day we will never forget. I cannot thank or recommend her enough!

    Kelley and the team at A La Carte Events were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, they were responsive, attentive, knowledgeable and detailed in their approach, ensuring we felt supported and understood every step of the way. Their work was truly outstanding - they were thorough, thoughtful, organized, patient and completely transparent, making the year-long planning process easy to manage and stress-free. Kelley's day-of coordination was impeccable, as she seamlessly orchestrated all the vendors and events without a single hitch. Thanks to her hard work and incredible attention to detail, our wedding day was beyond perfect. I would wholeheartedly recommend A La Carte Events to any couple looking for a truly exceptional wedding planning experience.

    Kelley and team are truly angels! I was a covid bride who truly planned my wedding at least 5 times, changed the date 3x and a new venue and I could have not done this without Kelley and A la carte events! I had one vendor try to take advantage of my husband and I and asked for more money when rescheduling the date and Kelley quickly helped take care of the situation, she even found me a new spring trio who were phenomenal and very easy to work with! It rained on my wedding day and Kelley made sure everything ran perfectly even with the rain. All the behind the scenes work Kelley and team did the week leading up to my wedding was insane, I truly would have been so lost without her. I miss working with her even though at times changing my venue and dates were super stressful, I probably would have lost my mind if Kelley wasn’t there to guide me. She thought of things that didn’t even cross my mind and made everything truly perfect. People still rave about our wedding day and how amazing it all came together despite the weather. She’s the first vendor I always recommend, my husband and I still rave about how amazing Kelley was! We miss her so much and wish we could get married 82828x over but have her by our side! We love A La carte events, having a planner makes such a big difference and truly is noticeable if you have one or not. You will enjoy your special day stress free and I promise Kelley and team will make your vision come alive.
