Hiring set up and tear down services can make your morning much more relaxing and your night so much more fun! We offer these services for our partial and full planning packages. We normally don't set up live florals, but we made a one-time exception for a very unique circumstance.

Pictured here, we used the client's decor pieces with the exception of the florist's bud vases. The books came from the couple's personal collection, as they are both avid readers and the bride works for a local publishing company. Another special piece were the 100+ year old windows that came from their home used as their arbor for the ceremony and the selfie station backdrop at the reception.

✨️ NEW REVIEW ✨️

Kayla and Joel hired me almost immediately after their engagement, and we started meeting regularly right away. They wanted their day to feel like them, not like traditional norms. We customized their day to fit their personalities and interests, which included a D20 roll for initiative on who went first with personal vows. Side note: their vows were so impeccably written, you can tell literature is an important part of their lives. Other inclusions were their decor, games, guest book, signature drinks, and (my favorite) a t-shirt toss! They were incredibly thoughtful with the guest experience, which warmed my heart, but they were able to focus on each other the entire day. This was one that will stay forefront in my mind for a very long time.

Ashley and Matthew were a delight to work with. The day went wonderful and ahead of schedule, which allowed for less stress. It also allowed us to move up their grand entrance, allowing the couple to see more of their guests for longer (thanks to those pesky bugs during outdoor photos).

If anyone is looking to book Ohmygoodies LLC by Sara Jean, her calendar is filling up! Act fast!

2025 availability updated 12/10/24!!

here is the most up to date calendar for my availability for 2025. My next opening is not until July so please keep that in mind when looking ahead at your celebrations for the year.

As a reminder, I don't need to know WHAT you want to get on my calendar, just a general idea (wedding, large event, etc) and even the exact date isn't necessary as long as it falls somewhere during the week that is open.

This last year I did 12-15 custom orders every week and while I absolutely LOVE each and every one and have not experienced "burn out", I work All. The. Time. since I also have a full time day job (which I also love!). Between wanting a little more flexibility AND with our new grand baby coming this year, I am cutting back to a max of 10 orders a week. Most weeks I've capped at 9 orders because there will always be an exception or emergency that I want to be able to accommodate (think gender reveals, etc. that you won't get six months notice for). So even if you see your date marked unavailable, you can still reach out to see if I can fit you in.

Lastly, THANK YOU!! Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!! The support you all show me by not just snagging a rare spot on my calendar, but by all the kind words you share with me, you continue to amaze me every single day I get to create edible art for you and your families.

I know I have been incredibly quiet on my socials lately, but please allow me to share something that has been on my mind:

🦋🦋🦋

A butterfly's emergence from her chrysalis is a grueling but critical part of her transformation. The final escape from the butterfly’s cocoon is also the most difficult part of the transformation. To do so, she encounters a struggle to free her body with her brand new wings from a place of darkness. The struggle can be so intense that the butterfly may seem hurt or near death.

But to be freed, she needs to do it by herself.. finding the strength in her wings to open the cocoon... to break free. Without the struggle, the emerging new butterfly lacks the strength to fly and embark on her new journey in the world. Without this self-sustaining strength, she will perish all too quickly.

Many have described that watching a butterfly emerge from chrysalis is painful, and they want to help. However, all we can do is watch, encourage, and be patient as we witness the strengthening of wings... and of hearts.

🦋🦋🦋

This season has been one of tremendous growth, challenges, adapting, and preparing... professionally, but also personally. I have strength in me that I wasn't aware of until the past six months have come and gone. I can't help but feel like I'm at another crossroads of doing what is comfortable versus true growth. Painful, challenging growth (but in the best way). I mean, life is challenging. Don't get me wrong... but I'm finally at a point where I refuse to settle and accept limitations. I refuse to let anyone make me feel small again.

✨️ I accept that while I am not perfect, I can still try my best, and that is absolutely enough.
✨️ I accept that despite my mistakes and past, I'm still deserving and worthy of love and respect.
✨️ I accept what I can control with gratitude and what I can not with patience.
✨️ I accept new experiences, friendships, challenges, opportunities, and joy.

I'm ready to fly and see what these wings can do. I mean, until I try, I'll never know, right? 😉 So... who's coming with me?

Friday's wedding was one I won't easily forget! This arbor is probably one of my favorites that I've seen for a while. I love it when families have a vision and it comes to life.

Kudos to the Brownstone Design Studio for setting up the bride's vision. It made the most picturesque backdrop to their ceremony, and everyone I spoke to was raving at how wonderful it looked!

Bailey + Sam had THE BEST day and were such a JOY to work with. Their vendor team was a dream to work with, as well. Hands down, I want to plan ALL their events in the future! Their wedding party was a blast, and their family so kind and gracious.

Thank you for your kind words, .seufert ❤️ You forever have a place in my heart and memories!

My dear friendor left the kindest words recently. If you're searching for a hair and makeup artist that provides luxury, GORGEOUS services, check out .naughton at StudioRollers!

She is so incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and just kind human being. She is a true friend in this industry, and I'm so glad we connected with my February styled shoot.

So incredibly grateful for you, my dear friend ❤️

Hey, all. I have a bit of a life update for you. I never planned to make this announcement, but I feel that it's right to be honest and transparent.

First, thank you to each of my couples for their patience. I've been a bit delayed with deliverables and follow-ups lately because of personal reasons, but your patience through it all has not gone unnoticed. It reaffirms that I truly have THE BEST clients. While I love what I do and who I help, it hasn't been easy working in the wedding industry lately. Even though I say that, I am incredibly grateful and thankful for the opportunity to serve couples and their families on such a momentous occasion. I truly cannot dream of a better gig.

I am sad to share that my marriage is, and has been, in the process of ending after nearly 10 years together. While I have been a bit behind, please know that this does not change my absolute dedication to my clients and the work I am committed to executing. This industry truly helped me find myself and my voice again, and advocating for others gave me the confidence to advocate for myself. I see nothing but a bright future and lots of growth for KM Coordination, and I am immensely grateful for the trust my clients place in me.

While I am still sorting out details and navigating this journey, my dedication to the Manhattan community has not wavered. I'm intermittently living in Topeka, but I tend to go back to Manhattan frequently. I'm also expanding to the Wichita area, which has been so incredibly fun. To my couples, have NO fear. I'm still here and still wholly excited to celebrate your love! Thank you for your continued patience in the coming month(s).

This journey hasn't been easy, and I never imagined this was how my story would unfold, but it was the right thing to do for me. I'm ready to continue to find myself again and get back to the spunky, vivacious girl I once was. I've grown quite a bit, and now it's time for me to bloom.

Always with love + gratitude,
Kels

✨️ NEW REVIEW ✨️ ...ish. I'm just a bit behind.

Adelina + Braeden were so wonderful to work with. They hired me six months out from their wedding + we went straight to work! From designing their fairytale wedding to seeing the Bride's ever-desired Cinderella moment on the staircase to watching the SWEETEST parent dances.. this day is one I won't forget.

When you meet with your clients regularly, love them, not only as clients but as friends, it's tough for that time to end. Thank you for hiring + entrusting us on your special day celebrating your sweet, fun love.

✨️ Package: Partial Planning + Coordination
✨️ Includes set up + tear down services, as well as additional meetings for a deeper dive into support, planning + design.
