KM Coordination

08/23/2024

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.

✨️New Review✨️

I feel so blessed to consistently find the BEST clientele. I am grateful for every single opportunity to serve my community and their loved ones.

If you're wondering if you need someone to simply run the day, YOU DO, and (frankly) it cannot be you (the couple or immediate family).

Be present during this once-in-a-lifetime occasion and leave the work and running around to KM Coordination.

Zoey, thank you for allowing me to help with your celebration. It truly was wonderful and a ton of fun! Wishing you, Sheldon, and baby Damon the best with your future endeavors.

A new review was received just today (a true surprise for me) from a sweet couple I helped several years ago. I don't think I'll ever forget this wedding (in the BEST way possible). There are so many great memories from this event, and I love when I get the chance to catch up with the couple.

My goal is to form a personal relationship with each of my clients, not a transactional one. To be hired by my clients is such a special experience for me. I truly love being a small part of their day to make a difference in their experience.

The magical time of year, known as ✨️engagement season✨️, is upon us. There are so many emotions that you will experience as a newly engaged couple, one of which is overwhelm. So which vendors do you book first? My general recommendation on order is below, although a few could be switched:

♡ Wedding Planner
♡ Venue (both if having a ceremony off-site)
♡ Photographer | Videographer
♡ DJ | Emcee | Live Band
♡ Florist
♡ Catering | Bartending
♡ Bakery | Dessert
♡ Hair | Makeup
♡ Rentals | Decor

Once these are booked, the focus shifts to other details that fall under each of these vendors.

One caveat is that most vendors are being booked 9+ months in advance, if not over a year. If you find a vendor you like and want to book, reach out sooner rather than later to have a better chance of securing your vendor of choice! Attending a bridal show is the perfect way to meet vendors and secure discounts that may not be available at other times of the year.

It was such a JOY to assist Lexi + Peter for their wedding. I am so sad that our time working together towards this day is over, but over the moon with how their day went. Their families were the sweetest and their wedding party was so much fun! A few additional comments from Lexi:

Her favorite part of their wedding day was the first look.

She shared that they chose KM Coordination because we were "more personable than other vendors."

When asked to share a piece of advice for other couples, she said: "Remember that this day is for the two of you! Make sure it is something you are both happy with. If you want to wear Converse all day, but your family doesn't..... wear the Converse!"

The only things she would've changed were considering transportation earlier and giving all of the bridal party a more detailed timeline of what was going on throughout the day.

Quality of Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Professionalism: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Adaptability: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Expectations: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Communication + Responsiveness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Attention to Detail: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Investment Value: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Overall Experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did you know that every package includes a wedding planning spreadsheet? This serves as a one-stop information hub for you (and me), accessible by phone or computer, and is tailored to include ALL details:

✔️ Priorities List (know what's a deal breaker + what you're willing to flex on)
✔️ Planning Timeline with progress indicators
✔️ Budget Tracker
✔️ Family Dynamics List (in case there's something to handle)
✔️ Guest List
✔️ Seating Chart
✔️ Ceremony Procession + Recession
✔️ Weekend Timeline
✔️ Day-Of Timeline
And more!

If this sounds helpful while planning your event, consider KM Coordination for your planning and coordinating needs. ✨️link in bio✨️

Three things that I'm immediately grateful for?

🤎 My family and their flexibility as I grow this small business.
🤎 The opportunity to dream and the feasibility to make those dreams happen.
🤎 My clientele. I have THE sweetest couples, and I am incredibly grateful for the trust they've placed in me.

Thank you to every single person who supports me on this journey. I couldn't do it without you!

Wedding days can be tough when loved ones have passed and can't physically be there to celebrate. There are several ways to honor them during your nuptials.

• Reserving a seat at the ceremony with a flower, sign, or picture
• A memory table or display with photos of your loved ones
• Taking a moment of silence
• Light a memorial candle
• Adding a charm or photo to your bouquet or jacket
• Wear a special piece of jewelry
• Add a piece of their clothing inside of your attire to keep them near
• Add a note in your ceremony note (i.e. In Memory Of)
• Incorporate a special song during the reception for your first dance or cake cutting
