Kelly Kennedy Weddings & Events With 10+ years of experience in planning weddings and events, I am excited to share my knowledge and Hi, I'm Kelly! I am blessed beyond belief!!!
(40)

Thank you for taking a little bit of time to "meet me". Born and raised in the Sunshine State, I am a 2006 Graduate from the one and only University of Florida (Go Gators) with a degree in Hospitality Management. I have over a decade of event experience and feel completely blessed that I have found my purpose in life and that is: being a mommy and planning events! Here is a little bit of my backgr

ound:
I started my career working in Catering Sales at an upscale Country Club. During my time in this industry, I soaked in all the knowledge of how the food and beverage runs on the backside of an event as well as how to accurately run an event timeline (because we know, everything revolves around the food). During my time at the Country Club, I assisted with nearly 450 weddings plus hundreds of other non-ceremonial events (i.e. golf tournaments, Gala's, birthday parties, retirements parties, bar/bat mitzvah's, holiday parties, etc). Although this career required a lot of invested time, I am forever grateful for all that I learned and have been able to keep with me during my own event planning adventures. Understanding the catering aspect of a wedding or event is so crucial in emplenting all of those details into an event timeline. I truly feel that having this knowledge helps set me a part from other wedding professionals because I can communicate with caterers and understand their needs which in return helps in running an extremely smooth reception/event. After departing from the Country Club, my husband and I started our own little family (see the picture above, that is my super sweet Ryker). Once he was born, I couldn't imagine not being at home with him so that is when my husband and I decided that it was time to put all of my knowledge and experience into my own wedding and event planning business. This gives me the opportunity and flexibility to work from home and still be with my sweet little boy. So, that leaves me with the best of both worlds: being able to watch him grow up as well as playing out a dream of mine by growing my event business.

Stunning bouquet. Stunning Bride. They compliment each other so perfectly. This smaller in size bouquet was designed for her petite stature, an Old Florida theme with touches of tropical elegance. I think nailed it!

Have you heard all the buzz about the After the Tone (an audio guestbook)? It’s easily one of our favorite methods for guests to send their best wishes (and it gets better throughout the night as the drinks are slinging). BUT, in true KKWE fashion, we must elevate that experience! This phone booth from took this guest experience to the next level!

One of my favorite trends right now - these adorable flower pods. They allow your stems to stay upright without being consumed in a vase. This brings an organic and airy feel to your table design.
