I've been thinking a great deal about my idea client lately and what is most important to them on their wedding day.
Is it the flowers, the food, the design, the band - and what I keep coming back to is that what is most important to them is that their wedding (intentionally and unapologetically) FEELS like them!

Took time this weekend to rest, play and process the most wonderful June.
June was filled with stunning designs, dream locations, amazing vendor partners and so much love. I'm immensely grateful to our clients for their trust and I am excited for all the magical moments yet to come!

Came in like a vision from the old west wind
Like a bright new dream that I was steppin' in
I saw your face and I knew it was a sign
And I still think about that moment all of the time
You know that I could never make this up
I found the reason I'm not givin' it up
I felt the fever when I knew he was mine
Oh I, I'm gonna love you for a long time" ~ Maggie Rogers

There are countless reasons I love what I do, but building life-long relationships with my clients stands out. Yet, my favorite part of the planning process is finding the perfect vendors to bring my clients' visions to life.
One of my guiding principles is that in every relationship, 1+1>2. The sum of the parts is greater than what we would be as individuals.
With this in mind, when matching vendors to clients, I seek out not just those who can perform the task, but those who will harmonize with the clients, the other vendors, and the LJE Team.
This industry is filled with extraordinarily talented professionals, and I am honored and humbled to work alongside them to create magic for my clients.

Being an entrepreneur is literally the craziest thing I have ever experienced. Owning my business has given me the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. While it has been tremendously rewarding, it also has left me constantly wondering if I am doing enough.
Enough for my clients, enough networking, enough professional development, posting on social media enough, investing in my business enough (or too much), and yet I rarely took time to wonder if I am doing enough for me, was I building a life I wanted, was I taking care of myself?
I left the corporate life behind to build a life I wanted, one that made ME happy, WHILE making others happy. Over the past couple years, I've somehow lost sight of that. It's been a bit more about the hustle and less about the "why".
So, last weekend, I gave myself permission to relax and be present with my family - and man, it felt good! I am back from Colorado feeling rested, refreshed, more confident than ever in my "why" and ready for two amazing celebrations in the next two weeks.

Lots of big feelings this week, as it is a HUGE week for LJE, and I couldn't be more excited.
I started working with K & J just over a year ago to plan their destination wedding in Woodstock/Quechee, Vermont, and I couldn't be more proud of what we've created.
The vendor team is phenomenal. While each member is technically fantastic at their roles, what makes this team unique is their passion and excitement for THIS celebration and how we've collaborated to make K & J's unique vision a reality.
I am so grateful for their professionalism and friendship, and I can't wait to share BTS later this week. So, stay tuned!

A little extra love for these two!
During the planning process, they were calm, quiet and reserved and on their wedding day... they radiated JOY!
Their wedding day was filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. I am thrilled that we were able to build a timeline that ensured they had plenty of quality time together without missing out on any of the festivities.
Cheers to the beginning of the next chapter, together.

Heading back to The Barn at Gibbet Hill this weekend, and I couldn't be more excited!
Nestled at the foot of Gibbet Hill, just beyond the picturesque Main Street of Groton, this beautifully renovated and restored 100-year-old barn offers rustic elegance with breathtaking views of rolling hills and conservation land.
The Barn epitomizes quintessential New England charm, making it an ideal setting for YOUR wedding. The team at The Barn is incredibly professional and dedicated, ensuring a smooth and thoroughly enjoyable planning process.
Bonus: the food is phenomenal.

"At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel" ~ Maya Angelou.
There are so many reasons that I love what I do and nothing beats building life-long relationships with our clients, their families and our vendor partners.
Hello & Happy Friday! I am Kelly Boyle, owner, and lead planner at LeslieJames Events.
Since we have so many new followers here, I'd like to reintroduce myself.
* Superpower: Sense of humor with problem solving a close second.
* Proudest Moments: Finishing a half marathon for charity and giving myself permission to leave the Corporate Finance world to build my dream business
* Favorite Flower: Tulips - they are so resilient! I also love lilacs, the smell brings me back to my childhood and my grandmothers backyard,
* Two things you will hear me say [constantly] during the planning process - "I've got this" and "It always works out as its meant to."
And finally, the best part of my job – building lasting relationships with clients.

Doing flat lays the morning of your wedding is one of my favorite parts of the day.
Styling your details is a beautiful and calming way to start. It gives me the chance to focus on the small, meaningful elements that will be part of your celebration.
Paying attention to intricate details like the rings, invitations, family heirlooms, and floral arrangements is very grounding and sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.
Plus, capturing these details creates stunning photos that highlight the unique aspects of your wedding.
This ritual helps me stay centered amidst the excitement and business of the wedding day!

One of my all-time favorite intentional design decision - M asked her students to draw what love meant to them, and we used the drawings as the cutest table numbers.
Each sketch was a window into the innocent and heartfelt interpretations of love, adding a personal, and often humorous, touch to every table.

Creating unforgettable moments where love and nature meet.
When we started planning M & E's fall wedding, M's one non-negotiable was a clear top tent so that the outside could seamlessly blend with the inside.
As the leaves gently fell around them, guests were immersed in the magic of the changing season.

Want your business to be the top-listed Event Planning Service?
At LeslieJames Events, we know that you cherish each and every fleeting moment. Nothing is more important than time spent with your loved ones as you make memories to last a lifetime. We know that you’re willing and able to do it all, because you already do and always have. You support your friends and family, pursue your passions, slay all day, and do everything with a giggle and a smile.
The truth is that life doesn’t always go as planned. Your plate is full, and although you’re armed with a sense of humor and a heart of gold, the stress and frustration of planning an event can take away from what’s really important: celebrating this magical, wonderful, imperfectly perfect life.
That’s where we come in — making magic from the imperfectly perfect.
We believe in hugs. We believe in finding joy in the simple things and rolling with the punches. We believe that to grow where you’re planted, you need to be nurtured. We believe in the power of tradition. We believe in telling stories while inspiring new ones. Because in this imperfectly perfect life, each magical moment should become a lasting memory.
