THE PLAN BEHIND THE PARTY

The behind-the-scenes support that makes it all feel effortless.

We’re Kelley James Events — a wedding planning and coordination team known for thoughtful guidance, steady leadership and celebrations that feel as good as they look. From full-service planning to wedding day management, we offer a range of support designed to meet you exactly where you are. This is where intention meets ease, where behind-the-scenes work turns into unforgettable moments — and where your wedding day magic begins.

OUR SERVICES

A wedding day might look effortless—but that ease comes from a whole lot of thoughtful planning behind the scenes. From timelines to logistics (and allll the little details in between) we’re here to guide the process with care so you can feel calm, supported and fully present for every moment—because you deserve to live it up on your big day!

For the couple who wants a fully customized planning experience from start to finish. From vendor sourcing and design concepts to budget management and day-of coordination, I’ll be with you every step of the way to bring your vision to life.
For the couple who wants to be hands-on with some elements but also have expert guidance along the way. I’ll help with vendor recommendations, timeline creation, and key planning milestones, giving you the confidence that nothing is being overlooked. Also includes wedding management.
Often referred to as “day-of coordination,” my Event Management package is for the couple who has most of the planning covered but wants a professional to step in to ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day. I’ll step in 60 days before your wedding day to handle and finalize the logistics, vendor coordination, and timeline so you can focus on your celebration.
