Hired on Thumbtack

While MaKenna has been pursuing her wedding planning and coordination business for a year and a half at full throttle, her poise and professionalism makes it seem as though she has 20 years of experience in the business! She has a calming demeanor that is exactly what I needed as a stressed bride with a busy job and little time to plan my own wedding. We started working with her a year before our event and she was there to help coach us every step of the away as questions arose. She returns emails, texts and phone calls promptly, puts care into every bit of communication, and anticipates bride/groom needs in a way that's nothing short of impressive. Due to my husband and I's planning, we actually ran out of booze the first few hours of our wedding. But fear not! MaKenna guided our staffing team to make a Safeway run during the event, informed us (the bride/groom) of the extra purchase so it wasn't a shocker later, and our guests never even noticed. That's one of many examples of how MaKenna knows how to solve a problem without it ever turning into an issue. I also wanted to point out that she's great in handling varied bride-groom opinions. My husband and I didn't agree on some things throughout our wedding planning process and every time we had differing opinions in front of MaKenna, she calmly suggested solutions that met both of our concerns or pointed out if something didn't need to be discussed further, i.e. move on to the bigger ticket items vs. over-discussing details. I appreciated this as it helped us with momentum in our planning. I'm super confident that MaKenna's business will continue to thrive in the years to come! Thanks, MaKenna! We truly couldn't have done this without you.

Working with Mckenna to plan my wedding has been a dream. When thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, I hoped to find someone who would help me stick to a schedule and understand the vision had for my wedding. Mckenna has far exceeded these expectations. She worked with my fiance and I to create a checklist month by months that was easy to follow and low stress. She is full of creative ideas but is also respectful to my opinions, visions, and most importantly, the budget! I would recommend Mckenna to any bride or groom in need of a helping hand to plan their wedding or wanting fresh ideas on how to create their dream day.

All and all a very positive experience. McKenna is a very easy person to work with and communicates extremely well. I always felt heard in our discussions throughout and know that she will be clear and understanding with her responses. I enjoyed the unshakeable confident and supportive presence that she brings to the table. As issues or conflicts came up she always proves to be a critical thinker and a great problem solver. Several times she was very helpful and successful in giving our wedding planning good momentum. She has a consistent dependable resolve that has proven very advantageous for dealing with this entire process.

I would highly recommend MaKenna and Perfectly Planned Moments! She is an amazing mixture of organizational prowess mixed with creative energy! I found her to be very friendly and easy to work with and yet professional. She was flexible when I needed to change meeting times and punctual to her appointments. I am usually surprised at how quickly she gets things done in a quality fashion! I was especially amazed at her grace under pressure! She was so calm and creatively problem solved issues that were beyond her control. I found I could relax, knowing that she is managing everything! MaKenna has worked for me on several occasions and she has always exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants a efficient, quality and creative approach to their event!

I always like to meet with my clients for a free consultation so that I understand my clients' needs and so that they understand the services I offer before committing to anything.
