About
I believe that your special day should be stress free. I will take the stress out of your day and keep you on track and on budget.
My attention to detail, and my creative insight that allows me to to see a couples dream and bring it to life.
I even have a 'Playroom' where you can put together table settings to see what you want. I will make sure your colors are there so you really can see it all.
I am a Corporate Controller by day. This does not feed my creative side/need. I have always been an organizer so I am combining my talents to pull things together with my intensely creative side and found being a wedding consultant works great for me.

My experience was nothing short of amazing. It only took one time for me to explain my vision and she captured it completely. She was always available to answer any questions, sometimes even late at night! I could call, text, or email her and she would respond in a timely manner. She helped me with everything. We met vendors together and she made that process very easy. She made sure everyone we met was within my budget. She made sure to touch base on the numbers often so that I wouldn't go over my budget, and I didn't. Bindy is so creative and talented. She actually saved me money by showing me different ways we could accomplish what I wanted. If I was the least bit stressed over a minor detail, she made sure she had a solution on the spot, or she made it, and I was a happy Bride again. She made sure I was happy throughout the entire planning process and was able to keep me calm. When she would tell me we had something I thought we couldn't get, I was reminded why I hired her. Bindy gets it done. My wedding was held at Mount Palomar Winery and it was beautiful. The only thing that could have been a disaster was my wedding dress. The night before the wedding a string of pearls snapped from my dress and of course I was losing my mind. Bindy came to the rescue, calm as can be, along with her beautiful daughter Sheena, who actually designed my dress, and they fixed it. Talk about going Above and Beyond. Done. Stress gone! Aside from that nothing went wrong. If anything did, I know Bindy made sure she resolved it because we didn't find out. The guests were happy, everyone was happy and impressed with what they saw. Every detail I discussed with Bindy was well executed the day of my wedding. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way the day turned out! Bindy you have been a blessing, thank you for all your hard work and for getting things done! You're a Rockstar THANK YOU!!!

What I had envisioned my wedding day to be like was more perfect than I had ever dream of. Bindy was very professional and provided help during the entire planning process. She was always there to easy my stress and made sure we were always taken care of. Thank you Bindy for making our wedding day one of the most memorable moments in our lives. There are no words that will ever express our gratitude.

I wish i would of found Bindy sooner but I'm so happy I found her even if it was 3-4 weeks before my actual wedding. From the first moment I met with Bindy, my stress level dropped and I felt such great energy from her. She was a great day of coordinator and she set up our venue beautifully. I was so impressed with all the little details she added to our wedding. She managed the day great, she gave me such peace of mind.

First let me say that we began planning our wedding 5 months before our date & we had no clue how to put anything together. We hired all our vendors & we made it a point in our budget to hire a wedding planner. The last thing I wanted on this important day was stress.
First, we must say She was incredibly budget friendly; this was HUGE for us considering our total cost was $4000, which isn't much for a wedding now a days.
My husband and I had a vision in our heads for the wedding, but we had no clue how to make it happen. Bindy made our dream wedding come true & SO much more!
She provided many decorative items like vases, candle holders, and a variety of love signs. She also provided at an extremely low cost table lines, which she has in many colors.
She was also able to help us find a DJ completely last minute when ours bailed on us. DJ Jim Smith was also very professional & appropriate at the wedding. The florist was another vendor Bindy helped us get in contact with & helped us get beautiful flowers at a great price!
I truly didn't think I would have such a beautiful wedding as I did on the small budget we had.Bindy helped the day go by smoothly & it was stress free for my husband and I.
I cannot say enough good things about how amazing Bindy is. She has a beautiful heart & loves what she does. She's a genuine person who truly cares about each couple she works with, which was apparent in the 4 meetings we had with her.
We met four times prior to the big day and after every meeting, my husband and I felt great weights come off out shoulders. She always reassured us that it was going to be beautiful and in the end, we didn't worry about a thing & let Bindy do her job. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional every step of the way!
With all that, my husband and I can say confidently, we highly recommend Bindy O'Kelly! As cheesy as it sounds, she's a dream come true.

Bindy is everything a bride needs and more. I initially started the wedding planning process more than a year ago so by the time I met her I already had an idea in my mind of how I wanted the day to go. As a day-of-coordinator, she listened to my vision, offered important, critical feedback and tips, and took over the reins on the big day so that I didn't have to worry about any of it.
From day one, she went above and beyond as a DOC and set out place settings in her showroom with mock-ups of the centerpieces so that I could see what everything would look like. She offered me everything she had - linens, vases, any additional decor that I didn't already think of, and sometimes even the ones I already had! I was so impressed by her knowledge and experience and her ability to think of every disaster and every contingency plan- one of my bridesmaids ripped her dress and she even had a sewing kit with exactly the right color fabric on the day of!
Bindy did everything she said she would- she contacted all vendors before the event; she toured the venue with me before the day of, she made sure we had a complete minute-by-minute timeline for all the vendors, and she took everything home at the end of the night so that I wouldn't have to worry about transporting extra stuff as the bride. As with any wedding, of course one always expects small hitches and mini-crises, but Bindy handled it all with aplomb and I saw her true gracefulness under pressure (broken shoe! missing earring backs! dying goldfish!), as well as all the work she did to make sure everything was broken down and packed up from the venue once the wedding was over.
The only thing to take note of is that she is very busy, as wedding planning is not her full time job, and even her nights and weekends are often booked by other brides' weddings or other events! For someone who lives close by and doesn't mind driving to her house, though, it's not a big problem at all and easy enough to make multiple trips to get everything done. She has lovely dogs at her house that are a pleasure to visit, and overall has been such a great person and a friend during my wedding process. I'm truly grateful that she helped us make sure that everything went relatively smoothly. Anybody who has no idea how a wedding is supposed to run will not go wrong by choosing her from the very beginning. Thank you!
