Britney
Wedding: 7/17/11
Here,s To You... really got to know who I was and made sure that my vision was carried out. From the importance of the complicated walk down the aisle, to the rain and making sure cocktail hour still happened outside because that was important to me. One of my biggest regrets from the wedding was that I didn’t get in the photo booth more. You knew that was important to me and ust yesterday I was talking to one of my bridesmaids and I was telling her how I almost didn’t even get in the photo booth and the booth was about to shut down! She said, “Britney, the only reason you even got one picture in there is because Kelli, grabbed me and told me to get you and remind you that it was closing and I needed to get in there!” I don’t even know how you knew I didn’t get in there! But because of you I have pictures!!
Honestly, I was complete against hiring a wedding planner. I had been to weddings where I just saw the planner standing around and thought it was pointless to spend money on something I could just do myself if I stayed organized or delegated things to my friends and family. To this day, I have no idea what I would have done without her. But the most critical service Kelli provided me was a piece of mind on the most important day of my life and the weeks leading up to it. Her personality, comfort, confidence and willingness to make my life easier made my life and wedding so much more enjoyable.

Kelli is such an organized and professional person. Not only did she relieve my anxiety by handling day-of details and flow, but she is kind, generous, and very pleasant to be around. I was impressed, and my family and guests were impressed by her level of competence as well. I am forever grateful for the help she gave us on our wedding day!

I was referred to Kelli Crannell at Here's To You . . . Weddings and Events by my sister and have been impressed since our first meeting. My wedding is planned for the summer of 2012, but living in New York with a hectic work schedule as a lawyer, planning a destination wedding, and trying to organize dress shopping with my mom and sisters who live in Denver and Minnesota has resulted in my needing help from an experienced planner to ensure all details are covered and executed meticulously. I most recently flew into Denver for a round of dress shopping and Kelli arranged all of the boutique appointments and ensured we kept with the itinerary and schedule for the day. Her professionalism and knowledge about the industry and current trends is impressive and I can honestly say that Kelli has made the daunting task of wedding planning much easier. I look forward to continuing to work with her and Here's to You throughout my planning process.

This past weekend my husband and I attended a fundraiser that was coordinated by Kelli Crannell. It was a spectacular event!! Kelli ran the silent auction that raised a multitude of funds for the organization and did it with a grace and style that I have never experienced in all of the fundraisers I have attended. This event did have a budget and she was able to stay within those limits while making the fundraiser a success. The centerpieces were spectacular and food was magnificent! If you are looking for a classy, well-organized event planner, Kelli is your gal. I personally have referred Kelli as an event planner to all of the other Dr.'s wives in my husband’s practice. Her style and grace is to be commended! Thank you again Kelli!

As a very nervous mother of the bride, I wanted to simplify alll the details of my daughter's upcoming wedding. My daughter had planned a wedding in Mexico and was finding communication with the wedding coordinator at the resort very difficult. This is when I contacted, Here's to You to ask for some help negotiating with the resort. Kelli Crannel was more than helpful with contacting and discussing wedding details with the resort. Her expertise in the coordination of seating, set-up and placement of tables and flowers at the wedding made for a much more beautiful beach side ceremony. The resort coordinator was too busy to help with much on the day of the wedding. She had other events to deal with that same day. Kelli handled all the details for the day and this made the day run smoothly. My daughter and I where so happy to have her there to help us. Having her on sight was so beneficial we where able to enjoy the day. I will use; Here's to You.... Wedding and Events again, and would recommend it to friends and family. I planning on using her services for my oldest daughter's up coming wedding in Vermont, 2012.

As mother of the groom, I would like to comment on the wonderful job Kelli did in handling the "day of coordination". Our son's wedding was planned from a city 1600 miles away from the actual event. Needless to say, there were concerns on my part as to how everything would flow the day of the wedding. Kelli immediately put my mind at ease and made sure all vendors handled the plans as requested and the late afternoon wedding played out beautifully.

Kelli Crannell did an excellent job in helping assist in the final days prior to our wedding day. This is what we had wanted was the assistance in the final hours to help relieve the last minute stressors of having an out of town wedding. She helped the two of us organize the ceremony/reception site, assist in finalizing the decorations, organizing the wedding party to walk down the aisle, and making sure we were starting everything in a timely manner. She was having direct contact with the caterer, cake decorator, dj service, and event site personnel. Kelli was a valuable asset when it came down to the intricacy of the wedding day which basically was flawless from my perspective. A majority of the guests felt it was a very nice wedding and well-orchestrated as it was not a traditional wedding. The wedding party danced down the aisle individually and then as a group to allow the groom to pass through and they followed suit and stood up in the front as the bride danced down the aisle as well. This was all done with Kelli cueing the wedding party as to when to enter. I would definitely recommend hiring Kelli, as a wedding planner, as she was a tremendous asset throughout the whole planning process.
Sincerely,
Tim and Dee
