elpful suggestions along the way. She was incredibly organized, always ahead of schedule, and handled every detail with grace and precision. On the wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing—everything went smoothly, and we could just enjoy the celebration. Kim & Travis truly went above and beyond, and their expertise was invaluable. If you’re looking for an stress-free wedding experience with someone who truly cares about making your day perfect, look no further! We can’t thank you both enough!

ree not just for the bride, but the bridal party as well. I felt so supported by her all day, no request was too big for her! She was such a trooper and made the day perfect! I was genuinely relieved when I would see her throughout the day because I knew that things were getting done correctly! She was always where we needed her to be! If I had a question or needed some help, she was always super easy to find! She was extremely professional and it was obvious that she has a passion for her work and truly finds joy in making brides dreams come true!
This was my third time being a maid of honor in a wedding, and I am also married myself and without a doubt, she was the best day of coordinator I have ever worked with!
She was such a delight, extremely kind, positive, caring, and fun to be around!

Five stars truly aren’t enough. Bringing in Kimberly during the final weeks before our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.
We had a very DIY-heavy wedding with many per...
sonal details, and she stepped in seamlessly, quickly understanding our vision and taking so much stress off our shoulders. From organizing décor and managing timelines to handling last-minute details, she went above and beyond in every way.
What truly set her apart was how much she cared. She didn’t just do her job, she treated our wedding as if it were her own. Because of her, we were able to be fully present and enjoy our wedding day. We are so beyond grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough.

re at all. Kimberly deserves all the praise and more.
We were so impressed at the responsiveness and professionalism from Kimberly from our very first call - we booked her immediately afterwards. She was so thoughtful and helpful throughout the process and made everything go so smoothly. She brought up things we didn't think of, sent lots of encouragement and reassurance, and just made us feel better about everything. She and Travis also easily took care of several hiccups on the actual day.
We are so thankful we booked Kimberly to help us with our special day!

Summary/TLDR: We had a big Disney wedding with a lot of complex personal decor set up and Kimberly and Travis went above and beyond! Lessen your stress and book her!
Full review:...
My now husband and I had a big wedding at the Disneyland Hotel, and Disney does not handle any personal floral or decor, so we knew we would need help! We hired Kimberly for her full day of coordination service for things not provided by Disney, and it was by far one of the best decisions we made with the wedding.
We had a large wedding with over 250 guests, and our bridal party was huge as well, so there were a lot of moving parts.
When I first reached out, she responded quickly to let me know of her types of services and to set up a call. I was already pretty set on hiring her from the reviews I'd seen, but the call was also extremely helpful!
After hearing about our details, she recommended a DJ for us to request from Disney, who was absolutely perfect for our wedding!
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Kimberly checked in to see how I was doing and if I needed help with anything, even though I had only hired her for the day of coordination, which was so kind and thoughtful!
I was pretty frantic the morning of our wedding as I had overslept with still so much left to do. Kimberly was so helpful with everything - and really helped reduce and lessen my stress, which as anyone getting married would know, is priceless!
Kimberly and her husband handled all of our personal items so well - several of which had to be set up multiple times (e.g for the ceremony and then for cocktail hour or for cocktail hour and then for the reception). We had multiple guestbooks, some of which had multiple parts, multiple card boxes, favors for each family that had to be set up alphabetically (~150 bags), a huge memorial table full of pictures that I wanted set up in a very specific way, reserved row signs, a welcome sign, Filipino shawls for the wedding godmothers, custom bar signs, Venmo signs for the money dance etc.
We also enlisted their help last minute to help guide people to their table for the reception because of the way our seating chart was set up. Some cousins were supposed to help with that but got caught up in the moment and forgot! But Kimberly and Travis handled it themselves and made sure everything went smoothly!
At the end of the night, she and Travis made sure to pack up all of our personal items and bring them back to our getting ready room.
Kimberly and Travis also worked seamlessly with the Disney staff and other vendors! After the reception ended, I realized I had lost track of my Disney bouquet, to which I had attached irreplaceable sentimental items, and Kimberly, who was on her way home, contacted our Disney day of coordinator to help us find it in the nick of time!!
If Kimberly was this fantastic with just day of service, I can't even imagine how incredible she is with full planning.
I absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Brides and grooms - do yourself a favor and hire her!!!

dibly effective. They were also highly adaptable in accommodating our busy schedule and helping us stay on track.
The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they captured amazing footage throughout our wedding day and ensured that every small detail was seamlessly finalized. For example Kimberly and Travis arranged all of our personal decor for our ceremony and reception, and it came out perfect!
Kimberly and her husband went above and beyond in their service, and I would wholeheartedly recommend their full planning package to any couple in need of a reliable, thoughtful, and superb wedding coordinator!

detail was handled—things I never would’ve even thought of were already taken care of. The day of our wedding was completely stress-free because she had everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. I was able to just enjoy the moment knowing she had it all under control. Our guests even commented on how smooth and beautiful everything felt. If you want someone who truly cares and makes your vision come to life, especially from a distance, I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I don't really write reviews, but I wanted to give Kim the credit she deserves! I was searching around for a day-of planner and found Kim on the knot website. I reached out to her,...
and immediately received a response from her! We got to meet over zoom, and I could tell we were going to be in good hands. Wedding planning is stressful regardless of how early you start planning out, but Kim really loves what she does and she actually makes you feel excited (versus stressed) when it comes to planning and talking about wedding details! She virtually met with us multiple times, created a wedding day timeline, and ensured that our wedding day ran smoothly. For me, I needed a day-of planner because I wanted our families to enjoy our wedding day instead of worrying about all the details of the ceremony and reception. I can confidently say, Kim did not disappoint. We had a bunch of hiccups during the ceremony and reception, but Kim was quick on her feet and smoothed everything over beautifully. I cannot sing her praises and thank her enough! Overall, she is a great communicator, knows what she is doing, and really takes care of her brides. If you are looking for a wedding planner, please consider Kim! She's got you. 10/10!

We hired Kimberly (and Travis) as our Personal Coordinators for our daughter's wedding at Disneyland Resort. We had a number of personal items that we needed set up and taken down ...
at the ceremony, pre-reception, and reception, and Disney does not handle those items. As MotB, I couldn't be in two places at once, let alone more than that, so I needed help on the wedding day, and Kimberly was perfect in every way! She was a Disney bride herself, so she knows the process inside and out. She came to us highly recommended by our Disney wedding planning team, and she has earned every bit of her good reputation.
While we only needed her services for the day of our wedding, she was in contact with us many times beforehand, always with helpful advice, lots of enthusiasm, and good questions that made me feel confident that everything would go just as well as if I could have done it myself. If you are a Disneyland Bride, don't think twice, hire her now! She can also plan your entire event and works in many locations, so if you need even more help, I would definitely recommend her.

Kimberly is very organized. She created and managed our wedding day timeline and ensured every little detail was considered. She helped us with vendor communication and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding.
Thanks to Kimberly and Travis, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without stress. Our day could not have been more
perfect because of their efforts!
We wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone getting married!

My now husband and I came across Kimberly on some Facebook wedding groups. We got married at one of the Anaheim Disney hotels and Disney requires an outside day of coordinator. Kim...
berly’s work ethic is impressive and her care and commitment came across in every interaction we had with her whether by text, phone, or in person. I liked her immediately after our screening call with her–and to boot, she took this call with us while she was on vacation.
As she is also a former Disney bride, she was able to provide invaluable advice both from the perspective of a former bride as well as a planner who’s worked several Disney weddings. She knew both our ceremony and reception sites inside and out. Her planning team consists of her and her husband Travis and he is also very easy to work with. She had so many ideas which helped make our amazing wedding day even better, and was not offended even when we didn’t go with some ideas–but we did go with many of her suggestions. In particular, I appreciated her help narrowing down my choices for my hair and makeup vendor, as there were so many from which to choose. If my husband and I ever have a vow renewal some day, I would not hesitate to hire Kimberly again!

nd phone. Has great ideas. We often would bounce different ideas off her from everything from table numbers and how to slim down our overall budget. Does great add ons (her signage is wonderful!). She ended up putting out our DIY items @ Brisa Courtyard and Sequoia Ballroom for us. Our wedding would not be ½ the event without her. She met with us in person and over phone multiple times and her advice as both a former Disney bride and now a planner was invaluable. I would highly recommend her to any couple that needs a planner without any reservation.

Our guests had the best time, and so did we! Forever grateful!

lways timely, detailed, and friendly. Kimberly and her husband were truly passionate about their work, and it showed in every aspect of our day. They were punctual, flexible, and made the entire process fun and stress-free. I particularly enjoyed watching them quietly communicate with each other to coordinate big moments, like when they were waiting for their queue to open the big double doors for me to walk down the aisle. Getting to quietly witness that passion for their work put a smile on my face. Their obvious love for what they do was infectious and made our wedding day that much more amazing. It was also so convenient to rent our photobooth through Kimberly, it made for one less vendor for me to have to coordinate and it was great having the photobooth there for as long as we had coordinating. They brought fun props too!! I cannot recommend Kimberly's Ever After Planning highly enough!

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning is the whole reason my day went so smoothly and I didn’t spend the whole day worrying.
I hired Kimberly’s Ever After Planning for outside day of co...
ordination for my Disneyland Hotel Wedding. From the moment I booked them, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. I knew that my DIY & Personal items would be handled carefully and nobody from the wedding party or any guests would have to take time out of their day to set it up.
I had lots of communication from Kimberly from the moment I booked with her until the wedding day. Kimberly and her husband Travis had the same venues as we did for their own wedding, plus she has worked many Disneyland weddings as a planner, so I knew she was someone I could trust to know all the details & peculiarities when having a Disneyland Wedding.
On the day of the wedding I just showed Kimberly and Travis all the items I had, I had binned them up and labeled them, and they handled everything from then on. I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was getting my hair & makeup done because they were handling it all and updating me occasionally.
Kimberly even ran to get a tide pen for me from my hotel room when I spilled cupcake on my white shirt!
At the end of the reception, Kimberly & Travis packed up all my items and they were so smooth at it, I didn’t even notice them while I was dancing with my friends!
I also hired Kimberly’s Ever After Planning for content creation, and once everything was set up, Kimberly and Travis got so much footage of behind the scenes, the ceremony, and reception footage. I didn’t know if I wanted to spend the money on a videographer & hiring them for content creation was a happy medium.
I definitely recommend hiring Kimberly’s Ever After Planning, especially if you’re having a Disneyland Wedding. They know what they’re doing, and they’re going to take care of you, and care about making your day special just as much as you do.

You can’t find anyone better than Kimberly. She’s the BEST in the game. I would have another celebration with her by my side.

We hired Kim as our wedding planner about 9 months before our wedding. At that time, we had almost no idea of what we wanted or where we wanted it. We knew we wanted a fall wedding...
in Flagstaff and that was about it! Kim was ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL in our planning and made the entire process so easy and fun!!! I absolutely loved working with her. She was so easy to trust and I had the easiest time just allowing her to do what needed to be done-and that is really saying something for me as I tend to have a hard time relinquishing control! She was integral in finding vendor options for us and helping us find things within our budget. She listened to what we wanted and asked the right questions to help us figure out what that even was! Kim and Travis clearly enjoy what they do, and are so genuine in their care and excitement for your big day. They took care of things that I’m sure I don’t even know about. Our wedding day went seamlessly and was so fun and I know it was because we had them leading it! If you are hesitating about hiring them, DON’T. You will not regret it. I could continue to ramble on and on about how much I loved them, but the moral of the story is that they are phenomenal at what they do and you should have hired them yesterday.

If you are a Disney Bride you NEED to hire Kimberly and her husband Travis as your Day of Coordinators! I cannot thank them enough!! My wedding was such a dream come true and I cou...
ldn’t have done it without them.
From the start Kimberly was very supportive, I was having constant panic attacks due to how much stress I was having. I met with her and her husband for coffee and I had instant relief! Kimberly insured me that everything will be perfect, she wasn’t wrong!
From doing our ceremony music, setting up all my decor for the ceremony and reception. I thought my husband and I forgot our lightsabers in our dressing room for our battle and nope! Kimberly had them ready for us at our reception. The reception decor was perfectly done!
If you want your wedding day to be less stressful and have nothing to worry about you need to hire Kimberly!! Absolutely highly highly recommend!! You won’t be disappointed!

Kimberly truly was my “Fairy Godmother” for the 11 months we worked together. She guided me through everything and recommended amazing vendors. From my hair and makeup to the baker...
y she went above and beyond for everything. All of my friends and family at the wedding wanted to check on me and make sure I wasn’t too stressed but I wasn’t stressed at all because I knew Kimberly had everything handled. She had a solution for everything and was always right on top of it! I see her more as a friend than a wedding planner, she made my wedding day exactly what I was imagining. She made my dream come true!

WOW!!! So many amazing things to say about Kimberly and her hubbie assistant. From the get go Kim made herself super available for phon...
e calls and texts. She even made sure we talked prior to booking to make sure it was a good fit!
I hired her as a day of coordinator, and I’m SO happy I did. I had a stress free wedding day because I trusted Kimberly to create the vision!
It was so fun sending her pics and decor throughout the planning process, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and wants you as the bride to have the best day ever!
I am forever grateful for everything she did to make my day a real life fairytale.

The experience I had with Kim & Travis was more than amazing. From the moment we had our first meeting, I knew I wanted to have them as our coordinators right away. Their vibes wer...
e phenomenal and I knew I could trust them immediately. Not once was I ever disappointed in my planning process or on my wedding day. I always felt heard and seen if I had any issues with my venue and/or vendors, for I would express them to Kim and she fixed them immediately. As a bride, I felt so comfortable, I often found myself asking for advice from Kim and she always gave the most positive advice anytime I felt stressed. She's such a joy to have around and to contact 24-7. Kim & Travis paid so much attention to detail in our conversations, they even kept a white claw and a shot of whiskey ready for my husband & I when we were done with taking our wedding photos! We didn't even ask them to do that but they remembered what exactly we enjoyed drinking and decided to have that ready for us which we thought was so thoughtful and considerate! It was so nice to have that since it was our first toast as husband and wife! (We're not fans of champagne😂) On the day of the wedding, I was having issues with my bustle but kim was always on duty and ready, fixing it whenever it needed to be fixed. They both checked on us to see how we were doing throughout the wedding and I'm so grateful that they cared. I genuinely cannot recommend Kim & Travis enough. They went above and beyond and I am so thankful to have had them with us during the planning process and on our wedding day. You will not regret booking them!
