Kelsey has been planning all kinds of events for over 10 years (birthdays, holiday parties, concerts, fundraisers). Connor & Co. officially began after her wedding in 2016 and she has been planning weddings officially for 5 years.

There is so much to advise but first and foremost know you get what you pay for in this industry. The professional vendors we recommend are trying to pay bills and give your big day the focus it needs! And in order to do that and give you a stellar experience they need to be priced appropriately.

Pop a squat, it's a story. I started planning events in highschool for a couple of business owners and LOVED it. I also took horticulture and loved getting to play with plants and flowers. I worked in the music industry planning events, fundraisers, and concerts and knew I wanted to do events but still wanted something more. Then friends started getting married, and the rest is history. I absolutely adore this industry and the love surrounding it. We are here to love on these couples and designing the wedding of their dreams and I couldn't imagine my life doing anything else.

Our office is smack dab in the middle of Memphis, TN. This allows us a broad range of locations we can service. We try to stick between Nashville, Little Rock, and Oxford but are open to going to other locations. Message us and lets chat about options!

We have our business license, we are registered as an LLC, and have been certified by the Bridal Society. We also have business insurance. However, there isn't technically a licensing company for wedding professionals (such as a contractor or oosmetology license). We do go above and beyond to learn all there is about the industry and its ever changing needs though. We do at least 2 workshops or continuing education programs a year.

For our largest package we will select vendors and negotiate contracts if necessary or desired but the final signature and payment comes straight from you. We want you to be aware of who is selected and where the money is going. Also, we never take commission from our vendors, we know they have gone through the process of calculating their costs and priced themselves accordingly and we do not ask for discounts or commissions.

Yes! We are experienced and all of our planning literature has been crafted to be inclusive (if you ever find something noninclusive please bring it to our attention), and we like to challenge heteronormativity and gender roles in the wedding industry on a regular basis.

Get an ideal date, guest count and budget in your head then head to see a wedding planner! Even if you mainly just need someone to help pull your day together they can get you headed in the right direction. Some people check out a venue and photographer in these first steps as well but a planner can help make sure your budget is being allocated in the best places!

A wedding planner wears many hats. Depending on who you choose some also design, produce, and manage your event. We handle vendor communication, logistics, and timing to make sure your event is flawless in your guests eyes. It is like a steering wheel and gas pedal of a car, you can have all of the other parts and it will run but who knows where it will go or how fast, you need someone overseeing the grand scheme of the day and ensuring everyone is in communication and working as a team.

I would never say they can't, some are very organized and would do a good job. However, we have been doing this for years and have seen everything under the sun, we help you avoid those mishaps that come up before they even have a chance. You also want these people to enjoy the day. A lot of this job is handling the little things that pop up on event day. It doesn't fail that these things happen as you are walking down the aisle or when pictures that they need to be in are taking place. These people also probably want to enjoy the party and it can be hard manage everything while you are on the dance floor.

Not generally, we can do a lot with smaller budgets. Most of our weddings that you see start at 20k. The main thing to keep in mind is that the lower the budget the lower your guest count needs to be to pull together your dream event. Also, come in open minded if you have a strict budget, we will suggest cost saving options.

We love planning weddings of all styles. We have multiple planners on staff and try to fit you with who we believe is the best fit for your big day! We specialize in nontraditional weddings but love everything from modern industrial weddings to southern backyard weddings to ornate victorian weddings. You can see the variety of our wedding in our portfolio of weddings! Even if you mainly just need someone to help pull your day together, we love a challenge. Give us your ideas and let's see what we can create!
