"I did not have 1 thing go wrong on my wedding day, and if I did, I knew nothing about it before it was fixed by Dana and her team." - Leah and Jake

RECLAIM THE FUN
I’m Dana Allison (she/her), and while my official title is owner and lead wedding planner at Keyed Up Events, I prefer to think of myself as a joy guide. Getting married should be one of the most magical times in your life, and with our help, it will be.
Meet the KUE Team!
"We hired KUE as our day-of-coordinator, and from the moment we looped them into our process (7 months out) they were fully available and helped us along every step of the way. They completely exceeded my expectations for a day-of-coordinator.
As a more hands on bride, I was super excited to dive into the details of the wedding and loved Dana's support. I know that if I needed a more hands on approach she would have been able to provide that as well.
KUE is extremely organized with their checklists, vendor recommendations, and timelines. They made me feel calm throughout the whole process and I always felt like I was in good hands. She had so many vendor recommendations for us and was able to coordinate amongst vendors. The week of the wedding she handled all logistics with vendors and made sure I didn't have to do ANYTHING the day of the wedding.
My advice - loop KUE in the second you start planning your event :)"

"After working in the wedding industry for 5+ years, when I was planning my wedding I knew exactly who I wanted as my planner, and of course, we chose Dana and her team. Dana is a fabulous planner and pays meticulous attention to detail. I really thought I knew each detail that I had to cover on my checklist but I was surprised at many of the questions on Dana's checklist - the level of detail her team goes to is extraordinary. I think the most helpful part of hiring Dana was having someone who I could bounce ideas off of at any time, as well as thinking through each scenario and how we wanted the night to play out. Decision fatigue is real and the KUE team was able to keep me on track, and feeling great throughout the process. The night of our wedding, I didn't have to think of a single thing, and it was wonderful. Dana kept the whole team of vendors on track and everything went off perfectly. I wouldn't have changed a thing."

"We are really glad we hired Dana! Her expertise made the planning process SO much easier: she had awesome venue and vendor recommendations, she was great at helping us manage both the big picture decisions and the nitty-gritty details, and she was just a kind, reasonable person to work with. The KUE team were great and super organized on our actual wedding day, as well--Dana and her assistant planners kept track of all the details for us and made sure everything ran smoothly and efficiently."

"We hired Dana for day-of coordination. Alexis also helped. They seamlessly handled all vendor organization, room equipment movements, lighting... everything else that needed to happen. Hire Keyed Up Events and you will not regret it. It's as simple as that."
