Kelsey flawlessly captured our vision, infusing it with her creative eye and impeccable design aesthetic. Despite our initial worries of planning a wedding with all of us 3,000 miles away, Kelsey quickly became an expert in our destination – helping us source vendors that matched our vision, coordinating seamlessly with them throughout, and giving us confidence every step of the way.

Beyond her organizational prowess, Kelsey’s calm and reassuring demeanor put us at ease. Her communication was always prompt and thorough, ensuring we felt informed and involved every step of the way. Thanks to Kelsey, we were able to completely relax and savor every moment of our wedding day – knowing she had everything handled. If you’re seeking a local or destination wedding planner who can bring your vision to life and deliver with with unparalleled expertise and care, look no further than Downey Street Events. It was a wedding beyond our wildest dreams, all thanks to Kelsey and her team.

My guests told me my wedding was the best one they had ever been to and like it was straight out of a fairytale. Downey Street Events understands the unique needs of busy professional women for their wedding — meticulous organization done in a sophisticated style. Working with Shaley is a master class in event management. I’ve taken some of her process into my own business practice! Throughout the months, people would ask me how wedding planning was going, and I would honestly say everything was perfectly buttoned up. From vendors, to catering details, to venue collaboration, Shaley took care of all of it, letting me focus on the fun stuff. On our last Zoom call, I told Shaley how much I would miss our weekly meetings — not only for the wedding planning, but because it was refreshing to have such an organized, efficient, uplifting meeting in a work week.

The day of the wedding Shaley and her team flawlessly executed every little detail — especially the ones that we had talked about that meant a lot to me. She created an experience for me and my guests that they will never forget and months later are still talking about. Thank you, Shaley, for your world-class brilliance.

From the very first time we met with Kristen, she made us feel at ease, listened to what we liked and disliked about past weddings, and clearly articulated what the overall timeline (including month-to-month action items) would look like. It was no surprise then that when Kristen presented us with a draft design board based on our vision / inspirations, she absolutely nailed it on the first try – we literally did not have to make any changes and were so happy with the options she recommended. The actual wedding weekend itself also went perfectly, and Kristen and her team were instrumental in making that happen. Kristen made sure we kept to the schedule, were exactly where we needed to be at all times. They made sure we could focus entirely on each other, family, and friends and not worry about any logistics.

If it wasn’t obvious already, we highly, highly recommend working with Kristen and Downey Street Events for any and all your wedding planning needs, and are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work Kristen and her team put in making our wedding weekend perfect.

There are a few planning companies that are just absolute stars in the industry and the DSE group is one of them. I always look forward to working with Kelsey and her team. Flawlessly executed, beautifully personal to every client, and focused – DSE’s events are always top tier with that extra magic that comes with professionals deeply invested in the work they do.

All of their event designers understand that the customer experience pre-wedding is just as important as their experience on the day itself and they really strive to care for and nurture their couples. They learn their personalities, help refine their vision for the celebration, coordinate hundreds of details and become trusted friends in the process. Guests are wow-ed, the couple is relaxed and vendors are able to do their very best work. This is all due to a highly organized team led by Kelsey who understands all the nuances of how to plan and implement all the back-end logistics that have to come before the pretty.

Weddings are once in a lifetime events and this is the team that everyone deserves to have supporting them on their special day.

I highly recommend Kelsey and her team as wedding planners. They are incredibly creative and always come up with unique and stunning ideas for their clients. In addition, they are great collaborators and are always open to input and ideas from other vendors. Kelsey is a gifted leader and keeps everything running smoothly on the day of the event. Working with them in our capacity as event florists has been a pleasure time and time again, and I am confident that they will exceed any couple’s expectations on their special day.
