Take a few minutes alone after the wedding to celebrate being husband and wife!  

Wedding experience
I started in April 2021.

Hire Veil Events because…
A coordinator helps take all the stress off the bride, groom, wedding party, and family! Having a coordinator allows everyone to be in the moment! To not have to worry about the details they’ve worked so hard to put together, and know that we’re here to pull all those details together to make your wedding day as perfect as you planned it! 

Love for the industry
I love weddings for all the Emotions! Feeling the love between families. The closeness and history between bridal parties. The excitement that their special day is finally here! All the planning has come down to this magical moment! Wedding day is unlike any other day!

Our wedding day was FUN, STRESS FREE, and truthfully so enjoyable!

When I first started wedding planning, I had decided that we weren’t going to hire a planner or day of coordinator as it wasn’t necessarily in our budget. We had a 2 year long engagement and while I did a lot of the “big” planning things, I had decided a few months prior to our wedding that I was overwhelmed with all the “little” things that still needed to be taken care of. Throughout the whole planning process my fiance and I just kept saying “we just want to show up and get married” and we wouldn’t have been able to do that without Veil events. When I tell you Veil events is the number one vendor you should add into your budget, I mean it. I truthfully couldn’t imagine our day without Sydney and Lindsay. My husband comments regularly that spending our money on the day of coordination package was the best decision that we made. Our wedding day was FUN, STRESS FREE, and truthfully so enjoyable. They were also there for the rehearsal the night before which also calmed my nerves. I had never met them in person, but on my rehearsal night and wedding day, Sydney and Lindsay truthfully felt like my friends. We are forever grateful for them and would urge you to hire Veil events for your big day!

“Large and in-charge”, yet still so sweet and petite!

I was on the fence regarding wedding planners before this shindig, but not any more! We put Lindsay and Sydney from Veil Events to the absolute test throughout the entire afternoon and evening. Those two women dove in and did WHATEVER needed done and never once made us feel like our questions/concerns/memory problems were trivial. They kept each of us exactly where we needed to be, coordinated beautifully with Pastor Hank, made sure every step happened ON TIME, cut and served the cakes, bonked some heads when chairs needed moved, and were calm and courteous throughout, never even breaking a sweat. Best of all, they could tell everyone “where to go” at rehearsal and during the ceremony and nary a soul got upset because those girls were “large and in-charge” (yet still so sweet and petite!) and we all knew it. 💪The entire wedding day and night ran like a well-oiled machine thanks to these two ladies and their solid itinerary. **If you’re doing a wedding, spend the money on a Veil Events wedding planner – they are worth their weight in gold, truly!

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose Veil for my wedding in May. I was on the fence about hiring a coordinator, but I am so glad I did. Sydney Kilgore was my month of/day of coordinator. She had previous experience at my venue and was able to offer lots of insight/advice that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. We had a few FaceTime meetings leading up to my wedding which was super convenient for me. She answered all of my questions and made me feel confident that everything would go smoothly–and it absolutely did. The checklist they sent me was beyond helpful with both suggestions & keeping me on task. It helped me narrow down what was priority and what I felt I didn’t need, which was equally as important. Sydney was easy to get ahold of and always responded in a timely manner. On the day of my wedding, she & her assistant, Lindsay Eshelman, gave me so much confidence and kept the mood light amidst all of my anxiety. They handled the whole day like a pros and took care of the big & small things, from putting out our desserts at the reception, tracking down extra linens at the last minute, and even fishing for my sunglasses that got lost on our transport bus. I genuinely look back on the day and am so thankful I had them there. Highly, highly recommend Veil to any bride.

Veil Events was an absolute dream to work with and took all the stress our of our wedding day. Communication from day one was prompt, and Sydney was so thorough throughout our meetings that it kept me way ahead of my own planning. We did the Month Of Coordination package and it was worth even more than we paid for it! Sydney handled every detail perfectly, even covering for an issue with our caterer day-of. Her team set up our entire reception beautifully and the tear down crew was fast and professional. My goal for my wedding day was to not have to make a single decision, and Sydney made sure my dream came true! I cannot recommend Veil enough, it will change your entire wedding day experience for the better!
