WEDDING PLANNER IN KANSAS CITY & THE MIDWEST
A warm welcome to you.
You’ve stopped by quite a special little place. This is the virtual office of Abby Mitchell Event Design and Planning – a wedding planner in Kansas City known for our artful design and polished etiquette. We'll execute events wherever the party takes you, but lay our heads most nights right in the heart of the Midwest.
I invite you to sit and stay for a bit. Get inspired. Have a laugh. What good is a life if not lived for the moments that make it lovely?
a pretty
process
To me, great design is simply thoughtful functionality that looks pretty. The first step for me is always analyzing the need, the ideal use. Then comes conceptualizing and dreaming about how those concepts will be viewed. I work big picture down to little details and just for fun, I'll share a little overview of what that looks like.
Even Bill Gates has a budget, you guys. Let's step into some fiscal freedom by knowing exactly what your expectations cost and where your budget priorities lie.
Thirteen years of industry knowledge means you have a seasoned veteran on your side when it comes to understanding negotiation tactics and pricing standards.
set a budget and gather a guest list
secure key vendors
Next up - building a killer team that supports your vision specifically. You don't need to spend your own precious time researching or screening, simply benefit from our respected reputation among the vendor community and our trusted network of vendors. Want to use a new, up-and-coming vendor? Great! We’ll employ our thorough vetting process to ensure excellent quality and that you are getting the best team for you and your priorities individually.
establish the design
Picture this, you fill out a modern-day Teen Vogue quiz to determine your ultimate wedding style, but it’s actually a questionnaire for your real-life wedding planner who takes your hopes, dreams and personal taste and turns it into a 30+ page design document encompassing the essence of your perfect day. You don’t go blindly from vendor to vendor or scour Pinterest for inspiration. You simply have an artfully crafted plan for:
1. the timeline that keeps you and your guests' experience in mind,
2. the layout from a visionary eye to emphasize your priorities (like big feature moments or intricate, textured details) and,
3. the design components that are feasible within the events industry for your look and budget.
ensure nothing is forgotten
You sleep easy knowing each and every tiny task is not only accounted for, but done in the correct order with our comprehensive monthly planning checklist. Created from
our decade+ of experience and insight and set to your specific engagement length the approach is far from generic. With a shared copy for each of us and a monthly meeting at minimum we simply move through the list together offering insight and updates as needed.
serve, love, and celebrate!
It's the big day! This is the moment where preparation meets presence. Every priority has been established, every detail considered, every decision already made.
​
Your priorities take shape through precise execution, leaving you free to simply feel - the anticipation, the joy, the significance of the moment. With buffer time and backup elements thoughtfully accounted for, the day is guided with authority and care, creating space for both you and your guests to experience it fully.
Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels overlooked.
You remain present for the moments that matter most.
