Best Event Planner Independence Near Me

Brenna Nunn: I wouldn't have picked no one else for my babyshower

Eva Smith: They did an amazing display at my daughter's event I would definitely recommend them for any kind of event you are going to have.

Brandi Berry: My experience was AMAZING! The staff was professional, personable, and prompt with all our requests. Can't wait to do business with the team again.

Dae Bagman: We had so much fun !!! The place was great and decoration was next level thanks R&R for the experience

Mekhi: Beautiful set up!Booked for a graduation and was blown away!! The balloons and decor were outstanding. Great communication between owner and I. Overall loved the experience and will be booking again,

Diana Norris: Awesome experience. I will use this venue again.

Mirella Mtz: A great place to have an event. Was here for a vendor event it was very clean and very comfortable place to be. Recommend 100%

Eric McGriff: Horrible

Jorge Rivera: R&R Creation…. More like R&R Cremations. My family booked this place for a 1 year old birthday party and we’ll we showed up and had to immediately start cleaning. It’s not acceptable when you have to have your guests clean for a venue you paid a lot of money for. Trash cans full looked like the owner had a McDonald’s happy meal and forgot to pick up her Buffalo sauce off from the window sill, the males bathroom toilet is hanging off from the wall. What can I say we should’ve waited to have a Halloween party here because this place is definitely looked perfect for a horror house. Safe your money and go somewhere else. Unless you want training on how to be part of a cleaning crew cleaning after parties except it’s your party and your doing the cleaning in the time you booked the place for to avoid extra fees. Lucky for this business there isn’t a 0 star review!

Derricka Horne: shalonda is a trip.I overpaid this man and she never told me anything 😂I booked with this girl in July and paid the 500 deposit AFTER that is when she tell you you have to take all the decorations DOWN so be AWARE and her whole attitude just changed after that! So In my purchase I brought a throne chair that was not there. this scary looking weirdo just riding by watching people. She refuses to refund. I do not recommend! Decorating is phenomenal but that attitude has to go, ur not even cute enough to act the way you do sus!!I don’t think she go behind her customers and clean because the place was very dirty . I’m not sure if she thought I was a child but when speaking to my mom her whole attitude shifted.God don’t bless btches like u.

Asiayana Horne: Critical:ProfessionalismDirty and unprofessional. Save your money.

Asiayana Cerew: Props were missing and they ones that were there were dirty. The venue was disgusting when we got there. It was so dirty apparently she did not clean up before setting up. She refuses to refund $125 for a throne chair that was missing. You’ll also have to cut your event short just so you have time to clean up. Which is required or you forfeit your deposit. She also rides by and watches you constantly. Very weird.

Dime’s Docx: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,Valuedirty. unprofessional.

Halo Horne: The place was filthy. The assets we paid for were not in place. Props were dirty. She’s unprofessional. 0/10. Save your coins. You have to fold tables and clean them after paying big bank which she won’t tell you until you pay your $500 deposit. Also, we rented 5p-10p, we couldn’t enjoy the time there because we had to clean up within the rented timeframe. She refuses to pay money back from missing props. So no ma’am take your money elsewhere.

Brittney Reynolds: From start to finish R & R Creations was amazing! It was always easy to reach out to someone through social media throughout my whole experience. Additionally, the day of the event I was so happy when I walked in the venue and saw that Shalonda was able to make my dreams come true. Shalonda and her team are passionate about what they do. She puts her best into everything she touches and it’s evident! I would definitely recommend the R&R team for anyone’s next event. If you want a beautiful venue with a team that responds to your questions and concerns rapidly, and brings your vision to life - look no further than Shalonda and her team at R&R Creations!

Paula Culclager: Mrs.R is a sweet sincere cuzzin! I love her to life and always yeilds wonderful hospitality and super duper Soul food!!! I always order the Neck bones! Today, 5-28-21 her son Eddie was at the helm!!! Same great tastes and u will get filled! I love it and the Scovers!! Patronize this cozy diner on 7th Quinadaro! Ick!

Andreia Jackson: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Mikayla Winn: There are a few issues with my experience with Shalonda, but I brushed those under the rug. Online her events looked beautiful, so I continued despite my initial concerns. However, I should have followed my instinct. I gave her my deposit on 10/28/20 and it’s been radio silence since. I called, left voicemails and texts since 12/15/20. After not hearing back at all, I even sent a CashApp request for a refund of my deposit yesterday 1/14/21, to get some type of response. NOTHING. My event was supposed to be 3/23/21. Can’t even plan like I want. I just canceled it because even the photographer (Ionna Photography) she referred, has stiffed me.

Netta Kinney: Great Place

Julie Davison: If I could choose a planner to work with for every wedding, it would be Jazmyn! She’s so detail oriented & tons of fun.She has the sweetest personality that puts everyone around her at ease. And even if she’s stressing, you’d never be able to know!100% I always recommend Hustle & Bustle Events!

Christina Carpenter: Having a day-of coordinator was a must of mine because I get overwhelmed easily. Jazmyn was amazing from the beginning. She has great communication, asks all the right questions (+ questions we never even thought of) and offers great suggestions. I probably would’ve given up on the wedding if it wasn’t for her lol. We had our caterer drop out 2 weeks before the wedding and she had a new caterer booked with the same menu and same price range in less than an hour, and the food was great. On wedding day, she was organized and made sure everyone knew where to be at what time, and had everything set up perfectly after the room flip. I don’t think I can talk her up enough.

Ree Cox: Jazmyn was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is caring, kind, and incredibly detailed. She works well with vendors and pays close attention so that nothing is missed. She is wonderfully talented when it comes to set up of decor and coordination of all the days happenings. She truly goes above and beyond.The day would not have been the same without her. I felt like she was part of our family and wanted my daughter & son in laws wedding to be just as special as we all did.I could not recommend her highly enough for your special day. You won’t be disappointed.Thank you Jazmyn for helping make the day so special. I actually got to be present in the moment with my girl, which was so precious to me. You are so wonderful♥️

marifer ortega: I could not recommend jazmyn ENOUGH. she was on top of every. Single. Detail. She was always one step ahead of you. She was super sweet and organized the day of my wedding. I got a lot of comments about how organized and how punctual she is with everything. She was also meeting with all the vendors and telling them where they needed to go/be. She was definitely on top of everything. She paid attention to the smaller details that you don’t even think about that day. She also made sure that we were doing okay throughout the day and making sure we got to eat and hydrate. She was definitely a GOD SEND and we were truly blessed to have had her for our special day. A lot of it wouldn’t have been possible with her!

Erin Ward: I would highly recommend Jazmyn at Hustle & Bustle Events to anyone interested in Day of Coordination. I myself was on the fence about needing a coordinator, but am so glad I made the choice to use her services!The price point was reasonable for the amount of work she takes on. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she did way more than just help with timelines. She communicated with all of the vendors and our venue so well that I had absolutely nothing to worry about on the actual wedding day. We had quite a lot of decor to set up on the day of and she executed our vision down to a "t."During the wedding planning process, you encounter a lot of personalities that you have to get along with as you create the perfect day. For my husband and me, Jazmyn was the easiest to mesh with! She's levelheaded, organized, detail oriented, and a great listener. Jazmyn was never a source of stress for me throughout the process, and for that, I would highly recommend her!

Abigail Rand: Jazmyn was AMAZING!! We had three meeting before the wedding (one in person and two zoom) which was very helpful. During the meetings, I was able to tell her everything I had planned and she helped make sure I was on track. She was very helpful and answered every question I had. She was supportive and made sure everything went according to the plan on the actual wedding day. She decorated my wedding ceremony and reception beautifully! She helped create my wedding timeline and made sure we stick to it on the day! She made me feel special on my wedding day and I could never thank her enough! Would definitely recommend Jazmyn, she was a rock star!

Vix Pixx: JAZMYN IS AMAAAAAAAAAZZZZIIIINNGG! I would rate her 100/10 if I could. Her expertise was displayed on my wedding day with flying colors. I am absolutely amazed that I found THIS good of a coordinator off of a fb page. Highly recommend. My wedding day without a doubt would not have been the same without her.

Sara Davis: My husband and I were fortunate to have Jazmyn Pederson as our wedding coordinator~ and to say she helped create the most perfect wedding would be an understatement!! She is an absolute sweetheart who put so much effort into every detail and who has a “get it done” personality. Jazmyn was there from the beginning of the planning process until the day of the wedding, and she never missed a beat in getting things taken care of.We ended up having over 400 people attend our wedding, and Jazmyn took care of all the details that needed to be done. Leading up to the day, and the day of, I had such little responsibility on my plate thanks to everything she helped with and pulled off. She is not only talented, but she’s experienced in coordinating so many different styles and sizes of weddings. No matter the situation or obstacle, she brought such a calming and confident spirit to the planning meetings, the rehearsal and to the wedding day.Jazmyn is someone who truly cares about her clients and she does everything she can to bring wedding dreams to life. Not only did she pull off the perfect wedding for my husband and I, but I have been to countless other weddings that she has coordinated. Even from the perspective of a wedding guest, they are always such flawless events! She has a heart of gold and I can’t even begin to explain the times that she went the extra mile to make my wedding day more than I ever imagined. I cannot recommend her and Hustle & Bustle Events enough!!!

Stephen White: There aren’t enough great things that we could say about Jazmyn. She made planning our wedding so easy and stress free. We have had multiple family members and friends come to us after the wedding commenting on how laid back and relaxed my wife and I were the day of the wedding. How we were able to just enjoy the day and soak it all in. We owe all of that to Jazmyn and all of her hard work and dedication. She truly cares about her clients and wants them to have the wedding they have always dreamed of. When you look for a wedding/event planner, you really want someone who cares as much as you do, who you can trust, who will stick up for you and what you want from your vendors and venue, who is organized, calm, and knows what she is doing. Jazmyn is all of those things and more. Thank you for the most memorable wedding day we could have imagined!

Gary Metzger: Our wedding day continues to be the best day of our lives and a large part of this is attributed to the coordinating efforts that Jazmyn was able to provide. Her attention to detail and insight was greatly valued and eased many of the stresses associated with planning this day and then the follow through was perfect. We had an 11 month engagement and she was there for us and keeping us on track from day 1. She communicated with us greatly and was competent with everything about a wedding – catching many things that we would have never thought about! Throughout all the planning during the engagement up until we left for our honeymoon that night, Jazmyn was extremely supportive and ensured that we were happy and able to truly enjoy our most special day. Thank you so much Jazmyn – our day was everything we dreamed it could be and it wouldn’t have happened without your efforts. 10,000 out of 10,000 would recommend Hustle & Bustle Events!

McKenna Galusha: Jazmyn is a life saver. I never knew how hard planning a wedding could be. There are so many little details that I had no idea about. Fortunately, Jazmyn was with me every step of the way.I told Jazmyn bits and pieces of what I like and she took that information and ran with it. She created the most beautiful wedding from a few ideas in my brain and from Pinterest.Timing can be tricky when it comes to a wedding. There are the pictures, dances, cake cutting, garter/bouquet toss, etc. that need to be timed. I was never really involved in weddings before so I went to Jazmyn, who was able to set the perfect schedule for the day to run smoothly.Jazmyn was great at directing the rehearsal, too. It did not go on for hours. It went straight to the point and everyone knew exactly what they were doing. On the wedding day, everyone did great with her cues and reminders, as well! The timing for the ceremony and grand entrance were more than perfect. You could tell that a professional was leading it.Jazmyn is the most detail oriented person I know. And in my opinion, those small details are what made the wedding go from great to amazing. She is very knowledgeable so she was able to give ideas for how to make your wedding the best day of your life. She is a great listener and will take all of the information you throw at her and turn it into something beautiful. Also, she’s great to go to when you are super stressed out. She was literally my brain during this whole process.I could go on and on about how great she is, but you should just book her and find out yourself.

Benjamin Pedersen: I wish Jazmyn was around for my wedding. Every wedding I've seen her organize has turned out to perfection. She has a tremendous attention to details, is very organized, and a wonderful person to work with.

Lesley Mark: Jazmyn is seriously a GOD SEND! She puts 110% into making sure every need is met and every detail is fixed and ready to go! My husband and I would not have been able to enjoy our day as much as we did without her!We met with Jazmyn twice before the day of to nail down details and to share our vision of what we wanted everything to look like. Jazmyn was so on point with our vision and was super helpful in making arrangements with the venue for items we wanted to decorate as well as arriving at the venue the day before to help set everything up. Jazmyn’s ability to share my vision and delegate tasks to others made my day totally stress free! She did a FANTASTIC job at instructing the wedding party so that our rehearsal and wedding ceremony ran smoothly.On our wedding day, she arrived at the venue bright and early to make sure every little detail was attended to. She made sure to keep Cooper and I well fed and hydrated throughout the morning getting ready. Jazmyn was a HUGE help in corralling the family for photos. She did a phenomenal job at pacing the reception so that we could get to all of our planned activities in a timely and organized manner.One thing I was so thankful for was Jazmyn made sure to wrap up each flavor of cupcake we had and our top cake tier for our enjoyment later. We are so thankful for her being so attentive, organized, and thoughtful. We appreciated her taking charge when we needed her to so that we wouldn't have to. Jazmyn is INCREDIBLE and I would highly recommend having her coordinate for you!

Brooke Howe: Let me start by saying, Jazmyn is one of best people I know in general. Second, she is the most amazing wedding planner ever. I got married to my wonderful husband last weekend and it felt like a dream. If anything went wrong I will never know because Jazmyn was ON TOP OF IT. She will sit down with you and plan out everything, from big things like budget and venue options to smaller things like napkin holders and cake toppers. She is there to help make your day go so smooth, just like she did ours.I HIGHLY recommend this service for any event you need help planning!!

Josh Pedersen: Jazmyn planned our wedding and did such a tremendous job. We had everything that we could possibly need taken care of.She is thoughtful and caring and does everything in her power to make weddings go smoothly.

Kelli Jabs: Highly recommend Hustle & Bustle Events! Jazmyn is a cool headed professional that gets the job done well the first time. She made our wedding day a smooth and wonderful experience. I was so overwhelmed on my actual wedding day (because I have a hard time handing over the reigns) and it was an enormous relief to know Jazmyn would just take over and make the day perfect. She calmly stepped in and ensured the decorations and food and wedding attendants were all pulled together and looking their best. This was no small feat since we had 12 kids and 10 attendants in our wedding party! I heard about the couple minor hiccups after the wedding and was so grateful that Jazmyn had it well in hand so I could focus on my reason for being there…to become Mrs. Jabs! 5 out of 5 stars for this gal!

Chris Pedersen: I’ve attended many events planned by Jazmyn from Hustle and Bustle Events. Everything flows so well. Jazmyn is a fantastic organizer and has always put her clients needs/desires above all else. I’d use Jazmyn to plan any event.

Samuel Jordison: When planning a wedding, you often don’t know what you don’t know. We are so glad we had Jazmyn and her expertise there, from starting to plan our ceremony, to leaving our reception. Something that we felt was really important, was that we wanted our day to feel like it was OUR day. She helped us craft a wedding that was unique to us, that still incorporated the best parts of popular wedding celebrations. Wedding party, family, and guests all had a great time!She was personal and thoughtful every step of the way, touring venues with us, going over the same questions twice or sometimes three times because we had changed our mind on something, and standing in as a middle man with vendors in uncomfortable situations (my wife and I both have a hard time saying no when someone is standing right there trying to sell us something).She is extremely detailed and thorough with small things, while also seeing the big picture. She did a wonderful job explaining every step of the way. We were never out of the loop, always knew what to expect, and our guests did too. We had multiple people congratulate us and then immediately ask about Jazmyn because they were so impressed. If you choose Hustle & Bustle for your event planning, I know you will be too!

Brittany Hillard: I highly recommend using Jazmyn to coordinate your wedding! She is very organized, and detail oriented, and helps make every wedding she coordinates a special, memorable day. She literally handles every last detail, even down to sewing up ripped pants, so that the entire celebration goes without any hitches! It's nice to know your entire day is handled, and you can sit back and relax and just enjoy your day with friends and family!!

Jackeline Newsome: Our ceremony was beautiful! You guys went above and beyond! Thank you for allowing us to have you celebrate our day and adding our lock of love

Arieona Moorning: I loved this place so much. Everything about it was nice. Nancy and Jane helped out a lot. It was also very affordable and pleasing. I couldn’t be more grateful. I recommend this place if you want something more small and intimate.

Stephenai Harris: I got married the 4 of May this year and prior to that everything was great. Ms. Jane was amazing making sure I got everything I wanted and that things were perfect, her communication was on point. My big day was wonderful.

Nancy Kerr: Here's just a few pictures of the Edison and it's amazing ambience!

K Starr: Nice small event space to host a gathering

Robin Moreno: They're personal with everything they do

Ryan Kelly: Last minute change Nancy got us taken care of for our real estate mastermind super great customer service!

Jessica Rosewaren: Where do I even start about this train wreck of a business? First off, if you look at the reviews, several were posted by the owner herself (she even thanked herself for writing them). Here is my wedding experience... my fiancé and I contacted the owner, Nancy, back in October. We initially requested to use the Edison for a small ceremony with cake. We were told it would be $850 for the couple of hours that we wanted it and that we would be responsible for clean up. Within a week, we realized that we probably should feed our guests since the ceremony was at 5pm. We were then told that it would be an inconvenience because they (The Edison) would have to do the cleaning since catered food apparently makes more of a mess. So, Nancy raised the price to $1,000 and we were to have it from 5-8pm and were told that we could come in at 4pm to get ready and do some decorating. Skip forward to middle of December and we hadn’t heard anything from this business at all and we’re getting concerned. They assured us that they always meet with the bride and groom (last minute) the week of the wedding. Cool. We sit down with Nancy five days before our wedding and she basically tells us nothing and asks us nothing. I was worried but tried to have faith that she knows what she’s doing. I’m also told that week that our time starts at 4pm. That’s three hours to get ready, have the ceremony, have the catering set up (the venue is too small to do prior to the ceremony), eat dinner, do pictures, and cake. We were completely set up for failure. And by this point, our $1000 check had been cashed. I was told that if we wanted to add extra time or use any more tables, “my mom” would need to call and pay extra because “my mom” had already made arrangements with them. For the record, Nancy had never spoken to my mom EVER. So, we decided to work with what we had and hope for the best. The night of our wedding arrived and then Nancy decides to have a conversation about what the service will be like (while I’m trying to get ready). But she doesn’t explain or ask some pretty imperative questions. This leads to a very bizarre rambling about “friendship” and macaroni and cheese during the ceremony. She asked me AT THE ALTER whether I was going to change my name. She nearly announced us “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and had to correct herself. She didn’t tell my teenage son that she was going to be asking him “who gives the bride away” (which I never would’ve wanted to be part of the ceremony) so he stared at her until she whispered to him what to say. Just unprofessional. And tacky. We then have our rushed reception and are told by Pastor Jane (who had come to take over supervising) that we had to clean up the place. That means putting up tables, chairs, taking out the trash. We weren’t even allowed to put trash in their dumpster because supposedly they didn’t have one. My guests were putting bags of trash IN THEIR VEHICLES. SO EMBARRASSING. Nancy reached out to me the following day and basically said that she did nothing wrong and that her and my mom had made the agreement that we would clean up (again, she had never spoken to my mom prior to the evening of our wedding). I responded to her and told her my feelings on all of the above and had no response. Not even an apology for the embarrassment of saying our names wrong. This place is worthless. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Zephyr Spencer: I want to preface this review by stating that my better half tends to be the outgoing, comfortable in new surroundings, excited, people person between the two of us. I am most comfortable in the exact same surroundings as always, more with books than people, and with everything planned down to the second in advance. When this doesn't happen I quickly become anxious and overwhelmed.Pastor Jane read me like a book the moment I walked in, and immediately set about attempting to relieve my anxiety. I've actually been trying to write this review for the past couple of days, but I keep erasing it and starting over because I'm unsure how to best explain just how exemplary of an experience I had during something that I expected to just be a quick signing of papers.Pastor Jane told me during the ceremony that she loves what she does, and it shows. I felt comfortable, I felt accepted, I felt welcomed. We did not have the money for an exquisite ceremony. What we had was my wife, myself, my in-laws, and a license.I walked in a nervous wreck, and walked out comfortable, happy, smiling, and confident we had made the right decision. I wouldn't trade the intimate, genuine, and loving ceremony that we had for the biggest venue in the world.If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about you, loves what she does, and wants to connect with the people involved, you've found the right venue, and Pastor Jane is the right officiant. When we eventually get the money to fly in everyone we wanted at this ceremony, and we're able to renew our vows, I already know I will be contacting Pastor Jane again.Thank you again for your time, and for the love you put into the world.

Matthew Ramirez: My husband and I are so glad we choose the Edison for our wedding Venue. Pastor Jane and Nancy were very accommodating, professional and caring. They made us feel comfortable and they created an open, fun accepting environment. They worked with us from start to finish, and blessed us with the greatest gift, a perfect wedding. Their years of experience really showed, our shared words cannot express our gratitude for both of them, thank you so much! This is truly the place to go if you want to have a beautiful and affordable wedding. Also, the decor and design were simply beautiful

Jae Clark: Very nice venue for special occasions

santiago s: Small and cute

Barbara Martin: Very nice. Was there for a Wedding reception.

Nathan Glen Piper: I remember when they used to be the Taffy store.

Theresa Pyle: It's a beautifully amazing place to have a special event at

Dardantte “Ucesupr3me” Vaovasa: It was cool. Nice area to have events.

Anita Olsen (AnitaO): Great fun. Cultural Dance Festival

Arthur P. Andreas: Pastor Nancy is on her game! This particular event venue in Independence MO is a show stopper. With attention to detail in mind Nancy has spared no expense on decor, design, and overall quality within this location. In fact, you should call her directly for a quote. Very professional!!!!

Naomi: Love the steampunk vibe due to the Edison bulbs in copper pipe lighting.

Kim Wrinkle: I am in a professional networking group with Tanna the owner of ING Events KC. She is passionate and loves what she does and it shows in all of her work. I highly recommend if you are wanting to have a party or event that you give her an opportunity.

Carla Harold: You absolutely can’t go wrong with having ING plan your party. I’ve used her twice and loved everything she did. I gave her the specs, she researched everything and came up with a fabulous plan. Both parties she found items that were unique to the party recipient so it’s not just a”canned” party.

Dereen Fortsch: Beautiful venue, but the lighting was dim and hard to see things. The owner Rachel was an amazing help to me with helping with the decorations. I was having to do it by myself, but she jumped right in with setting them all up. We have used the Cotillion for years and we plan on continuing to plan all of our special family occasions with them.

FatKat MOTO: I attended a wedding there. It was a nice place. Nice owner's and staff. Place a little out dated.. but she said they was working on that due to pandemic hurt the business. I still think it's a good place to have a wedding.

David Lighthill: Great place for a wedding

Breanna Stewart: Beautiful and amazing people run it.

Bridgette Brown: Beautiful place inside and out

Malkia Fielder-Hayes: My cousin's wedding was here and the place was just beautiful!!

Erin Keeney: The Rhapsody was absolutely beautiful!! The staff were remarkable. Every single person we worked with were so accommodating. They truly made our dream wedding come true!!We HIGHLY recommend The Rhapsody venue. It has everything you need for a wedding and more. We also highly recommend DJ Bryan and the florist Sabine! Both absolutely exceeded our expectations!Thank you Rhapsody staff!!!

Rodney Jones: Nice little place that I never knew was there.

Jackie Shewmaker - NOAA Federal: Beautiful venue. Very organized, professional and elegant. Everyone we dealt with throughout the planning stage of my daughter's wedding was so friendly and helpful. They went over and above with everything. I've never seen a more elegant venue Highly recommend.

Kanetha Ward: The Rhapsody is the best.The coordinating,decorating, dj&photobooth it all was so well put together and the wedding was perfect.Everything went amazingly well and as the Bride I was so relaxed cause I knew my big day was in the right hands.I cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that you guys did for us!I will be sure to recommend you to others in the future!Thanks again to the wonderful team at The Rhapsody

dee foster: Beautiful venue, courteous staff. Really nice!

Wendy Moore: There are probably not enough words to describe how awesome The Rhapsody is!!! From the moment you walk in the door for your tour to the moment you get your final email from them, you are treated like family and as if your wedding is the most important one. The venue is nothing short of beautifully spectacular!! Bryan, Amanda, Sabina, Holly and everyone else were so helpful and very responsive with any questions we may have had. We used Bryan, the in-house Rhapsody DJ and let me just say that every single one of our guest thought he was simply amazing!!! He knew what kind of night we wanted and delivered above and beyond!! I would highly recommend The Rhapsody - Wedding and Reception Hall for your wedding. You will not be disappointed in any way!!

Clarence Kellum: This place was great and the service was even better

Michael Caughron: If you’re looking for confidence in making your wedding day special, then look no further than the all star team of the Rhapsody. We started our planning with Bryan and he gave us all the tools for success. Vendor recommendations, a thorough tour and guide to make our wedding day go off without a hitch. We then met with Andrea, and she attacked our wedding planning with a sense of urgency. She was very helpful with getting things on our checklist completed. Our photographers, Poemas De Barro said that the timeline that Andrea helped us make, was the best they had seen. For the day of the wedding we were assigned a Cordinator, Holly. Holly, took the stress of the wedding day and crushed it. She did an amazing job of handling little things, assisting the wedding party, and taking care of our vendors. Her organization skill’s definitely allowed us to enjoy our wedding day stress free! The venue was gorgeously dressed from inside and out, each table was designed according to our meetings, and no detail was left out. My feet are still sore from the amazing music that was played by our DJ Bryan, and in a nutshell, he threw it down! The Rhapsody is highly recommended and our day was very special and will be raved about for years!

Brooke&Nathan Wedding: Could not be more grateful to have chosen The Rhapsody as our wedding venue.The tour was amazing and Bryan gave us a fully immersive experience to really see what it would be like on the day of. The facility is very clean and absolutely beautiful. The floors are reflective and make for great photos!Booking the venue was smooth and straight forward. No hidden fees that we were not expecting. They gave a detailed overview of expectations in the contract.They were readily available to answer questions and generally responded same day if not within the same hour.The had a day of coordinator, Holly, that made sure everyone knew the game plan and we were running on time.We also were highly pleased to use their florist for boutonnieres and corsages.Best part is we also booked Bryan as our DJ through The Rhapsody and he absolutely killed it. He created the best atmosphere to celebrate the night away.Most definitely recommending The Rhapsody to all of my friends!!

C&E Davis: Words can't truly describe how privileged we felt choosing The Rhapsody as our wedding venue. Every single service they provide has the couple's end goals and success in mind. They are punctual, available, and organized. The value of choosing them is basically endless as they provide many of their services in house, like flowers, DJ, Photobooth, a wedding day coordinator and decorations. Each of these items took stress out of our planning process and allowed us to just really enjoy every second of the day. We could not have felt more appreciated and supported through our entire time. They even provide monthly workshops to go over wedding details like timelines, recommended vendors, and extra amenities. Special shoutout to Bryan who organizes and usually runs these workshops. Our day would not have been as perfect and flawless without him! He even provides DJ services for the day and kept the entire reception flowing and partying the whole night. We adore everything The Rhapsody gave to us throughout the entire wedding process. Could not give any higher of a recommendation to go book with them!

Mackenzie Leochner: The Rhapsody was fantastic from start to end. The venue is beautiful, clean, and up-to date. My husband and I had thought we were set on our wedding venue and only went to the Rhapsody because they had spring dates available still, by the end of the tour and conversation with the owner, Bryan, we booked our date! The communication was quick and they answered any and all the questions (even the silly little ones that pop into a stressed out brides brain). A huge pro of this venue is the staffing, they take care of most decoration/set-up, music if you chose the in house dj, and the day of coordinator. You wont find that type of staffing at another venue, or at least in a venue that is reasonably priced. Seriously, the best venue!!! I will be suggesting to all the soon to be engaged couples in my life.

Kourtney Thompson: The Rhapsody made my day PERFECT. They are so easy to work with and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. They are not only awesome people, they are awesome at their job. They made wedding planning so easy and made my vision a reality. 100% recommend hiring the in house DJ...Bryan had everyone on the dance floor all night and was the talk of the wedding. Can't speak highly enough about this place.

Julie Hankins: Absolutely gorgeous.

Deandre Clark: The Rhapsody.....Where do I begin? You guys were amazing throughout the entire experience! Our wedding day was kind of hectic but you all worked to make everything so simple and an evening that we will never forget!Bryan was amazing from the first time we met him for looking at the venue. Worked with our work schedule to make sure that we had everything in order and in place for the wedding day. He also was amazing during the reception as the DJ and when I say that we were dancing the enitre time and the reception was lit, that was an understatement. Thank you for keeping the party rocking all night.I just want to tell everyone that plans to book them as a venue, you will love the family oriented staff and they will go hell and back to make sure your day is the best day and you will not have to worry about anything.Thank you again for creating a memory that will always be with us. Forever and ever.Love,Allison and Dre Clark

Mel Shultz: Highly recommend the Rhapsody, Well run and everything thought out.

William Clyde Michael: It was a great venue for the wedding. Fantastic time had by all.

Aubrey J: My friend had their wedding here. It was beautiful, open ballroom with an outside patio, and small changing rooms. The DJ was great and kept the night going smoothly.

Alexis Nibert: Wedding Planner advice: do NOT pass on this venue if a downtown wedding is not for you.I promise you will not notice how close you are to anything with how this venue has placed their ceremony site & amenities.It's very difficult to find a venue outside of downtown that has a bride suite, this venue has both a bride cottage & groom shed! This is huge for wedding parties to be able to get ready at the same location but also hidden from one another! Not to mention, they are both decorated perfectly for a wedding day!The staff is very polite & works really hard for their couples. They have decorations onsite which means it's less for a couple to do the day of and was great for me to be able to focus on my couple's needs!My favorite aspect of this venue is the newly remodeled covered patio & bar, custom built bar, fireplace, plenty of room for mingling, dancing and a photobooth if you wanted!Thanks for having me & I can't wait to plan another wedding here!

Aylia Hansen: Absolutely love the Rhapsody staff and the Venue was amazing from start to finish. They brought to life what I envisioned for my wedding. Price is great and the ballroom is absolutely stunning.Highly recommend this place. I consider the rhapsody family now. Thank you for all you did.

Ronda Norman: Beautiful Venue inside and definitely out.

Gina Kuwata: I have used used YAY Party Balloons twice. Once for my son's 21st birthday and for a event at Chico's Summit Fair. They do a FANTASTIC job and were great to work with. I will use them again next time I am in need of balloons.

Deborah Hall: The owner is very creative & friendly. I trusted her to design exactly what I needed “YAY” it was perfect!

Healing Breeze: Talk about going above and beyond! Shere did a fantastic job with the color scheme and was so sweet. Her and the team put together the VERY LARGE arch promptly and accurately. Highly recommend!

Business By Promotion: She is so creative and talented. Can't say enough good things about her and her and her work!

Rebecca P: I can’t believe the amazing balloon displays that Yay Party Balloons! is able to create. Shere definitely has a unique talent designing and assembling these beautiful balloon creations. She can accommodate any occasion! Thank you so much for doing a balloon display for my birthday and surprising my daughter with her own on her birthday! I will absolutely reach out to Yay Party Balloons! again to make my next celebration POP!

Emily Hetzler: We cannot say enough about Mal and WYW+E! We reached out to Mal last spring to see if she would be willing to help us plan our intimate wedding in Joshua Tree and we are SO glad that we found her. She was very supportive in staying true to our vision and bringing it to life! She also helped find great vendors. We wouldn't change a thing and highly recommend working with Mal!

Victoria Alvarez: If I could give 50 million stars, I would. Mallory & the Wildly Yours team are not your typical wedding planners and coordinators. They are more than just people who help put together your wedding day. They are your cheerleaders, your friends, your avid listeners & your biggest advocates. Over the year+ it took to plan my wedding, I grew close with Mallory and got to see firsthand just how much she truly cares for each couple. She takes the time to truly get to know you and understand who you are together. She’s intentional with her interactions and speaks from the heart and because of those actions, you know you are never just a number. Your dreams because hers and she’ll do anything & everything under the sun to help make those dreams come true for you. I can’t explain what it means to have someone on your side like that, making sure that the process for you & yours is nothing but beautiful. I would recommend Mallory & her team to every bride & groom that I know because what sets them apart is the heart & soul they put into your wedding. She championed our dreams for an intimate wedding & brought our vision to life. She made us feel heard, values and important and she made everyone in our lives that day feel the same. You couldn’t have a more special, thoughtful or hardworking person & team on your side.

Maren Hansen: It's hard to even find the words to describe how much we loved having Mal be a part of our wedding planning / wedding day experience! Mal was so thoughtful throughout our planning process and strived to make sure our wedding day felt like US. She is an incredibly thoughtful, organized, and warm person and brought all of those elements into our wedding planning process. On our wedding day, she was so calm and personable, which was hugely helpful when we almost had to move our ceremony inside last minute due to storms! Our planning process would have been 100x more stressful without her. Outside of Mal's work, she is truly just an amazing human to get to know and work with. If we had to do our wedding all over again, there is no one else we would rather work with!!!

Addyson Reimer: I got the chance to work with mal for about a year. She was amazing. Made my day flawless and is a little magician. If you make one big monetary decision… go. With. Mal. A wedding planner changes everything!

Lindsey Berry: I could not say enough amazing things about Mallory!!!! I am naturally a very stressed out person and I was seriously fully at peace on my wedding day because I knew that whatever came up, she would take care of it! From the planning process and helping me make sure I wasn't forgetting anything to getting my husband and I water during our reception, Mallory made sure that we were taken care of 100% of the time. My wedding was only a few weeks ago, but I already wish I could go back because it was so beautiful and I wish I could be there forever. Her attention to detail made me feel so at peace, but also like my vision really was able to come to life! I truly wish I could get married again to see the magic that her and Elizabeth Mckenzie Florals came up with over and over again!

Mikayla Woodall: I wish every single person could work with Mal to encounter her beautiful personality and radiating kindness. The person we hired to plan our biggest day became a friend to cherish forever.I never really had a “dream wedding” in mind, as most do. But somehow, through my lack of input or direction, Mallory was able to create a wedding that was perfect in every way and so wildly mine. She suggested vendors who were pure magic to work with and was so encouraging through our planning process. On our wedding day, Mallory was the definition of cool, calm, and collected. Always quick to listen and take initiative.Aside from our wedding day being made perfect in every way, Mal has since remained a close friend to both my husband and I. She’s ready to be your cheerleader both on, and off, the field. She’s ready to hype you up on Instagram. Investing in Mallory gives you memories and friendship that will last a lifetime. Investing in Mallory is the key to making your wedding wildly yours.

Morgan T: Mallory from the very beginning made us feel at ease. She truly wanted our day to be special and uniquely ours. Throughout the planning process she was attentive, responsive, reassuring and flexible. She creates a timeline that eased all my type A pre-wedding anxieties and made the whole day seamless. Meetings leading up to the wedding were comforting knowing Mallory had things covered and filled us with excitement for the big day! The day of, Mallory and Tara made our day everything we wished for and more. From my husband and my perspective, the day was perfection! It was truly the best day of our lives and it was largely due to Mallory and her team!!

Traena Bennett: I cannot articulate how thankful I was to have Mal and Morgan at our wedding. They made the entire day run so smoothly and created the most beautiful wedding. If you actually want to be able to enjoy your wedding then do yourself a favor and hiring the Wildly Yours team for your special day. They are worth EVER SINGLE PENNY.

Rachel Jenkins: When we first were engaged my, now, husband and I knew we wanted a wedding planner simply help us through the process, but WAY underestimated how having a planner and, specifically, Mal as our planner absolutely transformed our year of engagement. It was fun, exciting, and as stress free as possible rather than absolutely exhausting.When we first met with Mal, we immediately knew she was who we wanted to hire. With both her and I being in the medical field, our communication styles, attention to detail, and organization styles clicked and hello just look at her Instagram or website....her work is absolutely gorgeous!!! We told her we wanted our wedding to be warm, cozy, & sparkly and she 10000% delivered. She helped us select the most superb group of vendors, handled save the dates & invites suites, and brought our vision to life. Throughout the entire process, she was dedicated to making our day full of details important to us as a couple and our relationship. She was honest with what she thought would work well and what she thought would not. She communicated frequently to make sure we were feeling good about everything and never wavered in supporting us through everything stressful along the way (hello, COVID).I've told friends and family that I knew I was stress free the day of our wedding because I woke up the next morning, didn't know where anything was, and was completely okay with that because I knew Mal had taken care of it all--and she sure did!I could continue on and on about how much my husband and I value all that Mal did for us. Hire her, hire her, hire her!! You absolutely will not regret anything from the day you hire her to when she hugs you after you & your partner walk down the aisle officially married! Thanks a million Mal. You truly are the best, and I am so very thankful for you!Photos: Molly Hoffman PhotographyFlorals: Elizabeth McKenzie FloralsVenue: Union 828Jacket: Script Your Event

Amanda Meeks: I can't speak highly enough about Mallory. I was a lazy bride and didn't want to do any planning (I do a lot of travel planning in my day-to-day and I just didn't want to plan this). We did a destination microwedding and Mallory took the reins for the whole thing. I gave her the vibe, style, and budget we were going for and she was able to work her magic and make it beautiful. Also, our tiny wedding was during COVID times and her background in healthcare came in super clutch. I can't recommend her enough for your day. I'll hire her for my second wedding too. ;) (If you're my husband I'm absolutely kidding, love you the most).

Mackenzie Lown Hoffman: I cannot say enough good things about Mal! I truly would have been such a loss without hiring Mal as our wedding planner. She & her team made me feel at ease the entire day & allowed me time to actually enjoy myself and not have to worry about anything! To say that Mal went above & beyond for us and our wedding is an understatement. She not only did our planning but she also helped to design our tables, decor, etc. and it all turned out absolutely beautiful. Mal was able to give us vendor recommendations, help us with rentals, and really just be our right-hand gal throughout the whole process. Additionally, when one of my vendors backed out last minute, Mal swooped in and made our seating chart & welcome sign literally days before the wedding and it looked perfect - I seriously, I don't know what I would have done without her! Mal really listened to what my husband & I wanted & made the day absolutely incredible. Mal is so kind, creative, organized, and on top of it - I could not recommend her more! Definitely hire Mal if you are looking for an awesome planner, you won't regret it!

Morgan Flax: Oh man, I do not even know where to begin so this might be a long review. I am not someone who typically leaves reviews, but I just have to tell everyone about how truly amazing Mal is. If you are looking for a sign to hire Mal and Wildly Yours, DO IT. You will be so so so grateful. When we first got engaged, we did not know what to do. We recently moved to KC and loved the city so much we wanted to get married here. I came across Mal on instagram and when we set up our first meeting I KNEW we had to hire her. It did take some convincing from my fiance because he was already overwhelmed by how much weddings cost, but if you ask my penny pinching now husband he will also tell you that Mal was by far the best investment. Mal truly went above and beyond. She is so detail oriented, organized, professional, and just hands down one of the best people you will ever meet. We are so grateful for everything Mal did to make leading up to our wedding so smooth and stress free. She made our wedding day go seamlessly and amazing. Our favorite memory of wedding planning will always be working with Mallory. Thank you again Mal for everything!!

Samantha Mars: Mallory is the best of the best! She was our coordinator for our wedding in May. I can't say enough good things! She’s creative, organized, funny, a calming presence, has an amazing vision no matter your style, and genuinely cares about the couples she works with. I really could never repay Mal for all of the thought, time, and effort she put into our wedding day. It was PERFECT. And I'm not just saying that- it really was! I can't think of one thing that didn't go as planned, and I know she was working very hard behind the scenes to make that possible. We could not have been in better hands. The timeline was on point, and I felt at ease all day. She worked with our florist Saige (Elizabeth Mckenzie Florals) to make the venue stunning. People always tell you you'll be stressed, but honestly that never rang true for me. It will forever be my favorite day thanks to Mallory. Truly perfection! I could write a book full of positive reviews. She’s a gem!*Photography by the highly recommended Nagel Portraits

Beth Jacobs: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAMAZING pretty much sums it up. Mallory was the ultimate professional who managed to anticipate my every need for a seamless and elegant event. I cannot recommend Wildly Yours Weddings enough. She and her team were simply SUPERB!

Megan Smith: When my husband and I were first engaged he told me the only thing he wanted was for me to hire a day of coordinator. When I say I found THE wedding coordinator I am not lying. From our very first consultation meeting before even booking the vibe and security I felt from Mal was unbelievable. As I was explaining my very early on vision and ideas for my day she was already going above and beyond giving feedback and ultimately giving vendor recommendations that we ended up going with. I cannot say enough positive things about Mal and her work ethic and the dedication she has to each and every one of her couples to ensure their day goes off as smoothly as it possibly can. For me during my wedding planning process, communication from my vendors was huge! A wedding is already stressful enough but when vendors are hard to reach it gets worse. Mal was by far the best in terms of communication and getting back quickly with even the smallest of questions. I felt so comfortable having Mal leading the day and ensuring the venue was set up just the way I had envisioned. I cannot say "hire Mal" enough to all future brides looking for a wedding coordinator, she is truly a life saver and my husband and I cannot thank her enough!

Anna Bagshaw: I can not say enough good words about Mallory and her team! She not only is the sweetest person ever, but she makes planning a wedding so much less stressful. :) She has great ideas and turns them into reality. She is so great to work with and knows how to make sure your day is so special. Any questions that I had, she would have the answer or find the answer for me. She is great at communicating with your vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page. Her work allows you to enjoy YOUR day and know that everything will go smoothly. I would definitely recommend Wildly Yours Wedding to be apart of your special day!

taylor gerlach: I cannot recommend Mallory (Wildly Yours Weddings + Elopement) enough to any bride or groom currently planning their wedding or elopement. I was a COVID bride, which means we rescheduled two different times. Mallory went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I felt prepared and reassured with all the changes that were made. She handled all the vendor/venue rescheduling and even was able to negotiate some deals that prevented us from losing money. Huge win! She also was able to turn my Pinterest board into a real life dream for my wedding and reception. I could not have imagined anything more perfect. Outside of that, Mallory became a friend throughout the process and was there for me anytime I needed her. I could not have had as successful and perfect of a wedding had Mallory not been involved. I truly cannot thank her enough for everything that she did for my husband and I. Seriously, everyone should hire Wildly Yours Weddings + Elopements, it will be the best investment you ever made.

Ashlyn Heneger: Hiring Mallory was hands down the best decision of the whole wedding planning process! I can't imagine trying to plan/execute my wedding without her! She went above and beyond what I was expecting and made us feel so at ease throughout the whole process! I am so thankful for how well she communicated with all the vendors and made sure every detail was perfect day of. She took my vision and helped make it happen within my budget - her creativity in doing this was so amazing! Every aspect was above and beyond my expectations. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!!

Emily Carlson: I recently worked with Wildly Yours Weddings + Elopements on a styled shoot and my experience was above amazing! Mallory and her team were an absolute joy to work with! Extremely communicative and responsive when I had questions. Her vision and design for the shoot was one that I had never seen before. She had a fresh and exciting take on what elopements and intimate weddings can look like! I hope to work with Mallory again in the future because she goes above and beyond for not only her clients but with vendor partnerships as well.

Taylor Grubb: I can not say enough how amazing Mal and her team at Wildly Yours Wedding is! If you are looking for a wedding coordinator she is your gal! From the moment we met, Mal made my husband and I feel important, heard, and at ease about the entire planning process. She developed an incredibly detailed timeline for us, helped us with vendors, gave us great ideas and suggestions, and ran the entire day of with no problems. My family and I did not have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day thanks to all her hard work of managing the vendors, set up, and more. This is a huge stress relief and allowed us to enjoy our day! I would highly recommend her to anybody. She is the kindest, most organized, and creative person I have had the pleasure of working with. She is exactly who you want making your wedding day the best it can be!
