Weddings by Socialites

Do you need a great wedding planner? Go with Kelly. Seriously. Don't consider anyone else, don't think it's too expensive, don't worry she won't be worth it - she's worth it.

We didn't have a huge budget, but she was worth every. single. penny. Not only was she the consummate professional, she's just a great person. Her services alone are worth it - she found me fantastic vendors that I didn't find in my many searches before I employed her - but it's her personality that makes you love every minute of your wedding. She is fun, sweet, personable, and absolutely stress-free. I adore her. I still follow her on twitter/fb, just to keep up with her, because she's so great.

We actually had a really horrible situation happen right before we got married; my house was destroyed in a tornado and I lost everything about two months before we were married. Kelly actually made a video asking for donations from wedding vendors because we were in such a rough spot, and boy, did people COME THROUGH! The generosity of her staff and the vendors, all because she reached out for us, was incredible. I have no idea what I would have done without her, and her amazing support. It made what could have been such a difficult situation into some of the best memories I have.

If you want to get married in southwest Florida, go with Weddings by Socialites. They're simply...

Kelly and her team at Weddings by Socialites were amazing to work with. They made the wedding planning process fun and stress free. We loved all the vendors Kelly referred us to. Most importantly, Kelly helped us create a wedding that reflected our personalities, was unique, and a great experience for all of our guests. We cannot thank her enough!

Kelly and her staff did a fantastic job with our wedding. I do not know how we would have managed it without them! We will never be able to thank Kelly enough for making our day so special and beautiful. We would recommend Weddings By Socialites to anyone!

Kelly did try to do a good job but seemed to fall through in the end. Many of the vendors complained about her to me. The caterer said they had never heard from her that we were using them (months after the decision was made) and the venue tried to cancel after what they said was her lack of experience and professionalism. We spent tons of money on things like AC units and she didn't even make sure the power source was available so that they were too far away from the tables and a waste of money. She had some cute ideas but all in all I ended up having to do most of the organizing and checking on things myself!

Kelly and her staff were amazing! They are fun, funny, understanding, creative, and so-so-so much fun to work with. My husband and I can't thank her enough for all that she's done for us, and we are absolutely SO thankful to have found her!

Kelly is amazing! She is so fun and very professional. As a wedding planner, she has developed friendly relationships with all the important vendors. - They LOVE her! Kelly is one of the most detail oriented planners around. Her determination to finding workable solutions to adverse situations is second to none. Kelly was very creative and provided us with new and unique ideas. Our guests went away with a sense of awe! Kelly came highly recommended, but she still managed to exceed our expectations. I would highly recommend Weddings By Socialites!

Kelly McWilliams is the absolute best! She planned my wedding flawlessly and executed the day perfectly!

All around fantastic and completely worth every penny. I would recommend Kelly to everyone!

Every day I am amazed with the talent that encompasses Weddings by Socialites. The main ingredient that I totally respect is how calm Kelly continually displays while working with "brides".

Kelly really knows her stuff and it shows in her weddings. We have had the pleasure of working with her on quite a few weddings and each one runs like clockwork. She is very personable and an amazing problem solver.

Kelly is a true professional . If you are in need of a coordinator especially one that has allot of contacts and well educated in the production of party planning Kelly should be your choice.

We love working with Kelly. She is the most passionate person when it comes to her weddings. She truly loves her work and it shows. She is great to work with because she trusts in the professionals she recommends to do what they do best. Kelly and her staff get our highest recommendation.

Weddings by Socialites take events to a new level. Their attention to detail and creativity make each event unforgettable. They bring elegance and style to the table every time. They go above and beyond for their clients and it is evident they love what they are doing! I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Kelly McWilliams with Weddings by Socialites is truly a pleasure to work with. She's not only creative, professional, and very detail oriented, but you'll feel like your best friend is helping you plan your wedding. She will give you that personal touch and make you feel like you are her only bride. Kelly is on top of the latest wedding trends and will give you lots of fresh and new ideas to make your wedding unique. I highly recommend!

Brides often say they want their wedding day to be 'unique'. Kelly is the perfect event planner for such brides as she thrives on innovating wedding designs. Her fresh, creative approach leaves photographers and videographers clamoring to cover her weddings because we all know the details will be exquisite and that everything will run on time. She truly does live by her motto of 'Work hard, smile alot, and be very, very nice.' She does all of that while turning everything she touches into nuptial eye candy!

Nothing can phase Kelly. She is constantly happy and consistently organized and ahead of the game. She is always educating herself about the latest trends and can seamlessly combine a bride's ideas with her own to make each wedding extremely personable and memorable. Kelly's weddings are the type of weddings you see in the magazines. They are the type of weddings other planners want to copy. There is no way you can go wrong if you hire Kelly. She IS the best.

One of the most friendly, organized and professional people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Kelly and her crew are on top of everything you'd expect to happen at a wedding; more importantly, however, they are prepared for everything you'd never expect to happen--which speaks volumes about their experience.

I had the pleasure to work with this group this past weekend and they were top notch, friendly, helpful to all (clients as well as the rest of the staff team) and well, just a perfect setup. The clients seemed thankful for their work as well as happy with the flow of the evening. Would love to work with them again!

I may need the entire website capacity to explain in detail how wonderful my experience with Kelly has been. Kelly is an amazing person and wedding coordinator. An extremely resourceful and creative coordinator, that will move heaven and earth to find what you are looking for. Her events are breathtaking and jaw droppers. I always LOVE and ENJOY working with Kelly...she knows how to give you that element of surprise, that detail you've never seen before. If you were to be expecting kids at your wedding, she has the cutest ideas to keep them entertained. If you have guests with special needs (i.e. allergies, etc.) she makes sure all of her vendors know to keep your guests safe ;-). Couples say of Kelly that at the end of their wedding planning journey, they feel like they've gained more than a friend...a family member. She makes you feel like you are at home even if you are planning a destination wedding. Her events are flawless and run always on time. On the vendor side, the communication is great! Kelly plans everything to the tee and I've never seen so many people cry of happiness...couples, guests, and vendors too :-). Yes, I've cried too when I see how happy our couples are and how because of Kelly, we've been given the opportunity to be part of such special events.

PS - Want a candy station to die for...Kelly makes the best!
