Kaylee was an absolute dream of a wedding planner! We'd recommend her to any friend or family member, and if we could go back in time we would absolutely choose her again. Kaylee has an amazing ability to be so sweet and kind but also absolutely dialed in, incredibly organized, and not a push over.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Kaylee met with us (virtually - we didn't live near the Okanagan) many times to answer our questions, provide recommendations, and ensure we were staying on track with our to do list. She provided tools and programs to help us stay organized and to ensure everyone was in the loop.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding Kaylee liaised with vendors so we didn't have to worry about those many final logistics. Since we didn't live nearby she offered to pick up last minute items like HDMI cords, extra flowers, or toys for the kids.
On the day of she and her team did a ton of set up and take down. They definitely have a great eye for what looks good and followed the reference images I'd provided for décor set up. Kaylee was incredibly calm, kind, yet absolutely efficient and made decisions on the fly to keep things running smoothly as needed. Multiple wedding attendees commented on how calm, organized, and just generally incredible Kaylee was. As the bride, I felt basically no stress on the wedding day because I knew Kaylee had it under control.
We had the Partial Planning Package and it's worth far more than what Kaylee charges for it. With Kaylee's expertise to find great vendors within our budget, her services basically paid for themselves. If you're on the fence about a day of planner or a little more (aka partial planning) do yourself a favour and get the partial planning (or more).
Thank you for everything Kaylee!!!!

My husband and I could not be more vocal advocates for Kaylee and Bask Events! In preparation for our wedding Kaylee quickly became our "Wedding Fairy Godmother". She exudes kindness and a genuine love for each couple she works with. Her eye for design and each little detail is exquisite. Her vendor recommendations and contacts are the best of the best, and she'll even help you communicate with vendors to make sure everything is organized and in order. She always responded promptly to any requests I had, or issues that arose. She created a day of timeline that ensured everything ran smoothly, down to every last little detail. She will go above and beyond to make your day perfect.
Day of- Kaylee and her team decorated and set up the venue, ensured everything ran on time, and readily stepped up to handle any unforeseen issues that arose. They went and picked up our midnight snack and drove it back to our venue. They also completed clean up and take down after the event. This allowed my husband and I, and our family/wedding parties to fully enjoy the day without the added stress of any duties or clean up. The next day, Kaylee and her team dropped off our gifts and items from take down right to our home. Having Bask Events be a part of our wedding day was the best decision we could have made. Thank you, Kaylee!

Planning a wedding requires a lot of decision making. Some might say an exhausting amount of decision making. By far the best decision that we made when planning our wedding was hiring Kaylee for full wedding planning. We had an incredible experience working with her. She was knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and detail oriented. She transformed our rambling ideas into a beautiful ceremony and reception that truly felt very 'us'.
One of her most impressive talents was chaos management leading up to the big day. She handled innumerable last minute stressors like guest list changes, organizing activities for kids during dinner, handling last minute family members' requests and sourcing backup venues in case of cancellation due to fires (this woman works miracles, no joke). And on top of it all, she does this while being incredibly warm and friendly - multiple family members and guests commented on how helpful and awesome she was. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy every minute of our big day stress free.
Everyone knows weddings are expensive, but we truly feel Kaylee’s expertise and guidance paid for itself. She saved us time and money by helping us make the right decisions, or when we requested, making decisions for us.
If you’re getting married and are looking for a wedding planner, stop looking and hire Kaylee!

When people ask me for one piece of advice when planning a wedding, my first response is always “Hire Kaylee”. From our first meeting, to the day of our wedding Kaylee was supportive, knowledgeable and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond in every aspect as our coordinator, from her recommendations, to communicating with vendors, and organizing a timeline for the wedding — the experience and stress of planning was made so much more manageable and enjoyable with her help and expertise. Our wedding day was truly made possible with Kaylee’s stunning eye and talent. We had a small backyard wedding, and jaws dropped when they walked in and saw what she had accomplished and put together in our home. It would not have been the same magical, wonderful day without Kaylee and all she did for us, we can’t say enough great things about bask events and are so grateful that Kaylee was part of our experience!

Kaylee did such an amazing job in making our wedding day truly special. As one of her early clients, we were so impressed at her professionalism and her ability to make things happen. As I'm sure many would, we approached her with a budget and a vision that were miles apart, and she did an outstanding job in helping us align the two to ultimately deliver the perfect day. We were very busy leading up to the wedding, and she made it so easy for us by presenting us with well-defined choices along the way and involving us as much (or as little!) in the planning as we wanted to be. We were happy to point our friends in Kaylee's direction and attend one of her weddings as a guest the following year! We would 100% recommend Kaylee to anyone looking to tie the knot.
