  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Ames, NE

From my first mockup wedding timeline to hands on floral arrangements, I knew I belonged in the Events Industry. Every part of the process is special to me. From hearing your story, to showcasing the uniqueness of your relationship through personalized details. Fave moment is you relaxed, letting loose, and happily celebrating as you deserve to. Visualize being able to soak it all in, and then reach out when you’re ready to make it happen. I will always say yes to a meeting that involves iced coffee. My free time: cat snuggles, family dinners, friend outings, quiet nights in with my fiancé.

I have worked with Alison and her team many times. Her setups are always elegant and classy. She is easy to work with and accommodating to other vendors any way she can to make the clients day amazing.

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

As a proud mom, I’ve had the joy of watching Michaela’s journey to becoming the incredible wedding planner she is today. Espinosa Events & Weddings truly reflects her passion, creativity, and attention to detail. Michaela doesn’t just coordinate weddings; she pours her heart into each celebration, making sure every couple feels unique and special. She has a natural talent for bringing visions to life while keeping everything on track, and she’s always ready to tackle any unexpected challenges with grace. Her own wedding, held on a llama farm, was where I first saw her gift for turning dreams into reality. Now, she offers her expertise to other couples, and I couldn’t be prouder. Whether it’s a grand affair or an intimate gathering, Michaela goes above and beyond to make it unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and will treat your day like her own, Espinosa Events & Weddings is the perfect choice!

I’m so happy you’re here! I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2022. While there, I studied Business Administration which led me to finding an interest in event coordination. The hopeless romantic in me found that my passion lies in the wedding portion of the industry. Please reach out with all of your questions, I would love to chat! I absolutely cannot wait to get to know you and help you create a beautiful day!

If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, just do it! My now husband and I were trying to plan a wedding from across the country and really didn’t know the first thing about wedding planning. Kaitlyn was amazing from the start and we knew that we would be in great hands. Her communication was great, worked a lot of behind the scenes efforts and thought of all the small details that we never would have on our own. She truly put in so much to make our day so beautiful!

I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

At Enchanted Weddings by B&K, our passion for event coordination is the heart and soul of our business. It is this love for creating memorable and flawlessly executed events that drives us to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.
