    I was a September 2023 bride and I worked with Aquina leading up to my wedding. She handled EVERYTHING. She communicated with vendors, brought things up I would’ve never thought of, and just eased my stress. Even when the plumbing went out at my venue a few days before my wedding, and when the venue manager had issues with my family.. I never knew a thing. She handled everything professionally and with such an open heart. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Aquina is amazing! It rained on my wedding day which was very disappointing. She helped guide everyone through the logistic changes that needed to happen due to that. She eased my worries throughout the whole process. She packed things up for us, ran our rehearsal, and helped us through some other unfortunate situations with some vendors. She fought for us and made sure we were satisfied, even when things beyond our control went wrong. I would HIGHLY recommend Authentically You KC, especially if you are getting married at La Villa!

  • The best (and most stress free) day of our life!

    Throughout the planning process, Aquina and her team brought years of experience when I had ideas and helped me execute them better than I could’ve ever imagined! On the weekend of our wedding, Aquina and her team took care of every detail from the rehearsal dinner to the late night pizza drop off. Her services are the best investment and should definitely be one of the first vendors you book!
