Wedding Services


Knot Too Shabby Events can offer a full range of services for your wedding day. Whether you want us to plan the whole thing from start to finish or you take the driver seat, we are sure to have a service that suites your needs.

We've been doing this long enough to know that there is no such thing as "day-of coordination". As a minimum of our professional services, Wedding Management means we will get you set up for success with a game-plan in hand and then KTSE will do a full takeover 30 days before your event.

For the couples that may desire more involvement from their planner, we offer Full-Service Planning and Design, along with a handful of a
 la carte options.

So, how much does it all cost?
Because every wedding is unique with it's own set of logistics, we custom quote all services.

Testimonials:


"Melissa with Knot Too Shabby Events did an amazing job helping and executing the perfect wedding day for us. She was there from beginning to end. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. She was available whenever I need something. The day of would not have been as perfect without Melissa and her team there. The entire night was seamless and we were able to enjoy our wedding. Her and her team set up the venue beautifully and perfect. I would recommend Knot Too Shabby for any event you want to be perfect and want to be able to enjoy your event without worry!"
