At Ease Events KC

As a laid-back bride without a clear daydream for my wedding and an aversion to emails, I was absolutely dreading wedding planning. Brooke and Sarah masterfully helped my husband and I imagine and create our vision for the day. They graciously worked with us, despite missed deadlines and delayed responses on our part, to hone in on what really mattered to us. They were decisive when we needed a push, but creative and open-minded enough to meet us halfway. Their planning process is perfectly spaced to eliminate overwhelm, with weekly deliverables to protect against a last-minute cramming. We were so grateful for the vendor choices Brooke and Sarah provided for us, a few fantastic recommendations for us to consider, saving us so much time and research. Every vendor we worked with went above and beyond, and are truly masters of their craft. Thanks to Brooke and Sarah, we created a wedding day that was perfectly representative of us, if slightly atypical. They essentially planned three events within a single day; an intimate ceremony, a seated lunch, and an evening reception for the larger party. Each “event” had a unique layout with different vendors included. They flipped the room flawlessly, ensuring everyone was always exactly where they needed to be. I truly would not change one single thing about the big day. Brooke and Sarah called upon their years of expertise to create a masterfully executed experience. Every metaphorical hair was in place, and I never saw them break a sweat. Though my planning-averse husband and I were wary of the wedding planning process, Brooke and Sarah made it all worth it. They curated a day which captured our essence perfectly, and fostered an environment that allowed us all to enjoy it completely.

I've been a wedding photographer for 14 years, and Quintessential Events is one of the best planning teams I have ever worked with in Kansas City. Sarah and Brooke take their work very seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They are incredibly prompt in their communication, run a tight ship on wedding day, and their eye for custom design is unmatched. They are also the kind of folks you just look forward to spending the day with. Funny, down to earth, and hardworking. I'd recommend them a million times.

From the very first photo call with Sarah I knew I was making the right decision hiring this team for my wedding planning! Not a single detail was missed and coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy making decisions these girls made everything sooo easy and affordable. Even my friends and family on the day of the wedding feel in love with Sarah and Brooke. They couldn’t believe how professional and welcoming they were. They both truly become our best friends during this process. Do yourself a favor and hire these ladies, you won’t regret it!

As a wedding stationery and signage vendor, working with Sarah and Brooke is always a dream. They are one of the few teams I trust wholeheartedly to make the planning experience not only seamless, but truly unforgettable. I’ve worked with many planners in the area, and Sarah consistently delivers the most organized briefs, creative direction, and detailed timelines. Because of this, I always feel fully equipped to execute stationery and signage installations with ease and confidence. What sets Sarah apart is her ability to advocate for her clients’ vision while simultaneously empowering her vendor team to do their best work. She brings clarity, collaboration, and creativity to every event. I know that if I ever have a question or need input, Sarah will provide an honest, thoughtful response that reflects the full scope of the wedding design. At the heart of every wedding she plans is the goal to create something one-of-a-kind and show-stopping—and she inspires everyone around her to share that same mentality.
