"Our goal is to create BEAUTIFUL, Stress-free weddings that everyone gets to be fully present for."
Kendra kern
Founder, lead planner & Designer
I’m Kendra, the founder, lead planner, and designer behind Dovely Event Planning.
I started this business because I believe a wedding day should feel like the most YOU day of your life, not a Pinterest board and definitely not a recycled design from someone else’s wedding.
That’s why I take on a limited number of couples each year.
Every wedding gets my full, undivided attention from the day you book me to the moment your last guest goes home.
And before I recommend a single vendor or make a single design decision, I sit down with you to understand who you are as a couple, your style, your personality, and the way you want your day to feel for both you and your guests.
Because the truth is, the best weddings aren’t just beautiful, they’re felt.
You feel it when you walk into a space that looks exactly like you imagined. Your guests feel it when every detail has been thought through with them in mind. And you feel it most at the end of the night, when you realize you weren’t just at your wedding, you were fully present for every moment of it.
That’s what I build for my couples. A day that reflects who you are, takes care of the people you love, and lets you be there for all of it.
No two weddings should ever look or feel the same because every couple is unique and that’s the philosophy I take into every wedding I plan.
If that sounds like the kind of experience you are looking for, I’d love to help you bring your wedding vision to life!
Debbie Ullah
lead planner
Meet Debbie, our lead planner with over 30 years of event planning experience.
Debbie has spent her career doing what she loves most and even after countless weddings, she still gets emotional watching couples say “I do.”
What sets her apart is the way she sees every wedding as a transformation.
She loves walking into an empty space at the start of the day and watching it become something beautiful by the time guests arrive. The flowers, the linens, the lighting, the way every single detail comes together, that’s the part she lives for.
But ask anyone who’s worked with her, and they’ll tell you the same thing.
Debbie is a people person through and through. She’s warm, she’s funny, and she has this rare ability to make every couple feel like they’re her favorite. She gets to know you.
She remembers the little things.
By the time your wedding day arrives, she’s not just your planner, she’s family. If you’re working with Debbie, you’re in the best hands possible. And you’re going to have a really good time getting there.
