Darlene Heck, Mother of the Bride:  “Kim King Smith was my wedding planner      for my daugher’s wedding at the Indiana Roof Ballroom on June 12, 2010. The wedding was absolutely magical and Kim poured her heart and soul into the planning process. She was able to guide me to wonderful vendors, advise me with my contracts and help immeasurably with the time line. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, and I could not have done it without her and her staff. Your daughter’s wedding day is a once in a lifetime event and it is important to choose a wedding planner that will give 110% and see your vision, no matter what price point you are working with. Kim has the ability to see the final picture and be supportive and encouraging in the process. It is important to have someone who is always upbeat and willing to help work out any problems that arise. Kim is exceptional in that regard, and I recommend her highly to make your event as wonderful as mine.”

Having Kim at our rehearsal and wedding took the worry out of making sure our wedding party and vendors were doing what they were supposed to do. It made the celebration so much more fun and relaxing for myself and my family. We were able to enjoy some of the most special moments in our lives!

She also kept everyone on schedule, which the guests appreciated. All of the preplanning on her part helped as well… she took a lot of the stress out of the reception preparation! We can’t thank her enough for her help with our special day!”

Janet Milazzo, Mother of the Bride: “My daughter and I thought that we could handle the wedding day by ourselves. Boy, were we wrong! I hired Kim shortly before the wedding day and she was a life saver. I kept saying to myself on the day of the wedding, “What were you thinking?” I would have been running around, frantically, without Kim. With Kim there, I did not worry, she saw to every detail. My daughter’s day was perfect, beautiful and I completely enjoyed myself! Kim King Smith was one of the big reasons it was perfect!”
