owner & event Director
KELLY STRONG
Kelly has produced weddings, corporate events, and association conferences for over a decade. After starting in professional sports marketing, Kelly moved into Corporate Event Planning. Working on corporate conferences, executive retreats, galas, week-long association conferences, social events, and multi-day wedding weekends - Kelly has experienced every kind of event.
Kelly approaches each client experience in the same way: with deep curiosity about who her clients are, what they love, and how they want to feel. From there, she builds a design and production framework so thorough that the day itself feels inevitable. Like it could have only ever felt just like this.
Kelly's aesthetic is considered and refined. Creating events that won't feel dated, anchored in her clients' personalities, rather than the trends of the moment.
Kelly is based in Upstate New York with her husband, Dean, and their daughter.

"Kelly truly makes magic happen for her couples. My husband and I had the best day of our lives and so much of that is because Kelly gave us the gift of being able to enjoy each other and our day without a single worry.

"Kelly brings such a sense of calm to every aspect of planning all the way through to the wedding day. The most thoughtful, detail-oriented and organized person - it felt like she knew what we wanted better than we did and was able to effortlessly bring our vision to life and executed everything flawlessly."

"Our experience with Kelly Strong was nothing but positive. Kelly did such an outstanding job with our first daughter's wedding, that we hired her right away for our second daughter's wedding. She is kind, extremely organized, experienced and fun to work with! There was nothing Kelly couldn't handle."
