About Knot Your Average Events

We are KNOT Your Average Coordinators

I started planning corporate events and special promos over 22 years ago and have been specializing in weddings for the past 20 years. As of January 17, 2022 I have been blessed with being a part of 356 solo weddings and quickly approaching over 450 while working with other event companies as an assistant or additional staff. I began coordinating weddings because my mom and her best friend tried to be my everything at my first wedding. Because they were my coordinators, decorators, and caterers they missed my first dance, cake cutting and every other special moment.

After being a site manager, sales consultant and wedding planner for a venue for 10 years watching couples be exhausted on their wedding day from setting up everything themselves, missing hair & make-up appointments because tasks were taking too long at the venue, and seeing couples clean up in their wedding attire… I vowed after that day that I wouldn’t let any other mother miss those special moments of their daughter’s special day.

And when we started KYAE we saw an opportunity to create a guest experience like none other over ten years ago… we want your wedding party to relax with you while getting ready, we want your parents to be present in those moments, we want to WOW your guests through a unique magical guest experience during your event, and most important when it’s all said and done we don’t want your family to stay behind and spend hours cleaning up. Our ultimate mission is our passion and that’s for you to be a guest on your special day and just live in the moment creating magical moments… trust the planning experience and allow us to tie up all of your loose ends…
