Hello there!
I’m Kaylee, the passionate owner and heart behind Kaylee Rutherford Weddings!

The joy and satisfaction that came from planning such meaningful and joyous events inspired me to pursue this passion professionally.

I’m absolutely thrilled to now bring my expertise, creativity, and unwavering dedication to you, helping couples craft unforgettable and magical wedding days. My primary goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free planning experience for each couple, ensuring that every intricate detail is thoughtfully managed and handled so you can fully immerse yourself and truly enjoy your special day. Choosing me as your planner means you’ll have a reliable companion by your side—someone who is personable, highly organized, and always focused on meeting your unique needs. I’m here to make sure no detail is overlooked, ensuring your wedding vision is skillfully transformed into a beautiful reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
We’d love to start working with you at any point in the process. However, our hope is to start at the very beginning with our couples. This allows us to suggest the right venue and vendors based on your desired wedding budget, and to ensure that we are best able to maximize that budget according to your needs, wants, and must-haves. That being said, we’re happy to assist you whenever you need support in your wedding planning journey.
-
Of course! We’re happy to pick up where you left off and coordinate with any of your current vendors to ensure no detail is unaccounted for as your wedding vision comes to life. We also have a list of preferred vendors. So if there are vendors you’re still looking to contract, we’re happy to curate a list of potential options that match your budget, aesthetic, and personality.
-
The best way to determine what level of support is right for you is by reaching out to us to schedule a complimentary consultation. Once we learn more about your vision, how involved you desire to be in the planning process, and more about the logistics of your event we can suggest the best option for you. We’d also be happy to customize a package based on your event needs.
-
A 50% non-refundable retainer is due upon signing the contract to secure your date. If a larger package or additional add-on(s) is chosen with a total equal to $3,000 or more, just let us know, and we will be happy to spread the payments over 3 or 4 dates, with the 1st date considered as the retainer. The remaining balance will be due 10 days before the wedding day.
-
You’re welcome to increase the level of support at any point and upgrade to a more comprehensive package if you realize that you require more assistance with the planning process. Just ask and we will be happy to add additional tasks to your Coordination or change to Full Planning option.
-
If there are additional services you need help with that aren’t outlined in your desired package, we’d be happy to add them in and create a custom package for you. We will include additional services with pricing in your custom proposal to browse through. If you are unsure at the time of making your service selection, no problem, you can return to your proposal at any time before your wedding date to select an add-on item.
-
Our goal is to be there for you throughout the entire process. You are able to schedule meetings and phone calls as needed, although we will be regularly checking in to ensure that everything is going smoothly, and no issues arise. In order to provide you with the best level of service, we have guidelines in place to streamline the communication process. This is to ensure whenever you reach out we can respond with our full attention and make note of any important details mentioned during our conversation.
-
Yes! We travel to destinations outside of Calgary, AB. There may be additional expenses related to travel and accommodations. Those additional expenses will be discussed during our initial meeting with you.
