The owner of KVB Events, Kimberly, has been in the Event Planning business for 6+ years. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality Management and has also completed the Special Events and Meetings program at Florida International University. Kimberly loves to attend wedding and special event association meetings and conferences, and gaining new knowledge about current industry trends. Since KVB Events launched, we have been on multiple of South Florida’s venues special vendor lists because of our extensive knowledge and expertise in the Event Planning industry.

Typically, Catering Managers at hotels or venues have the job of overseeing your event details that are directly related to the venue (and sometimes the food and beverage as well). It is not in their job description to confirm your vendors, run your rehearsal, oversee the vendors on your wedding day, cue you down the aisle at your ceremony or make sure all of the day’s events are running according to schedule. As professional Event Planners, our services supplement the services offered by your Catering Manager, Banquet Manager & Staff, and other vendors.

Anywhere from 9-12 months prior to your event date is a good time to start planning.
