Hi there. I'm

kaleb

SO GREAT to meet you

AT HEART, I’M here because i love people.

Whether it’s a deep conversation, a good laugh or simply being together, it’s the people in my life that make everything around me feel beautiful. I am forever in awe of people’s stories, how they came together and the parts of their life they are allowing me to create for them. Being a wedding planner is an honor and I’m grateful to call so many of my past clients now friends.

I began my career as a florist & designer. Flowers have always held the ability to speak when there aren’t words to share and create environments that transcend space and time. As I progressed as a florist and a designer, I saw the need for the events I was involved in as a whole to experience a more cohesive approach, so decided to combine my love for design, with my love for organization and efficiency. KNJ was formed and we’ve been planning weddings around the world ever since.

My greatest inspiration comes from my love of European & traditional architecture, all things Ralph Lauren & traveling the world. These have all greatly influenced my approach to developing my signature aesthetic, combining old world grandeur, with a finely edited sense of restraint. Ralph’s words have been a guide to me as I’ve me as I’ve built this business, helping me remember the true intention behind what it is I do:

“What I do is about living. It’s about living the best life you can and enjoying the fullness of the life around you- from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love.” - Ralph Lauren

WE CELEBRATE ALL RACES, GENDERS, SEXUALITIES, AND RELIGIONS. ALL are welcome and celebrated here.

 

my values

 

kindness

From a young age, it was instilled in me an understanding that kindness and intentionality will take me further than anything else. With these qualities laying the foundation, I began my company with the intent of being my client's greatest advocate and also their friend. Gaining my clients trust and confidence is paramount from the start. It’s from this place I am able to create an event that truly personifies their personalities and love for each other

passion

PASSION IS WHAT DRIVES ME.

I’m often asked how I handle the stress of wedding planning. When passion is what drives you, it allows for the stress to fade in comparison to the love behind it all. It makes the long days & countless flights all worth it. Having my clients trust is an empowering reality and adds fuel to the planning process, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

intent

I strive for every decision to be grounded with intent, allowing for meaning and intentionality to be the foundation of my designs. I want people to feel moved and impacted by what they experience at our weddings. Intent doesn’t just mean it’s deep either- weddings should be a celebration…they should be fun! Our weddings are by all means elegant and formal, but they’re also incredible parties! I think the combination of the two is what makes for an experience that touches everyone, wherever they’re at and makes for the greatest memories.

Kaleb is an absolute dream! He handled every detail for our wedding day and made the process such a joy. He listened to us, understood what was important, and then executed a day that was incredibly beautiful and felt so "us." Not only was our wedding literally perfect, but it was also truly the most fun I have ever had. Kaleb brings such a calming presence to what can be a stressful process and thinks of every detail. I went into my wedding day relaxed because I trusted that Kaleb had everything under control--and he more than delivered! He also has the BEST team. Every vendor he introduced us to was so professional and immediately understood the vibe we were looking for. I tell every newly engaged bride I know that working with Kaleb was the single best decision we made in the wedding planning process. There is no one else like him--I almost want to get married again just so I can work with Kaleb again. He is that special!

I can undoubtedly say that Kaleb is the best in the business! Not only is he so unbelievably talented, but who he is personally, made the entire process of working with him SO much fun. He exceeded every dream I ever had for my wedding and made it more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Kaleb is brilliant, attentive, kind and diligent. He knows the details of weddings inside and out, taking the weight off of our shoulders, thinking of things we never would have considered to make the day as special and easy as possible. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Kaleb, and would highly recommend him to anybody else.
