Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Hitched Planning + Floral has won two 2019 awards in Missouri!

Make your big day memorable and extraordinary with the help of Hitched Planning + Floral in Kansas City.

Hitched Planning + Floral has received more than 150 reviews on five verified sites with an average rating of 4.97 stars, earning them a stellar Rating Score™ of 99.73 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking among the top 25 businesses and the top five event planners in all of Missouri!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“We used them for our wedding, and everything was beautiful! They have no minimum, which we were thrilled about since we were not ordering a ton of flowers. They met with us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect! Jessica was also able to recommend flowers that she thought would look good with my color palette since I do not know much about flowers. The bouquets were gorgeous and held up the entire night. We even used them as centerpieces at the reception! Thank you, Hitched Planning + Floral!” – Justina L.

Not Your Average Event Planning Company

Dawn, Business Coordinator at Hitched Planning + Floral, took a few minutes out of her day to tell us a little more about this one-of-a-kind event planning company and the impressive online reputation they’ve managed to build.

To start our conversation, we asked Dawn what it is that sets Hitched Planning + Floral apart from their competition in Missouri. Dawn told us that they have a system in place that works really well for them and that there are always two people on-site for their clients during consultations.

Dawn went on to tell us that Hitched Planning + Floral was founded by two friends 15 years ago and now has one owner. The owner’s former partner is a flower grower, and they use her flowers still today!

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Hitched Planning + Floral and how they give back and make the world a better place. Here’s Dawn’s response:

“[Our mission is to] celebrate love!”

Building Success With the Right Team

When we asked Dawn about Hitched Planning + Floral’s secret to such a strong online reputation, she attributed it to their wonderful team and the good practices they follow. They do not solicit reviews.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Hitched Planning + Floral has spread the word about who they are and what they do by giving back to their community. Some of the ways they give back to their community is by doing style shoots, by being philanthropists and by contributing to the Kansas City Museum.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Hitched Planning + Floral has. After we asked what advice she has for them, Dawn emphasized the importance of knowing your stuff, being diplomatic and being able to walk a tightrope to keep the ship on course.

Congratulations to the team at Hitched Planning + Floral for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dawn, for taking the time to speak with us!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“There is nothing that I can say that will do Pearl Events justice for how amazing [they were] with handling my wedding. There is absolutely no way that our wedding would have gone off without a hitch if it weren’t for how professional, organized, knowledgeable, creative, fun, caring, amazing and beautiful Jen is. Jen was so patient with my mom and I over the year we had to plan the big day… I had to piece together every single detail for my big day. Every. Single. Detail. For the most indecisive person/bride in the world, this would have taken YEARS to plan on my own… I put all my trust in Jen ,and she made my dreams a reality. She exceeded all of my expectations with her vendor recommendations, knowledge, and recommendations about how to utilize the space, and with her ability to see into my mind and understand what I was looking for, when all I knew was what I wasn’t looking for. Jen gifted us with a stress-free wedding day, and we could not be more grateful. There is not one thing that we wish would have been different [or] better, and we owe it ALL to [Pearl Events Austin]. This was, hands-down, the most deserving five-star review I have ever written.” – E.B.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Pearl Events Austin is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

“We are trustworthy, proactive, and professional. We believe in creating a relationship with each client during, and after, the event planning process. Our goal is to make any wedding, social, or corporate event as seamless and stress-free as possible. At the end of the day, we want our clients to be nothing but happy with the outcome.”

She went on to tell us about how they work to improve their industry and take care of the people who hire them:

“We feel like we make the event industry a better place by educating our clients. We plan events every day, but we have to remember that our clients are usually very new to the planning world, so we do our best to be educational and honest throughout the process.”

Building Success, Online and Off

Pearl Events Austin has earned a fantastic reputation, both online and off, so we were excited to hear about some of the ways they have gotten their name out there. Becky said that she believes that word of mouth is one of the best ways to grow in the event planning industry. When we asked how they have gotten such awesome feedback in their online reviews, she said:

“Although we have many clients, I believe each of our clients feels like they get the one-on-one attention they deserve. We are huge on open communication and honesty throughout the entire planning process.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Pearl Events Austin has managed to. We asked if Becky could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:
