A little bit of love from our clients


Rachel & William

Franklin, MA | September 2022

Where do I start???? Kelly and her team are incredible. If you’re thinking of booking someone to help coordinate/plan your wedding down to the last little details - then look no further. Kelly is the woman for the job and she will do an incredible job. I learned about LeslieJames Events by accident… I was on the phone with another vendor who I didn’t end up using, but he had nothing but wonderful things to say about Kelly. He said that whenever he looked around she was doing something to help out the team. And I knew that’s what I needed, a leader to help my wedding team in the final stages of my planning, a team to remind me of things I was forgetting, and a team to help make the best day of my life run smoothly. Kelly was the captain of that team and I cannot thank her enough. I feel so lucky that she was recommended to me. We had several meetings, phone calls, email exchanges, and texts leading up to the big day. She was always available whenever I needed her - even for all of my crazy questions! Kelly was in contact with all of my vendors. She helped me organize final payments. She created a minute by minute plan for the day. Kelly helped run my rehearsal. The day before the wedding she handled all of the craziness of tracking down last minute rental additions and making sure everything would be perfect. As a bride, I worried about everything and Kelly told me to trust her. She came through with everything we had planned and it was truly the best day ever - I wouldn’t change a thing. Kelly is a person that goes above and beyond and helped me with way more than I originally expected. On the day of there was a family emergency and she was the one who drove my uncle where he needed to be, without me even knowing about the situation! Kelly is timely, professional, detail oriented, friendly, personable, and an expert at what she does! It was an absolute joy to have her as our coordinator. I am so grateful to have found her and so appreciative of everything she did to make my wedding day perfect! Thank you Kelly!!! And thank you to your team - Jillian and Haley!

Danvers, MA | April 2022

We are so happy we hired Kelly to assist in planning and coordinating our 300 guest wedding. She was always ready to answer questions, bring her ideas, and to help take on tasks that I as a bride was very overwhelmed with. Her bubbly personality, positivity, and willingness to make your dreams a reality, were just a few of the reasons why we would recommend LJE for your future event! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and all of our vendors commended Kelly for making it possible.

Aisling & RJ

Boston, MA | June 2022

Looking back today, we can not imagine our wedding without Kelly. We were able to truly enjoy not only the big day, but the months leading up to the day as well - having confidence in the fact that Kelly had everything under control. We can not recommend Kelly enough - you will have a coordinator, a get stuff done-r, a listener, a supporter, and a friend in Kelly.

Duxbury, MA | September 2021

We entrusted the celebration of our daughter’s wedding, a true high point in our lives to Kelly Boyle of LeslieJames Events it was an enormous success thanks to her professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, people-skills and calming, kind manner. I can’t tell you how often we said, “how would we have done this without Kelly?

Liz & Dimitri

Topsfield, MA | August 2021

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe Leslie James Events and Kelly. She is the most wonderful, down to earth, kind, professional, personable and all around best wedding planner (and new friend!) we could ask for. She was fantastic and patient throughout all of our questions, and truly made our wedding better than we could ever imagine. Thank you so much Leslie James Events/Kelly for absolutely everything, we look forward to getting together for dinner soon and know if we need any party/event planning services going forward who to reach out to! ♥️♥️♥️

Anne & Jeff

Lexington, MA | December 2020

Hiring Kelly to plan our wedding was the best choice we made. Jeff and I finally canceled our 300+ person wedding in NH in early fall and started from scratch planning a micro-wedding in MA with just our immediate family members (15 wedding guests). We interviewed 5-6 other wedding planners and easily chose Kelly because of her enthusiasm, attention to detail, and our instant connection. Our new wedding was planned in about 5 weeks. Kelly had every detail mapped out and organized, and did an amazing job of interpreting our dream. Kelly has so many amazing assets that make her perfect for this role; she is creative, determined, attentive, passionate, thoughtful, friendly, and truly listened to our desires and concerns. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, and we appreciate her professionalism and the relationships she maintains with other vendors. Kelly went above and beyond on so many occasions and we feel so lucky to have found her! Kelly was more than just our wedding planner, she was our advocate, support, and new friend. Cutting out all extended family and friends from our wedding day was very difficult for us, but we are so glad that Kelly was one of the few individuals in attendance. Our wedding was very different than what we had originally planned, however, it reflected the romantic, holiday fun that we always hoped for. We spent the entire day smiling and enjoying ourselves, and truly could not have pulled it off without Kelly. We would hire her again without hesitation!

Randi & Jon

Boston Public Garden | October 2020

Her warmth and enthusiasm was obvious from the start, and I immediately knew she was the right planner for me. Since that initial call, Kelly rescheduled our wedding with gusto ... and when we decided to reschedule the big day for a second time and throw in an elopement, Kelly never missed a beat. As I lost my enthusiasm for the process and increasingly relied on her to take over, she consistently exceed my expectations with her organization, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment to making our wedding ceremony special. Not only did Kelly handle absolutely everything for our elopement from a logistical standpoint (permits, schedules, hotel for me to get ready in, floral arrangements, etc.), but she also surprised us with little details like a picnic blanket “reception” with cheese, bread, and doughnuts.

Becca& Lou

Ipswich, MA | July 2022

Kelly, worked with us over the past year. She coordinated our vendors, listened to what my daughter wanted for her special day, and made the magic happen flawlessly. The wedding was perfectly spectacular. Kelly is a cheerful, can do person who is incredibly well organized. We enjoyed the time we spent working with her. She immediately put us at ease. Her favorite saying” I’ve got you” and she did have us. Thank you!

Ann & John

Cambridge, MA | June 2022

Kelly Boyle is a gem and her enthusiasm is genuine! We appreciated the guidance she provided during the months, weeks and days leading up to our wedding. Kelly coordinated vendors and ensured that everyone stayed on schedule. She is a true professional and we would highly recommend her!
— Ann

Abby & Chris

Cambridge, MA | May 2022

Wow, having Kelly coordinating our wedding was so, so helpful, and she took care of so much more than I had anticipated when we initially hired her. There are just so many details and deadlines to keep track of in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and without Kelly there’s no way we would have managed to coordinate among all our vendors to get the timeline and details worked out and consistent. I was so relieved knowing that Kelly had a system in place to manage and keep track of everything! Plus she made sure I ate lunch and drank water the day of the wedding :) I would absolutely recommend working with her!
— Abby

Kate & Ben

Melrose, MA | October 2021

Kelly and her team were magic, both leading up to the day and throughout our micro-wedding. She thought of everything, recommended phenomenal vendors, and brought such a genuine and warm presence to every interaction. She even organized an Olympics to keep our kids entertained while the adults enjoyed a 6-course meal from a personal chef. She is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. 1000% recommend!

Nancy & Daniel

Boston, MA | June 2021

Kelly was the best investment I could have made for my wedding day. I started working with Kelly in January of 2020 for my December wedding. Due to COVID it was pushed back until this June 2021. Let me tell you, Kelly stayed in contact with me all throughout this process of moving dates, changing plans etc. She was 1000% onboard and engaged in my wedding. Kelly stepped up the whole wedding weekend from rehearsal to day of. Kelly, is a hardcore professional with a fun side that is always on the side of the couple. She was boss during issues with the reception venue and handled it like a pro. I love Kelly!!! Couples out there if you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed and a little (lot) lost please reach out to her for help and guidance. Kelly- thank you for a beautiful day!!

Maya & Dan

Acton, MA | June 2021

Kelly changed our lives. She helped us plan and implement a wedding after we had to change plans three months before the date (during COVID) and made the process so enjoyable. Kelly is the sort of planner who will deal with pesky relatives, bring the bridal party drinks on command, and bustle the most complicated of dresses, and make it look easy. Kelly planned the most beautiful wedding we could have asked for!

Devin & Tom

Cape Cod | September 2020

We can’t recommend the service that Kelly provided enough. While planning a small wedding we were unsure about the prospect of hiring a planner. We are so happy that we did, the day would simply not have happened without her. Kelly not only supported our vision for the day but also brought fresh ideas and perspective. Most importantly her unbelievable network of vendors made the entire planning process much less stressful. Kelly is easy to work with, attentive and creative.
— Devin & Tom

Perrin & Jarrod

Arlington, MA | June 2022

We had a wonderful experience with Kelly Boyle and LeslieJames Events! We found Kelly about 13 months prior to our desired wedding date. We had absolutely no idea where to start with wedding planning and Kelly took a very broad vision for the day and helped us have the exact wedding we wanted. Kelly is so responsive and professional. Our meetings with her were an absolute delight and she managed to make planning a wedding be stress-free, fun, and really enjoyable. Her knowledge of local vendors was incredible. She helped us stay within our budget while never once making it feel like we were cutting corners or compromising on quality. It is so clear that Kelly loves her job and that enthusiasm is infectious. Her team with LeslieJames Events was awesome. Not only did she make the wedding plan fun and easy, she and her assistant made sure that the wedding day was amazing. If there was a single hiccup on the day, we were (and still are!) completely unaware. We were able to be fully present with each other and our guests because we knew that Kelly had everything handled. We cannot recommend LeslieJames Events enough! She is a Boston must-have for weddings!

Becky & Tyler

Morgann & Will

Harvard, MA | September 2021

I can’t even start to describe how much LJE took such a stressful event and turned it into a breeze! I’ll be honest - as the groom I wasn’t entirely sure why we needed a day-of/wedding coordinator (we can do this all ourselves right?) but I very much quickly saw the light when Kelly was able to come in and asking about all the details we weren’t thinking of and working with all of our vendors to ensure a frictionless wedding day. Kelly was even kind enough to help clean up the day after and honestly she’s just an amazing human overall. Can’t recommend Kelly and LJE enough - absolutely superb, caring people who are looking out for your best interests.

Jillian & Nick

Gloucester, MA | June 2021

We could not have pulled together what Kelly and her team did on the day of our wedding. She brought our vision to life in ways we didn’t even envision or imagine. She handled every hiccup and bump leading up to the wedding with professionalism, grace, and enthusiasm! We had such a unique space to work with – so many things could have went wrong if we had attempted to pull this off without her, but she pulled everything together so beautifully, without a worry from our side – our friends and family will be talking about it for many years to come!

Monica & Nick

Providence | October 2019

We were so lucky to work with Kelly, who was willing to travel and despite not being from our town (Providence, RI) was immediately able to dive in and help navigate the local wedding merchant scene, which was relatively new to us being recent transplants. We had a vague vision of what we wanted, but were honestly better at articulating what we *didn’t want* (the wedding cliches you see over and over on pinterest) and she helped us channel our ideas into a tangible, realistic vision that was unique to us and far exceeded our expectations. Kelly was fabulous for breaking down necessary steps, helping to set reasonable timelines, and providing us with multiple options (price/aesthetics/response time) so we could truly choose the best option for us.

Sarah & Noel

Salem, MA | September 2019

Working with Kelly was an absolute pleasure! She was always professional and prompt with every step of the process. Kelly is a seasoned expert in event planning and knows how to work with vendors and all things related to wedding coordination and planning. We used Kelly as a “Day of Event” coordinator and she was outstanding. We could not have been more pleased! She kept everyone on time and to task with great kindness and tact and she always went above and beyond with anything that came up! I highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again in the future and have recommended her to others as well!

50th Birthday!

Boston | July 2018

Kelly is an amazing event planner and is so easy to work with! From helping with decisions about venues, menus, and logistics down to the intricate details that make the event successful, Kelly is the consummate professional. She took the time to add special touches to my celebration that I never would have thought of, making it more magical, special, and memorable than I could have imagined.
