Hi, I'm Kelsey!

MEET KELSEY

Hey! I'm so glad you're here. I am the founder and lead planner of Coastal Drift Events. I am born and raised on the Gulf Coast, so I know this place like the back of my hands. I love my family, traveling, good vibes, and the sand between my toes. Coastal Alabama has had such an impact on me, and I truly love helping others create unforgettably, special moments. 

To me, t
his business is so much more than planning events. I look at each event as a unique, special day where I get to create magic and memories that last forever! It would be my absolute pleasure to dream with you and bring your visions to life. 

​

                                                                 xoxo 

                                                                Kelsey

HOW IT WORKS

01

INITIAL CONSULTATION

An initial consultation is essential at the beginning of any planning process! It allows us to connect and also gives us an idea of what you are looking for in terms of planning services and your vision for the event.

02

DETERMINE 
YOUR PLANNING NEEDS

After I get to know your vision and pertinent details of your event, we can start to define what your planning needs are and where Coastal Drift Events fits in. We will talk through a planning proposal and what we plan to do for your event.

03

LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Finally! We have the event details, we have gotten all of that legal mumbo jumbo out of the way (aka signed contract and retainer), and you are feeling confident that we are the perfect choice to help bring your vision to life. Now all of the planning fun begins!

“Where do I begin?! Kelsey is an absolute lifesaver!! I knew from our initial phone conversation, that Coastal Drift Events was perfect for us. Being an out of state bride has its challenges, but Kelsey made everything a breeze, every step of the way. At one point, I was certain that she could just read my mind. What I truly appreciate is her professionalism and communication. Coastal Drift Events allowed us to enjoy our day without a SINGLE flaw or stress.."
