Kendra made my wedding day PERFECT! I truly don t think we could have done it without her. She met with us before to iron out all of the details you do not even think of prior to the wedding day. TRUST ME you do not realize how many little details there are that you dont even realize you need to plan for. The day felt so fun and so calm all at the same time, I never had a single thing to worry about. Short story, we had a bridesmaids dress completely tear down the back and the ambulance had to be called because a ring got stuck on a bridesmaids finger ALL right before the wedding ceremony lol. Kendra made sure all of that was handled and I never even knew until after! She is truly the best at what she does, I would use her a 1000x over! So thankful for all her hard work to make such a sweet day so memorable!

Kendra made my dreams come true, and then some! When I tell you my day was flawless, the literal only thing that went wrong that I found out after the wedding was my mom s dress malfunctioning! Kendra had us ON TIME for every scheduled part of our day. All of my vendors were so kind and did their jobs perfectly as planned and expected. Communication with her team was flawless. I always knew what was going on, and as the bride that can kindof be stressful right? But it wasn t because of my planner and her team! I chose the ultimate package where Kendra used a lot of her decorations she has collected over time and let me tell you the decor was even better than I pictured. She really knows how to take your thoughts and wishes and turn them in to reality but better! I am so beyond thankful for Kendra. She will always be special to me for making the best day of my life as beautiful and sweet and simple so that me , my husband and our family and friends could enjoy an absolute wonderful day! Book her! Don t even look further. She is the real deal and this is her God given gift to orchestrate events and weddings how she does.

It is always an absolute pleasure working with Kenra and her team. As a caterer that has worked a number of events with her as the planner, I can tell you that her attention to detail is exceptional. Her level of communication leading up to each event has always been outstanding and I know that if I have last minute questions, I can always reach out and she is very quick to provide the answer. Each event I have been a part of with her and her team has been beautifully decorated, meticulously detailed, and very well thought out. Myself and my team always look forward to events when we know that Kendra and her team are putting it all together, it makes it so much less stressful knowing that everything we need will already be taken care of. From a vendor standpoint, I can say that working with Kendra and her team is always wonderful and if her level of professionalism is this high with vendors, I have no doubt that her level of excellence with clients is top tier!

Kendra was absolutely incredible. The party she designed surpassed my imagination, and she was so delightful to work with. She came over and asked me all about my son s personality and then threw him a 16th party incorporating all his interests you would have thought she d known him all his life. The party was SO him!! 5 stars for Kendra Duke Design.

We had such a great experience with Kendra and her team. Kendra was attentive, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the process. She was also very considerate of our budget. She and her team went above and beyond on the wedding day, putting together the most memorable experience for the bride and groom. They paid attention to every detail. The venue looked incredible once they were finished decorating. They also handled the vendors, my family, and my friends ideally. We highly recommend Kendra and her team. -the mother of the bride

When deciding and planning for my wedding, I knew I really wanted a wedding planner. Kendra Duke was recommended by my Aunt who had used Kendra and her team for her own wedding. Not only was she an amazing wedding planner and got things done. She also was very professional and amazing person to work with! Kendra and her team went above and beyond to make our day one to remember! She took my vision and exceeded my expectations. Our special day was perfect in every way thanks to Kendra and her team!

Kendra was the coordinator for our daughters wedding earlier this month in Austin, TX. To say we could not have done this without her and her team is an understatement! We were planning the wedding from Abilene, TX and Philadelphia, PA, and without Kendras expertise, we would have been lost. She was on top of every detail, ensuring we thought of and addressed every aspect of the wedding and reception, and was conscientious of budgets. She was extremely organized, giving us every confidence that all of our plans were under control and being executed to our specifications. The day of the wedding, when we had to make last-minute decisions related to weather contingencies, Kendra was calm, presented all options with a smile on her face, again, giving us a peace that helped us know we didnt need to worry about what needed to happen behind the scenes - everything just happened flawlessly. What truly stood out was that no matter the question or frequency of questions, Kendra responded quickly and thoughtfully - it felt like we were the only wedding she was planning and that she had all the time in the world for just us (not sure how she did that, but she sure did!) Her expertise, knowledge and kind demeanor were what made this day what it was - absolutely perfect! Thank you, Kendra and Team <3 The Young-Brown Wedding June 2023

Kendra Duke Design and her team went above and beyond my expectations to make my dream wedding come true! Kendra was recommended by a family friend and I am so thankful I chose her as my wedding planner! Wedding planning can be very overwhelming, but with Kendra s experience and expertise of the wedding industry made the process stress free! She provides a month to month breakdown of tasks that need to be completed leading up to your wedding date which takes the stress of needing to do it all at once! All of my vendors were recommended by Kendra that aligned within my budget and I cannot express how awesome they teamed up to execute my special day! If there were any hiccups or problems that occurred I had no idea about it because Kendra and her team took care of it! My wedding day was a dream come true and I have received the best feedback from all of my guests on every aspect from start to finish! If you are thinking about hiring a planner Kendra is your girl! I could not have done it without her!

Kendra Duke Design went above and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. I do not have enough words to express how amazing Kendra was to work with! Wedding planning is intimidating and stressful, but with Kendra s experience and knowledge of the wedding industry, everything came together perfectly. Kendra placed me in contact with several vendors my guests raved about and said they were the best they d ever seen at a wedding. They also loved how organized our wedding was. They knew at all times what was going on and what was happening next. Also, She kept me on track with what needed to be planned monthly. This allowed me to not worry over everything that had to be done but to accomplish a few things each month leading up to the wedding. You need Kendra Duke Design! She is the best! I could not have planned my wedding without her.

I have a hard time coming up with accolades for Kendra and her team, because they deserve them all, and more! They went above and beyond to make my wedding day a seamless, perfect, dream come true! Her and her team came from Abilene to Lubbock to set up my reception, and they tore it all down when the party was over as well! I had a Catholic wedding and Kendra did extensive research throughout the wedding planning process to make sure she was 100% familiar with how a Catholic nuptial mass was celebrated. The priests that preformed the ceremony let me know that they were very impressed with her knowledge and professionalism! Kendra is also located about 2.5 hours away from me/where the wedding was celebrated and she made multiple drives to see me for face to face meetings and to see the church, etc. I am not a creative/design-minded person and I was not as concerned with my wedding reception as I was with the actual ceremony. I had a rough vision of how I wanted the reception to look and Kendra took that, ran with it, and made it more beautiful than anything I could have dreamed of! Even when I had ideas that didn t exactly pan out Kendra came up with a solution that worked out even better! I was one of those people who was on the fence about hiring a wedding planner. I thought I could do it myself, and I wouldn t end up spending as much money. Boy was I wrong! I would hire Kendra again and again hands down.

We wanted our daughter to have the wedding of her dreams within our budget. I never dreamed a wedding planner would fit into our budget but after meeting Kendra, we knew making her part of the budget was a priority. Kendra is a dream to work with and she is the reason the wedding was so beautiful & stress free. Even with cancellations coming last minute due to COVID, high winds changing our plans & a missing wedding cake, we knew Kendra had everything under control. I highly recommend you visit with Kendra about any event. She s phenomenal.

Its hard to put a price on the incredible service that Kendra and her team provide to make a wedding a beautiful event. Kendra is a wealth of help and information. I actually saved money because she was able to suggest other excellent, but reasonably-priced, vendors and services. Kendra is a great listener and communicator. Shes a we will make that happen kind of person! Our daughters wedding was beautiful and well-organized from day one! Kendras ability to organize the myriad of wedding details with joy and laughter is truly a gift. The structure she provides actually creates freedom and eases stress and tension. (Because lets face it, weddings can be stressful!) She takes it all on her shoulders with strength, grace and a smile on her face. What a blessing! Wow!

Kendra is awesome!! If you re looking for an organized, honest & girl boss to help plan your wedding, then it s her! Her great communication skills made everything so less stressful. Planning a wedding is hard, but with Kendra s help, everything became so much easier. The wedding day went so smoothly because of Kendra. She had a schedule for the day of that all of the vendors and wedding party had a week prior to my wedding. On top of being so professional, Kendra is real and won t steer you in the wrong direction. I could not recommend her enough! She was a joy to work with!!

Our family runs an airBnB and venue, The Acre, in Abilene, TX. I always feel more relaxed when I know I m turning our place over to Kendra and her team. She is the perfect balance of creativity and organization. Her treasure trove of furniture and decor that accompanies her services is such a bonus! When Kendra Duke says she ll take care of you and your event, she delivers!

All credit to Kendra and her team -- they are the best! If youre not sure if you should hire a wedding planner...you should and it should be Kendra!

Kendra Duke.....you are amazing!!! From the very beginning to the very end, you helped make a dream wedding come true for my daughter and our entire group of family & friends! The monthly meetings we always looked forward to as we sat together planning & preparing, were never stressful in any way. You organized each month leading up to the wedding day in complete detail, making it easy for us to come together and create a beautiful wedding! The day before and the day of the wedding was as flawless as it could be! Having you and your team there to keep us on time every minute of that BIG day made it completely stress free for us all.

Kendra Duke was a blessing and Godsend as we planned my daughter s wedding. She is organized and professional and kept us moving toward the wedding day. She was patient and worked well within our budget to make sure that the day was everything my daughter hoped for. She was organized but flexible and a few necessary changes near the day did not shake her at all! She even made a late run to a fabric store to make sure the scene was exactly what we hoped for. She asks beautiful questions, to learn and discern what is important to the bride for the day. She was careful to make sure that the day was what my daughter wanted, not to infer what she (as the planner) wanted. She was the perfect blend of helpful without being pushy. She kept the entire process joyful for me and my daughter. She became like family. Words escape that would properly describe the joy of her actual wedding day. I completely enjoyed every moment. I completely trusted Kendra to communicate with vendors, to make sure things were done as we had specified and to run the event. And she did it beautifully! On that day, I joyfully watched and participated in the event. I got to watch and cherish every moment as my daughter got ready, as the band set up, and as friends and loved ones started coming in. I got to just relax and take it all in as Kendra had it all under control. The event went off almost seamlessly (a wasp was a bit of a comic relief), and Kendra s professionalism and skill was paramount to the day. It was perfect, and I sincerely could not express my gratitude to her enough. Kendra is a bright light, and joyful spirit. Because of her help, I loved every minute and wish we could do it all again.

We got married the first week Covid hit Texas. Everything was closing down and having our wedding date In a few months we decided to get married the next day before the problem got worse especially not knowing the future. Kendra Duke Designs created a beautiful 10 person wedding with in 24 hours for us. From designing our breathtaking venue to getting all of our vendors on the same page, she gave us exactly what our hearts wanted. If you have anyThoughts on having Kendra Duke designs plan and design your wedding she is more than worth every penny. From the moments and weeks of wedding planning I grew close to her and she pulled out all the dreams that I didn t know that I had about my perfect day. We are more than grateful for her and for this company.

Kendra Duke Design and her team were more than amazing to work with. We had monthly meetings leading up to my wedding and I have to honestly say, I m sad they have come to an end! My mom and I looked forward to them each month. At each meeting we had a checklist to work through and it kept the wedding planning process super organized. Not once did I feel stressed. The monthly timeline Kendra used helped keep us on track. We knew what needed to be done each month and what was to come in the future months. At our first planning meeting, Kendra made notes about what was most important to me and my husband at our wedding. Throughout the whole process, Kendra and her team kept those things the priority. They are all extremely talented and have different gifts that help my dream wedding come to life and even better than I imagined. The day of the wedding was so much fun and stress-free! My family and I did not worry about a thing and were able to soak up every minute which I am so thankful for! If you are planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and get Kendra Duke Design to help you plan the wedding you dream of. You will have no regrets!

I have had the pleasure of having Kendra decorate 3 events for me. Two were fall feasts and one was a Covid wedding. She is filled with creativity, genuinely works with my goals, and makes it so easy and fun in the process. Kendra has the unique ability to be in high pressure situations and not get stressed. She truly brings peace to the decorating process and the day of the event. Every dollar has been more than worth it. I have already booked her for our next party! Everything that she does blows my expectations out of the water. She is a rare talent ... and an even more delightful person to work with.

I wasn t a big fan of a wedding planner throughout the process. I didn t see the point really...UNTIL the day of the wedding. All the planning and time came together. Kendra and her team are worth their weight in gold. Just knowing how much stress she took of my wife on such an important day was priceless.

Kendra makes the entire wedding planning process such a FUN experience. Her calm spirit is such a joy to be around and her ability to diffuse a potentially stressful situation is one of her superpowers! We met with her monthly, which kept us on track and worry free. Kendra asks the right questions and listens to her clients. Many people asked during the process if we were overwhelmed or ready for it to be over, but because of Kendra, we would gladly do it all again! The weekend of the wedding was SO EASY and we were all able to enjoy every detail because Kendra and her team took care of everything! They are full of kindness and excitement and make you feel like yours is the only wedding they have on their calendar. We recommend hiring Kendra Duke Design for all of your wedding planning needs! You wont regret it for one minute!
