MEET THE TEAM
Video by Jessalyn Meehan Films
As 2020 was a turning point for many of us, it became the year I realized my passion for this industry was bigger than any traditional career path. That is when The Main Event by Kelly was born and when I committed to building something intentional, personal and rooted in genuine connection.
From the very beginning, I have been driven by one goal: to create weddings that feel beautifully unique to each couple. I knew I wanted to impact not only their wedding day but also the entire planning journey. I wanted my clients to feel cared for, supported and understood. That has become the core of what I do.
I value authenticity, connection and the relationships we build along the way. Whether it is through design, organization or guidance, my purpose is to help you create your own unforgettable celebration — one that feels elevated, effortless and entirely you.
If we have spoken or met in person, you already know I bring a blend of warmth, structure and genuine passion to everything I do. I was born and raised in Provence, so you could say I am “made in France” and refined in New York. That mix has shaped the way I plan, design and host. It gave me an early appreciation for beauty, hospitality and the little details that make life feel special.
I have been planning weddings for more than a decade throughout the Hudson Valley, Upstate New York, the Capital Region, the Berkshires and the Lake George region. This industry is not only my career, it is the thing I love most. If I had to pick any other job, it would probably still be something connected to weddings. I thrive on creating meaningful experiences, building relationships, and bringing calm leadership to the most important day of someone’s life.
Outside of my work, I am a wife of almost ten years and a mom to two energetic young boys who keep life fun and full. My family grounds me and inspires the way I approach my business. I understand what it means to balance dreams, time, budgets and priorities. That perspective has shaped the way I support my clients and lead my team.
Bonjour

MEET LEXI
I am proud to be part of The Main Event by Kelly team as Kelly’s first assistant. My journey began in 2022 when I discovered an internship opportunity on Instagram and felt an immediate pull toward the wedding industry. I had no idea this experience would shape my career in such a meaningful way.
I bring an energetic, personable and uplifting presence to every wedding day. Supporting Kelly and our couples has shown me how much joy comes from creating moments that truly matter. I love being part of a process that blends organization, creativity and the excitement of celebrating people’s stories.
I have always been drawn to helping others and making a positive impact, and I believe I am exactly where I am meant to be. One of my favorite reminders is a lyric I hold close to my heart: “Everyday above ground is a great day.” It inspires me to stay grateful, be kind and appreciate the connections we make along the way.
I cannot wait to support you throughout your wedding planning experience and help make your day unforgettable.
