McKinney & Dallas Wedding Planner
About
Mission & Values
Our mission is “to champion our clientele and be their key resource to inspired events."
We are your representatives and guides through the ever-changing world of wedding and event planning. Your hopes and dreams become ours and we work hard to make sure your vision becomes a reality. We devote our experience, high energy and attention-to-detail to organizing your celebration so you can enjoy every step along the way.
Our core values guide the way we interact with our clients, our vendors and our community. They are:
The key to setting our clients up for success is in getting to know their goals and what is important to them. We work hard to get them what they want. We advocate for them, we laugh with them, we celebrate with them.
We believe in the power of laughter. Laughter helps to break up the intensity of the planning process and we love those moments of levity at our meetings and events.
We are passionate and enthusiastic people. We go above and beyond to proactively prevent problems. In our desire to be authentic and genuine, we always give clients our honest opinions based on our experience.
We believe in teamwork. We’re here to lead and advocate for our clients, not just remind them of their to-do list.
We are always open to exploring new ideas with our clients. There is no one “right way” for all events.
We believe in challenging ourselves and continuing education both personally and professionally. As we grow as individuals, we better those around us.
We are allies of the LGBTQIA+ Community and absolutely believe Black Lives Matter. Clients of all backgrounds, age, gender, and sexual orientation are welcome and supported here.
We love clients who enjoy sarcasm, laugh a lot, and care deeply.
Our History
Each & Every Detail was created in 2005 by our owner, Wendy Kidd, where she began by specializing in weddings. Her belief in providing each couple with loyal and high quality service led her to create a company where she could do just that! She fell in love with the industry and jumped right in, volunteering on boards of local industry groups and taking on leadership roles to support higher standards in the industry. The company grew quickly and in 2009, Wendy added her first team members at the same time she became an instructor with the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners. Her passion for education helped create an amazing team of women who each carried on the tradition of helping couples plan the weddings of their dreams while having fun!
We continued to invest in our community through the Wish Upon a Wedding program, which grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances. We branched out into more than just weddings in 2018, serving our community by planning social and corporate events. As a leader in the industry, it was natural for Wendy to also add services to help mentor event industry professionals to help them grow their businesses. In 2020, Each & Every Detail added even more services, including stationery and accessories to help their planning clients, but also any who needed paper products for their events or personal use.
Today, Each & Every Detail is known as the premier wedding and event planning studio in the North Dallas area and is respected throughout the events industry in the DFW metroplex. Our team is proud to offer event planning services to all types of clients. We love being their go-to resource, helping them create beautiful and fun moments in their lives.
Wendy Kidd
Founder and Owner
Wendy's passion for helping couples enjoy wedding planning and create the wedding of their dreams is why she is the founder of Each & Every Detail. She started in the industry as a wedding and events venue manager, and after working with couples lost in the planning process, she jumped into wedding planner training and started her company while working full time at a venue in 2005. Within a year, she took the leap and took Each & Every Detail full-time. She has loved helping couples plan their wedding ever since! As Wendy puts it, her intuition is her greatest strength in working with her clients. She loves getting to know them and figuring out what would make them happy so she can deliver it. Wendy is a Certified Master Wedding Planner with the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners and currently serves as their Training Course Director, instructing and mentoring students as they begin and build their wedding planning careers.
