Taylor Paige
OWNER & LEAD PLANNER
As a lover of all the pretty things + logistics and efficiency, Taylor Paige felt conflicted in how to combine her skills into one single passion. With a degree in mathematics and professional background in project management and process improvement, she never imagined she would succeed beyond spreadsheets and cubicle life. That was until she planned her own wedding in 2018 and realized how incredibly valuable her skills were to the wedding world...and what is often missing from traditional wedding designers - the logicistics! Taylor Paige is an enneagram 3w2 through and through (PS - google what the top careers are for this type and you'll see Wedding Planner at the top!) She is the ultimate project manager and problem solver - combined with an eye of design, caretaker spirit, and a charisma that will make you feel like she's your best friend within the first 10 minutes of meeting!
She lives in Kansas City with her husband, Donald, and their 2 pups - a one-eyed mini Yorkie named Preslee and a Great Dane named Guinness (a crazy mix but the best of both worlds!). She is a lover of costume parties, Taylor Swift, and Messenger Coffee's salmon toast. In the 2022 wedding season, she battled through cancer treatment and is currently in remission, now dedicated to living LOUD!
MEET THE BABES BEHIND TPT
Heather
LEAD PLANNER
You'll never see Heather without the biggest smile on her face - one of the many reasons we love her!
Heather is a native to Chicago - and is where she first started out in her wedding career. Two weeks after getting married in 2021, she and her husband made the move to KC to establish their own roots. When she was on the hunt for a new planning company, she quickly felt like family with TPTKC!
Heather spends her weekdays as a 3rd grade teacher. She loves the color pink, is a self-proclaimed Disney fanatic, and your go-to girl for all things whimsy and fun! Planning a bounce house at a wedding? Heather wants an invite!! If she's in the driver's seat, be prepared for her to belting out Christmas music all year round! And if you are trying to surprise her with a good time, she would love dinner by the beach at sunset with some ice cream afterwards.
Her fave part of wedding days? Making you happy - which she'll go to the ends of the Earth to do. If you're looking for the most contagious upbeat & positive spirit, this is your girl!
Paxton
LEAD COORDINATOR
If you need the ultimate personal hype girl, Lead Coordinator Paxton is who you’re looking for! She has worn several hats in the KC wedding world - as a venue manager, freelance assistant coordinator, social media manager - and now, Lead Coordinator for TPTKC!
Her fave part of wedding days? All the First Looks - HANDS DOWN! She loves witnessing the raw & genuine emotion of intimate moments - whether between the couple, with a parent, or your pup.
Outside of weddings, you’ll find her at the gym lifting all the heavy things, having girls nights, spending time with family, or dancing the night away at a country music concert. And if you ever play "Kerosene" by Miranda Lambert, get ready for a karaoke performance!
On your wedding day, she'll just feel like an extra bestie in your wedding party...she fits right in! Long story short - EVERYBODY LOVES PAX!
Ali
LEAD COORDINATOR
Looking for a girl to always go the extra mile for you? Welp, YOU FOUND HER! No - genuinely - Ali is the epitome of the ultimate team player making sure everyone succeeds, putting her all into every single moment, and paying attention to even the tiniest of details to ensure your vision is executed perfectly.
Ali’s favorite moment on wedding days? Witnessing the pure magic when a bride first sees herself fully dressed in the mirror. “That’s when it all becomes real,” Ali says. “You get to watch them soak in the first moments as a bride.” It’s these snapshots of unfiltered joy + realization that make every hectic moment worth it for her.
Ali has been with TPT since 2022, starting as an Assistant Coordinator & Decorator and then promoted to Lead Coordinator for all of her hard work, training, and commitment! She has the magic touch of providing that perfect blend of professional precision and personal care - getting the job done and feeling like your best friend at the same time.
Michelle
LEAD COORDINATOR
Michelle’s wedding career first began in Tennessee. When she moved to KC almost two years ago, she was looking for a new wedding family to join. And man, oh man, is TPT so lucky to have her!! Michelle is known amongst other KC wedding vendors as one of the most friendly people they’ve ever met - she will make everyone feel special - from the venue owner to the teardown crew, from the couple to the ushers. Everyone has an important role to play - and Michelle sees that and cherishes that!
One fun fact about Michelle - she loves to travel!! As of 2024, she will officially have visited ALL 50 US States! She has also travelled overseas, touring as a professional singer to SEVENTEEN countries!! Our team describes Michelle as an organized leader, fiercely loyal, full of joy, often found dancing on the side of the dance floor, the friend you want on your side (on and off wedding day), and a "get things done" girly. A fellow vendor recently said: “Michelle was AMAZING! Many times, I never see the planner or they don’t make an exerted effort to meet all of their vendors and ask how they can help but Michelle did the opposite! It made me feel great and I loved getting to meet the planner behind the emails! Wish we could replicate you all for every wedding planner!!” and a bride: “I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! She made everything seem so easy + seamless from the beginning! Just truly the sweetest and most helpful human ever! I felt like I had one of my best friends with me throughout the whole process and especially on the day of! She did not miss a single thing! I could go on and on and about how great Michelle and the whole TPTKC team was! Truly, the best!”
And PS - if you tell her the dress code to an event is PINK (which it often is in our world!), just know that she’ll be raiding your closet because pink doesn’t really exist in hers - but we love her for it!
Annie
LEAD COORDINATOR
Looking for the girl that has your back no matter what? Annie values loyalty + relationship ABOVE ALL - ensuring that you know that she is on your side + will do anything to protect your wedding day vision! And we love her for it!!
During the week, Annie thrives in her creative side - as a kindergarten art teacher! Rumor has it that her day job helps her practice for wrangling groomsmen on the weekend !
Her favorite part of weddings is what non-wedding planners find overwhelming - all the details!! She loves memorizing every single aspect of a wedding day and when a vendor or family member asks a question, she loves being able to answer right away and be the Lead of the day that everyone can count on! Annie also has such a contagious spirit - a friend to everyone, always finding the bright spot in tough situations. A recent couple she worked with said: "As someone who is extremely type A, being able to relinquish control and live stress-free in each moment was the biggest gift that I could have asked for! Even when small bumps popped up in our planning process and day-of, we trusted Annie to handle it all and she had our best interest at heart the whole way through!" - Annie is the perfect touch for us!
Courtney
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
BUSINESS COORDINATOR
Oh our girl, Courtney - our mega Swiftie, cat mama, Starbucks lover, everybody’s cheerleader…and let’s be honest, everybody’s favorite!! No really...our team voted Courtney as the “All-Around Favorite” for our 2023 season!!
On wedding days, you’ll see Courtney as an Assistant Coordinator and Decorator. But behind the scenes, she is our Business Coordinator working behind-the-scenes to keep our processes running smoothly! She loves weddings because of the organization and planning that leads to an amazing + stress-free outcome for couples. She thrives on ensuring everything she does is completed in a super efficient manner and also LOVES to see people happy - the perfect mix for weddings!
When we asked her for her best piece of wedding advice, she said: “Trust the process, but more importantly, trust your planner (hopefully us!!!!).”
Ann
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
Ann is the matriarch of a big Italian family and will welcome you in with open arms - so we hope you’re ready to be a part of the familia! From day one, we all saw Ann’s passion - for learning the industry, for investing in our couples, for taking care of our vendor team. Whether she’s setting up decor or assisting vendors or families, everyone she comes into contact with on wedding days instantly notes the joy and peace and comfort she brings. A genuine and kind nature with a caretaker’s soul - knowing that hospitality is truly the heart of the wedding industry.
We recently received an email from a DJ and he said: “I just have to commend Ann for not just supporting me as a DJ, but for seeing me as a human. She made sure I was up to date on last minute timeline changes and continued to check in throughout the night, but there was one moment where all she did was come to my booth and set down a glass of water. It was that moment where I felt SEEN and truly taken care of.”
And if that isn’t the epitome of our Ann, I don’t know what is - she loves making people happy (it’s that big mama heart!) and wants to make sure everyone is taken care of!
Brooke
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
Brooke thrives on helping people - that’s easy to tell once you know she is both in the wedding industry and healthcare industry. Fun fact: she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up! According to Brooke, “Everyone deserves to feel supported, validated, and loved unconditionally in all aspects of life. With TPT, I feel like we get to be a small part of making them feel these things on one of their biggest days!”.
​
Trying to surprise Brooke with a Starbucks drink? She’ll take an iced white chocolate mocha! Trying to surprise her with a romantic dinner? She’ll have pasta - anything with Alfredo!
Alaeyah
DECORATOR
When the bar closes down and the music fades, our girl Alaeyah is often the one that comes in to pick up the pieces and organize all the end-of-night logistics! She’s blowing out hundreds of candles, packing up your decor & loading it into your uncle’s truck, jumping in to help your vendors load out, making sure your marriage license and your gifts/cards are in a secure spot, and is the burst of energy we all need to end out a successful day!
​
She is always upbeat and positive - we love her!! One of her team members said: “Alaeyah rocks it every single time!! She is so organized, quick on her feet, and jumps in to help everyone!”
​
As a recent high school graduate, her favorite part of working with TPTKC is having positive female influences as team members & watching them explore their passions. We are so blessed to have Alaeyah on our team - she’s actually one of our team members who have been with us the longest - and are cheering her on as she enters her newest journey of colleg e .
Hannah
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR + DECORATOR
Hannah is the most reliable soul you will ever meet - there is NOTHING that will deter her from keeping a promise, even if she has to go to the ends of the earth for you. And that is one of the million reasons why you’ll want her on your side come your big day!
Her favorite part of the wedding day is after the couple says “I do” and they walk back down the aisle together. She loves being able to see their radiant smiles and the happiness on their faces in front of their closest family and friends. She likens it to the feeling you get when “This Will Be” plays at the end of The Parent Trap. It’s the little moments for her!
Hannah is a huge foodie - always looking for food she has yet to try + making it an adventure! We asked Hannah what 3 things she would bring on a desert island with her and one of them was “some really good chips and salsa to snack on” - a girl after our own hearts, and sure to be one after yours!
Alexa
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
Alexa wishes that more couples had a late night food truck at their wedding…oh, and donuts! And if “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert happens to play, make sure there’s a mic available because that’s her go-to karaoke song!
We are so lucky to have her a part of the TPT Team - she is the ultimate team player and you’ll never hear her say, “that’s not my job.” She just puts her head down and gets to work! She would do almost anything for her couples…except swim with sharks (no, seriously, don’t ask her to do that!).
Her favorite part of working for The Perfect Touch is seeing our couple so in love and joyful! She loves being able to use her skills and apply them to one of the most important days of someone’s lives - all while getting to meet amazing KC vendors, be surrounded by stunning florals, in the most beautiful venues… basically she loves all the gorgeous parts of a wedding come together (which - who doesn’t?).
Emma
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
Oh our sweet, Emma - every couple who Emma works with is so so lucky!! She brings such a fun + joyful spirit to our wedding days, while always having a "can-do" attitude! Even if she isn't 100% sure how to pull it off, you never have to worry about Emma - because she's always going to figure it out, and with a smile on her face!
​
Emma came to us with an extensive background in events - also executing events with a local venue! Vendors love working with her because she's such a team player - always checking in on them and ensuring they know that she's there to help them just as much as the couple or family. We love that Emma sees each individual on a wedding day as an equal part of the pie - and knows that we don't succeed unless everyone does! ​
Lauren
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
Lauren is our checklist girl - a detail-oriented QUEEN who you'll see checking over her notes all day long ensuring that your wedding day decor + vision is exactly how you planned! Executing YOUR vision is her biggest goal!
Lauren has an eager spirit and ALWAYS wants to learn - often times even teaching our team new tricks of the trade + efficiency techniques!
Even with her strong work ethic, she always takes the time to remember that part of wedding days isn't all about checklists and tasks - but also to be a supportive human, which she is STELLAR at! She is often checking in with vendors and family members - they absolutely love her! - and making sure that everyone is comfortable, supported, and enjoying the day. She is the perfect balance on our team!
Abby
ASSISTANT COORDINATOR & DECORATOR
One thing to know about Abby - she firmly believes that Jack could have fit on the door in the Titanic. I mean don’t we all agree?! When she’s not side-eyeing Rose for hogging the whole door, you can find her singing “Strawberry Wine” on karaoke night!
Want to make your way into Abby’s heart? Choreograph a dance with your wedding party and she’ll think you’re the absolute coolest…and might possibly be grooving with you on the sideline.
Her best advice for couples getting married is: “Get a planner! Don’t do it alone and don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want!” (PREACH, ABBY!)
Grace
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
It's rare that you'll see Grace in-person on a wedding day but even though you don't see her, you've for sure felt the impact she has on our team and you may not have even known it! Grace is the master of our social media - creating behind-the-scenes videos, organizing our galleries, and running several of our social media accounts. If you found us from TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook - man are we sure glad Grace connected us!!
