Let's get started
KR Occasions is where professionalism meets personality — a high-touch, heart-led planning experience built for couples who value time, trust, and a celebration that feels beautifully intentional from start to finish.
Hi — I’m Kayce, founder and lead planner behind KR Occasions, a Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding planning company specializing in full-service wedding planning and wedding weekend experiences.
I started KR Occasions in 2013 after working across the wedding industry in bridal boutiques, venues, and catering, where I learned firsthand how weddings truly come together behind the scenes. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to turn a vision into a seamless celebration. My mission is simple: to make sure my clients can be incredible hosts while still getting to be guests at their own wedding.
I'm Kayce, and I'm so glad you're here!
Whether that means solving last-minute logistics, managing vendors, or literally moving 75 chairs uphill in heels (yes, really!), I’m all in. Think of me as your behind-the-scenes advocate—the one making sure everything goes to plan, even when things don’t.
“Hiring Kayce was the best decision. She allowed us to celebrate and be present while she handled it all for us.”
“She was a calm presence, putting out a few fires behind the scenes (without us even knowing there were any issues).”
“The way Kayce goes above and beyond is absolutely invaluable — we consider ourselves so lucky to have had her in our corner.”
My clients are thoughtful, busy people who know what they want but don’t have the time to manage every detail. They often come to me with a unique venue, a creative vision, and a strong desire to do things their way — not just follow tradition. I love that. With full-service planning, I take your ideas and elevate them with structure, strategy, and seamless execution.
I bring warmth, professionalism, and a little bit of fun to the planning process. We’ll stay organized, stick to your vision, and definitely laugh along the way. You bring the love story—I’ll bring the spreadsheets (and the Plan B, just in case).
ready to actually enjoy your wedding weekend?

LET'S CHAT!
When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find me making memories with my two kids, exploring national parks, listening to wedding podcasts with a cup of tea, or relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.
Our Team
Jennifer supports KR Occasions as our social media manager and wedding day assistant. While she’s new to the event industry professionally, she has always had a passion for planning meaningful celebrations.
She manages KR Occasions’ social media and assists with planning, vendor communication, and wedding day coordination to help everything run smoothly.
Her favorite moment at any wedding is the groom’s reaction when he sees his bride walking down the aisle—the kind of magic that inspires everything she does.
Emily independently runs weddings from start to finish. She and Kayce have known each other since high school, growing up in a small town where community, connection, and celebrating together were second nature.
With a lifelong love of hosting and an eye for the details that make events special, Emily brings calm leadership and thoughtful execution to every wedding day.
When she’s not coordinating vendors and timelines, she’s usually chasing after her two boys—and on a wedding day she especially loves the emotional first look and a packed dance floor later in the night.
After years of pursuing her passion for baking and pastry, Cassidy found her way into the wedding industry five years ago. She brings hands-on experience from every angle—from bartending to event management—and has helped guide weddings from concept through execution.
She thrives in the fast-paced energy of a wedding day and loves seeing each couple’s vision come to life. Her calm presence and adaptability make her an invaluable part of the KR Occasions team—alongside her life as a mom to two girls.
Lauren & andrew
“Kayce was our wedding weekend hero! She truly went above and beyond. When we had a family health emergency at our welcome party, she handled everything with grace while making sure our guests were cared for. She guided us on how to restart the party and kept everything running smoothly. At our wedding, when our venue didn’t prepare enough food, Kayce quickly handled getting more locally to feed our guests. She even drove guests home when buses fell through. We were able to celebrate and be fully present while she handled everything behind the scenes. Hiring Kayce was the best decision!”
"Our Wedding Weekend Hero"
MAGGIE & SARINA
Kayce was the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey. She helped keep us on task and guided our planning with logistics we never would have thought of. She was familiar with our venue and vendors and made the whole process feel manageable. As a queer couple, we also appreciated how safe and supported she made us feel. On the wedding day we were able to truly enjoy ourselves and not worry about any of the little things
"We Could Actually Enjoy Our Wedding Day”
BASIA & ERIC
Kayce is incredibly organized and knowledgeable about the industry. She consistently went above and beyond, even visiting our venue multiple times in advance. On the wedding day we didn’t worry about any logistics—everything ran smoothly and looked beautiful. She was a calm presence putting out fires behind the scenes without us even knowing.
