So Glad You’re Here
A little about me and the heart behind The Collective Co.
Meet Kiley
Founder, Florida Wedding & Event Planner
It all started on my golden birthday, when I decided a cake alone simply wouldn’t do. Instead, I hired catering, booked a DJ, and transformed my parents’ backyard into a full-on party. I didn’t know it then, but that was the moment I fell in love with dreaming up experiences, organizing every detail, and bringing people together in ways that felt joyful and meaningful.
That early spark followed me to college, where I studied business management and event planning—learning how to balance creativity with logistics, and big ideas with thoughtful execution. After graduating, I stepped into the world of live events, working behind the scenes at concerts, festivals, and golf tournaments. There, I learned how to keep things running smoothly in fast-paced, high-energy environments—with grace, precision, and a steady calm.
Before long, friends and family began asking me to help plan weddings, showers, and special celebrations of their own. What began as something I loved doing for the people closest to me slowly grew into a deeper calling—one rooted in care, connection, and creating moments people would remember forever.
I call the beautiful coast of 30A home, and I am happy to meet you wherever your dreams may take us.
From Recent Bride to Planner
After planning and celebrating my own Emerald Coast wedding in April 2026, I gained a whole new appreciation for the wedding planning experience. I know the excitement of finding the perfect venue, the countless decisions that fill your to-do list, and the emotions that come with seeing it all come together. Having recently stood where my couples stand today allows me to bring not only professional expertise, but also genuine understanding and support throughout the planning process.
