What clients and communities working with KFL are saying

Kelly is a dynamic go-getter who is fun to work with in addition to being ALL BUSINESS. She served on Roslindale Village Main Street's (RVMS) Marketing Committee and helped uplift and manage events and other marketing initiatives to promote our community and neighborhood. She's also politically savvy and easy to bounce ideas off of -- I truly enjoyed working with her!

Kelly planned a milestone birthday party for me and I could not have been more happy with the result. I was so pleased with the attention to detail, work ethic, responsiveness, and all around good humor. She knew what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Our guests are still talking about it months later.

I’ve been to multiple events coordinated by Kelly, both as an attendee and as a volunteer. She is extremely organized and volunteering for her at events was fun and rewarding. As an attendee, I have always had a fabulous time and leave extremely impressed. I would recommend Kelly in a heart beat.
