Her attention to detail and her freely given advice of how to do some of the decorations she puts together is what makes Kenzie so amazing. Plus she has the biggest abundance mindset, which in other words, is seeing others as teammates rather than competition. Take a look at her Instagram to see for yourself what kind of beauty she puts together....and how cute her 1 year old daughter is! @kenziesevents And her website too! kenziesevents.com
