Welcome to Knot Your Average Events, where we bring over 24 years of expertise in the dynamic world of event planning.
As a seasoned master wedding planner, Jenn Ball has orchestrated countless events across the Carolinas and Caribbean, specializing in both local and destination weddings, as well as crafting unforgettable honeymoon travel experiences.
Jenn: “My journey in the event industry began in late 90’s: planning corporate events and special promotions. However, it was the past 20 years that saw a dedicated focus on creating magical weddings. With a portfolio boasting nearly 400 solo weddings, along with collaborative efforts as an assistant or additional staff member with various event companies, I have honed my skills to (can I say it?) phenomenal and magical.”
The inspiration behind Knot Your Average Events stems from a personal experience. My own wedding, orchestrated by my mom and her best friend, taught me the importance of specialized coordination. Their attempt to play multiple roles led to missed moments during my first dance and cake cutting. This pivotal experience ignited a vow to ensure no other mother misses those cherished moments on their daughter’s special day.
We pride ourselves on crafting unique, memorable experiences by infusing personal touches and meticulously attending to every detail. Our expertise includes intimate gatherings of 23 guests to grand celebrations exceeding 1,200 attendees. We’ve traversed both near and far, managing every aspect from the declaration of “I DO” to the triumphant “I DID!”
Our commitment is clear: we go beyond just tying the knot; we tie up all your loose ends. If you want your event to stand out, allow us the privilege of weaving a tapestry of memories that will have people talking for years to come. At Knot Your Average Events, we transform your vision into a reality, ensuring your special day is nothing short of extraordinary.

- Jenn and Blair did a wonderful job for my stepson's wedding in Antiqua. The ceremony was beautiful. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jenn and Blair. I highly recommend them.

You will not be disappointed if you choose Knot Your Average Events as your wedding planner,read moreread lessCathy O.8/30/2024
- KYAE has helped us plan mutiple AMAZING trips to Sandals Montego Bay. Our Retie The Knot ceremony for our 10th Anniversary was beautiful and more than we could have imagined. Jenn thinks of everything and anticipates what we've needed before we even know to ask for it. We look forward to many more trips. We already have two more booked and know we are in the right hands to handle everything!read moreread lessKelli J.12/17/2022
- Let me start off by saying, we were skeptical that we needed a wedding planner for the day of. We thought “oh we can do this”. Let me tell you, no no we could not have done it. Jenn is a professional through and through. She made our day incredible. She made everything perfect. While she is amazing, her team is just as amazing. They all work so well together and they make it so you are the priority and that you are having the best day. All of our guests had the best time. All of our guests asked for Jenns card, her information or just complimented about how amazing she was. She was not afraid to have conversations with the rowdy guests (we had a few )and kept them in line so I didn’t even know about anything until the day was over. I would recommend her over and over again. I am hopeful that I will get to be a part of another wedding that she is planning. She was so good my sister in law already promised me that she would hire Jenn if they decide to have a vow renewal. Don’t second guess yourself about booking Jenn, you will not regret it, your day will be magical and you won’t feel any bumps! It will make the day less stressful. Thank you Jenn and your teamread moreread lessMorgan V.12/17/2022
- When friends of mine start planning their wedding, Jennifer and the KYAE team are the first recommendation I give them. While planning our wedding, we had no idea what a day of coordinator was, but when being referred to KYAE, we quickly understood the value and help that Jennifer would provide in coordination, cleanup, prep, and scheduling. Our wedding day was seamless with the KYAE team taking the reigns on all the small details we would of quickly looked over. Mine, and my husband’s parents, were able to be a part of the celebrations rather that dealing with clean up, or stress that a wedding can bring. When the ceremony and reception was over, my parent’s car was packed up in the blink of an eye. We didn’t have to lift a finger! 6 years later, our parents still talk about how much a gift it was hiring Jennifer and her team to make the day unforgettable and stress free for everyone. I have been a part of many weddings where a coordinator was not hired, and the amount of moments the bridal party’s family missed due to setup/tear down, or stress put on bridesmaids and groomsmen absolutely breaks my heart. The KYAE team is an absolute MUST for your big day. Communication and attention to detail are just a few of the reasons we love Jennifer! We will continue to sing KYAE’s praises!read moreread lessKelsey O.12/17/2022
- I'm not sure where to begin...I wanted to plan an amazing 40th birthday trip this year. I reached out to Jen and gave her my ideas and she went from there! She was so helpful with finding a resort all while making sure I stayed within budget. She kept communication open during the whole process. She pays attention to details and even created a suggested itinerary so I wouldn't be too overwhelmed! Thank you KYAE, see you for birthday 41!read moreread lessC L.12/17/2022

From Zoom meetings to go over the priviate cocktail hour & private fancy dinner for our group to late phone calls about our trip...Jennifer was always there to help! Once there, everything ran smoothly & if we needed anything she was on tip of it to assist us. I also must say the bag with the checklist & goodies was SO EXCITING to receive!

- Jenn and her team planned and designed our 12/4/2021 wedding. Let me start by saying that I had an idea of what I wanted my dream day to be but had difficulty articulating it. I knew the feel I wanted, but I had no idea where to even begin to create it. Then we found Jenn! She was able to take my feel and turn it into my dream! Jenn and her team created something you see in the movies. They went above and beyond. Jenn truly wanted my big day to be special and cared about it as it were her own. I cannot thank Knot Your Average Events enough for making our wedding day nothing short of perfect! Her expertise, creativity, and detail are well beyond expectation. Jenn, as a person is also just an amazing woman to work with! I will forever be singing their praise! Did I mention Jenn made it snow at our wedding?!read moreread lessAudrey R.1/12/2022

They helped make our wedding more perfect than I could have ever imagined. I would 100x over recommend them to help with your day!

- I met Jennifer at a Bridal showcase and instantly loved her energy. I had gone to this showcase looking for things other than a planner did not think I would hire an event planner. She started talking to us about how we could feel like guests at our own wedding and the thought sounded nice, especially after all the planning that was coming our way. Long story short, we decided to hire Knot Your Average Events and could not be happier with that decision. We were married on 8/21/21 and people have asked me since what the best investment was, and I could not mean it more than when I say Jennifer and her team at KYAE. Leading up to the wedding she was always easy to reach if I had questions and went on an on-site visit with me to look at the venue. This was helpful because she asked all the questions I had never thought to ask which saved me down the road with planning. The day of the wedding is where Jennifer and her team really went above and beyond. They took all my boxes of decorations and ideas and turned them into the most beautifully decorated venue while I relaxed and drank mimosas with my bridesmaids. They were flawless when it started raining outside (it was an outdoor wedding) and stuck with me as I decided to push the ceremony back a little to wait out the rain. They kept the guests happy while waiting and didn’t miss a beat when the rain stopped to dry off the chairs and help me to have the wedding I had been dreaming of. I could go on and on about Jennifer and the amazing staff she brought to my wedding but the bottom line is she delivered on her promise. I did not have to stress about anything on my wedding day and was able to enjoy every moment to the fullest. I even had a surprise at the end of the night as they had taken left over food and wine to my husband’s and my cabin and decorated it with flowers and tea lights. I was constantly surprised by the thought and care they put into my day and recommend them as much as I possibly can.read moreread lessShannon M.9/05/2021
- I dont know where to begin!! My husband, Jay, worked with Jenn to plan a surprise trip for me! It was nothing short of amazing! She also helped me plan a vow renewal while we were there for our anniversary! She took care of every detail and then some! It was the best vacation we had ever been on! So much that we are going back the next 2 years. Let her plan your trip. She knows all the best restaurants, the best rooms! She'll even have your fridge stocked with all your favorite beverages. Words can't give Jenn enough credit! She loves what she does and she will far exceed your expectations. She loves her clients and wants to help them make memories of a life time.read moreread lessChristie .2/02/2021

Jennifer Ball with KYAE is PERFECT. She is absolutely PERFECT. The BEST wedding planner. Her prices were definitely nothing compared to how much she is worth, and how much she deserves for all she does. She is not only the best of the best, not just by me but with a highly coveted reputation among all vendors in the area. She is not just a wedding planner, but she feels like a friend. She is also a certified Sandals Honeymoon consultant, which just adds a bonus for those looking for a Sandals honeymoon.
Jenn is just stunning, both inside and out. She is a genius in the world of wedding planning. She is smart. She is sharp. She is professional. She worked our wedding in the most confident and calm fashion. She runs a tight ship and makes sure everything comes together without a hiccup. Nothing is perfect, and despite any hiccup, she made it into something beautiful and intentional. So many calls, texts, and emails where she calmed me, guided me, supported me, and made me feel like the most important person in the world. She has a way of lighting up the room, and making everything she touches amazing. She is such a bright presence, and she is fun and has the best perspective on life, and never fails to show confidence and positivity. She is brilliant, beautiful, talented, patient, professional, and so many more things. I absolutely love her and feel beyond honored and blessed to have had her plan my wedding. Her crew that assists her is on point as well, and they never skip a beat to follow suite with Jenn. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend KYAE as your wedding planner. I was at first skeptical of getting a wedding planner because of its cost, but her prices are the most reasonable out there, and being at a wedding without a planner, then realizing how perfect mine was, as well as things Jenn thought of for me, and how stress-free my planning was, Jenn is the way to go! Meet with her and you will know.

“I just want to say that if you want to have the wedding of your lifetime, then you NEED Jennifer Ball! She helped plan my wedding a few years back -- she took care of details that I did not know were important at the time. Through the process we became good friends and still talk to this day! Jennifer is great at what she does and is always striving to make you have the Fairy Tale wedding you always dreamed about with the extra special additives."
