Meet the Owner & Founder
Welcome to XO Events & Design!
My name is Kimberlin Richardson, and after nearly 8 years of creating unforgettable weddings and events for hotels and event centers, I decided it was time to become my own boss.
Based in the beautiful Quad Cities area of Iowa, I am ready to travel anywhere to bring your vision to life. With XO Events & Design, every detail is handled with care, ensuring a stress-free experience for you!
With a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, I hold several certifications in event planning, including the International Event and Wedding Planning (IEWP) certification, the Master Wedding Event Planning and Design certification through the Wedding MBA of Las Vegas, and the Marriott Certified Event Planner certification. These credentials reflect my commitment to excellence and my comprehensive knowledge in planning and designing exceptional events, ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly.
Now, lets get to the real me!
100%—I’m all about the chaos of weddings! Honestly, the best part is being right there with my couples through every single step of the process. The good, the bad, the bridesmaids getting kicked out (yep, I’ve seen it all)—bring it on! I love the real, the glammed-up, the messy bits, and honestly, watching everything fall into place for that one magical moment That’s the stuff that makes it all worth it!
If you think we could relate, love Cats, White Claws, and even more Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, XO Events will be great fit for you!
