Leigh Barker, Planner & Coordinator
Leigh ventured into the wedding business in 2000 when she was asked to photograph a wedding. Her love for photography and creativity only grew from there as she began to photograph several weddings a year. The experience and contacts she gained from photographing weddings began to plant a seed in her heart for event planning. In 2004, Leigh coordinated her first wedding and after a few years decided that she would like to take it on as a career in the future. She currently works for A Delightful Day as a Planner & Coordinator, managing many of our Month of Coordination client events.

Kelly Stack, Planner and Coordinator
After almost two decades of throwing elaborate theme parties for her every birthday, Kelly got the wake-up call to pursue event planning as a career!

Kerren Barker, Event Assistant
While design has always been a part of Kerren’s life, event planning first became of interest to her while she was planning her own wedding. Her formal art training has taught her to look for design and balance constantly, while her composure under pressure allows her think on her toes in hectic situations. Her eye for detail and calm personae are definitely assets in the world of event planning. She assists A Delightful Day part time at events.
