Meet your wedding coordinator
hello my name is kala dreczko
I built Painted Raven Events to reflect the perseverance of all that is good in life. Love always wins, and that love deserves to be celebrated!
I didn’t grow up with champagne toasts or fairy tale moments, but today, I create them.
Painted Raven Events was born not from privilege, but from resilience.
I grew up navigating instability, learning how to organize chaos and create calm long before I ever planned a wedding. I became independent young, later a mother of three daughters, and I’ve built this business with intention, empathy, and heart every step of the way.
Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent nearly a decade working with individuals with special needs, an experience that taught me deep patience, communication, and how to care for people in meaningful ways. I later pursued formal certification through IAP Career College to bring both compassion and professionalism to the work I do.
I don’t see weddings as just events, I see them as legacy moments.
Time is sacred. The people in the room matter. And you deserve someone who understands how much this day truly means.
This business exists for couples who want to feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for. Who want someone they can trust to lead with excellence, not just logistics.
I built Painted Raven Events to design moments that feel personal, intentional, and unforgettable. Because beauty can bloom from even the toughest ground. And your story is worth celebrating well.
As a Connecticut wedding coordinator, I work with couples throughout Connecticut + Rhode Island, helping create seamless wedding days at venues ranging from waterfront estates and historic mansions to elegant tented celebrations.
