Our Story

Held & Handled Co. was built from real experience — not just planning weddings, but living through the pressure of making one come together.

We understand what it takes to create a beautiful, meaningful wedding while staying on budget — and more importantly, what it takes to make sure the day actually runs smoothly.

Kenza Moore

Founder & Lead Wedding Planner and Coordinator

With more than three years of experience in events and weddings, I know what it takes to keep a celebration organized, beautiful, and running smoothly. My background with a large event company gave me hands-on experience managing timelines, vendors, logistics, setup, and behind-the-scenes details.

I also understand personally how stressful wedding planning can be. When I planned my own wedding, I wanted a gorgeous celebration without putting us under financial pressure. Through thoughtful planning, creativity, and strong vendor relationships, I created my own beautiful wedding for under $10,000—without sacrificing the details that made it special.

Since then, I’ve helped couples throughout Georgia and Florida enjoy their wedding days without worrying about vendor questions, timing, setup, or last-minute problems. I’m organized, calm under pressure, and confident stepping in whenever something needs to be handled.

I created Held & Handled Co. so you can be fully present, enjoy every moment, and trust that your wedding is in capable hands.

Sydney Connell

Wedding Coordinator

My experience in education, photography, catering, and weddings has taught me how to work well with people, stay organized, and calmly manage many moving parts at once.

Planning my own wedding is where I first fell in love with coordination, and working as a photographer made that love grow even more. I enjoy the meaningful details, the emotions, and being behind the scenes to help everything come together. My favorite moment is right before the ceremony—when all the planning becomes real and the couple is about to begin one of the most important moments of their lives.

I’m organized, calm under pressure, people-focused, and always prepared for whatever the day may bring.

Outside of weddings, I’m a mom, photographer, college student, creative at heart, and devoted list-maker. I also love fall and traveling whenever I get the opportunity!
