Hi There!

My name is Sophie Krauel. I am the owner and lead wedding planner of Above and Beyond Events and am based out of Spokane, Washington. I grew up on the Central Coast in California and moved up to Spokane to attend Gonzaga University and play D1 tennis. I met my husband, Jack at Gonzaga and we live in Spokane with our golden retriever, Ella. I am calm, patient, and have the ability to get things done work ethic. My goal is to exceed my clients expectations by going Above and Beyond. As a former professional tennis player who organized and planned all of my travels across the world, I know how to figure it out. My passion and dedication to care for people will allow you to relax during your event and enjoy the day. Let's get to planning!

We cannot express how grateful we were to have had Sophie as our wedding coordinator. She was an absolute lifesaver on our special day, and her expertise and dedication made our wedding unforgettable, despite some unexpected rainy weather challenges. She seamlessly adapted to the circumstances, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly. One of the many great qualities that stood out about Sophie was her willingness to communicate and ask questions. She wanted to make sure our day was taken care of exactly how we envisioned it. Her experience and knowledge of wedding logistics was evident as she effortlessly guided us through the entire process. (And we had a massive wedding party!) Throughout the day, Sophie was a calming presence, providing reassurance and support to both us and our guests. She coordinated with all the vendors flawlessly, making sure everyone was on the same page with our timeline. We were able to fully enjoy our day, knowing that Sophie had everything under control. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we hoped for. Thank you, Sophie, for being the MVP of our wedding day and for making it a day we will cherish forever!
