Conversations with Kimmylea Konsel-Taylor

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimmylea Konsel-Taylor.

Hi Kimmylea, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
How It All Got Started

After graduating high school, Kimmylea entered the real estate industry and began working with a new home builder. But when the company eventually went bankrupt, her journey took an unexpected turn — one that would lead to something extraordinary.

Recognizing her professionalism and work ethic, several mortgage lenders encouraged her to join First National Bank. She was placed in the Marketing Department, where she quickly rose through the ranks, managing major events across the United States. Her reputation for delivering exceptional experiences caught the attention of the bank’s president, who entrusted her with planning his wedding in Arizona.

That event would change everything.

After witnessing Kimmylea’s impeccable attention to detail and creative flair, the president encouraged her to pursue her true passion. With his blessing, she began building her own company while continuing her work at the bank. In 2007, LimeLight Expressions was born — founded on a vision to help people create unforgettable experiences, beautifully designed and flawlessly executed.

From the beginning, LimeLight Expressions stood out for its commitment to excellence: high-end design, concierge-level service, and a warm, family-style approach that made every client feel seen and celebrated. That commitment sparked rapid growth, driven almost entirely by word of mouth. What began as a local venture in Nebraska quickly evolved into a globally recognized brand, known for its luxury events and personalized touch that puts every client in the LimeLight.

Whether it’s a multimillion-dollar international production or a meaningful local celebration, LimeLight Expressions brings the same passion, precision, and personalized service to every event. The team expertly guides clients through every step — from concept to execution — transforming what can often feel overwhelming into a process filled with excitement, creativity, and ease.

As a family-owned and operated company, LimeLight Expressions has earned over 25 industry awards and built a reputation that extends far beyond Nebraska. Their work has been featured in top national and international publications, including USA Today, Conde Nast Traveler, New York Weekly, LA Weekly, Inside Weddings Magazine, The Knot, Omaha Magazine, and many more.

Today, LimeLight Expressions continues to set the standard for excellence in the world of luxury event planning — one extraordinary moment at a time.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Event planning isn’t always a smooth road — especially when you’re just starting a business. There are inevitable bumps, steep learning curves, and countless new avenues to explore. But that’s the beauty of this industry: you never stop learning.

No matter how many years you’ve been in the business, there’s always something new — new technology, new trends, new destinations, and new ways to elevate the client experience. The moment you think you know it all, you’re reminded just how much more there is to discover.

That’s exactly why having a strong team matters. A team brings fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and different approaches — all of which ultimately benefit the client. Collaboration isn’t just important; it’s essential. It keeps us grounded, inspired, and always evolving.

At LimeLight Expressions, we embrace every challenge as a chance to grow. Because in the end, it’s not just about planning beautiful events — it’s about continuously learning how to serve our clients better, with creativity, care, and heart.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
At LimeLight Expressions, it’s never about us — it’s about our client.

Our mission is simple: to put others before ourselves and to create unforgettable experiences during life’s most meaningful moments. Whether it’s a wedding, milestone celebration, or corporate event, we believe in crafting unique, stress-free experiences that allow our clients to be fully present — to feel the moment, not just attend it.

We specialize in putting our clients in the LimeLight, without ever seeking the spotlight ourselves. Every detail, every design, and every decision is made with your story in mind because this moment is about them, not us.

As a family-owned and operated business, we bring warmth, trust, and a personal touch to every event. We understand how overwhelming planning can feel, which is why we’re known not only for our exceptional service and creativity but for making people feel at ease during some of the most exciting (and sometimes stressful) times in their lives.

What truly sets us apart is the attention we give to each client. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all, we believe in listening, understanding, and delivering experiences that are as unique as the people we serve. That’s why so much of our business comes from referrals and word of mouth — a true testament to the relationships we’ve built over the years.

At LimeLight Expressions, we’re not just planning events. We’re celebrating lives, creating memories, and putting your story center stage.

How do you define success?
At LimeLight Expressions, success isn’t measured by how well our business performs — it’s measured by the lives we touch.

To us, success means making a meaningful impact on every person we encounter. It’s about being a source of light in what can sometimes feel like a dark or overwhelming world. Through kindness, empathy, and creativity, we strive to bring joy, peace, and positivity into the lives of our clients.

We believe that the true heart of our work lies in the relationships we build — not just the events we produce. From the first consultation to the final send-off, we walk alongside our clients, ensuring they feel seen, supported, and celebrated every step of the way.

By planning, designing, and producing unforgettable events with intention and care, we aim to be more than just event planners — we aim to be a light in your life, making every moment feel meaningful and every experience truly extraordinary.
