We hired Krystal as a partial planner which could not have been a better fit for our situation. Her expertise, guidance, and knowledge of the Emerald Isle area is priceless. Whatever she charges, it's worth it.

Where Krystal shines is the day of your event. She is so organized and calm (while also spunky and fun) you truly feel like your special day is in the best hands. We were fortunate to have Jessica and Cindy part of the planning team for our day and they are just as much rockstars as Krystal.

This woman birthed a child during our planning process and didn't even miss a beat.

Her strengths: communication, recommendations, organization, execution, rolling with the punches

Her weaknesses: kryptonite

Hiring Krystal as our wedding planner & coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We hired Krystal for our October wedding in Beaufort. We selected her partial-planning package as I enjoyed being a part of the planning and design of our wedding. Krystal was able to recommend vendors during the planning process and we loved working with the vendor that she recommended. Throughout the planning process, Krystal answered email questions promptly and was available for phones to discuss information in more detail. She was a calming presence during the planning process and relieved any stress that came up.
My fiancé and I had a specific vision for our wedding and how we wanted to transform the Watercraft Center, from a boat building facility into a beautiful wedding venue. On the day of our wedding, Krystal executed our vision flawlessly. As a designer, it can be challenging to hand over your designs for final execution, but I was 100% confident that Krystal and her assistance could carry out our design plan. Krystal setup the Watercraft center for our ceremony and then flipped the space for the reception during cocktail hour. The décor and overall design was exactly how we envisioned. The wedding day ran so smoothly with Krystal coordinating the timeline and flow of events. I would highly recommend Krystal and her wedding planning and coordinating services.

Krystal is amazing!! We were planning a destination wedding and so we were planning from out of state. From our initial inquiry about Emerald Isle weddings, Krystal was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don't think my husband and I knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into, but we had this vision of what we wanted. Krystal took our vision and went above and beyond what we ever could've imagined. She provided a list of great vendors for us to choose from, which took so much stress off of us during our planning months. She was in constant communication with us during our months leading up to the wedding and answered all of our questions along the way. On the day of our wedding, she was a rockstar did it all. There were some little things I forgot and overlooked and Krystal just took care of it and made it all work and come together in the best way possible. Leading up to the wedding, Krystal made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with and that her sole attention was on me and my wedding. She is extremely knowledgeable and talented in her profession and deserves high recognition for it. If it wasn't for Krystal, our wedding wouldn't have been able to happen the way it did. It was an unbelievable day and we have Krystal to thank for that!

From the initial planning, a Seaside Wedding and Events was an integral part of the success of our wedding. Krystal has the experience, knowledge, and vendor contacts that really made the difference. The demands on our time were minimal, the vendors were all professional and friendly, and the results were outstanding. A Seaside Wedding and Events arranged everything that we needed, and helped us have the perfect wedding even when the weather forced us inside at the last minute. No stress setup and removal, beautiful flowers and photos, they handled it all. We whole heartedly appreciate the work Krystal and her team did for us, and highly recommend her and A Seaside Wedding and Events to any couple wanting to have a beach wedding.

I'm so glad I had such great help with planning my wedding! When I first started, I felt overwhelmed but Krystal immediately put me at ease! She was responsive, professional, friendly, and always gave me great suggestions on vendors and more. Our wedding day was beautiful and I'm so happy I had the entire A Seaside Wedding & Events help make all of our dreams become a reality our wedding day. I couldn't recommend them more!

When we decided to have our wedding on the beach, I was overwhelmed with the process of setting up an event far from home and with little knowledge of the area. When I found Krystal and A Seaside Wedding and Events, all of that changed! What had been a daunting process became effortless and fun. Krystal's organization and planning, as well as her awesome vendor connections, allowed me to focus on the small and meaningful things that made our ceremony uniquely us. When we had to change the original date due to COVID, she handled that process without missing a beat. Her confidence in making the arrangements removed any trace of stress. I can't fail to mention the wedding day...Krystal corralled our college, high school, and middle school bridesmaids, handled our independent flower girls, and created the most beautiful beach wedding scene ever. We are both beyond grateful for her awesome work and would recommend her to everyone planning an event in the area.

I cannot express how grateful I am for Krystal. From the first meeting to the big day, she was on it. I was so overwhelmed before she was recommended by a friend, and she made all the little details seem effortless. Our whole family was able to relax and enjoy the day. Even when my groom realized the day of that he had no way to attach his suspenders to his pants.... she made it happen. She has a natural talent for planning events and a great eye for decorations. She made the entire process significantly less stressful. I’ll never be able to fully repay her for making the best day of our lives so memorable and effortless. She is easy-going and listens openly. She communicated with the vendors for me, making my responsibilities simple and my to-do list MUCH shorter. Nothing felt chaotic or rushed or problematic– and that is ONLY because she was there. She respected all of our wishes for our wedding style and made them into a reality. I truly cannot sing her praises enough. Krystal is the absolute best.

Absolutely 100% professional, timely, extremely helpful, and has able to adapt quickly with any kind of crisis (weather, ripped dress, anything). Krystal was absolutely awesome helping with details during the planning process to executing a flawless event. Our wedding was supposed to be outside but Mother Nature had another plan. Within 5 mins Krystal had the inside of the Islander ready to go and guest seated. There is no way any family member or friend could have made it happen as flawless and easy as Krystal did! If you are planning any type of event you must hire Krystal she is a game change and a life saver!

We do not know how we can ever thank Krystal enough for all she did to help us through this entire wedding process. In reading this review, you will see that the Wedding Planner you choose can make or break your wedding and we are so glad to have found Krystal.
When we started planning our beach wedding, our first thoughts were that we would research locations and once we decided on a location, we would travel down there to find the various vendors for our wedding. We are so very glad we didn’t go down that path.
While searching online for beach locations in NC, we came across Seaside Wedding & Events in Emerald Isle. We decided it made sense to at least call and maybe get a little advice on the area having never been there before. Our first conversation with Krystal was great and made us realize that it would be worth having her help us with our planning. She helped us find the perfect beach house for us to get married with our toes in the sand and then have a party back in the house.
When we travelled to Emerald Isle in January to meet her, she had arranged Cake tastings with us, a meeting with a pastor, and when we attended the Bridal Expo, had already told a photographer and caterer about us and took us to see the beach house. We had many conversations with Krystal over the months leading up to the wedding and after each phone call and email, we continued to be very happy that we had chosen her.
If you are planning a wedding, you know that it can be very stressful at times trying to get everything together along with all of the other things that occur daily. Having someone in your corner to help make things successful, is totally worth having especially when planning one of the happiest days in your life.
In my line of work, there are a few sayings / ways of doing things that help us to be successful. The first and second, “We Don’t Plan to Fail, We Just Fail to Plan” and ‘Being Flexible” always help us to be ready for what may occur and the last is “Don’t just come to me with a problem and drop it on my desk, but instead tell me the problem and the proposed solution”. A month before the we learned the importance of these 3 things.
Krystal called to let us know that the beach house we were to be married at was not going to be fully repaired in time due to Hurricane Florence the previous year. The owners were working on getting it ready but things were not going well. She could have just let us known that and then said that we will see what we can do for a plan b, but instead said that she found us a solution she thought was even better. The house she found for us wasn’t in the inventory of Emerald Isle Realty. She called the other realty company spoke to them about the house and as the house was not an ‘Event House’, was able to convince the owner to let us have our wedding there. Then she worked with the other realty company to make the transition as painless as possible. We don’t know how she did it, but she found a property even better than the one we had originally chosen!
All of Krystal’s hard work paid off and our wedding was amazing. Her advice and guidance through it all helped ease the stress and everything she did the day of the wedding helped to make it a wonderful time.
If you are planning a wedding on or near the Crystal Coast, be sure to talk to Krystal!

The whole process of planning to execution of our ceremony was so easy with their help!
