Cristin Meehan at Kennedy Weddings was an absolute godsend!! My husband and I live overseas and I knew that it was important for us to have a wedding planner despite the venue offering a site coordinator to assist us. My husband actually was skeptical of hiring a planner but after we met with Cristin he completely changed his views. I had no idea where to even start with the planning process as I had never thought of anything wedding related in my life in terms of colors, themes, decor, invitations, food...nothing!! Cristin helped us take each step one at a time to make the wedding 100% a reflection of us while she managed the execution, and the execution was flawless! As we live in Dubai, time differences were always a challenge but Cristin was always available to us by phone, Skype, text, and email. Everything was done remotely and we only met Cristin in person about 6 weeks before the wedding. I never had to chase her on anything she was always on top of everything. The weekend itself was magical. To be honest I was a bit bored at times the morning of the wedding because I had nothing to do! Everything was looked after by Cristin and her team. Because of Cristin I was totally relaxed and actually enjoyed every minute of the wedding. We had a bit of a issue with my dress being too long for our first dance where we went to Cristin with "a solution, please!!" and she and her assistant B came up with one that saved the day. All of the vendors we hired were referred to us by Cristin. I didn't research any of them as I figured they all must be ok given that she had worked with them before. All the vendors exceeded our expectations and we wouldn't change a thing. I'm a bit sad the wedding is over now as I will miss Cristin! I think that says a lot.
