About

There's nothing quite like connecting and collaborating with two people who are head over heels in love.

The KE planning experience is comprised of professional expertise + dedication, a twist of friendship, and a sprinkle of grace. As your event manager, I take pride in being the person you trust to take care of every element of your celebration - you deserve to relax and enjoy your wedding day and my mission is to ensure that happens. I can't wait to assist you in condensing the many details that symbolize your relationship into one magical day that you, your partner, and your guests will cherish forever!

My love story with calligraphy design is the purest form of serendipity; I was the girl who wrote notes in cursive in school & decked out my planner with a variety of pretty lettering. My modern calligraphy adventure began when I received a calligraphy pen as a gift, which quickly became my favorite creative release, and then turned into the 2nd branch of KE. I'm self-taught (and forever learning) and love that the art of calligraphy just adds to my belief that the little details - like exquisite lettering - can make the biggest impact.

Event Services available in the Greater Seattle area & Calligraphy Design available internationally.

Beautiful and special invitations

I was so lucky to have been introduced to Krisanna early on in the wedding process. I knew after our first meeting with her that not only could she read my mind, but she was going to become a fast friend. The range of creative ideas and different elements that Krisanna has put into her projects is incredible, it was so fun to see the different ways invitations and day-of paper goods could be used, designed and styled. My now-husband came to our first coffee meeting and although he definitely got a little overwhelmed the sheer opinions in paper types, Krisanna was there to calmly guide us through the process. I had a vague idea of what I wanted. Being transplants form New England, and most of our guests traveling across country and then across the Cascades to get to our wedding, we wanted our guests to know from the invitation that they were heading somewhere beautiful and special. Krisanna had an incredible idea to emboss her hand-made drawing of the mountainous view from our wedding venue onto our invitation. To this day, it’s probably the most beautiful piece of paper I have ever seen. It’s delicate and different and beyond what I could have imagined for our invitation. Her invitation design captured everything I wanted our wedding to be. Almost 11 months later, I’m still obsessed.

With the majority of our guests being from out of state, Krisanna helped us design welcome bags and cards that gave tips to our guests on fun things to do and see while they were in the area.
For our day of paper-goods, Krisanna took elements from our invitation suite and sprinkled them throughout our day. These elegant little touches tied together our love for natural things, the mountains we were married in front of, and evergreens.

In addition to the invitation, one element that I will forever treasure is our cocktail menu. We are the loving “parents” to a black lab named Huckleberry and a crazy tabby cat named Taz. Krisanna helped us to find a way to include them in our special day, by having signature cocktails named after them, and on the menu she hand-painted portraits of our beloved duo. It is these little touches that makes Krisanna such a talented and personable artist.

Finding krisanna to work with during the wedding process was a true gift. She was incredibly nice, fun, supportive, and works incredibly hard. Her dedication to her stationary and design is apparent in the beautiful work that she creates. I couldn’t recommend her enough, and if you have the pleasure to work with her, trust her. The embossed mountains that I am still obsessed with in our invitation suite is her artistic brainchild and something better than I could have ever dreamed of.

Didn't think I needed a wedding planner - but after my phenomenal experience with Krisanna, I don't know how I would've done it without her!

Got a wedding to plan? Need a new friend? Krisanna is incredibly fun to work with and seriously amazing at her job. I (ashamedly) have pretty high standards, but Krisanna is THE one person I trusted in full - from start to finish, K repeatedly overdelivered beyond expectations with her sharp attention to detail, boundless creativity, and enthusiasm, which all stem from her love for her clients and job. She carries all the personality traits and characteristics of THE ideal, best-in-class wedding planner - I seriously cannot think of a better person fit for this job than her. Krisanna stands apart from the rest because she treats you as if you're her best friend getting married, who she wants to plan THE BEST, most memorable wedding for, rather than a vendor you hired.

*PREFACE: I know this review is super cheesy and gushy about how amazing Krisanna is, how much we love her, etc, etc.. BUT IT'S ALL TRUE, SO TAKE IT TO HEART. SHE MADE OUR WEDDING PERFECT (SERIOUSLY PERFECT) BECAUSE OF HOW METICULOUSLY ORGANIZED, EXPERIENCED, AND GOOD AT HER JOB SHE IS. ALSO THE SUN WAS SHINING AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL 70 DEGREE WEATHER MARCH SEATTLE DAY (maybe not due to Krisanna, but I'd like to think so ;)

--- DO I EVEN NEED A WEDDING PLANNER? I JUST NEED A DAY-OF COORDINATOR! ---
I'm from Washington, but currently live in New Jersey - planning our wedding from the other side of the country proved to be a bit challenging! I wanted to plan my Chihuly wedding without a wedding planner to save money, but knew I needed a day-of coordinator. I didn't fully understand what wedding planners did, or why people hired them (sorry, Krisanna!). There's enough resources, Pinterest boards, and Yelp reviews for vendors online, right? WRONG!! I can't pinpoint each time that Krisanna helped, or you'd get bored reading this.. but my husband and I know that she was the MVP, and sole reason that our wedding day turned out to be everything and more.

During our first conversation, Krisanna spent nearly two hours discussing her services, providing recommendations for vendors I needed, and answering my never ending list of questions. Ultimately, I ended up hiring Krisanna six months out from my wedding (March 2019), which was hands down, the. best. decision. we. made.

--- HIGHLIGHTS OF WORKING WITH KRISANNA ---
* K's passion and dedication reverberate throughout her work - she makes a job.. not look like a job, but a natural environment in which she's one with the elements. She makes the planning process enjoyable and easy for everyone involved.
* K's network of vendors are great! Several of them went above and beyond for us (i.e., extra special photographer presence, complimentary floral mock-up, make-up trial, etc.) because.. who doesn't love Krisanna?? We truly had a stellar A+ vendor team - I cried when I saw our flowers and our photographers were BRILLIANT ;_;
* K's eye for aesthetics makes her an all-in-one wedding planner / designer / stylist / artist. MOST VENDORS DON'T COME PACKAGED SO WONDERFULLY!!
* K will make you laugh, undoubtedly, with her dry humor and bubbly personality. Like a best friend, she'll support your decisions, but won't be afraid to disagree and suggest better alternatives.

--- K'S CALLIGRAPHY & ART SERVICES ---
Krisanna designed, drew, and styled the following for our wedding:
* Wedding menus (calligraphy, gold foil embossing of the Chihuly Garden & Glass museum, hand drawn by K)
* Name tags (calligraphy) printed on white cardstock, tied loosely to folded napkins with ivory silk ribbon
* Acrylic name tags (calligraphy) for the head table, number signs (calligraphy), and other acrylic signage (i.e., bar menu, photo booth station, gifts/advice table)
* A large acrylic wedding seating chart (calligraphy)
* Advice cards (calligraphy, typeset)

I feel terrible admitting this, but I've always been hesitant with ordering modern calligraphy services because amateur calligraphy doesn't exude the sophistication and elegance that calligraphy is associated with. I'm no expert, but Krisanna's calligraphy is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, it LOOKS as if it's printed because her calligraphy is fluid and effortlessly perfect. Several wedding guests were shocked to learn that their name tags were written by hand, and not printed calligraphy from a computer! ALSO, she offers her planning clients a 10% discount for her calligraphy services. I regret not hiring her to design our invitations and other stationery.

TL;DR: TRUST ME. IT IS SOO MUCH EASIER TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SHITSTORM (WEDDING PLANNING) WHEN YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND (WHO'S 100% EMOTIONALLY STABLE) HELPING YOU AT EVERY STEP. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE HER - THERE'S A REASON SHE GETS BOOKED QUICKLY!!

Hire Krisanna for coordinating (and planning if you can!) your wedding. You won’t regret it.

Krisanna was our Day of Coordinator for our August 2018 wedding weekend at Guemes Island Resort. We are so happy we hired her to help us execute our wedding! If anything, I wish we hired her to help us plan our wedding too. I had no idea how much work it would be to plan a wedding weekend …

We hired Krisanna largely because she had experience coordinating weddings at our venue. Although the Resort was exactly what I had in my mind for our wedding, it came with its own host of logistic challenges as it is only accessible by ferry. It also didn’t require any specific vendors, which I loved, but also presented additional coordination challenges because everything was a la carte. As we got closer to our wedding, Krisanna swooped in and put together the Rubik’s Cube of 10+ vendors I hired for the event, ensuring everyone planned for the ferry. I couldn’t have done it without her.

On the day of, we had a couple of hiccups due to unexpected weather and misplaced escort cards. She insulated me (and most importantly, my mom) from the issues and made decisions on our behalf so we could all enjoy our wedding day.

Hire Krisanna for coordinating (and planning if you can!) your wedding. You won’t regret it.
