Summer Wedding

Kristen was incredible! She was extremely helpful and thought of every little detail, it was stunning. Not only that but she's very professional and could quickly problem solve. It started to rain an hour before the ceremony and she acted quickly for a back up plan and it went SO smoothly.

A Venues Perspective on Wedding Planning

One of the perks of having a wedding planner/ coordinator is that they have a wonderful network of vendors that they have worked with. This is certainly the case with Amethyst x Emerald. Kristen has worked along side vendors and is happy to suggest great recommendations to her clients.

After working with Kristen and her team on a 2023 wedding I am happy to say that as a venue Amethyst x Emerald is now on my recommendation list as well. Kristen and her team jumped right in and became part of our team not only meeting the needs of our couple and exceeding them but also going above and beyond to make sure our venue staff had everything they needed as well.

If you are planning a wedding or other special event you should absolutely look into having Amethyst x Emerald be part of your event.

Exceptional, personalized service

Kristen was a wonderful planner to work with this past October for our wedding. She helped me with every little detail, suggested details that worked well, and even had great suggestions for various vendors when I had no idea where to even start. She had organized checklists that she went over with me, making sure everything was thought of. She was there on the big day and worked with vendors to make sure everything went smoothly.

My planner is the best

Kristen took over planning for me at about 6 months out from my wedding. I was planning from out of state and in way over my head. She handled everything and made it feel effortless and enjoyable. The day went perfect and she kept us on time and focusing on our day. She's incredible
