Kristin + team made every step of the process so EASY and fun -- and her organization helped us stay on top of every little detail, despite our busy schedules! She was trustworthy, quick to respond, and so comfortable to be with through it all! You will NOT regret choosing Bel Momento for the wedding of your dreams!!

Best investment!

Kristin and her team are the absolute best. Kristin ensured everything ran smoothly and helped us immensely with planning in the last few months leading up to our wedding. We are so grateful for her and her team's guidance and attention to detail, and know that our wedding would not have been the same without them there.

Not only is Kristin extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry, but even from our initial call it was evident to me that she truly cares for her couples and is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that their vision is met. I had a lot of DIYs and small details that I wanted to include and Kristin was always encouraging of my ideas and ensured that everything came together day of.

I would highly recommended Kristin and her team at Bel Momento if you are planning a Jersey Shore wedding!

Amazing, talented and genuine planner

Kristin is an amazing wedding planner, a true professional. She is kind, patient, and incredibly organized. It is hard to express how grateful we are to have had her with us throughout our entire planning process. Kristin is incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, we truly could feel how much she cared to make our day everything we wanted and more. She connected us with the best vendors as well, we could not have worked with a better group of people and that all stems from the professional Kristin is and the great reputation she has earned. My husband and I are both very busy working professionals who were planning a wedding in Stone Harbor, NJ while living in North Jersey. Kristin kept us on track with everything and took so much stress out of the planning process for us both. She cared so much about our wishes for the day and also brought great ideas to the table and helped them all to come through on our wedding day. Kristin was with us throughout the planning process, jumping on calls, coordinating meetings, coming to planning meetings, etc. Kristin was never pushy and truly a joy to work with. Kristin also had an incredible team with us on the day our wedding. They made sure everything was running smoothly, keeping the day on track and could not have been sweeter. Everyone always says to expect at least 3 things to go wrong on your wedding day, I can't think of one thing (other than cold weather) and if something did go wrong, it was taken care of because the day was seamless. The details of our day were more beautiful than we could have imagined... thanks to Kristin, her team and the amazing vendors she connected us with. Our guests were raving about how beautiful everything turned out and we can't stop dreaming about the day, we wish we could relive it but now we have our beautiful photos to remember it all. Kristin cared about every detail, packing for the wedding week, the details of our rehearsal dinner, even packing beforehand for our honeymoon. We are so thankful to have had Kristin and the BelMomento team, they are amazing and we could not have chosen a better person for planning the most special day.

Amazing wedding working with Kristin!

We absolutely LOVED working with Kristin from start to finish! We got married on the Jersey shore and she was an invaluable resource with tons of local vendor recommendations (all of which were FANTASTIC). For a bride who doesn't live in New Jersey, she was such a trusted expert to go to with questions. She was extremely patient with an admittedly indecisive bride, and kind with a not-so-involved groom. :) She brought such a calming energy to what can be a chaotic and overwhelming planning process. Our day was absolutely perfect and it's completely due to Kristin's organization, experience, and execution. I don't know how many people commented about how calm I was on my wedding day, and it was because I trusted Kristin and knew everything would go smoothly. Her day-of team of Leah and Kathleen were such a joy to get to work with as well! The whole team kept us on schedule and taken care of. It was truly such a relief to not have to worry about small details on our wedding day and really appreciate all of it coming together so beautifully. I could not recommend Bel Momento enough - if you work with Kristin, you are in the BEST hands for your day!

Simply the BEST!

I don't even know how to articulate in words the depth of my gratitude and appreciation for Kristin of Bel Momento Weddings. Not only is she an exceptional planner and upmost professional, she is the kindest, most generous person by far that I have come in contact with during this entire wedding planning experience. From our first conversation, I felt like I was talking to a friend I've known forever who was sincerely excited about our wedding. She offered her advice and recommendations without being pushy and was knowledgeable about every venue, vendor, process, and detail. She was my go-to person and went above and beyond the responsibilities of any planner. I was already nervous and stressed planning a destination wedding in Cape May in less than 6 months but Kristin made it seem doable and was a bright light in my planning frenzy. Just as I was about to sign my contract with Kristin, COVID happened. We had to postpone our wedding twice and then ultimately cancel and eventually schedule it in another state. After all this, Kristin STILL helped me through these difficult decisions. I would not have gotten through wedding planning during COVID without her kindness and generosity. I will be forever grateful to her for her assistance and support. For these reasons and so many more, I highly recommend Kristin and her team at Bel Momento for their exceptional service and unparalleled kindness

Amazing Experience

I absolutely cannot recommend Kristin & her team enough. Without Belmomento, my husband and I could not have planned and executed our dream wedding in Cape May on October 23, 2021. Kristin’s expertise and knowledge of the wedding industry and event production overall is invaluable. Throughout the year+ that we planned my wedding together, Kristin put me at ease every time I talked to her due to her naturally friendly and lighthearted personality, paired with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Kristin is someone you can trust and rely on, and she makes sure you stay on track with timelines and details so that even the smallest things are not overlooked or missed. I booked my entire team of amazing vendors based on Kristin’s thoughtful and honest recommendations, and I received so many compliments from family and friends about how fantastic each vendor was during the wedding. Not only was Kristin exceptional during the months leading up to my wedding, but she and her team went above and beyond during my wedding weekend to make sure everything went smoothly, which was a feat in itself with all of the moving parts. A few highlights: they were present at the rehearsal to help direct, and even picked up/dropped off our personal items for the reception that night so we could head straight to the rehearsal dinner. On the day of the wedding, they coordinated our large wedding party, managed our team of vendors, made sure guests made it onto our shuttles from 2 pickup point locations, and even picked up food/drinks from my parent’s house and delivered them to our venue’s bridal suite, and set everything up! Heather even steamed my wedding gown and helped me carry the train and bouquet throughout the day. Kristin & team were instrumental in making sure the venue was set up and broken down within a very quick turnaround time, and made sure that our reception ran on time and according to plan. I could go on and on about my amazing experiences with Belmomento, but overall they took the stress and responsibility off of me, my husband, and our families so that we could truly enjoy the weekend. We are so grateful and can’t thank Kristin and her team enough. Bringing Belmomento on board for your wedding is the best decision you will make :) Thank you, Kristin!!

A very talented wedding planner!

We loved partnering with Kristin for our wedding, and know for certain it would not have gone so smoothly without her help! From our initial conversations through to our big day, Kristin was so very helpful, professional, and friendly, answering all our questions and providing a ton of invaluable recommendations.

There were so many little details she helped us plan for (many of which we didn't even have on the radar!), that helped to really bring together our event and turn our wedding vision into a reality. She recommended a number of wonderful vendors, but was never pushy in any of her recommendations, allowing us to make the right choices for us as a couple and what we wanted our wedding to be. She helped keep us organized and on track with our timeline and planning, and was always patient and timely in her responses.

For the day of our wedding, she was accompanied by two additional planners, Meredith and Kathleen who were amazing! Between the three of them, they helped to make our big day run so smoothly and kept it stress-free. They made sure we were on time, and had everything we needed - allowing us to really enjoy the day and not have to worry about all the little details and logistics. I can't thank them enough, and would highly recommend Bel Momento!

We had such a great experience working with Kristin for our Stone Harbor wedding this past October. She was extremely knowledgeable about the different vendors in the area and had a great relationship with the venue we used. Throughout the entire planning process Kristin was extremely organized, responsive and friendly. She was quick to respond to emails and phone calls and answered any questions we had. On the day of our wedding she made sure everything ran seamlessly, we couldn't have done it without Kristin and her team. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an event planner!

We are Brooklyn residents who were looking for something truly special – but off-the-beaten path – for our second wedding. For our November 2016 event, Kristin helped us transform One Atlantic, an event space in Atlantic City, New Jersey, into a full-fledged disco, complete with a glittery disco ball.

Kristin is a true pro. She is responsive, calm and experienced. She recommended fantastic, reasonably priced vendors for our invitations, photo booth, decor/flowers and even was on hand to be a last-minute witness for our marriage license. She was honest and thorough about what to expect, and she worked seamlessly with all of our vendors.

Kristin kept the wedding train running on time from start-to-finish of planning process. (She even impressed my BFF, who plans events -- and is a VERY tough cookie to please.) Kristin, thankfully, worked with some of the more "difficult" personalities we encountered along the way with style and grace. She truly seemed to enjoy every minute of planning the tiniest of details and had SO MANY inspiring and creative ideas, particularly with decor and lighting. When I felt like my time was running short, Kristin executed a VERY daunting project I had proposed when we first met: framing wedding photos from all of our wedding guests to display at the cocktail hour. I'm so glad she carried out my wishes, as our guests loved this special treat.

Thank you Kristin, for exceeding our ridiculously high standards. Disco Fever FOREVER. You can check out some images of the event here: https://www.facebook.com/oneatlanticevents/posts/1303503669700054

Planning a small, elegant wedding while working 40+ hours in 2 months' time is quite a feat, but what made this endeavor all the more enjoyable (!) and smooth was the practiced guidance lent by hiring Kristin of Bel Momento for the day of the event coordination. She was incredibly generous in her time of phone and personal meetings with vendor suggestions, timing and ideas to help make my husband and my 02/20/16 small, elegant wedding be all that was imagined. This was all included in this level of service! Her staff, led by the incredible Meredith, worked seamlessly on the day of the event with the venue in preparation of the wedding and reception, all through the event and in the aftermath of the clean up. Kristin's calm demeanor belied her competent command of all details, thus assuring my piece of mind that all the minutiae that IS a wedding comes to fruition. Highly recommend! Well worth every penny.
