Let’s just say, in my Gmail Calendar I color-coded our meetings with Kristen in “yellow,” which I strictly reserve for “fun activities.” If that doesn’t say it all, here is a bit more…

From day 1 of working with Kristen, I have been thinking about how I could write a review that adequately encapsulates the quality of her services. I am in awe of the mix of characteristics she brings to the table - she is organized, logistical, and detail-oriented (like a project manager), creative and big-picture oriented (like a party planner), patient, supportive, and comforting (like a friend), and able to navigate conflict and manage expectations (like a family therapist haha).

People kept asking me, “How are you doing? Are you getting any sleep??” and I consistently responded with, “I’m actually doing fine, thanks to Kristen. If she tells me to stress about something, I will - but until then, I am trusting the process and I know it will all get done.” She left no stone unturned and was able to accommodate additions and changes whenever they came up. She even made some of my wild ideas comes to fruition without batting an eye (morning-of bouquet making, catered Chipotle, and a private last dance just to name a few)!

Kristen navigated challenges with a few vendors, both advocating in our best interest while also maintaining professional and positive relationships.

I could not have pictured this day without Kristen. I was able to enjoy it even more because it had been an enjoyable process throughout so there was no sense of resentment or stress associated with it. I have already recommended her to two co-workers and will continue to do so for anyone and everyone who will listen :)

Kristen helped us achieve the wedding we thought we couldn’t achieve! She created a warm and welcoming environment for our friends and family while embracing our love of nature and enhancing our location’s stunning natural surroundings. Kristen’s kindness, professionalism, and personable approach made the entire experience completely stress-free. We couldn’t be more grateful for her support in bringing our vision to life!

I cannot thank Kristen Delano of Blackwater Events enough for the incredible job she did as our day-of coordinator. As a type-A bride, I was anxious about every detail coming together perfectly on our wedding day, but Kristen completely alleviated all my worries. From the moment she took over, I knew we were in expert hands.

Kristen's attention to detail, organization, and calm demeanor allowed me to fully relax and immerse myself in every moment of my August wedding. She coordinated every aspect flawlessly, making sure things ran smoothly while I could focus on enjoying the day with my loved ones. It was clear that she had everything under control, and the best part was how seamless everything felt—I didn't have to worry about a thing.

Her communication and ability to anticipate our needs were impeccable. Kristen worked with all of our vendors, kept the timeline running on schedule, and managed unexpected hiccups with grace, all while ensuring I remained stress-free. It truly felt like a dream come true, and I was able to soak in every precious moment without a single concern.

I am so grateful for Kristen’s expertise and dedication to making our wedding day perfect. She went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who can expertly handle every detail so they can enjoy their special day without stress. Thank you, Kristen, for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!
