Full disclosure - our wedding was September 2018, but this is the review we wrote for another review site right after our wedding:
There are no words to adequately describe our gratitude to Kirsten for her hard work in making our big day not only a success but an enjoyable day for us, our family, and our friends. We basically handed her one of the most important days of our lives and asked her to take care of it all, and she did it beautifully. We would work with her again without hesitation. A true professional, Kirsten didn’t bat an eye at our requests or questions. She was the go-to person for our vendors, which alleviated a lot of our stress with final planning in the last 6 weeks before the wedding. She helped plan all the little details that I had not even thought of (who is walking together down the aisle and in what order, who’s taking care of decor/gift transport at end of night, the whole day-of timeline). She was also the go-to person the day of the wedding and handled several issues, including sewing my husband’s button back on his suit in the middle of photos that afternoon and even gave us a last minute dance lesson and pep talk when we got nervous before our first dance. You will not regret your decision to work with her. She is simply wonderful.

Kirsten was AMAZING. Hands down the best decision we made in our planning process. At first, I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner, but as the big day approached, I was so happy to have someone to bounce ideas off of and check off the last to-dos on our list. However, on the actual day, Kirsten was on top of everything! She was so organized and had everything ready to go everywhere we went. With multiple locations, I was nervous things would not come together but because of her things were flawless. We received many comments on how impressed our guests were with how smoothly things flowed the night of our wedding - not a compliment you normally hear, but it was so smooth people felt the need to let us know about it! I highly recommend her services! (Thanks Kirsten!)

Kirsten was amazing throughout the planning process!! She was so supportive and provided great advice!!

My husband and I hired Kirsten and her team for our Oct 2014 wedding. I can say this, GET A WEDDING PLANNER! If you are like me thinking "who in the heck hires a wedding planner" or "only rich people hire planners" I can say this....get those thoughts out of your head. I cannot imagine what it would have been like planning a wedding without the help of Kirsten. She was always fast to respond to emails, willing to give opinions, help with decor ideas, help with pretty much ANYTHING you asked of her. She was there on our big day to deal with anything that came up (I honestly didn't even hear any issues or problems that day) and if we had any she must have taken care of them because all I needed to do what show up and look good! I would recommend her for wedding planning!

Our wedding coordinator was fabulous! I couldn't have had such an amazing wedding with out her! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an organized event coordinator. She gave us great ideas and helped us pull together an amazing event!

Kirsten at Fab Event Design did an amazing job with our wedding. She recommended some AMAZING vendors and come the day of she had everything under control and the whole wedding was timed perfectly. Even when we told her the week of the wedding that we wanted to do fireworks so didn't even hesitate to coordinate with the firework company and the venue. Kirsten did an amazing job and I HIGHLY recommend her and her team for wedding planning!

BEST money we spent! I had the opportunity to see Kirsten in action at another wedding - I was sold instantly. We used Fab.you.lous Events for Day of Coordination and were beyond satisfied. I had nothing to worry about because Kirsten was on top of everything. The day was perfect! Thank you!

My husband and I are so happy we chose to work with Kirsten. When first making our wedding planner decision, we were between Kirsten and another vendor. We went with the other vendor because she had experience with our venues and Kirsten hadn't at that point. We ended up having a terrible experience with the first planner, and went back to Kirsten a few months later and begged her for another chance =) Choosing to have Kirsten involved in our wedding was really one of the best decisions we made. We essentially were planning a destination wedding for all of our guests because we were the only ones who lived in Minnesota - almost every single guest had to travel. I had no other local help, and Kirsten was just amazing. She had very creative ideas for everything from center pieces to place settings to the menus. She even designed and printed the menus and center pieces! Kirsten also had great suggestions on all of the etiquette "stuff" that we just weren't familiar with. She was also great at handling the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom - thank goodness!

Now that the wedding is done, we're trying to find a good time to get together...she became a very good friend throughout the process, and I hope our relationship continues well past my wedding day. I highly recommend working with Fab.you.lous Event Design!

Words cannot describe how beneficial, helpful and supportive Kirsten from Fab.you.lous Even Design has been throughout the wedding planning process. I know many couples are concerned about their budget and as a result does not consider hiring a wedding planner - if you are this couple I would truly think twice about this. Kirsten will make sure that you stay within your budget and she truly takes the stress out of wedding planning. I contacted her early in the planning process and from the very beginning she was very easy to work with and would go out of her way to help, support and advise me. During the planning process she listened very carefully to the vision I had for the wedding and greatly exceeded my expectations. She had vendors in mind that were within my budget and could produce what I had envisioned - this saved me hours of searching! She was in contact with all of my vendors so that they knew exactly where to go and knew when they had to be there. She had answers to all of my questions, whether I thought they were stupid or not.

The services she provided the day of the wedding were impeccable - she arrived at the reception hall early Saturday morning to set up, she then came to the ceremony site to make sure everything was going smoothly and was there to make sure everybody got down the aisle including the flower girl (4 years old) and ring bearer (2 years old). She then went back to the reception hall to complete the set-up before the guests arrived. At the end of the night she made sure everything was cleaned up - she even packed up the decorations and made sure they were in my parent’s car for them to bring home. My parents are eternally grateful for her help - they didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding and could enjoy themselves. I didn't have to assign any tasks to family members, which I am very thankful for. Just when you think that was enough, she then had champagne and chocolate waiting in our hotel room when we arrived! After the wedding my parents, my husbands parents, my husband and myself were all raving about the work she did - she is a must have!!!

We hired Kirsten as our day of coordinator and I don't regret it for a minute. She was prompt to return e-mails and calls, had fantastic ideas, and can handle all the little details of any wedding. Although we technically only booked for one day of coordination she met with me on several occasions and was a great sounding board for ideas.

I did absolutely nothing on the morning of my wedding. Well, scratch that, I drank my coffee, chatted with my mom and bridesmaids as we got ready for the day, and worked on a crossword puzzle. I did not lift a finger with decorations, vendor coordination, or errands. She took care of everything, including driving back to my fiance's apartment to pick up the wedding gift for me that he had forgotten to bring with him!

She takes a lot of pride in her work and it shows. She loves what she does and every bride gets the same treatment, regardless of whether you select full planning or day of coordination. I recommend her to every bride I know and have heard nothing but complete satisfaction from others. Book her!
