Krafted by Design

I don’t even know where to begin with Krafted by design. Chalene is incredibly gifted and a godsend! We started working together on my wedding in January of 2020….then the pandemic hit. I was 8 months out from my wedding when I completely changed the theme of my wedding (I like too many things haha). Chalene didn’t seem to mind whatsoever with the changes and gave me great suggestions and recommendations. Anything I needed, she was on it FAST, and coordinating it with the vendors immediately. We communicated mainly through WhatsApp and it made everything so much easier that way. We were able to make final adjustments and changes very close to the wedding (since covid left everything in limbo up until days before the big day), Chalene didn’t skip a beat on her work, and made sure everything would be perfect. I had panic attacks and extreme anxiety on multiples occasions leading up the the wedding because of covid regulations constantly changing and chalene might as well have been my therapist hahah she eased my nerves and ensured me it will all be okay. She was right. My ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were absolutely GORGEOUS! The vendors she recommended were outstanding and it all came together like I dreamed it would. I was more than satisfied with the outcome; the results spoke for themselves. I cannot speak more highly of Krafted by Design and the amazing work she does. If you’re having a jamaica destination wedding and aren’t sure if you want/need a wedding coordinator, DO IT! And hire Krafted by design!! You will NOT be disappointed. She is professional, responsive, compassionate, and a wonderful person all around.

We had an amazing experience with Krafted by Design from start to finish. Chalene was extremely professional, easy to work with, and truly listened to what we wanted. She respected our budget while still providing incredible value, and the end result was beyond beautiful. Better than we could have ever imagined! Everything looked gorgeous and was thoughtfully done with care. We couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

I’ve always loved Krafted’s decor and was ecstatic to have them do our wedding. Chalene was great to work with, very professional and took the time to understand our vision. I was blown away when I saw the vision come to life….everything was executed perfectly! Working with Krafted was a 10/10 experience. I’m looking forward to using them again for other events.

From the very beginning, working with Krafted was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding. Planning a wedding in Jamaica while living in New York could have felt overwhelming, but Chalene and Angie made the entire process feel seamless, organized, and genuinely enjoyable.

Angie, who served as our wedding coordinator, was so much more than a coordinator. She offered truly compassionate and personalized support to my husband and me throughout the entire planning process. She ensured we felt supported, heard, and confident every step of the way. Angie has a rare gift for building real relationships. At no point did the experience feel transactional. After vendor calls, she would always check in with us, not just about pricing or logistics, but to make sure we were happy with the overall vibe, energy, and direction of our wedding.

The level of communication was exceptional. Despite the distance, Chalene and Angie did not miss a beat. We stayed in close contact via WhatsApp and were speaking nearly daily in the three months leading up to the wedding, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were attentive, responsive, and always readily available, even hopping on calls whenever needed to walk through details or answer questions.

They also worked closely with our budget, tapping into their extensive Rolodex of trusted vendors to bring our vision to life while remaining flexible and solution oriented. Whenever adjustments were needed, they found thoughtful ways to make things work without compromising the look, feel, or quality of our wedding.

Thanks to their dedication, care, and professionalism, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day knowing everything was handled with intention and excellence. If you’re planning a destination wedding and want a team that truly cares about you, not just the event, Krafted, Chalene, and Angie are absolutely unmatched.

We chose Krafted By Design to plan and design our wedding. From our first virtual meeting, we knew we chose the right team with Chalene and Angie. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I have been planning our wedding (in my head) for months so it was nice to have someone to share all my ideas with. Chalene and Angie went above and beyond to communicate with and secure our vendors. Because this would be a destination wedding for us, I needed a planning team that was big on communication and that is what we got. I did my research and knew some of the vendors I wanted but I appreciated their feedback and experience they offered with each of the vendors. Chalene and Angie also had amazing recommendations for the vendors that I did not have. We created a WhatsApp group so that I could message back and forth. Chalene and Angie were also very responsive via email. We had very few phone conference calls at the early stages but it ramped up by a lot closer to the wedding date so do not worry because they were definitely working behind the scenes.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Chalene and Angie scheduled the vendor meetings to discuss logistics. They were on every vendor call with us and chimed in whenever we had questions to make sure each vendor understood our vision and could carry them out. Chalene and Angie also worked within our budget. I was able to cut a lot out from the original design plan and it was still so beautiful. I can’t wait to see the official pictures but our guests are still raving on how beautiful the florals, candles and chandeliers looked. It rained the night before and the morning of our wedding and Chalene and Angie switched gears and we implemented our Plan B. I was amazed at how well they worked together and coordinated with the various vendors arriving at different times throughout the day. I created a packing list for the décor I brought down with me in the multiple suitcases but we accidentally unpacked everything in advance so things got a little mixed up so my advice would be to stay organized and let Krafted handle that.

The day of our wedding, everything went smoothly. And if something went wrong, I honestly had no idea. Our glam team showed up bright and early and Krafted got to work. They checked in with me a handful of times but mostly left me alone. I had no idea what was going on outside but the ceremony, reception and cocktail hour spaces were so enchanting. This allowed me to be present in the moment with my family and enjoy being a stress free Bride. I could not believe that Chalene and Angie brought every single detail to life! By the end our wedding, we felt like family. If I could do this again, I would absolutely choose Krafted by Design!

Chalene and her team gave us the best wedding ever as stated by all of our guests. She was so nice and organized. My dreams came to reality that night. It was really the best night of my life. The night went seamlessly and the flowers were just amazing.

What can I say Chalene and Angie were awesome!!! From the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, the florals and decor were on point. I went with a tropical theme and they more than delivered. I wasn’t really involved with the florals as I was like do your thing lol, but when I saw my bouquet 💐, I was so happy and couldn’t wait to see the whole set up.
When I tell you the Details, Details were on point and the way how they incorporated my subtle style was AWESOME. The guests were all blown away by the elegant style and how everything came together lovely. We were happy and I would definitely recommend them to future brides! You won’t regret it!

In a sea of chaos - Chalene is a bright light ready to herd cats to execute your vision! Nothing is perfect in life, but Chalene took every bump in the road personally and worked her hardest to fix them with speed and ease to the point that the bumps were hardly noticed and the mood and vibe could continue to be 100%! In the months leading up, she organized and managed the process with ease, and on the ground she was triaging left and right to make sure we had the party of the year! People could not stop singing her praises at the event, which looked so gorgeous and unique. She executed my vision just as I had expressed by making sure she had all the information needed ahead of time! She is discerning with vendors and advice too, and will not lead you astray. Plus, she does it all with a smile and grace. Her attitude and calm head while still being committed to making your day perfect makes her the perfect choice for your right hand woman for your special day.

Our wedding day was one of the best days we experienced, and it was due in large part to Krafted Design. From the moment we first contacted the Krafted team, they were nothing short of amazing. Whether it was revising our décor to meet our budget needs, suggesting additional vendors, or just picking up the phone to check in with us, we cannot express our gratitude enough. We had been counting down the days until we could experience their work and talent, and the countdown was worth every second. Our family, friends, and guests cannot stop raving about how beautiful everything was!

Chalene and The Krafted Team was the best decision I could have ever made for our Wedding. As newly weds we pledge to use Krafted for every anniversary year on year.
The time, effort and commitment showed to us leading up to our big day was nothing short of exceptional service. Krafted team turned a blank space into a A class event. Chalene listened to our needs and catered to our wants and desires. She gave wellrounded feedback and suggestions especially in keeping our budget down and in place.
I am happy we were "KRAFTED" their is nothing I would change from my experience.
