We hired Kristeen for her full-service wedding planning package, and “full-service” doesn’t even begin to describe it! Instead of just checking off items on a list, Kristeen likes to get a sense of your style to really make sure that your wedding is uniquely you. We really appreciated her straightforwardness because it saved us both time and frustration. She made us feel like we had a great advocate when it came to dealing with the venue, vendors, and other contractors involved. Her recommendations for vendors were excellent and her rolodex is a very valuable tool. On the day she did a great job of keeping everything running smoothly and keeping any hiccups (and stress) away from our view. She’s not afraid to fight for you but she doesn’t want you to feel like there is fighting, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. A+++++++++++++++++++

Kristeen was an amazing wedding planner who thought of everything! She'll give you great suggestions to help enhance your wedding..but she knows it's your vision and won't try pushing any ideas on you. We worked with Kristeen for a year to plan our day. She was incredibly flexible and super easy to reach. I always heard back from her, sometimes in just a few minutes, when I emailed a question. She contacted and stayed on top of all the vendors and on our day, we were able to just relax and enjoy everything because she was there to ensure it was all running smoothly. She is also wonderfully charismatic...our families had wonderful things to say about her and she made everyone feel important. During the process, I had several lunches with Kristeen. It's like hanging out with a dear girlfriend who just happens to know everything you'll need to know to navigate through the planning process. Kristeen is a modern planner who is always learning more and researching the newest styles and trends in weddings. If she doesn't know about something, she'll find out for you and she was great about keeping us on budget and helping us find the best vendors for our buck. Kristeen can advice you on everything from dress shops, wedding party gifts, favors, to restaurants for rehearsal dinners. My husband and I always say, "Kristeen was definitely the best investment we could have ever made during the planning process". Also, I have no doubt she managed to save us more money than we paid her..so if you are on the fence about getting a planner, please do and make it Kristeen.

Kristeen gave my Husband and I the peace of mind throughout our planning and ensured that our wedding day would look BETTER than we could have dreamed. She is extremely detail oriented which worked perfectly with our extremely detailed ceremony and reception set up and breakdown. Kristeen only recommended the best vendors in Los Angeles and Orange County and her professionalism was shining through on wedding day! I could not have chosen a better person to keep my vendors on point all day long!

Kristeen is a master planner and all around outstanding person to work with! She is so creative, professional and organized. I have worked with her a couple times at The Ebell of Los Angeles and I can't wait to work with her again! I would highly recommend Kristeen to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Many times, couples seem to try and cut the coordinator out of the budget and throw these responsibilities on the DJ, but they are only making it more difficult for their events to be as precise and coordinated as it can possibly be. I've worked with Kristeen on numerous events as the DJ and she was always great about being on top of things and making sure that I can focus on keeping the party entertained and enjoying themselves. Kristeen is very experienced, easy to work with, and will make sure you have the wedding that you and your guests will always remember.

We've had the honor of photographing a few perfectly planned and designed weddings by Kristeen LaBrot. She is a wonderful leader and makes the entire team of vendors feel like family. Her designs are unique and magazine worthy. She is sweet but assertive and gets the just done. Some of our favorite jobs of the past year were working together with Kristeen and we can't wait until the next one!
