It’s taken me far too long to write this review, because I truly think it’s impossible to put into words how amazing Kristin is on a personal and professional level - but I’m going to try! My husband and I first spoke with Kristin over 1.5 years out from our wedding date, and from our initial call it was clear that we would be lucky to work with her. Not only is Kristin easy to talk to, but she is also *so* knowledgeable when it comes to Charlottesville/the surrounding area and vendors/businesses. You can hear the joy in her voice over the phone when she talks about these things!! From our welcome drinks venue to our rentals, florist to local paper printing, Kristin knows exactly who and what to recommend in all situations.

I had the pleasure of working with Kristin for the year and a half of planning leading up to our June 7th wedding, with standing phone calls every other week starting 6 months out - I miss these calls! Kristin is organized, thorough, and prompt, but even more than that she’s warm, kind, and has an eye for design and detail that I feel cannot be beat. Throughout planning, Kristin never steered me/us wrong for details both big and small. We spent time picking out linens together during our rentals meeting, and had to pivot to another plan for linens - when she sent over options, they were colors/prints that would not have been my first choice, but wound up pulling my entire vision together beyond anything I could have imagined.

Week of the wedding, Kristin was working tirelessly behind the scenes to do everything humanly possible to make our Plan A a reality - weather forecasts were gloomy with strong potential for rain/storms, but Kristin worked with rentals, catering, photography, and even a meteorologist to be prepared to execute our dream wedding. Of course, she also made sure Plan B was prepared to keep our day running smoothly in case of unfortunate weather. She respected when I as a bride didn’t want to entertain the thought of rain (🤪) but still made sure that no matter what, our day would be magical. Fast forward to June 7, and my mind was truly blown by how seamlessly our day at Keswick came together. From timeline to place settings, Kristin and her *amazing* team made sure our day was perfect with nothing out of place. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and tent reception were everything and more - I still can’t believe it happened (and not a drop of rain in the sky). Even with my husband dislocating his kneecap during our first dance (unfortunately can’t make this up), Kristin and her gals remained calm, cool, and collected, and kept our evening running according to plan.

My husband has said over and over how choosing Kristin as our planner (our first vendor booked after the venue) was the best decision we could have ever made, and I echo his sentiments 1,000x over. Kristin is a gift to her couples and the wedding world, and we are so grateful that out of all the possible vendors, we found her. Book Kristin Ridge Events now - you won’t regret it 😌

If you can book Kristin, you’ve hit the jackpot. She’s professional, creative, kind, EASY to talk to, and so very humble.

I can not say enough good things about Kristin! Throughout the entire wedding process, I told all my friends and family that everyone needs a Kristin. She took our vision for our wedding day and curated details that felt so true to us as a couple beyond anything we could have imagined. My husband and I got married in April, and people still come up to us and say how beautiful the day was our guests truly had no complaints. Every one of the vendors Kristin found for us was excellent she truly has a team of professionals who go above and beyond for their couples and exude the same level of attention to detail, professionalism, and kindness. We will always be grateful for her kindness and patience with us throughout the whole process. From florals to wedding invites to our custom horseshoe board to the food, everything felt like such a reflection of us as a couple that we could not have put together without her expertise. We heard so many times that planning a wedding is stressful from other couples, and we could not relate because Kristin made it so fun to plan our wedding, and these pictures are such a reflection of all the love and hard work that went into the day from Kristin. Thank you, Kristin, for everything you did for us, everyone needs a Kristin!

I worked with Kristin for many years and got to see the inside working of how she did things and I knew I couldn’t have anyone else oversee my daughter’s wedding. She is absolutely amazing! She is efficient. She is quick. She understands a budget and respects it while also finding you everything you could want in need. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Kristin was absolutely amazing to work with. I was planning our wedding from out of state and was so nervous about all the wedding details not knowing many places in Charlottesville. Kristin was so great with giving me choices of vendors in many price ranges. She was willing to meet with me anytime I needed and was very responsive. My wedding was everything I could have ever dreamed of thanks to all her hard work.

She was amazing! We could not have made this wedding happen without her help.

Our wedding truly would not have come together if it were not for Kristin. She and her team went above and beyond their contracted duties to bring our vision together. She was always the calm to my crazy and I really felt like I had known her for years. She has amazing attention to detail and her creativity and eye for design are unbeatable. We love you, Kristin! Thank you for being our wedding fairy godmother :)

Kristin was so amazing to work with! She brought to life every idea that we had dreamed of for our wedding day, but exceeded our expectations. She was so knowledgeable, had ideas when we had none, and made sure our day ran smoothly. Not only is she an amazing planner, but she is such a genuine, caring person. I am so thankful to have found her and will forever recommend her to anyone who will listen!

Guys! Are you looking to save your marriage before it starts? Then you need kristin! She was able to take the pressure off of our shoulders which allowed us to enjoy the planning process without the stress. She was able to manage the vendors and defend us when issues came up! With her experience and help we were able to have the wedding of our dreams.

Kristin was amazing to work with when planning our wedding at king family vineyards. From the first phone call to the end of the wedding, she made sure she was available to answer questions, help make decisions and even went out of her way to get stuff printed for us and let us use her decorations she has in her inventory. Her and her team made our actual wedding a day a breeze and stress free. Her knowledge and experience is unmatched! I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone without any hesitation.
