As a wedding photographer I am directly affected by how good or bad the wedding planner is... and Kristina is terrific! She is incredibly professional, organized and positive. Getting everything in order before the big day is one part of her work, she gathered vendors months in advance and made sure we were all on the same page. But the day of is critical, there is so much going on behind the scenes and keeping the couple happy and calm PLUS maintaining a friendly and helpful demeanor isn't easy. Kristina does it with ease! She is a pleasure to work with, not just a great planner but also a lovely person. I have had the pleasure of working alongside her at two weddings now, both days were a success from start to finish and I am sure the photos were also better because of how smooth things went. Thank you Kristina, I look forward to teaming up again soon!

I used Kristina Taheri as my wedding planner last spring. She was amazing! Very efficient, attention-to-detail, and organized. During the wedding planning process, I had a lot on my plate outside of the wedding that was really slowing me down, but Kristina kept me right on track from beginning to end. I couldn't of done it without her. She also put me in touch with almost all of my vendors, which were all amazing as well. Kristina has stunning taste, very chic. I trusted her implicitly to help capture the vision I had for my wedding and she delivered 100%. The day of my wedding was absolutely flawless and I attribute a lot of that to Kristina. People tell you that there will always be issues that come up the day of your wedding and you just have to roll with it. I can honestly say that wasn't the case for me. There were essentially no problems the day of. Everything was seamless. She kept us on schedule down to the second and I didn't have to worry about anything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Five stars across the board!!

Kristina was wonderful to work with throughout the whole planning process. First, she has great vendors that she recommends. Plus she does really well having all the vendors work together so that the entire event runs smoothly. The day of the event she and her assistants were wonderful and took care of most everything so that we could enjoy the entire day and evening. I loved getting her opinion on all my crazy ideas. She helped me turn those crazy ideas into reality while trying to stay within budget. Kristina was a pleasure to work with, always with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She has turned into a friend after the whole process and we miss conversing with her on a regular basis. I completely recommend working with her for your special event!

There wasn't a vendor or service where we had to do research on our own or vet multiple choices from Kristina. Each vendor was a winner! Kristina works with the best and truly listens to put together all you need to have a success & wonderful day. Working with Kristina was a breeze and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her! She is a delight and a true professional. I highly recommend working with Kristina for your wedding or event!

Kristina was a delight to work with, and she was so professional too! She dealt with my somewhat bridezilla-like dad without breaking a sweat, and kept all of our planning organized to a tee -- all of which made for a beautiful and fun- and love-filled wedding day!

There is no hesitation.
Be clear what your expectations are as always.
Kristina really knows when to back you on your ideas and when to suggest something else as an alternative.
She is also very enjoyable to be around and to work with.

My only regret is that I did not contract with them to do MORE! Kristina is top notch. The best of the best. She has an amazing eye and impeccable attention to detail. If you want a truly unique and personalized event, this is the company to use. No cookie cutters here!

If you are looking for a consummate professional who also happens to be a wonderful person who is delightful to work with, then you've found your event planner! I have nothing but fabulous things to say about Kristina Taheri, who was the planner for our September 2016 wedding in the Chicago suburbs. The reception was held at my parents' house, so planning the event and making sure everything came together seamlessly was no small task. We absolutely could not have pulled off our dream wedding—it was truly perfect!—without Kristina. She recommended great vendors and then helped us coordinate with our various vendors once we chose them; she went to bat for us when we needed her to; and she ensured all the details came together beautifully, especially in the few weeks and final days leading up to the wedding. Through it all, she was a joy to work with: she eliminated the stress of wedding planning, brought great ideas to the table, and was so much fun. You will not find a better planner for your next big event!

Andrew and I weren't "into" planning our wedding. We are both incredibly busy and just didn't have the time to get it done. We had a mixed bag of ideas of what we thought we wanted it to look like, and we really let Kristina and her team take the reins. Andrew and I tasted some cake, and figured out what cocktails we wanted to serve- and that was about it. The evening was spectacular, everyone partied hard, and Andrew and I did nothing but walk in. I work in the event industry and you can spend a lifetime finding an event manager as classy, on-point, and as helpful/knowledgeable as Kristina. This is not an area that you want to skimp on during your wedding, and she is worth her weight in gold.

Kristina is an absolute joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. She's amazingly responsive, responsible, flexible, positive and meticulous. I fell in love with her style and work ethic from the first day we met. I'm very grateful for all her hard work and doing an amazing job with my wedding of 200+ guests. Everything was beautiful, smooth and stress free (for me :)). She took care of it all.
Thank you Kristina.
