I had a great time working with Krista

Krista and her associate, Ellie, were fantastic to work with. Like most weddings, a ton of things went wrong but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't been told because they were on top of everything just making it work.

I'm not sure how I'm going to get all my decorations to the venue the morning of my wedding because I can't store them there the night before? That's fine, Krista can swing by my house the morning of to collect all the stuff. My DIY arches wouldn't stand up because they're front heavy and the spikes I supplied wouldn't work? That's ok, they've got fishing wire to keep them standing and you can't even see the wire. I forgot to pack the floating candles to go inside my hurricane vases? They put extra flowers to float in them instead and you can't even tell that it wasn't on purpose.

Like I said, a lot went wrong but there was always a solution for everything that worked flawlessly. I didn't have a care in the world on my wedding day and I know for a fact a large part of that is because of this team. No one asked me any questions or needed me for anything, and any time I had an issue all I had to do was look for Krista or Ellie, tell them what's going on, and then immediately go back to having a good time.

I've already recommended Krista's team to friends who were looking for a wedding coordinator, and you can bet if I ever throw a vow renewal I'll be hiring them again.

Must hire! Amazing and professional!

Krista and her assistant Pam were absolutely amazing. She made our wedding go so smoothly and was always available to talk when we needed her. My wife and I are so thankful to have found her. She truly has become not just "our wedding coordinator ", but a friend we will always have. Thank you again for everything!

Have the Best Day, Hire Paper Jewels Events

Krista is hands down the best wedding coordinator out there! She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was the best day of our lives. My wife and I got married in early July of 2022 and we hired Krista to be our day of coordinator. Our ceremony was at Centennial Park in Coronado and our reception was at the University Club in downtown San Diego. We had a lot of moving pieces and multiple vendors setting up at both locations. Paper Jewels Events flawlessly coordinated everything at both venues to ensure that everything was picture perfect. She truly got to know us during our meetings before the big day and in by doing so, was able to help us make crucial decisions in the planning process so that by the day of the wedding, everything was set in place and we got to kick back and just enjoy the day. I truly cannot recommend her enough, if you want your wedding to be the best day of your lives and to not have to worry about a thing during the day, hire Paper Jewels Events!

Exactly who you want running your day

Krista is beyond phenomenal. She helped us get through a postponement, planning during Covid, and was by our side way beyond her job description. She put up with the million emails and questions I sent and validated all of my concerns. She kept us calm through all of the crazy unknowns and helped us navigate difficult conversations with the venue. During the wedding day, she put out fires quietly and with a smile. My whole family fell in love with her. She is simply a lovely human being and exactly who you want surrounding you on your wedding day. I am so so so grateful for her! Thank you, Krista, for helping us pull off our dream wedding!

Johnson Wedding

Paper Jewels Events, in terms of service, attention to detail, professionalism, and finished product, provided my wife and I, the event we could only dream of. Her absolute attention to detail and her ability to produce what we wanted for our event was stunning. She was so attentive and understanding of our needs and wants. We struck gold in hiring her! Highly recommend!!

Full service wedding/bridal shower coordinator

If you want your day to be amazingly special, Krista is your lady! We hired her and her staff to help plan my daughters bridal shower and wedding. From day one I knew she was going to be my rock through all of this. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are impeccable. She made my daughters dreams become reality and for that I will be forever grateful. From the beautiful invitations she made to her wonderful interaction with other vendors, she aims to please. This mother of the bride was cool, calm and collective on my daughters special day. Best money I’ve ever spent!! Ive included a few pictures from the wedding and the shower.

Worth her weight in Gold!!!

Having the course to plan a wedding long distance until I moved to my husband's country, it was pertinent for us to find someone who could help us co-ordinate and pull together a lot of the moving parts prior to and on the wedding day itself! Finding Krista was like finding a gem... true to her business name 'Paper Jewel Events'. We hired Krista for the 'Month of Co-ordaintion' services and this was one investment that was the BEST decision my husband and I made. Krista entertained video calls and long emails until I was able to meet her in person. She has a welcoming demeanour, very flexible, accommodating and supportive. It was like planning your wedding with your close friend. She had great advice, was open to referring some other great vendors where needed, creative, professional and responsive to communication. Everyone at our wedding complimented on how smooth things went on the day and our family was so grateful they didn't have to lift a finger before, during or even after (for clean up) but instead could really enjoy the celebration. Not only does Krista co-ordinate the heck out of an event but she even did some of our stationery (signage, menus, programs and seating arrangement) as an all-inclusive element in her services. Like WOW! She was able to deliver and implement the vision we had for our day and this girl rocked!! In all honesty she needs to charge more for the Fantastic work she delivered. Worth her weight in Gold! And I'm thankful for having found her! If she is available for your event ...don't hesitate, book her now!

Excellent review!

Krista made our day perfect! We had an unexpected rain storm day of wedding and she worked with staff at the venue to make it beautiful dedpite the weather. All the time keeping the bride, groom, vendors and guests calm. Always gave valuable input. Super attentive. Extremely reliable and dedicated. We could not have asked for better person to be at our side.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
