Flexible and Reliable

Kimberley at Silver Thistle Events was amazing to work with. From our initial conversations, it was clear that she was going to work with us to make our vision for our wedding come true. Kimberley had a number of great relationships with vendors that we were able to tap into through her and she worked just as well with the vendors that we hired that she had not previously worked with.

She tirelessly worked with us and our vendors when we had to move our initial wedding date and make adjustments as we changed our guest count.

By the time the day of our wedding finally arrived, we know we could trust Kimberley to handle any and all of the challenges of the day. We can’t believe how much we were able to just enjoy our wedding without sweating the small stuff.

So thankful we found Silver Thistle

We booked Silver Thistle three months before our wedding. COVID had just chucked our plans for Big Sur out the window and we had just finalized our new venue closer to home which had used a big chunk of our budget. I was ready to settle on whatever generic vendors that would allow me to finalize everything on time. Our photographer suggested we chat with Kim before giving up on our vision for our big day.

Kim was offering a package for small weddings that included her design and planning expertise, reception rentals, florals, and catering which sounded like a god send on our tight timeline. Though her pricing was very fair and competitive for the market, we hesitated to hand over what was basically the rest of the money we had allotted for the wedding. After pouring over her portfolio and asking her five million questions, we agreed on the package.

BEST DECISION EVER. Kim took my hodge podge wedding pinterest board (I had pictures from Lord of the Rings and some opium dens in there) and turned it into our dream wedding. She knew within one meeting the exact vendors that matched our tastes and personalities. She truly listens and engages when she speaks with you. She doesn’t try to force any of the conventional ideas of a wedding and is only interested in what fits who you are as a couple. If we aren’t sure of an idea, she has three more to replace it. I cried the day she sent over her vision board- it was such a relief to have chosen the right person to hand our big day over to. Planning our wedding suddenly became fun again instead of a giant weight. We were blown away by the tasting at the catering team she had chosen. I think my mouth literally fell open when we met the florist and saw what she had collaborated with them on for our table centerpieces. When we asked her to recommend a good band- we booked the one she suggested without even hearing them first. That is the level of trust she created.

Seeing everything come together on our wedding day gave me such peace. There weren’t any details to worry about- she was on it. Instead, I got to concentrate on celebrating the lifelong commitment I was making with my best friend. Not everything went off without a hitch (to be expected when you enlist your family members instead of professionals to be the officiant, makeup artist, hair stylist, and emcee), but Kim quickly dealt with any hiccups efficiently and behind the scenes. Our reception was hands down the most beautifully decorated venue I have ever seen. This woman is gifted! All of our guests told us all night that it was so “us”. Every detail felt right and purposeful. Everyone raved about the food and one table actually asked for seconds-at a wedding! The florals were dark and moody and dripping from everything. The band had every single person on the dance floor. Once our night reached an end, we received a hundred photos Kim had secretly taken on her phone throughout the day-knowing our photographer wouldn’t be able to get us any for a while and we would want them. She is so in tune with what is important to couples.

I can promise that you will not regret placing your trust in Silver Thistle. Our planning experience turned from a burden into a source of joy and excitement the moment Kim stepped in. You don’t have to do it all alone, and you don’t have to sacrifice your vision. Kim is like a combination of cool aunt and fairy god mother and she is there to make it all better.

Better than I could have imagined

Kimberley, and Silver Thistle Designs, gave me and my now husband the most beautiful, true-to-our-style elopement I could have ever imagined. When I first started talking with Kimberley, she asked me to send her a pinterest board of inspiration for my day, and she took it from there. When I tell you that she surpassed all of my expectations, I mean she surpassed ALL of my expectations- the bouquet, the cake, the set up- all of it was a combination of all of my favorite elements from my board, but somehow better. Not only that, but Kimberley was such an incredible comfort to have from the start- she touched base with us consistently from the second we reached out to her until the moment she handed us coffee on our return from our sunrise hike on the day of our elopement. Kimberley has such a calming presence, and was a constant source of reassurance that things were handled which took so much stress off of us so that we really could just sit back and enjoy our day.

Pictures tell a thousand words, especially when it comes to design, but I’ll try my best to paint a picture of the day that Kimberley created for us. After our sunrise elopement, which Kimberley supplied the most STUNNING bouquet for, she met us at a beautiful secluded beach nestled between the mountains, where she had set up a picnic laid with geometric blankets and wicker baskets. We ate pastries and fruit and sipped our coffees, and it allowed us to have such a beautiful moment to soak in our day, and we are eternally grateful for those memories.

Later that day, we headed out to the COOLEST luxury campsite that Kimberley helped us find, had dinner, and then walked back down to our tent where Kimberley had set up the most incredible cake stand and floral arrangement. We danced to Coldplay, we ate cake off of each other’s faces, and we read letters from our friends and family. We laughed, we cried, we tripped over my dress. At the end of it all, with Kimberley’s help, our day became so much more than what we had thought of as a typical elopement. Instead, it became a day filled with all of our favorite traditions, framed by beautiful details, that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
