Amazing from start to finish
Kristin and John made simple the long, arduous process of planning and executing a wedding. They were incredibly responsive and flexible in the months leading up to the wedding and on the day of, we were able to count on them to keep the whole ceremony going smoothly. While all brides and grooms are kept busy during the wedding, Kristin went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and had some time to ourselves in the midst of all the chaos. The day went perfectly in part because Kristin and John helped us stay on top of everything!

I’m as type A as it comes and like to oversee everything, but Kristin and team thought of every detail and kept everything running down to the minute. Very pleased!

Worth their weight in gold!
Booking Kristin was hands down the best decision I made during wedding planning! I hired her as a day of coordinator, but she served as so much more. She was always available to provide recommendations and helped me handle numerous situations with less than ideal changes and situations with multiple vendors. She was so patient and thorough during meetings before the wedding day to make sure all of my questions were answered. On the wedding day, her and her team were worth their weight in gold! From fixing my bouquet before the ceremony to managing my veil during outdoor portraits, Kristin was always right where I needed her. John, her assistant, was also incredible. He made sure my husband and I and both of our families were taken care of on the day, including bringing hors d'oeuvres and drinks from our cocktail hour to us wherever we were while taking pictures on the golf course. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true and it was due entirely to Kristin and her team! She came highly recommended from a friend and it isn’t hard to see why!
