I had the absolute pleasure of working with Kristen Delano for our wedding, and I must say, she truly made our special day an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Kristen's dedication to ensuring our wedding went off without a hitch was evident. Her coordination skills were nothing short of remarkable, as she flawlessly managed every detail of the event.
What really stood out to me about Kristen was her unwavering presence throughout the entire process. It seemed as if she had an uncanny ability to be everywhere at once, making sure every aspect of the day was running smoothly. Whether it was managing vendors, coordinating the timeline, or simply being there to calm our nerves, Kristen was always right by our side.
Her years of experience in the industry were truly evident in the way she handled even the most unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency. No problem was too big for her to tackle, and her solutions were always thoughtful and creative. But beyond her professional prowess, it was Kristen's positivity and high emotional intelligence that truly set her apart. In the midst of the inevitable wedding planning stress, her upbeat demeanor was a breath of fresh air that kept us grounded and excited.
Kristen's ability to understand not only the logistics but also the emotions tied to such a significant day was truly remarkable. She seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them ourselves. This level of attention and care made us feel not just like clients, but like friends.
In a nutshell, Kristen Delano is an exceptional wedding coordinator who goes above and beyond to make dreams come true. Her flawless execution, combined with her genuine positivity and profound emotional intelligence, make her an invaluable asset to any couple embarking on the journey of planning their wedding. We are endlessly grateful for Kristen's dedication, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a seamless, joy-filled wedding day. -

Most people say that wedding planning is stressful and overwhelming. If you’re looking for the exact opposite experience, go with Kristen!!!! It was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. From day 1 she was there to help with every detail and answer every question. And for procrastinators like my husband and I, she kept us right on track and on budget!!! Kristen never made us doubt a single decision we made and supported us through the whole process. She truly became a friend to us and we couldn’t be more thankful. We wish we could give more than 5 stars!!! -

I could not have planned our wedding without Kristen! When we first met with Kristen, I was looking for partial planning or day of event management but after sharing some roadblocks early in our wedding planning process she mentioned her full-service planning and I was sold.
Having Kristen allowed me to enjoy the wedding planning process and I looked forward to every meeting with her! She came prepared with a list of questions, vendor decisions, and kept us on track with our budget. Her online planning portal kept things incredibly organized, and it was an easy way for me to track what was happening, how things were progressing and track the budget.
Kristen found all our vendors and negotiated the vendor rates to meet our budget and save us money. She communicated with them regularly and made sure they were all set for the big day! Our venue was a challenging one and she kept things professional but persisted through roadblocks to stay true to our vision and make our day perfect!
Our wedding day was stress-free and seamless. The day before, there was ceremony location switch and I barely even noticed. The day of our wedding, there was an issue with the flowers, but I never knew until after she solved the problem. I was able to enjoy the whole day with family and friends.
In addition to her wedding planning services, she offered her inventory of décor items to help us save on costs. This included easels for signs, pictures frames, card box, candle holders, and table numbers. These little costs add up, but Kristen came to the rescue again saving us more money!
I cannot praise Kristen and her work enough. If you need a wedding planner, Kristen is the one you want! -

Hiring Kristen was hands down the best decision we made surrounding the wedding in general. From day 1, she was on our team about everything. She made a sincere effort to get to know us, find out what was important to us, and help us create a day that reflected on who we are as people and as a couple. She always made us feel so validated, remembered all of the details that we mentioned (months later would call back to things we had mentioned in our early meetings), and identified vendors that we had never heard of despite our hours of what we thought was very diligent research. Once we saw how well-connected she is with the vendors in the area, we knew that we could trust her implicitly to identify vendors and rentals that would align with our vision. Kristen handled communications with all of our vendors, negotiated for us, and kept an eye on the budget. She met with us as frequently as we wanted and made it clear to us that she was always available by any method of communication.
Kristen truly went above and beyond the call of duty (she had multiple phone calls with various members of our family). At the wedding itself, we had so many people comment on how kind, thorough, communicative, and effective she was. Kristen and her team set up the space for our reception and it looked UNBELIEVABLE and way exceeded our expectations. Don’t miss out on having Kristen involved with your wedding, she will make your life a million times easier. -

Working with Kristen has been the best decision we have made in planning our wedding. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Her design style is stunning. Her ability to focus our scattered ideas and vision into a cohesive plan showcases her brilliance. Don't even get me started on her organization. She has taken an immeasurable amount of stress off of our plates and has done so with grace. We feel so fortunate to have her as such an integral part of our wedding.
I don't know if we will ever truly be able to express our gratitude for everything she has done thus far. We can't wait to see the details come to life in a few months!

Amazing!
Where to begin? Working with Kristen was a beyond wonderful experience. Her kindness and professionalism throughout the entire planning process blew us away. I am a hyper organized person, but did not have the time to dedicate to our wedding that was needed to execute our vision. Kristen not only matched my detail-oriented brain, but she elevated every aspect of our original vision. I looked forward to every single meeting with her and was giddy with excitement at the end of each one. She brought so much life and joy to every aspect of the planning process and carried that energy through our wedding day.
On the day of our wedding the weather was increasingly looking like the rain would hold off, roughly 45 minutes before our ceremony was set to start the weather turned. Kristen and Jay seamlessly transitioned our ceremony to be indoors. It was perfect and beautiful, complete with a full-on thunder and lightning storm! We were able to relax and soak in every minute of the day, knowing Kristen had absolutely every detail under control. Kristen is wildly talented, fun, warm, and unflappable. She handled the entire day with such grace and we are forever grateful to her for everything she did to make our wedding day beautiful. -

I cannot put into words how amazing Kristen is! She made every single one of my visions come true. She is so professional and does an amazing job at making sure everyone knows what to do and where to be. She had an answer and fix to every problem that came her way. I had a hard time letting go of the reigns but quickly realized I was in great hands. Not only did she clean up after the wedding so that we wouldn’t have to wake up to mess but she also ran to her car to get materials to fix my bustle mid wedding. As you can tell I cannot say enough about her but I cannot recommend her enough. I would say the top vendor I had by far! -

Blackwater Events (Kristen) is AMAZING!!
We are beyond grateful for the exceptional work done by Kristen for our campground wedding weekend in New Hampshire. She really went above and beyond in creating our dream wedding!
She worked with us tirelessly to transform our rustic camp wedding (on a 50 degree weekend in June!) into a beautiful wedding venue that all of our friends and family are still hailing as the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
Despite weather disruptions on our wedding day, and other uncontrollable variables, we didn't need to stress one moment as Kristen had a plan B for everything! Even on the wedding day we had to pivot from the plan A and the plan B and, still, Kristen made it all happen and our back-up plan to our back-up plan was perfect.
We weren’t the easiest or most organized in months leading up to the wedding, with multiple work trips and competing priorities, and Kristen definitely kept us on track for our big day.
Kristen’s organization, attention to detail, creative ideas, and powerful execution skills truly made our special day magical. We genuinely enjoyed working with Kristen and now miss our regular contact :)
Thank you Kristen for turning our vision into reality and creating memories that will truly last a lifetime. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone considering her exceptional services.
