Great experience with Kiersten McGinn
I highly recommend Kiersten for your wedding coordinator. She was very helpful, communicative and understanding with all of our changes. There are so many details we would have missed had Kiersten not been working with us.I highly recommend Kiersten for your wedding coordinator.

Love Kiersten!!
Kiersten is great! She is so friendly, warm and welcoming. She always helped us feel at ease and we had complete and total confidence in her, no matter the task. Kiersten is very easy to work with, an important characteristic for a coordinator! She is also incredibly kind and offers a ton of support to make sure your wedding day goes according to plan. I felt so sure that Kiersten would handle all deliveries, details and decorations for us to allow us to be stress-free on our wedding day! She is also very aware of timing and keeping things moving along smoothly (even though my family tried to test that with long speeches!). We were in very close contact leading up to the wedding and going over all details to make sure we were organized and on the same page. I would highly recommend Kiersten - she's great and offers her services at a reasonable price point. :) She also has a collection of decorative items which are available for you use, which was something I found very unique and valuable so we weren't "wasting" tons of money on decorations specific to one day.Kiersten is great!

Excellent experience with Kiersten!
Kiersten was organized, available for communication throughout the planning process and stayed through the whole wedding to help with set-up, clean up, and everything in between! The last thing I wanted was to be stressed on my wedding day and she made sure this didn’t happen! Thank you Kiersten!!!Kiersten was organized, available for communication throughout the planning process and stayed through the whole wedding to help with set-up, clean up, and everything in between!

Mother of the Groom
We hired Kiersten during Covid. My son and new daughter in law's wedding changed drastically from a wedding at a resort for 280 guests to a backyard of 48. She responded quickly and jumped right in with less than two months from the new wedding date. She was very responsive and had several great ideas to help us with our drastically changed wedding plans. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond what we hired her to do. She took on responsibilities that were not hers and did all that she could to make the day special for the bride and groom. I could not have asked for anymore from her, especially with the circumstances that we were dealing with. I would highly recommend Kiersten!We hired Kiersten during Covid.

Perfection!
Kiersten SPOILED us!! We did next to nothing for my wedding day other than picking out decor and details! She did all the communicating, all the planning!! She’s super flexible! We worked out a payment plan! We switched from day of only to full planning and she had NO complaints. She was super loving and caring. She gets close to her clients and she’s a pleasure to work with! She’s become another family member to us! And we will use her for any future events!Kiersten SPOILED us!!

Kiersten was amazing to work with!
Kiersten did an amazing job! Kiersten was so sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. We hired her about 2 months out for a wedding of about 50 guests, with 10 outside vendors plus the venue.
Kiersten jumped right in, speaking in person and via phone with us and all the vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. She asked questions of us that we had not previously thought of. About a week before, she came to us & picked up ALL the stuff we wanted to take to the venue & transported it there for us. Kiersten let us use several decor items she had in her inventory.
The day-of, Kiersten arrived early & stayed late! She bounced back and forth making sure both of us were relaxed & didn’t need anything. She made sure the flowers got to each of us in the morning, carried a bag of post ceremony stuff for us, & helped the photographers get us where we needed to be. At the venue she worked behind the scenes to ensure our vision was carried out perfectly! Kiersten helped the florist decorate the venue, which looked beautiful! At the end of the night, she quietly packed up all of our stuff and took it home for us. We didn’t have to worry about a thing!
Kiersten was very responsive to calls, texts, & emails. We had not thought of hiring a day-of planner until towards the end, but are so glad we did! Kiersten was awesome to work with & we highly recommend her! We wish We would have hired her from the beginning!Kiersten did an amazing job!

Best Wedding Planner Around!
Kiersten is hands-down the best wedding coordinator out there!! She delivered on all promises and went way above and beyond. My wife, Lucy, found her when looking through many options for this service. Kiersten's friendly attitude, extensive experience in this space, tons of resources on hand, and assistance with many other aspects of our wedding were incredibly appreciated. Without her our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly or been as fun - her services are totally clutch! She is the absolute best and can't recommend her highly enough!Kiersten is hands-down the best wedding coordinator out there!! She delivered on all promises and went way above and beyond.

Everything went off without a hitch
I would highly recommend Events By Kiersten! My wife and I, were pretty laid back when it came to the wedding planning, and didn't think we would need any help, since we weren't doing anything over the top. We are so glad we found Kiersten, because there was no way we would have made it through the wedding day without her. When we had our first conference call, when deciding who to book, she stood out hands down above the rest. She was interested about us and our needs, rather than having her own plan and agenda like some companies that we talked to. We hired her with only a month before the wedding, and were so happy that we did. She asked us and vendors questions that we would have never thought to ask. We had no worries or unrelated stress due to vendors or timing, because of Kiersten. She is great, and so helpful! She did an amazing job for us, and was available at all hours of the day, so there was never any disconnect. We loved how our wedding turned out, and a lot of that was because of Events By Kiersten.I would highly recommend Events By Kiersten!

Absolute Wedding Lifesaver
My now husband and I hired Kiersten just ONE WEEK before our wedding. We had been doing most of the planning on our own from across the country and as our special day approached we quickly realized we were a tad in over our heads. I reached out to Kiersten and she was immediately responsive and totally on board. She dove right and in absolutely took the reins without stall. She organized and reached out to all of our vendors, she coordinated their arrival time, their parking, their set up and their meals. She decorated our cocktail hour and reception hall with all of the small signs and decorations that we had as well as some that she provided for us. Our wedding day was spectacular and magically and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves, she truly made our day come to life! She even had my flats ready when she saw I was done dancing in heels!! She was an absolute lifesaver. She came with a wedding day emergency kit, her own running shoes and a big smile. She worked her A** off for us and we will be eternally grateful. WOULD 100% RECOMMEND.My now husband and I hired Kiersten just ONE WEEK before our wedding.

Flexible and Very Thorough
Kiersten was a fantastic wedding coordinator. My now husband and I got a great vibe from her right from the start. She walked through each part of the wedding planning process that we both knew she would be a part of plus any additional events that would help her get to know the vendors, wedding party, etc. Her schedule is very flexible. Any calls or meetings we had were very thorough and never rushed. We were CC'd in any emails she sent to any vendors and if I didn't have time to sort through them all, she would simply explain it all to me over the phone when I had time. She also handled my emotional episode before the rehearsal dinner very well and with a lot of compassion. So ladies and gents if you're looking for someone who is responsive to your wedding needs and can work with your busy schedule, then look no further. She is the best!Kiersten was a fantastic wedding coordinator. My now husband and I got a great vibe from her right from the start.

I recommend
I would recommend Events By Kiersten. At first I wasn't sure if I needed a day of wedding coordinator because my bridal party and family were willing to help and were super helpful the day of the wedding. However, even with the extra hands, there is just so much going on the day of the wedding and I absolutely needed Kiersten's help 😁 It really helped the day go very smoothly! I was so happy with how things went the day of my wedding and I had a lot of the stress taken away thanks to Kiersten!I would recommend Events By Kiersten.

The day would have not gone as well as it did without her.
Kiersten was the planner for my recent wedding and she was amazing. We had to move our wedding due to COVID and she helped us with everything along the way. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and Kiersten and her team made sure that everything was seamless. I am so thankful to have had her during our planning and wedding day. I am grateful for all the last-minute details that she was able to take care of so that I could enjoy every moment of our day. She was well organized and great to work with.Kiersten was the planner for my recent wedding and she was amazing.

Do not hire her!
a wedding coordinator is supposed to decrease your anxiety, not increase it! We hired Kiersten for the final month of our planning. . When we were 2 weeks out from our wedding, we got no reply to emails, texts or phone calls. We had to do our vendor timelines by ourselves plus all other details. We were completely overwhelmed, but we did it all. We tracked her down through some investigating and found out she had an emergency, but no one had contacted us. Kiersten then called us 1 day before our rehearsal to say she was ready to help us. At that point, we could not have her at the wedding because we did everything already and it would just have caused us more stress. We had no trust in her. After the wedding we asked for some reimbursement because she did do a few things prior to disappearing. She refused to give us any money back and stopped answering us again. I would not trust her for 1 second.a wedding coordinator is supposed to decrease your anxiety, not increase it! We hired Kiersten for the final month of our planning. .
