    Best decision for our wedding day!

    Kristi is THE BEST! Thank you to Kristi and the team for helping our wedding day go so smoothly. Kristi was always a phone call away when I needed her in the planning process. She made us feel comfortable during the process and even more so on our wedding day. I am so glad we chose her team to help us with our Chapel/WaterColor wedding. From helping secure the best vendors in the area to the little details like sending us off on our wedding night with all the snacks/meals, hiring this team is the best decision you'll make for your 30A wedding!

    Love her heart

    Kristi and I bonded on the phone. She bought in to our wedding,....but more so she LISTENED to our thoughts and budget. I loved her heart for our dreams. On a very thunderstorm filled Wedding morning that wasn’t hopeful.....she worked diligently to change venues day of the wedding!!! She heard our thoughts from the very beginning. I felt very blessed to have known her as our planner....but also as a friend. The entire wedding was more than we could’ve ever dreamed for. The joy on our daughter’s face during the evening was so gratifying. Because of Kristi....it all happened. I would recommended her with with 50 stars if you offered!

    I hit the jackpot

    Oh my gosh …I hit the jackpot when I hired Kristi to do my wedding!! She has the kindest most sweetest way about her but don’t let that fool you. She was so efficient and handled things for my special day with such ease and authority. We were going to have my wedding on the beach but last minute it had to move over to a rooftop and I could not of been happier. She made it all happen with not an issue at all. She is a “PRO”. Anyone having their wedding on 30/ A …she’s the one to hire !!

    Would do it over and over again if we could!

    If you're getting married on 30A, Kiss the Bride is the WAY TO GO! When planning our Seaside wedding from the comfort of our home in Indiana, we knew we needed someone who could take care of all the details leading up to the big day while we were hundreds of miles away. From the moment we met Kristi, we just knew we were in amazing hands. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, listened to all my crazy aspirations, and executed flawlessly. Due to numerous postponed Covid weddings, KTB had multiple weddings each weekend leading up to ours, yet she never skipped a beat. The planning process was a dream, but the real treat was the day of the wedding. My mother and I got to enjoy the day to the fullest and didn't even give a second thought to what was going on around us in terms of set up/logistics because we knew Kristi had it handled. When I walked into our reception, I was BLOWN away. My entire vision came to life better than I could have ever imagined. Kristi then spent her weekend night making sure our night was as it should be -- the best night of our lives! We can't thank Kristi and Taylor enough for all the hard work they put in from day one. Wedding planning was easy with KTB and we'd do it over and over again if we could!

    She is the best around!

    If you are getting married in the Destin/30A area I highly recommend using Kristi for your planner! She is the best around! She was a tremendous help throughout the year-long process planning for my June wedding at Watercolor. I live in a different state so her relationships with the venues and vendors on 30A was so essential! She handled everything but always took my suggestions and concerns into account. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding such a breeze!

    The BEST! Highly recommend!

    Kristi was the best! I had a tornado come through the morning of my wedding and she still managed to make the day absolutely perfect. Throughout the whole engagement she was very hands on and made my job so much easier!! HIGHLY recommend!

    KTB is an awesome choice!

    Kristi is an absolute pro and the best in the business. She is incredibly kind and does a great job communicating with everyone involved: bride, parents, vendors, bridal party, guests, etc. She is well connected and knows the area vendors, we trusted her recommendations and it paid off! We also got discounted prices with other vendors by working with KTB. KTB was worth every penny and I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day because I knew Kristi and the team would take care of any issues that arose - and they did. If you are questioning using a wedding planner, do it and KTB is an excellent choice that you will not regret.

    The most perfect day of our lives!

    My family hired Kristi to help us plan my wedding because my (now) husband and I lived in Florida, and the rest of our family was all over the country. The very first conversation I had with her, we clicked. I knew this was the girl I NEEDED for my wedding. She rocked getting me set up with the absolute best vendors I could ever imagine, the best location, the best of everything.

    We had never planned to see a pandemic in our lifetime, but it hit and it hit us hard. Our original wedding date was May 2, 2020, and once things started closing we thought we were sunk. We were the furthest thing from that, and we had Kristi to thank for it all. She was constantly working, communicating, and staying positive for me, and was able to shift EVERY vendor to a new date.

    Even when we had everything changed, she was in constant communication with me asking if there was anything I needed, how I was doing, how my family was doing, etc. She became more than a wedding planner to us, she's a friend now. Something that I never thought would come out of this experience.

    The day of the wedding arrived after all of our shifting, and we had to shift again...the forecast predicted rain (it was originally a beach wedding). Kristi and the vendors we used kicked it into high gear (which I'm convinced she was always in), and moved to our backup location on the bay. She would send me sneak peeks to help me keep my cool, stopped in to check on me, and was always there with the biggest smile and positive outlook which is exactly what every bride needs. Even though we shifted, everything happens for a reason, and our wedding was more beautiful that I could've ever imagined. I loved it better than what I was originally thinking I was going to get.

    I can't say anything but positive things about Kristi and the vendors she works with. I put my full trust in her that everything was going to be okay, and it was honestly more beautiful than I ever imagined.

    If you're looking for this and more, please give her a call. She's the best. I love ya girl! Thanks for everything you've done and continue to do for us!

    Wedding of my dreams

    Kristi and her team are amazing! I could never say enough about Kristi and her team, they treat you like family. Kristi was to keep me calm throughout the whole day and kept checking in to make sure everything for my wedding was going as planned. She even was able to keep me calm and fix my dress when bustle broke. I would not have been able to pull off the wedding of my dreams without Kristi's help. I highly recommend Kristi and the Kiss the Bride team, they are all truly fantastic.

    Just book her already

    Kristi was a breath of fresh air from the moment we called and debated getting a wedding planner with her. She answered every call or text and always made time for us. We loved all of our vendors that she brought in.

    We appreciated her honesty with us and that she would think creatively when we said something was out of budget or uncontrollable changes occurred.

    Our wedding day was stress free for us and our families and truly embodied us. Kristi cares and loves her brides - she sat on the ground and bustled my dress for at least 10 minutes while sand was completely covering her and continuously made sure a drink was in our hands.

    If you are debating a planner for a destination wedding, don’t. Book Kiss the bride.

    The most perfect wedding ever

    I had the most perfect day ever and it wouldn’t be without Kristi from Kiss the bride! I live from Texas and was stressing with everything because I couldn’t see, or do anything but Kristi reached out to me and helped me, took over everything I had to handle and it was the best night of my life! Our day was perfect, ran smoothly and if I could relive it I would! She only wasn’t our coordinator but she became my friend! Thank you so much Kristi and Kiss the Bride! Y’all do amazing work!

    Thank you :)

    Kristi is an absolute rockstar & will make your day as seamless as possible. When you first meet with Kristi, you know that she absolutely loves what she does. She is passionate about working with brides & creating a lifetime of memories. I am so very grateful that we were able to work with Kristi & her team throughout the process and could not have done it without her. She has the best spirit and energy, which is most definitely needed on any wedding day. Best choice we could have made in an event planner & blessed to call her a friend.

    All about the bride!

    Kristi! Where do I begin!? From the first phone call of introductions I knew Kristi was the perfect wedding planner for me. Her excitement, passion, and interest in me, my story, and my wedding was infectious from the beginning. She is organized, knowledgeable about the area, and wants to take stress away from the bride and groom. She helped me plan a 125 person wedding weekend with a welcome bonfire, a perfect beach ceremony followed by the most detailed and stunning reception I have ever seen, and a farewell brunch. My guests (and me!) were blown away. Kristi made great vendor recommendations, kept a pulse on all the moving pieces, and most of all, made the day of my wedding stress free. She took care of it all - even held my purse and made sure my drink was always full. But more than that, Kristi really cared about me and my husband and our family. She laughed and cried with us during our big day and was a true friend through it all. I am so lucky to have found such an amazing planner and so grateful for the memories she helped us build.

    I cannot recommend Kristi and her team more. They truly are passionate about what they do and will make sure you are happy at every turn.

    Highly recommend!!

    We had a truly wonderful experience with
    Kristi of “Kiss the Bride”!! We worked with her for our wedding held at the Sandestin Hilton and she is a top-notch wedding planner. She has tons of experience and lots of practical knowledge. She is very professional but also super fun to work with!! We were really nervous about the weather for our outdoor beach wedding, but she kept her cool and kept her eye on the weather for us...she guided us to having our outdoor wedding ( which was beautiful💕) but helped me to make the call of the indoor cocktail hour, which was previously set for outside.....A great call because it start to rain shortly after.She tried very very hard to give the bride and groom a perfect wedding day. I would highly recommend Kristi and her staff at “Kiss the Bride”! You will not be disappointed

    Kristi and her team are truly amazing! Kristi is such an enthusiastic and passionate girl organizing everything just as perfect as it could be! All other girls are so lovely and considerate too. One girl (so sorry I forgot her name) handed a cup of water to me before walking down the aisle when I was extremely nervous. They definitely focused on every single detail. They emphasized they only wear black and pink(even their bags are pink too)-which make them so easy to be recognized at the venue. After the reception, they packed all of our decorations and sent them back to our room. They truly did an excellent job on our wedding️!!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristi and her team! We got married on 8/25/18 at the Hilton Sandestin. Our wedding coordinators, Kristi, Nicole and Emmeline, were amazing! They took care of everything and made the day completely stress free! They handled every detail with ease (even details I would have never thought of)! We had a last minute request to get a microphone at our Beach Bonfire the night before the wedding and they had it taken care of in minutes! Not only are they top-notch professionals, but they are the sweetest and most lovely people! They were truly a joy to be around! I was so relieved to be in such good hands during our wedding! If you are looking for a wedding planner/ coordinator in the Destin area, look no further!! They are the best!

    Kirsti is an absolute joy to work with. Her knowledge of the local vendors allowed me to feel at ease with her taking the rains and being the main contact for the vendors of our wedding and I could not be more grateful. Having one contact, instead of 4 or 10 takes the stress off of planning a destination wedding. She has such attention to detail and a knack for pulling it all together on the day of so that my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves.
    Well worth every penny and more!!!

    Kristi made planning a wedding 500 miles away so easy. She was there from the very beginning, from securing a venue for us to being there on the wedding day to coordinate any last minute details. She was always quick to respond to our emails and follow up on our wedding details. The wedding exceeded our expectations in every way because of Kristi!
