Stress-free, organized, lovely person
My experience with Kristin was AMAZING! I was so stressed about wedding planning — but then Kristin stepped in! She is so organized and responsive, which put my type A brain to rest. She covered every small detail of our wedding day, and thought of so many things that I never would have on my own. All of my other vendors loved working with her as well. She’s a great team player but will advocate for what is best for the bride and groom. She is 100% the reason why I was able to relax and have fun at my wedding and not stress about the logistics! -

Created our dream wedding!
Kristin is simply amazing! Before even signing a contract with Kristin she jumped in and started providing recommendations. Fast forward to planning with her throughout the year leading up to our wedding, she always had the answer or was willing to find the solution to what we wanted! We appreciated her expertise and the close relationships she has with so many vendors in the greater Charlottesville area and beyond. Kristin made our wedding day go seamlessly and went out of her way to make sure we were stress free. Kristin is forever a friend to us and we would hire her again for any planning we need! -

What an absolute breath of fresh air and energy it was to work with Kristin! Kristin was everything I never knew I needed when it came time to plan our wedding. Her depth and breadth of experience are unparalleled and obvious - without batting a lash, she connected me with the most incredible vendor team, anticipated and alleviated all of my anxieties throughout the whole process, and kept me sane and most importantly, excited. When I didn’t think I had a vision, she skillfully pulled it out of me without me knowing it - and then executed it flawlessly. We wanted to focus on both throwing a party for our bicoastal family and friends, all while showing off the magic of Virginia…with an emphasis on supporting local and having a sustainable event. She made it all happen.
Above being such a joy to partner with during the planning process, Kristin really is just a great human. Kind, caring, empathetic, fun, and professional - anyone would be lucky to have the opportunity to have her make your wedding dreams come true! My only regret is not having a photo with her from the big day! -

Stress free, organized, and wonderful!
Kristin was so amazing to work with! She brought to life every idea that we had dreamed of for our wedding day, but exceeded our expectations. She was so knowledgeable, had ideas when we had none, and made sure our day ran smoothly. Not only is she an amazing planner, but she is such a genuine, caring person. I am so thankful to have found her and will forever recommend her to anyone who will listen! -

Best Wedding Planner in Charlottesville
I do not have enough good things to say about Kristin! We worked together for a year and a half for our May 2022 wedding and we had the wedding of our dreams! The day flowed seamlessly and I did not feel stressed or nervous at all leading up to the day knowing Kristin was handling everything! She has amazing taste, and knows the best and most cost effective vendors to work with! We received so many compliments on our day with some even stating it was the best wedding they had ever been to! We owe this all to Kristin! -

Worry Free Wedding Coordinator!!!
I found Kristin on social media long before I was engaged. She coordinates weddings in the Charlottesville and surrounding areas where my fiancé and I planned to be married and I knew I wanted a coordinator who had worked at my venue before. When we went to Valley Road Vineyards in Afton, VA to secure our date, they provided us with a recommended vendor list and Kristin was at the top of the list! I immediately reached out for pricing and the chance to connect. We had a great first convo – it was like talking to an old friend! I knew it would be a great fit.
Kristin recommended many vendors to me. She was never offended when/if I went with someone else. She worked well with vendors she had past relationships with and with vendors she was working with for the first time. One thing I liked was her contract talks about the amount of communication you will have with her, but this is flexible and she is willing to chat via many forms of communication. We had phone calls, but sometimes we would just shoot a quick text or email and she was ok with that which I appreciated!
Kristin knew exactly what was needed at the venue and would check in periodically with a “work on this” list – which I would ask for, and she really takes the reigns closer to the event. I spent the last few weeks focused more on making sure I had all my décor together rather than coordinating all the vendors, she handled all of that! We only had one on site visit which was great since I was traveling from Richmond and we were able to meet with the Caterer and VRV representative on this visit and map out everything. She was able to build my timeline and then share it with the DJ, Photographer and Videographer. She provided me with different ceremony options and reception set ups and again was easy to work with when I had a bit of a different vision then what was provided. Overall I think Kristin is a wonderful person and her years of experience in the industry helped make my day run smoother than I ever thought it could!! She was more than a day of coordinator for me, but took control of the whole event. I have so much gratitude for her time and dedication!

Kristin was the MVP of our wedding vendor dream team - through all the uncertainty, heartbreak, and changes due to the pandemic, she was there for us through it all. She kept us on track and helped us with details we would never have even thought about. She was mindful of our budget and made stellar recommendations to keep us on budget. She kept our day running without a hitch, and I didn't have to worry about a thing during the big day! It was such a relief to have her there, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Kristin! -

Could not imagine my wedding without Kristin!!
I did not know how many big and small details there are in planning a wedding!! Kristin recommended so many things that my mom and I did not even think about!! She was there from Start to finish!! The month of was the most stressful and I 100% know I would have been a mess if I did not have Kristin! She was in constant contact with ALL of my vendors to make sure everyone had the schedule and on the same page! Our entire wedding day went seamlessly (at least to me!!) If something did go wrong, Kristin handled it without letting me know!! She went above and beyond and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her to any Bride!!! -

We couldn't have been happier with Kristin's work to plan and coordinate our wedding. Our entire bridal party and suite of vendors took notice of her professionalism, attention to detail, and complete ownership of the day.
Day of, we got to just enjoy our time with family and friends and didn't have to lift a finger or think through a single logistic problem. The day went off without a single issue, and during Covid no less. Not many people can say that about their wedding day, but Kristin and her incredible team made it happen and took the changes and trials of the Covid planning process so smooth. We couldn't recommend her more! -

Best Wedding Planner Ever
Kristin did an amazing job of turning what could have easily been a disaster into a very lovely wedding. We had planned our wedding for April 2020, but rescheduled to August due to COVID 19. She was super helpful in making the appropriate adjustments to make sure our day was safe for our guests. On the day of the wedding, we experienced very heavy rainfall and had to move everything under tents. Despite these setbacks, everything ran very smoothly, guests were able to socially distance, and everything looked amazing. I am still so impressed by the attention to detail. She literally crafted decorations out of plants found around the venue because we had to cut our florist budget. She is very sweet and friendly and so easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend. -

I don't know where to begin singing Kristin's praises - our day was flawless and it was all because of Kristin and her team. All of the behind the scenes details were taken care of with expert care, and so many things I hadn't thought about that she took care of. I was able to relax and enjoy the day getting ready. In the lead up to the big day, Kristin was in touch with all of our vendors and coordinated tent arrivals, rentals, etc and took away all of my worries! I can't imagine not having Kristin and her team there. They ensured we were on time with the festivities and made us feel like royalty :) I want every bride (especially during COVID times!) to experience the joy of being taken care of Kristin and her team. I want to do it all over again! THANK YOU for all you did!!! We love you! Suze and David -

I have never before in any aspect of business found a person who truly cares about her clients more than Kristin. I’m not sure if the day was more important for my wife or for her. To say that she thinks of everything is an understatement. Her knowledge was only trumped by her attentiveness and effort throughout. She put my wife at complete ease throughout a very difficult process. She handled everything you could very imagine and many things that I certainly could not. To say I highly recommend Kristin would be a disservice to anyone who is looking for assistance. You would be simply foolish not to use her, she just made everything better. Thank you Kristin, you are like family and we cannot wait for another celebration you can plan for us!
