Stunning Wedding Planning from WBK!!
We were so blown away by the work of the Weddings By Kristy team! They were constantly in communication with us when we needed to hear from them, and a great support to always ask questions of. Our wedding went so smoothly and I am sure that it is due to the incredible work of this team. Even our other vendors commented on how organized and communicative our planning team was! They helped us source vendors for alterations, drapery, our fantastic DJ, and hair and makeup services, and had a great system for keeping track of all of our contracts and planning details. We would recommend WBK for both planning and day-of coordination- they made the day so easy for us that we didn't have to think about or remember anything, and it was an amazing day that went so well! -

Making our wedding day more special (and seamless) than we could've imagined!
If we learned anything throughout our wedding planning journey, it was this: Choosing a wedding coordinator is easily the most important decision you’ll make during the planning process, and we cannot recommend Weddings by Kristy highly enough.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Kristy wasn’t just "managing a project" — she was truly investing her time, energy and heart into making our October wedding in D.C. perfect.
Having only lived in D.C. for four years, we felt a bit like outsiders navigating the city’s massive wedding industry. We quickly realized we needed someone who knew the landscape inside and out. Kristy is incredibly experienced and well-versed in the best D.C. vendors. Her reputation preceded her and her team with everyone we hired. We completely relied on her expertise and trusted her judgment at every turn, and she never steered us wrong.
What makes Kristy and her team the "best of the best" is their ability to adapt to your needs:
- If you have a precise vision: They have the technical skill and organizational prowess to execute it flawlessly.
- If you’re like us: My husband and I honestly didn’t know where to start. We had a million questions about ALL the things. Kristy and Alexandra met us with patience, clarity and a calming presence that turned an overwhelming process into an enjoyable one. Truly, it ended up being way more enjoyable than stressful!
One of the highlights of working with Kristy was discovering our shared love for Taylor Swift. Beyond just being a fun bonding point, Kristy really embodies that "Mastermind" energy — ensuring our "Love Story" was told exactly right!
Our wedding was incredible, beautiful and reflected exactly who we are as a couple. If you want a coordinator who is as professional as she is personable, and who will treat your wedding with the same care as if it were her own, hire Weddings by Kristy! -

"Without a hitch" for getting hitched
Weddings By Kristy is a great group to work with. They offer a varying scale of services so you can really customize to what you want or need. I married a planner, so we just wanted a day-of coordinator, but I can safely say we got more than even that with them. They go above and beyond to help the couple feel supported. My favorite feature was their vendor communications: 3 months before the wedding they take over so you can focus on the day. They did a great job communicating between us and our venue, and made the whole day feel absolutely seamless. As a queer and trans couple, too, I never once felt othered. 11/10 recommend. -

Kristy & Team made our dream wedding
I really wanted and needed a queer-friendly wedding planner - my wife and I have different approaches to planning, and having Kristy let us know when we didn’t need to worry, and when we needed to work on wedding stuff, was a godsend. She’s direct and clear, she went over details thoroughly and often with us while taking so much work off our hands, and she has the experience to explain our options when we didn’t know we had them. She took the pressure off of a lot of decisions, and let us focus on the decisions and work that mattered to us. And when we had problems getting our custom escort cards printed, she printed them for us with her own printer - a GODSEND. Not only was the planning smooth and thorough, the event went off without a hitch - seriously, nothing went wrong AT ALL! I felt relaxed and focused on us, knowing Kristy and Alex were there. -

You'll Be Grateful You Hired Kristy
We had the wedding day of our dreams thanks to Kristy and her amazing team! We used her full planning service, which included expert guidance through brainstorming, budgeting (which she did for us after we sent her our priorities and vision), venue searches, vendor sourcing, vendor communication, timelines, and unlimited video and phone calls. We cannot tell you how incredibly helpful that last option was for us. In addition to staying on top of every planning detail, Kristy also recommended the most amazing vendor team to make the wedding day incredible. My wife was a self-proclaimed anxious bride and hiring Kristy helped both of us relax, knowing for certain that Kristy and her team had our backs. If anything went wrong on the wedding day, we still don’t know about it because Kristy handled it so well. Kristy thought of everything, which took such a load off of our minds -- we really loved working with her! -

Authentic, flawless and FUN
Kristy was so accommodating, kept us on task but also helped us dream big and make every detail meaningful to us. Our guests mentioned what a flawlessly executed event it was “the best wedding they’d been to” - credit goes to Kristy + amazing team. She helped us keep everything authentic! -

Perfectly organized and welcoming planner
We worked with Destiny at Weddings By Kristy for three months leading up to our wedding, and she was a huge help throughout the planning process. The biggest thing we needed was someone to help us manage the incredibly long to-do list and make the project less overwhelming, and we're really glad we had Destiny for that. Her organization and clear communication kept everything on track, especially in working with our vendor team to assemble the complete plan for the day. We were planning an east coast wedding from our home on the west coast, and on top of being flexible about the time difference, Destiny helped us make the most of the limited planning time we had on-site with the venue and caterer.
We had some unconventional ideas for our ceremony -- WBK was all about supporting our creative vision, but also knew when to raise practical logistics issues we hadn't considered, drawing on their experience from previous events to suggest changes that kept the heart of the idea intact while making the day a success. On the day, Kristy and her team were everywhere, coordinating with the venue and all the vendors to make sure everything happened the way it was supposed to. The whole team at WBK was also great about working with a nonbinary person, always respected pronouns, and very LGBTQ+ accepting. We're very happy to have worked with them! -

My son's backyard wedding
I want to share my wonderful experience working with Kristy planning my son's June 2025 backyard wedding. My son and fiancé had a vision for their wedding day and Kristy met every idea with enthusiasm and the resources to make it happen. Her organizational skills kept everyone up to date and on time making decisions and deadlines. Her advice and experience was invaluable. So many little details and she had suggestions for everything and anything. She is friendly and easy to work with!
The bottom line is that our summer backyard wedding went off without a single hitch. Every vendor she hired nailed it. The set up and clean up exceeded my expectations. We had a glorious wedding day and were able to enjoy the day without a care in the world, because Kristy was all over it. I will always be grateful we made the decision to hire Kristy to plan our son's wedding.

5 Stars - Grateful for WBK!
From the start, WBK was organized, experienced, and easy to communicate with. Kristy, Destiny, and the team were incredibly helpful in the months leading up to the wedding and especially on the day-of. They answered every question, guided us through the process, and handled the timeline and vendors seamlessly. They worked so well with our families and friends (including all the fun personalities we had on board), and truly made the day easier and more enjoyable. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend them! -

Kristy Was a Godsend
We’ve said it many times during the wedding planning process and we’ll continue to shout it to the hills: hiring Kristy and her team was the best decision we’ve ever made and the best money we’ve ever spent. From the consultation and throughout the entire process Kristy was lovely to work with and incredibly friendly and personal but also always on top of everything. She flagged so many little details that we never would have thought of but led to a much smoother wedding day. Her detailed resources, templates, and documents were invaluable, but she was also flexible when I needed to make my own spreadsheets to keep everything straight in a way that worked with my brain.
The timeline she created for us was a work of art and a thing of beauty and something I could have never done on my own. She included every single facet of the event from load in and load out for every vendor down to when we needed to bring our checkbook. Handing communications with vendors to her team in the last few months was amazing and definitely reduced our stress levels. While the timeline was delayed (due to another vendor), Kristy pivoted quickly and ensured that things got back on track and as close to the plan as possible. When we changed our mind on things mid-wedding (like if we wanted a more formal send off) she ensured that it was actually what we wanted but then changed to accommodate it. She also organized tear down of all the decor so that all we had to do was show up the morning after to pick up our belongings.
As a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, Kristy and her team made us feel welcomed and affirmed for the entire process while vetting vendors to make sure they were LGBT friendly and listing our (and our wedding party’s) pronouns on resource sheets so that the whole vendor team was aware and misgendering was as limited as possible (and never by Kristy or her team). She (or a team member?) also recommended many amazing vendors to us including our amazing DJ who had the exact vibe we wanted (gay pop dance party) and ensured the dance floor was full and everyone loved the music choices.
Kristy led our rehearsal like a (very nice) drill sergeant, which made it so much more efficient and effective than others I’ve been a part of. The ceremony went off without any major hitches and everyone (including 13 wedding party members, both of our parents, our officiant, and us) knew where they needed to be and when to do what. I was incredibly impressed and super grateful. It also ensured that I didn’t need to think or worry about the little details like making sure seats were reserved and that people started walking at the right time.
My only regret is that we didn’t have the budget to have her team plan our rehearsal dinner as well. That experience versus the day of the wedding was a huge contrast. On the day of, I could answer every question with “ask Kristy” and she would always have the answer. As a very anxious and “type A” person I fully trusted Kristy and her team throughout the process which was wonderful for my sanity. I was able to offload all the thinking and logistics onto her and her team and be much more present at my wedding with my now wife and friends and family.

Krist is your go to!
My husband and I had the privilege of working with Kristy and her incredible team, and we couldn’t have been more impressed! Kristy is not only professional and attentive but also truly listens to your vision, ensuring every detail is spot on. As a recipient of ‘Wish Upon a Wedding,’ Kristy generously volunteered her time and expertise with no expectation of anything in return. Her kindness and dedication made our wedding unforgettable. Kristy is the perfect choice for your big day! -

We loved working with WBK!
Our experience with Weddings By Kristy was so wonderful. We opted for the coordination package where Destiny joined our planning team three months prior to the wedding. The SECOND she started she lighted the load immensely! She organized vendors and provided us with the support we needed to have a smooth and seamless wedding day! We are so grateful to Kristy, Destiny, and Angela for their help! -

Our Review
Weddings by Kristy was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. If you are considering using her team, let my review be the nudge to go with them! For the following reasons:
(1) Kristy and team immediately had a sense of the kind of occasion we were trying to have. She really matched our vision and working style from the start.
(2) The team is incredibly organized and focused on getting things done. There is so much "noise" in the wedding planning process and Kristy and team cut through it immediately.
(3) The planning sessions leading up to the day of gave us the piece of mind and confidence that things were going to go smoothly. Kristy and team took over communication with our vendors and we truly didn't have to worry about a thing.
(4) Neither of us were stressed or concerned about anything logistical on the day of. Truly, everything went off without a single issue and that is because of Kristy's team.
Thank you again, team! -

One of our Best Choices
Choosing to hire WBK was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Kristy was extremely knowledgeable and always knew what questions to ask when we had no idea what we were doing. We love how intentional WBK was spotlighting LGBTQIA couples in her marketing and resources. Having someone take over a lot of the coordination closer to our wedding day allowed us time to live our lives in the months leading up. We recommend her to everyone we know who's recently gotten engaged. -

We love Kristy!
I'm so happy that we had Kristy and team as part of our wedding day! From our very first meeting, Kristy radiated warmth and preparedness. She listened as we shared our vision and over the next few months, ensured all the details were sorted to make it a reality.
In the lead up to the wedding, Kristy had our back and tracked our deadlines and upcoming decisions so nothing fell through the cracks. On wedding day itself, it was so helpful to have Kristy managing our 10+ vendors and decor setup and breakdown so we (and our families) could just enjoy the day.
I would wholeheartedly recommended Weddings By Kristy!

Can’t Recommend Highly Enough
We worked with Kristy as our day-of-coordinator for our wedding, and she was amazing. My wife and I have talked about how hiring her was the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning efforts. From the outset, she gave us a wealth of products and information that ensured we had all of our ducks in a row. Throughout every step of the way, she was organized, communicated effectively, and had a firm grasp on all of the small things that would have fallen through the cracks if we hadn't worked with her. For instance, she knew what logistical questions to ask the venue that we wouldn't have thought of. As a result, we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about all the moving parts that made it possible. Throughout the day, she worked independently and made everything appear seamless. Her husband/assistant Jacob was also extremely professional. Overall, Kristy was a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. I would recommend her without reservation to any engaged couple. -
