✨VENDOR REVIEW✨
Our team had the pleasure of providing hair and makeup services for the bride and her party on the wedding morning. From the very beginning, communication was seamless—emails arranging the timeline and confirming details like the address were handled with clarity and professionalism.
When we arrived for setup, we were beyond thrilled to find a beautiful full-length mirror already available for our use as well as for the bridal party to get dressed and ready. This thoughtful detail made our work so much easier and truly elevated the experience for everyone. It’s such a unique and above-and-beyond touch that we rarely see coordinators provide, and it made a world of difference!
We were so impressed with the care and organization from this team—what a great company to work alongside !
Our wedding was almost two weeks ago and I have nothing but love for and positive things to say about Kristen! I am so so grateful that I stumbled upon her on Zola because without her I would have forgotten so many little details and been incredibly overwhelmed. Kristen made our planning and the day of the wedding so easy and wonderful; legitimately stress-free.
Kristen is so kind, caring, communicative, and just overall great at what she does. Throughout planning, she kept in close contact with me and other vendors - everyone was always in the loop and knew exactly what was going on at all times. I had a bit of a decor dilemma and she was super patient with me while I kept going back and forth on my final decision, which I really appreciated. Over this whole process I felt like I had a wonderful supportive friend in my corner, not just a hired planner.
I could give a million more examples of how she's been so great, but honestly all I can really say is this: please, if you are looking for a planner that is completely there for you and cares about you and your vision, Kristen is your person! She is willing to work with you in so many different ways and can tailor to what you need/want out of planning.
I 100% recommend Amethyst x Emerald and I really couldn't imagine having anyone else there to help us leading up to and on our day!
