We can't say enough wonderful things about Amethyst x Emerald and our amazing wedding coordinator, Kristen! From the first moment we talked to her, it was clear she was going to make our day special and stress-free. We were very overwhelmed with all the details leading up to our wedding, but Kristen stepped in and completely took over communication with our vendors, ensuring everything was in place and handled professionally. Leading up to the wedding Kristen checked in with us and led us through everything that needed to be completed. On the big day, everything ran so smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Kristen and her team coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, kept them all in the loop and kept the timeline on track. They ensured every detail was perfect. Her experience and calm demeanor truly made all the difference. No task was too big or too small for Kristen and her team and they kept us all moving in the right direction. We have gotten a ton of positive feedback from our vendor team about Kristen; they were all thrilled to work with her. Thanks to Amethyst x Emerald and Kristen, our wedding was more beautiful and stress-free than we could have imagined. If you're looking for a coordinator who will take the reins, manage everything with grace, and make your day unforgettable, we highly recommend Amethyst x Emerald and Kristen!

I hired Kristen for my out of state, weekend long camp ground wedding when I realized I needed someone on the ground in MI to be my eyes and keep me on the right track. I had my venue and my dress. That was it. Kristen researched vendors, chatted with me to help me narrow in my vision, sent me reminders on when to pay and to whom I should be paying. She even got me a partial refund. She send me more pictures of linens than I knew possible while I tried to figure out what I wanted. When the weekend arrived, Kristen made sure all my out of town guests knew where to bunk. She had everything handled and I really did to sit back an enjoy my weekend. My bridal party and mom didn't have to run around and do anything. I felt like I had a best friend and someone looking out for my sanity. If I had to do it all again, Kristen would be my first call. Thank you again for being so great.

Amethyst x Emerald was such a breath of fresh air to work with during our 2023 season. As a venue manager I never know if I will have a family friend, aunt, or cousin being the day of point of contact for a wedding. Kristen was that and more. She communicated all of the couples needs throughout the entire planning process. Her communication was always prompt and professional. Not only did she plan a great wedding for our couple, she was there day of for all of the couples needs. Not only did it ease the minds of our couple but also mine. If you are considering a wedding planner/ coordinator I would recommend Kristen and her team.

We own The Shooting Comet, a vintage camper photo booth company and we had the privilege of working with Kristen this past summer on a wedding. I can say that in our five years of working with wedding planners, no one has impressed me like Kristen did. Her level of communication and organization was unmatched! I wish everyone we worked with could be as amazingly competent as her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other couples and I'm looking forward to working with her in the future!!

Kristen did an amazing job organizing my wedding this past fall. She had checklists and went over every little detail with me, making sure nothing got missed. She was there on the day of my wedding as well and helped with any small hiccups, and helped each vendor with any questions that came up so that I didn't have to sweat the small stuff. Our day was perfect thanks to her, I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. She went above and beyond.

Hiring a coordinator saved my butt! She made it so my family didn't have to lift a finger. She set up my decorations exactly how I wanted and made the day feel so smooth. She took everything down at the end of the night and helped everyone have the best time and get home safely. Highly recommend

Book her now! Seriously, she kept me sane and made wedding planning so much better. She ironed out all of our final details, took over vendor communications when I had tons of emails, and made the day go great. She even bustled my dress while we were taking photos and no one even noticed! She's the best
