Bel Momento Weddings Southern NJ & Philadelphia

BOOK HER! If you are like me and have little to no idea how to even start planning your wedding or how to pick a wedding coordinator/planner, this is your sign to book Bel Momento. Kristin is absolutely outstanding at what she does. She is unbelievably ORGANIZED and has your planning timeline/checklist covered down to every tiny detail. She points out details that I would have never even thought of. She is a PROFESSIONAL in every sense of the word. From her COMMUNICATION, to her KNOWLEDGE of the industry, vendors referrals, and the do's and dont's of a wedding, you are in the best hands. Not to mention, everyone we worked with or ran into in the wedding industry that we told we were working with Bel Momento had the same reaction of relief and excitement to be partnering with her again. She made sure to cover every inch of planning along the way, and made sure it was perfectly aligned with what we wanted and envisioned. I asked about a million questions along the way, and she was patient with me, answering every single questions promptly, even the stupid ones. She gives her honest professional opinion, which was much appreciated on my end. She never led me astray with any of the vendor referrals either. I used all vendors she recommended and they were all amazing and worked seamlessly with her (most of the time she was on a text relationship with them all). HER TEAM! Talk about dream team. They were so on point the day of our wedding, but kept good vibes. No one felt pushed, or rushed. They became instant friends with us and the bridal party. They are the reason our day when exactly as planned. My husband and I were both so incredible happy that we picked Bel Momento to be our wedding coordinator/planner. Her kindness and ability to be on top of everything lifted so much stress off of us, letting us truly enjoy the planning process. We owe her so many thanks for making our day absolutely perfect. You will forever be appreciative that you booked her.

Kristin is the absolute BEST!! We were very up in the air about whether we wanted to hire a planner or not because I'm very type A. I felt like I had everything under control during the planning process, but we decided to go ahead and hire a planner so that the day of would go smoothly and let me tell you.. the day of (and the weeks leading up to it) went FLAWLESSLY. I thought because I was super type A and on top of everything, I didn't need a planner but Kristin brought SO much to the table throughout the planning process. When discussing the wedding and when we were in meetings with other vendors, she brought up things that I had never even thought about. I had a lot of DIY items and it was so nice not having to ask my family or bridesmaids to help set up. We also had a lot of different things scheduled into our timeline and Kristin and her team executed the day of plan perfectly. I've been in countless weddings as a bridesmaid and honestly have never had a wedding morning go as smoothly as ours did, and this one was my own wedding!! The entire day was fun and carefree thanks to Kristin. She kept the planning process and day of completely stress free and I cannot thank her and her team enough.

Kristin and the team were a huge necessity for our wedding! I would call myself organized, but Kristin has it all together. Kristin captured so many details I would have missed and was great to bounce input off of. She made sure all our vendors were on the same page and was incremental in catching some verbiage with the vendors that could have thrown us for a loop and cost us additional money. Day of, Kristin and Meredith were there for every step and calmly helped me figure out and resolve any vendor issues that arose with ease. I don't know what I would have done without them! Kristin met with me multiple times leading into the wedding and captured everything I had and needed so that I had no worries day of. My family has now used BelMomento for all 3 children and both of my brother-in-law’s sisters. We trust them and highly recommend them to help make your wedding as seamless as possible!

Kristin is an amazing wedding planner and made the entire process incredibly stress free, which is exactly what we were hoping for! From our very first call together, I could tell how knowledgable and organized she was. Kristin was able to recommend vendors within our budget and worked closely with them to ensure that our vision was brought to life. In the early stages of planning, Kristin provided a timeline that listed all of the tasks that needed to be completed and made sure to keep us on track which was extremely helpful. Kristin was always available for a phone call and was more than happy to provide advice or helpful suggestions. There was not a worry in the world on the day of our wedding and I give full recognition to Kristin for that. She was behind the scenes working hard the entire day to make sure there were no mishaps and that everything was running in accordance to our timeline. Working with Kristin was the best decision we made and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a seamless wedding planning process!

Justin and I will never be able to THANK Kirstin and the Bel Momento team enough. This was the second wedding in my family that we used Bel Momento and they were nothing short of incredible the second time around. It is no easy task to plan a wedding during a pandemic let alone a NYE wedding with a new covid variant spreading like rapid fire 2 weeks before the wedding. Kristin was such a joy to work with. We started working together 6 months out and man was I a mess with my planning. Kristin QUICKLY got me on track and was so kind and professional about it! She cares so much about the couple and does what she needs to do to make every detail perfect. She comes to venue walk throughs and asked questions Justin, my parents, and I would have never thought to ask. We seriously would have been lost without her. The day of the wedding she has an amazing team stacked with kind and thoughtful individuals. They were so professional and present when they needed to be but were NEVER in our faces, there were times I didn't even realize someone was there! They kept us on time, made sure that moments we wanted captured were captured by our photographers/videographers, handled any day of problems without us even knowing, and packed up the decor/desserts/gifts at the end of the night. I will be the first to admit I did not want to use a wedding planner but after seeing Kristin and her team at my brothers wedding, my mom and I were ready to sign a contract that same day. Bel Momento was totally worth it and were by far my favorite vendor to work with. Kristin becomes more than a "vendor" to her clients, she became my friend. I will never be able to say enough amazing things about Bel Momento, you just need to sign the contract and see for yourself! They make planning a wedding in a pandemic enjoyable! Thank you Bel Momento.

I absolutely cannot recommend Kristin & her team enough. Without Belmomento, my husband and I could not have planned and executed our dream wedding in Cape May on October 23, 2021. Kristin’s expertise and knowledge of the wedding industry and event production overall is invaluable. Throughout the year+ that we planned my wedding together, Kristin put me at ease every time I talked to her due to her naturally friendly and lighthearted personality, paired with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Kristin is someone you can trust and rely on, and she makes sure you stay on track with timelines and details so that even the smallest things are not overlooked or missed. I booked my entire team of amazing vendors based on Kristin’s thoughtful and honest recommendations, and I received so many compliments from family and friends about how fantastic each vendor was during the wedding. Not only was Kristin exceptional during the months leading up to my wedding, but she and her team went above and beyond during my wedding weekend to make sure everything went smoothly, which was a feat in itself with all of the moving parts. A few highlights: they were present at the rehearsal to help direct, and even picked up/dropped off our personal items for the reception that night so we could head straight to the rehearsal dinner. On the day of the wedding, they coordinated our large wedding party, managed our team of vendors, made sure guests made it onto our shuttles from 2 pickup point locations, and even picked up food/drinks from my parent’s house and delivered them to our venue’s bridal suite, and set everything up! Heather even steamed my wedding gown and helped me carry the train and bouquet throughout the day. Kristin & team were instrumental in making sure the venue was set up and broken down within a very quick turnaround time, and made sure that our reception ran on time and accordingly to plan. I could go on and on about my amazing experiences with Belmomento, but overall they took the stress and responsibility off of me, my husband, and our families so that we could truly enjoy the weekend. We are so grateful and can’t thank Kristin and her team enough. Bringing Belmomento on board for your wedding is the best decision you will make :) Thank you, Kristin!!

We can’t say enough good things about Kristin and Bel Momento. I’m not even sure where to begin, as Kristin has so many positive traits. To start, she is an incredible planner and highly organized. She was knowledgeable about every vendor in the area and gave us excellent recommendations without being too pushy. If I even mentioned something that I might want at my wedding, she was immediately on her phone trying to make it a reality. She also held my hand through the whole planning process, which included rescheduling due to COVID. She was my go-to person for every question and always answered emails promptly. And above all that, she is incredibly kind and patient. Plus, her whole team was great to work with, including Meredith, who made sure my wedding day ran smoothly. Honestly, Kristin and Bel Momento could triple their prices and still be worth every penny! Highly recommend!

I don't even know how to articulate in words the depth of my gratitude and appreciation for Kristin of Bel Momento Weddings. Not only is she an exceptional planner and upmost professional, she is the kindest, most generous person by far that I have come in contact with during this entire wedding planning experience. From our first conversation, I felt like I was talking to a friend I've known forever who was sincerely excited about our wedding. She offered her advice and recommendations without being pushy and was knowledgeable about every venue, vendor, process, and detail. She was my go-to person and went above and beyond the responsibilities of any planner. I was already nervous and stressed planning a destination wedding in Cape May in less than 6 months but Kristin made it seem doable and was a bright light in my planning frenzy. Just as I was about to sign my contract with Kristin, COVID happened. We had to postpone our wedding twice and then ultimately cancel and eventually schedule it in another state. After all this, Kristin STILL helped me through these difficult decisions. I would not have gotten through wedding planning during COVID without her kindness and generosity. I will be forever grateful to her for her assistance and support. For these reasons and so many more, I highly recommend Kristin and her team at Bel Momento for their exceptional service and unparalleled kindness!

I don’t no where to begin to express my gratitude for the amazing service and talents of Bel Momento. From the moment I hired Kristin I knew I was in good hands. The first day that we spoke on the phone I felt so comfortable with her. Throughout the entire planning process she was always right by my side: vendor recommendations, decor ideas, emailing the venue , setting up conference calls, making timelines, and making sure I was on top of everything. Planning a wedding can be stressful and as a bride you want everything to go smoothly especially on the day of. Kristin went above and beyond to make our wedding Perfect!!! I couldn’t have planned my wedding without her ! On the day of our wedding, her assistants Desiree and Heather were amazing. I remember right before my ceremony I had to go the bathroom and Desiree was right there in the bathroom holding my dress . I felt so comfortable with her that I didn’t even care about going to the bathroom in front of her, lol . All I can say is you would be a fool if you didn’t hire Kristin to help with your wedding, she is the best !! She was born to do this ! Thank you again for making our wedding the best day ever !! I will never forget everything you have done to make my wedding so special! I highly and I mean HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bel Momento !!

Kristin and her team are absolutely incredible! She gave me the wedding of my dreams and I could not have done it without her! From day one, she was there for me to answer my questions, give her recommendations and kept track of my needs. As the big day approached, she made sure that everything was on track with the venue, vendors and myself. Our wedding day ran so smooth thanks to her amazing team. We never ran behind and the day ran perfectly all thanks to Bel Momento. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!

I hired Kristen and her team to plan my dream wedding (full service). She came highly recommended by others who have also used her for wedding planning. We worked together for 8 months planning my perfect wedding just before Covid-19 hit. Kristen helped me make the difficult choice to postpone my wedding (3 weeks before it was supposed to take place). She was more than a wedding planner during that time, she became a support system for me and my family. Kristen took on the challenge and worked quickly to help me find a new venue, reschedule every vendor, and create a new timeline. Kristen planned an entirely new 2nd wedding for me at a different location, only to be let down once again by Covid restrictions. Finally, just 2 weeks before my new wedding date, Kristen helped me find a new wedding venue (my 3rd venue) that could accommodate my large guest count in an outdoor space. Simply put, Kristen planned my entire wedding in just 2 weeks. Kristen went above and beyond to plan my wedding. She was extremely professional when dealing with multiple venues, vendors, and my frantic family members. She accompanied me to many meetings and helped me make tough decisions. She was a supportive, calming presence during a difficult and confusing time. Anything that was important to me and my husband, she made possible. In the end, all the time we spent planning 3 different weddings was worth it. Thanks to Kristen’s Google Doc outlining every detail of the day as well as a thorough timeline, I felt confident things would run smoothly. On the day of my wedding Kristen and he team handled EVERYTHING. I did not have to worry about a single detail, and I was able to enjoy every moment of the day. My wedding was absolutely beautiful and turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined. The timeline was well managed and I felt like I had plenty of time to enjoy every part of the wedding. It was certainly worth the wait. I could not have planned 3 weddings at 3 different venues without Kristen. Bel Momento’s services are worth every penny. If you are considering hiring Bel Momento for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed. Kristen, you are a beautiful person inside and out. My husband and I are forever grateful to you, and incredibly thankful for you. Love, Karly & Bob

Kristin and her staff were nothing short of absolutely AMAZING to work with. Hands down the BEST money we spent for our wedding!! Their knowledge, attention to detail and professionalism speaks for itself. If you are considering, just book them...you will not regret it, I promise you that! We cannot thank you enough, Bel Momento!! Xo - Danielle & Cody

We hired Kristin (and Meredith) for day of coordination for our wedding in Cape May. We were married at a location where numerous vendors had to be brought in, some of which they worked with before and others not so often. Our team ranged from local Cape May vendors to vendors up by our home nearly 100 miles away from of the venue. From the first phone call to the final good bye, we were beyond grateful for them. Kristin and Meredith’s day of coordination was something we needed, and their impact went beyond just that single day. They supported our ideas and also embraced our vision for the day all while making countless efforts to provide personal touches of their own to complement our day. A wedding day itself can be stressful then add-in trying to coordinate 15 or so vendors, it could become overwhelming. At no point through the process were we feeling completely over our heads, due primarily to their organization and calming presence. Throughout the day we never wondered if something was done or if there was an unknown, it was all taken care of. To be honest, we will be forever indebted to them for the day they provided - a day beyond what we could have imagined, a day we will never forget.

I knew I wanted to work with Kristin the moment I got off our initial phone call. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable about her craft, she came with raving reviews from my church and venue! My husband, mother, and I absolutely loved our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married. She will be top of mind as a vendor when my sister gets married in the future!

I can't imagine planning my wedding without Kristin and the Bel Momento team. They were instrumental from the very early stages of planning through my wedding day. I highly recommend the Bel Momento team! First, Kristin was extremely knowledgeable about the vendors in the area. She had first hand experience with most vendors in the area, which made the vendor selection process easier and gave me confidence that I could rely on each vendor I chose. In addition, Kristin managed the communication with many of the vendors and made sure that each was coordinated with the others. Kristin tracked deadlines and decision points along the way, and kept everything super organized. Kristin was always available for consultation and responded to emails, phone calls, and texts quickly. Kristin is very organized and reliable, and is always on time. Another thing I appreciated about Kristin is that she is a good listener and very quickly got a sense of what was important to me and the wedding "vibe" that we were going for. Kristin's experience was invaluable - she was able to give me advice on what needed to be prioritized and what things were less essential (or what items I could cut to stick within our projected budget). She knows all of the ins and outs of what makes a wedding successful from both the guest perspective and from the bride and groom's perspective. The thing that stood out most to me about Kristin and the entire Bel Momento team was their kind and calm demeanor no matter what was happening. Kristin is organized and on top of everything but she remains easy-going and friendly. She is also pragmatic, which I found very calming as the wedding approached and I naturally started getting stressed. This was especially true on my wedding day. In addition to Kristin, Meredith was with me the entire day, and made everything run smoothly and perfectly. Before I could even think to ask for something, Meredith was there offering me water, a snack, or my lipstick to do a touch up between photos. In addition, Meredith and Kristin made sure that my husband and I actually got to enjoy all of the food and drinks at the wedding -- as soon as we were finished snapping some post-ceremony photos, they had a plate full of all of our appetizers plus margaritas (our signature cocktail) waiting for us. The Bel Momento team also went above and beyond on our wedding day by making sure our dog got to and from the ceremony (he was a featured ceremony-participant). They even offered to walk and feed him that evening while we were all at the reception so that we didn't have to hire a dog walker. Our wedding day turned out better than I could have imagined and the Bel Momento team made it all possible.

From our very first phone call, Kristin added value and brought peace to our wedding planning process. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and a great advisor. She helped me make decisions while also staying true to our overall vision. She talked through everything with me as many times as I needed. Her day of team was FANTASTIC, I cannot fathom how we would have done it without them. Kristin thought of everything and I'm so grateful we chose to have her with us. Thank you Kristin!

We went back and forth on hiring a day of coordinator and I have to say it was the best decision we made! If you're on the fence I highly recommend Bel Momento's services for the ease of mind. She was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process - what signage we might need, setting the schedule, final vendor calls, etc. She was able to catch and coordinate with our band that they would have to set up earlier than originally planned. And that was just in the planning phase. Meredith was with us on the day of, and she was born for that role. She was helpful, fun, nice and just a great addition to the day. I had complete peace of mind that we were on track with timing, and with Kristin at the venue it was so freeing to have absolutely nothing to worry about. The day went so smoothly and I credit a lot of that to having hired Bel Momento! Thank you Kristin for everything, and best of luck with your own wedding!

Kristin helped plan our wedding in Stone Harbor, NJ in September 2019. From the beginning, her calm demeanor helped put us and our families at ease. Her knowledge of and network in the area was incredibly helpful as we selected vendors, which was especially important since we don't live locally. On the day of the wedding, Kristin and her team handled every detail large and small and allowed us to be fully present in our celebration. I can't recommend her highly enough!

We loved partnering with Kristin for our wedding, and know for certain it would not have gone so smoothly without her help! From our initial conversations through to our big day, Kristin was so very helpful, professional, and friendly, answering all our questions and providing a ton of invaluable recommendations. There were so many little details she helped us plan for (many of which we didn't even have on the radar!), that helped to really bring together our event and turn our wedding vision into a reality. She recommended a number of wonderful vendors, but was never pushy in any of her recommendations, allowing us to make the right choices for us as a couple and what we wanted our wedding to be. She helped keep us organized and on track with our timeline and planning, and was always patient and timely in her responses. For the day of our wedding, she was accompanied by two additional planners, Meredith and Kathleen who were amazing! Between the three of them, they helped to make our big day run so smoothly and kept it stress-free. They made sure we were on time, and had everything we needed - allowing us to really enjoy the day and not have to worry about all the little details and logistics. I can't thank them enough, and would highly recommend Bel Momento!

We are speechless!! We just had our wedding on Oct 13,2018! We worked with Kristin leading up to our wedding and worked with both Kristin and Meredith the day of! They made our dreams come true. Not for one second did I feel stressed and was able to enjoy the incredible day! Meredith made sure everyone was where they needed to be at every moment and Kristin managed all the vendors and made sure everything went off accordingly! I would recommend Bel Momento to any bride that wants all of their needs met and MORE! We are forever grateful! Love, Meg & Pat

After meeting with Kristin for the first time, I realized this was going to be one of the best decisions we would make for our wedding. (she was referred by a previous bride to this bride, my daughter-in-law) Being a very involved, control freak, MOG, I was having anxiety about the logistics of running over to wedding venue and/or getting my hair/makeup done the morning of wedding L😂L I was stressed thinking about, "how will anyone make sure everything is placed exactly where we want??!! etc etc Kristin reassured my doubts and calmed my anxiety with her organized lists and diagrams. She asked vendors the same questions I was thinking, besides all the ones I never thought of! Besides the day of issues, she handled meetings and scheduling before as well. During these various meetings, she was able to navigate through everyones ideas to bring us to a united decision. As the wedding day came closer, I noticed we were starting to say, "whatever you think works best, Kristin," instead of wasting time dwelling on something. I can't say enough.... what a relief it was to feel confidiant that someone had our backs and would make sure all of our wishes came true! As far as Kristin's demeanor, she is professional but approachable, extremely knowledgeable of the industry. A great listener, caring, confident, patient and likable... After the wedding, the one vendor's number you will keep in your phone because you'll be referring Bel Momento often... but also because you'd love to keep her as a friend.

I can’t say enough about Kristin and the services from Bel Momento. Wish i hired her earlier and used them for everything. Worth every penny!!

The best decision I made during the entire wedding process was hiring Kristin as our day of planner. She is the most professional, hard working, kind woman and she absolutely made my dream wedding a reality. Not only is Kristin amazing, her team was too. They were all extremely helpful, caring, attentive, funny, professional...the list goes on and on. My sister said the first thing she's going to do when she gets engaged is hire Kristin for the entire process. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Bel Momento. They truly helped make our wedding day the best day of our lives.

We are Brooklyn residents who were looking for something truly special – but off-the-beaten path – for our second wedding. For our November 2016 event, Kristin helped us transform One Atlantic, an event space in Atlantic City, New Jersey, into a full-fledged disco, complete with a glittery disco ball. Kristin is a true pro. She is responsive, calm and experienced. She recommended fantastic, reasonably priced vendors for our invitations, photo booth, decor/flowers and even was on hand to be a last-minute witness for our marriage license. She was honest and thorough about what to expect, and she worked seamlessly with all of our vendors. Kristin kept the wedding train running on time from start-to-finish of planning process. (She even impressed my BFF, who plans events -- and is a VERY tough cookie to please.) Kristin, thankfully, worked with some of the more "difficult" personalities we encountered along the way with style and grace. She truly seemed to enjoy every minute of planning the tiniest of details and had SO MANY inspiring and creative ideas, particularly with decor and lighting. When I felt like my time was running short, Kristin executed a VERY daunting project I had proposed when we first met: framing wedding photos from all of our wedding guests to display at the cocktail hour. I'm so glad she carried out my wishes, as our guests loved this special treat. Thank you Kristin, for exceeding our ridiculously high standards. Disco Fever FOREVER. You can check out some images of the event here: https://www.facebook.com/oneatlanticevents/posts/1303503669700054

Kristin is amazing! We got married on September 10th and I honestly don't know how I could've pulled the whole thing off without Kristin. She always saw my vision and knew exactly how to describe it, even when I wasn't sure how to put it into words. She thought of every detail, some that I never even considered but can't imagine our day without them. She came to all of my meetings with me and gave me the confidence to speak up for what I wanted. Our wedding day ran so smoothly with Kristin and her team by our side. Everyone knew where to be and at what time and it went on without a hitch. I would recommend Bel Momento to anyone who asks!

Bel Momento made our wedding day absolutely perfect and unforgettable! The team was awesome. Their planning, organization and execution surpassed our expectations. Highly recommend Bel Momento for weddings or for any special event! :)

I can't say enough great things about Kristin. My mom and I are two very opinionated people, and Kristin was the perfect person to help us achieve our shared vision. Her temperament is perfect for the job, and her experience and professionalism remove any angst or anxiety becuase you know she's on top of everything. She asks all the right questions and instills the utmost confidence. My husband and I did not have to worry about a single thing because Kristin and her team were on top of everything. I can't imagine planning a wedding without her. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kristin!!!!

A wedding is a milestone event and hiring Kristin to oversee the day was one of the best decisions we made for our daughter's wedding in June in Cape May, NJ. This was a destination wedding and Kristin knew all the best vendors and gave us options for all the details including the printing of wedding programs. Kristin has a wonderfully calming personality and was able to bring all the moving parts of a wedding together that day so we could relax, take in the wedding experience, and enjoy all our family and friends. The wedding was indeed a "bel momento."

Let's start with basic information. My wife and I hired Kristin for our wedding in Stone Harbor, NJ in May. I'll be the first to admit, I didn't get it. You pay someone to coordinate a day that you've already paid vendors to handle. Let me be perfectly clear...I was wrong. You need Kristin and her team. You are crazy not to hire a coordinator but specifically Kristin and her team. The weather forecast was dreadful and could have put a major damper on our day because we had planned our wedding on the beach. Thankfully, Kristin was able to secure us the perfect indoor site just a few days prior. She was positive and kept us at ease throughout the whole 9 month process and during the big day through the stormy weather! She dealt with all of the vendors and also managed to help our photographers get a handful of shots on the beach before the storm rolled back in. Now let's give a shout out to the queen, Meredith. What we would have done without her, still be unmarried...no joke. She managed all of our crazy wedding party and accomplished the impossible with grace. She even ran out and got umbrellas for everyone during the storm. In spite of the weather our day was perfect and we wouldn't have done a single thing differently. I'll stop here, you can't do what they do. You don't want to do what they do. You need Kristin, you need Meredith. Make the right choice, have a flawless wedding. Hire Bel Momento. They're top notch!

We decided to use Kristin for our wedding in Sea Isle City, NJ on September 10th. She was absolutely perfect. In the beginning I really did not think I would ever need a wedding planner, but after speaking with her I realized how much of a help she really was. She made everything 100% easier and less stressful for me and my groom. She would think of things that never would have crossed my mind. After working with her for about a year, she became more of a friend than a wedding planner. I would recommend Bel Momento over and over again. She had a huge part in making our wedding perfect, even with 32 people just in our Bridal party! Thank you Kristin!

We used Kristin and Bel Momento Weddings for our wedding in Stone Harbor and we couldn't have made a better choice. Kristin was always easy to get in contact with, professional and so helpful. She kept us on track making sure we were getting things done as we got closer to our wedding. Her team was really helpful in suggesting different ideas for us for decorations and researching where to buy things and cost. Our wedding day ran so smoothly with their coordination and allowed us and our families to really enjoy the day. They were such a pleasure to work with and such an immense help, absolutely worth every penny. We highly recommend them!!!

We used Kristin for day of coordination. At first, my husband and I were unsure we needed a planner, but it turned out to be the best decision we made. Kristin and her team allowed me to focus on myself, friends and family on my special day. She literally took care of every single detail and it turned out better than I expected. Additionally, she provided advice and suggestions during the planning process that were critical for the success of the day - her knowledge of our venue and vendors proved to be such an asset. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and we owe a lot of that to Kristin and her team. I would recommend Bel Momento to anyone!

As the groom, I tried to take the "support" role during the wedding planning process but as soon as we started working with Kristen, it was very clear that my bride to be felt 110% most comfortable just working with Kristen . However, what sets Kristen apart is her experience and knowing that ultimately my bride to be would actually want me involved in some parts of the planning process. With that, Kristen looped me in on the important planning components of the wedding so both my bride and I felt great about everything! Then day of, no one and I mean no one, has better bedside manner and calmness then Kristen. So in case you can't tell, Kristen is best and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Kristen helped me plan my DREAM wedding. Kristen was so organized, calm and immediately understood my vision and personality to make me the happiest and not stressed. Kristen is professional, fun, detail oreiented and would highly reccomend her services. She also has very innovative ideas when we needed to go to plan b due to weather etc. We love Kristen and wish we could get married every day!

I worked with Kristin on our December 2015 wedding. She is the most patient, professional, and calm wedding planner I have ever met! You know Kristin has your back on your wedding day. She knows the right questions to ask and the balance of being involved up front and working out things behind the scenes. Kristin is a professional dedicated to her job and to your wedding day! Her confident personality will help calm your wedding nerves! Very pleased with my decision! -Jacqueline

I couldn't imagine going through the whole planning process without Kristin and bel momento. I had no idea where to start or what to do and Kristin walked me through it all and helped me with everything. My day was so perfect and special because of her. I truly don't think any of it would have been possible without her! I'm so thankful for having Kristin with me during my whole process!

I loved working with Kristin and her team at Bel Momento for my wedding this month at Cape May. From the first phone call I knew I had to work with her. Being from out of town her knowledge of the area and vendors was invaluable to me. I trusted her advice and ideas from the beginning and couldn't have been happier with how my special day turned out! We only met a couple times before the wedding day but having her there to reassure me and make sure everyone and everything was in place the day of the wedding created a bond that I will be forever grateful for. She truly loves what she does and her passion is evident in the number of happy couples she works with. Thanks Kristin!

Kristin and Meredith at Bel Momento were great to work with for my wedding. They did a wonderful job before, during and after the wedding. I hired them as day-of coordinators and they completely handled everything the day of my wedding. I could just relax and enjoy myself. They also were helpful recommending someone to do our escort and table numbers cards. They even picked up the finished cards for me! They were really so wonderful the day of my wedding. I highly recommend them!

We had an excellent experience working with Kristin on coordinating the logistics for our wedding. From our first meeting to end of the reception she was wholly professional, detail oriented and made us feel at ease. We would highly recommend hiring Bel Momento as it allowed us to not have to be worried about every single detail leading up to the big day and enjoy our wedding knowing that Kristin and her team were handling everything. Thank you, Kristin!

I had selected my vendors and my dress before I even considered a planner. My mom and I knew we’d a planner for day-of coordination which is why we reached out to Bel Momento. She offered ideas, recommendations, suggestions and questions I wouldn’t have thought of if it weren’t for someone in the business helping me. The day-of coordination allowed me to focus on the day and enjoy every moment without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Kristin created a day-of timeline and helped us all to stick to it. I couldn’t have done it without the assistance and support of Kristin and her team.

We had such a wonderful experience with Kristin, Katie and Julie. From the first time I spoke with Kristin, I felt so much more at ease with the wedding planning process, and that feeling remained right through the wedding day. Kristin and her team made sure that we didn't miss anything in our final stages of planning, and that every detail was perfect on the day of the wedding.

The ladies of Bel Momento are simply the best at what they do! They were able to make a very stressed bride to be a very relaxed bride. I can't say enough positives about Kristin and Bailey and I highly recommend them for your bridal planning and day of coordination!

Bel Momento is absolutely amazing! I had the best experience working with Kristin and her team. I highly recommend them to every bride-to-be I know! My wedding was gorgeous and I have Kristin to thank for that!

PERFECT PLANNING=PERFECT WEDDING! Kristin Barse, Bel Momento Wedding & Special Events planner was an important part of son and daughter in law's perfect Ocean City Wedding 9/25/15. Her knowledge and professionalism gave us a level of comfort throughout the entire planning process. Her list of vendors is top notch! When I saw her in action that weekend I knew we were in calm, capable hands. We were amazed just how beautiful everything came together that day! Hiring Kristin was the best money spent! Thank you Kristin for making our Ocean City Wedding PERFECT!

Best. Day. Ever. Kristin was exactly what I needed to make our day the best day ever! Planning a wedding with a newborn is a bit tricky but because of Kristin all out "T's" were crossed and the "i's" were dotted!! Kristin helped me think of things that I would have never thought of during my planning. She was 100% committed to making my day perfect, which is was!! The day was absolutely flawless and I thank Kristin and her team with all my heart for that!!

Bel Momento was a God send for my husband and I in planning our 2nd wedding. Kristen helped me in planning the most beautiful, and elegant beach themed wedding I could possibly imagine. She was excellent from beginning to end. She put me at ease throughout the entire process. Kristen helped me stay organized with minimal worry and anxiety. I completely trusted her judgement and valued her option. Bel Momentos professionalism and genuine interest and concern for your special day is unsurpassed. I am vey grateful for Kristens help in making my day amazingly beautiful beyond my imagination!!! Thank you!!!!

Kristin and her team work very hard to make your day spectacular and exactly what you dream of. We used her for full planning service, she made the entire process stress free. She helped us think about everything and not miss a single detail. During the day of the wedding, I specifically wanted someone there so no one in the family had to worry about a thing, including myself and the groom! She handled everything, and the entire day went off without a hitch (if there was an issue, I had no idea because she and her team handled it!) Highly recommend to use her services, no matter who you are! Totally worth it!

I hired Kristen for day of services for my May 24th wedding! She was such a breath of fresh air after having many vendors that left a bad taste in my mouth. After having a melt down about logistics and what if these vendors don't show or something could go wrong, I found Kristen. I thought I was an organized bride, but she made me even more organized! She ALWAYS answered my many, many (sorry) emails promptly and put me at ease. Our first meeting was about 4 hours and I was just so happy that a vendor seemed like my day was just as important to them as it was me. She asked me questions that I didn't even think of and had ideas and suggestions that made my day run so much smoother. She made sure the rehearsal ran smoothly, and contacted everyone possible before the event to ensure we were all on the same page. She attended my final event meeting and was available for my random questions. The day of we had Allie and Julie that helped us. Allie was with the girls and she was a dream! She fit right in and made sure everything was running smoothly. I can't thank these ladies enough, and for anyone that thinks you don't need a day of coordinator, every bride needs a Kristen!

I worked with Kristin for our Wedding in May 2015 in Cape May, NJ. We made the decision to seek planning services about 8 months prior to the wedding. Bel Momento was on the recommended vendor list provided by our venue. As soon as I spoke with Kristin, I knew she would be a perfect fit. & I can honestly say that hiring Kristin & her team was the best decision we made. She and her team made our wedding weekend completely flawless & stress free! Because of Kristin, my husband & I were able to thoroughly enjoy our day & not worry about a thing! Kristin has a great repertoire with our venue and all of her vendor recommendations were excellent. Over the course of planning our wedding, Kristin answered numerous emails/text messages promptly, we had regular phone meetings, & she scheduled and attended all vendor meetings with me. She compared and negotiated pricing for all of our rentals - getting us the best price for everything. Having someone who had so much experience was invaluable. Our wedding weekend exceeded our expectations tremendously & I am confident in saying that it was due to the experience, professionalism, & focus of Kristin & her team. I would absolutely recommend Bel Momento to anyone seeking event planning services!

I hired Kristin and her team for day of services and I am so glad that I did. Leading up to the big day Kristin kept me on track. Towards the end I had a lot of anxiety and Kristin stepped in and spoke with all of my vendors and handled timing issues, questions, and other concerns. She made sure my concerns were heard and she truly listened to what my husband and I wanted. The day of went off without a hitch and it was all thanks to them and the two ladies from Bel Momento, Bailey and Kathleen. We had two small hiccups the day of which had nothing to do with Bel Momento. The first was due to my husband misplacing something important, but Kristin's team kept me calm and feverously went to handle the situation. The second issue was our pastor not being listed on the seating chart (my fault). I again, told Kristin's team and within minutes they found him a seat without anyone noticing he was not on the seating chart. These two issues were handled with professionalism, swiftness, and precision. At the end of the night everything was packed up and given back to us. I was soooo tired at the end of the night and I was not going to take my bridal bouquet home because of my being tired. Bailey, from Bel Momento said "No, it's your bouquet and you're taking it home!" :-) I'm so glad that she made me take it because I got to admire it for a couple more days. Weddings are a massive event and it's hard working with so many other people. Bel Momento made this process so easy and I would definitely recommend them if you are in need of coordination services.

WOW! Kristin at Bel Momento Weddings is truly amazing! From my first conversation with Kristin, I knew I needed her on my side on the day of my wedding. Kristin's calm persona and positive demeanor made me feel like I had absolutely nothing to worry about (and I didn't) and as if she was an old friend I have known for years. From helping to design the table settings to answering multiple emails a day, Kristin demonstrated true professionalism by making you feel like the only Bride she was working with. Kristin is unbelievably detailed and thorough and in the best way possible. She thinks of every little thing (most of which had never even crossed my mind!) and helps to bring your vision to life. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I (not to mention my mom and bridesmaids) were totally relaxed knowing Kristin was at our venue making sure everything was just right - and it was everything I had ever dreamed and more! Not only did Kristin help with decor, she coordinated vendors, made sure everything was running smoothly and on time and and made my husband and I feel truly special all night (from making sure I had lipstick to reapply to getting us water while taking pictures outside in the hot sun!) She truly went above and beyond! From the bottom of my heart I thank Kristin for all that she did for us... You are Awesome!!!!

I engaged in the services of Kristin early on in my wedding planning to help with the planning and coordination of my beach wedding ceremony. I was feeling overwhelmed with the planning for the beach ceremony. there are so many extra details that you need to think about, that would not be needed for a church ceremony. Kristin was super helpful from our very first meeting. She had great ideas, and immediately put me at ease. throughout the planning processing she was very responsive and had great ideas on what worked well and what did not work well for a beach ceremony. I was so glad i had decided to work with her. For the rehearsal and day of, I worked with Allie and Katie. It was great to have the 2 of them to guide us through the rehearsal. I trusted them and they were in charge the day of....they directed everyone (florist, arbor setup, chair setup, sound, musician, officiant, bridal party, and guests). I could not have done this without their help!!!

My wedding was in Cape May, NJ. Kristen (Bel Momento) was an amazing and very talented wedding planner. She came up with very neat and great ideas that I would have never thought of. She led us to the right vendors and was always on top of things and quick to respond to questions. She helped make my wedding day perfect. I would definitely recommend her to other brides.

I am so happy that I chose Kristen from Belmomento to help plan my daughter's wedding. She provided great advice on vendors and in fact many of the ones I chose she works with frequently and they worked together as a great team! So it was more than just a wedding planner but I felt like we had a whole wedding team on our side. The creative ideas, the money saving suggestions and the overall outcome of the wedding day was just amazing. They really helped make a beautiful vision become a reality. I like how she was so honest about what was good and what was maybe not so good. On the day of the wedding she handled every detail - including making sure we had pretty table numbers that had been missed by the florist. Everything went just as planned and people commented that it was the best wedding they ever attended. I really enjoyed working with Kristen and the time she took to make my daughter and her husband's day so special. Thank you Kristen!!!

We decided to hire a "day of" coordinator for our wedding in Margate, NJ. I'm so thrilled we chose Bel Momento! I don't know how I would have organized myself and all the unique requests we had without them. They confirmed and organized all our vendors, which made my life so much easier, especially because I live far away. When my hotel was giving guests wrong information and we could not reach anyone there, they stepped in with contacts who helped us fix the problem. They were always kind but professional, and so easy to work with. Our priest, who was not a fan of wedding coordinators, even said at the mass that they restored his in wedding planners. This is a great testament to their work. If you are thinking about a wedding coordinator, whether it be day of or for the whole process, pick Bel Momento. :) Thank you Kristen, Alli, and Katie!!!!! -Sarah

Having Kristin help out with our wedding day was the best decision we made -- I only wish that I had contacted Kristin earlier in the process! Kristin is so thorough and her creativity is amazing. She gives her suggestions but listens to what it is you want for your day. The day-of, we could be guests at the wedding rather than have to worry about every little thing. Kristin has a calming presence, which in the months and weeks leading up to a wedding is exactly what you need. I would recommend Kristin to all engaged couples, she is fantastic to work with! Our vision would not have come together without Kristin.

What a joy to have Kristin and her duo of pros work with us on our Wedding in Avalon!! Along with her expertise she brought an air of calm and confidence to both the Rehearsal and Wedding Day....a time which could easily be overrun with stress and anxieties. The team was supportive, detail minded, decisive and professional. Their behind the scenes actions and problem solving skills provided a seamless event for Everyone!!! As Mother of the Groom, I can not think of a better gift to give a bride and her family on this MOST special occasion!!!!

Kristin and her team did a terrific job implementing all the little details of my (admittedly over the top) wedding! In the months leading up to the wedding, she made frequent helpful suggestions and made me feel confident that everything was being handled. The day of, she and her team made sure everything ran smoothly and set up all of the decorations more beautifully than I could've imagined!

When I started planning a Cape May, NJ wedding from Hoboken, NJ, my fiancé and I knew that it would be challenging to do on my own, and that we needed a wedding planner. After searching the internet for a few weeks, reading reviews and customer ratings, I found Kristin from Bel Momento and thought she would be a really good fit, so my finance and I set up a meeting. After meeting and speaking with Kristin, I immediately knew that she would be the one to help us plan our wedding. She instantaneously put us at ease, sharing with us her vast knowledge of the area and its local vendors. In addition, we could tell she really understood the entire process of planning a wedding and all of the details that it entailed. More importantly, she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple and help us figure out what our wedding day would look like, which made the decision that much easier. Kristin was there with us every step of the way, over the course of our 15 month engagement. She recommended fantastic vendors, attended meetings on our behalf, negotiated contracts, did late night phone calls and conducted brainstorming sessions with me at 10pm, and always made sure we were getting things done on schedule. She even labeled me as her “runaway bride” because my demanding work schedule and lack of attention to personal email while at work made me lose track of what had to get done. Despite being a difficult bride, she always made time for me and kept us on track. When I was overly stressed or didn’t care what the butter knives looked like, or what color the napkins were, I trusted her to make decisions for me and she always made the right choice. Not only was she there for me, but she listened to my fiancé and helped try and soften my outlook on certain things that he really wanted that I wasn’t crazy about :). For instance, we ended up pulling off a surprise for him by putting together an awesome lounge area in our reception space that guests raved about, and my fiancé loved. Without Kristin getting me to see that his wants were important, we never would have pulled it off. On the day of our wedding, Kristin and her assistant Jody handled everything. I can’t even imagine how nervous and stressed we both would have been without them and I know that our day would not have been the same without them handling all everything behind the scenes. Words can’t express how thankful I was to have Kristin and Bel Momento throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. They truly helped us have the best wedding we could have ever imagined and we definitely would not have been able to do it without them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Cape May/South Jersey area and have nothing but positive things to say about the entire planning process with them.

I booked Bel Momento a few months before my wedding. It was some of the best money we spent and really put us at ease. Since I didn't live down the shore it was really comforting for me to know that we were in good hands and had point people in the area to help out. We selected their "down to the details" package which was perfect for us for our point in the planning process. We had several check in phone calls which were great and then met in person to do a walk-through before the wedding. Kristin who runs the company was very professional and helpful in keeping us organized and getting us in contact with last minute vendors in the area. Her company has worked with everyone and they know every vendor under the sun. Bailey was our lead on our big day and she has a wonderful bubbly personality and is very organized, she's also very creative and owns her own design company (she did our table numbers and seating chart.) Amy was also wonderful the day of and assisted Bailey (so we have two planners on duty which was amazing and rare compared to other companies). Overall, we were really impressed with their service and would highly recommend to other couples! They were just great!

My husband and I were referred to Bel Momento by our wedding venue coordinator and we feel truly blessed to have had them as part of our special day. We worked with them for all of the final details of our wedding during the last few months leading up to the big day. Kristin and team took care of all of the organization of our many vendors and was a vital part of our final detail meetings with our wedding venue. All of the visions I had for my big day were triple checked by the Bel Momento team and worked out perfectly. Our actual wedding day was incredibly smooth and our guests continue to tell us that they have never been to a more seamless enjoyable event, a credit that is due entirely to the Bel Momento team. We highly recommend working with this team to eliminate all wedding stress and simply enjoy your big day!

Kristin and the Bel Momento team MADE our wedding day! My ONLY regret was that we hired them only as a day-of coordinator- I know I could have saved myself a lot of stress and indecision if I had hired them to plan everything! Still though, working with them was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. I worked with Kristin before the wedding, and with Jody and Bailey on the day of. All three of them were amazing. Kristin really helped us figure out the logistics of the day- without her, I think we would have made some really big mistakes in our planning on the day of, but she helped us visualize everything, figure out all of the timing, and made sure we were really comfortable with all the plans. She was also great with coordinating all of the other vendors and getting everyone on the same page. She has so much expertise, it was great knowing I could really count on her advice. On the day of, Bailey was with me and my girls getting ready. She was SO fun to have around- she was upbeat and positive, running around helping with lots of little things, and always had a huge smile on her face and lots of enthusiasm. She really helped set a positive tone for the whole day! Jody was at our venue making sure everything was set up correctly. When I walked into the venue, everything looked flawless. I found out later that she had gone so far above and beyond, folding all of the napkins and putting out escort cards and menus herself. She also knows everything there is to know about service, and worked flawlessly with the catering staff. She really made my vision come to life, and helped everything go so smoothly. I really can't rave about these women enough- as someone who can have a hard time giving up control, I would trust Bel Momento with just about anything. They are professional, talented, supportive, thorough, and really a pleasure to work with. I will happily recommend them to anyone I know getting married in the area!!

Bel Momento was great to work with. They were very organized and helpful especially in the last couple of days as unexpected things come up and to help get everything together.
