Bend Weddings and Events

coordinator, but I’m so glad we chose to hire them—even late in the planning process. Their expertise and pricing felt fair and well-matched to the value they provided. Emily was incredibly helpful with our welcome party the night before the wedding, which was hosted by family. Despite the last-minute request, she made herself available and was clear about what she could and couldn’t do due to Oregon alcohol laws, offered a very reasonable rate, and allowed my mom to fully relax and enjoy the event. Krista provided excellent support during the wedding planning. As a detail-oriented bride, I had much of the groundwork already prepared, but Krista offered valuable insights, caught details I hadn’t considered, and handled vendor communication and confirmations during the week of the wedding. This freed me up to focus on final preparations, and it was a relief to have someone ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time behind the scenes. While we were overall pleased, there were some minor disappointments regarding day-of roles and responsibilities. For example, we had hoped Emily would stay at the guest book table during high-traffic times to encourage guests to sign, help take pictures and guide guests, but this didn’t happen as we’d expected – it was more of an occasional checking on the table. Additionally, we assumed they might periodically check in with us to see if we needed anything as we had trouble finding anyone a few times, though we didn’t communicate this hope beforehand. To avoid similar situations, I’d recommend being very specific about expectations and tasks ahead of time, as we would have been open to adding another assistant if needed. That said, we deeply appreciated their ability to handle unexpected issues, such as finding fuel for an empty generator or helping caterers with setup. They managed many behind-the-scenes details that we wouldn’t have anticipated but were critical to the event’s success. In summary, we were happy with the level of support Krista and Emily provided, especially for the price, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.

eddings and Events made it all feel manageable. From the outset, her knowledge of and relationships with local vendors in Bend made so many decisions and follow ups easier for me, and she kept so many logistics, contracts, budgets, and details organized throughout the planning process. As we got closer to the wedding itself, she also engaged Krista from her team who was equally helpful, clear, and kind. Then, their real magic shone through on the wedding weekend itself, as they helped to coordinate endless vendor movements, problem solve as things needed adjustments, and help answer so many questions from me, our wedding party, our guests, and our families. Nothing was too big or too small for them to pitch in and help out with, which helped put me at ease and allow me to focus on enjoying my wedding rather than worrying about details. I'm so grateful to have had their help throughout the process, and especially grateful for their support and kindness on wedding day!

th. She made our vision come to life on the day-of, and we felt so prepared and confident in her leading up to the big day as well. We couldn't have done it without her!
