5 stars isn't even enough to capture how amazing Kim and her team were the entire time!!! She was incredibly patient, thorough, and has the BEST take on everything. Every single vendor she recommended, we ended up ADORING and genuinely people are still telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to (even better than their own)!!
We were planning our New York wedding from London and the time difference was never an issue for Kim which we so appreciated. Also, we had such specific wants since we were blending American and British culture & wedding traditions, and Kim made every single thing happen, in the most beautiful and seamless way.
We felt like it was a true collaboration and she brought our vision to life. The best compliment we got was that the entire wedding felt representative of us as a couple, and that is entirely because of Kim.
Many people said to us that we seemed so calm the whole planning process and on the day, and genuinely it's because we were!!! What's there to be nervous about when you have the best planner possible? We were able to be fully present our entire wedding weekend because of Kim, enjoying every second, rather than thinking through logistics or making small decisions. Every single person on her team were incredible on the wedding day, and we felt like we were in the best hands from start to finish.
Kim is truly the best, and we LOVE her so much. Highly highly highly recommend.

We couldn't be happier with the incredible service that Kim provided! From the moment we met Kim, we knew that we would be in great hands. She had an ability to truly understand what my wife and I had envisioned for the day and helped us bring that vision to life. Kim also was able to take care of every detail and coordinated all of the moving parts which allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding day without any worries. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Kim is a large reason for that! We highly recommend!

Would hire Kim and her team 1000x over! They were absolutely fabulous and everything we didn’t know we needed. If you think you don’t need a day of coordinator, you’re probably wrong. Our venue was fairly all inclusive and Kim was still soooo helpful and much needed.
Any questions?

As parents of the bride we were thrilled to have worked with Kim. She made the entire process (16 months!) a pleasure. The wedding had so many logistics to deal with since the groom and family and half the guests were from the UK and Kim walked us through all the details with calmness and professionalism making the entire three day event the most memorable and perfect experience. She guided us every step of the way and balanced all of our input and helped us come to decisions that were the best in the end. We have said that we wouldn’t change one decision. Everything and every vendor were awesome. On the day of the wedding Kim and her team were amazing and we have the most incredible memories to look back on. We are so thankful for Kim and her team. They are the best!!

Living in United Kingdom and being involved in a wedding in New York was always going to have its challenges. Well that was until we were introduced to Kim at Chere Rosalie.
We really did not need to panic or worry one bit, she and her team were fantastic from beginning to end.
A very professional manner from Kim who was always available to speak and who responded to emails promptly.
Great service and a memorable 3 day party all organised by Kim with military precision.
Thanks to all of the team .

Kim was amazing to work with!! From her attention to every small detail to ensuring nothing was missed on our actual big day, she was heaven sent and I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Our entire bridal party and immediate family kept complimenting how on top of everything she was and witnessed all the hard work she put in first hand. The day of, Every single vendor knew exactly what to do, where to be and there was zero confusion the day of because of her meticulous planning. She was able to make the wedding day of our dreams happen.
From the start, Kim would always reply promptly and was able set realistic expectations with us when it came to budgeting, venue size , accommodations etc. because of her expertise and experience in the industry. Not only was she a guru at the logistic side of things, but she also designed a gorgeous garden theme that I personally never would’ve been able to articulate or come up with on my own. She did all of this all while still honoring our personal preferences and making it special and unique to us.
My number one piece of advice to future brides is not only to hire a planner, but someone you KNOW will get the job done right and Chère Rosalie did just that. Thank you Kim! Forever grateful for you.

Working with Kim and her team was amazing and worth every penny. Our wedding weekend went off without a hitch. Afterwards we just kept saying "no notes" - as in there is nothing we would change. Sarah (who was our day of coordinator) was an absolute gem. She made everything so much more manageable, allowed me to relax and enjoy the day as I knew that she had everything managed to a T! She was also so lovely to have around as part of wedding day.
I cannot overstate how grateful my family and I are for all of Kim's work and support on creating an above & beyond vision. I was never one of those girls who imagined what my wedding would look like and our wedding surpassed anything I could have imagined and was more than I had ever hoped for.
9/09/2023 • Nataliya K
We've had the privilege working with Kim and it's truly difficult to overstate just how incredibly talented she is! Not only does she excel in her craft, but her level of customer service is truly exceptional. She embodies the role of an ultimate cheerleader and provides extraordinary care to her brides.
If you're in search of someone who is willing to go above and beyond to guarantee that your special day is nothing short of perfection, then Kim and her team is the perfect choice for you! Booking her will be a decision you won't regret. She is dedicated to ensuring that your wedding day is unforgettable and everything you've ever dreamed of.

I absolutely loved working with Kim both in the months leading up to the wedding and on the day of! We truly never could've anticipated how perfect and special it would all turn out and it wouldn't have been possible without Kim! She executed our wedding weekend in New York City flawlessly from start to finish, including our rehearsal dinner at Dirty French and our wedding day at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Guests raved about everything (from the flowers to the linens to the cadence of the events), all of which were carefully curated by Kim. She was incredibly patient with me throughout the planning process and communicated with vendors on our behalf to make everything seamless and easier on our end. She understood my vision and knew exactly how to explain it to vendors, including a lot of back and forth on creating our incredibly customized invitation suite. Her calm demeanor and support leading up to our rain plan was so appreciated, and when it did rain she handled the room swap and every detail without me having to stress in the slightest. There are too many amazing things to say about Kim and the entire Chere Rosalie team, but those are some of the many highlights. I HIGHLY recommend using her for your wedding!
8/04/2023 • Jennifer C
We worked with Kim and Sarah for design and coordination (for those who do not need a full planner). It was absolute perfection. We had previously booked the majority of our vendors (photography, venue, music, etc) but desperately needed help on our vision. We worked with Kim to design a gorgeous botanical garden wedding. It was magical - we received so many compliments the day of and weeks after the wedding. Sarah was our day of coordinator. She was everything. I saw her speed walking throughout the day, making sure things were in place. Yet, she always stopped to ask me what I needed. Unfortunately, we had to move our ceremony indoors due to forecasted rain, but Sarah turned the foyer into a ceremony space in less than 1 hour. We loved having her with us the entire day. Both Kim and Sarah are some of the best people you can work with - would 100% recommend to all my friends getting married!!
7/31/2023 • Chloe K
One of the most common compliments we got throughout our wedding was about Kim and her team, who were absolutely amazing and so helpful on our wedding day. We received so much praise around how efficient, organized, and thoughtfully-designed our wedding day was!
What our wedding guests didn't see were the 18 months of meticulous planning, back and forth e-mails, and phone calls - all of which was a seamless process due to Kim and her experience and professionalism. None of our wedding day would have been possible without her! Whenever we had a question, or an issue came up, she always handled it swiftly and with extreme professionalism. She also has an extensive network in New York and was always quick to offer her opinion if we were struggling with making a decision.
We live in London and had been planning a wedding in New York, which should have been difficult, but honestly Kim made it so easy for us. She was an incredible partner through it all: thoughtful of both our expectations and our guests' experiences, and her sense of design and aesthetics helped pull together our dream wedding, even amidst a rainstorm during our wedding weekend! I could not recommend Kim and her team enough - it will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day!!
7/25/2023 • Lydia H
Kim was recommended to us by a photographer we were considering, and from the moment we spoke with her, we knew she was the one.
Kim is a force of nature. We had an accelerated timeline, and honestly there’s no way we would’ve been able to execute everything we wanted to without Kim’s guidance, support and poise.
What I love most about Kim is that she’s like your best friend who will support you and be there for you in EVERY way, AND not be shy about pushing back or telling you when something is a horrible idea in the most loving & gentle way possible. (Looking back, thank goodness she stopped me from doing certain things! Ha)
And where Kim really shines is in her creativity & design. My now husband & I went into the rentals meeting thinking ‘Simple white linen, white plates, minimal everything.’ But Kim totally blew us away with her recommendations when she picked out the most unique pieces that went together so nicely.
I ended up deferring a lot of design related decisions to Kim because 1) I trust her & her taste completely; and 2) I knew she would do an amazing job translating my vision to execution perfectly. Our wedding ceremony and reception were both so magical. It was everything I dreamed of and more, and Kim deserves a lot of credit for that.
On the morning of the wedding day, the moment I saw Kim, I said to her, “I already feel better knowing you’re here.” And it was true. Just having Kim there eased my anxiety and nerves because I knew that she’s got it all under control.
Our wedding day was so seamless and smooth (many of our guests noticed and made comments about it too!) thanks to Kim and her team. Every time I looked over at Kim, she was doing a million things all at once doing what she does best.
I really don’t know how she does it. She’s a busy woman with a lot of clients to look after, and yet, she still makes you feel like you’re the only one. We’re so grateful for her.

I loved my wedding thanks to Chere Rosealie!! They made my wedding day dreams come true. My wedding day I did not have to lift a finger or stress at all and that is all thanks to Kim and her team! It was beautiful and stunning and I want to do it all over again!! <3
4/03/2023 • Addie H
Kim was absolutely fantastic! She has so much experience and it truly shows. She just knew when to step in and when to let me take over. Even though our package didn't include her helping with the ceremony rehearsal, she came anyways, which made me feel so much better. There were so many tiny details that Kim just took care of.
3/17/2023 • Cheryl B
We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Chere Rosalie! In just 5 quick months, Kim planned our entire event starting with helping us find our venue! She is an absolute pleasure to work with as well... so professional, kind, and warm. All of our vendors mentioned to me how much they loved working with her and her team. She understood the vision that we had and brought everything to life, even when I felt like I could not perfectly articulate it at times. When the wedding day came, everything was executed to perfection. There was not a single hiccup to our day thanks to Chere Rosalie, which is very rare. My sister is using her as well for her wedding in the Spring, and my mom, sister, and I are so calm knowing we are in their hands!
1/17/2023 • Daisy A
AMAZING wedding coordinator. I am so thankful I decided to go with Kim because she is the definition of a true professional. She executed the entire wedding with so much ease, professionalism, wisdom, expertise, and just overall amazing amazing job. I am so happy with how everything turned out, and how easy it was to work with her. Thank you Kim
11/11/2022 • Natalie E
Kim is a great wedding planner! She helped curate a fantastic list of vendors for us to choose from, and we were so happy with each choice we made. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly with her there! 10/10 would recommend!
10/25/2022 • Lily O
We could NOT have planned our wedding without Cherè Rosalie. Kim and her team made planning our out of state wedding a breeze. Communication was constant, Kim was consistent with emails, follow up calls etc, and helped us every step of the way. We truly cannot recommend Cherè rosalie enough!
8/27/2022 • Mary C
Kim and the team at Chere Rosalie worked with us for over a year and a half. When the day finally arrived everything was amazing. Kim was able to visualize and bring to life my daughter's dream wedding.
Kim always listened to our thoughts and ideas. Her contacts and vendor suggestions were perfect. You look at pictures of weddings and say I like this or that looks great! Never did I realize until working with Kim and her team everything that goes into making that vision a reality.
Without hesitation I recommend Kim and Chere Rosalie. On my daughter"s wedding day I was able to relax and enjoy every moment because I knew they were taking care of everything.
8/23/2022 • Elizabeth C
Kim and Chére Rosalie made our wedding dreams come true. We worked with Kim for a year and a half before the big day, and from our first phone call she was warm, organized, thoughtful, and full of ideas. I never felt like she pushed anything on us, but instead presented many options based on our vision and budget. She made herself readily available to us throughout the planning process via texting, phone calls, zoom, and in person meetings. On the day of the wedding, I could totally relax because she and her team were taking care of all the details and being proactive to deal with any issues that arose. Everything ran smoothly and she maintained her professionalism and friendliness with everyone throughout the entire event. Our wedding exceeded our expectations in so many ways and Kim and her team were a huge part of that. We cannot recommend Kim and Chére Rosalie enough!
7/27/2022 • Tessa B
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding planner, Kim! She made the entire process seamless from the very beginning. She is organized, creative, detail oriented, and a great communicator! Having Kim as our wedding planner was by far the best decision we made! Thank you again SO much for making our special day so unbelievably beautiful! All your clients are lucky to have you!!
7/20/2022 • Sarah C
I would recommend Kim to ANY bride. Not only is she so flexible and detail-oriented, but her team made me feel SO comfortable on my day. They will be your best friends, your security guards, your assistants, and totally run the show. I cannot thank Kim and her team enough.
7/12/2022 • Caroline S
Working with Kim and her team was an amazing experience. Throughout the entire planning process, she felt like a true partner. She took time to really get to know us both as a couple and individually. She really invests in creating a personal relationship with her clients, which makes it easy to collaborate and for her to put together an event that's really meaningful and exactly the way you want it to be. She's organized, incredibly detail-oriented, and prides herself on delivering the best and most special wedding day for brides, grooms, and their families. She also shines on the day of the wedding. She and her team work tirelessly to create a great experience for the couple (especially the bride) and allow for the couple to focus 100% on their day, and none of the logistics. She's truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone!
6/28/2022 • Danielle K
We had a great experience with Chere Rosalie for their coordination services (simple sapphire package). Our coordinator Sarah was just phenomenal throughout the day! Besides being on top of making sure everything was going according to plan, she was also quick on her feet when things came up unexpectedly (as they always do), and was just such a joy to be with all day/night. She brought fantastic energy and our family and friends just adored her. We are so appreciative of everything that both Sarah and Kim did to make our day so special, and look forward to recommending Chere Rosalie to all of our friends getting married in the future!
5/20/2022 • Mariel R
Kim is AMAZING. I would HIGHLY recommend using her and the Chere Rosalie team (and I am very particular!!!). My family and I are absolutely blown away by Kim’s incredible planning abilities and enjoyed every minute of working with her. We worked with Kim from day one on everything from the floral design, invitations, photographer options, hair and makeup to every detail of planning our large destination wedding weekend at Cedar Lakes Estate. As a very busy bride with limited time to spend on wedding planning, Kim worked tirelessly to turn our vision into a wedding weekend for 300 people that exceeded our expectations. She helped us to create a truly unique and one of kind experience focused on every small detail for our guests. Our guests are still talking about our weekend as the best wedding weekend they've ever attended. Kim is very detailed and has a very special way of creating a unique experience based on getting to know the bride and groom. When we were stuck on what decisions to make, she provide options quickly and clearly. Our wedding weekend went off without a single glitch (very rare for a 3 day 300 person event). With Kim we got to enjoy every minute of the weekend and focus on having a great time, as she and her team handled it all. She is very professional, thoughtful, kind and well networked in the New York and surrounding community. I HIGHLY recommend Kim and the Chere Rosalie team for any event large or small. They planned and executed the wedding weekend of my dreams, and I already miss working with them.

Kim is absolutely amazing! Like many we had to pivot due to the pandemic and Kim was there for us every step of the way! Kim spent time getting to know us in order to ensure our wedding reflected our personalities. Kim is extremely creative, organized, patient, flexible and responsive! Kim always made herself available throughout the whole planning process and spent multiple hours with us prior to our wedding day to ensure all details were properly mapped out. Thanks to Kim, my wedding day turned out to be absolutely amazing! Kim made sure the day went as smooth as possible, worked with all our vendors to ensure setup was perfect based on our requests, and kept us on track. We were able to fully enjoy the day without a worry! Kim made our day truly special! We highly recommend Kim and the Chere Rosalie team!
11/14/2021 • Hilary O
Kim is truly amazing!! It was such a pleasure to work with her for our wedding. Her energy was exactly what we needed from our planner -- organized, responsive, patient, flexible. Our wedding day was perfect, and most importantly, we enjoyed it to its fullest – thank you, Kim, for making this happen for us! We are so grateful to have worked with someone so thoughtful and reliable.
We hired Kim with a “month of” coordination package. Her pre-wedding day support was surprisingly robust and greatly appreciated! I had been optimistic that I could cover most of the planning myself, but in the weeks leading up, all the details really start to pile up and decision fatigue set in. Enter: Kim. We had a deep dive call where I laid everything out – planned and unplanned. I could tell she genuinely cared with how she invested herself into this process. She took time to understand the vision, and then jumped right in, making suggestions and taking initiative. She worked directly with our venue and vendors on logistics and nailed down the timelines and seating arrangements – offering much needed expertise in these areas. At the last minute, she even offered up some “extras” from her arsenal for our use - a card box & easel – crossing off those last lingering to-do’s that were distracting us from enjoying the weekend ahead.
On the day of our wedding, Kim was the backbone of the day. She knew the schedule like back of her hand. She was *everywhere* we needed her to be and invisible all the same. She ran around the venue, a 500 acre property, making sure everything was in order – checking in on the vendors, cross-referencing our contracts to account for all deliverables, orchestrating various activities we had planned for guests, all the while keeping time and subtly shepherding around the wedding party through getting-ready, photos, ceremony. She fully took the lead on all logistics for the day – even putting out unexpected “fires” like a blown fuse in the bridal suite. This allowed my husband and I to fully immerse ourselves in the day, focus on our guests, and enjoy.
We were truly impressed with the level of support we received, both leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Kim – we cannot thank you enough!

When we decided to have a wedding instead of using the convenient excuse of COVID to skip, I knew that we would be hiring a planner to help with the contract/scope negotiations and logistics. Kim and the team were great. They found us an amazing wedding venue along with great vendors that aligned with the vision/style of the wedding. From the beginning, it was important that we find a planner that was on our side and could negotiate with vendors so that we weren’t just giving in to the COVID premium and Kim did a fantastic job. Kim was very patient and understanding even through our moments of indecisiveness or just general wedding frustrations. I am very detailed oriented and Kim was able to be the partner I needed to get through the wedding process. The wedding itself was amazing and all the guests were so blown away with all the thoughtful details throughout the day. Kim and the team handled the day wonderfully and allowed us to just enjoy the experience. We can very much say that we are happy that we had the wedding (and for those who know me, that is saying a lot)
9/30/2021 • Maddy B
Kim is phenomenal! She is so kind, patient, and flexible, and her attention to detail is amazing. She made the process of moving and rescheduling our wedding as stress free as possible. She is so fun to work with and I would recommend her to everyone!
9/12/2021 • Christina C
Kim is an amazing wedding coordinator. She met with me periodically before the wedding day and texted me with covid updates constantly. We were on a zoom call going through the details of my wedding for 3 hours one night! I do not think my wedding would've been as smooth as it was if Kim was not there. She brought her fellow coordinator friend Jen to help out and there would have been blips and bumps in our itinerary and in the day if they were not there to guide us and keep us on schedule. I felt as though I could truly relax on my wedding day thanks to them and felt very safe leaving everything up to them!! Kim is amazing and I couldn't recommend her enough. Everyone needs a wedding coordinator!
9/10/2021 • Charles D
Kim was a godsend during the entirety of our wedding planning experience, which lasted more than a year. She was incredibly responsive, generous with her time, and knowledgeable about every detail. She was our biggest advocate and supporter when the inevitable snag occurred during the planning process. We trusted her advice and decision making without hesitation and ended up with the most gorgeous wedding that we could have imagined. This was easily the best money we spent - if you want to relieve a great deal of the wedding stress, you can't do any better than working with a planner like Kim!
8/23/2021 • Kimberly R
Kim was an amazing planner and was so wonderful to work with! We pivoted, like many couples, from a wedding in BK to a smaller wedding at our home in CT. Every time we spoke, she was so optimistic and helped us create a fairy tale wedding. We loved every moment of our wedding and the experience working with Kim was absolutely perfect. Chère Rosalie is a dream team and they are absolute professionals! Book them!
7/27/2021 • Menna E
Ok, where do i start? Kim planned our dream wedding. I walked into this wedding planning process so overwhelmed until I found Kim! And thank goodnessI did. She made the experience so painless and fun! She is so creative, organized, and on top of it. Believe me when i say you will not regret choosing her for your big day. We love you Kim!
6/12/2021 • Lianne W
Kim made our wedding day truly special. We had gone back and forth with Covid unsure if we could even pull the day off. Once we realized that our entire party would be vaccinated in time, Kim planned our wedding in 5 days. No joke. We told her on a Thursday and by the following Thursday we had a venue, flowers, photographer, hair and make up all booked. On the day, the venue was gorgeous and Kim planned everything seamlessly. It was an actual no stress wedding. We didn't have to lift a finger. It is truly a day I'll remember forever. Before this wedding, I didn't believe in hiring a planner but now I wouldn't do a wedding not only without one but without KIM! I highly recommend Kim and her company Chère Rosalie. If you get to have her as a wedding planner - you are truly blessed and your day will be spectacular.
5/29/2021 • Tiina G
Since day one, we were drawn to Kim's personality and style. She took the time to get to know us, knew all of the right questions to ask and areas to proactively plan for. She was amazing at advising us on our vendor and style decisions, while also strived to keep us budget conscious throughout the whole experience. She curated a unique event that represented our vision and executed it flawlessly. Kim was extremely detailed and she continuously put all concerns to rest through her strong organization skills and attention to detail. She took the reigns the whole day of, which allowed us and our family/friends to enjoy the day. Our family continuously commented about how nonstop she was day of and yet was so genuinely helpful and kind to them, helping them with their needs throughout the way, while ensuring the event from start to finish went off without a hitch!
Response from the Vendor on 06/04/2021
Awee Tiina! Thank you so so much for such a thoughtful review. I still can't believe we don't talk every day anymore. It was such a pleasure getting to know you, Greg and your pups though out the entire process :-) You two cared so deeply about...
all the details and it made my job even more fun.
And it truly brought tears to my eyes watching it all come together on your wedding day. The sun came out just in time, the setting was breathtaking, the food was delicious, the flowers were perfect, I could go on. But most importantly, you and Greg were able to celebrate your love in such a special way in front of those you cherish most. Thank you for letting me be part of it all :-)
5/24/2021 • Meylin M
We couldn't have gotten luckier! Kim was heaven-sent to us; we had to postpone our wedding a week before it was scheduled to happen due to Covid. The process of re-planning was disheartening but finding Kim changed everything for us. She was responsive, organized, energetic, and a delight. Her enthusiasm helped me feel excited again and stress-free. The day of the wedding, Kim kept things running smoothly; everyone raved about her. Our ceremony was scheduled to happen outdoors but it was raining all day. Kim quickly came up with a back up plan that made us feel at ease; she was reassuring and I knew that with her running the ship, everything was going to be perfect. And it was! Kim loves what she is doing and that is the best energy to have on your special day. Don't think about it twice - every bride and groom needs Kim on their team!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2021
Awe Meylin!!
I was so excited when you first reached out to me because you had gone through so much just to get married but you were determined to make it perfect. I truly enjoyed getting to know you during the process and of course, seeing you...
in your dress brought tears to my eyes because you were just as beautiful on the outside as on the inside. Thank you for your incredibly kind words and for letting me be a small part in your special day. Cannot wait to see you and Wes take on the world as husband and wife.
Much love, Kim

From the first Zoom call we had I fell in love with Kim! Her attention to detail was incredible! Her responsiveness, energetic personality, and love for love made planning my wedding the easy process! Cant thank Kim enough for all she did to make the wedding planning process go smooth!
1/13/2021 • Sarah W
Kim at Chere Rosalie was amazing in helping us plan a wedding in less than 30 days after COVID put a stop to our original plans. She was extremely responsive and organized every step of the way. I felt 100% comfortable that Kim had everything under control, which allowed me to be stress free in the planning process (which says a lot when planning a wedding in less than a month!). Would highly recommend Chere Rosalie to future bride and grooms!
Response from the Vendor on 01/23/2021
Sarah!
Thank you so much for such a sweet review. It was so wonderful getting to know you during the planning process. You're such a kind and beautiful person and I wish you and Kevin a lifetime of happiness.

Kim was essential to making our wedding day flawless. She helped us navigate wedding planning in 2020 and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We are so thankful for everything her and her team did and can’t recommend her enough!

"Kim is the best," is a phrase my husband and I must have said to each other minimum 100x in our short 4-week wedding planning process. And there are so many reasons why:
Kim understood our vision immediately. I'd show her a picture of something I liked -- just as general inspiration -- and within hours she'd send me back something I could actually rent/buy that matched the picture almost exactly.
She respected our budget. She was so adept at scouring the internet for affordable yet stylish pieces -- I assumed she only worked in that mode. But after peeping her Instagram, I saw that she's also a champion of the truly fancy NYC wedding. The woman does it all!
She rolled up her sleeves, signing herself up for almost every DIY job of the wedding.
She is -- BONUS -- a Photoshop wizard and did things like design a menu for us which really just put the finishing touches on the day and made the wedding feel like it wasn't planned in 4 weeks.
She was so, so, so available and on top of things.
She knew how important it was to keep the wedding Covid safe. She carefully measured the space and then figured out how to put 7 to 8 feet between each table.
She is pure joy. She was our cheerleader. She loves what she's doing, and it shows.
Like I said, Kim is THE best. I was never the kind of gal to dream and dream about my wedding. But, when I think back on the day, I feel straight giddy. Kim made it magical.
Kim, we can't thank you enough.

Ali! I'm like crying reading your review. It's truly remarkable thinking about meeting you and Justin for the first time at the house and seeing how much we got done in such a short amount of time. You two were an absolute pleasure to work with...
throughout the entire process, making it fun every step of the way. You both had such positive energy and were so open to going with the flow despite having to change your original wedding plans. Getting to know you both, your pup and your families throughout the 4 weeks was such a highlight of the year and I will remember all of it forever. Thank you for letting me be part of your special day!
So much love,
Kim
P.S. we'll be over soon for puppy playdates and s'mores ;-)

I found Kim online after I randomly searched for a wedding planner for a wedding I had 3 months to plan for. I told her everything I wanted and she executed all of my ideas perfectly. She is resourceful and very attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. Kim made sure she was there from beginning till the end on our wedding day. Planning a wedding in three months wasn’t apart of my original plan but with all of her help, I have no regrets, it was exactly what we wanted.

Hey Krystina,
Thank you so so much for your incredibly kind review. We had such a blast helping you and Teddy put together your wedding after your original plans had to be canceled because of COVID. You were the absolute sweetest the entire pro...

So much love,

Your wedding is in the absolute best hands with Kim! No task is too big (or too small) for her to perfect, and she won’t stop until you are happy. I got myself into some hot water with a scammy videographer, and Kim literally saved my day by finding the best possible backup. She also helped me with a day-of timeline that kept the whole day running smoothly and on time. Not only will you leave with a perfectly executed wedding after working with Kim, but you will also have a lifelong friendship. I can’t thank you enough for everything!

Thank you so much for your incredible review. I still cannot believe that wedding videographer, it makes my blood boil. But once you came to me and told me what happened, I was so thrilled to help you find someone new. And honestly, y...
our wedding video is GORGEOUS and so was your whole French-inspired wedding. I still dream about the delicious food. So glad to call you one of our brides, but more importantly to call you a friend :-)
So much love,
Kim

We can’t say enough about how incredible Kim was during our wedding weekend. We had a 3-day celebration, including a 130-person welcome party at the bride’s parents’ house the day before the wedding, 150 guests at the wedding, and a farewell brunch for all the guests (also at the parents’ house) the day after, and having on-site coordinators was essential. From the beginning, we knew that we wanted to handle the planning/general direction of our wedding weekend ourselves, and wanted someone to help execute on the day of so that we could enjoy everything and spend time with our guests. Kim and her team were exactly what we needed at a really fair price that easily fit within our budget. They walked us through every detail in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and Kim executed everything to perfection. The whole team was extremely professional, organized, and on top of every detail. We didn’t have to worry about anything and could just have fun the entire weekend. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Thank you Sharon! You and Fritz were such a fun couple and planned the most spectacular wedding weekend. You truly thought of everything down to the smallest detail and made everything so easy to follow and execute. Thank you for letting us be ...
part of your special day. We wish you both all the best as you continue your lives together!

Kim was the perfect day-of coordinator on our wedding day. I knew I could rely on her and didn't feel stressed throughout the day knowing she's there to help take care of things. There is absolutely no way we could have managed to have a calm and joyful wedding day without having Kim there taking care of us. Do yourself a favor, get a day of coordinator and most importantly hire Kim.

Hey Kat!
It was such a pleasure being part of your special day at the Prospect Park Boathouse. I have so many fond memories of that day, but nothing stands out more than your first dance with Ed out by the water. Still brings a huge smile to my...
face when thinking about it. You two have so much love and respect for each other, it was beautiful to witness. Thank you for this kind note and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Kim was the coordinator for our November wedding and we LOVED working with her. She handled every one of our wedding twists and turns like a champ and was magically always there when we needed her. She worked with all of our vendors seamlessly and made it all look easy. Every single thing was in it’s right place—with little to no instructions from us (the overwhelmed bride and groom). We can’t imagine any other human doing a better job. When we left at the end of the night we were sad to see her go, but happy to have known her for a few hours. Couldn’t recommend more.

Kim, WHERE DO WE BEGIN?! We cannot thank you enough for all of the magic you worked on our big day. On a day with so much pressure and stress levels running high, you brought an air of calm and ensured everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly. Any time there was a question, concern, issue, or missing item, you were on top of it, allowing us and our families to relax and take in the wonderful day. You brought such a positive energy to our day with your kindness, AND you were able to respectfully and effectively crack the whip when we needed to get people moving to stay on schedule. :) One of the most common things we said and heard throughout the day and night was “Thank god for Kim!” You were absolutely amazing, and we really don’t know what we would have done without you and your thorough attention to detail and your ability to execute. Hiring a day of coordinator, and specifically you, was THE BEST decision we made when planning for this big day. Thank you again so much. Words cannot describe how important you were to making our day perfect. So much love, Holly and Alex :) <3
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2019
Holly and Alex, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. It brings such joy to my heart knowing that I could help make sure your wedding day even more special. Both you and your families were an absolutely pleasure to work with and I could...
just feel how much you two love each other. I'll never forget you or your wedding. I know you two will have a lifetime of happiness, love and adventure (based on your honeymoon pics). Wish you all the best :-)

Kim Pestalozzi was my day of coordinator for my NYC wedding in August. The day ran smoothly and Kim was essential in making that happen. She anticipated my every need and was always thinking 10 steps ahead. Kim pretty much spent the day racing around, but when I needed her she was there within moments. She was prompt and professional at all times. Kim came prepared with a bag full of items that you might need but hadn't thought to bring. We were a very large group and Kim made it seem so easy managing us. Several of my bridesmaids later told me that Kim was amazing and so helpful. My mom later told me that she had no idea how we could have done anything that day without Kim. Thank you so much Kim!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/13/2019
Shana, thank you so much for your kind words. I loved coordinating your rehearsal dinner and wedding. The way everyone spoke about your love for each other is a true testament to your relationship. Thank you for letting me part of your special ...

Kim was absolutely amazing to have on the day of my wedding. She was beyond professional and responsible, managing to ensure the entire day ran smoothly–all while having an amazing attitude that kept everyone in great spirits! I cannot recommend her enough and am lucky to have had her as part of our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 12/11/2019
Thank you so much Allison for your incredibly kind words. I'll never forget your wedding because it truly showcased your style and individuality. You, Felipe and your family were wonderful to work with! All the best :-)

Words cannot begin to describe the level of commitment, talent and genuine interest Kim showed us throughout this special process. She made the whole experience (surprisingly) memorable and enjoyable, alleviating SO much stress and pressure most brides and grooms experience leading up to and on their big day. Kim was a calming spirit that I so desperately needed during that crazy time. She demonstrated her incredible experience as a producer to direct and manage everyone involved and kept us all on schedule, which, as you will learn, is so unbelievably important. She so effortlessly made my vision a reality - she truly went above and beyond for us. She genuinely cares about her clients’ happiness and will stop at nothing to make sure everything is done right. She is passionate about love and the memories you make on your wedding day, and her services reflect that. She carried herself in a professional and poised manner at all times and in all aspects, and represented me in the best way when coordinating with vendors. Every single detail exceeded ALL our expectations and we are eternally grateful for the beautiful memories she helped us create! Seriously, look no further because you have found a true gem. We love you, Kim!!

Kim coordinated my wedding and post wedding brunch. Going with Kim was one of the best decisions I made during the entire planning process. Kim made everything seamless and her calming organized presence let me go through the weekend without worrying about a single thing.
Kim is incredible and extremely organized, she understood every detail of the day and kept us all on schedule. We had a 200 person wedding and Kim handled everything with ease and grace even when my husband needed a button reinforced post-ceremony and my matron of honor split open a seam on her dress. Kim was right there and sewed everyone back together. I had no idea the dress had even tore until the next day! Kim has a magical way of anticipating our every need and kept us very well hydrated on a hot NY day.
Kim not only coordinated the brunch the following day by managing setup and dealing with vendors but also directed the staff working during the brunch. Kim was an absolute joy to work with, I cannot recommend this company enough. Stop looking and just book them!

Owner
Kim discovered her passion for weddings after having to plan her own in just 7 weeks due to an unexpected family illness. In the midst of the last-minute scramble to find a venue and vendors, get dress alterations, send out invitations and more, she never felt overwhelmed: she felt energized. The day turned out perfectly and Kim knew she wanted to help other couples make their "I Do" dreams come true. As a producer at a national TV news program, Kim began freelancing as a wedding coordinator in NYC before launching her own planning firm Chère Rosalie.
