Kiersten excels at everything that has to do with planning anything from birthday parties to weddings. I found her at the perfect time and she truly was a blessing in disguise. I was frantic and flailing about trying to plan our wedding, unsure of where to start. Our first phone call went so well, it immediately felt like she was a friend who was looking out for you. We went and toured a few venues, caterer tasting and met up many times to go over everything and talk things through. She helped coordinate and was the point of contact for all of our vendors and she truly did amazing with all of it. I can wholeheartedly say she planned and put together such an amazing wedding for us, it was gorgeous and I loved everything about it. She will fight for you to get things done to make your vision come true. I can't say enough great things about Kiersten. She is such a genuine person and is soooo incredibly kind. Thank you so much for being there for us, Kiersten!

Kiersten was absolutely the best coordinator I could have asked for. She helped make my dream wedding come true. She was extremely organized and such a great resource for my million questions. There was not a single thing that went wrong or that I would have changed and that was because of Kiersten and her team. She was so supportive as well and constantly checked in on me throughout the whole stressful planning process. There is no one I could recommend more.

Kiersten is absolutely AMAZING! She is such a breath of fresh air! She made the wedding planning process so easy. Her bubbly personality made her great to work with and she had great connections to the best florist, caterer, and bartenders! I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding planner that will do it all!

I highly recommend Kiersten to anyone looking for a wedding or event planner who will go above and beyond to make your day/event perfect!

Kiersten is an angel. She’s the best of the best. She’s calm cool, collected, and genuine. She listens and will exceed your expectations. She’s not the kind of coordinator in which you call only on assigned times. No that’s not Kiersten, she is literally there for you every step of the way. She’s the best. My fiancé and I never felt alone and trusted her wholeheartedly. She treats everyone with respect. My wedding day was absolute perfection!! She has great connections of vendors all of whom work really well , very professional. Kiersten was the best investment we could have made.

Kiersten knows her stuff! She thought of 1627292 things I hadn’t thought of, because she is thorough and methodical. She knows exactly what to do to ensure that your wedding day is perfection. I thought I could just be my own day-of coordinator. I mean, I teach high school choir performing arts - I’m basically an event planner for teens, right? HAHAHAHAHA. While that may be true, it is NOT THE SAME, my fellow brides. Hire her. You will NOT REGRET IT. She is worth every single penny and then some.

We couldn’t be happier with the hands on service we received from Kiersten! She went above and beyond in every aspect of planning our wedding. She is professional, detailed, enthusiastic and such a kind person! She definitely made planning a wedding from across the country a breeze for us! I would highly recommend her!

Kiersten was the glue that held the weeding together (other than the love my husband and I share, of course)! All jokes aside she was amazing. She checked in with me weekly in the months leading up to the wedding. She gave her opinion when I needed help making decisions, thought of things I had forgotten and celebrated with me like we had been friends for years. The day of the wedding there were a few issues (nothing due to her) and she navigated them with grace and ease, allowing me to enjoy my wedding day. I would hire her a million times over. She delivered so much more than what I expected for a day of coordinator. Definitely the best!
