K. Barner Events

eral months throughout the design and planning process, has been wonderful. Without Kisha, this entire process would have been so stressful. She has helped out with so much - giving great advice, beautiful design ideas, problem solving and more. I do not know what I would have done without her. Best investment and I can't wait until I can have my wedding and have them there with me! Thank you for all you have done Kisha and Pure Ambiance!

plan my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Boy, did, she put her heart and soul into it!! From the initial narrowing down of the theme and colors to visiting the party site with me and planning the layout of the room to her wonderful vendor contacts to the minor details she and her team put into the presentation of the centerpieces / lounge furniture/ table and chair choices/ bar options/ party favors/attention to our budget and guidance in the timeline of the whole day, they were incredible. Her responsiveness to my multiple emails, texts and phone calls over the last few months was unbelievable. Kisha's vision of how the room could look was right on the money!!! I went to my daughter's morning service while Kisha and her team set up the room and we came back to a transformed temple ballroom ---- my daughter was on cloud nine!!! Multiple guests came up to me during the party to ask who had helped me and I was even told by one woman who had attended multiple parties over the years in that space that it had never looked that wonderful --- the day went seamlessly and Kisha, Belinda and her team were overseeing the whole time behind the scenes. I don't know how to thank you, Kisha --- I'm planning to call and book the date I just received for my younger daughters' Bat Mitzvah in 2017!!!

ways give her honest opinion along the wedding planning journey. I was so relaxed on our wedding day because I knew that Kisha had everything in order. Belinda was extremely helpful steaming dresses, running errands and keeping us right on schedule.....I don't know what I would have done without her! Thanks PA for your vision, professionalism, and hard work! I highly recommend Kisha & Pure Ambiance for your next event.

re Ambiance did that for us. They researched and provided me with info needed on many venues. They visited the venues with us and saved us money per person. It was worth the headache it saved me and gave me time to focus on the fun stuff.

the colors and the overall feeling I wanted my guests to experience and both times, they knocked it out of the park! They're always coming up with ideas that are out of the box and isn't something you typically see. So many guests are wowed by everything and that's exactly what we wanted. Always a great experience with Kisha and her team. I will continue to use Pure Ambiance as my go-to Planners and Designers for any event I have coming up!

CTION & tailor-made just for YOU and your guest! Leaving memories that will be talked about for years to come! I am grateful that I was able to experience all of their work first hand!

Kisha not only made our dream wedding come true but made it a million times better. We were able to enjoy the most important day of our lives and have fun because of Kisha and her team. I would highly recommend Pure Ambiance Event Design for any type of event; they were the best from day one to the day of my wedding. To walk in our venue room and see how incredible it looked was amazing and unforgettable. The way they got to know me and my husband's tastes and incorporate every detail about us into our wedding was amazing! Kisha and her team are definitely planning all our upcoming events in the future. We are so thankful to them forever and they are always going to be a big part of the most important day of our lives. Thank you so much Kisha & Pure Ambiance. -Andrea & Elvin L.

t has grown each year. It was our pleasure to hire Kisha Barner from Pure Ambiance Event Design. I have had the experience to see Kisha and her team in action with some of my clients and was highly impressed by her professional staff, creativity and work ethics. Working with Pure Ambiance helped our event become more successful than ever and we look forward to continuing to work with Pure Ambiance in the future for our Girls Night Out event and future events. We would recommend Kisha and her staff to anyone looking for an Event Planner/Designer for any corporate, formal, or informal event and of course, a wedding. Thank you Pure Ambiance to help make our Girls Night Out event a true success!

etting back to me within 24 hours. Go with Pure Ambiance because you will NOT be disappointed!!!!

ial consultation, she was personable, professional and if possible, made me even more excited than I already was to get married to my then fiancé. We went with the Complete Package and worked with Kisha and team for about 15 months leading up to the wedding. Her team was extremely organized around monthly tasks to ensure that every detail was addressed and that every idea that we brainstormed somehow fit together seamlessly. She also sent out my wedding invitations, tracked my RSVP’s, attended every meeting with every vendor, managed the vendors, and managed our expectations, in addition to SO much more! The team made sure that EVERYTHING ran smoothly, from the time that we woke up until it was time to get on the bus at the end of the reception. They contacted all my vendors and confirmed all my details and even gave me a detailed timeline of all wedding events. The day was one that we will never forget; I got to be a stress-free Bride (they exist) and my husband, a happy Groom and we did not have a single worry that day and we owe it all to Kisha and the Pure Ambiance Event Design team.

! They not only referred me to great professionals, but also respected all of our ideas and made my dream wedding come true. I'm really thankful to the whole crew who made my day a stress free experience. ~Thais & Jermaine T.

flowers to rentals. The guests were so impressed with the look of the wedding, that they were taking pictures of the reception hall for 10minutes before evening taking thier seats!

orked with them for my wedding. Kisha Barner is amaze-balls! She is lovely, self-assured and inspiring. I appreciated her candor, taste level and ability to handle vendors with tactful assertiveness. Pure Ambiance team did an amazing job from beginning to end. 6 months after getting engaged my husband and I were married. Working with Kisha we planned the wedding in a short time frame, on a budget, and did not miss a beat. This was the most stress free process I’ve ever experienced. As I was getting dressed on the day of the wedding, I remember being the most tranquil person in the bridal suite. Why? Because I knew the Pure Ambiance team was on top of everything. The reception décor was resplendent. My husband and I were blown away when we walked into the reception venue. We were impressed with the level of detail and care the Pure Ambiance team took in executing what was the happiest day of our life together thus far. I can not thank them enough for taking great care of me, my husband, our bridal party and guests. Thank you so much Kisha, Samantha and Belinda for being my everything!

up during the big day. I always thought I was very organized well-prepared, but everything just hit me on the last couple of months before the wedding. Luckily we found Kisha so our big day flowed FLAWLESSLY! Meeting Kisha for the first time was just fabulous! She was very professional, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. My husband and I were more drawn to vendors that approached us in on personal level and Kisha was just like that! She listened to what we wanted, she asked all the right questions, and gave us such good advice with our wedding. There were so many moments during the planning when she made me realize different things we would've easily missed. The last month, things just got crazy for us but Kisha was there all the way. She answered my texts, emails, and calls immediately, and made sure we were right on track with our planning. Day, night, or dawn, I was impressed that she would always respond back so quickly! Our wedding day was seriously the BEST DAY EVER. And Kisha and her fabulous assistant, Belinda, help make that happen. I especially liked how Kisha waited for the right moment to start the ceremony so late-comers won't see me in my dress while walking from the limo to the church. Belinda stayed with me and our bridal party in the cold rain. She held up my big gown so it won't get wet while holding an umbrella on top of my head as I took pictures. Our reception was just flawless, even looked better than what we anticipated. Two of our aunts were sick that night and they helped them up to our bridal suite and gave them Tums or tea, checking on them every now and then! Nurse-wedding-planners much? =) These girls can do it all. We would highly recommend them =)

top talking about the event and my family and I can't thank you enough! Even Robert was pleased and is looking forward to seeing our wedding unfold in a few months. You are great at what you do and I pray that God continues to stir your creativity and surround you with good people and that you are blessed beyond what you could ever imagine! We are a witness that God truly makes dreams come true... you guys helped us celebrate that with nothing more than PURE AMBIANCE!!

ails of the linens and table settings we were blown away! I felt a special connection with Kisha and Tomyka because they always made me feel at ease and like everything was under control. Kisha made herself available throughout our planning stages whenever we needed her, she was always punctual, well organized and professional. Our design presentations were done impeccably and helped us to narrow down our themes, designs etc. The team thought of all those "little details" that a bride and groom some times forget. Even after the wedding was over- I was given directions by Tomyka on how to preserve my cake top for our 1st anniversary! I must admit I have been having separation anxiety because I miss the team so much since the wedding is over- they really felt like family. I would highly recommend Pure Ambiance Event Planning for anyone who wants an exquisite event!

kers at the venue commented that they had never seen the ballroom styled so beautifully. Kisha understood my vision and the vibe I was going for and was able to execute our dream wedding flawlessly.

email Kisha more than 50 times a day and she replied to each one promptly which I appreciated very much given the fact that I wasnt her only bride. Knowing that she was not only planning my wedding she always gave me her undivided attention while out and about choosing items for my venue. The day of my wedding was amazing "Kisha and her team were everywhere I turned. The decor at the venue was just Breathtaking and I was just in awe to see every detail the way she said it would be. Choosing Pure Ambiance to plan our wedding was the BEST decision that we made. I am forever grateful to the PA Team for making our dream come true!

ed exactly who i am and what i love! Kisha and her team are hands down the BEST in the industry!

and she was just as excited about our big day as we were! And from the start of the planning process, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing Kisha. She exceeded all of our expectations from the beginning. Our first step was to find the perfect venue. Kisha took us to the venues that we selected from a list of places she researched based on what we were looking for and our budget. She was right by our side when we walked into and picked our PERFECT wedding day venue. After we selected our venue, the next step was to select all of our vendors. I have to say that Kisha nailed it with every single vendor! From the stationary design, to the DJ, hair and makeup stylists, the Reverend, and to the florist - Kisha was there at every single appointment and every vendor was FANTASTIC! Kisha's relationships with these exceptional vendors is the reason our big day went so smooth. They all worked together flawlessly throughout the entire night! Kisha's team hit the ground running as soon as they arrived on the day of our wedding. They were there everywhere we looked quickly helping out with any request we needed. I have never met such sweet and kind-hearted girls like the Pure Ambiance Team. In addition to the amazing vendors Kisha helped us to select, she has an incredible ability to envision and execute a beautifully designed setting. On the day of our wedding, when my husband and I walked into the reception, we could not believe how beautiful everything looked. It was surreal how beautiful our reception looked, and we absolutely felt like we were living a fairytale. Our wedding looked and felt so uniquely beautiful because of Kisha. Our wedding was flawless, and I would not change a single aspect of it! She knows exactly what she's doing and will give any bride and groom a PERFECT wedding day no matter what they are looking for. You absolutely must choose Kisha as she is the absolute best in the industry! Thank you soooo much, Kisha!!" I hope this is good enough and expresses how thankful I am to have had you there to help me plan our wedding! I really could not have done it without you, Kisha! And I am sooo sad that it's over. I will miss you so much as you have been such an incredible part of our lives. I don't know how many times Gus has said how incredibly happy he was and how perfect our wedding day was! He's a tough guy to please and you made him sooooo happy!!! I am getting all emotional now so I will stop, but I really appreciate everything you did for us and I really really really would not change any part of our wedding. I can't wait to see your baby!! Best of luck to you and your family and to Pure Ambiance! You have created such an extraordinary business and it must feel so incredible to make people feel this happy!

weather should be nice just the chance of it raining. Well the day finally came is there was forecast of a chance of thunderstorms but we werent sure what time it would start. I texted Kisha early in the morning and told her asked her to look into getting a tent. within 1 hour Kisha did her research and reached out to a few companies to get me a tent. I was getting dressed at the hotel with another PA member while Kisha was at the park setting up. Well of course it began to rain, yet Kisha and her team kept me calm and made me believe that I didnt have to worry about anything. She was able to move the ceremony to a new location within 2 hours of the starting time. The ceremony was beautiful as if it was planned for months. And when I walked into the reception room I couldnt believe it was so beautiful. The entire design concept Kisha came up with was georgeous! I received so many compliments about my wedding day and none of it would have been executed if it wasnt for the Pure Ambiance Team!!!

turned them into a dream come true. Despite the mud and the humidity, we will always cherish our big day and the beauty that surrounded us. We couldn't of done it without you! Many thanks to you and your team. With sincerity and joy, Allison and Mike

all on Kisha and it would be taken care of right away. During the process Kisha provided great recommended vendors and saved us money on lots of things, including our venue. Kisha got us everything that we needed for our wedding day. It was stress free; there was nothing we had to worry about. Even though we had an issue with the Florist that morning, everything was fine! Kisha drove over an hour to the Florist to make sure that everything was okay so we didn't have to worry about it. Her Team was with us all day and took care of anything we needed. They even got us food and drinks when needed :) The overall experience was great and stress free. I'm so glad that we had them; it was the best decision we made!

iance is the one for you! Thanks again ladies!

hower. I wanted different and creative ideas for my sisters day and that is what they provided me. I did not want your typical bridal shower and the best compliment you can receive from guests is that they had a great time and they were so happy that it was not your typical setting. The decor, food, atmosphere and entertainment was top notch and guests are still talking about the event. If you are looking for expertise in event planning, ease of communication on your ideas and a team that will implement your vision...this is the team.

y so special.

The decor was amazing.. I loved every single part of it.. I absolutely loved the lighting and my sweetheart table! The ceremony and reception tables were romantic just the way I imagined them! The rain didn't take away from it but instead it enhanced the romanticness and intimacy! I know, I was a pain and sometimes a biatch but thanks for all your patience and professionalism!! You definitely are the best wedding planner! Everybody has said how beautiful everything came out! Now I can truly say every bride needs a wedding planner.. Especially for all those last minute changes and for perfect timing and decor!! My husband and mom saw how hard you worked and kept reminding me about it all night.. So that's why I can say you are the best!!! Hope to work with you in the future and will recommend you to others! Helen

ally hired her for “partial planning” b/c by the time I found her, I had already booked all the big pieces including: ceremony venue, officiant, reception venue, caterer, photographer, hair & make up. So the only vendors I needed some help with were the florist & the DJ. She included in her “partial planning” was the “event design” where she presented me with 3 options for flower arrangements, escort cards, etc. I DIYed most of the pieces for our wedding. Nothing she presented me with was anything I had never seen before on this website or wedding blogs but it fit with the overall look I wanted for our wedding. Either way, I knew I needed someone to set everything up & take everything down the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding, our ceremony & reception were set up perfectly. I was very happy with how everything looked. Kisha had 4 girls working at the wedding & although I do not know how much they did & how much the caterer set up, it all looked exactly the way I wanted it to. That being said, there were FIVE people from Pure Ambiance working our wedding. Yet, many of my guests were not directed where to go for cocktail hour, they were not instructed on what to do with our “thumbprint tree” (and I was told someone was going to stand next to it to go over it), and when questions were asked, they weren’t always answered nicely. My mother asked one of the girls where I was & she shrugged & said “How should I know?”. All of them ate before all of my guests got to go to the buffet line. MY SISTER was behind them in line & I think it was completely inappropriate. If I were working at someone’s wedding & noticed that the MOH was behind me in line, I would have moved. At one point, I was pulled aside from dancing with my guests to be asked if any of the desserts had nuts (I did not know) & then I asked if any of my guests were allergic. No… one of the PA girls wanted to eat dessert & wanted to know. Isn’t the solution to that question very simple? Ask the caterer OR just don’t eat dessert. Yes, I have to feed you & I did (even before all my GUESTS ate) but you really don’t need to sample all of the desserts if you aren’t sure which ones have nuts. And who stops the bride to ask that type of question when you are the planner? So many of my guests made comments about how all of them sat the whole night & looked like they were guests at our wedding, eating, drinking, & chatting it up all night. At the end of the night, we had already discussed having them pack everything up so my parents could bring home. I had 26 lanterns that were put together & they wanted to put all the lanterns in the car w/o breaking them down. My mother had to ask them to please take them apart & put them back in their boxes. I emailed Kisha about my feelings especially since I was going to be writing a review & I got an email back explaining her feelings, & I appreciated it & thought it was professional. Overall, I do not think their services are up to par to the cost & I would not recommend her or her “staff”.

ur wedding possible and Kisha has been there even after the cancellation of her services. She helped cancel all of our vendors and helped with figuring out our remaining finances. It's unfortunate that we could not continue our services with her. I truly recommend her. She has helped me out so much, even after we cancelled! :)

verything and is honest about what she thinks, which is exactly what we wanted. In addition, she has saved us so much money. Kisha and her team have become a part of our family. We could never have done this without her. :)

up with great reviews. I gave her a call and that's pretty much the end of it. I had a few other planners to interview on my list but both my fiance and I felt so comfortable with Kisha that we knew we were set. We're not too far into our planning right now but every step of the way Kisha and her team have been the right balance for everything we need. They are prompt in responding, full of ideas and the easiest people to work with. This woman is an absolute gem and I not only recommend her , but highly recommend her (would in a heartbeat). Our wedding is the best hands I could imagine. She prices well and fairly; Your money is well spend. Her imagination, attention to detail, and experience make will make everything perfect. We just recently found the venue pf our dreams with her and there was a moment of both of us looking at Kisha and the thought of "yup, this is it!" You know your wedding planner knows you as a couple when that happens. Like I said, we haven't even had the wedding yet and I know everything will be perfect!

ry excited for my May wedding as is my partner, because we know the Pure Ambiance team will create a dream wedding for us!

professional and coordinated. They went out of their way to make sure that we got the best price on everything. They were simply wonderful and I highly recommend them.

iled planning and big picture thinking - something the other planners we considered didn't seem to deliver on. They spent time really getting to know us and our vision for the wedding, and presented and implemented fresh ideas that were completely aligned with our thinking.  They ultimately transformed our thoughts into a magical and utterly perfect event... All this with a tight budget and very short time frame. I can't fathom what we would have done without them. 

my wedding day after enjoying breakfast with my briesmaids! We are so greatful!

r indoor and outdoor space created a most cozy atmosphere where friends of ours from different parts of our lives “met and partied under the tents”. I’ve already been asked for my party planner’s name from multiple guests and I have gladly recommended Pure Ambiance to others as well. I look forward to working with her in the future to create more amazing events.

sha has everything done on or ahead of schedule, is always available, is very reliable, and has such a great personality! The second we met Kisha we knew we had to book her. We can't wait for our wedding and are comforted by the fact that the big day, and all the days leading up to it, will be stress-free (which is priceless). (Update) We just had our wedding and our guests could not stop raving about the decor, the vendors,the organization, the ease of the day and how much fun they had. Kisha, Tomyka, Nadya and Amanda have introducesd us to the most amazing vendors which not only enhanced our day but saved us a bunch of money (because Kisha has such a great working relationship with so many different people/companies). Kisha has been our advocate, negotiator , open ear to talk to, partner in crime, designer and best of all our friend. We will truly miss talking to her every single day and cannot thank her enough for making our wedding an event that our friends and family will talk about for years to come :)

staff are so awesome and so down to earth and I'm pretty confident that any bride and groom would be satisfied with her service not only because she can perform great work, but she really focuses on you not just the numbers. After the all the plannerd I've interviewed, Kiesha was the only one who has even to this day stayed in contact despite us not being able to retain her!

sociated with weddings. From the first time we sat down with Kisha, we got the feeling that we would never had to worry about that at all. She made us feel very comfortable and REALLY valued our input. When the wedding day actually came, everything was beautiful. Kisha and her team completely captured our garden themed wedding and reception to the letter. The only thing that even came close to being a snag that day came when one of my groomsmen left half of his tux at the house over an hour away from the venue. Even then, the team went into action, finding a formal store nearby with the missing pieces AND keeping this news from the rest of the bridal party. It went so smoothly that my wife didn't find out until our honeymoon! Looking back at our overall experience we could not have asked for anything more.

f you want a classy beautiful wedding I definitely suggest you contact Pure Ambiance. "Class at its Best"

starting to think about hotel accommodations for our guests and feeling a bit lost because we were both unfamiliar with what was available near the Addison Park. We scheduled an appointment with Kisha to just get a feel for what a planner could do for us. Before we even had our meeting or signed with Kisha she had already researched hotels in the area and e-mailed them to us. After the first 10 minutes of our meeting, Kevin and I knew we had to work Kisha into the budget and hire her. We chose the day of package which was perfect for us and our needs. However, Kisha went above and beyond what she was hired for. Kisha and I immediately hit it off and clicked as if we knew each other for years which made me feel extremely comfortable. Her upbeat positive attitude really made me feel like she was a part of the wedding planning as my friend which was such a great experience! Kisha had great ideas and always had suggestions of where to purchase things, what questions to ask vendors, and great referrals, such as Cam Turner for invitations. When it came close to the wedding day, we had several meetings with Kisha and her team to work out a plan for the day of the wedding. I was so impressed with how she put together a timeline for the entire day. All I kept saying the morning of my wedding was "I don't know how people do this without having a planner!" The entire morning went smoothly and without a hitch! There were no major problems and anything that did come up, (like me forgetting my dancing shoes for our first dance at the hotel that was 30 min away) Kisha and her team were on it! Every detail was taken care of and I was able to enjoy my day like any bride would want to: stress free and happy! I can honestly say I would recommend Kisha to any bride that wants to have a stress free wedding. Not only did I have a fantastic wedding but I gained a wonderful friend as well!
