We had the pleasure of working with Kisha on a wedding at our venue, and she truly stands out as one of the most understanding and collaborative wedding planners we’ve had the privilege of working with. Kisha always keeps both the client’s vision and the venue’s needs in mind, and her attention to detail is exceptional. On the day of the event, she effortlessly remains calm, collected, and in control, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and beautifully.
What truly sets Kisha apart, though, is how much fun she makes the process. We had such a great time working together, even during what is often a stressful time for everyone involved. She brings a sense of joy and ease to the planning process, making it feel less like work and more like a celebration. Plus, Kisha has an amazing team behind her, who help execute everything seamlessly.
Kisha is a gem to work with—she takes immense pride in building lasting relationships, not just during the planning process but well after the event. Her genuine care and personal connection make all the difference.
I’ve known Kisha for over two years now, and I continue to stay in touch with her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I truly cannot say enough about Kisha and her team. They are beyond amazing and if it were not for them, our wedding would have not happened at all. There were many ups and downs in the process with vendors and Kisha and her team resolved issues quickly and creatively. We will only use Kisha and her team for any events we host. Under her sole creative direction, she gave us the wedding of our dreams; guests are still sharing photos and in awe to this day. Kisha is truly nothing short of the very best!!!!
My wedding was on 4/24/24 and K. Barner Events did an amazing job in creating my dream wedding . Kisha along with her team-I worked with Kim and Belinda were so professional and attentive to detail. I would definitely recommend this company to any future bride .
The planning: Kisha from K Barner events was the best! Every idea we had, no matter how crazy, was followed up on and we discussed and tweaked until we were happy. No matter how many times we changed our minds, she was ready to look into the next thing. We had a very specific vision which sometimes caused us to over think but Kisha was always there to reel us in ( more so me than my husband 😂)! Now for the wedding: Kisha and her team brought our vision to life! I had ZERO worries on my big day and was blown away at my room reveal! Thank you Kisha and the K Barner team for making my dream wedding come true!
Kisha and her team were incredible!! Everything about the planning, design and execution of our wedding was truly superb. My husband and I got married in October and we are still talking about how amazing our wedding was, how everything about it was exactly what we wanted and how incredibly happy we still are when thinking about it!
We first contacted Kisha thinking we wanted to do a destination wedding and then decided we wanted to do something locally in Manhattan. Kisha worked with us to find the perfect venue for us (a restaurant with a courtyard garden), recommended amazing vendors, created a stunning design for our ceremony and reception, and handled countless details along the way.
I could say so many positive things about what it was like to work with Kisha - she's organized, always responsive, super knowledgeable and everything you want from a wedding planner, but where she really excels above and beyond is in her ability to create and execute a stunning design. Looking at different weddings that K. Barner Events has done, it is clear that each one is personal and original. I gave Kisha a few adjectives and a type of flower and from that Kisha and Kaitlyn created an entire design packet covering every detail of the ceremony and reception, with different options to choose for each element. They completely nailed what I had in mind and seeing it come to life on the day of was the most incredible feeling.
Thanks to Kisha and her team, we really had the perfect wedding day. My husband and I were able to enjoy the day knowing everything was taken care of and happening as it was supposed to. Having Belinda come to the hotel and be by my side while we were getting ready, up until when I walked down the aisle was such a huge help and relief! I did not have bridesmaids and even if I did - it was amazing having a professional help me keep on schedule, not lose my phone (or the marriage license!), put on my veil, bustle my dress at the reception and stay calm.
We are so incredibly grateful and would give K. Barner Events the highest of recommendations for any event planning!
My wedding was sick! Literally everyone unanimously said it was the most gorgeous wedding they had ever been to. Kisha took what I wanted, but could never make come to fruition and executed it flawlessly.
Kisha and her team were amazing from start to finish. They were organized, reliable, professional and were there every step of the way with us. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The design that Kisha created was so amazing that the restaurant we held the wedding at said the place never looked better. We would literally not change a thing about our experience with Kisha and her team.
You need Kisha, Kim and K. Barner Events to create your dream wedding!! Located in North Jersey we first met Kisha and instantly clicked! We knew she was the one! Kisha is literally the best, she answers every text, call and email promptly, so communicative and is with you every step of the way planning your dream wedding. I can't say enough good things, she is a God sent. We had our wedding Labor Day weekend and it would not have been the fairytale wedding we would have ever dreamed of if it wasn't for Kisha. She knows the industry from the bottom up, making sure every single big and small detail is perfect! I trusted Kisha and her judgement with everything, she knows her stuff!! We can't thank her, Kim and her team enough! Her design matched my exact vision and seeing everything come to life was spectacular. Her recommended vendors with makeup/hair, FLORIST, videographer, photographer were all amazing!! We loved working with all of them so much! We had about 155 guests and everyone said it was the best wedding they ever went to. She and her team are the best!!! I can't recommend K. Barner events enough, we could not have done or had our dream wedding without her and her team. AMAZING!
Kisha was so amazing to work with! When we saw our reception on our wedding day we were absolutely blown away with how amazing it looked. Truly like it was out of a magazine. I had two weddings in Los Angeles that were canceled due to COVID and eventually decided to move our wedding to NJ to lessen travel and had to start from scratch. After 3 years of being engaged we were just so tired of wedding planning and Kisha made it so easy on us. She was always on top of things, quick to respond, and took my general vision and brought it to life. She coordinated with all my other vendors (which included an LA based florist!) with ease and made sure everything was perfect. We really could not have ever had that amazing of a wedding without her help!
Again, thank you and all that just does not seem like enough. I returned back to work today 🙁 and everyone who was there (about 20 people) shared that they had never been to a wedding as awesome as ours nor one that just flowed so perfectly. Some kept wanting me to say something went wrong or happened, but I told them I had the best event planner and if it did I have no idea. Kisha if you ever underestimate your GIFT, DO NOT. What you provide to families at what can be a very stressful time is amazing. There are so many momets I had no idea about but just worked perfectly and whether you planned it or the vendor you suggested did, it ALL happened because of you! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for treating John and I so wonderfully for being attentive and kind and sensitive to our needs. For being 100% real with us about our budget, for pushing us when it came to the budget but still being mindful of what we could do. I do not know how you do what you do, but I ADMIRE it so much! And your team is just a reflection of how great you are. I have not stopped talking about Kim and how perfect she held her position. She was kind patient and nurturing, sensitive and reassuring. I told her what you guys do is an ART and I mean that. I could NOT have done this without you. You will FOREVER be apart of the Weathersby clan. I do not know what the next big event is or will be but I know that KBE will be apart of it if you will have us. (That's if John did work your last lol).
From the bottom of my heart thank you!
KB the great!!! I think she should totally go by this title from here on out - she's earned it! Man, I don't want to know what we would've done w/o her and her amazing team. From the start, KB handled our wedding with such ease - from sketching on napkins to driving all the way from PA to meet with you and your vendors in NYC. She's a true gem! I could go on and on, but ultimately know that when you book KB and her team, you're not just booking a wedding planner, you're booking a story-teller, a visionary! The way she weaves the personality of you and your spouse into the designs, flowers, and overall vibe of the wedding is truly magical! Our wedding day was a true dream and we are forever grateful for KB and her team <3
Hire them is right. Kisha and her team are nothing but amazing. I worked with Kisha for over a year and she was so wonderful. Her spirit and passion shows in the work she delivers. On September 20,2019 I was so calm with no worry. The only thing on my mind was marrying the love of my life. She made it so that the day was full of zen for me with nothing to worry about because I fully trusted her and her team. Kisha work speaks for itself. She went above and beyond for me. Words can’t describe how grateful I was. The wedding was the wedding of my dreams plus more. It surpassed my vision and expectation. None of this would have been possible without her dedication and commitment to us. No two couples are alike and she makes sure it’s your vision and what you want for your special day. I recommend her whole heartedly with no reservation. It was the best money I ever spend and I will continue to work with her for every life event. She is not apart of my family and we are so happy to have found her.
Initially, we decided to do something small but then I realized we were not being true to ourselves with that decision. So we decided we were to have a big wedding in Jersey but we would need a Planner because the next month I found out I was pregnant! Lol, we googled a few planners and we happened to come across then Pure Ambiance on “The Knot” website, (now K. Barner Events). We met with Kisha Barner and immediately I trusted her and knew she would do an amazing job with our special day! She was very organized and even bought our little one a small gift to keep her busy while we talked. Kisha then proceeded to give us list and coordinate appointments and design schemes. I never had to sweat at all and I was truly able to enjoy my pregnancy and successfully plan our wedding due their hardwork and dedication. We spoke so much over the last year that I miss them still and sometimes still send random messages because they are more like family to me. I am literally thinking of events for them to plan just so to see their magic unfold again. Kisha really understood our vision and she knew me so well so could just read my face to give my response to the vendors, lol. We truly love them and they are such a pleasure and joy to work with.
For our wedding day, we woke to chefs cooking our breakfast accompanied by mimosas. Our hair and makeup arrived at their appointed times. I don’t know what those time were because I later found out the vendors were instructed not to bother me, and only go through our wedding planning team. And it was things like this that made all the difference in the day for us. We were pampered and arrived at the venue to take a few pictures before. Our day was perfect mostly because our wedding planner was freaking awesome and most importantly because I was marrying my bestie. We had a fairytale wedding of our dreams shared with our love ones. It doesn’t get much better than that.
K. Barner Event is an amazing team. In February the team decorated my mother's 60th surprise birthday event! They transformed the space and it was magical! The guest couldn't believe how the team created a Madri Gras theme that transported us from NJ to New Orleans on a chilly Febraury evening! They are simply the best.
Kisha and her K. Barner Events team are the best ever!! I’m a very creative and visual person so my ideas and thoughts were extremely particular and always wanting to push the envelope when it comes to ideas, and Kisha and her team did such an amazing job. They are the BEST! The décor was INSANE - trendsetting! It was everything I envisioned and beyond! All thanks to Kisha and her team for making my dreams come true! It was the perfect blend of modern meets elegance and a complete vision of white, which is what I always wanted! The wedding day was the most amazing day ever! At the end of our wedding day we felt so overwhelmed with joy and happiness! We were on a high and could not be more grateful to the amazing team at the Westmount Country Club, all of the entertainers, and most importantly the amazing work Kisha and her team did! After working so hard for about a year and half for this day to be perfect it was surreal that it had come true and it was actually more than we ever expected it to be! The absolute best day of our lives! Oh AND one of the bridesmaids dress ripped right before we left for the ceremony at the hotel and Belinda (a K. Barner Events Planner) sewed it right back up in 5 minutes. I didn’t even know until later since my bridesmaid danced all night and had no issues! Amazing!! LOL!!
Just when we thought we had everything under control, 6 months before our wedding, we realized we needed help. At the time, my fiancé and I discussed looking for a wedding planner but we had no idea where to start looking. I searched online and looked through a lot of photos when I came across the K. Barner Events website. I looked through their photos and read through all the information from past events and I loved everything. I discussed what I found with my then fiancé and we both agreed to book a free consultation with K. Barner Events. The day arrived to meet Kisha from K. Barner Events to get more information. We were nervous and didn't know what to expect but we were willing to give it a try even though my fiancé was not 100% sold. We sat with Kisha and from the start she made us feel comfortable. We began to talk about what we were looking for and our budget all the while laughing and getting to know each other. Once we went through all the information with Kisha, we were able to take it home a discuss everything. We then setup another meeting with Kisha to let her know that we were moving forward with her and her team but at the second meeting I brought my parents who were completely against having a wedding planner. My mom was not convinced that we needed to spend more money aside from the wedding itself but she jumped onboard, with hesitation.
Once we were onboard as well as my parents, we started to work with K. Barner Events. I was sent a questionnaire and ask Kisha to book most of our vendor appointments in the same week such as cake tasting, DJ, photographers and flowers which she did. We were able to get a lot done in that week due to our work schedules.
After we picked all of our vendors and decided on all the decorations we were sent a check list every week as a reminder of things we needed to get completed, which was amazing and super helpful to us. I was able to get a lot done and keep my sanity...lol
Our wedding day has arrived and the KBE team were at my parents home bright, early and ready to get the show on the road, literally! We we planned to start in Brooklyn, drive to a landmark carousel for photos, then drive to the event space. During the day it started to rain and Kisha and her team were able to think fast, change around our plans and avoid any stress for me. They were also able to keep myself and my wedding party right on schedule. There was a moment where it started to rain really badly and the carousel plan was out of the question but they were able to think fast an search for a second site which was a graffiti wall the said "YES". At the time they weren't sure if it was still there but they went on the hunt for it and found it. We were able to take our "first look" photos and video, which came out beautifully and no one noticed how bad the weather was.
Overall, the KBE team did an amazing job handling our wedding. They even made my mom and new husband, true believers that by choosing them we made the best decision. My guests all said that they have never seen a wedding so beautiful in their life and I agree.
Thank you K. Barner Events for making our day a day to remember and a day we can never forget. We loved every moment and didn't miss a thing.
Absolutely amazing!
Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have met Kisha and her team. From the moment we met we knew she was the one that could make our dream wedding come alive. My wife and I had no reason to look any further.
After a magical proposal, of course comes the big day. Little did we know how much work would go into realizing our dreams. Thank god! Kisha was there the entire way. She can do it all. Every detail was thought out, planned, mapped, designed, and made possible thanks to Kisha and her wonderful team. And of course I was there to agree with her And my wife's ideas. Haha . If you want your dreams realized.. call Kisha :)
Love Kisha and her staff - They made every step of the way so easy for me and the day of PERFECT. Not only did i have the best wedding designer but I gained a life long friend!!!
Kisha and her team were AMAZING! She was instrumental in making our dream a reality! I’m organized and enjoy doing research so when my fiancé and I first got engaged, I researched venues, DJs and photographers. Once they were all booked, I had no idea where to start with a theme or décor for our big day. I knew I wanted a rustic, elegant feel (we got married in The Barn and Perona Farms) but that was about it. I had no idea what colors I wanted, what I wanted the invitations to look like, how the tables should look…nothing. At our initial meeting, my fiancé and I immediately felt like we had known Kisha for years! She was warm, friendly, down to earth and funny. What’s even better was she somehow understood the look and feel I was going for on our wedding day even though I wasn’t even sure. She understood what I wanted so well that when we had the first floral appointment, she had talked to the florist ahead of time and had her put together some arrangements. I walked in and loved them! I didn’t want to change a thing – the entire appointment was maybe 20 minutes. Kisha made everything so easy and stress-free! She was always available to answer any and all questions. If she didn’t know the answer, she’d reach out to the correct person and get back to me quickly. I decided to add a videographer last minute and she gave me a list of videographers she’s worked with in the past and made sure they were available. The day of our wedding went very smoothly. I was able to just enjoy the day knowing Kisha and her wonderful team were there to handle anything that might possibly come up. Hiring K. Barner Events was one of the best decisions I made! I would highly recommended Kisha and her team to help with your special day!
I don't know where to begin!!! I hired Kisha last minute , 3 months before my wedding due to high levels of stress. She understood my style and vision from the first phone conversation we had. Needless to say , she was amazing through the entire process. With kisha , all of my OCD and control issues went out the window !!! Lol, because I felt confident that no matter what she did , it will be of quality and to perfection .
On my wedding day, everything was perfect and just as I had dreamed off !!! Even my husband commented on how amazing everything looked and how smoothly the day went . Even with delays and minor hiccups due to the overall craziness of hosting a wedding, kisha and Kim , along with the rest of her team managed to keep me calm and kept everything under control. I can go on and on and on about all the things this company did for me , but I will end it with this. K barner events is the way to go. You will not be disappointed!! Please , please , check them out , it will be the best decision you'll make!! My guests are still complementing on how beautiful everything look and how smoothly everything was executed !!! All thanks to Kisha and her team!!!
I am a vendor myself and when it was time to plan my wedding there was only one option for me and that was Kisha and her team at K. Barner events. I have planned events for 10 years and have worked with many different vendors, but I established a personal relationship with Kisha and was floored by her designs on each event we worked together on. Her staff is just as great as she is and I felt like I knew them for just as long after our first floral appointment together. The K. Barner Events team saved the day on the morning of my wedding with what could have been a huge disaster (by fault of my own lol). I don't know what I would have done without them. You get more than a vendor with Kisha and her staff, you get laughs, professionalism, friendship and a remarkable event experience!!!
Our wedding day was seriously the best day ever because of Kisha and her wonderful team! When we first met Kisha it wasn’t hard to make the decision to choose her to help in planning our wedding day. She is so sweet, easy to talk to, passionate about her work, and ORGANIZED! My husband and I got married at Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ. Kisha and her team transformed the venue and brought our dream of a fairytale wedding to life! We can be an indecisive couple but with the help of Kisha we were able to get through wedding planning with little stress and actually enjoy the experience. Kisha and her awesome assistant Belinda helped with all vendors, made to-do lists, set reminders, and helped us keep track of our budget. We told Kisha what we wanted and she gave us so much more! One thing I must say about K. Barner Events is that you must TRUST in their vision. You will not regret it! They know what they are doing! Months later we still have family, friends, and even people who weren’t at the wedding talking and raving about our wedding day!
Our wedding was a fairytale all thanks to K. Barner Events. From the first phone call I had with Kisha, I knew it was meant to be. Kisha and her team (Kim and Belinda) were with us every step of the way. K. Barner Events will provide you with vendor options, set up appointments, order wedding day supplies etc. Anything you need, they will take care of it. While they handle all the behind the scenes details, you get to relax and truly enjoy your wedding day. Hiring K. Barner Events was the best decision we ever made throughout the wedding process. My husband and I could have never done it without Kisha and her team. I 100% recommend using K. Barner Events for your wedding day or next occasion/event. Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives!
My wife and I were married at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, NJ. Pure Ambiance planned the most AMAZING wedding you could imagine.
Kisha Barner and her assistant, Belinda Rosario, are two of the most perceptive people I've ever met.
When we met the first time, Kisha asked us about ourselves, each other, what we liked, and what we were looking for. She then used a method whereby we would meet with three of a given type of vendor at a time, which kept us from feeling overwhelmed. If none was what we were looking for, we'd have met with more. But each time we were able to choose vendors in each category that we were really in tune with, and were actually almost as perceptive as Kisha and Belinda in figuring out what we wanted. And we were really happy with our choices.
Kisha and Belinda deal on all levels too, continually keeping us up to date on vendor meetings and attending those visits with us and providing a to-do list to help us keep track of all the details.
They will also work with you in budget planning, i.e., tracking your layouts versus the budget you've set for your event.
And they are people who cared not just about our event, but us too, offering helpful advice and counsel in navigating the road toward our wedding, always there to answer questions.
And on the day of the wedding, it could not have been more stress-free for us. Kisha and her team were right on top of everything and were there for us at every turn. The vendors we picked made this a gorgeous wedding and performed their services so well, it was beyond anything we'd expected, thanks to Kisha and her ability to find the right people for the right jobs.
We are so happy that we picked PA, and now we're blessed and privileged to call Kisha and Belinda friends.
My Wedding Day was on May 14, 216 at the Pleasantdale Chateau. I am truly convinced that the reason I had a fantastic time (as did my Husband) is because of Kisha Barner and her team at Pure Ambiance Event Design. We planned our wedding over a year in advance and Kisha and her team have been with us every step of the way. We are so grateful that we chose them not only due to their Professionalism but they chose THE BEST vendors for us, they created a magical wedding beyond what we could have dreamed of, they worked well within our budget and because of them... our guests were blown away at our wedding! We now consider them friends/family and I look forward to choosing them again with other major celebrations in our life! Choosing Pure Ambiance Even Design was by far THE BEST decision I have ever made!
Kisha and her team are excellent! They were well organized throughout the entire process and quick to reply to any request or question we may have. For many of my friends, the week or two before their weddings was extremely stressful, but with Pure Ambiance, I didn't have to worry about anything and just showed up the day of and they took care of the rest. I highly recommend Pure Ambiance and would certainty use them again in the future for any big event we might have.
My wedding day was the best day of my life. Working with Kisha and Pure Ambiance was a great experience. We enjoyed working with them and the planning was so simple and stress free with their help. They recommended the perfect vendors for us, came up with a beautiful design, and kept everything going on time and perfectly on our day. Kisha and Pure Ambiance helped make our wedding the best day of our lives! I refer to them as the best Wedding Planners because they are - everyone deserves to experience Pure Ambiance.
I have utlized the services of Pure Ambiance COUNTLESS times and each time is simply wonderful! There's nothing like adding "Pure Ambiance" to your event... this is an AMAZING Wedding & Event Planning company! The WHOLE team goes beyond your wildest expectations to create memorable events. Anytime I need an event planned and designed, they're the first people I call, so when I needed a Sweet Sixteen planned in under 30 days, I called Kisha right away. What they delivered was nothing short of what they deliver each time - PERFECTION! Thanks again Kisha & the entire Pure Ambiance team.
I honestly can't imagine having gotten married without Kisha and her team. Kisha and Pure Ambiance were highly recommended to my Husband by a co-worker who had used them for her wedding. Beyond helping with the logistics and coordination of a wedding event, we hired Kisha & Pure Ambiance foremost because of their creativity and ability to design, capture, and bring to life the ideas that you just envision in your head. Kisha knows it's the tiny details that make a difference and she is a perfectionist!
Thanks Kisha (and Belinda, and rest of PA team)!

We recently got married on September 13th at the Manhattan Penthouse in NYC. Kisha really helped realize our vision so that our wedding was both beautiful, memorable, and fun. Ask anyone of our guests and they said they had blast. Plus, she and her team made our lives so much easier taking us through arduous process known as wedding planning, recommending vendors, providing checklists, and making all our thoughts into reality. I would definitely recommend having Kisha and her team as a wedding planner.

My wife and I held our wedding at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ on February 22, 2014. Kisha from Pure Ambiance was our planner throughout the process. To say that she did an amazing job does not adequately explain how pleased we were with her services. You can tell that she has a passion for her work and takes pride in making the event the absolute best that it can be. Looking back at all of the cost associated with our wedding, I'm glad that we spent the money and hired Pure Ambiance to help plan our special event. They helped make what would have otherwise been a good wedding, a great one! From Kisha's advice on our decor to her actual management of the ceremony and reception, she always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Thanks Kisha and Pure Ambiance for making our wedding so spectacular!! Our friends and family are still talking about it to this day!
For the 2nd year in a row, Downtown Millburn utilized the services of Kisha & the Pure Ambiance team to plan, organize and execute our annual Girls Night Out event for the town of Millburn, NJ. This year's event was bigger and better. With the help of Pure Ambiance we were able to implement new ideas, activities, procedures, etc. Pure Ambiance worked with the Downtown Millburn Board Members with ease. Ironically, I ran into a wedding client of Pure Ambiance while handing out flyers in town, and all they could do was rave about them. We enjoy working with Pure Ambiance and will continue to do so!
When my wife and I started planning for our wedding she said that we needed a wedding planner. I thought "for what? All we need to do is find a venue for the reception, send out invitations, get a dress, a tux and everything else would fall into place." Well, little did I know planning a wedding would entail sooooo much more! Kisha and her team at Pure Ambiance Event Design allowed for our wedding day to be one of the best days of my life! From the moment we started planning I knew that we were going to having a wedding that would be unmatched by any other wedding I had attended-and I was right on! My family and co-workers still tell me how great of a time they had. The ambiance, the décor, the ease and flow of the entire day was due to the professionalism and expertise of Pure Ambiance Event Design! I am not ashamed to say......My wife was right!!!

I recently had to put my wedding on hold, for a medical reason, so I have not had the opportunity to work with Pure Ambiance on my actual wedding day. Despite this, I KNOW they would have been amazing because working with them for the past several 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!
Incredible!!! First word that comes to my mind about Kisha and her Pure Ambiance team --Kisha has helped me over the last five years plan two wonderful backyard 40th birthday parties for myself and my husband and, most recently, she helped me 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!!!
Kisha & the Pure Ambiance team allowed me and my husband to have the best wedding day ever! Kisha was able to bring our vision to life better than we could have ever imagined. She was readily available to give advice, make suggestions, and always 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.
I am a pretty organized person, but when it came to finding a venue for my reception and ceremony, I was worried. I thought it would be best if I brought in someone to help find the perfect venue and hopefully save us money at the same time. Pure 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.
I have had the pleasure of working with Pure Ambiance on a couple different events. They have been professional, done a fantastic job, and created something spectacular and memorable. Both times, I didn't know exactly what I wanted. I just knew 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!
Pure Ambiance is simply amazing! They are:
P-Professional & Personable
U-Unique & creative with any event space and ideas
R-Radiant atmosphere provided
E- Enchanting & breathtaking.
Every detail is planned and executed to PERFECTION & 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 and her team did a beautiful job for our wedding! They made our lives much easier. Since we are business owners, it would of been impossible to plan a whole wedding by ourselves. I really don't know how any bride can do it by themselves! 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.

For the past few years we have been hosting an event called "Girls Night Out" in Downtown Millburn. Every year our event has gotten better and better. This past spring we decided we were going to hire an Event Planner/Coordinator since our event 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!
Kisha and the Pure Ambiance team have been absolutely amazing!!! Kisha has helped me with vendors and has offered great ideas for how to design my ceremony and reception. She has been so responsive to all of my e-mails and phone calls--always getting back to me within 24 hours. Go with Pure Ambiance because you will NOT be disappointed!!!!
If you are looking for perfection on your wedding day... choose Kisha and the Pure Ambiance Event Design team to help make all your wedding dreams come true. We found Kisha’s company online and we are SO happy that we contacted her. In our initial 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.
I have to share the amazing experience my husband and I had with Pure Ambiance. At first, I was very worried about how to organize my wedding, since I'm not from this country and had nobody to help me. My life changed when I found Pure Ambiance! 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.

Kisha, Belinda and the pure ambiance team were great! Kisha understood my ideas from the begining and made the wedding that was in my mind into reality. Her team is oragnized, professional and on point.The vendors they use are also great, from 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!
I had the opportunity to see the Pure Ambiance team in action when I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that Kisha Barner, Owner, planned a year prior to me getting engaged. I had no idea just how reliable and resourceful Pure Ambiance was until I worked 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!
I seriously don't know how people can plan weddings without a planner. Sure it's do-able. But I was definitely the type of person that don't want my friends and family lifting a finger and scrambling to get centerpieces, napkins and flowers set 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 =)
When I left Vibe, I was so pleased, that I gave everything I had in my pocket at the time and still felt it wasn't enough. The level of customer service and the excellence and attention to detail shown by your Team, blew me away. People can't stop 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!!
Our experience with Pure Ambiance was special from start to finish. Of course I was the typical nervous bride, worried about design, colors and most of all budget! Kisha and her team made our day beautiful! When we saw the lighting and the details 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!
Kisha & her team are amazing! From our initial consultation to our wedding day, Kisha was absolutely awesome to work with. Pure Ambiance's organization & attention to detail allowed my husband and I to have the perfect wedding day. Even the workers 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.
Best choice ever! Once I met Kisha I knew I wanted her and her team to plan my wedding. Kisha was very down to earth and easy to talk to. Throughout the whole process I was always well informed on what to do next and how. I must have text and 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!
Pure Ambiance executed my 25th birthday effortlessly!!! The decor, the venue, the one of a kind invitations, the awesome surprise celebrity guests, everythinggggg was above and beyond what i'd ever imagined! everything so so personal and mirrored exactly who i am and what i love! Kisha and her team are hands down the BEST in the industry!
From the moment I met Kisha, I knew exactly that I wanted her to help us plan our big day. She demonstrated the professionalism, industry knowledge, and "loving life" personality that I was looking for in a planner. She was so easy to chat with 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!
OMG… I can't believe that i even gave having a wedding planner a second thought. I don't know what I would have done without Kisha and the Pure Ambiance team.
I decided that I wanted to have an outdoor wedding in the middle of the summer. The 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!!!
Kisha-
Thank you for all that you did - seen and unseen- to make our wedding so very magical. From start to finish, your professionalism and poise gave us great confidence that we were safe in your hands. You took the few ideas we had and 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
The planner is very nice but she fell short of what a wedding planner should be. I felt she was not as detail-oriented as what a planner should be.
We decided we needed to hire a Planner because neither of us knew what to do and thought a Planner would know every little detail of what needed to be taken care of. After meeting Kisha, we couldn't say no! Anything we ever needed, we could call 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!
Kisha and her Team have been God sent! Throughout my wedding preparation Kisha has made herself available and I could not have done it without the Pure Ambiance team. If you are looking for people that care as if it were their big day Pure Ambiance is the one for you! Thanks again ladies!
I dealt with Kisha and her team on planning my sisters Bridal Shower. I have a very hectic schedule and needed the expertise and assistance from Pure Ambiance. They meet with me several times to coordinate all the particulars for the bridal shower. 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.
Sandi & I would like to thank the entire Pure Ambiance staff for such an excellent job in planning and coordinating our wedding day. Everything was truly wonderful! Everyone has such a good time. Thanks so much again for making our wedding day so special.
