We can not be more thankful for Kita and her team putting together our wedding. The only thing we had was a theme: a galaxy/celestial themed wedding. From there we no idea where t...
o start, what to do. Kita and her team really worked so hard with us to turn our dream wedding into a reality. They took the load off of us completely making this whole process smooth and stress free. We made a comment "we pretty much just want to show up" and with that they took the control we needed them to! We have never been more thankful for the full service wedding planning that was provided to us. Our wedding night turned out to be out of this world!

ledgeable, organized, and helpful. You can tell she’s seasoned, and it put me at ease. We had a couple situations that needed creative problem solving and she just took care of it, made the calls, and found a solution. She was available and responsive, her proactive communication was so appreciated. The lead-up planning was top-notch. Then her rehearsal and day-of management were even more fantastic. Krista has a warm, calm, and positive energy - exactly what a bride needs on her big weekend. She led the rehearsal so eloquently - our wedding party (who have been in many weddings) was super impressed. On the wedding day she was behind the scenes making everything flow, coordinating with all of the vendors - I didn’t have to lift a finger. The run-of-show was seamless, she was in lock-step with our venue manager, photographer, DJ, and various musicians. And to close, after a long day (we had a New Year’s Eve wedding so it went late!), she and her team broke down and aggregated our rentals, and packed up our personal decor (there was a lot). I cannot recommend Kita Events more, we had a wonderful experience.

professional and pleasant to work with. Day of the wedding she handled every concern, vendor, chaos, fires, etc without ever alerting us that anything was amiss. She communicated decor changes and creative ideas and made sure we were happy with the end result. She even entertained my aunts!

rried at a destination venue, so Krista was there the day before my wedding and ran the whole show at our rehearsal. We had a few groomsmen who were getting rambunctious and she put a polite end to that quickly. I loved it! She had an assistant on the day of the wedding. I had already showed her where the decor needed to go, and she was so meticulous on decorating and making sure everything was perfect. She even called me with a few ideas on what to do with some excess flowers and vases, where she lined the isle at the ceremony making it look so beautiful. At the event she was there for me at every turn, magically making the whole show run smoothly behind the scenes. The wedding and event went off without a hitch and all of our guests raved about what an amazing job she did and how incredibly professional she was. At the end of the night they broke everything down and had it all packed away for a quick and easy pickup by us in the morning. I cannot express my gratitude enough, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing day of coordinator.
