Kristin and Liz are a FANTASTIC duo! They were the backbones of our planning and design team that created the most FABULOUS dream wedding for my daughter! Kristin Ashley Events hel...
d our hands throughout the entire year and a half planning operation and became such fun friends and confidants in the process. If you want to feel confident in your decisions, well taken care of, happy and content with the finished event product ... look to Kristin Ashley Events for help!
We were engaged in late 2018 and realized we would need help planning for an August 2020 wedding in St. Louis.
Kristin was warmly recommended to us and we hit it off right away! ...
Not only is she fun to be with, but it was clear right away that she knew her business really well and wanted to help us plan our perfect wedding. She was so excited about our quirky vision (orange and llama themes), knew all the right questions to ask, and had a list of great vendors who could make it all happen.
During the following months, she fielded 100s of questions from us and always responded quickly with helpful suggestions. She helped us get all the best vendors and made sure that they knew our vision. We were all ready to go.
Then 2020 rolled around and all of a sudden it became clear that our big wedding would have to be postponed. We were extremely stressed that we’d lose our vendors and take a tremendous financial hit, but Kristin acted quickly and coordinated the move to 2021. During that unprecedented year, Kristin remained extremely professional and on top of everything. Seeing her character in such circumstances made us feel all the more close to her. We became good friends with Kristin, even having regular zoom calls with her because we liked her so much!
When the day finally came in 2021, Kristin made sure everything was perfect. We were completely free to enjoy our wedding day, knowing we were taken care of. We will always be grateful to her.
You will not regret hiring Kristin as your wedding planner! We never knew that when we hired Kristin at the end of 2019 that we would be working together for 2 years to plan our we...
dding but when we made the decision to postpone due to COVID, we made sure we weren't going to lose Kristin as our planner. As soon as we postponed, she made sure we locked in all our vendors for the following year. With Krisitn, you have access to all the best vendors in St. Louis who will all tell you how much they LOVE to work with her. She has an amazing eye for design and attention to detail and comes up with the most creative and beautiful designs for your wedding. She is always on top of her game, responsive to any questions/calls/emails you send her, and will offer to jump in to help with any task. COVID brought on so many stresses the week of our wedding and if it weren't for Kristin and her AMAZING team, I don't think it would have gone as perfect as it did. The day was absolutely beautiful and Kristin and her team made the entire day stress free and absolutely perfect. Taking a moment to have a first look at our reception room is a moment my husband and I will never forget and I couldn't help but cry because of all that Kristin and her team did for us. You'll not only get your dream wedding, but a lifelong friend with Kristin. She is amazing at what she does and you won't regret hiring her!
I'm not sure where to even begin this review, but I'll start by saying that Kristin is incredible at her job. We got engaged November of 2019 and I hired Kristin shortly after. Due...
to COVID, we had to reschedule our wedding; meaning we were working with Kristin for almost 2 years. Leading up to the big day, she was everything you could ask for in a planner. She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, organized, worked with St. Louis' best wedding vendors, etc. I would also like to add that two days after we decided to postpone the wedding, she had all 15 of our vendors switched to a new date that worked for everyone. TWO DAYS! She became a wonderful friend to us and we really enjoyed working with her. And then the big day came and we saw her in action; we were blown away. My Mom, my groom, my bridal party, everyone sat back and relaxed the entire wedding day because Kristin and her team had everything under control. Our wedding ceremony/cocktail hour/reception for 238 of our closest friends went as smooth as peanut butter. Which is not an easy task! It was the most perfect day and we cannot thank Kristin enough for making that happen. Like I said, she is amazing at her job, I would recommend her 1000x!!!!!!
Kristin is amazing! As the mother of the bride, I can't recommend her enough! From the moment our daughter and I met her, I knew she was going to be great and fun to work with. ...
Kristin pays super close attention to every detail, handles any situation immediately and the big day, executed the wedding flawlessly. Something important to understand.......the vendors love her, respect her opinion and clearly enjoy working with her. A bonus for us........Kristin is a total blast!
I truly don't have the words to describe how much I love Kristin and her team and how incredible they were for our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough. Kristin is so sweet, org...
anized and fun to work with. She went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and truly made it enjoyable. She helped us choose the best vendors that matched our personalities and style and her entire team made sure everything went according to schedule on the day of. Our whole wedding day ran so smoothly, and we were able to truly enjoy our entire day knowing we were in such great hands.
Planning a wedding in the middle of COVID is less than ideal but we were so happy Kristen was apart of our special day. She helped us navigate on the details of floral decisions an...
d was super helpful especially during covid. Both the reception and ceremony florals were breathtaking! we had so many friends compliment us on how beautiful our centerpieces were. My friend had Kristen be apart of her wedding a few months before and I would recommend to her to any of my friends for their special day.
I can't say enough about Kristin and her ability to make your dream wedding come true or in this case my daughter's. From the first day that I met her, I knew she was the one that...
I could trust to get the job done. She literally thinks of everything and makes the planning process seamless. Her connections and recommendations of vendors is outstanding. Her professionalism, creativity and attention to detail are incredible . Seriously, I've worked with other wedding planners for past family weddings and I have to say that hands down my experience with Kristin was the best.
Kristin is the BEST of the best! She was incredible from day one, and we couldn't have asked for anything more! She guided us seamlessly from picking a venue to our day of decision...
s. She is extraordinarily talented with an eye for detail. She is up to date with all of the wedding trends, but she will keep your aesthetic and priorities at the forefront. She is also able to help you see the big picture. She has fantastic relationships with all of the vendors which goes to show just how wonderful she is :) To boot, she is one of the sweetest, kindest, and funniest people you will ever meet. I feel like we hit the jackpot with Kristin, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She will make your wedding dreams and more come true!
If you are a Mother of the Bride, please read this! My two daughters were married within 17 months of each other. We decided to hire a wedding planner since we were a little overwh...
elmed with the timing. In the process, I learned 3 important things that MOB’s need to consider when hiring a wedding planner.
1. Do you trust the planner to make the best decisions for your daughter’s wedding?
2. What types of relationships to they have with vendors?
3. Are they on board with the couple’s vision/budget for the wedding?
Kristin Ashley Events knocked it out of the park on each of the points. Every wedding will have its issues. Kristin was on top of every concern and either handled them or suggested remedies when needed. I can’t say enough about her experience in wedding planning. She’s seen and done it all.
Kristin works with the top vendors in the Saint Louis area as well as other destinations. They respect and trust her experience in wedding planning. Your vendors working together as a team is so important.
Kristin made sure our daughters’ wedding visions were a reality. Each wedding was distinctive. The St. Louis wedding was the best of St. Louis, and Kristin suggested lots of cool things to make a unique experience for our guests. Our destination wedding in Florida was a different challenge in that we didn’t know the vendors. She helped us select the vendors and worked side by side with the resort wedding team.
The best testimonial I can give Kristin comes from our guests when they said things like “I won’t ever forget this wedding. It was the best!” Those words were music to my ears.
Home base or destination wedding…. I love Kristin Ashley Events. I may adopt another daughter, so that I can work with Kristin and her team again!
Kristin is incredible. I truly did not understand the importance of a wedding planner... Now I can't imagine our wedding day/month without one. She and her team handled and coordin...
ated everything for our Austin Texas wedding. At our meeting with her a month out she pointed out things we hadn't even thought of. The week and day of it was so nice having her deal with catering and transportation and the venue manager and the band and anything imaginable you can think of. Every single one of my wife's bridesmaids has asked for Kristin's info for when they get married. I'm so glad we were able to work with the #1 wedding planner in Austin.
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin and her team at Kristin Ashley Events – they are all INCREDIBLE! My wedding was in Houston, Texas, so it was a destination wedding for...
Kristin to plan from St. Louis…and she executed everything flawlessly! Not only did Kristin provide us with amazing vendor options and plan the day out perfectly, she also went above and beyond to step in to help with last minute stationery items we needed a few days before the wedding. She’s the type of person who gets stuff done and does so with a smile on her face. Not only is Kristin an amazing planner / coordinator, she is also an insanely talented designer! She brought our vision to life and even improved it along the way. Our wedding was the first tented wedding at the venue we picked in Houston, which could have been daunting to a planner, but Kristin made it happen. What’s even more important is how calm and excited she makes everyone feel – she became more than just our wedding planner, she is a true friend. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Kristin is simply AMAZING!!! From the very first phone call I had with her, I felt as if I was talking to a lifelong friend! She made me feel comfortable, listened to my ideas, nee...
ds, worries, and reassured me in a calm and definite manner that everything will be amazing and taken care of. She had personalized checklists, communicated with our vendors, was constantly in touch with us to remind us of things we needed to do and always made herself available to chat (and calm me down when I felt overwhelmed). The days leading up to our wedding day was a whirlwind, our wedding was in a city both my husband and I did not live in, so our stress level was high and Kristin took control and coordinated everyone and everything! She had everything covered (from the most important to the smallest detail) and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. She is genuine, organized, detail oriented, experienced, professional, reliable, and goes above and beyond. I honestly cannot recommend Kristin enough!
I hired Kristin when I knew that I needed help planning my wedding but, she provided me so much more than some vendor contacts - I now have a true friend in her! She executed ever...
y part of our wedding weekend flawlessly, she was there for every struggle along the way and helped me work through them with a calm attitude (and a positive outcome every time), and Kristin made the wedding day EASY for me! I felt zero stress the day of my wedding thanks to this amazing woman!
If you want a stunning and perfect wedding look no further than Kristin Ashley Events. We got married in St. Louis and I'm so glad I found Kristin and her team after interviewing a...
handful of other planners. I finally felt like I found someone who could design and put on the perfect wedding. I was not wrong! She was so detail oriented, organized, and had the best relationships and reccomendations with other vendors who we used for my wedding. I also felt very taken care of on the day of my wedding because of Kristin's team (Emilee and Jessie). I was so blown away with how beautiful my wedding was and could not have done it without Kristin Ashley Events.
We didn’t meet Kristin until the day of the wedding so we did wonder if everything would come off as planned. We had nothing to woabout! The wedding and reception were awesome! ...
Everything was coordinated perfectly and the wedding party were able to enjoy their joyous day. Kristin stayed on top of everything and was one step ahead of all the vendors. If I didn’t know better, I would even say she made sure the weather was beautiful. Thanks Kristin.
We got married in Austin Texas, but my family was living in Utah, and my husband and I were living in Tokyo. Kristin went above and beyond to help with the wedding details and conn...
ecting with our vendors and was so accommodating to our situation and our timezone. Kristin’s professionalism and personality make her stand out. She was a pro at weddings and made the day stress free and fun. She is organized and thorough ensuring every detail of the wedding was perfect. Five stars aren’t enough to express how great Kristin was, my family and friends loved her so much we will have to find another excuse to hire her again!
I got married in Chicago, Illinois in November 2017 and I was lucky enough to have Kristin as my wedding planner. I wanted to do a lot of the planning, I knew I needed someone to c...
ome on board the month leading up to my wedding and didn't consider anyone else except Kristin. Kristin and I have been friends for many years and always watched from afar at the amazing work she did on peoples weddings and was hoping she would be available for mine - luckily she was! I can't say sing her praises enough regarding her level of professionalism, availability, and organizational skills- to name a few of her qualities. She also never stopped smiling and was such a calming force on my big day. Even when things felt chaotic, she was relaxed and as cool as a cucumber, which made me feel that way too. She is a top-notch, first class, seasoned pro at weddings and I would not hesitate to recommend her and her services to anyone getting married.
Words cannot express how wonderful Kristin and her team are and I am so fortunate to have selected her as my planner! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and att...
entive. Her responsiveness was nearly immediate on every question or task, making it a breeze to plan a wedding with a busy work schedule. I always knew what I needed to accomplish, she scheduled meetings and met with me every step of the way. Her designs took the image out of my head and made them a reality, I actually cried when I saw our reception for the first time. The vendors she recommended were top knotch, she truely went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Kristin is warm and very down to earth, her calm presence let me relax and enjoy the day knowing that I could trust her to execute everything flawlessly. I only wish I had another wedding to plan so that I could continue working with her!
Kristin did an overall phenomenal job! The day couldn't have gone more perfectly. She took care of any and all hiccups that happened throughout the day so they didn't effect my o...
r the groom's time. I really didn't expect the day to be as worry free as it was (I tend to stress out during events), but Kristin took care of everything so there wasn't anything to stress about. Even my bridesmaids, who have all been in several weddings, remarked how helpful she and her assistant were with steaming dresses and helping everyone out with getting ready. Kristin also led a yoga session before everything got started that day which was so fantastic putting me in a great mood for the day. Aside from doing her job very well, she is very easy going, organized and personable. I felt like I was working with an old friend throughout the planning process. I would highly recommend Kristin and her staff for wedding planning/coordinating. She is one of the best decisions I made while selecting wedding vendors.
Kristin deserves all five stars and then some. Her calm professionalism made my daughters wedding so enjoyable instead of stressful. She has a great easy going personality, is alwa...
ys on time and doesn't let a thing sneak by! Its hard for me to relinquish control about things, but I had such confidence in Kristin that it was an easy thing to do. I would look no further if you need a planner. Love you Kristin!!!!
Kristin came highly recommended to me by a friend in the Austin wedding industry. After one phone call, we knew we had to have her for month of coordination. We were planning a “de...
stination” wedding in Austin while living in Dallas and knew we needed her extra support. Kristin was super accommodating when coordinating meet times, always responsive whether by email or phone, and extremely organized. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and knew she was in close contact with all my vendors. My parents were so impressed, as well as our pastor who has made many comments that he has never seen a wedding so well executed and organized – all props to Kristin and team! I tend to overly stress and I’ve never felt more relaxed as I did on my wedding day. Kristin and her assistant spent the day at the house where we were getting ready to help with logistics, answer questions, pick up lunch, make deliveries, steam dresses, etc. etc. If something wasn’t going as planned, I never knew about it because she took care of it. The church and reception venue far exceeded my expectations. She knocked it out of the park with the layout and set up of all my design extras. I was in literal tears when I saw it! She is calm, trustworthy, kind, and aggressive when she needs to be (dealing with the wedding party). I can’t thank her enough and will recommend to anyone I know planning a wedding!
Kristin Ashley Events made my Puerto Rico wedding day dreams come true…seriously. My destination wedding would not have been possible without Kristin. We found her through my siste...
r-in-law, who had Kristin as a planner at her destination wedding in Costa Rica and strongly recommended her.
Here are a few things that I found most valuable:
• Kristin is an expert. There were so many questions I had given my lack of experience (Will people be able to see the stage if they’re seated here? Will this space look empty? Does the flow of this event make sense? Etc). She had an answer to just about everything based on her experience, and if she didn’t, she tapped into her industry resources to get us the answers we needed.
• Kristin is persistent. Planning our destination wedding was quite a challenge with vendor responsiveness (island time), and Kristin was following up with vendors through calls and emails to get the answers we needed. I would have never had time to put in all of the work that she did.
• Kristin is flexible. I am quite the type A bride, so I was super involved in the decision-making. Upon realizing this, she flexed her style to best suit working with me. I’m completely confident, however, that she would be just as adaptable for the bride who wants to be more hands-off.
• Kristin is scrappy. She was understanding throughout the process that my husband and I did want to settle for vendors that were out of our price range, even if it requires a lot more time/work to find other solutions. She helped us find options that were right for us, and never made us feel bad about keeping our budget a top priority. She helped guide us to where we would get the most value, and what would be excess given our budget.
I also wanted to highlight her strong understanding of Indian weddings (which we had), but I know she is highly experienced in all different varieties of ceremonies/religions/traditions.
I HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding day.
Once my daughter got engaged, I knew from the get go that we needed a planner. My daughter has a lot of wonderful ideas, great taste, and great organizational skills. However, with...
her being outside of the Austin area, we knew it would be to our benefit to hire a professional to bring it to life. After our first meeting with Kristin, we knew with her experience and keen style, she would be a great fit for the wedding. She not only listened to everything Jenna and Hunter wanted but also took into consideration what was important to us. We really enjoyed how she took us through a step by step process of how the planning would go. She has an excellent team of vendor recommendations and was open to working with others outside her preferred list. Kristin told us exactly where to spend our money and where it would make the most impact, I can say without a doubt we all walked into the room in awe. There wasn't a detail left untouched. I really enjoyed how she worked with my daughter and helped her vision to become a reality. The best part is that we could all enjoy the wedding day knowing everything would be taken care of, and it was!
As the father of the bride, I have only tremendous things to say about Kristin and her staff. For one, every single one of her recommended vendors (band, florist, photographer, v...
ideographer, stationary, and reception hall decorating) were outstanding. Not only were they of exceptional quality, but they were also very easy to work with - from contracts to design to execution. We received many, many rave reviews at the reception, especially on the most visible things like the band, the reception hall, and the flowers. And we simply loved working with Kristin from start to finish, from picking out the vendors to all of the "day of" coordination. Kristin, along with my wife and daughter, were in constant communication the whole way and the big day could not have gone smoother. So we highly recommend Kristin Ashley Events -- whether in St.Louis or now in Austin.
Where do I even begin? Kristin and her team are phenomenal. She made our wedding day absolutely perfect, everything we dreamed of and more. As a couple planning a long distance wed...
ding, Kristin was our saving grace.
We hired her for month of planning and design planning, and I encourage you to do the same! Kristin is an absolute delight to work with and a design BOSS. I really cannot say enough about her personality, she sparkles! She is kind, helpful, accommodating and encouraging. She took charge when she needed to, gave me advice and suggestions when I needed it and kept me calm when I lost my mind.
I must highlight her design skills. Our wedding and reception were absolutely breath-taking thanks to her brilliant ideas. I encourage you to visit her website to check out her work.
Now onto the best part…the wedding day. It was perfect. Chris and I truly felt like the guests of honor and were able to focus on each other, and our guests, the entire day, stress free! I have no idea if anything went wrong because if anything did, Kristin handled it before I was ever aware. It is as if Kristin, and her delightful assistant, Jessie, are modern day fairy godmothers. They waved their magic wand and turned our reception venue into a stunning, romantic escape. That is not to minimize their hard work, because they were the first ones to show up (I'm pretty sure they arrived before I even woke up) and the last ones to leave. They took care of EVERYTHING the day of with smiles on their faces (and it was a long day-- we had an early Catholic wedding and a late reception). I honestly don't even know how the room got set up or torn down, Kristin coordinated it all seamlessly. Kristin is an absolute joy and I recommend her whole-heartedly.
Kristin is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch at what she does, but her personality is so warm and comforting. You feel like you are working with your best friend! We hi...
red her for full planning for our destination wedding in the Florida Keys. There were many moving parts, and she handled it all with ease. The day of, it poured. Two hours before the ceremony, there was a foot of water under the tent, and you would have never known! Kristin is always available when you call or email. She is truly one of a kind! I would highly recommend her services!
I was recommended Kristin by a good friend who is a wedding photographer. I live out of state and wanted to have my wedding in St. Louis with my family. I hired her as a day of p...
erson. I also paid extra for recommendations for hair/makeup and DJ and decor and for her services for my rehearsal dinner (some extra cultural activities I needed help with).
Things generally went well as I was coming into town to finalize my vendors. But when it came close to my wedding it was very hard to get a hold of Kristin. What I didn't know was that she had a family member who was sick and she was helping care for that person. What would have been nice to know was to funnel all my questions to her assistant. This was not communicated to me at all. What was frustrating was that I would ask her questions in email and when I didn't hear after a day or two, so I would text and her response would be to email her. I would end up asking her the same question in about 3 emails before she would get back to me.
What was most awful was that it was like pulling teeth to meet with her to go over the wedding and rehearsal dinner once I arrived to town. Once I was able to meet with her I only got about 45 minutes and we hadn't covered everything I needed to cover about the wedding let alone the rehearsal dinner activities. When I brought this up she said she doesn't do rehearsal dinners. SHE COMPLETELY FORGOT WE HAD A SIGNED CONTRACT THAT SHE WAS WORKING THE REHEARSAL DINNER!!! At that she had said originally she was working the rehearsal dinner. That part wasn't in the contract, but it was NEVER communicated to me that I was getting her assistant instead. Yes, her assistant did step up as best as she could to work my rehearsal, but if I had known I would have set up my meeting with her assistant and not Kristin.
I can't say my wedding was simple. It had Christian, Jewish and Chinese traditions. But this is why I hired her to take care of the logistics. There were a lot of things that were not smooth because I wasn't given the time to go over with Kristin. And had I known, I would have gone over it with her assistant. What irked me most was that she NEVER apologized. She decided to go the route of BS-ing her way through it. Here is the thing, I totally saw through her and had zero confidence there after.
WORST OF ALL was that I couldn't relax the day of my wedding because I had ZERO confidence in her abilities. I had a smile on my face because that is what a bride is supposed to look like, but inside I was a mess and fuming because I did not feel at ease that Kristin was going to be able to get things done or done well. WHO FORGETS TERMS OF A CONTRACT?!? And then does not apologize and thinks I'm too dumb to see through her?
What was also frustrating was when I was getting ready, she and her team were just sitting in my room hanging out with out a care in the world and gossiping about their other clients. It would have been good to go over details of the wedding one more time, but then, I didn't want to be that bridezilla. I didn't want to be ugly on my wedding day. Unfortunately, I ended up not enjoying my day at all as a result.
Kristin was the biggest waste of money I spent on my wedding because her lack of communication and lack of acknowledgment of her actions resulted in me being worried the entire time. What was the point of hiring her?
Can't imagine our wedding without her!
Kristin was recommended to us by our photographer. We wanted someone knowledgable and assertive but fun and relaxed. After meeting with Kr...
istin, we knew she would be perfect! My husband (then fiancé) agreed we needed her ASAP because it was the most relaxed he'd seen me since our engagement!
Kristin helped us through the entire process. Not originally from the St. Louis area or having my mother in town, she played a crucial role in presenting vendors, narrowing down options, and giving opinions and advice. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and creativity are unparalleled yet she is humble and understanding throughout.
I cannot imagine our wedding without Kristin's expertise. She listened to what we wanted and made our fairytale come true. With her help, we were able to enjoy our engagement and wedding planning process without the stress of deadlines and meetings. Our wedding day was completely seamless and stress free!
I recommend Kristin Ashley Events to anyone who is looking to hire a wedding coordinator. If you want someone who is professional, creative, easy to get along with, and fun this is your girl. She will blow you away!
It was such a pleasure to work with and get to know Kristin throughout the planning process for our big day. Every time we met it felt like I was hanging out with a close friend, ...
just one that had infinite knowledge about planning a wedding!
Kristin gave advice, pep talks, created powerpoints and pinterest pages, conducted face time calls around the venue during the crazy times of planning and always with a smile/positive outlook; a true testament to the strength of her character knowing everything she and her family weathered this year.
No call, text or email was left unanswered and in person meetings or vendor meetings were organized and never rushed. Her ability to navigate stressful situations, manage my indecision, and keep me on the path of my original vision was impressive.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I don’t think I worried about a single thing, which frankly never happens – thank you Kristin!
My daughter and I are so glad that we chose Kristin to be the coordinator for her wedding day! Kristin’s enthusiasm and positive attitude set the tone from the beginning. She reall...
y made it a point to get to know our style, tastes, and vision. My daughter and I knew that we could trust Kristin’s direction and ideas, because she was on our same wavelength. We could not be happier with the final product! Kristin suggested some very unique components to include when planning the reception space, which really made the event even more memorable. She seamlessly coordinated all of the elements leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of the event. We did not have to worry about it all coming together, because we knew everything was in great hands. We wholeheartedly recommend using Kristin Ashley events for your wedding; you will not be disappointed!
We hired Kristin Ashley Events for my wedding that was a couple of weeks ago. She is such a joy to work with not to mention the amount of talent and passion Kristin has! Leading up...
to the wedding she was amazing and on the wedding day she exceeded all expectations! Many of the guests commented on how on top of everything she was, didn't skip a beat! I can not say enough good things about Kristin and her talent. You need her as your planner for your big day!
We hired Jessie with Kristin Ashley Events to be my month-of coordinator. I truly do not know how I could have done it without her! If you're on the fence, not sure if you should b...
ook a planner or not, DO IT. She made the bulk of my day effortless and easy!
I hired Kristin and her team as our month of coordinator. That was the BEST decision we made!! Kristin and her team helped ease the stress of the overwhelming to do list that often...
comes during the month of your wedding. In addition to being helpful the entire month - Kristin also made our wedding day go off with out a hitch and was a big piece in making it our Best Day Ever! We are so grateful for Kristin Ashley Events and all they did to make our special day and the time leading up to it so very perfect.
Hands down, the best money I spent on my wedding was for Kristin and her team. I really don't know how I would have done it without her. While I did not pay for a full planning, on...
ly the month of, Kristin also has a great package where she will recommend vendors for you based on your budget and what you are looking for, set up meetings with a few of them for you, and help you work out the contracts. This was invaluable. We got married in St. Louis, but as I am not from there, I had no idea as where to even start looking for wedding vendors. Even if you are from a city, I cannot recommend this enough. You only get married once, but Kristin and her team does this every day. She helped us find and AMAZING team of vendors which truly made the wedding as special as it was. We worked with the nicest people who were all about giving us the wedding we wanted, not about doing what they like to do. Kristin also helped us put a budget together and was a great help in helping my parents and I understand what the range of prices were for things and what we cared most about. Although the real work didn't kick in until 6 weeks or so before the wedding, Kristin was there to answer questions and give us suggestions the entire way through. Starting 6 weeks before the wedding, Jessie became our main planner and we could not have loved her more. She was so professional and made the entire day run so smoothly. She was in touch with all of our vendors, she made a detailed schedule, and she was there to help with all of the hiccups that come with a wedding (like uninvited guests). Jessie came to our run through and made sure that we were all on the same page, and took all of the extras that we wanted put up on the day of the wedding. On the day of our wedding she was there for over 15 hours, and there was not a hitch in anything. We had a beautiful, fun, amazing day because of Kristin and Jessie and the whole team. We owe all of the amazing vendors to Kristin's recommendations and the smooth perfect day to Jessie's professional planning. If I have one recommendation for brides, it is to get a planner, and I could not recommend Kristin Ashley Events more.
Kristin was so amazing!! I was a bit worried during the planning process because sometimes she was slow to answer emails, but I shouldn't have worried at all. She handled everythin...
g that came up during the day, which let me relax and enjoy it. She did an amazing job with our wedding which was fairly complicated logistically. She has such a great energy and can literally do everything! She taught an excellent yoga class in the morning and helped me with my make-up. She is everything you want in a wedding planner.
Kristin is the absolute best wedding planner! I hired her for the full wedding planning experience and wow did she deliver! She did all the leg work, set me up with the best ven...
dors and venue... co-designed the whole look and feel of the wedding and OMG was it gorgeous! Couldn't have done it without her!! Definitely worth it. She was there for the day of coordination and even led a "morning yoga" session in the AM to put me at ease and calm my mind for the day. It was fabulous! Everyone said it was the best wedding they have ever attended! I am bias, but totally agree! They were all so impressed with Kristin and you will be too!! She is a gem of a person and the perfect combination of planner, advocate, designer and friend! Bravo Kristin and Team! You nailed it!
When my husband and I were first engaged, one of the first decisions we made was to hire a wedding planner. But who do we choose? I did my research, poured over St. Louis magazines...
, reviews, and kept running across the same name over and over... Kristin Ashley Events. When we met for our initial interview, there was absolutely no hesitation in signing a contract with Kristin. Rather than repeating the reviews already here, because they're all very true, I'll keep it straight and to the point. I gave Kristin and her team just a few ideas of our vision and she created an unforgettable moment in our life. Kristin isn't just a wedding planner... she truly creates moments and memories. I don't just recommend a wedding planner, I recommend Kristin Ashley Events.
We hired Kristin Ashley Events to help with month of wedding planning. Initially, we weren't sure if we wanted to spend the money for a planner - but as we started our planning - ...
we realized we needed someone to help with last minute details/planning. We looked at a few wedding planners and decided to go with Kristin Ashley Events for her month of planning -- and it was a great decision! She was so helpful with those last minute details and helped to take the stress off of me and my family. She helped with our wedding day timeline and other things that I didn't really want to worry about the week of my wedding! Would highly recommend her!
We chose Kristen Ashley Events to help with our daughter's wedding and it was a great decision. We chose the full coordination services so we worked with Kristen for almost a year...
. She is knowledgeable, professional, fun and personable!
What we liked best about Kristen was that she really listened to what our future son-in-law and daughter's vision was for their wedding and she did everything possible to make sure they had the wedding of their dreams. She far exceeded our expectations and the wedding was wonderful!
Our daughter lives out of town so her planning time was limited. Kristen organized our visits to make the best use of that time. Her vendor knowledge and expertise were awesome. She gave our daughter plenty of options but not so many that it was overwhelming.
Everyone commented on the day of the wedding about how smoothly everything ran. That was due to Kristen. Even when little issues came up, she and her staff handled them beautifully. We felt that having Kristen there really allowed us just to enjoy the day!
We would highly recommend her!
I really enjoyed working with Kristin! She made sure everything went smoothly on our big day, and the months leading up to it! She is kind, professional, organized, and very passio...
nate about weddings! I would recommend Kristin Ashley Events to any bride-to-be!
Hiring Kristin as my “month of wedding coordinator” was definitely the best decision I made during the wedding planning process! In addition to being super laid-back, fun, and cra...
zy cool, she is hyper-organized and always in control (not a typical combination.) Kristin has incredible event design experience as well… I didn’t think of this before my wedding, but having a planner with a “designer” background, is absolutely necessary. Not only will they facilitate your event, they will meticulously create your vision down to the last detail. My wedding went seamlessly thanks to Kristin’s help, guidance, support, and friendship! If you want a beautiful wedding and do not want to be stressed out throughout the process, hire KAE!!!
And hire Kristin! Where do I start? Hiring Kristin as our wedding planner was by far the BEST decision we made when planning our wedding. When planning I had this visual in my head...
but didn't know how to make it come to life. I wanted to remember every second of our day, I wanted it to be all about Greg and I, and I didn't want to have to worry about one thing. Every single one of my "wants" came true not only on our day but through the entire planning process. She was extremely professional, patient, caring and knowledgable!
I will close with this quote my Maid of Honor said to me the very next morning afterour wedding...
"I always thought wedding planners were a waste of money but Kristin was money well spent! The day was literally flawless and super organized! I didn't have to do anything! Everyone should hire a planner and not just a planner, HER!"
I couldn't have said it better!
With love,
Jillian
From day one, Kristin was amazing! She kept ALL the stress out of wedding planning. She assisted in choosing all of my vendors. She gave me 2-3 options of vendors that she had work...
ed with then I was able to research each and make a decision. She made sure all of the little details were taken care of and PERFECT! I knew she would make sure my wedding was perfect and she did! I'm a little bias, but it was the most beautiful event I have ever seen! Now, on to how she saved my wedding. I had an outdoor tent wedding in June. I made the mistake of thinking that IF it rains in June, it'll just be a little shower... Boy was I wrong! A severe thunderstorm rolled through just as guests were taking their seats. (Luckily their was a large pool house on property so we were able to take shelter as the storm rolled through) As the wind howled I heard glasses breaking, saw napkins flying, and realized quickly all of the beauty that Kristin and our vendors had created, was quickly being blown away. I went in the pool house knowing that my tent would be a wreck and who knows what would happen with the rest of my wedding. Little did I know, Kristin and my AMAZING vendors (that she had recommended) were out there being battered by rain, risking their own safety to save my day. 2 hours later, when guests were allowed back out to the tent, it looked as perfect as it had before the storm came. It was as if nothing had happened. Our day could have been blown away by mother nature, but Kristin stepped up, and saved our day. Even with a storm that would have ruined most people's perfect day, I still had the most beautiful wedding day. I look back on that day as the most perfect day, and I owe that to Kristin. Please, please, do yourself, your husband and your wedding a favor, and choose Kristin. She is the absolute best money we have ever spent, and the best decision we ever made. We love Kristin, and so will you!
I hired Kristin Weis of Kristin Ashley Events for day of(or month of) coordination. It was the best decision I made with this wedding. I wanted to do a lot of the planning myself...
, but knew that I was going to need someone to coordinate everyone on the wedding day. Kristin was fantastic!!! She was always very professional. She had great ideas, and lots of advice and recommendations of other vendors from the moment I talked to her 6 months out. She was very easy to contact, and answered all my questions so quickly. She was always friendly and upbeat. If I had it to do over again, I would have hired her to plan the whole thing!!!
On the day of the wedding, she and her team were on top of everything. She even had arranged some surprises, which my husband and I thought was so sweet, and such a personal touch. The best part of the day was that my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything, because Kristin was always one step ahead of us. They were putting out fires, keeping the wedding party and our families in line and where they are supposed to be on time, and on top of every last minute detail. Kristin Ashley Events is a top notch wedding coordination team that I was so lucky to have in charge of our big day!
We had a great experience with Kristin. My husband and I were a total mess when it came to planning our wedding - we were really behind. Kristin got us on track immediately. She ...
understood our vision and made it happen. The two most helpful things she offered were (1) connecting us with vendors to make our dream ceremony and reception come to life and (2) taking care of absolutely everything on wedding weekend. The vendors Kristin found us perfectly fit our needs and our style - we'd never have found many of them on our own and we loved all of them. Day-of, Kristin and her team were magical. They ran interference with family, made sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time, and that the reception was set up exactly the way we had hoped. I plan events for a University and know how much hard work goes into the little details and making an event seem flawless. At the end of the night, I realized I hadn't had to stop and think about anything and for someone who is OCD, that's a big compliment. Kristin Ashley Events is incredible and the service is absolutely worth the cost.
Kristin and her team were amazing! We hired her for the month- before package because my mom and I wanted to plan most of the event together, but wanted someone to help us tie up l...
oose ends and execute the day without our type-A personalities worrying. She allowed us to be a guest at our own wedding and run the entire day without a worry in the world! She and her assistant even sewed a bridesmaid into her dress because her zipper broke when she was putting on her dress before pictures! She tko care of so many things for us and I would recommend her to anyone!
My fiance' and I hired Kristin to coordinate our wedding, choosing her "month of" package. I planned a cocktail and dessert only reception in an outdoor space in July that was full...
of my DIY projects, Etsy purchases and a "vision" that was definitely not traditional. We wanted an awesome party...not a typical reception...no slow songs at our affair! Kristin was in and fully supported our decision and worked her butt off all day. I felt like we became friends! She was super personal, laughing and joking with me and my family and supporting me when my own family was not thrilled with our reception idea. She put up all of the decorations and made some command decisions to spice up the space; it was perfect. I would use her again and again if I had to get married a few more times and will recommend her to everyone that I meet who needs a wedding planner.
Kristin was so great to work with! She is very down to earth and easy to get along with! She made me feel at ease about everything throughout the entire process. I used Kristin for...
month-of coordination and design, and it was worth every penny! Kristin went above and beyond what we expected, and she also gave me a lot of amazing recommendations for other vendors! It made my wedding so much more enjoyable knowing that I had someone to trust that would take care of all the behind the scenes things. I honestly have no idea if anything went wrong on my wedding day!
I would definitely recommend Kristin to any bride!!
Kristen Ashley Events came highly recommended from everyone we asked. Kristen has great relationships with most of the St. Louis vendors, great taste, great ideas, and most import...
antly fun to work with! Kristin is very organized and remembered every detail so we didn't have to. She has the logistical part of the day down to a science. She took care of everything for us on our wedding day so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy it. We are happy to have her be a part of our special day.
