Kristy Rapp Events

r professionalism, organization and dedication to our wedding day truly showed. Every meeting we had leading up to the wedding made us feel at ease, despite us feeling like we were always behind. Kristy took her time with EVERY detail we wanted and always made us feel like a priority, despite all the weddings she coordinated before our wedding. She was calm and accommodating with last minute changes the day of the wedding and ensured everything ran smoothly. Kristy is truly a saint, and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter and experienced wedding coordinator.

y knows her stuff. She is sooo organized, everything she was involved with went to plan (and if it didn’t, I had no idea! Which is just as good in my book!). She helped our wedding day run so smoothly and she was able to keep track of the many items we brought with us for decor etc and made sure everything made it back to us at the end of the night. She paid attention to the every small detail we discussed with her during the planning process and made sure our vision came to life. It’s funny to think that at the beginning of the wedding planning process, I wondered if it was worth it to have a coordinator. I can confidently say YES it’s worth every penny. I cannot imagine not having a coordinator now that I’ve had my wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire Kristy, you won’t regret it 😊

sly and was done planning my wedding 2 weeks prior! It was so nice to not be stressed out that close to the wedding. Meeting with Kristy is always so great, she knows exactly what to ask, help you plan, and guide you with any question you have. The day of the wedding she took care of everything and I felt so at ease knowing Kristy was there to help with anything that came up. She truly brought my wedding vision to life and I am SO grateful I booked her to help with my wedding. Plus her prices are amazing for everything she assists with!!

she made sure everything went smoothly without us having to worry about a single thing!

ation/resources relevant to my area, such as vendor recommendations. There were so many little details that I would have never thought of if it weren't for her expertise. She was personable, responsive, and knowledgeable. Our wedding day seemed to go perfectly - either because it was planned out in such detail that everything was accounted for, or because Kristy was able to identify and correct any issues that came up without me needing to be involved. Either way, we owe that to Kristy (and her assistant!). She was attentive to us but was also able to direct and coordinate all of the vendors. She did a fantastic job of setting all of my décor out exactly as I'd envisioned. Kristy is organized, talented, and professional and the expertise she offers with her services are invaluable! I would recommend Kristy to anyone planning a wedding!

re. She was prompt to respond and set up an initial consultation via phone. She was warm, upbeat and very easy to talk to. She had answers to all of our questions and seemed to know exactly how to help our dreams come true. After about a week of comparing and communicating with other planners, it was clear that Kristy was the one for us. We hired her for our wedding and chose one of her day of wedding packages. She was always on top of all of our needs and wishes. She accommodated every single change or tweak along the way, without hesitation. Her personality at the in person meetings, left us feeling at ease that we would be able to fully enjoy our magical day and that she would make sure all went off smoothly and perfectly! She allowed us to use her extensive wedding accessory inventory free of charge, which saved us a lot of extra money. Her years of experience were clearly apparent, as she seem less Lt lead us through what we feared would be a long and hard process. The vendors she recommended were amazing to work with, and we even received discounts that she passed along to us for many of them. When our day was near, she ran the rehearsal at the venue (where she has highly respected). That day we must have asked a million questions, and she happily answered them all with a smile on her face. This left us at ease, for the next day. On the day of our wedding, she was prompt, attentive, organized and made every single aspect of our day absolutely perfect! The day went off without a hitch. If there were any, we never knew as she was right there on top of everything. Her timeline and detailed planning made the day run smoothly and effortlessly. She was there whenever we needed something or had a “bridal emergency”. Our day will be able to be remembered and enjoyed forever, thanks to her outstanding service! We highly recommend Kristy, to anybody who is looking for a top notch, professional, reliable and experienced planner, who will truly make your dreams come true! We can’t thank Kristy enough, and you will be in great hands with her.

together our dream wedding. Unfortunately, Kristy was not one of them. She was one of the two day-of coordinators available to us on the required vendor list, and the venue manager recommended her over the other coordinator, so Kristy was who we hired. What went right: - Her assistant Shelly was awesome, professional and polite and went above and beyond What went wrong: - Kristy never once answered my and my mom's calls on the day of the event, but texted us immediately after having an excuse not to pick up, even when it was urgent. - We missed one of the photo locations we had on our photo timeline because she directed catering to set up at that location. The photo timeline was given to her ahead of time, so this is information that was provided to her and is something she should have prepared for/coordinated. - She interrupted our first look to ask a question for something we had outlined with her during a meeting prior, which meant my parents missed seeing the first look. - Guest books were not moved to the reception like we asked, which resulted in them not being used as much as we had hoped - Items we had paid for (dessert plates, glasses) were sent back by Kristy, which meant we were not able to use the items we paid for - Kristy moved cocktail tables meant for the reception to the cocktail hour despite clear instruction of where they should have been placed (we even drew her a diagram during our last planning meeting for her) - Multiple guests and wedding party members had negative experiences with her, describing her as rude when simple questions were asked - She managed to break 5 cake and dessert plates while packing them up afterwards, despite protective wrapping prepared for her (which she had balled up and stuffed into an empty box); we had offered to do this ourselves but she insisted - Kristy threw away thousands of dollars of centerpiece flowers in the trash without consulting us stating "they were dead" despite them looking fine minutes before pack-up - Did not show up to the rehearsal but sent her assistant with incorrect information - Gave the DJ incorrect information on when the cake cutting was, something clearly outlined in the information emailed to her - Menu indicators for meal choices went unused because information was not clarified with caterers day of - As I was walking to change into my reception dress, I overheard her say my ceremony was "awkward" to the staff, which I feel was rude and unprofessional I would not recommend Kristy to anyone that wants their day to run smoothly, their guests to be treated with respect, or who values their property. I also want to mention that all of this information has been sent directly to Kristy as a chance for her to explain and improve, and she stated that these things were "out of her control". I am posting this to hopefully prevent other brides from having the same negative experience.

e on my own. She was very organized and definitely kept us on track. Everything went perfectly as planned on our big day (although I probably wouldn't have even known if something went wrong). I would definitely recommend Kristy. Her prices are also so reasonable for the value of her services!

end her; she works for them not the person who hires her. I wasn’t very impressed leading up to the wedding day, lack of communication, I would have to send more than one email to get response, always had an excuse as to why she didn’t answer the first email. On the day of she was no help at all. She will tell you all she will do, but then do nothing, she never stepped foot in the bridal suit to see if we needed anything, she ruined the gag first look by not knowing what was going on, she was nowhere to be found during the reception. Anytime I needed her she was in the “private” part of the venue sitting on the couch chatting with the venue manger. When I would ask her why something wasn’t done, I found out later she lied to me more than once about things. She did not take any stress off me or the bride. She made the night way more stressful than it should have been! VERY UNHAPPY for the money I paid compared to the service we got. She is not a people person and does not go with the flow on anything, if it isn’t her way, she is visibly upset and seems to shut down and not work alongside you any longer. I will say I had two daughters’ get married three weeks apart at two different venues (this being the first). I waited until after my second daughter’s wedding to write this, I wanted to compare her to the other coordinator we hired (the one that venue recommended). I did not want to give an unjust and out of hast review or write a review during high emotions. I can say hands down between the two coordinators they were not even in the same ballpark.

Kristy was one of the very best decisions we made for our special day. Kristy was always able to help us with recommendations for other vendors and ideas for different aspects of our ceremony. She is one of the most helpful people I have ever met. Kristy was always available to us to help answer any questions or give her input. She responded to our many email questions promptly and thoroughly. SHe truly had a genuine intention to be as helpful as possible to her couples. If you're overwhelmed with the planning process, this is the coordinator for you. Kristy already had the answers to so many things we hadn't even thought about, and she makes sure you are entirely prepared for your ceremony and reception. Even though we hired her for day-of coordination, what she did for us was much, much, more than that. She helped us through the whole process but also let us make our own decisions. It was a dream come true! We encountered an issue with our shuttle service, and Kristy immediately responded to get the issue taken care of. She also helped us game plan when the prospect of rain entered the forecast (luckily it never actually rained, and everything went according to our Plan A thanks to her flexibility). I should also mention that the pricing was the most inexpensive we found. But don't believe for a second that you aren't getting the best service, because you are! I cannot recommend Kristy Rapp events more highly. A++! Happy wife, happy life. This is the wedding planer for you!

d Shelly helped make sure that we had nothing to worry about at all on our wedding day! We found out after the night was over that we were running low on liquor (apparently our guests weren't in the mood for drinking hardly any wine or beer so the liquor was going fast) and Kristy went out to pick more up. We are so grateful for Kristy and Shelly's help in making sure our day went smoothly and seamlessly.

nd had worked with them regularly. She recommended several tips & tricks to help us save money. Our florist & cake company did a less than stellar job on our wedding day but Kristy stepped it up and fixed all of there mistakes - I didn’t even notice until Kristy told me herself. Everything was perfectly organized & looked exactly as I envisioned it. I would definitely recommend Kristy as a wedding planner for anyone else getting married in the Central Florida area.

l of our questions and was such a great communicator. On the day of the wedding she and her assistant were amazing from the second they arrived. They made sure everything ran on time, everything was set up perfectly, and at the end of the night everything was ready to go from our venue. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator to work with and are so grateful that she made our day so perfect!!

owledgeable, kept us on track, kept us sane, anticipated all details I didn’t even think about, was so patient with us even when thing got tough (ie COVID). Honestly, I am married today because of Kristy. She is amazing. Hire her.

immediately!

what she does. She was so helpful to recommend vendors and take care of details so you don’t have to stress during the process and especially the week and day of your wedding. She has a wealth of knowledge and tons of experience and is patient with indecisive brides like me. She even created a slide to display on the tv by the entrance that accurately matched our wedding "theme" when I did not get a chance to create my own. If you want your day to go smoothly trust her expertise and use her as your day of coordinator!

few questions a couple months leading up to the wedding, Kristy answered and gave advice. Starting a few weeks before the wedding, she started contacting all our vendors, checking in about last-minute to-do items, and just wrapped everything up perfectly. If you're going back and forth on whether to hire a planner for your big day or not -- PLEASE hire the planner! You will save yourself more stress and worry than you can possibly imagine on the day of your wedding. Kristy was there to help with SO much -- and I will always be thankful for her!!

ed/on the right track, and helped me remember even the small details. She provided us with great vendor recommendations and even had an awesome wedding inventory we were able to borrow from. I have a knack for stressing over everything, but on the day of my wedding I didn't stress over a single thing thanks to Kristy. She ensured everything ran smoothly and was never far if we needed something or had a question. Thank you for everything Kristy, you are truly amazing!!

collected and reassured us that it's okay and happens to everyone! I could text her any time of the day with stupid questions and she'll always answer them and gave us very honest opinions and recommendations. We just kept telling ourselves through the process, "What would we have done without Kristy??" She just made everything such a breeze. Thank you, Kristy! :)

moothly and was so on top of things! I cannot recommend her enough! Our wedding day was perfect and I owe much of that to Kristy. If you are looking for a professional, understanding, and organized coordinator look no further!!

ty was amazing from start to finish. She is so organized and detail oriented, she helped me prepare for wedding by providing me with spreadsheets and to-do lists. She took all of my stress away. Also, her vendor list and picks were AMAZING!!!!!!! From the venue, to hair and make up, floral, seriously the best out there!! I put all of my trust in Kristy and she delivered. My dream in my wedding day was to be able to sit back, relax and drink champagne with my Bridal party and I that dream became a reality due to Kristy.

ty was ontop of her game. Our first meeting she had so many great questions, suggestions, and ideas as well as gave us a list of things we needed to do to achieve our big day. She provided recommendations for amazing vendors that we used for our wedding and all were phenomenal. Kristy followed up with me to make sure I was staying on track with booking things as well (even texting me a few days before the wedding to suggest items we still needed to remember to get last minute ((guest book, and drink tubs))) We had our wedding on 8/16/20 during Covid-19 with restrictions and Kristy didn't miss a beat. On the day of our wedding Kristy was a peaceful rock, guiding us into each phase of our night, my dad and I down the isle , the ceremony, our dance, couples portraits, family photos, even breaking down the event. Both my husband and I were not stressed ONCE thanks to Kristy! She knew what both of us needed before we even knew. The cherry on top of the perfect Kristy wedding experience was her incredible thoughtfulness. She boxed up 3 portions of our wedding dinners and each flavor (4) of our wedding dessert cakes in a to go bag and gave them to us which we enjoyed later that night when we got to our hotel. My husband and I can not stop bringing up how impressed and grateful we were and are to have Kristy as our planner. THANK YOU KRISTY!!!!! -Laura Morgan

lable to talk through things, had a handle on everything, and was able to make me feel calm when everything was less than calm! She took our vision and made it a reality. From helping me find a last minute hair and makeup after a Covid emergency to talking me through other last minute problems. She is so organized and is committed to making sure you get your happily ever after. We cannot thank Kristy enough!

ep me organized as well. I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about on my wedding day because she was there. I would definitely recommend using her!

eded to have the most perfect wedding. We are in awe of how lovely and honestly perfect our day was, and we owe so much of it to Kristy and her organization, professionalism and attention to detail. I put a lot of thought into different aspects of the evening, passed over to Kristy and it was all executed so beautifully and just as I had imagined. From creating the perfect timeline, to sharing her personal inventory, to setting up our personal touches and then packing them up for us at the end of the night...the list goes on---Kristy was invaluable and we are forever thankful to her for being a part of our journey and making sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

a plethora of resources, information, and contacts, and when she didn’t, she had great suggestions that guided us in the right direction. She is very relaxed and flexible and kept us grounded the entire time. She went above and beyond, from purchasing our favors for us (of course we paid her back) to picking up our donuts so we could avoid a delivery fee, to helping us negotiate fees when there was a hiccup. My vendors and family were also super impressed with the timeline she put together and our wedding went without a hitch! We would highly recommend her to anyone. She is worth every penny and more!

e Kristy to help plan our destination wedding in Orlando. Ever patient and kind, Kristy had a fantastic list of vendor recommendations for this out-of-town couple, and was always so happy to share her insights, thoughts and suggestions for when we were unsure about some of the smaller details. She decorated our reception beautifully and had a huge inventory of signs and wedding items we were able to borrow to make our wedding uniquely ours without breaking the bank. Kristy has such an incredible demeanor for a wedding planner - very cool and calm but simultaneously organized and efficient. She was able to fit the scheduling of all our vendor meetings plus our engagement photo shoot in to one weekend in Orlando, and kept us on time with our planning so that I felt so on top of things throughout the whole process. We also appreciated the additional help negotiating with one of our vendors - Kristy was more than ready to jump in with suggestions to keep costs within our budget. Kristy, thank you so much for all that you did for us and for keeping us so organized and stress free. You made wedding planning a dream and we could not imagine doing it without you. So grateful!!!

from family members of all ages, wedding courts of all personalities, and even our vendors and officiant all over the place. Kristy also has a great knack for knowing which situations she needs to play out and resolve itself, and which situations require an executive decision from us. At the end of the day, she was able to let us enjoy our night - which was the best gift any coordinator can give us.

like I did not even have to lift a finger to make my wedding amazing. She was always able to be reached throughout the planning process and handled kept everything on track. She even ran our wedding rehearsal the day of to accommodate our out of state bridal party members. She was amazing!

ntory she had, every step of the way was great! She kept us on track and our special day ran just as we planned thanks to her and her team! We would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks for making our day perfect!

beyond the typical day-of-coordinator, meeting with us multiple times, reaching out to vendors on our behalf, and checking in regularly to make sure we were on track. I also need to mention that her vendor recommendations saved us SO MUCH MONEY! She knows the best local vendors that you may not know of that do amazing work for the best price. The day of the wedding, we worked mostly with her husband Nick (she was sick and had no voice, but was still there!) and he didn’t miss a beat. It was clear that Kristy had shared every little detail with Nick and he executed the day flawlessly. Thank you both for an amazing day and we recommend you a million times!

had multiple meetings leading up to the event, she attended two venue meetings with me, and I always felt that she was reachable if I needed her. I tend to be extremely type A, but she was always ahead of me. On the wedding day she stopped by the venue early to make sure everything was running smoothly, and then came back later as scheduled. The day ran so perfectly, and it is thanks to her. She kept me on track during the planning process, and kept everyone on track during the wedding day. I am so endlessly grateful to her for everything she did to help make my perfect day a reality. HIRE KRISTY! You will not regret it (:

. She kept us on track and over time we thought we had it all under control but then she would remind us of an important task we didn't even think of. She was great with keeping in contact with the vendors as well. She did it all! And when the big day arrived I wasn't even stressed because I knew she wouldn't let me forget anything important. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it wouldn't have been without her help and expertise. She is perfect at her job and damn good at it. I highly HIGHLY recommend her.

ist of preferred vendors that were amazing. Kristy was super organized, professional, and definitely passionate about her career. She always made herself available for my questions and our meetings every time. Her inventory was able to save me tons of money and her services were SUPER affordable! Thank you so much !

orry about a thing. I left my sweet heart table and other items to her discretion and did I make the right call. The reception hall was just breath taking and more than I could have imagined. She brought my vision together just perfectly. Throughout the whole planning process Kristy kept me right on track and she brought attention to things I would not have thought of. She was just the right person for us and I would highly recommend Kristy Rapp Events.

hiring her. If anything went wrong behind the scenes, let's just say we still do not know about it! Her and her assistant made sure our day was flawless and ran smoothly. She was amazing! Responsive to all of our unlimited emails and texts and then the last month leading up to our wedding day she met with us to finalize the itinerary and we dropped off all of our boxes of decor items for her to set up and break down at the end of the night! She got us a discount on our wedding invitations as well! Without her, the day would have consisted of us setting up and not allow us nor our families to really enjoy every moment! She was phenomenal!!

et anything! She was on top of everything! She set up all of our decorations on the day of our wedding, and they looked better than I could have imagined! She took care of all the little details that day, and we just got to enjoy our day! Would absolutely recommend!!

ings are a large part of why things were so perfect. Kristy is kind, understanding, and ALWAYS helpful. Anyone that books with her will not regret it!

r a few emails to get her suggestions on vendors and opinions. I had a vision for what I wanted the ceremony and reception space to look like and she set it up perfectly with all of our décor. We got everything back and she made sure the building was completely clean, staying until the very end, so we got our venue deposit back. I would highly recommend her! She takes so much stress away from the bride the day of!

da since that's where we met and where the majority of our guests lived. I was nearly crippled with fear at the idea of planning a wedding from over 2,000 miles away, but was delighted when Kristy's name was recommended by multiple friends. My mom contacted her and they met a few days later. After the meeting, my mom called and stated that Kristy was absolutely the person to handle our wedding. Kristy made planning a wedding EASY on my mom, husband, and myself. Her organizational tools (regularly updated budget sheets, to-do lists, customized vendor lists, etc.) kept us on track and we never had to worry about if there was anything we were forgetting. Her calmness and professionalism can keep even the most anxious of brides calm (like when your lodging option falls through three months before the wedding!!!) My favorite thing about working with Kristy is that she only sent vendor recommendations that were within our initially planned budget. This allowed my husband and I to research the vendors based strictly on the product they were providing, without having to worry about the cost. Our wedding day was stress-free, thanks to Kristy! I had full confidence that everything was taken care of, and I only needed to be present in each moment. I also knew that if there were any problems that arose, Kristy would take care of it without me ever knowing there was a concern. I know people use "day of" coordinators, but I can't imagine not having Kristy there for us from the very beginning...before we even had a date! I think it's also important to state that Kristy's connections and professional relationships with vendors SAVED us more money than we spent on having a wedding planner. You can't afford NOT to hire her!!!

ing from the first day, the meetings, slight stress meltdowns, through all the last minute changes due to being on a mandatory lockdown for two whole days before the wedding due to Hurricane Matthew (a day before our wedding!), all the way up until the venue was being cleared out. Kristy is professional and very passionate about her work which was a #1 priority for me. She was very organized, communicated with me in a timely manner, kept me on track to getting things done on time, communicated with other vendors to make sure things were going to be running smoothly, made the reception decor even better than what I imagined, I could go on and on! If you are considering Kristy, DO IT!

d a handle on the event and took care of so many details! Highly recommend!

sure everything was perfect. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with Kristy again!
