Kristy Rapp Events

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.

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.

ack. 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!

’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.

al 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!

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.

& 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.

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!!

ails 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.

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!

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!!

ails. 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!!

ne! 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! :)

gh! 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!!

etail 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.

t 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

s 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!

about on my wedding day because she was there. I would definitely recommend using her!

ly 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!

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!

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!!!

ities, 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.

azing. 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!
