We hired Kristy of Milestone Events based on the recommendation of a friend of ours who works in the industry and said that Kristy was the best wedding planner she had ever worked...
with (and she has worked with MANY). Kristy was the perfect wedding planner for us as she is very friendly, fun, personable, patient and understanding, but what makes Kristy a great wedding planner is that she is someone who will get sh*t done, be on top of every detail, keep every vendor in line and and do it all with a smile on her face. Over the 6 or so months that we worked with Kristy, she kept us on track and with every detail, when one vendor didn't give us a product we liked or charged us a price we thought was crazy Kristy had other great options for us to use that worked out beautifully. On Dec 3rd, we finally had our beautiful black tie wedding at the Mandarin Oriental - even though it was only 200 people, it had a lot of moving parts, and Kristy ran it like the conductor of the Phil Harmonic. My wife and I enjoyed the greatest night of our lives and without Kristy this would have never been able to happen.
Kristy was incredible. I spent about a year planning my wedding, and worked with Kristy for month-of coordination. Friends and colleagues commented on how calm I seemed in the mon...
th leading up to the wedding, and that is probably all due to Kristy and her team putting my groom and myself at ease. They picked up my vision easily and seamlessly, helping me with pieces I couldn't quite figure out. I had a bit of a unique wedding with an untraditional caterer who had never catered a wedding before, furniture rentals, a staffing company, and lots of other little pieces to coordinate - so my wedding was probably more work and more coordination than most. And since there were so many moving parts, I was very worried leading up to it how everything would work together. As the day got closer, and I sat in on calls with my vendors and Kristy/Danamarie, I realized very quickly that they had grasped the exact type of event I wanted, and they were going to pull it off. At some point, I completely stopped talking to my vendors and put the entire thing in their hands. I trusted them completely to make the right decisions, and I even knew there would be several decisions that would need to be made on site. This When I arrived at the venue and saw what my wedding looked like, those instincts proved to be right. Everything was beautiful, everything worked, there was enough food, the tables fit, it wasn't too crowded (all things I was nervous about leading up to the day) and this is mostly thanks to Kristy, Danamarie and the rest of their staff. They put so much time and effort into every aspect of our wedding day, and it truly was the most incredible night of our lives. I would recommend them to anyone having any type of event - this is truly the dream team to keep you stress free and allow you to enjoy yourselves on the day of your wedding!
We hired Kristy and her team for out very large multi-cultural Chinese-American wedding over July 4th weekend. There were many moving parts and I was worried we would not be able t...
o make it all work. We used her for Day of Coordination and it was worth every penny. When my wife's mom forgot the flowers she went back to my house and got them, when we needed to figure out how to get 280 menu cards, table runners, seating chart, and table numbers to the venue she picked them up and we didn't have to think anymore. There was a language barrier and they worked around it with out issue. I can not recommend her enough, from the very beginning on the phone she listened to what we needed and wanted for our day while many other coordinators we spoke to told us what they usually do. We didn't have a "usual" situation and we liked that she listened to us first then asked questions. I didn't want to hire a wedding coordinator but my wife made me and I am EXTREMELY glad we had Kristy come on board that day.
I attended a friend's wedding that was planned by Milestone events, and it was beautiful! So many intimate personal touches that portrayed the bride, the groom, and the couple. Kr...
isty was very professional and extremely attentive throughout the entire night!
As the sister of the bride and matron of honor, I saw first-hand how the decision my sister made to bring on Kristy in the 10 days leading-up to the wedding made all the difference...
and changed a stressful, tense situation into a relaxed, worry-free one.
Kristy and her team (especially Dana) stepped in to deliver on the final preparations with the reception site, to run the rehearsal and to manage all day-of logistics at the church and the reception. From the moment Kristy sat down with my mother and me before the rehearsal to go over all the timing and details, I knew that she would have everything in-hand and under control. She walked through every detail of the day and explained how she would be at the church while Dana would be at the reception site coordinating staff there, deliveries, set-up, etc. I liked her open manner and confidence and clear attention to detail. She stepped right in and took over where my sister's planning and arrangements had left off so that my sister (and mom) could relax and enjoy the day rather than worrying about what was happening next or if things were where they were supposed to be. And that was the greatest gift -- seeing the two of them able to really relax, enjoy themselves and share the joy of the day, worry-free. And we owe it all to Kristy and her team! If we had to do it all over, we would absolutely hire Kristy again. I couldn't recommend Kristy more.
I tried submitting this review and not going in!!! Maybe u can paste it in? I'll try again later today n see if works....
Kristy Giardino and her team were fabulous. I spoke...
with several planners before I got to her name on my list and immediately felt at ease and comfortable with her handling my large, multicultural wedding that occurred on 7/28/12. She answered all my questions, was available at all hours and made me feel as though my wedding day was top priority and making sure I had everything I could have ever wanted. I opted for the full service option with her and it was worth every penny. I needed her help due to my busy work schedule and oblivion as how to plan a wedding, she not only did a great job as a planner but she also became a friend. Her planning skills were evident on wedding day as there were some unplanned events that arose which she discreetly took care of without me knowing.
Whether you are planning an event for 20 or 200 people (like our wedding), you will most likely need help, especially toward the end. Not only did Milestone Events By Kristy do a g...
reat job in helping me plan the wedding, Kristy and her team were like WEDDING NINJAS on the big day. If there were any problems, I definitely did not know about them or even notice them. Kristy and her team were professional, on point, and just FANTASTIC. Our families were so grateful that they were there, taking care of everything that needed to be done, especially all the little yet important things that you'd never even think about. And most importantly, as a bride, you don't want to stress or think about anything on the big day. And I did not. I enjoyed myself to the fullest, dancing around in the bridal suite, without a care in the world. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Kristy, the proprietor behind Milestone Events by Kristy, is exceedingly helpful and fantastic at what she does!
She helped us find a venue we'd never have thought of, hooked us...
up with a great DJ, a great photographer/videographer, and advised on a multitude of details related to groom's men / bride's maids gifts, lighting, linens, cake, and most importantly, did it all in a very pleasant way.
Kristy was great to work with, very well organized and detail-oriented.
I cannot underscore that we literally couldn't have done this without her, as Kristy made our wedding significantly better than it would otherwise have been.
As a final point, even though it wasn't in our contract with her, Kristy went above and beyond at the Rehearsal Dinner by helping out in a countless number of ways including:
1)running out and buying additional bottles of wine after our rehearsal dinner party turned out larger than expected;
2)handing out excellent gift bags for all rehearsal dinner guests;
3)providing printed-out instructions detailing the wedding party's responsibilities for the wedding day.
In conclusion, Kristy didn't just meet our expectations - she surpassed them 10 fold. My new bride and I enthusiastically recommend Milestone Events by Kristy to any engaged couple looking for a planner!
My experience with Kristy was flawless. Being an organized machine that I am, I knew hiring a wedding planner would give anyone a run for their money. BUT, Kristy not only surpasse...
d my expectations but she exceeded them by far. Her attention to detail left not a single element uncovered. I spent a great deal of time with Kristy via phone, skype and in person throughout the entire process and every moment was not only fun but also left me with a sense of comfort knowing my special day was in great hands. On the day of, Kristy and her fabulous team felt more like family. They catered to everyone in the wedding party, including the kids and parents and made sure that not only was I happy but also that I was simply ok. It was a crazy day, but Kristy and her team brought me sense of calm and peace in chaos of a NYC wedding. I am forever greatful for having met Kristy and put my wedding in her hands!
I recently attended a wedding planned by Milestone Events by Kristy and I couldn't get over how flawless everything was. The whole day ran smoothly, even as a guest- i felt like I ...
was a guest of honor. Kristy and staff know how to have the most important day of a girl's life run FLAWLESSLY! GREAT JOB!
Kristy has been very helpful to me while planning my wedding. Whenever I had a question she would always give me the best wedding advice and opened my eyes to many options I didnt...
even know about. She is an excellent wedding coordinator and I would definetely recommend her to other brides!
I think Kristy is great and really helped me with my needs in planning my wedding. I was totally lost in what to do and I gave Kristy a call and she helped me and explained things...
to me step by step.
I especially used her consulting services to help me with my budget and vendors. On what I should get and how to go about things. I didn't go over budget, in fact I ended up not using some of my budget thanks to Kristy. She had really nice design concepts. I think shes an amazing wedding planner. I def recommend her.
I started working with Milestone Events by Kristy two months into my planning process. I originally thought that I was going to breeze through the planning with the help of my mom...
and friends but you really dont realize how much there is to do especially if you are working full time. I wasnt sure which package to go with since I thought I didnt need full planning because I already started the process. Kristy was very accommodating and was able customize a partial planning package for me that suited both my needs and budget. I must say she went above and beyond for us. We only had a 45K budget for 130 guests and by using her and her network of vendors she was able to save us substantial money on the flowers, invitations, and DJ. Even though Kristy is not a designer she and her florist were able to work together with me and my budget to create fantastic centerpieces, ceremony flowers and bouquets. She helped me with the whole look by getting table over lays and even convinced me to add uplighting which I am glad I listened (lighting really does make a huge difference) Kristy is very responsive and was readily available even during the evening. On the day of the wedding her and the team was on top of everything. They worked the vendors to make sure they were all taken care of, she made sure that everything was set up properly for the ceremony and I thought it was a really nice touch that she came to check on both me and the groom as we were getting ready to make sure all was ok. In the end, I am very pleased with my wedding. Milestone Events really helped me finish up everything I started, save me money and actually turned my vision into reality!
Just started using Kristy and her team for my upcoming wedding. She has already impressed me with her amazing details, organization and knowledge of the industry and the many savin...
gs she was able to pass down to me. Not only has she demostrated a keen sense of design style, but have also been extremely helpful by serving as the mediator with our family during senstive topics. I am delighted to have her as my wedding planner and super excited for my wedding day.
Kristy and her team were amazing! She helped me with "Day of Coordination." I had to convince my groom that we needed her but in the end he realized we couldn't have put on the w...
edding we planned without her! She was much more than a "Day of" coordinator - very helpful with ideas and suggestions way before her official time with me began. Our wedding had many moving parts (ceremony on a boat for an intimate group, reception different location and some others joining)and our ceremony location wasn't experienced in weddings. I really had the most beautiful day in my life and I owe that to Kristy! I highly recommend her - very personable yet very professional.
Kristi did a great job working with a difficult wedding plan. Both my wife and I were from out of town and had to do a lot of work in a short amount of time. Kristi helped us fin...
d a great florist and an excellent bakery. She had to work with a difficult wedding location and a lot of atypical plans. The wedding came out wonderful and was enjoyed by everyone. Thanks for making our special day such a great occasion.
