Kris did an amazing job with partial planning, day-of coordination, + design and florals for our wedding! Her eye for design (in terms of both flow of the day/event structure plus actual decor) really sets her apart from other planners. She kept the stress off of me and my partner and made sure that every last detail was beautiful. She handcrafted many items and kept things low cost while keeping guest experience and presentation at a high level. Thanks Kris!

I don’t think I can truly explain or fit into a review how amazing Kris with unKAGed events is! We hired Kris because this was a destination wedding for us and we needed help with locating vendors and wanted to feel like we had someone that we could work with in the area that was familiar with the industry and able to coordinate day of for us. I had my initial call with Kris and immediately felt comfortable and listened to with any questions or concerns I had with planning. She offered us different vendors for catering, rentals, dj and cake. She setup up tastings and meetings with all vendors making sure we felt comfortable and confident with every vendor we went with. Kris went above and beyond being CCd on every email and on every call. She provided quick and accurate information throughout the planning process. We ran into issues with our venue along the way and Kris was right there beside us helping us and working through it. What can feel like the chaos of wedding planning we knew we could trust her and rely on her. When it came to day of as a bride it’s hard to feel like you don’t have full control over your day. However trusting Kris after working with her leading up to the big day I knew she was going to do all she could to bring my vision to life and make the best decisions for our wedding. She did just that! I can’t put into words how much she did for us - from all the work leading up, rehearsal, setting up ceremony site, setting up cocktail hour, setting up the reception tables and seating chart and then breaking it all down after - she truly does it all!! I knew I was hiring someone to help us along the way and for the day of our wedding what I didn’t know is I was hiring someone who would care about us the way she did.

Kris was absolutely amazing. She was my rock, especially day of, and the wedding would not have gone so perfect without her! She was fabulous to work with from start to finish. She was compassionate and always tried to find the best way to do things, if something had to be tweaked. She was a great communicator and always went out of her way to make sure we were okay! She is the best and I highly recommend her 😊

Kris was wonderful to work with start to finish. Based off the size of our families, we were initially struggling with the daunting task of navigating a large scale wedding while still making sure our number one priority of efficiency, seamlessness, and intentionality were maintained. We expressed these concerns to Kris early on and were met with understanding and confident guidance towards practical solutions. Kris knows the Hudson Valley very well. Working with someone who lives here and knows this areawas very important. Seeing Kris spring into action day of the wedding was wonderful. She was calm and collected but simultaneously leading the charge and making everything happen - we had not a worry in the world for the whole day and we are very thankful for that.

Working with Kris was a highlight of the wedding process for me! I first met Kris in 2022 at my friend Liz's wedding that Kris was coordinating. I saw and heard firsthand how integral she was to the day, and knew when planning my August 2024 wedding that I needed to enlist Kris's services.
I so appreciate Kris's approach to coordination - she knows how to execute a vision like an absolute pro. On Wedding Day, I was actually surprised at how smoothly things were going. I kept checking my phone waiting for one vendor or another to call or an issue to pop up - but nothing ever did. The day after our wedding, our bridal party told us all the tiny details that had gone a bit awry and sung Kris's praises for handling everything that came up like a champion while I was enjoying the best day of my life. I will always appreciate that she didn't let me sweat any small stuff that day.
Kris is an amazing communicator, a top-tier executer, and I trusted Kris's vision completely. I cannot recommend enough!

My husband and I are both active-duty military and had an 8-month timeline to organize our wedding in upstate New York at my husband’s family’s private residence. We paid for the full time planning, design, wedding florals and rehearsal dinner services, and day-of wedding coordination.
Kris is especially skilled at day-of coordination for our wedding and we recommend her services! She set up all of our DIY decor and helped execute our intricate wedding plans. The florals also looked lovely. Excited to see how her business continues to grow!

As someone who was stressed about even the *idea* of planning a wedding, I knew I needed to find a great planner if I wanted the process to be as smooth as possible. I chose unKAGed events because I felt like I actually got a feel for who Kris was through their website and the introductory phone call. She seemed like someone who would provide her expertise without pushing her opinions on us, and that is exactly how our working relationship was. Bonus, we kept finding things in common along the way! The more we worked together, the more it felt like discussing with a friend - a super talented and creative friend who knew how to get things done.
My husband and I really leaned on Kris for vendor recommendations, help with interview calls, and debriefing afterward to help us make decisions. Not to mention the daunting tasks of coordinating said vendors, creating a wedding day timeline, and being a point of contact for everyone. Since we aren't from the area, it was also so helpful that Kris was able to recommend local places for our engagement shoot and things for guests to do during the wedding weekend. Plus, it was invaluable having someone with a deep knowledge of what we should be doing in the months leading up to the wedding, and making sure that nothing was forgotten.
Kris was always so patient and helpful even when we had no idea what we wanted. When I say that we had no vision I'm not lying; I basically gave her nothing except a handful of basic pinterest photos. Kris took what little I gave them and ran with it, searching through various sites for ideas and using feedback we gave to come up with a theme we could work with. By the week of the wedding, Kris knew my style preferences so well that they'd send me a photo of a design feature and already knew exactly how I'd feel about it. Kris made a darling welcome mirror sign and arched wall seating chart that was such a highlight in the space. She also collaborated with our florist (Rachael from bad boss bride) to create the dreamiest tablescapes.
As much as we loved working with Kris the months before the wedding, nothing could ever describe how incredible she was on the actual day. Everything we had discussed and planned for seemed to go off without a hitch and I know it was their meticulous work that got us there. All of the items we brought were placed exactly where we wanted them, we kept up with the schedule, and Kris even packed things up so that we'd have less work to do at the end of the night. She truly did a phenomenal job. My only regret is that we didn't take a picture together that day!
I would highly recommend Kris and unKAGed events for wedding planning. Couldn't have done it without them!

Kris was wonderful as our day of coordinator. The name is definitely misleading as she did way more work than just the day of! We were so happy that we were able to relax on our wedding day knowing that all of the details were handled by her and her team. Our vision for our special day was executed perfectly thanks to her. We would 100 percent recommend Kris!!!!

So grateful to have worked with Kris from unKAGed events for the month leading up to our wedding! As soon as she came on board, it was a huge relief. She was an invaluable support in every way-- from organization to experience. Her ability to communicate with our more DIY wedding venue was worth it, alone! She successfully negotiated a contract that needed revisiting, helped my now-husband find a last minute emergency haircut, and made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding! You truly never know what will go wrong as the big day comes-- and Kris was great at putting out those fires and executing a timeline so smoothly! Only wish we hired her for more months! Thanks again, Kris!!

Kris was a godsend. Her nonsense yet fun attitude is much needed so you can enjoy your day properly. Kris started working with us honestly well before she had to. We brought her on for month of coordination but she started helping by being a sounding board, providing a super helpful Excel sheet, and providing advice from day one. We were having a somewhat destination wedding in that we live 7 hours away from our venue, so it was so reassuring to be able to trust that she'd have everything handled. The venue had a LOT of moving parts, and I admittedly wasn't as organized as I would have hoped to be going into the day. I trusted Kris to take the reigns come time for the rehearsal and she did so wonderfully, leading the order of events and taking that off our plates. Her coordination was impressive, especially since there was an entire ski lift to take for our ceremony location. And her florals were absolutely positively stunning. They were pieces I never thought we'd be able to attain and she brought a dream and a bunch of Pinterest pins to life! She was accessible for any random questions we had leading up to the day and I left every phone call feeling more relaxed and reassured. I can't recommend leaning on Kris enough for your big day! Thanks Kris!!

We absolutely loved working with Kris for our wedding. She is truly a one stop shop for everything, from planning services to design to flowers to day of coordination, which was incredibly helpful and cost-effective. She was super receptive to all our ideas and to our evolving vision for what we wanted the day to look and feel like. It was incredible to see all of her hard work come together on our wedding day and we are so grateful for everything she made possible. <3

I originally wasn't planning on hiring a wedding coordinator, however a lot of our decor was DIY and I decided it would be easiest to hire someone to help set it all up. Most venues have coordinators, but their interests are aligned with the venue, not the bride. We decided to hire Kris for her month-of coordinating, but she helped before that point as well. After my first meeting with Kris I knew I had made the right choice. She not only was on board with helping to set up my decor, she also provided a lot of tips and guidance along the way. Her digital resources are super helpful! It was great to have someone completely in my corner to help guide (and calm!) me along the way. She even helped with a cake-dilemma, stepping in to provide decor at the last minute. When it came to the actual day, it was so nice to not have to worry about a thing. When I did eventually see the set-up everything was perfect! If you need someone to help guide you a little (or a lot!), help with decor, keep your vendors on track, and organize your day I can't recommend Kris enough!

Kris was our coordinator but also did day of decor set up and break down. She was fantastic and even received compliments from my photographer on how great she was. It was raining all day leading up to our wedding and she was able to make a lot of decisions on set up that would be best for rain even purchasing a tent needed for the DJ 2 days before our wedding, since we found out our venue didn’t have enough. She also reorganized the decor once the rain had stopped and set up our sweetheart table post ceremony beautifully. My vision definitely came to life thanks to Kris and she took the stress off me.

TLDR: An attention to detail and indomitable spirit to make your wedding day feel like it's in the best of hands! Kris stepped in at the last minute to help me out and I couldn't have picked a better person to take over.
The Deets:
I finally reached out to Kris about a month before my wedding and I was just a total wreck. There were too many moving parts, too many emails, too many things to follow up on and just NO time between work and life to handle it all. Kris calmly talked me through things to figure out where I was at, what my vision was and what was left to do.
I really would not have gotten through that last month, or even the day of, without her. She took over setup of my DIY photo booth and this balcony space I just didn't know what to do with. Kris made that space and photo booth such an oasis, just what I wanted! Her inventory of props and creative experience created such a fun glow-up and relieved such a big burden from my shoulders.
Kris is organized, communicative and just so much fun to talk to. She took charge of my vendors and communicated with my venue seamlessly. She worked hand-in-hand with the venue coordinator on such short notice and I really, really can't thank her enough.
DO NOT HESITATE! Book Kris before you get to that overwhelmed state and KNOW that you are in just the kindest and most capable hands. Already in total overwhelm? Reach out to Kris immediately and let her help you out!

I had the pleasure of working with Kris as the wedding planner at Grace and Amilcar's wedding in June 2023, and let me tell you, she was an absolute dream to work with, especially from a wedding photographer's perspective. Kris is one of those people who just exudes organization and calmness. It's like she was born to be a wedding planner.
Throughout the day, she was right there whenever we needed her, always ready to lend a hand or provide information. It was a wedding at the barn at Villa Venezia, and usually, I'm used to the typical wedding chaos, with everyone running around like crazy. But this time, thanks to Kris, everything felt incredibly relaxed.
The best part was that Kris's easygoing and kind nature made the whole experience enjoyable for the couple and all the vendors. It was refreshing not to have to deal with any last-minute crises or frantic moments. Instead, we could focus on capturing beautiful moments without any added stress.
In a field where perfection is the goal, Kris managed to create a wedding day that felt perfect but also wonderfully relaxed. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she made it feel like a breeze. If you are a wedding vendor or bride and you ever get the chance to work with Kris, consider yourself lucky. She's a true professional and a joy to work with.

Working with unKAGed events was an absolute dream. We originally hired Kris to help us with all the day of details and making sure everything was executed flawlessly, but we got was so much more. Whenever I needed her, she was right there to put my mind at ease - from getting ready to the moment I walked down the aisle. When my bustle broke on my dress who was right behind me to fix it - KRIS. When my mom's strap was falling off her shoulder right before walking down the aisle who had a fanny pack full of supplies to fix it - KRIS. All of the details that I dreamed up but didn't quite know how to bring to life Kris made happen. Our special day was made all that more special thanks to Kris and unKAGed events.

Kris at Unkaged Events made the wedding of our dreams come to life. From each stage in the process Kris was so integral and supportive. We had a lot of unexpected challenges in our process (venue change, family drama, etc. and Kris was there for us through it all). They executed my vision in way I wasn’t even able to put into words, they just got it and made it happen! I was especially amazed by the floral arrangements they created (see photos). It was beyond magical and beautiful. We are thrilled and awed by the work they did. We also received a lot of complements from guests about how organized and well executed the event was and how impressed they were with our planner in particular! We would hire Kris 100 times over.

Kris helped the impossible become possible. We had a tricky venue, a very specific vision, and an almost entirely DIY wedding. Our guest count ballooned dramatically.

From the first conversation I could tell we were on the same page and she would make my visions a reality and then some. And she did. She handled every detail on day-of and I literally shudder to think of how it would have gone down without her. A million thanks to Kris!!

Kris Glover-Rasimas is a fantastic day-of wedding coordinator! She met with us at our venue a few weeks before the wedding to help us finalize some details, and helped out a lot with our understanding of the overall flow of the event. On the day-of, she worked incredibly hard in the background to keep everything moving forward and in-line with our vision as we had discussed on a phone call the week before. She even went the extra mile and set up our afterparty at our hotel so that our guests wouldn’t have to lift a finger. She was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend you work with her for your wedding!

Kris was our wedding coordinator for our backyard wedding that started off with 25 guests and ballooned to 65. She was always cheerful, full of great ideas, and had terrific contacts for all of the vendors that we needed for the Friday evening rehearsal dinner, Saturday afternoon/evening wedding, and Sunday brunch. Also very important was that she was always mindful of our budget and gave us alternatives at each step. We have no hesitation in recommending her!
