We celebrated our wedding on 10/13/24 and hired Kristin as our Day-of Coordinator. My husband, family, and guests all agreed that bringing her onto our vendor team was one of the b...
est decisions we made!
Even though we hired Kristin for "day-of" services, she went above and beyond by discussing and helping us plan logistics months in advance. When we had questions about gratuities, she immediately scheduled a call to walk us through everything. Since she lives close to our venue,
Perona Farms, she also attended our rehearsal to meet the staff and ensure everyone was aligned on the schedule.
On the wedding day, Kristin became the point of contact for our guests, handling any messages or calls that neither my husband nor I could address. She checked in regularly with us, our bridal party, and our families. She even assisted the venue staff with setting up decor, distributed gratuities to vendors, and helped my bridesmaid relocate our card box.
While Perona Farms has an exceptional team with weddings down to a science, I knew I needed a Day-of Coordinator because multitasking, responding to messages, and keeping calm under pressure are not my strengths, especially when hosting a big event.
As a full-time social media coordinator, I’m used to keeping my phone on me at all times. But thanks to Kristin, I didn’t need my phone all night! Even my husband barely looked at his phone throughout the evening.
Kristin and her wonderful assistant, Meira, ensured everything ran smoothly and made sure we had the best time! If you're searching for a Day-of Coordinator, I highly recommend UEM Events & Designs!
Of the many decisions made when planning our daughter’s wedding, the best one was the hiring of Kristin at UEM Events as our day of event coordinator. Kristin’s vast experience and...
network of vendors, along with her successful planning process, gave us every confidence that the wedding day would be enjoyed by all with no worries for us. And it was! Prior to the wedding, Kristin visited our out of state venue with us to plan all of the details and to meet with the manager. She successfully interfaced prior to the wedding with all of the vendors and designed and managed the timeline of events on the big day calmly and beautifully. It wasn’t until after the wedding that I realized that we might not have had our wedding desserts if she hadn’t professionally intervened on our behalf. Her estimate for the beverage quantities was perfect, and the UEM bartenders were experienced, knowledgeable, professional and extremely pleasant with our guests. She helped us select and acquire the flowers for the shower flower bar, and has extensive floral design knowledge. Throughout the process, she was always accessible, knowledgeable, pleasant, thoughtful and hardworking, not to mention just fun to be around! We highly recommend UEM Events for any celebration large or small!
For our wedding, we used Kristin for planning our event, floral design, and her bartending business (Elixir). During the process, Kristin was super helpful, insightful, and knowled...
gable from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure our vision was captured and the day of ran smoothly. Her bartending staff were super kind and personable, not to mention the drinks were SO GOOD. We can't recommend her services and expertise enough for your special day or any planned event. Thank you so much, Kristin, for making our wedding day the BEST day of our lives!
We worked with UEM Events & Design as our wedding planner, and they were truly excellent. I do not say that lightly. Kristin was responsive and helpful from the moment we reached o...
ut to her. She went above in beyond in every single way. She connected us with other vendors (DJs, caterer, etc) who were all amazing. She also offered a variety of other services (decorations and flowers, mobile bar cart, picking up liquor, providing bar tenders, etc). There was absolutely no pressure for us to leverage any of these services through her, but we did and it was the best decision ever. On the day of she and her team were absolutely ON IT. If she ever saw my husband or I start to think about any of the logistics, she swooped in to take over and send us back to enjoy our guests. She also brought a whole bunch of things to the event including twine and clothespins to hang table name cards, a glass bowl for envelopes, etc etc. Professional, competent, and a genuinely lovely human being - I could not recommend Kristin more. Friends and family at our wedding commented how "on it" and wonderful she was, and we've recommended her to numerous other people. If you need any kind of event support, reach out to UEM Events & Design!
I highly recommend hiring Kristin and her team at UEM to help with any aspect of your event planning. I reached out to Kristin with a very specific request – to provide 6 beautiful...
Christmas trees of gradient heights, lit with white lights, and wrapped in burlap for my son’s December wedding. I had tried a couple other sources who did not have the contacts or resources to undertake the project before thankfully finding Kristin. Kristin was immediately receptive, made excellent suggestions, and carried out the project perfectly. The impact her efforts had on the wedding ceremony was just incredible! She was even able to work collaboratively with the florist to improve the overall look of the ceremony space. My only regret is that we did not engage her for other aspects of the day, as she is very creative, completely professional, and possesses a wide range of talents. Lastly, Kristin returned to the venue that night (at midnight) to collect the Christmas trees so she could deliver them to several local non-profits as gifts from our family. I can think of no better testimony to her character and kindness. If I am ever in need of a planner in the future, Kristin will absolutely be my first call!
Kristin and the rest of the UEM team made all of our wedding dreams come true. We had no idea what we were doing or really even what we wanted. We had some photos, some grand ideas...
and a color scheme. With that, Kristin was able to design a beautiful day for us that we couldn't have imagined.
She was with us every step of the way, helped us bring our ideas to life, kept everything organized, worked with the venue closely to ensure every element in our plan was in place, she advocated on our behalf to the venue, and kept everything within our budget.
Kristin was available for calls, was very communicative throughout the planning process, met us at the venue for walk-throughs with her team, and helped us dress up a fairly unconventional venue space into something stunning and unforgettable. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she had every detail planned down to the minute in a google doc and helped us stay organized as well as coordinating with our other vendors to ensure they were meeting their timelines for the day.
We loved her constant positive attitude, excitement and her problem solving. We would 1000% recommend Kristin and her team! We are so grateful to have found her and for all her help and support. I truly don't believe we would have had such a perfect, beautiful and fun day without her!
Kristin is absolutely amazing and worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. She is 100% on top of her game, and will make sure your day is absolutely perfect! We are very particular and planned ...
almost everything ourselves, but needed someone to make sure that everything went according to plan, so we hired Kristin as our day-of-coordinator. She asked all the right questions to make sure anything we may have overlooked or could have forgotten about was taken care of, and had all the answers for all of our questions.(She even made sure that we had back-up plans for everything!) If you're looking for someone that is basically OCD, super detail oriented, with a lot of energy, drive, and creativity, she's your gal!
I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved having Kristin as our planner!!
She was so caring, helpful, and organized. In the beginning of our wedding planning, we originally did ...
not hire a planner. A couple months in, I was overwhelmed and had no idea or extra time to dedicate to planning all the little details. This led us to Kristin, and we were 110% happy with this decision! Our wedding by the beach was beautiful and we could not have asked for a better support system and team!
Kristin is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She turned all of my wedding dreams into a reality while somehow taking out every bit of stress in the process. She is kindhearted, fun to work wi...
th, and creates the most beautiful events. If you are hesitant in hiring a planner, this is your sign to do it.
You don't know what you don't know, until you hire Kristen. She's absolutely amazing!! She has fantastic taste and ideas, and is calm and reassuring. From planning, to decorating a...
nd flowers, she does it all. She transformed our lake area into a magical wedding for my daughter and son in law that we will never forget! If you're planning an event, she's your girl!
Kristin was great to work with. She had so many ideas and was such a ray of sunshine who put us at ease while trying to plan our wedding. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to resch...
edule our wedding and then ultimately ended up canceling all together. But Kristin was so supportive during the entire ideal. We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an event planner.
Kristin Owner of UEM was the best wedding planner I could ever ask for. She helped us plan a wedding actually THREE weddings during the pandemic and what a pain in the ass that was...
. But each time she kept me calm and optimistic and realistic about what we could and could not do. She offered tons of things to decorate with to make our wedding perfect and boho. She spent hours calling and finding venues, caterers, DJs that were perfect for us. Then when we had to reach out to those people and ask for money back she was right there crafting email and text that helped turn my panicked words into ones that were more clear and direct. She was not only our wedding planner she was a friend and voice of reason when my family was up in arms about all the changes and shifts that inevitably were to happen during a chaotic time. I would 100% recommend her and her team to any couple planning their wedding. She is THE PERSON you want by your side and I am so grateful for all of her help. In the end when we finally figured out what we were doing which was supper small and I did not think I needed her help with family involved she volunteered herself to run around the woods with my mother hanging paper machete deco the day or our wedding. I love EUM and would seriously recommend Kristin and her team to anyone who is getting married. You cannot do it alone. They know the business they know the venues and their way around everything with your best interest in mind. Sending lots of love their way during this time!
My husband and I got married Sept 2019 and honestly without Kristen’s help, I would of been completely lost as to where to start first, what colors to go with and our theme. Kris...
ten is absolutely amazing to work with, has such an amazing style of decor and kept everything within budget and to our baseball wedding theme . Planning a wedding can be a little stressful but I was so lucky to have Kristen who was by my side from the beginning of planning up until the end of
the wedding night .
Better late than never. A year ago today Kristin helped bring my vision to life. She is such an amazing person and helped keep me calm throughout the wedding planning process. My w...
edding day went smoothly and I did not have to worry about a thing! She is such an amazing person! I spoke with many wedding planners and was about to settle for someone I did not connect with. Then I spoke to Kristin and I knew she was the perfect person to work with! So happy she was apart of our special day!
Kristin and her team helped us have a stress free wedding day and was extremely professional and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend working with them!
Kris recommended reliable, affordable local vendors, worked with us many times before the day of, and made sure all of the odds and ends were completed at our non-traditional venue...
. She was sweet and seemed very experienced, and helped us make our day look amazing. We would recommend Kris as a wedding planner.
Kristin and team are amazing! We used them for our wedding and they did such a great job even when dealing with a very challenging caterer. They kept everything flowing smoothly ...
and had such a great attention to detail, especially given our wedding was outdoors with over 230 people. There were a ton of logistical considerations. I would highly recommend! We loved her and her team!
