unKAGed events

to make our vision come to life. We were balancing wedding planning with full-time jobs and life stressors. Kris provides such meticulous, personalized and caring attention. Kris is so good at holding the small details and the overall vision of the event. We felt safe, taken care of, and encouraged throughout the planning process and wedding weekend. We so appreciated how Kris found ways to execute or aesthetic vision at a low-cost. Kris helped us navigate some very challenging dynamics with our venue. Kris made sure were were not aware of any of the issues on our wedding day. Because of this we were able to be 100% present. Kris made us feel much less alone in an overwhelming process and is truly a seasoned professional in this industry. We trust Kris so much and would recommend Kris to anyone planning a wedding!

with her—having already seen her incredible work at a sibling’s wedding—we knew she was exactly who we needed. Kris is not only a wedding mastermind but also warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She helped us get completely organized, ensured we had every vendor lined up, and guided us through important details we hadn’t even considered. What surprised us most was how she turned what felt like an overwhelming task into something exciting and enjoyable, making us actually look forward to planning. Thanks to her expertise, we felt fully prepared and at ease, knowing every detail was handled. Kris went above and beyond, and we truly believe anyone would be lucky to have her by their side on their wedding day.

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!

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 😊

ral 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!

ng for us and our vision / sense of peace throughout the day. And to keep the day flowing! Kris is the best.

d 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!

dding 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!!!!

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!!

credibly 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

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.

day! We couldn’t have done it without her!

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.

s 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.

cumstances, and went above and beyond every step of the way. Kris was also incredibly easy to work with and is a kind person. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Kris's help. Hire unKAGed Events!

owing we were in very capable hands. Everything went on without a hitch and we owe that all to unKAGed. Absolutely recommend to anyone with wedding planning needs!

y wedding and made it come to fruition. She is very organized, very prompt at answering emails/texts, and supported me through the whole process. With her expertise and connections, I felt that I was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family!!!

experience fun again! 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!!

th 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!

d keeping our event on track! I would work with Kris again!

time to listen to my ideas and requests and worked to make everything we wanted happen, without breaking a sweat. She is the planner you want in her corner. She held my hand every step of the way and dealt with every vendor. Let Kris take care of business and enjoy what will be the wedding of your dreams! I know mine was <3

meetings leading up to the wedding where we discussed the flow of events and she made sure that all of the vendors were aligned and prepared the day of. She was our right hand (wo)man! She even gave me her shoes at the end of the wedding when I couldn't feel my feet from my own shoes! She did excellent work and I would highly recommend her.

ts 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!
