  Wow, planning a wedding in 2020 was so difficult! But we were happy to have Kristen to help. There is no way to have a wedding without a day-of planner. Someone to help with all the extra details you need set out AND have an advisor for other vendors when things go wrong or they need an opinion. Have to have!!

  Wonderful Experience!

  Kristen was so easy to work with, she is so down to earth, and really listens to what you want. She was fun to brainstorm ideas with for details and helped me fine tune the timeline to make it a smooth running, memorable day. The day of, she came early, and took care of everything while I was getting ready and I was in complete Aw when I saw just how wonderful of a job she did. She made it so that myself, and my parents didn't have anything to worry about. She connected with all of our vendors and made sure everyone was were they needed to be. Leaving your big day in the hands of someone else can be scary, but I would do it again with Kristen!

  Covid bride

  I found Kristen on wedding wire last year. My venue told me I needed a day of planner & I thought okay no biggie BUT I WAS WRONG. I needed her. I was a COVID bride so my wedding date & venue changed and Kristen was there every step of the way to offer me good advice and support me the whole way through. The day of was perfect & she made sure to take care of literally everything. She dragged wooden logs from my burn pile to make a cute aisle way and grabbed things out of my garage to set the day up perfectly. She is phenomenal

  Best Day of Wedding Coordinator

  When we started looking for coordinators, others were pushy! Kristen made it easy to talk to and not only that she was so responsive. I knew this is what I would want on my wedding day. During set up, Kristen took action and knew exactly what I wanted. She was laid back, yet professional and a great person to take a lead when needed. The girl knows what she’s doing and has great taste. I would recommend Kirsten to anyone who is looking for a day of coordinator/full coordinator to help make their wedding day run smoothly! Thank you again for everything, Kristen!

  Event Guru is AMAZING!!

  We used Kristen, with Event Guru to host our engagement party. From the first meeting with her she listened intently to our wishes and helped work with our budget. She was so patient and truly made our dream party come to life! All our guests just raved about the decor, especially the gorgeous fresh floral arrangements she made herself. I am of course using Event Guru for our upcoming wedding as well and have been so pleased with this experience so far. From helping us find our venue down to the DJ and food, Kristen has been by my side and helped keep me calm through all this crazy planning. I truly recommend her to anyone that just wants to be able to breathe and enjoy the process of creating your special day without feeling overwhelmed. She has been an angel!

  Kristen Is Wonderful!

  Kristen did such a beautiful job with our wedding! She connected us with a number of vendors to use at her venue, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we would need. On top of it all she has impeccable taste! Everything she does is beautiful, and I couldn’t recommend her more!

  Did not prioritize the wedding

  Wedding planners and coordinators are supposed to help make the the process way less stressful and as seamless as possible, especially on the day of the wedding. As a matron of honor in a wedding in May of this year, I can say that that’s not what happened with Kristen. As soon as the bride and I showed up for the rehearsal, she asked if she could just run through the rehearsal real quickly with the bride because she had to go pick up her dog from the groomer, which was a 45 minute drive away. She should have coordinated the grooming appointment or the pick up time to work properly with when rehearsal was. Rehearsal was at 4 PM and she needed to pick her dog up by five. Rehearsals take at least half an hour and the rehearsal needs to include everybody in the wedding so that everyone knows where to stand,what to do ,and how the whole process is going to go- especially since every venue and every wedding is different.If just the bride needed to run through the rehearsal, then there wouldn’t be a rehearsal in general because the bride is already doing all the planning and coordinating for the day anyway. Kristen also then told the bride that she wouldn’t be able to show up the day of the wedding until her dog sitter came. Although this might be a valid point, that’s not really the brides concern, and mostly came off as if she wasn’t going to be there on time and wasn’t prepared to actually be there when she needed to be there on the day of the wedding. Having a dog sitter and having the sitter show up at the right time so you can be at the venue when needed is a behind the scenes detail that doesn’t need to be shared. About five minutes into rehearsal starting and while the officiant was talking to the bride and groom, Kristen looked at me and said “you got this right? I have to leave” and then left without saying goodbye to the bride and groom or asking if there was anything else needed. On the day of, she completely ruined a surprise for the groom by announcing it, and talking about it literally right in front of the groom before he was supposed to know about it. The mother of the bride and a sister in law had to pick up her slack on more than a few occasions during the reception, which defeats the purpose of having her. Family of wedding party should not have to be pouring water and champagne. And while that might not be Kristen’s exact job either, she should have delegated that task to someone who is supposed to do it. But the thing that really got me the most was that Kristen decided that a great time to talk to the bride about a change in the timeline was during the middle of the father of the bride speech. I know things have to change and the concern was about losing sun for sunset pictures. But really? Tapping the bride on the shoulder as her father is making eye contact with her and basically talking to her during his speech? Worst timing ever and completely took away from the moment for the father and bride. She was rude to one of the other vendors and told them that she was “so over this wedding” and then left in such a hurry that she was not mindful of guests while driving off in the parking lot. This was just the few things I witnessed and can account for. It was not professional at all and honestly made the wedding a lot more stressful than it needed to be.
