“My favorite part about working with them: when it came down to the day of my wedding, we had a decent chance of rain for our outdoor ceremony. We had expressed to Angela how much we wanted to try and push for an outdoor ceremony if there was a non-zero chance it could work out. So the day of, she was able to get permission from the venue to have Plan A and Plan B ceremony seating set up at the same time.”

“I really appreciated that she made the call [to have the ceremony outside] and knew what my husband and I really wanted and knew how much it meant to us. It's very easy for people to say no, and she would have had every right to in this situation, so I will always remember the generosity and proactiveness of WBK and all our vendors that day.”

“They seem to all have a good dynamic and never once did it seem like they were exhausted or overwhelmed, whether it was leading up to the wedding, any of the changes my husband and I requested in logistics, in any of our virtual meetings, or on the day of with our rain plans.”

“Booking Weddings by Kristy was the best choice we made when planning our wedding! We used the coordinating service and both Kristy and Angela were so thorough and knowledgeable we really felt like we were in good hands.”

“It rained the entire day of the wedding and Kristy handled the pivot to an indoor ceremony so gracefully it felt like that was the plan all along. I genuinely do not know if the wedding would have happened without them! Would highly recommend!”

“Choosing to hire WBK was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Kristy was extremely knowledgeable and always knew what questions to ask when we had no idea what we were doing.”

“Having someone take over a lot of the coordination closer to our wedding day allowed us time to live our lives in the months leading up. We recommend her to everyone we know who's recently gotten engaged.”

“We love how intentional WBK was in spotlighting LGBTQIA couples in her marketing and resources.”

“From the start, WBK was organized, experienced, and easy to communicate with. Kristy, Destiny, and the team were incredibly helpful in the months leading up to the wedding and especially on the day-of.”

“They answered every question, guided us through the process, and handled the timeline and vendors seamlessly. They worked so well with our families and friends (including all the fun personalities we had on board), and truly made the day easier and more enjoyable. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend them!”

“We’ve said it many times during the wedding planning process and we’ll continue to shout it to the hills: hiring Kristy and her team was the best decision we’ve ever made and the best money we’ve ever spent. From the consultation and throughout the entire process, Kristy was lovely to work with and incredibly friendly and personal, but also always on top of everything. She flagged so many little details that we never would have thought of but led to a much smoother wedding day.”

“The timeline she created for us was a work of art and a thing of beauty and something I could have never done on my own. She included every single facet of the event from load in and load out for every vendor down to when we needed to bring our checkbook. Handing communications with vendors to her team in the last few months was amazing and definitely reduced our stress levels.”

“As a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, Kristy and her team made us feel welcomed and affirmed for the entire process while vetting vendors to make sure they were LGBT friendly and listing our (and our wedding party’s) pronouns on resource sheets.”

“As a very anxious and “type A” person, I fully trusted Kristy and her team throughout the process which was wonderful for my sanity. I was able to offload all the thinking and logistics onto her and her team and be much more present at my wedding with my now wife and friends and family.”

“By far the best investment we made in our wedding was booking Weddings by Kristy. Kristy and the team were always super responsive and got back to us so quickly on any questions or reservations we had.”

“We decided to go with WBK because of the great reviews, the impressive portfolio on the website, and because Kristy put us at ease in our initial interview. Neither of us had even attended a lot of other weddings and didn't really know what to expect, so Kristy's experience and familiarity with vendors in the area definitely allowed us to put our trust and confidence in the team.”

“Our wedding was absolutely perfect in every way, and a huge part of that was thanks to Kristy. We can't thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.”

“From our very first meeting, Kristy radiated warmth and preparedness. She listened as we shared our vision and over the next few months, ensured all the details were sorted to make it a reality.”

“On wedding day itself, it was so helpful to have Kristy managing our 10+ vendors and decor setup and breakdown so we (and our families) could just enjoy the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Weddings By Kristy!”

“My spouse and I had a great experience working with the Weddings by Kristy team. We booked their coordination services but we felt like we got so much more for the cost. We especially appreciated their vendor recommendations, consults, good advice, and smooth work running our event day-of. We highly recommend their services!”

"We couldn’t recommend Weddings by Kristy enough! She was incredibly responsive, organized, and communicative. She stayed on top of every detail to make sure nothing fell through the cracks, and she had a wealth of resources related to every aspect of wedding planning."

" From our first meeting to the venue walkthrough to our wedding day, we trusted Kristy to ask the right questions and take care of logistics that wouldn’t have crossed our minds. We are so grateful for her thoughtful planning and for being such a joy to work with!"

" She and her team did an amazing job on the day of our wedding, which made us feel at ease and allowed us to stay in the present moment and enjoy the day. She’s also very LGBTQ+ friendly, which was critical for us. Thanks so much, Kristy!"

"Having Kristy’s help leading up to, and especially on the day of our wedding, was absolutely invaluable. Her entire team was so kind and professional and truly wonderful to us and all of our guests. There were a million and one things I would not have thought about in the planning process that Kristy made sure we covered."

"She took over communication with all my vendors close to the big day which was so helpful as things started getting stressful. Her attention to detail and preparedness was out of this world. All of my bridesmaids loved her because she was professional and helpful, offering guidance where we needed it but not in a pushy way. If there is one thing you need to set money aside for when budgeting your wedding, it is absolutely Kristy’s services."

"The timeline you set up was so helpful and your expertise in some areas where we had a hard time making decisions was invaluable. My bridal party loved you and said you were amazing- detail oriented, thorough, but kind and not pushy. "

"We decided to contact Kristy because she was openly LGBTQ friendly. In our meet and greet Kristy was clearly prepared and led the conversation. She also had a range of planning options to meet different budgets and levels of support. She mentioned that we should feel like a guest at our wedding and that really stuck with us."

"Kristy is very organized, easy to work with, and fun to talk to. She was never judgmental, even when we needed to take extra time to make decisions. She gave us simple to do lists throughout the planning time that kept us from falling too far behind."

"If we hadn’t had Kristy’s help, we would have been way behind, way more stressed, and probably wouldn’t have been able to book with most of the vendors we had because we would have waited too long to book them."

"Kristy was a dream to have as our day-of-coordinator! We connected with her about six months out from our wedding (we only had an eight-month engagement) and we immediately hit it off. She is a true professional who really knows her stuff and we immediately felt comfortable with her from the beginning."

"She was very approachable and LGBTQ friendly (a must-have for us as we are a queer couple. When it came to the planning process, I was very impressed with the amount of experience she has and all of the templates, and resources she had created and shared with us, from budgets, timelines, to samples ceremony scripts, and language for invitations, and so much more."

"Overall, Kristy and Jacob really went above and beyond in so many ways in the planning process and during the wedding and we remain grateful to them for making our day so special. Their energy truly matched ours and it was a fun time working together."

"[Our favorite part of working with you was] how much more at ease you made us feel about the process overall. It was already hugely stressful, so we cannot imagine how much worse it would have been without you. Also, your attention to detail and knowledge of all the steps needed in the planning process was great."

"Overall, our day was amazing and it would not have happened to this degree without you. We are extremely grateful to all that you did to make this process easier, more fun, and to bring our vision to life."

"Highly recommend! Kristy was incredibly kind and easy to work with. She was always very responsive and thoroughly answered our MANY questions."

"Weddings by Kristy provides a wealth of resources to assist with your planning and organization and ensures no single detail is missed."

"It was very easy to enjoy ourselves on our wedding day and let things go because we knew Kristy had it covered. Kristy exceeded our wedding planning expectations."

"Talking to guests and vendors at and after our wedding, they have said the same thing; Kristy is/was amazing! So many people commented on how efficiently our wedding was run and how they knew exactly who to turn to if they had questions."

"Kristy and Jacob also did a fantastic job with set up and breakdown as we had very strict timeline for post reception. Kristy managed to start cleaning up the many many items (decorations, presents, guest sign in, etc.) prior to the end of the wedding and was so discreet about it that by the time the lights came on most of it was ready to put directly into our waiting cars."

"Marisa is very detailed oriented and to be honest, it takes a lot for her to give up complete control. However, we were in such good hands with Kristy that it allowed both of us to be in the moment rather than worried about the details day of."

"I have worked in and around events and productions and I don't think I have ever come across someone so organized, prepared and professional."

"She was the best investment for our wedding I could have ever imagined. There were plenty of people that offered the same service and wanted 5x Kristy's rate but there is no way they could have done a better job."

"Kristy's friendly and warm personality made the entire experience delightful. She treated us like friends, genuinely caring about our happiness."

"Additionally, Kristy's rental service proved to be a game-changer. Being able to rent items from her inventory made the planning process much more convenient and affordable."

"Her exceptional communication skills and attentiveness made planning effortless. She listened to our vision, offered valuable guidance, and ensured that every detail reflected our envisioned style. We would definitely recommend!"
