Putting the action behind all of those thoughtful touches
What working with Weddings by Kristy is like
Who would have thought a simple wedding could be so dang time consuming?
You like romance. Simplicity. Creating a guest experience that lets people enjoy the day. You don’t need over-top-decor or a feature in The Knot. And even though you’re pretty clear on the type of day you want, this planning process is stressing you out.
You want someone to take the reins. Show you how to make those quirky elements you’re craving actually come to life. A sounding board to help you sort out which traditions you’ll keep and which you’ll toss into the ‘1800s’ trash.
Because if there’s good food, a lot of laughter, and some thoughtful touches– your perfect wedding is achieved.
A wedding planner who feels like an ally
When you work with us, we stand by you and your vision from the first phone call. That means, you can expect:
– Confidence throughout the planning process that someone has your back and will make this thing happen
– Full relaxation, knowing the stressful part of coordinating everything is totally off of your plate
– A friend who wants to celebrate your unique love story with you
The logistics are in capable hands. Go grab a cupcake and get your dance on.
Think of us as your ghostwriters. We’re behind your wedding story, helping you tell it in detail. Making sure nothing is missed or twisted. Giving you everything you need to tie the knot on your terms. And in the end, it’s your names in the byline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We're willing to travel anywhere in the US and abroad. Estimated travel costs will be included in your proposal after our consultation call.
These terms are often used interchangeably; however, we distinguish them as Planning is the work done before the wedding to secure all the necessary parts such as venue, vendors, decor, attire, etc.
Coordination is the execution of those plans and making sure everything flows smoothly. When thorough planning meets well-executed coordination? That’s when the magic happens!
Typically, a venue coordinator is responsible for overseeing the set-up, food and beverage, and logistics as it relates directly to the venue. An outside wedding coordinator will coordinate and manage ALL logistics and design details with your entire wedding team. A great wedding coordinator will not only make your life easier and stress-free when it comes to your wedding day but will also streamline and simplify the jobs of the entire vendor team (including the venue coordinator!). This allows each vendor to bring their A-game to the wedding and results in a positive experience for everyone.
Yes! Our day-of coordination services are what we simply call our Coordination Only Package. “Day-of coordination” is a bit of a misnomer, as no good coordinator will only work day-of. There is a lot of pre-work that goes into making your day run smoothly and effortlessly.
Yes! We have a business license and liability insurance, which we can provide to venues as needed.
No, we do not. We will help place items rented from us and DIY items such as your guest book, card box, and signs, but we do not set up or take down chairs, tables, linens, arches, etc. These services are typically offered by your venue, caterers, or rental company.
Yes! We’re an LGBTQ-owned business and over 20% of our couples identity as LGBTQ+. Inclusivity is one our core values and we pride ourselves on our assumption-free approach to planning and work with couples regardless of their race, religion, sexuality, or gender.
Are you a nice person? Then we’d love to help you plan your wedding!
Absolutely! Planning a wedding from afar can be tough for couples and we're happy to help.
Coordination-only typically starts around $2,500 and planning packages range from $4,000 - $10,000+. This number is largely determined by guest count and venue location.
Custom packages are available and may cost less for occasions like elopements, micro weddings, or non-wedding events.
As long as we have availability you can still book us for coordination services.
It depends! Typically, we arrive 2-4 hours before the ceremony, and we stay until tear down is done.
