Backyard Party Huge Success thanks to Kristin and John!

Kristin and John created the perfect atmosphere for our recent house party. From A to Z throughout the planning process they both were detail oriented, patient and easy to talk to and communicate with. My wife and I were reassured daily that we had the right people in our corner for planning this event. We will definitely be using their services again in the future!

Party Planning Done Right!!!

Kristin and John helped us plan a party for over 100 guests. This was a huge undertaking but they were amazing from start to finish. I have gotten so much positive feedback from guests- everything turned out fantastic. I highly recommend them for your party or wedding needs!!!

Great Planner

I have worked with Kristin, Gibson, and the team before for my wedding, and liked them so much that I engaged the team again to plan for my husband's surprise birthday party. Gibson was helpful in the planning process, and absolutely instrumental for the day-of items. She purchased and brought decorations to the venue, set everything up, and organized the guests while I lured the unsuspecting birthday boy to the venue. He was very surprised and had the best time!

Amazing - must hire!!

There really isn’t enough that I can say about Kristin and her team. They made the day perfect and a total dream. I can’t recommend them enough for every event especially weddings. I really don’t know how we would have survived without them!

AMAZING!

Priceless! Kristin and her team alleviated any and all stresses I had for my wedding day which allowed me to just enjoy every moment of my day. From setting up initial appointments, to making recommendations and contacting possible vendors, to easing my worry, to planning and executing the timeline of events, Kristin and her team were one of the best decisions we made! We were so blessed to work with this team of people who truly love what they do!

On the day of our wedding, as the bride, I was unaware of any hiccup or bumps in the road. Kristin and her team were on top of everything and no detail went unnoticed! She maintained our timeline throughout the day starting with the hair appointments all the way through breaking down the tables at the end of the night. They were there every step of the way!

For me, a huge part of this day was making little details happen- the biggest one being surprising my husband with his wedding gift. Kristin and her team took control and got everything in place without anyone noticing allowing this surprise to unravel seamlessly! This was one of many priceless moments Kristin and her team helped ensure was so special!

In planning our wedding, we did not have a very large budget to work with, nor did we have much wiggle room. If you are considering hiring Kristin and her team, my husband and I would tell you, with out a doubt, they were worth every penny! Even our families complimented their passion, professionalism, efficiency and attention to detail. We highly recommend her and her team when planning your special day!
