"Kristin made planning our wedding feel effortless."

She was incredibly attuned to our (unconventional) taste, and took the time to understand our vision. She helped bring our wedding to life in a way that felt authentic to us, and matched us with vendors who aligned perfectly with our style.

On the wedding day itself, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I had always been conditioned by friends and family that something always goes wrong at a wedding—but not at ours!

Beyond her professionalism, Kristin is so kind and genuine, and she truly cares about the people she works with. Throughout the entire process, we felt we were in such good hands. Even when we changed our minds or wanted to revisit decisions, she remained incredibly patient and supportive. She handled everything with grace and enthusiasm, never once making us feel rushed or pressured.

Working with her was one of the best decisions we made.

"She didn’t just plan our wedding, she cared about us, our vision, and every detail as if it were her own."

From the very first conversation, working with Kristin felt less like hiring a vendor and more like gaining a friend. Her organization, creativity, and calm confidence made the entire process seamless. She anticipated needs before we even knew we had them, handled challenges with grace, and created a day that was more beautiful and meaningful than we ever imagined. What sets her apart is the heart behind her work. She celebrates with you, supports you, and genuinely wants your marriage not just your wedding to start on the strongest foundation. Even after the big day, she has remained such a bright and steady presence in our lives. Our wedding day was flawless, joyful, and deeply personal because of her. If you want someone who will protect your peace, and make your vision come to life with excellence and heart, she is it. We are forever grateful.

"Not only is she a lovely human to work with, she knows the Dallas wedding industry like the back of her hand."

Kristin is the fairy godmother of bringing wedding dreams to life, and that’s exactly what she did for me. Not only is she a lovely human to work with, she knows the Dallas wedding industry like the back of her hand. Any desire or potential wish I had she was able to make it a reality. Planning a wedding during Covid was a stressful experience but Kristin was that ray of sunshine that helped ease that stress of accepting the things that couldn’t be changed and focusing on the things that could be by making the planning process as smooth as possible. She has excellent relationships with some of the best Dallas vendors so you do not feel short changed when it comes to options. In short, my wedding wouldn’t have been anything close to what it was without the flick of her magic wedding wand. My wedding was one of the best days of my life and I am forever grateful for Kristin and the hard work she did to make my day so special. She is truly a gem.

"We felt supported and understood the entire process and are forever grateful for her presence in our lives."

Kristin is an amazing hardworking woman! My family, my husband and I were all in love with how she made our dream wedding a reality. She did not miss a beat. She demonstrated an unwavering commitment to making our day perfect! And each vendor she recommended hit every detail I wanted. I had already used her for my Grandmother’s 80th formal birthday party at the Four Seasons (100 guests) and when that event was over I KNEW I needed her for my wedding at The Hall of Lights. (230 guests). For both events she went above and beyond! She literally gave me a stress free wedding. She took care of EVERYTHING! Beyond her professionalism, Kristin became a friend to us! Her warmth, kindness and genuine care for our happiness made all the difference. We felt supported and understood the entire process and are forever grateful for her presence in our lives. We love her and can’t wait to work with her on another event.

I could not say enough good things about our experience with Kristin!! Not only did she make our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined, but she made the process of planning it so fun and easy!! She has such a calming presence that made us at ease throughout the whole engagement season. She is professional but also SO fun to be with. She has such creative ideas and knows the business so well. We could not have asked for a better planner and are truly so so blessed that we found her. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
