Kristine Smith Designs was a dream to work for our destination wedding in San Diego, CA. My husband and I live in NYC, so planning an out-of-state wedding was particularly challenging for us. However, after hiring Kristine to be our month of and day of wedding planner, I immediately felt the weight of stress lift from my shoulders. From the very first interaction, Kristine's communication was professional, quick, and crystal clear. As an experienced and knowledgeable planner, she expertly guided us through the last month of planning process, managing all the final logistics and details seamlessly. Kristine saved the day more than once, but one standout moment was on the wedding day itself—when a few key items were missing from the floral delivery, she jumped into action and quickly DIY’d beautiful boutonnières and corsages on the spot to make sure our wedding party was complete. Kristine truly made our wedding day stress-free, and I couldn't recommend her and her team more highly.

Kristine Smith Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, Kristine's communication style was straightforward about what to expect, quick in response time, and genuinely comforting. She checked in on us emotionally and made sure to keep us in check when it came to getting our weekly homework done. We are both very busy attorneys, so it was comforting to know that Kristine would gently nudge us and remind us of the immediate tasks that needed to get done. Her team's dedication, attention to detail, and invaluable expertise made them an indispensable part of our special day. We went into our wedding day expecting something to go wrong, as that is what everyone told us to expect when planning a wedding, but Kristine made our day flawless. Not a single detail was overlooked, and Kristine captured our vision perfectly, right down to the lovely woven baskets that held the flowers down the aisle. Kristine also helped us start preparing for the wedding 16 months in advance, so that by the time we were 2-3 weeks away, there was barely anything left to do. I felt so calm and confident the whole time, knowing Kristine and her team had everything under control. Kristine also did our flowers, which was perfect because as our planner, Kristine understood exactly what our vision was! We are so grateful for their incredible service and would highly recommend Kristine Smith Designs to any couple planning their wedding. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her!

I cannot recommend Kristine enough! When my wedding venue was unexpectedly ruined just weeks before my wedding, she truly saved the day. Her professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made a stressful situation so much more manageable. She worked quickly to help me find new venues and her expertise was invaluable throughout the process. She also communicated with me every step of the way! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows this industry very well, look no further!

Kristine and her team were so kind and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. They worked with my now-husband and I through every step of the way which allowed us to relax and enjoy a very special period of time and a very special day. They were flexible and accommodating and supportive. I am so thankful for the way in which the KSD team brought my dream wedding to life!

From the initial outreach to the conclusion of the wedding, Kristine was an excellent communicator. She listened to our needs and wants, and made it a priority to deliver for us. True story, literally seconds after browsing her website, she sent a message to me and we ended up jumping on a call late on a Sunday evening. Her initial responsiveness was impressive, but continued with that same level of dedication throughout our planning process. She went the extra mile to create a truly memorable wedding day for us. Not only did she craft a stunning floral arrangement, but she also played a pivotal role in shaping the overall aesthetic of our ceremony. Going above and beyond, she took it upon herself to secure the necessary chairs and personally ensure their delivery. Furthermore, her recommendations for hair, makeup, and a wedding cake were of the highest quality. While we anticipated the challenges of planning a destination micro-wedding, meeting her assured us that we were in capable hands. When we first determined that we wanted a destination wedding, we knew that we would need assistance coordinating major and minor details from thousands of miles away. Kristine simplified everything for us, and we literally could not have done this without her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Kristine! We highly recommend her for any of your wedding needs (destination or local).
