What Our Clients Say
Bre F.
Thoughtful & Organized!
We started working with Kristine over a year before our wedding, and it was such a relief to have everything planned and organized well ahead of time. This allowed me to focus on work and truly enjoy all the fun aspects of the wedding festivities. Kristine was incredibly supportive, especially when I went over my initial budget, offering creative alternatives that made everything work. She was also thoughtful, providing cute umbrellas for our guests and even gifting us our wedding cake—a gesture we deeply appreciated!! I highly recommend Kristine - her help was invaluable in making our day perfect!
