Hiring Kristen made a HUGE difference in the quality of our yearly event. I was not sure that our company events would really receive that much value using a planner, but the results was amazing. She brings the entire level of the event up, it was well worth using her services and she really know how to plan plan parties and events.  The difference was a much better prepared and attended event, with my being more relaxed and available to entertain. Cannot recommend her enough She really is one of the top Chicago event planners I have worked with!

I will never forget how shocked I was when I walked into the room and saw how beautiful the space looked. I knew it would be gorgeous but I had no idea spectacular everything would look when it all came together. It was sleeting and snowing outside but inside the tent if felt like I had entered a different world. The lighting, arrangements, illumination on the ceiling and dance floor, with the birch trees and branches made me feel as if I was walking down a tree lined path with a full moon, on a snowy winter night. Words cannot express how grateful I am to you for turning my wedding day vision into reality. Thank you for all your help and guidance through out the past year. I am happy to be married but I already miss my meetings with you!
– Rhea & Max

Thank you so much for helping to plan our wedding day and make it so special. We could not have done it without you.

Our wedding party also enjoyed working with you and thank you for all the little extra thing you and Jenny did to help throughout the day.
– Vicky and Ed

Thank you so much for all your guidance throughout the planning process. Our flowers were so striking and beautiful and really transformed the reception hall.

Even my sister who was a part of the wedding party said that you knew just what to say and do to make the whole picture taking process (and keeping our flower girls entertained and smiling for the pictures)!

Selecting a coordinator to plan such an important day can be daunting. However, with Kristen, we were reassured that she could take our thoughts and ideas and turn them into reality. Using her resourcefulness and efficient vision nothing could, or did go wrong. She was outstanding. She arranged everything from the flowers and photography to hair and dress and tuxedo fittings. Thanks to her careful planning and advice, we had our picture perfect wedding. Our wedding was a memorable and cherished day for us and our family and friends and we are so pleased that we chose Kristen to help make it happen.
