Weddings and Events by Kristin

Kristin and her team were out of this world amazing! They made sure the day went perfectly smooth and their attitudes were so amazing throughout the whole process and day and went above and beyond me, the groom, and our families/wedding party. I couldn’t not have picked a better team. I created a special bond with them separate from business and I will forever have a special place in my heart for them. Totally obsessed!! More...

Kristin and her team made our event go seamlessly. Everyone we worked with were professional, friendly, and communicated well. During the week leading up to our event, we didn’t feel like we had to worry at all because Kristin and everyone else had it covered. Would definitely recommend! More...

Kristin and team are absolutely incredible wedding planners. My mom and I tried to plan the wedding on our own and realized a few months before that we really needed help. We feel incredibly lucky that Kristin and team were available. They were everything we had hoped for and more. We could not have made the wedding what it was without them. Leading up to the wedding, they were hands down most responsive team I've ever worked with - week days, weekends, evenings, you name it they were there. Their response speed was unparalleled. When other vendors took weeks to respond, Kristin and team responded in hours, sometimes minutes. Unlike many other vendors, they always made us feel like our questions and concerns were valid and important. They also handled so many last minute issues for us - from inclement weather that caused us to move the ceremony from outside to inside to an insurance mixup with vendors - to ensure that our day ran smoothly. They also went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. They made sure we had food and drink while we were taking photos, they brought our wedding arch out to the reception so we could walk under it when we did our introductions. They kept everyone calm the day of when things got chaotic, and made sure that we had a great time regardless of what happened. My family and I were able to have a blast at the wedding knowing that we had Kristin and team at our side. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Kristin and team! They are not only amazing at what they do, but incredibly kind and thoughtful people. You will not be disappointed if you choose this planning team! More...

I hired Kristin as a day of coordinator and partial planning and I'm so glad I did. Kristin and her team were incredible from the first phone call. Everyone was so easy to talk to and I felt comfortable with them all immediately. I can't recommend Kristin enough, if you're questioning hiring then just do it! Our wedding day was darn near perfect because of them. More...

Hiring Events by Kristin is the best money I spent for my daughter's wedding. Upon looking for a planner Kristin is the first person I talked to I knew after the first conversation that my search was over. The week before my daughter's wedding Kristin and John got covid. She assured me that everything would run smoothly and that she had experienced backups. She was definitely right. Kristin and John worked hard from there homes since they had covid. Not even covid stopped them. Kristin and John were not contagious any longer so they did show up to the event to make sure everything was going smoothly Alan was at the rehearsal and also at the church the day of the wedding. He was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. When Kristin and John left the wedding, Alan with the help of Karen did an outstanding job. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND Events by Kristen for your wedding. More...

We cannot begin to explain what this team did for our wedding. They truly made it the best experience ever. We had a large wedding with a lot of moving parts. Kristin, John and the team made it the most special day ever. We consider them now part of our family and know we could not have had the most perfect day without them. They will respond to every question, concern or idea with thoughtfulness and expertise. When you have to trust someone on your wedding day - these are the people. More...

To the fiancés with future husbands who are not convinced a wedding coordinator is required,

Just show them this review on how Kristin, Gibson, John and Kristin killed it and saved our day -


Our cater served caramelized nuts at wedding knowing we had significant nut allergies…Gibson was the first to identify the nuts and immediately having the salads removed and replaced.
Of course, I ripped my tuxedo pants within 5 minutes of dancing…. Gibson, my future mother in law and 50 safety pins saved the day. She also went back to the hotel to get my backup pair.
When myself, groomzilla, wanted a night-time photo underneath an old tree near the venue… Gibson was there holding flashlights from 3 cellphones for perfect lighting.
We never went hungry or thirsty… John and Gibson got the bridal party appetizers before the ceremony and made sure we had drinks all night long!

Overall, all the big and little things were taken care of to make one of the chilliest, smoothest, and most memorable days of our lives!

Cheers,
Anthony Isherwood

PS: You are going to need Kristin, Gibson, and team at your wedding.

Going into wedding planning I thought I was extremely organized and prepared for whatever the day may throw me. Boy was i wrong. Kristin & her team were a necessity to our big day! She ensured the day was seamless and perfect in every way possible. Through out every conversation we had with our caterer we stressed that we needed the venue to be nut free due to the amount of nut allergies we had present at our reception. Low and behold there were walnuts in each of the salads. Kristin & Gibson swooped in to have this immediately fixed so that my self and my now husband didn't even notice. They addressed it with the caterer to ensure none of the remaining courses would contain nuts. As the dancing begun my husband ripped his tuxedo pants completely. Gibson immediately drove to the hotel to pick up a spare pair and repaired the ones he was wearing with approximately 50 safety pins. This job is not for the weak, and I can assure you Kristin & Gibson are truly the best. The cherry to the sundae was when my husband wanted a specific night photo which required spot lights, which our photographer did not have. Gibson stepped in and held 3 phone flashlights to make his dream photo a reality. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for this team. I recommend Events by Kristin to each and every Chicago-land bride. More...

Words can’t describe how awesome this team is. I appreciate each and everyone on Kristin’s team for not only making our day perfect but being a shoulder to lean on even before the wedding day. My husband being diabetic needed to stay hydrated and they made sure he got his cranberry juice consistently! My venue was giving us a hard time about lemonade and Kristin and team without hesitation said “that’s all you want that’s easy we got you” they made my day with chick fil-a lemonade!!! My decorations were mainly made at home by my mother and they made sure to put everything up where I wanted and followed my exactly perfectly. If you need referrals for vendors they have you covered, contact your vendors, understand your wedding vision and help you carry it out, do you need your dress bustled no problem they got it covered, a shoulder to lean on when guest drive you nuts they got your back, RSVP’s not coming back on time they will make the calls for you to those late responders. I had customized coke bottles for every guest the team made sure those were put on the table! My day had craziness going on but the whole team made sure my husband and I didn’t see it or know about it. I couldn’t have gone through the day without them. When I say they have everything covered they do. This team will think of things you probably didn’t think was important and save you the hassle and frustration the day of. I appreciate them dearly and I consider them friends. I will definitely want their help with any other major events if they do them! More...

I am delighted to give Weddings and Events by Kristin my highest possible recommendation! 5 Stars isn’t enough to properly express the fantastic job that Kristin and her team did at my daughter’s wedding last weekend. We hired Kristin as soon as our daughter selected her date and venue, and she has been with us ever since with references to excellent vendors, timely advice, and planning. She and her lead assistant Gibson are enthusiastic and engaging, and bring great ideas for décor, timelines, etc. On the day of the wedding Kristin led a team of three of her staff taking care of everything imaginable – always one step ahead. Things went smoothly, even as we had to move the ceremony itself indoors due to rain, and they worked with the venue to still have cocktails outdoors immediately afterwards as the rain had stopped. The next day when we asked the new couple what some favorite memories of the day had been, one of them was the sense of confidence and calm that we all felt knowing that Kristin had everything under control. We were all happy and chill!

We need to mention Kristin’s great vendor recommendations: Bonita, the owner of Busy B’s Florals created arrangements that were even more beautiful than the pictures we had given her that were our inspiration, and better than anything we’d seen on Pinterest. The bridal bouquets were absolutely perfect, and our centerpieces of lanterns surrounded by greens and flowers were stunning. Our DJ, Rick was another fantastic recommendation. He was so personable and engaging, and knew how to read the crowd and keep people dancing. When the wedding ended at midnight nearly half of the guests were still there having fun! Another vendor recommended by Kristin was a graphic artist named Sara who created our invitations and day of event materials such as menus and place cards. Everything was unique and beautiful, and many guests commented on them.

I’m thrilled that we chose Kristin, and would recommend her highly to anyone!!! More...

If you are having doubts on whether or not you actually "need" this service the answer is YES! Turns out quite a few of my family members thought I was spending money needlessly on a day-of-coordinator and yet each one of them came up to me after the wedding to say how incredible Kristin and her team was! They help with so much more than I ever expected.

My entire day from start to finish ran so smoothly and if there were any hiccups I knew nothing about them which is exactly the point. Also I was happy in knowing that all of my family and friends could enjoy themselves without having to help me remember various things throughout the day. Give yourself the peace of mind and go with Kristin and her team. They are outgoing, reliable, organized and really fun to work with! More...

My wife and I were planning our wedding from across the country. We hired Kristin due to a referral and couldn't have been more happy with the results. Prior to the wedding, Kristin was able to refer quality wedding vendors that we were very happy with, including a florist and a DJ. On the day of the wedding, Kristin and her team helped make the whole day go off without a hitch. My wife and I had at least one staff member assigned to us at all times to make sure that the night was going smoothly, from scheduling to making sure that our drinks were full and that we received all of our hors d'oeuvres even though we were busy greeting the guests. A+! More...

I was about a month out from my bridal shower when I reached out to Kristin and her team for help. I was overwhelmed with making sure everything was done and perfect and did not want to be going through the same thing right before my wedding. Kristin and I spoke and she introduced me to Gibson. After taking to them both I already felt so much better so I decided to hire them on. We made a plan to meet and review where I was at and go over the wedding plans. I had already done almost everything. I just needed the reassurance that what I was doing would actually work. Did I have enough decor? Did my color scheme work? Was my dream enough to be a reality. I met with the ladies and they made me feel so much better about my big day! As time went on I started to question hiring them. It wasn’t a small amout of money and I had done almost all of the work myself. Then my wedding day came... I do not know what I would have done without Kristin, Gibson, Allen and Jessica. Every single time I turned one of them was right there next to me. Whether it was giving me water, directing us to the next thing on our timeline, making sure we were ok or just knowing what to do when things went wrong, they were perfect!!!! Oh, and if you need to bustle a dress - these are your girls!! I don’t know what we would have done without them. There are so many small hiccups that can happen, especially when having an event with 300 people. My day was made whole because of their professionalism and efficiency. If you want your wedding to be more than perfect, hire this team. More...

I was the maid of honor in my sister's wedding, and having Kristin and her team help us out was truly one of the best decisions we made! Everyone on her team is so genuinely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They put everyone at ease, and it was a relief to not have all of the coordinating responsibilities on our shoulders, especially on the actual day, so we could focus on enjoying the day. They are on top of everything, and while it seemed extravagant to us at first to hire a wedding planner, we actually saved money because Kristin has great connections and helped us find reasonable deals. She really works to make it the wedding YOU envision. She isn't controlling and doesn't interfere but is so responsive and is always helping to send you in the right direction. My sister (the bride) lived multiple states away during the planning, but that ended up being no problem with Kristin's assistance and the flexibility of all the lovely vendors she set us up with and their eagerness to make it work for us. I really can't say enough good things about Kristin, and she has hired a team that is just as wonderful as she is. They were so attentive both in the planning period leading up to the wedding and especially on the actual day. We are so grateful for how smoothly my sister's wedding went because of Kristin and her team. More...

Kristin was absolutely outstanding. We had over 230 people attend our wedding. Kristin was on top of her game from day one. She responded to every email quickly and laid out everything we ever could have possibly imagined. When my wife initially brought up the idea of a wedding planner, I was initially apprehensive about getting one. It turned out to be EASILY the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process. Kristin made sure everything was set up and the night moved fluidly. After dinner, everyone was having such a good time that our first dances got slightly delayed. Kristin made sure things got back on track and the night could not have been more perfect.

Kristin also comes with an army. We had no idea how amazing her staff would be. She handled the logistics for the entire day and made sure things moved smoothly. I don't know what we would have done without her. The day after the wedding, we slightly panicked because we thought my wife's necklace went missing. Of course, Kristin had it. My cousin split his pants after having fun on the dance floor. One of Kristin's employees literally sewed his pants in the bridal suite in the middle of the wedding.

Kristin's work is impeccable. There are not enough words to describe how important she was for our wedding. HIGHLY recommending her is a huge understatement. More...

I was a guest at a wedding last night. The bride and groom worked with Kristin to plan the wedding. The groom was initially unsure about hiring a wedding coordinator, but throughout their engagement I kept hearing from the him how much he liked working with Kristin. He repeatedly told me how absolutely helpful she was. And how much time it saved them to have someone to work with who knew what they were doing.

So as a someone who loves weddings and always wished she could be a wedding planner I was very eager to see Kristin in action. (By Kristin I mean her and her team) Let me tell you they did not disappoint!

Starting with the rehearsal they were the first ones there. And were ready to go! They helped with staging the wedding party for the processional and worked with the church staff. When the church staff had other ideas that were not in line with the bride and grooms, Kristin helped to see the bride and groom’s wishes be met and did so with grace. I even approached her at the rehearsal with a last minute favor for a surprise for a bridesmaid. Kristin did not know me and could have easily said no but she was very gracious and very willing to set up some special items at the bridesmaid’s seat at the reception.
The ceremony was perfect and Kristin and her team blended in perfectly. Arriving at the reception all of the couples individualized details were set up. The room look beautiful. Kristin and her team worked very hard throughout the night to ensure the bride and groom had everything they needed. They stayed until the very end to pack up and deliver gifts and other items back to the hotel where the wedding party were staying.

I chatted with several of the team throughout the night and each one was polite, professional, and fun. Overall from a guests perspective they blended in perfectly doing all the “behind the scenes” work that usually family/friends of the bride and groom are asked to do. There was a very organic flow to how they worked. I was truly amazed by them! I will definitely be recommending them to any and all future brides or grooms.

Oh and a perfect example of how they went above and beyond...one of the guests ripped his pants during the reception. I am not sure who on the team it was, but one of the team had him go into the bridal suite, then took his pants and sewed them for him. She gave him privacy and helped him keep his dignity. And this was a guest not part of the wedding party. So they are not only here from the bride and groom they are here for anyone.

I worked with Kristin and her team to help plan my son's wedding. We first connected nearly a year before the big day and Kristin was always responsive, positive and determined to make the wedding day a success! She helped us select vendors and let us bounce many different ideas off her.

EVERY member of the team was helpful, friendly and eager to help from the first day we connected. Kristin never said no to any assistance we needed. The wedding was on New Year's Eve and life does get crazy at that time of year! Kristin took on extra work from us even during the holidays and genuinely seemed fine to accept the added work during the holiday week. When the big day arrived, we were ALL completely calm and confident the day would come together beautifully and it did! As the mother of the groom I truly felt like a guest at the wedding. I had significant involvement with planning from the very beginning but on their wedding day, I did not worry about a thing!! Kristin handled absolutely EVERYTHING on the wedding day.

When the big day arrived, we were ALL completely calm and confident the day would come together beautifully and it did! As the mother of the groom I truly felt like a guest at the wedding. I had significant involvement with planning from the very beginning but on their wedding day, I did not worry about a thing!! Kristin handled absolutely EVERYTHING on the wedding day. I KNEW Kristin, Allen and their team had all the bases covered! I was confident that if anything unexpectedly occurred they would handle the situation. The evening was fabulous! Kristin was always professional and attentive. She also worked well with the vendors. She does a wonderful job with coordinating everyone and building relationships with the families and vendors. I'd highly recommend Kristin, Allen, Gibson and their entire team. You can feel confident they will make sure your event comes together fantastically! More...

I am a project manager by trade (control freak by nature) so planning the wedding was in my wheel house but I decided to hire a wedding planner for my wedding. Overall, I wanted to enjoy my day without worrying about making sure everything was set and running smoothly and I got so much more than that with Weddings and Events by Kristin. I met with Kristin almost two years before my wedding (we had a date change) and instantly felt comfortable with her company handling my day. I handled planning 90ish % of the wedding and worked with Kristin and Gibson (planner assigned to my wedding) for about 6 to 8 months prior to the wedding to pass along all the details. Both Kristin and Gibson were super responsive and ensured they understood my vision. As with all weddings, something will go wrong and with mine a bombed got dropped 3 days before my wedding (which was NYE) and my bartending company went out of business leaving me without booze, mixers, and bartenders. I immediately reached out and Kristin/Gibson were on it. Gibson called me within 5 minutes of me sending the email to assure me she had it all under control and she totally did. She had bartenders and booze taken care of within an hour of the scare leaving me to enjoy girl time with my mom and future MIL. GIbson even picked up the alcohol herself and brought it to the venue.

We had a non traditional wedding and the team was up for the challenge as there was a secret dress flip, saber of champagne bottle, walking down the aisle to Final Countdown. For a little more context we started with cocktails at 7:30pm, dinner at 8:30pm, then dancing, midnight toast (being NYE and all) and then had our ceremony at 12:05am, with more partying after the ceremony. Being the control freak I wasn't sure how I would handle the "big day" without knowing what was going on and come the day of, I didn't have a worry in the world as I knew the team was on it and would solve any other issues that would pop up. Knowing that everything was under control, I really enjoy a day with my girls having lunch, drinking bubbles, getting hair and make-up done and prepping for the party. Gibson and Veronica had everything ready to go when I arrived for the first look (prior to the guest arriving) and managing the whole evening with ease and poise. Both were super helpful, on top of everything, professional but made you so comfortable like you had known each other for years. My day was amazing and I would do it all over again but I attribute it to my amazing wedding planning team as without them, I would have went into the wedding weekend a hot mess and spent my night worrying about all the vendors, logistics, etc. I would use Weddings and Events by Kristin again and wish I could do it every year with them in the drivers seat.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to chat about further details of my experience with Weddings and Events by Kristin. More...

Kristin and her team made our wedding go so smoothly. We had quite a few vendors, and Kristin managed to take all the stress out of our hands, including when one of our vendors showed up an hour and a half late. If I were to do it over again, I would hire Kristin and her team at the beginning of our process as opposed to a day of coordinator. More...
