Hands-down, the best wedding coordinator!

I booked Crystal two months before my wedding. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t need help tying everything together or having someone there on the day of, but as my wedding day approached, I found myself increasingly stressed about handling various details. My family, in hindsight, wasn't much help either. After searching online for reviews and recommendations for day-of coordinators, I found Crystal through a comment on one of my Facebook posts. I looked her up, gave her a call, and I'm so glad I did. She was incredibly reassuring, answering all my questions with expertise and positivity.

What I loved most was her honesty and transparency—she made it clear that while no wedding is perfect and things might go wrong, she would be there to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Her realistic and upfront approach was exactly what I needed. Additionally, I have a tough crowd of family and friends that are difficult to wrangle, and I knew I needed someone who could be my voice, my strength, and my structure. I didn’t want to have to yell at people to get in line for photos or constantly worry about where my mom or dad were. That was my biggest stress, and I wanted someone else to handle the dirty work for me. Crystal did just that, allowing me to enjoy my day without any added pressure.

Crystal did anything and everything I asked of her. Her communication was top-notch. While some people might say she sometimes didn't write back for a week, I understood she had other clients to deal with as well. I took a realistic approach to all my vendors, treating them as professionals with businesses to run, and not expecting 24/7 availability. Crystal was always there to answer my questions and reassure me. She was quick to come up with ideas and solutions when I hit roadblocks.

One of the things I really enjoyed about her month-of service was her availability via text, call, and email. She was always so helpful, providing ideas and suggestions I hadn't thought of. On the day of the wedding, she proved herself invaluable. My makeup artist was 45 minutes late due to an accident on the freeway, some family members were threatening to show up uninvited, friends who RSVPed didn't show, and one bridesmaid decided to be a no-show. Crystal managed everything with grace and efficiency, making sure the day went as smoothly as possible despite these challenges.

The wedding day had a few hiccups. Our caterer, despite a rigorous interview process, didn’t meet expectations. There were mishaps with the food, including wrong items for guests with dietary restrictions, which was very frustrating. However, Crystal handled it fluently and ensured we were taken care of. She was constantly checking in with my parents and in-laws, making sure they were comfortable and had everything they needed. She went above and beyond, never once appearing stressed. She was quick to fix any issues that arose, always knowing exactly what to do. I never had to worry that things were going crazy—she would handle it and return with everything in order.

I highly recommend Crystal. She is amazing, loving, caring, kind, fun, and spunky. She has that "mean girl" vibe when necessary, demanding the best from vendors and not taking anyone's crap. When some guests drank too much, she handled it discreetly and efficiently. She was there every step of the way, and I will continue to recommend her to everyone I meet who needs a wedding coordinator. Even other vendors commented on how incredible she was, saying she was one of the best coordinators they had ever worked with. Crystal has a true passion for her work, knows exactly what she’s doing, and has a great time doing it. I wanted my vendors to feel like part of the day, not like strangers, and Crystal made that happen beautifully.

Simply Amazing!

I knew right away after talking to Crystal she was the one who I wanted to help navigate the crazyness of my wedding day . My wedding was 03/ 12/2022 . She was so personable and pleasant and had such a cheerful demeanor about her . Everyone that was at my wedding loved her . She was amazing and keeping things running smoothly, she made sure my bridal party was taken care of she made sure the parents were doing good. Durning the cocktail hour she grabbed a few plates and beers for all of us while we were taking pictures. She was always one step a head of what ever needed to be done and even my vendors were complimenting on how they liked working with her . I highly recommend her to everyone who needs a day of coordinator. Crystal won’t let you down !

Crystal was a life saver!

We hired Crystal for our backyard wedding. Because of Covid, our guestlist was cut in a quarter, and we waited until the last minute to plan/book anything. I left at noon to get ready to backyard with some tables. Crystal arrived at 1 with my husband directing the chaos. When I returned at 3, we had gorgeous wedding. Crystal made sure we ate dinner, everything went smoothly, food got served efficiently and with appropriate social distancing. She was a rockstar! I am a high stress lady, and I was able to sit back and enjoy my day while Crystal managed all the moving pieces. I cannot recommend her enough.
