    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.

    Our dream wedding came true with Crystal and her staff! Our guests kept telling us that it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and so much of that was due to the help of Crystal's Elegant Affairs wedding coordination. Our wedding was such a blast!

    Effective, capable, efficient, simply the best!!!! Crystal was a wonderful day-of-coordinator. She knew every detail of the wedding day (had me complete a packet itemizing the details of my wedding so that nothing would be missed) and followed through on everything she promised. I worried about "nothing" on my wedding day!!!! Most brides can't say this, but with Crystal in charge you absolutely will enjoy your day!!!!

    Thank You,
    Tiffany

    I had a horrible wedding planner at first, I hired Crystal and she organized every aspect of my wedding. When my high heels got uncomfortable during pictures she gave me her shoes. She is very friendly and professional.

    Weddings sure are stressful....thought that I would for sure lose my mind. Crystal is definitely one of the BEST wedding coordinators out there. If I would have had my way...she would have done all the planning for me. She is one of a kind and made my special day even better. Brides....be smart and invest in a wedding coordinator for the full service not just day of. It is worth it. Crystal is fabulous.

    Sincerely,
    Jessica Scheller

    Crystal made my daughter, Jessica, a wonderful wedding to remember. She was always by Jessica's side. If a question needed answered, she knew the answer, and if something needed done, it got done. The people that she works with, photographers, caterers, etc. are professional and easy to work with. Only tears of happiness were present at Jessica's wedding. Crystal knows how to get it done and get it done right!

    Im consider myself detail oriented and pride myself on my ability to plan (after all I am a teacher, I plan on a daily basis!) and I originally thought I could handle all the wedding planning on my own. As it got closer to the date, I started to panic, and had nightmares of things going wrong. Thankfully, I soon meet Crystal and I am so glad I did, I felt so much better afterwards. After meeting with her at a Starbucks, we hit it right off and signed the contract for a Day of Coordinator on the spot. Thereafter she would check in with me weekly, keeping things in order and making sure nothing was forgotten. I was amazed with all the things Crystal did, I thought day of coordination just dealt with the day of. Instead, I felt she was always communicating with me. Out of ALL the vendors I dealt with, Crystal was always prompt to respond back within a few hours, not days like others. It was her reliability that made me feel at ease throughout the wedding planning.

    Crystal dealt with an unresponsive florist the day before the wedding. Had she not dealt with them I think I would have gone crazy! It was a relief having her handle the last minute details. I think I would have turned into a bridezilla without her.

    On the day of the wedding, I forgot the escort cards! My venue had changed the seating layout without informing me, so I had to redo the escort cards. I had forgotten the new cards that were made at home the day of the wedding. Quickly I informed Crystal and she devised a plan to get the people where we wanted them to sit. Having her the day of the wedding made things so much better for us. We felt more calm knowing she was handling everything, and she did a good job of it! She fixed the escort card mess and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time through out the day.

    Crystal made our day. I cannot emphasize what a great help she was and how much it meant to have her there that day. We were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to her. Im so glad I was able to count on her.

    If you're like me, and think you can handle it all on your own, think again. You never know what will go wrong the day of and it is such a relief to have a professional like Crystal making sure your vision turns into reality.

    Cheers to Crystal

    Crystal always responded to my needs and listened to what I had to say without imposing her ideas. A good wedding planner knows when and how to respond to a bride, like myself, who works on a budget and has all of the wedding plans in her head. That's a tough feat, so good job Crystal! I recommend her for your next wedding.

    Crystal's Elegant Affairs's reply:

    Thank you ! It was such an honor and a pleasure to work with such an amazing couple. The wedding was so beautiful and the bride and groom looked awesome. I wish you both many happy years to come.

    I hired Crystal for my August 2011 wedding. I didn't plan on having a day-of-coordinator but I am soooo beyond glad that I did. I did not want to have to worry about anything but enjoying our wedding day and Crystal was always by my side to help with anything I needed so I had no worries that day. She was extremely helpful and stuck around all night to ensure everything went well. She also had great prices! I would highly recommend her. She's awesome! :)

    Crystal and her assistant, Brittany did a great job on our wedding day! I only used her for Day of Services, but she was great! In the months leading up to the wedding, she was available to answer any questions I had and go over anything I needed help with. On the day of our wedding, I didn't see her that much, but I'm sure she was off doing her thing. Crystal got on the floor to put my sandals on after the ceremony & pictures and she and Brittany both had gone around looking for our cutting plate that someone had taken before we even got to cut the cake. I thought I would be able to do the day with out a coordinator, but now I know it is a MUST for at least a Day of person!
