    Kristy is AMAZING. I am the mother of the bride. She took my daughter's vision and made it happen beyond her expectations. No details was overlooked. For a carefree wedding you must hire Milestone Events by Kristy.

    Kristy was incredible. I spent about a year planning my wedding, and worked with Kristy for month-of coordination. Friends and colleagues commented on how calm I seemed in the month leading up to the wedding, and that is probably all due to Kristy and her team putting my groom and myself at ease. They picked up my vision easily and seamlessly, helping me with pieces I couldn't quite figure out. I had a bit of a unique wedding with an untraditional caterer who had never catered a wedding before, furniture rentals, a staffing company, and lots of other little pieces to coordinate - so my wedding was probably more work and more coordination than most. And since there were so many moving parts, I was very worried leading up to it how everything would work together. As the day got closer, and I sat in on calls with my vendors and Kristy/Danamarie, I realized very quickly that they had grasped the exact type of event I wanted, and they were going to pull it off. At some point, I completely stopped talking to my vendors and put the entire thing in their hands. I trusted them completely to make the right decisions, and I even knew there would be several decisions that would need to be made on site. This When I arrived at the venue and saw what my wedding looked like, those instincts proved to be right. Everything was beautiful, everything worked, there was enough food, the tables fit, it wasn't too crowded (all things I was nervous about leading up to the day) and this is mostly thanks to Kristy, Danamarie and the rest of their staff. They put so much time and effort into every aspect of our wedding day, and it truly was the most incredible night of our lives. I would recommend them to anyone having any type of event - this is truly the dream team to keep you stress free and allow you to enjoy yourselves on the day of your wedding!

    We hired Kristy and her team for out very large multi-cultural Chinese-American wedding over July 4th weekend. There were many moving parts and my wife and I were worried we would not be able to make it all work. We used her for Day of Coordination and it was worth every penny. When my wife's mom forgot the flowers she went back to my house and got them, when we needed to figure out how to get 280 menu cards, table runners, seating chart, and table numbers to the venue she picked them up and we didn't have to think anymore. There was a language barrier and they worked around it with out issue. I can not recommend her enough, from the very beginning on the phone she listened to what we needed and wanted for our day while many other coordinators we spoke to told us what they usually do. We didn't have a "usual" situation and we liked that she listened to us first then asked questions. I didn't want to hire a wedding coordinator but my wife made me and I am EXTREMELY glad we had Kristy and her Team come on board that day.

    Milestone Events By Kristy's reply:

    We had such a great time working together with you on your wedding. We especially loved to see the symbolic tea ceremony. Your family and bridal party were awesome!! I hope our paths will cross again! Thank you for your beautiful review always means so much when the groom is excited about our work!

    Kristy and her team were amazing. We used Milestone Events for the day of planning. Our day would not have been so smooth and great without them. They took care of all the details you don't have time for as a bride and groom. Very organized and will think of things you would otherwise forget. Highly recommend.

    Kristy is amazing! You should have hired her yesterday. She kept me and my entire family happy and at ease during all the planning and wedding. She most likely deserves a noble peace prize for this. And of course my wedding was so pretty!

    Kimberly Clapso & Justin McFadden
    Married May 22, 2010

    When my husband and I set our wedding date, we had decided to do the entire wedding planning and coordination ourselves. However, when we found out how stressful and time consuming the entire process was, we decided to employ Kristy's services (after extensive research and interviews).

    Within the first week, Kristy had sent over an itemized budget, list of local venues with prices, contact information for all vendors, as well as a ton of other information that we didn't even know that we needed. She found us a 5 star venue that we didn't even bother looking at because we assumed it was out of our price range, but they were running a special if you booked by the end of June 2009. It looked like we spent 2 or 3 times more money than we actually did. We literally could not have planned the wedding without her, she was amazing (even though our wedding was almost 2,000 miles from where she lives).

    The day of the wedding, we felt like guests in the best way imaginable. Neither of us had to lift so much as a finger (much less speak to a vendor). Everything was so perfectly smooth and organized. When we were getting quotes for wedding planners, Kristy was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than anyone else, so we assumed that we were "getting what we paid for", but it was quite the opposite. We felt a little guilty for all of the time and effort that she was putting into our wedding. I cannot have imagined our day going any better.

    There were 3 vendors at our wedding that I couldn't have done it without, and Kristy is at the top of that list. We are the people who always say that we are going to write a letter (either to complain or compliment), but we never do. However, we have never done anything with which the choice of vendors weighed so heavily on the outcome of the event. Getting married is the largest and single most special event that most people will ever experience in their lifetime, and the planner/coordinator is in charge of running it all. There was no one at our wedding more organized or caring than Kristy. I can confidently refer her to any new bride-to-be.

    Email me if you have any questions or would like referalls for any other vendors. Our photographer was referred to us from a couple that we met at a party, and he was amazing too! (EPProStudio.com) You can go to that website and see pictures from our big day!

    Sincerely,
    Kimberly McFadden

    My experience w/ Milestone events was amazing! Kristy was not only a sweetheart but professional, organized, detail-oriented, and supportive. Before meeting Kristy, I felt overwhelmed, and was unable to really enjoy the whole wedding process. Once I met Kristy, she was able to put me at ease and I knew things would work out. For example, I had seen these beautiful wedding invitation that were out of my budget ($5 over, per invite to be exact), and she was able to find exactly what I wanted for half the price! She really has been great to work w/, and I truly appreciate all she’s done to make my wedding experience wonderful! Thank you again to Milestone Events!

    Let me first start by saying planning a wedding can be a stressful time, especially if all the details are disorganized. The last thing any couple wants to do is haggle over particulars and obsess over details. And finding Kristy was a miracle come true. She is the type of wedding planner that can take care of any item, no matter how small. Since she knows the couple’s price range, she can weed out any vendor who doesn’t fall within the confines of the bride and groom’s budget. In addition, she'll know the happy couple’s likes and dislikes and will make sure even the most minor details are perfect.

    She also had a perfectly acceptable time line. Any newly engaged couple can be overwhelmed with thoughts of what to do first and how far in advance it should be handled. Since she’s done this many times before, she knows the proper sequence of events and how they should be handled.

    Any couple who is considering hiring a wedding planner should definitely consider the services by Milestones By Kristy. Her services were so extrordinary that my mom actually used her again for my baby shower. I've gotten so many compliments over my 2 occasions and we cant take credit for everything. Kristy really helped make it all happen. Her quality of service, flexibility, responsiveness are by all means with the upmost professionalism. She not only does event planning for a living but she cares about her clients. And with this is i highly recommend her for all event planning occasions.

    I pretty much decided to do all the planning on my own to save money but as the day neared I was becoming overwhelmed and the coordinator at the wedding venue was not being responsive. After going through 5-6 different vendors I went with Kristy for the Day of Planning option. Kristy was by far the best value and most flexible when compared to other planners in my price range. Even though I only went with the day of package, Kristy went above and beyond by helping me get my cake and bridal flowers last minute. She actually brought my flowers to the wedding herself so I didn't have to pay for the shipping. I only sent her pictures of what I was looking for and she nailed it. Her participation also got my coordinator start working. It was just a big help before and during the wedding to have her there taking care of all the decorations and such. I would recommend her especially if you were on a tight budget like I was. It's definitely worth it! She also knows a lot of local vendors and can help you get some reasonable prices as well.

    Hi,
    We used Kristy as our day of wedding coordinator. I met with her 6 months in advance of the wedding, and she was with us from start to finish, despite her only being hired for day of services. Of course, a day of coordinator needs to know what is going on long in advance of the actual day, so Kristy, understanding that, began consultations with us from an early start.

    Kristy was able to point out to us a number of issues we hadn't thought of, and really helped us in some areas she wasn't technically hired to help with, such as our transportation and last minute lighting (which really saved us BIG TIME!).

    The wedding day turned out flawlessly. Seriously. Many brides have fears that a caterer won't show on time, the cake will get destroyed, the flowers will be wilted, etc. Every single vendor of ours was there, on time, and it was an amazing (albeit fast) day.

    To be balanced in my review, the flaws in her performance are highlighted under responsiveness and flexibility. Although this is not a negative per se, Kristy has a family to run, in addition to a business and there were a few occasions on which this conflicted with our meetings or her responsiveness to email. BUT, this was a very minor point, which I hope is clear by the nearly perfect score we gave her.

    I would highly recommend Kristy and would be happy to speak on her behalf as a reference.

    I hired Kristy for her “day of” coordination package. Kristy displayed a professional and courteous demeanor throughout the day and evening. She was helpful with various last minute things, and when my mother was not feeling well at the reception, she was a huge help by ensuring she got back to the hotel safely. I took comfort in knowing Kristy was there to ensure the day and evening went flawlessly. When we returned to our hotel room later that night, to our surprise, Kristy had rearranged what was a huge disorganized mess into a romantic retreat. It was a wonderful way to end an amazing day.

    Kristy was hired as a MOC and while she was decent leading up to the event, she completely fell apart on the day of. Every vendor, my bridal party & family commented on how unprepared, chaotic and unprofessional she was.

    She and her assistant sat w/ my family during rehearsal dinner (uninvited) and when asked about it, said the dinner is not her responsibility and that she was an invited guest for the weekend. Invited guests are not hired to work events. At my reception, the tables were misnumbered so I didn't even have a seat and whole groups of people were moved. She didn't cue us for our processional, was actually not even there for that, didn't guide guests to the correct areas or set up decor correctly--later blaming my stellar caterer for all that went awry. It was a disorganized disaster. She even left at 4pm to get ready when the ceremony was set to start at 5pm. I was later told that she was referring to a "How to Event Plan" textbook. We had to ask her to leave the wedding mid-way through, so that we could get some sense of organization. Every vendor heaved a sigh of relief and individually came up to me to explain how unprepared and difficult she was to work with.

    Brides beware. It's a big day--you want it to run as smoothly as possible. This was not my experience with Milestone Events.
