My husband and I have said over and over that the best decision we made in our wedding planning process was to hire Kristin at Soirée Productions. We had been looking for a month-of coordinator - but she did SO much more! My anxiety about the wedding was virtually erased whenever I would discuss things with her. Kristin considered every single little detail you could possibly think of and took everything off our plates. HIGHLY recommend! -

As a wedding photographer/videographer, working with Kristin over the past few years has been so rewarding. She is very organized and professional with everything she does! We put on the most amazing photoshoot and she was so helpful and fun to work with every step of the way. I would highly recommend Soiree Productions for any wedding or event! -

Everyone needs a Kristin!
Kristin was incredible throughout our entire planning process. We were on the fence about hiring a coordinator because we thought we could do a majority of it ourselves, but boy were we wrong. There were so many things that we had overlooked that Kristin brought to our attention and helped us with....we had clearly never done a wedding before. Kristin’s professionalism and help put us at ease (or at least as relaxed as possible while planning a wedding). She helped combine so many different backgrounds and cultures into our wedding so that both of our families and most importantly, both of us were happy! She gladly met us at our venue, the startup building, multiple times prior to our wedding to work out any questions we had and review layouts. She was super helpful working around our schedules and my sporadic visits to Utah, as I live in Connecticut and she was helping me plan from across the country. When July 13th finally came, we were all at ease. She handled absolutely everything at The Startup Building and let us just focus on ourselves! Most importantly, during the wedding she had the most calming voice. There was never any concern or stress portrayed in her voice, although I’m sure she had to put out fires, we never even knew about them because (if there were any) she handled them on her own and we never had to worry about them! Everyone needs a Kristin at their wedding. -

Shruti Sent on 06/03/2019Patient, kind, responsive, detail-oriented wedding planner
I am so grateful to have had Kristin & the Soiree team as our wedding planning team. From our first conversation in early 2018 to our wedding day on May 25 2019 at the Stein Eriksen, Park City, Kristin was patient, detail oriented, helpful, kind, professional, gracious, and very organized. We had a Indian-Jewish inspired wedding with two ceremonies and a reception, and Kristin helped us ensure that every detail was taken care of and every factor was considered. She gave us unlimited time and was very responsive and thoughtful in all of her communications. I was especially impressed by her retention of detail, but what I especially appreciate about Kristin (as a PR professional myself and in the client service space) is her composure and ability to work seamlessly and professionally when faced with changing circumstances, dynamics, and variables. When we to make last minute to changes to our wedding day due to weather, Kristin was reliable, patient, and fast-moving-- ensuring that our wedding day was truly unforgettable. I cannot speak highly enough of Kristin, and if you are planning a wedding in the Park City / Salt Lake City area (and otherwise), she should be at the top of your list of people to call. -

Kristin is the best and a total genius when it comes to wedding planning!! I got married November 3rd, 2018 at St. Mary's in Park City, UT and had my reception at Blue Sky Ranch in Wanship, UT and having Kristin's help made the whole day run smoothly! I had planned a lot of the details myself and booked most of my vendors and she came in early enough in the process and really helped me dial everything in! I cannot say enough about how detail-oriented she is and what a perfectionist she was along with me! She took care of me! I enjoyed my wedding day and will cherish the day for the rest of my life! It was perfect! Thank you Kristin, Hailey, and Soiree Productions! :) -
Jesicah Sent on 05/31/2018Seriously...if you're wondering whether to hire a coordinator, do it!!! Kristin was beyond helpful and totally took away all my stress during my wedding weekend. I got married at Blue Sky Ranch this last weekend and so appreciated all her help - she took control of all details, vendors, and even arranged some last minute transportation needs. Seriously...use her!!!

Clarissa Sent on 11/08/2014I came across Melissa Hagen of Soiree Productions through one of my other vendors. Originally, I had no intention of booking a wedding planner, but this was THE best money I ever spent.
My husband and I live in DC, but our wedding was in UT. I knew planning my wedding from afar wouldn't be easy. From the first call with her, though, I was immediately put to ease about the entire process. I knew she would take care of everything, and that most importantly, I wouldn’t be stressed on my big day.
She asked me to make a board of wedding inspiration on Pinterest and from there she knew exactly what I wanted. I took her every suggestion for vendors, and I was not disappointed. Each vendor I worked with was professional and incredible. We got great value, but did not sacrifice quality.
In addition to actual vendor planning, she helped with other smaller projects such as arranging calligraphy for the tent cards, finding gorgeous unique table toppers, and putting together our guest book. She even thought of a new twist on the boring wedding video of growing up pictures that no one watches. My wedding had lots of unique details that set it apart from so many overdone wedding themes, and this was 100% because of her.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding she took charge of the vendors and coordinated with them to make sure everything was ready. On the day of the wedding, she was by my side to make sure everything was flawless. She cue’d the wedding party as they walked down the aisle, and effortlessly transitioned all the guests from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, and to dinner, dancing, and cake cutting. When some of my guests started leaving, she coordinated the sparkler send off before they left so we didn’t miss out on that moment.
Our guests said our wedding was the best they had attended. The entire day was so organized, and I never had to worry about anything. Melissa is an amazing wedding planner. I feel very lucky to have worked with her. -

Kendall Sent on 02/01/2012What can I say! I don't know what I would have done without Kristin. I had Day-of planning with a few extras, but as the day became closer and I became more stressed Kristin helped me so much with organization and making me a list of things to do and what was most important. She definitely relaxed my mind and was on top of every detail. On the day of I did not notice one problem because Kristin had taken care of all of them!! She was wonderful! -

Kristin and her team helped me plan my wedding from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and always willing to make time for me as if I were the only bride (which I know I was not). On the day of, she and her team was amazing, they were all in sync and had the day flowing effortlessly. Kristin knows EVERYBODY in Utah and can also help you find whatever vendors you need! -

User2310579 Sent on 09/10/2015We hired Kristin Spear as our wedding planner after already booking most of our vendors/venue (a package she offers). While she did contribute to a wonderful wedding, we were pretty disappointed with the overall experience.
Good:
- Coordinated the vendors on the wedding day and week before - I didn't have to deal with setup, paying anyone, etc
- Has experience and connections in the industry - she knows a lot about Park City weddings
- Gave us some fun ideas for the wedding that we wouldn't have otherwise had (welcome bags, late night snacks, decor, guestbook alternatives)
Bad (Pre-Wedding):
- Was terrible at responding to emails (often took 5+ days)
- Plugged vendors that she clearly had relationships with - felt like she was looking out for their interests rather than ours
- Regularly needed reminding to get tasks done
- Complained about other clients (unprofessional)
- Seemed bored and even bothered in some of our meetings
Bad (Day of Wedding):
- Forgot to buy items that she was supposed to deliver to my room
- Messed up seating chart
- Was MISSING throughout the day and night (disappeared for over an hour, I had to send people to look for her)
- Handed a vendor a blank check that she was supposed to have filled in
- Had no sense of urgency or even interest in her duties
- Watched me trip over my dress on the stairs and didn’t offer to help at all (until I asked)
- Ordered glow sticks but forgot to bring them to the dance floor. I left my own wedding to look for them, and could only find some. She was completely missing at this point. About 5 minutes before the end of the event, she showed up with the rest. Really disappointing.
I do recognize that she still did a LOT of work, but we paid a lot of money and don’t feel like we got that much for it. Wedding vendors complained to me that Kristin was bad to work with too.
