    I LOVE KRISTEN!!!!!

    Let me start by saying my wedding was just last night and I literally felt compelled to write this review first thing this morning. Please do yourself a favor and choose Kristen for your entire wedding process. To start, let me just say I’m a big vibes girl; it was super important to me to be surrounded by not only highly capable professionals but also really wonderful, warm, lovely human beings. Kristen’s energy is exactly what I would choose in any situation. She’s kind, sincere, thoughtful, and sweet as can be. She’s exactly the type of person I wanted to spend my whole wedding process working with (I only wish she could’ve been a guest also!!!) and the type of person I look forward to remaining in touch with for a long time. Aside from her sparkling personality, she is completely competent and an incredibly talented, knowledgeable, total pro at what she does. Wedding planning as a first time bride is not for the faint of heart, even for someone like myself (extremely organized, type A, plenty of free time) and I really still needed her and I thank my lucky stars that I had her in my corner. The peace of mind and support she provides is priceless and undoubtedly made ALL the difference in my entire experience. She made sure everything came together seamlessly and was emotionally and logistically a complete life raft. For the planning process and for the actual wedding day itself, I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. On the day of, she was literally like an angel for me and my husband. There’s nothing she doesn’t think of and she was so on top of EVERYTHING while still giving off the most sweet calming zen energy ever. I found her as the result of a family friend’s glowing review after working with her and I’m so glad to hopefully pass the baton to the next lucky bride who gets to have Kristen on board. Kristen, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. You’re truly the best!!!

    Organized, Efficient, and a Wonderful Team Player

    I absolutely LOVED working with Kristen of Eleve Events for Chelsea and Eric's fall wedding! Before the big day, Kristen reached out to collaborate on the schedule to make sure we had enough time for photos. She was thoughtful and efficient in her communication and it was so helpful to have a great timeline going into the day. On the day of the wedding, Kristen was welcoming, professional, and has such a positive attitude! She is a true team player for her couples, and the entire team of professionals coming together to help make the event a success. Kristen is organized, experienced, warm, and a true star! I absolutely loved working with her and I hope we have the opportunity to do it again in the future!

    Absolutely indispensable

    First off- if you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner in general but are not sure- just do it. It is the best money we spent of our entire wedding budget. But if you are going to hire a planner, specifically hire Eleve Events. Our experience with this company was incredible. From our first meeting to the wedding day Kristen and her team kept us organized and on track but more importantly let the process feel fun! I have heard from many couples that the time in their relationship in which they fought the most was wedding planning- it was NOT that experience for us. We got to feel in love and relaxed being engaged and she took care of all of the logistics. She gauged right away how involved we wanted to be in the planning process and let us continue our busy lives without stressing about the wedding planning. The day of the wedding Kristen's team anticipated needs I never would have even considered, she was literally prepared for every scenario that popped up and made the whole day run on time and smoothly. Everyone felt taken care of and relaxed on wedding day and we were able to just enjoy the day without having to communicate with vendors or worry about how things were running.
