Hiring Kristi with Everlasting Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read morereception.
From our very first call, Kristi stood out. She was engaging, easy to talk to, and immediately felt like someone I could trust. After that first conversation, I told my fiancé how much I liked her and that I really wanted him to speak with her too. By our second call, before we had even officially hired her, Kristi had already started pulling ideas for where we could host our reception based on what I had shared with her just a few days earlier. She was already thinking ahead, already listening, and already on the job.
Originally, Kristi was only supposed to help us with the reception details, but she ended up helping with so much more. She connected us with my makeup vendor, helped with our florist, gave us hotel recommendations, and provided a list of vendors for our reception cake. She also wrote out our wedding day timeline and coordinated with our media team on vendor meals and our shot list. She truly went above and beyond the scope of what we originally hired her for, and I am so grateful. She made our day absolutely perfect.
I planned a very intimate wedding reception, and because it was smaller, every detail mattered. I had a clear vision for the evening: elegant, personal, coastal, romantic, and beautifully styled without feeling overdone. Kristi understood that vision and brought it to life so perfectly. When I walked into the reception space, I was genuinely blown away. The décor was stunning, the table looked beautiful, and everything felt like what I had imagined, but better! Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was--many even took home some of the decor Kristi had put together.
Leading up to the wedding, Kristi was incredibly helpful, organized, and communicative. We are based in Scottsdale, so much of our planning happened over email, and she was always responsive, clear, and steady. She helped coordinate with the venue and vendors, kept track of details, and made me feel like someone had a handle on all the moving pieces.
But where Kristi really shined was on the wedding day itself.
She was basically my shadow throughout the night, in the absolute best way. She was always nearby without ever being intrusive. She made sure I ate, made sure I had what I needed, and kept the evening moving without making me feel like I had to manage anything. I had been very clear that I wanted an espresso martini at my reception, and when I walked in, she walked me directly to the bar and put one in my hands. It sounds like a small thing, but on your wedding day, those little details feel huge. It made me feel so cared for.
She was also an amazing point of contact for our vendors. I did not have to answer questions, solve problems, or worry about what was happening behind the scenes. Kristi handled it. The entire night felt smooth, calm, beautiful, and completely intentional.
I cannot say enough good things about her. She took my vision seriously, executed it beautifully, and helped make our wedding feel perfect. Every bride deserves someone like Kristi in their corner.
