She understood my vision and made it happen even with my request for very specific balloon colors and design. I asked for a balloon garland with sage, tan brown, ivory and copper colors, variety of sizes, and a matte look. Cristina came early and set everything up on time without any issues. The garland looked beautiful and matched my baby shower theme colors perfectly. Can't wait for future events!

She took away all the stress the day of our wedding and everything went flawless! Not only did I love working with her but all of our vendors had such nice things to say about her work and how great she is at her job. If I was starting back at square one in the wedding planning process there is no doubt I would choose her to be our planner!

Hiring Tina was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We brought her on very last minute…read moreafter being completely abandoned by our previous planner, and she absolutely saved our wedding. From the very first call, she made us feel safe, supported, and taken care of, something that meant the world to us after such a stressful experience. She jumped in immediately, learned every detail of our day and somehow managed to organize everything with total calm and confidence. She was not only an incredible planner but also such a kind friend to me through the process. I never once felt like a burden, even with all the chaos that comes with planning a wedding. On the day itself, she ran the show flawlessly. So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how smoothly everything went and how professional and composed she was. Every single detail was handled amazingly and all I had to do was enjoy the day. You can tell from the start how much experience she has and how gifted she really is! During our reception, I asked my mom to bustle my dress but she was enjoying the music (which I'm glad she was having the chance to) and Tina pulled me aside and bustled my dress without any direction or hesitation! I was so shocked because the seamstress gave me a ten minute long video and very specific instructions and Tina did it in 5 mins, no video, just skill. If you're looking for someone who is not only amazing at what she does but also genuinely cares about you as a person, Tina is the one. She took one of the most stressful situations imaginable and turned it into something beautiful and easy. I can't recommend her enough.

We're incredibly…read morethankful to partner with Michelle on short notice, but don't bet on her always being available as I hope her schedule gets packed after this review. Our situation involved a venue that allowed us to bring outside alcohol and hire our own bartender. We wanted someone exceptionally skilled who could serve a high quality mixed drink, but also do so quickly for a large number of guests (over 200 of them). Michelle fit the bill! Michelle provided clear advice on what to alcohol purchase, the quantity, tips to have a good party (e.g buying plenty of ice, pre-batching the drinks, hiring enough staff), and importantly designed a pair of custom craft cocktails for our party that were an absolute hit with our guests. Summary -- The execution was awesome. Thanks to Michelle's advice our party was a total hit!

Annie is so kind and we so appreciated her calmness during all of the wedding stress. We truly couldn't have done it without her! Thank you, Annie!

The only bad thing is that we no longer will have meetings with Annie to look forward to!

We were so grateful on the day of the wedding when she worked flawlessly as our day-of coordinator. Everything flowed smoothly, and it was such a relief knowing that she was handling everything on our big day. Throughout the process, she was pro-active about checking in with us and was extremely generous in doing everything she could to make the event perfect.

Her experience showed in setting up a birthday event outside, a memorial in a small space and managing a non-profit's gala. All different type of events and all managed incredibly.

I would highly recommend Janice to anyone looking for an experienced planner who will make sure she will handle things so you don't have to worry.

I wish 0 stars was as option... Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience with this wedding coordinator was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. She was hired to coordinate my sisters wedding. As the bride's sister, I arrived at the venue early, and thank goodness I did. Much of the décor had not been set up according to the bride's clearly communicated wishes. Instead of spending those special moments enjoying the morning with my sister before her wedding, I found myself moving heavy décor and rearranging the setup in my bridesmaid dress on a hot day just to make the venue look the way the bride had envisioned. Throughout the day, she was consistently unprofessional, rude, impatient, inconsiderate, and dismissive. She was disrespectful to the bridal party, spoke rudely to our mother despite knowing she has health issues, and had negative interactions with our family and guests. Several guests commented on how unpleasant their encounters with her were, and many didn't even realize she was the wedding coordinator because of how unprofessional she conducted herself. What was especially shocking was that she openly criticized aspects of the wedding instead of focusing on making the day run smoothly. A wedding coordinator's job is to reduce stress, solve problems, and support the couple. Instead, she created unnecessary stress on what should have been one of the happiest days of my sister's life. I also work day-of assisting for wedding coordinators, so I understand the expectations of this role. Every wedding has unexpected challenges, but professionalism, communication, and customer service should never be optional. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below even the most basic standards. I would strongly caution any couple considering hiring this coordinator. Your wedding day is too important to entrust to someone who is disrespectful, disorganized, and unwilling to treat clients, vendors, and guests with professionalism.

We were looking for a "day of" coordinator to help us out and stumbled across MK Events and we are VERY happy we did! First off, I put in interest cards with a couple of coordinators and MK got back to me within minutes! Some of the other ones, I didn't hear back from for a couple days. As soon as I talked to Kayla, I knew that my wife was gonna love her and we set up a meeting at the venue. Our "day of coordinator" was meeting with us MONTHS before the wedding and was personable, professional and was able to walk us through any questions of concerns we had. After we locked MK Events down, our workload got much lighter and we had someone to call and get a quick and accurate response. This is a big deal for anyone planning a wedding because you really want to check things off and not have to circle back on list items. Kayla amd Vanessa allowed us to do that. Kayla has great connections all over on the industry and uses her creativity to work with your budget. For example, my wife wanted a eucalyptus garland and when we saw the price, we thought we would have to do without it but Kayla worked her magic and made my wife's dream come true! We now consider Kayla and Vanessa family. The wedding was amazing and we are so thankful that MK Events was a part of it. Go with MK Events! You won't be disappointed.
