    Claire and Kristen are a great team. Claire is positive and flexible. She cheered us on and encouraged us to advocate for what we wanted. Kristen is the perfect person to have on a wedding day. She is so calm and organized. I felt at ease because I knew she had everything under control. I appreciate how she went out of her way to make things happen like our outdoor ceremony with the specific music that was so important to us.

    As a wedding photographer with years of experience capturing countless love stories, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented professionals in the wedding industry. Among them, Kristen of PK Events stands out as truly exceptional. Having worked with her for multiple years on numerous weddings, I can confidently say she is one of the best wedding coordinators I’ve ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. From the moment Kristen steps onto the scene, her presence is calm, reassuring, and completely in control. Brides and grooms can rest easy knowing that every detail of their day is in the hands of someone who is not only incredibly organized but also deeply passionate about her clients’ happiness. Kristen’s attention to detail is unmatched—she anticipates needs before they arise and ensures that every aspect of the day flows seamlessly. What sets Kristen apart is her genuine kindness and care. She doesn’t just treat her couples as clients; she treats them like family. Whether it’s a last-minute change in the timeline or a small hiccup during the day, Kristen handles everything with grace and a smile, ensuring the couple never feels the stress. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure her clients’ visions come to life. As a photographer, I have a unique perspective on the wedding day. I see the behind-the-scenes moments, the interactions with vendors, and the way the day is orchestrated from start to finish. Working alongside Kristen, I’ve witnessed firsthand how she ensures every detail is executed flawlessly. Her communication with vendors is exceptional, and she fosters a collaborative environment that makes everyone’s job easier. She keeps everything running on time while still allowing the day to feel relaxed and joyful. Brides, if you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who will not only execute your vision but also make you feel truly cared for throughout the planning process and on your wedding day, look no further than Kristen at PK Events. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication to her clients are unparalleled. She will make your wedding day stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable. Kristen, it’s always a pleasure working with you, and I can’t wait for the next wedding we get to collaborate on! Thank you for everything you do to make wedding days so special for couples—and for all of us lucky enough to work alongside you.
