A must for wedding coordination!
Choosing to work with Kirsten was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her attention to detail, and thoughtful approach made everything run so smoothly. We couldn’t have managed without her!
If you do one thing, BOOK the Opal Affair!!!!
Where do we even begin- We hired the Opal Affair for wedding Day of Coordination and it was by far the best choice (and money) for our wedding day- Kirsten and Katy made it the absolute best day of our lives!! In the year of planning whenever I had a timeline questions, Kirsten was so quick and helpful in responding and then in the month and week prior to wedding day, she stepped in and took over vendor comms and made sure all the little details that made the day unique and personalized were covered. We had Katy onsite with us and from rehearsal to day of, she helped keep things running smoothly, made sure the bar didn’t run dry and stepped in when health emergencies demanded action and took charge. We so appreciate the Opal Affair going above and beyond for us and our guests- They gave my husband & I such peace of mind that all the details were covered and we couldn’t have done it without you! Truly the most magical day and all thanks to The Opal Affair team!
Kirsten is the best!
We brought on Kirsten late into our wedding planning process as a day-of coordinator and I'm so glad we did!!! She made everything flow smoothly on our wedding day and handled so much behind the scenes communication and coordination. We were able to enjoy our day without worrying about any details or finishing touches - they were all perfectly taken care of! Highly recommend!
Stress-free wedding day, worth the investment!
We utilized Kirsten and the Opal Affair for day of wedding coordination and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. At times I was worried I had piled a bit too much on her plate, but she executed my vision PERFECTLY. In addition to her eye for design, she was always two steps ahead, anticipating our needs and taking initiative to get it done. It was the best investment I made for our wedding day, and we truly could not have done it without her.
