Love Notes
“Our Day Wouldn’t Have Been the Same Without Her”
“I am not someone who, in the past, thought of a wedding day-of coordinator as a needed part of a wedding day. I’m spending so much money on so many things, is that really necessary too? Also, I tend to be pretty organized and know how I want things… Why would I want someone interfering with that? Kristen Jones proved me wrong! Her services turned out to be an invaluable part of our day. Her clear passion for her work, her insane organization skills, and her dedication to bringing our wedding day vision to life, are just a few of the things that make her an extraordinary day-of-coordinator.
Even if you are the most organized person on the planet, there are a handful (a list, really) of things on your wedding day that you will still be unable to deal with. And if you are able to deal with them, you really won’t want to once your special day comes. Checking in with your vendors as they arrive? Working with your DJ to pace the flow of the night? Setting up your tables exactly how you envisioned them? Even if you think you have a family member who can handle these things, I have seen from my experience of 50+ weddings I’ve attended or been a part of, and now with my own, that this usually (always) leads to chaos of one form or another. Don’t get me wrong- it is so fun involving family in aspects of your wedding, even important aspects, if one of them does flowers, or officiates, etc. But the flow of the day and the communication between all the important players in your day? Leave that up to a day-of-coordinator.
Despite all of these amazing things that Kristen handled- rehearsal, checklists, timelines, vendor/family communication, etc.- one of the things I appreciated the most was her ability to be incredibly thorough from the beginning, while still making me feel like I had control and was in charge of the details. She made it clear from the get-go that my vision for my wedding day was of the utmost importance to her, and she would be as involved (or not) as I preferred in making my specific vision come to life. Because of her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy being with our loved ones on one of the best days of our lives. Even with last minute changes due to weather and set-up, Kristen calmly adapted to the situation and made magic out of mayhem. She still brought my vision to life, despite last minute changes, and that is the sign of an excellent day-of-coordinator. She had taken so much time getting to know us as a couple, going over timelines and checklists with us multiple times, that when a problem arose, she knew how to deal with it and still bring our specific vision to life.
She is simply great at what she does, and I can not recommend Kristen Jones enough for your wedding day-of coordinator needs.
