Where to begin?? I called a few different planners before speaking with Krystle, once our initial consult was done, I knew she was the one to work with! Throughout the whole process, she was incredibly helpful with allllllll my questions (big or small). She was always easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. Without her, our wedding would've been nowhere near as perfect as it was. Leading up to the wedding, I had no anxiety because I knew the day was in good hands. Even when my MUA got covid a week out from the wedding and I had to scramble to find a new one! She provided great alternatives and wasn't stressed about it (which made me calmer!). Everything went perfectly and I am so thankful that I had Krystle there.

In my opinion and from the comments from many guests, my daughter's wedding this past December was flawless. Krystle was so professional, accommodating, easy to get in touch with, calm and organized. She did a superb job of giving us just the right amount of options to choose from in regards to bands, furnishings, bakeries, florists, etc. We are from out of town, so we relied heavily on her opinions. I was really impressed with her ability to stay within our budget. The whole event was beautiful and we appreciate her expertise to pull it all together for us.

Perfection meets excellence meets grace! What more can we say? Our wedding, planned and executed by Krystal and her team, has been called the best wedding ever attended by at least 30 of our family and friends who came to celebrate. Each moment became intimate and all of our wants and desires became reality in the well-coordinated and beautifully staged event. We started planning a year ahead from afar. New Orleans holds special memories for us and not living a state away presented some special challenges. Krystal made the thought and experience possible and flawless. For a large event or an intimate celebration we could not imagine our past year of planning for our wedding (with a new baby as well!) going more smoothly. Our heartfelt thanks and unequivocal gratitude to a true professional and a person we consider a friend. Please reach out to us if you want to hear more about our experience.

Krystle is so incredible that I don’t even know where to begin with this review, so I’m just going to launch right into it. I believe the phrase “above and beyond” was probably invented for Krystle. She will be your mother, your sister, your best friend, and your most trusted advisor all at once, and you can bet there will be a gorgeous, joyful smile on her face the entire time. There is nothing this woman cannot handle or do, and hiring her was honestly the best wedding decision I made. No matter what came up before or during the wedding, Krystle was unflappable, and her experience and skill allowed her to navigate easily through every surprise inconvenience. I’m a designer with high standards and expectations, so having a wedding out of state was difficult for me, since I had to put so much faith in other people. I interviewed every wedding planner in New Orleans (no, but really ALL OF THEM) and no one impressed me the way Krystle did—and that was just over the phone. She’s cool, sharp, graceful, and charming, and I trusted her gut and capabilities from the start. I know that I couldn’t have had the same perfect outcome if anyone else had been in charge, so my gratitude for her is endless… But what I’m most grateful for is to now count her as a friend.
