  • I regret booking Kierstin

    •Verified review
    •Michelle A.•Nov 21

    I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment with Kierstin Smith. Unfortunately, I didn't see any of the bad reviews from her most recent weddings because I booked her in July 2023. There were some red flags earlier on in the process, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt because I figured her being scatterbrained, distracted, and unresponsive was a result of her also planning other weddings. She would often use these other events to explain why she hadn't responded to a text or email, so I let it slide when I should not have. We purchased the "Peace of Mind" package, so Kierstin helped us book the florist, the bakery for our wedding cake, and found us a rental for the table linens. The package also included custom wedding signage for our welcome sign and our seating chart, neither of which Kierstin provided. We ended up paying for those items ourselves. Closer to the wedding, we worked with Kierstin to figure out the walk-in for our wedding party and other plans for the wedding day. During these meetings, Kierstin continued to be scatterbrained and had a really hard time getting the names of our wedding party correct even with repeated corrections. In passing she blamed this on dyslexia, but she never worked on getting it right after that. This became apparent during our wedding rehearsal where she called everyone every name but their own. On event day, it became apparent that Kierstin really needs a team, apart from her husband, to help her if she's going to keep doing weddings. The "Peace of Mind" package includes event set-up and clean-up. While I was getting ready, she had members of the wedding party helping to set up chairs, tables, and centerpieces. When it was time for the wedding party to walk into the ceremony, I had to tell Kierstin twice that the DJ was playing the wrong song before she caught on to what I said and corrected it. During the cocktail hour, Kierstin was supposed to keep watch on the time so that she could grab us to do sunset photos with the photographer, but she was nowhere to be found. The cocktail hour took place below the reception floor, so we could hear through the ceiling that they still weren't ready. I ended up keeping track of the time myself so that we wouldn't miss our window. Things really took a turn for the worst at the end of the night just before the groom and I were supposed to ride off from the venue. Kierstin walked up to the groom and asked how we were going to be handling the trash from the event (remember, her "Peace of Mind" package includes clean up). Kierstin apparently assumed that there was a dumpster on site for trash, but that was incorrect. She then tried to pawn cleanup of trash on the caterers. They told her there would be a fee for this service, and she said "that's fine." Luckily, the caterers told her that it was inappropriate of her to say that since she was not footing the bill. There's so much more, but I'll spare you. Kierstin told me in front of the catering team and our wedding party that she and Michael would take care of the trash they loaded on the bus once we got back to the hotel. They never showed up although they were staying in the same hotel as us. The groom took care of the trash. My wedding night was significantly more stressful because of Kierstin. I regret booking her.

  • My sister's wedding

    •Verified review

    Kierstin was my sister's wedding planner. My sister Alyssa had a same intimate wedding on a plantation in Hawaii. Kierstin made sure the wedding went great and She got reinvolved in with the other wedding guest and made sure everyone had fun time. I was my sister's maid of honor and I strongly felt relieved that my sister and I did not have to worry about anything. I would highly recommend her for your next event.

  • Best Day of Coordinator!

    Kierstin was our day of coordinator for our wedding on November 6th 2022. She was wonderful to work with. Kierstin followed up on all of my vendors two weeks before our wedding. She helped and assisted my whole wedding party and family. I felt I was able to have fun and did not have to worry about a thing. Best service.
