About Kristen Ligas
Well-Dressed Events
Well-Dressed Events is a full-service wedding and event planning studio based in Jersey City. We specialize in stylish, seamless, and intentional celebrations across NJ, NYC, PA, and beyond. From vendor management to design, we handle every detail with calm leadership, creativity, and care—so you can focus on what matters most.
We lead with logistics, not just looks. While we love beautiful details, our planning is experience-first—because if the day doesn’t work, the design doesn’t matter. We guide every decision with purpose: pacing, guest comfort, and overall flow. We're real with our clients, we think five steps ahead, and we make sure your day feels as good as it looks. That’s what people remember—and we don’t leave that to chance.
In three words: Creative, Fun, Organized

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Well-Dressed Events is SIMPLY THE BEST! Kristen was our planner for our wedding and I could cry over how amazing she is! The venue we chose was a blank canvas and we had to bring in everything ourselves, which was super daunting. Kristen was with us every step of the way, and really shined on the day of the wedding especially. She is just so much fun to work with, super helpful and attentive and just an all around pro. She took care of everything for me and accommodated even our craziest of requests. I love her to pieces! I can not recommend getting a planner enough, it is sooo worth it, and 100/100 recommend Well-Dressed Events : )
12/10 Recommend!!!
Kristen and the Well-Dressed events team was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! They should be at the top of your list when looking at wedding planners! The first time I talked with Kristen I felt like I had just made a new best friend. Kristen was there every step of the way to help and alleviate any stress we had! Kristen helped me make decision that would have otherwise be impossible for me! She gave recommendations, advice and her expertise to help make our wedding dreams come true! Our wedding day went so smoothly because of her! Kristen and WDE team were there from start to finish and they took care of everything! Kristen made both me and my husband feel relaxed and at ease during our wedding day! Kristen went above and beyond to make our day perfect!
High Praise for Well-Dressed
I look forward to working with Well Dressed every time I receive an inquiry from them. They are not only organized, professional, and competent, Nicole and Kristen also take the utmost care of my inventory as if each item is their own. Everything always comes back in perfect condition, and if any accident does happen, they remediate instantly. I highly recommend Nicole and Kristen from Well Dressed!
