My son's summer backyard wedding
I want to share my wonderful experience working with Kristy planning my son's June 2025 backyard wedding. My son and fiancé had a vision for their wedding day and Kristy met every idea with enthusiasm and the resources to make it happen. Her organizational skills kept everyone up to date and on time making decisions and deadlines. Her advice and experience was invaluable. So many little details and she had suggestions for everything and anything. She is friendly and easy to work with! The bottom line is that our summer backyard wedding went off without a single hitch. Every vendor she hired nailed it. The set up and clean up exceeded my expectations. We had a glorious wedding day and were able to enjoy the day without a care in the world, because Kristy was all over it. I will always be grateful we made the decision to hire Kristy to plan our son's wedding. Jo Ann
Response from vendor•Aug 18, 2025Thank you so much, Jo Ann! I loved getting to work with you all to bring their wedding to life. Thank you again for trusting me with your home!WBK was the best decision
WBK and Angela were the absolute best team to make our wedding so special. They are incredibly organized and helped us through what can be an overwhelming wedding planning process. They are incredibly responsive and worked behind the scenes wedding day to make the wedding day flawless and stress free. Hiring WBK was the absolute best decision and we would recommend highly them!! 10/10
Response from vendor•Jul 25, 2025Thank you for your kind words! It truly means the world and reminds us how lucky we are to get to do this work ❤️-Angela & WBK Team5 Stars - Grateful for WBK!
From our first conversation, WBK felt organized, experienced, and really easy to communicate with. We felt like WBK's values aligned with our's and we are so happy we decided to work with Kristy, Destiny, and the team. The day-of (especially) and the months leading up, WBK was not hesitant in answering all of our questions and providing guidance necessary to pull this off. Without WBK, the planning would’ve been much more stressful and the day itself would’ve been harder to fully enjoy. Having someone manage the timeline, vendors, and little surprises behind the scenes made all the difference. WBK worked well with all of our families, friends, and fun personalities. I cannot stress how grateful we are for WBK and the excellent service they offer!
Kristy Was a Godsend
We’ve said it many times during the wedding planning process and we’ll continue to shout it to the hills: hiring Kristy and her team was the best decision we’ve ever made and the best money we’ve ever spent. From the consultation and throughout the entire process Kristy was lovely to work with and incredibly friendly and personal but also always on top of everything. She flagged so many little details that we never would have thought of but led to a much smoother wedding day. Her detailed resources, templates, and documents were invaluable, but she was also flexible when I needed to make my own spreadsheets to keep everything straight in a way that worked with my brain. The timeline she created for us was a work of art and a thing of beauty and something I could have never done on my own. She included every single facet of the event from load in and load out for every vendor down to when we needed to bring our checkbook. Handing communications with vendors to her team in the last few months was amazing and definitely reduced our stress levels. While the timeline was delayed (due to another vendor), Kristy pivoted quickly and ensured that things got back on track and as close to the plan as possible. When we changed our mind on things mid-wedding (like if we wanted a more formal send off) she ensured that it was actually what we wanted but then changed to accommodate it. She also organized tear down of all the decor so that all we had to do was show up the morning after to pick up our belongings. As a queer couple, one of whom is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, Kristy and her team made us feel welcomed and affirmed for the entire process while vetting vendors to make sure they were LGBT friendly and listing our (and our wedding party’s) pronouns on resource sheets so that the whole vendor team was aware and misgendering was as limited as possible (and never by Kristy or her team). She (or a team member?) also recommended many amazing vendors to us including our amazing DJ who had the exact vibe we wanted (gay pop dance party) and ensured the dance floor was full and everyone loved the music choices. Kristy led our rehearsal like a (very nice) drill sergeant, which made it so much more efficient and effective than others I’ve been a part of. The ceremony went off without any major hitches and everyone (including 13 wedding party members, both of our parents, our officiant, and us) knew where they needed to be and when to do what. I was incredibly impressed and super grateful. It also ensured that I didn’t need to think or worry about the little details like making sure seats were reserved and that people started walking at the right time. My only regret is that we didn’t have the budget to have her team plan our rehearsal dinner as well. That experience versus the day of the wedding was a huge contrast. On the day of, I could answer every question with “ask Kristy” and she would always have the answer. As a very anxious and “type A” person I fully trusted Kristy and her team throughout the process which was wonderful for my sanity. I was able to offload all the thinking and logistics onto her and her team and be much more present at my wedding with my now wife and friends and family. Photos by Abby Carissimo.
