Claire and Kristen

Claire and Kristen are a great team. Claire is positive and flexible. She cheered us on and encouraged us to advocate for what we wanted. Kristen is the perfect person to have on a wedding day. She is so calm and organized. I felt at ease because I knew she had everything under control. I appreciate how she went out of her way to make things happen like our outdoor ceremony with the specific music that was so important to us.

As a wedding photographer with years of experience capturing countless love stories, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented professionals in the wedding industry. Among them, Kristen of PK Events stands out as truly exceptional. Having worked with her for multiple years on numerous weddings, I can confidently say she is one of the best wedding coordinators I’ve ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. From the moment Kristen steps onto the scene, her presence is calm, reassuring, and completely in control. Brides and grooms can rest easy knowing that every detail of their day is in the hands of someone who is not only incredibly organized but also deeply passionate about her clients’ happiness. Kristen’s attention to detail is unmatched—she anticipates needs before they arise and ensures that every aspect of the day flows seamlessly. What sets Kristen apart is her genuine kindness and care. She doesn’t just treat her couples as clients; she treats them like family. Whether it’s a last-minute change in the timeline or a small hiccup during the day, Kristen handles everything with grace and a smile, ensuring the couple never feels the stress. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure her clients’ visions come to life. As a photographer, I have a unique perspective on the wedding day. I see the behind-the-scenes moments, the interactions with vendors, and the way the day is orchestrated from start to finish. Working alongside Kristen, I’ve witnessed firsthand how she ensures every detail is executed flawlessly. Her communication with vendors is exceptional, and she fosters a collaborative environment that makes everyone’s job easier. She keeps everything running on time while still allowing the day to feel relaxed and joyful. Brides, if you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who will not only execute your vision but also make you feel truly cared for throughout the planning process and on your wedding day, look no further than Kristen at PK Events. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication to her clients are unparalleled. She will make your wedding day stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable. Kristen, it’s always a pleasure working with you, and I can’t wait for the next wedding we get to collaborate on! Thank you for everything you do to make wedding days so special for couples—and for all of us lucky enough to work alongside you.

Wedding

Kristen was an absolute lifesaver for my daughter’s wedding. Her incredible attention to detail and creative spirit ensured the day was truly perfect. From start to finish, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She created a timeline and kept everything on track, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day while making sure all the special moments happened just as planned. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication and highly recommend her to anyone planning their wedding!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Luckiest Find for Our New Orleans Wedding! This is a long one, so I apologize...No less words could articulate my gratitude!!! If I could give PK Events more than five stars, I absolutely would. Honestly, I’m not sure five stars adequately covers the level of magic this team created for us. My husband and I live in Montana and decided to have a smaller destination wedding in New Orleans, which was equal parts dreamy and terrifying. Planning a wedding from across the country can feel like trying to assemble a puzzle when you don’t even have the picture on the box. Im not great with puzzles as it is lol. Then we found PK Events, and suddenly everything fell into place. Finding this local New Orleans team was truly the luckiest find of our entire wedding planning experience. I should probably give you some important background about the bride: I am an indecisive, procrastinating person by nature. Give me 3 options and I will somehow need to “sleep on it” for three weeks. Or avoid making a decision at all. 😂 If PK Events hadn't been there to help guide and organize me, I’m fairly certain I would have had a full-blown mental breakdown somewhere between choosing flowers and figuring out the timeline. Enter Kristen and Claire. (My Fairy Godplanners.) From the very beginning, they felt less like wedding planners and more like two long-lost family friends who had somehow been assigned to make our wedding fantasy come true. They were warm, fun, incredibly responsive, patient with all of my indecisiveness, and somehow always managed to make me feel like everything was completely under control. They helped coordinate communication with our venue and vendors, kept all the moving pieces moving, answered questions, handled details I didn't even know needed handling, and ultimately brought my whimsical wedding to life. And then there was the wedding day… I had to put an almost comical amount of trust in them because we were planning everything from Montana. I had no idea exactly what our venue setup was going to look like. I didn't know what the flowers would look like. I didn't even see our cake until the wedding day. And somehow… EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. Not just “good.” Not just “close enough.” PERFECT. Every member of the PK Events team absolutely nailed my vision. They took all the little details I had imagined and brought them to life in a way that was even more fabulous l than I could have pictured. I highly recommend letting the pros have some creative free reign! No micro management needed. Every person on the team is an ARTIST. Can we talk about the value?! We never could have had the incredible number of vendors and services included in our package for anything close to that price back home in Montana. They gave us the opportunity to have a truly spectacular, unique wedding without feeling like we had to choose between our dream wedding and our bank account. But what I’m most grateful for is what they gave us that you simply can't put a price on: PEACE OF MIND. We got to soak in magic of our favorite city, celebrate with the people we love with fantastic food (and many hurricane cocktails), laugh, dance, and actually experience our wedding instead of managing it. Kristen, Claire, and the entire PK Events team — thank you for taking a wedding that existed mostly in my ADD head and turning it into something even more wonderful than I imagined. We came all the way from Montana, put our trust in a New Orleans team we had just found, and somehow ended up feeling like we had our best friends behind the scenes making everything happen. And Kristen and Claire, I hope you understand that by being so sensational, you have created a problem for yourselves: I fully intend to force you to hang out with me every single time we come back to New Orleans.😂 You’re not getting rid of me that easily. If you are planning a wedding in New Orleans, especially a destination wedding, STOP LOOKING. Hire PK Events. Your future, less-stressed, happily-married self will thank you.
