Hiring Weddings with Verve was literally the absolute best thing we have done. Any questions we had they would answer right away. They helped us see our vision so clearly. Their design team Erica was amazing and made my vision come to life!! Their teammate Nicole was wonderful and helped us throughout the day, anything we needed she was right their handling everything. Even my children gave them big hugs and thank you’s. We had a smooth amazing night because of them. We would definitely recommend them to other future brides. You would not regret it

Hiring Weddings With Verve was the absolute best decision we ever made for our wedding. I could not imagine getting through the day without both Shannon B. and Shannon E.,. From my major dress malfunction, to the FALL off my chair (which thankfully no one by Shannon E saw), they made each moment fun and allowed me to be fully present on the biggest day of my life. Kristi and her entire time really know how to organize and plan an event. Every meeting was detailed, everything you can imagine was accounted for, every vision that I had in my head for what I wanted the day to look like was magically pulled out by Kristi and her team. They alleviated so much pressure during such a stressful time. Because of them, both my husband and I were actually able to be guests at our own wedding and enjoy every minute of it. We cannot recommend them enough when it comes to wedding planners!

I hired Weddings with Verve for my wedding on 10/15/22 and it was the BEST decision I could have made. I started planning my wedding 11 months before the day, and I knew I needed a team of bad ass planners to pull off a chic backyard wedding at a special residence, with a guest count of 200. Being a control freak myself, I was nervous to place the responsibility of planning into other people's hands, never mind strangers! When I tell you that Kristi and her team listened to every single detail, worry, and must-haves/ have nots of my wedding day - and consistently followed through with answers, delivering on the details, and (most of the time) even better ideas - I could not believe how lucky I was to find them. My wedding was the best day of my entire life, and I swear it was due to this incredible team at Verve (s/o Kristi, Erika, Alexis, and Kortnie!!!). They had me think through every single detail leading up to the day of the wedding so that on the day of I was relaxed and could simply enjoy the day and soak it all up. The Verve team is patient, innovative, extremely talented and well-networked and respected in the industry. Each team member brings a different set of skills to the table, and together they create the perfect balance of skills for a powerhouse team. One story... my bustle completely broke while entering the ceremony, and I hadn't even done my first dance yet! The Verve team quickly jumped in to re-adjust the schedule, communicate to all vendors, and Verve team member Erika literally re-bustled my dress with safety pins!! Our guests had no idea any of that even happened, or that we even adjusted the schedule because of the seamlessness that the team provides in any situation, and the skillsets (ie. fashion design!!!!) to make my bustle look as good as new. Literally my mom didn't even know that all happened. Lastly, I cannot stress enough how important and essential the relationships and introductions to vendors that the Verve team provided were. In a world filled with SO many options, choosing your vendors can easily be the most overwhelming part of planning your wedding - they are critical to every single detail of your day. The Verve team introduced me to their trusted vendors who they have spent years creating relationships with, and I swear that this narrowing down of options, and simply knowing that these vendors were trusted and going to do an amazing job, made choosing my vendors actually a fun process because I knew I couldn't go wrong! I cannot thank them enough for all of the work they put in to making my wedding day perfect. It would not have been the same day without them by my side throughout the entire process.

My photographer recommended Kristi + team for partial wedding planning/day of coordination and I am SOOOO happy she did. I was a type A bride who didn't really mind planning on my own but when it came to the day of I knew I couldn't be everywhere at once. My venue had a coordinator and bridal assistant assigned to me for the day of but the truth is that their main concern is the venue/catering! I also knew that I'd need to have someone outside of my bridal party and family who could help make sure vendors/deliveries arrived, decor was set up properly, wrangle family members for photos, and just be a neutral voice of command (let them do the "scolding" so I didn't have to look like a bridezilla!). Even though I only needed day of coordination, Kristi came into the picture to take over everything 60 days out. She was truly a godsend because that's when you really start to feel overwhelmed as you're focusing on not only finalizing so many details but your bridal shower/bachelorette. I was really able to focus on little details that matter (like our vows!) because Kristi took care of finalizing the timeline, vendor communications/confirmations, floorplan, etc. It was great to have someone to bounce ideas off of or get advice from as well really from the moment we booked her. On the day of our wedding we had Nicole, Evan, Shannon, and Erica from Kristi's team (a few of them also attended our details meeting with our venue + our rehearsal the day before). They were AMAZING and we were so glad they were there so we could truly be guests at our wedding! We felt so relaxed and truly had the best day of our lives. It also feels really good to know that since we didn't have to assign any of our friends/family "jobs" they also genuinely had the best time!

I booked Weddings With Verve for partial planning services for my wedding on 9/3/22. Kristi and her team are an absolute DREAM to work with!!! Kristi is so organized, easy to communicate with, and detailed. I swear I do not know when Kristi sleeps because every email I had sent with even small and silly questions was answered within hours. I had also heard from multiple vendors of mine that Kristi had coordinated with that Kristi was such a pleasure to work with and made the experience so seamless for them as well. As my maitre' d had said to me - I wish I could hire Kristi to help me with organizing my life full time! The day of coordination team with Verve was absolutely amazing. Nicole, Evan, and Shannon were so fun! They made sure my husband and I ate, fixed my dress throughout the night, and even brought portable fans for my wedding party to use on our very humid wedding day while we were taking photos. if there was something that happened during my wedding that didn't go according to plan, I have no idea about it because the team took care of all the details all night. Not only are they so good at their jobs, but Nicole, Evan, and Shannon are SO nice. We loved them! Their energy rubbed off on us and the rest of our party and made us all feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the day. I cannot thank the Verve team enough for making our dream day a reality!!

If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Weddings with Verve was an absolute life savor not only on our wedding day but throughout our entire wedding planning process! Nicole, Jen, Evan and Erika made our day flow perfectly. Our guests and family had such wonderful things to say about all of them. Hiring this team was by far the best decision we could have made. Such a wonderful experience before, during and after our wedding <3

I truly don’t even know where to begin - but I will start by saying, HIRE WEDDINGS WITH VERVE. I did not think I needed a month/day-of coordinator (and you can't even call it that, because they do so much beyond just the day-of), but after seeing all that they did, I don't know how I could've executed our wedding without the WWV team. I had the pleasure of working closely with Kristi and Nicole, as well as Evan and Shannon. We started working with Kristi about 2 months before the wedding and we quickly realized that any concerns we had would be handled by their team. They thought of almost everything so that we would be completely prepared for our big day. As someone who considers themselves pretty organized, Kristi exceeded all my expectations in that department. She was on top of all of our vendors, and prepared a detailed timeline for them (and us) that was such a helpful resource leading up to our wedding. Kristi answered any questions we had, and handled any last minute changes/issues that came up (with a smile I might add). Nicole was with us on the day-of, and she was EXCEPTIONAL - I felt like we had been friends for years. Without her (and the rest of the team) the day would not have gone so well! She kept us on track with our timeline, dealt with a vendor of ours who ended up being a bit difficult, and not only did she ensure that my husband and I were well taken care of (changing my shoes, making sure I ate, etc. etc.), but our families and bridal party as well (she even sewed a guests pants that ripped before the wedding!!). Evan and Shannon were also SUCH a pleasure to work with, ensuring we were on track with the timeline, and executing a lot of behind the scenes details that I did not have to think about the day-of. I cannot thank the WWV enough and would HIGHLY recommend hiring them!!!!

This review is lonnngg overdo! I am the owner of Modern Fusion Catering and we had the absolute pleasure of working with Kristi and her team at a private property wedding this summer. Every detail from décor to timing, to professionalism, and overall energy / personality of Kristi and her crew were flawless. My staff truly enjoyed partnering up with Weddings with Verve and the wedding was a beautiful success. Can't wait to have many more events together! Kristi definitely raised the bar in the event coordinating world and I wouldn't settle for anything less in the future. Killed it!

I owe the amazing wedding day I had to Kristi, Val and Nicole. They aren't kidding when they say you'll be a guest at your own wedding. Without them, I would have been an absolute mess of anxiety and stress. They kept us on track with our timeline and made sure I didn't know there was a tornado warning(!) or a scramble to set up my ceremony indoors. We were able to take our pre-ceremony photos outside before the rain, and they were there with the photographer to keep us exactly on time (like literally predicted the exact moment the rain would start... 3:29 PM). We were taking our last photo right before the first drizzle started. They were kind and calm with me and my other vendors, and they made sure I was comfortable the whole day, bringing me water, holding my train and veil, etc. They were also so sweet with social media posts about my flowers, my dress, etc. which made me feel proud and special. About 6 weeks away from my wedding, I started to panic about pulling everything together. I was on the fence about hiring a month/day-of coordinator because I hadn't budgeted for it. Working with WWV was the best decision I made in the entire planning process. Can't recommend highly enough!
