Message From the Owner

I remember planning the biggest event of my life. I was in the Hotel/Restaurant industry and was planning my wedding. I had all the feelings, excitement and nervousness all wrapped up into one. The sleepless nights, wondering if I have thought of everything. On the day of the wedding, I thought I could do it all AND enjoy my favorite people- my guests, that was not the case. I wish I had someone there to manage the unexpected.

After my wedding day, I decided no one should feel that overwhelming feeling that I felt. So, I put together the best team of amazingness and we got to work. I know firsthand the emotional side of planning such a large event. Our goal is to have you feel relaxed and put together, while enjoying an incredible event! Xoxo, Kristina.

We hired Purple Orchid Event Planning in December 2015 for our July 2016 wedding. We purchased the full Maine Wedding Planner package. True to how the package is advertised, Kristina’s service was virtually unlimited. She particularly excelled during the first month of planning and the last week before (and of course the day of) the event. She helped us quickly identify a wedding site by pre-filtering locations based on our tastes, date restrictions and budget. My wife and I live in Boston, so she arranged to have us tour five sites in one day. We ended up choosing a location we would never have considered without the benefit of her experience. She has a great approach where she proposes several options for each vendor need, depending on your budget and tastes, and offers editorial perspective where necessary. She makes the process much more manageable while also making you feel like it is still your day. She is a great sounding board and voice of calm and reason during a process that could otherwise be rather stressful. We truly rarely felt stressed through the whole planning process. Fast forward to the week before the wedding: Kristina was on top of every detail. Our particular crisis was the mobile bathroom vendor canceling our reservation five days before the wedding. We never worried about it, and Kristina took care of it. Come the Friday before the weekend, we handed off a car full of table cards, Ketubah, photos for display, etc. and then stopped worrying about any details. She and her team took care of everything the weekend of the wedding, and we never worried about any of it. Highly recommended, especially for outdoor weddings–and for couples short on time.

“One of the first calls I would make after my younger daughter’s engagement would be to call Kristina at the Purple Orchid! Her advice and especially her presence on my older daughter’s wedding day made the event worry-free for the family; we were able to enjoy our own party…”
