“Kristina seemed to “read our mind” and was always available when we needed her.

“Kristina is fantastic, attentive and thorough, we were able to get exactly what we needed without much explanation,”

“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.“

“Kristina was exceptional in support of our wedding…most welcoming and professional.”

“Working with Kristina is amazing. . She covers every detail at the job as well as before and after to ensure a successful, smooth event. In everything she does. It is clear to me that she genuinely cares about the client and their needs. I have worked with many event planners in my 20 years of catering, and she is among the best. Easy to get along with, conscientious, caring, and on the ball. What more could you ask for?”

“My husband and I always say that Kristina was our best choice in our whole wedding planning process. I don’t have enough space to write how awesome Kristina and Purple Orchid was for our Maine island wedding. She was organized, laid back, professional, proactive and went above and beyond in all respects to ensure our day was perfect – which it was. I cannot recommend Kristina enough – seriously. I was one of those people that thought we wouldn’t need a wedding planner and I repeat – best decision we made by far!!! Besides her help prior to the wedding Kristina and her teammate Chelsea were incredible on the day of – they made sure the day was flawlessly executed. Best choice!!“
