"Krista, you helped us every step of the way in planning our dream wedding! You went above and beyond the call of duty with meetings, going to bat for us with our vendors, and keeping us on point! You are very professional and compassionate and showed that you truly cared about us and the most special day in our lives! We thank you so much for helping us create such an amazing day! You were AWESOME!! I know you spent a lot of your time and energy in helping us create an amazing day, and it was well worth it! We could not have done it without you!!!"

"Krista, you made our wedding day feel like we were stars. I’m sure behind-the-scenes chaos always occurs, but we saw none of that and we thank you once again for making it happen like the movies! Once we got a chance to wind down, we reflected on the evening and just thought how smoothly everything worked out and its all thanks to our kick ass coordinator. From the bottom of our hearts, you made our most special evening so memorable and so stress-free. We loved every aspect of our wedding and are very thankful that we had you as our coordinator. It felt very comforting to know that you were there. It made us feel like we had a star player on our team!!! It was such an amazing night and it would not have been possible without you. Thank you rock star coordinator! If the scale is 1 to 10, you are 11! Rock on!"

"The BEST wedding coordinator on the planet! Hiring Krista was the smartest thing I did when planning my wedding. I am very particular about the way I like things and Krista took the time to get to know me and what was most important to me for our wedding. Our wedding was the most amazing night of our lives and I owe so much to Krista. She made sure that everything was perfect and as planned. Krista is also amazing at prioritizing things to focus on if you ever feel overwhelmed. I knew from the beginning I could trust Krista and I was right - she is seriously the best asset a wedding can have. I am high energy, high stress and I let go of everything and enjoyed my wedding to the fullest. I didn't have a worry on my mind because I knew Krista would handle everything. For the first time, I really felt like I had nothing to worry about or think about because she had it all under control. I could truly let loose and enjoy the day. I had total confidence.
The most important thing to me was her work-style... expertise, confidence, organization, intensity, and extremely timely responses. I wanted someone on-top of it. Top notch service. Krista is extremely professional and knows exactly what she is doing. Many people don't meet my expectations. I am very particular about how I like things and about the people I chose to work with and I wish everyone could work like her. I would/will recommend her to anyone, any day.
My # 1 tip, and I confirmed this with my Mom, is to hire Krista if you want a stress free, amazing wedding. I have gone over it in my head a million times, thinking about what the wedding would be like without you and it makes me nauseous! You can plan, but if you are a detail-oriented perfectionist, you must hire a wedding coordinator to truly enjoy the day."

"Hiring Krista was the best decision I made during my wedding planning process. She took over six weeks before my wedding day, and in this time took all the pieces I had gathered and made it all WORK! Before Krista came into my life, I was becoming more and more confused and frightened the closer my wedding day approached. The moment she started working on my wedding I was confident in her ability to make my wedding exactly what I wanted – she knows what she is doing, knows my venue, and is oh-so-organized. She went along with all my ideas, and gently molded them into a way that made sense and made everything work together.
Her performance during the wedding was also incredible. She kept me calm, made sure everyone knew what was going on, and provided an overall sense that nothing could go wrong because she was prepared for absolutely anything. I had so much fun at my wedding and I credit Krista for allowing me to relax and enjoy it because I knew that everything was under control in her hands. It was the best wedding ever.
THANK YOU KRISTA!! All I can say is you have been AMAZING! I don't know how I would have survived this without you. Thank you Krista for making it perfect!!! You are the best! xoxo"

"You were such an important part of our wedding. As our month-of coordinator, you stepped in at the most stressful time and made it all come together. You created the most detailed timeline I’ve ever seen (seriously – EVER seen) and made sure everyone from the band, make-up artist, photographer— even FAMILY— knew exactly where to be and when. No one had to ask 'where should I be' or 'who is taking home the gifts' or the million other questions that pop up in the final hours of planning because you covered every detail.
You are a consummate professional and have the ability to instruct people and get things done while at the same time being completely fun and hilarious to work with. You kept me on track with worksheets that documented each vendor and piece of the wedding, and asked questions that I didn’t even know to think of. I’d be happy to talk to anyone who is considering working with you about the million reasons they need to bring Krista Malinin into the mix."

“There are so many words that I can use to describe Krista and her work ethics. First and foremost, she was always enthusiastic in everything she did or took on. Her smile was infectious and always put someone at ease. She has a very kind and gentle manner about her, yet Krista always had a firm grip on situations. She was extremely attentive to duty and was very caring in every element that came her way. Reliable is always a word that comes to mind when referring to Krista. She is driven, professional, and willing to bend-over-backwards to make everything and anything happen in an efficient manner. Anyone who hires her on will be pleasantly surprised… and then some!”
