Looking For a Wedding Planner? Kristen is THE BEST!!

Your search for your Wedding Planner has come to an end: Kristen of Cedar and Stone is the absolute BEST!!

I'm a photographer in the Monterey Bay Area and beyond and always recommend Kristen to my couples. We've worked on both local and destination weddings and she knocks it out of the park every. single. time.

When I say she will do anything to make your day run smoothly, I mean it! I've witnessed her in action, solving problems other vendors created, coming up with creative solutions along the way, anticipating the needs of the couple before they have them...she's truly incredible!

She's not only creative and hard-working, she's also SO much fun to work with. I love any and every chance I get to work with her and am excited to work together on more wedding days this year!

If you're on the fence, let me assure you that you are in great, caring, capable, creative, supportive hands with Kristen.

Kristen is amazing. Super flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about all things wedding. We met every two weeks (3months out), and go over any pending task. She is so reliable! Kristen and her staff handled communications w/other vendors, provided tons of beautiful design ideas and tips on rental, floor plans and flow of the events from ceremony to reception.

I feel so lucky that we were able to book wedding planning with Cedar and Stone. On the wedding day, we were able to get ready and enjoy the day with minimal stress.
Two hour prior to the ceremony she and Trinity put up all the decorations, signs and table setting perfectly and everything was good to go!! Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went smoothly. She and her staff kept an eye out on what’s going on and took care any issues.

If you are looking for a planner, I highly recommend booking with Kristen 🙂

Kristen is simply THE BEST. She made the entire wedding planning process from start to finish seamless. I had a lot of nerves and anxiety leading up to the wedding and she made sure to focus on specific tasks at each of our check ins which really helped. She does BOTH planning and design!! She has endless ideas to elevate your day and how to bring personal elements into the focus throughout all areas of the wedding. Come day of, she knew exactly how I wanted things laid out and really took my theme to the next level; she even brought her own items to help fill in decor. Her day of coordination team is A+++. Things went flawlessly and Sean and I were able to just focus on celebrating our love with our closest friends and family. If you want someone that you can rely on and help make your wedding dreams come true, book Cedar and Stone!! - Nina and Sean Murphy

Absolutely thrilled to write this review for Kristen at Cedar and Stone Events! As a professional DJ company owner in San Francisco, I've had the pleasure of working with many wedding planners, but Kristen truly stands out. Her attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring every aspect of the wedding is flawlessly executed.

I was particularly impressed when she managed a wedding at City Hall in San Francisco, despite being based in Monterey. The way she handled the logistics, from coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline, was nothing short of excellent. Her dedication and professionalism made the event smooth and stress-free for everyone involved. I highly recommend Kristen and Cedar and Stone Events for anyone looking to have a perfectly orchestrated wedding.

My wife & I had the most incredible experience working with Kristen & her team as our wedding planner for our non-traditional Dyke wedding weekend! We interviewed a couple of folks prior to her and in our call we just knew it was the vibes we were looking for. Kristen is personable, professional and an overall beautiful human being we were more than happy to have throughout the whole process. Her connections to the the industry, experience in the field and can do attitude gave us so much confidence that she just had us. Highly recommend!

Kristen made wedding planning a breeze. She worked around our schedule and kept us on time with planning every detail of our wedding. From rentals to catering to little details in decoration, she helped us do it all. It literally felt like we were talking to a long time friend throughout this entire process. She was calm, she was always reassuring, she knew how to get things done, smoothly, and on time. All this was true on the day of our wedding as well. It was almost as if she saw the images in our head and displayed it in the garden. That’s how great she is. We highly recommend Kristen to everyone and we have already referenced her to friends and family that are planning a wedding as well.
