Title: Exceptional Party Planner: Kris Exemplifies Drive and Organizational Skills Review: I recently had the pleasure of working with Kris, a remarkable party planner, and I must say, her dedication, drive, and exceptional organizational skills truly left me in awe. From start to finish, Kris demonstrated an unwavering commitment to making my graduation party a memorable and stress-free event. One of the most impressive aspects of Kris's work ethic is her relentless drive. She exudes a passion for what she does, and it is evident in every detail of her planning. Kris went above and beyond to ensure that my graduation party exceeded all expectations. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it made the entire planning process enjoyable. What truly amazed me about Kris was her willingness to go the extra mile. Not only did she meticulously plan every aspect of the party, but she also stayed throughout the entire day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. What's even more incredible is that it was her birthday on the same day as my party, yet she selflessly dedicated herself to making my celebration unforgettable. Her commitment and dedication are truly commendable. Kris's organizational skills are nothing short of exceptional. She possesses a remarkable attention to detail, ensuring that no aspect of the event was overlooked. From the decorations to the food, everything was flawlessly executed. Kris's meticulous planning and ability to coordinate various vendors and service providers made the entire process seamless. Furthermore, Kris's presence throughout the entire event was invaluable. She was readily available, handling any last-minute adjustments with ease and grace. Whether it was managing the timing of the speeches, coordinating the entertainment, or attending to any unforeseen issues, Kris remained calm, composed, and in control. In addition to her professional competence, Kris's warm and friendly demeanor made her an absolute joy to work with. She listened attentively to my ideas, offered creative suggestions, and ensured that my vision for the party was brought to life. Kris's ability to connect with her clients and understand their needs sets her apart from the rest. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Kris as a party planner without hesitation. Her drive, organizational skills, and exceptional commitment to her clients are second to none. If you are seeking an individual who will go above and beyond to create an unforgettable event, look no further than Kris. I am immensely grateful for her dedication and hard work, and I can confidently say that she made my graduation party a resounding success. Thank you, Kris, for making my celebration unforgettable.

We cannot recommend Grace Celebrations enough! Kris is absolutely amazing! We hired her with fairly short notice, and she managed to make my daughters’ Frozen themed birthday party such a special celebration beyond what we could have imagined! As a mom with a newborn and 2 year old, I didn’t want to nor know where to begin to put together the pieces for my daughters birthday party and Kris took all the stress out of that process for us. She was very fun and easy to work with, she was professional and prompt, and she was conscious of keeping things within a reasonable budget yet making everything high quality and just perfect! My daughter and her friends had such a fun time as did the adults and it absolutely couldn’t have been pulled together without Kris in such a magical way. I will be recommending her to all of my friends looking to have any events and we will be using her services for all parties that we plan to host in the future! Thank you again for everything!

Details: Child's birthday party • 25 guests or fewer • Partial planning (help in select areas) • Cleanup • Day-of coordination • Decor rental • Setup • Catering • Less than one month • My home, venue, etc.

This is the second birthday party we’ve hired Kris for and she of course knocked it out of the park again! We did a “young, wild and three” theme for my daughter and it was absolutely incredible what she was able to come up with for the vision and execution. Kris is always, professional, punctual, responsive, thorough, easy to work with, direct and cost conscientious. She goes above and beyond with her time, energy and effort before the party and day of to make it all come together seamlessly. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kris she truly is a gem and for anyone looking to have any type of celebration, you definitely want to choose her to help plan it! She will make it a magical, stress free event which is exactly what we were hoping for.

Kris was fantastic to work with for day of coordination of our micro-wedding. She made sure that the room was set up perfectly and went above and beyond in adding final touches. We had envisioned a certain flower arrangement on the tables and when she believed that the arrangements weren’t up to par, she went out herself and bought additional arrangements which made all the difference in bringing the room together. She also took videos during the event which we never asked her to do but now we have such special memories to cherish forever. Thank you, Kris!

Details: 1 - 4 months in advance (includes day-of coordination and vendor coordination) • 20 guests or fewer • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the project. I don't have a set price. It depends on how many hours would be required to research , coordinate and work the celebration. Once we discuss the details I will be able to quote a price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We discuss the kind of event, the feel and look that the client is trying to achieve. Whether it be for a small dinner party to a large event. We review the budget and start moving towards the goal. Depending on the budget and depth of the event will determine what next steps we take.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been planning events for over 20 years from small intimate dinner parties to weddings with 300 guests. I also do corporate luncheon events.
