What’s the difference between your services and a venue coordinator?
We are looking out for YOUR Best Interest. The venue coordinator is looking out for the best interest of the venue. A venue coordinator will ensure everything pertaining to the venue, such as the set up, bathrooms, ground, etc. is ready for your arrival. We will contact all your vendors prior to arrival to ensure all their details are confirmed and ready to go! We will be at your wedding from start to finish as well as be by your side throughout the entire day! A Venue Coordinator is not going to your “getting ready” location to make sure your bouquets are delivered, and you are on time for getting in your dress for pictures. We are hired by YOU, hand selected by YOU, and we will be there for YOU!

Testimonials
Recently, Kristen and her team coordinated our wedding. There are truly no words to describe her attention to detail as well as her creativity. Kristen visited our home and contacted us multiple times to ensure our event was EXACTLY what we were looking for. For a moment, let me speak to her integrity…After we agreed to a price and booked her services (and were very happy with that price), she called us a couple of weeks later and stated that, due to what we were looking for, she dropped the price several hundred dollars! Who does that!!! She is fantastic in every sense of the word. She was timely on the day of the wedding and had everything completely set up and looking absolutely awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I have had the pleasure of working with Kristen in designing, decorating and planning my daughter’s Weddings. Her ambition, loyalty, honesty and integrity make her an authentic individual. She has an innovative spirit, is detail oriented and organized. I recommend her services. In which she can contribute her remarkable creativity and dedication.
Kristen and Crafted Charm brought the vision in my head to life. With just a few Pinterest ideas, she was able to execute the wedding of my dreams. I hired her as my decorator and month of coordinator and she took over and allowed me to have a mostly stress free wedding planning experience. (I caused my own stress). Professional, thoughtful, and well organized! Best decision I made was hiring Crafted Charm!
We used Crafted Charm for our wedding in Charlotte, NC in July 2023. We couldn’t have had our perfect wedding without Kristen. She not only served as our wedding planner but she also had TONS of florals and decor in her personal warehouse to choose from when you pick her as your wedding planner. She has so many connections and experience in this industry which truly makes the entire process a breeze. I can promise that you will not be disappointed with Kristen’s work. She truly cares about her clients and it definitely does not go unnoticed!
Kristen made my day more beautiful than I ever pictured it possible! She was quick, professional, kind and did everything we talked about and then some. I was floored when I saw my aisle and the table decor and just every single touch, she made it just simply perfect.
Kristen is amazing! She was such a help in allowing me to enjoy my wedding. She took care of everything! I loved that I could ask her to handle things and know they were being handled! She is extremely professional and a fun person to be around. She took all of the stress out of it. The icing on the cake is that the prices were so reasonable for all the planning, design and set-up. I highly suggest using her if you actually want to enjoy your wedding!
