Meet the Planner

Hi, I'm Kristina Oo

I began my career as a day-of coordinator, grew into leading events for multiple planning companies, and now bring that experience to my own couples as a seasoned planner and coordinator. Even before I entered the industry, I found myself stepping in for friends, organizing, guiding, and bringing order to their celebrations. It’s something I’ve always done, long before it became my profession.

I’m at my best when something unexpected happens. I love solving problems on the spot, so you can relax and enjoy your day.

My Process

A Clear, Supported Planning Process

Your wedding day should feel intentional, effortless, and deeply personal. My philosophy is rooted in hospitality, organization, and genuine connection, and my goal with every couple is the same: to honor your vision, elevate your ideas, and create a wedding day that feels like you.

Inquire & Consult

Tell me about your celebration. From the moment you reach out, my goal is to make the process feel clear and supportive.

Outline Your Needs

We talk through your vision, priorities, and how much support you want.

Finalize Your Package

We choose the service level that fits. A retainer secures your date, and the remaining balance is due 1 week before the event.

Build the Foundation

Timelines, vendor communication, and design alignment take shape.

Kind Words

Here's what couples say about working with me.

Every celebration is personal, and every couple deserves to feel supported throughout the planning process.

All I had to do was enjoy my time getting ready, and when I got to the venue, everything was handled. It was like I had this angel the whole night making sure everything was smooth and taken care of.

Ariela P.

She managed everything, from vendor arrival and set up, to staying ahead of anything that can (and did) go wrong… She is calm, professional, friendly, and very, very good at her job.

Daniella L.

Kristina kept me very organized with all the details and never made me feel overwhelmed. Very professional, patient, and kind through the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before We Begin

What's the difference between coordination, partial, and full planning?
  • Coordination: You plan the wedding, and I step in 30–45 days before to finalize details, build your timeline, coordinate vendors, and manage the wedding day.
  • Partial Planning: You lead the planning, and I guide you through key decisions, vendor selections, design alignment, and logistics throughout the process.
  • Full Planning: I support you from start to finish — vision, design, vendor sourcing, budget, logistics, and full wedding-day management.

Communication depends on your service level:

  • Coordination: We begin regular communication 30–45 days before your wedding, with check-ins as needed.
  • Partial Planning: Scheduled checkpoints throughout your planning journey, plus email support for questions and guidance.
  • Full Planning: Ongoing communication, monthly planning meetings, and consistent support throughout the entire process.

No matter your package, you’ll always feel informed, supported, and never left guessing.

Yes — I oversee setup of personal décor items such as signage, table numbers, favors, welcome table items, and ceremony details. For large-scale installations (florals, rentals, draping, lighting), I coordinate with your vendor team to ensure everything is placed correctly and on schedule.

Calm problem-solving is one of my strengths. Whether it’s a timeline shift, weather change, vendor delay, or unexpected hiccup, I handle issues quietly and efficiently so you can stay present and enjoy your day. Most couples never even know something changed.

A retainer is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due 1 week prior to the event date. All payment details are outlined clearly in your contract so you know exactly what to expect.
