“Our wedding day would not have been the same if it wasn’t for Kristina’s amazing prep work, and her team’s hard work the day of our wedding! She is such a sweet, passionate individual who literally puts 150% into your day for you. There were things I never would have thought of, that she brought up and smoothed over before they even became a thing. When we met with Kristina I felt like I was meeting a friend to talk about my wedding, and I think that’s because she truly cares about her couples and wants everyone’s day to be as flawless as possible. Having her, and her team be part of our day was the best decision we could have made, if you are getting married, hire her, seriously, you won’t regret it!”
DANIELLE + TRAVIS
“Kristina and her team did an amazing job ensuring our wedding day was perfect. She was very thorough, organized, prompt and professional from the month leading up to the wedding, the day of, and tying any loose ends following. I cannot say enough positive words about our experience, especially with planning a wedding in PEI from Alberta. She communicates effectively and efficiently, set-up our venues with exactly the visions we had in mind, and truly thought of everything. I cannot imagine what my wedding day would have been without her and the beautiful decorations we used through her company as well. Our families even made comments on how friendly, professional, and efficient her and her team were on the wedding day! Thank you so much Kristina for everything, we are so incredibly grateful!”
JANNA + SHAWN
“We both absolutely loved everything about our wedding day!! Thank you so much for everything. You were amazing! We love our guest book, it’s perfect. And thank you for not only helping to make everything run super smoothly the day of, but for also taking the time to clean up my dress, fix my hair and even glue my lashes back on. We are so happy you were there to spend the day with us. ”
JESSICA C
“Kristina truly takes immense pride in what she does. She goes above and beyond regardless if you hired her for your entire wedding planning process or if you need anything made to make your special day that much more special. She was a lifesaver for our wedding day this summer and was there to answer and questions and ease any concerns leading up to the big day. I would HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a wedding coordinator, contact this amazing woman. Kristina, thank you!”

Being able to be present and enjoy our wedding day was invaluable and something we are so grateful for.
“Kristina is an incredible wedding planner; there is no detail that she doesn't think of, she keeps everything organized during the process and on the day, and ensures that the timeline runs smoothly from start to finish. Kristina provided wonderful support, guidance, and recommendations that made our vision for our dream wedding come to fruition. My husband and I had a stress-free wedding planning process and wedding day because we were in such good hands. Being able to be present and enjoy our wedding day was invaluable and something we are so grateful for. Kristina and the Elysian team are all so kind, talented, and a pleasure to be around. We did the bespoke package, commissioner service, and decor through Elysian Wedding & Events. Highly recommend!”

“One of my favourite things about working with Kristina was seeing the passion and joy she gets from her job. Your wedding day is just as important to her as it is to you (if not more) and she really goes above and beyond to make it special! Kristina and her team work their booties off but never complain and are so clearly beyond happy to be doing it! It was truly a privilege to get to work with Elysian Weddings!!”
VENDOR LOVE NOTES
“There is no one I would recommend more on the Island (or anywhere for that matter) than Kristina at Elysian Weddings and Events. Not only is Kristina an unbelievable wedding planner, she is also an officiant and has married many of her clients while simultaneously planning their day flawlessly. As a fellow vendor in the industry, it’s so easy to see that everything Kristina does is done with passion and I admire her deeply for that. She is adored by her clients and pours so much of her time and energy into getting to know them and giving them the best experience she can. Often times her hard work is done behind the scenes and may go unnoticed, however she still smiles through it all and ensures her clients have the wedding they always dreamed of.”

“If you want the best of everything - with flawless execution and a vendor who treats your special day like it was her own wedding - you need to reach out to Kristina and her team. I have worked with Kristina on many projects now, and can attest to her amazing organizational skills, kind and supportive demeanour and her ability to thrive in chaotic situations. Congrats on all of your success and accomplishments Kristina - hard work and passion always pays off!!”

“Kristina is so much more than a wedding planner, she goes above and beyond on all occasions. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication are just amazing.
Hiring Elysian will be, hands down, the best decision you will make for your wedding day.”

Kristina is a master at building strong relationships, not only with her clients, but with the entire wedding community. She is the ultimate source of knowledge and creative vision.
“When I look back on my wedding day, there are so many beautiful memories that I will always cherish. One of those memories is Kristina! Kristina is a master at building strong relationships, not only with her clients, but with the entire wedding community. She is the ultimate source of knowledge and creative vision.
As someone who is often lost in the details, on my wedding day I felt nothing but excitement and anticipation to be with my husband to be. This is because Kristina had shown me over our months of planning that I could trust her and talented team. She has become more than just my Wedding Planner, she is my friend who I know cares deeply for me and my husband. This is something money simply can’t buy!
To any couple thinking about hiring Elysian Weddings, do not hesitate. It will be the best decision you will make, outside of choosing each other of course. “

We were completely blown away, from the big, to tiny details she not only took care of but owned like a boss.

“Elysian Weddings & Events is the absolute best. Kristina is freaking amazing at what she does and literally made our day absolutely perfect. We were completely blown away, from the big, to tiny details she not only took care of but owned like a boss. At dinner my husband looked at me and said "we would have been f*cked without Kristina. She was worth every penny." I would argue that she should charge more!!! She is the sweetest human, and amazing to have around and I miss talking to her so much! She was such a huge part of our day and we're so grateful for her. Seriously hire her. Don't hesitate!!!”

I didn’t know I needed a wedding planner but I have no idea how I would have done it without her.

“Kristina was absolutely amazing during the planning and execution of our wedding. I didn’t know I needed a wedding planner but I have no idea how I would have done it without her. She’s incredibly detail oriented and a perfectionist. She literally has thought of everything you could possibly consider when planning a wedding and you can be as hands-on or hands-off with her depending on your preference. I preferred letting her make a lot of decisions for me and a lot of times my answer was, “whatever you think looks good!” I had absolutely no concerns or worries about my wedding and was able to enjoy the experience and having our friends and family here without having to worry about any last minute details. I 100% recommend Kristina to anyone planning a wedding!”

She’s an absolute doll and I’d recommend her 1000 times over! She’s an overall joy and you won’t be disappointed!!

“Kristina always goes above and beyond for her clients and she makes sure everything is done - and done right! She is the ultimate and will do anything from makeup touch ups to even MC at your wedding if you’re missing one (I know from personal experience haha). She’s seriously amazing and hands down the best investment I made on my wedding day as it just took so much stress off my shoulders. She stayed until the night was done and made sure every last detail was organized and ran smoothly. She’s an absolute doll and I’d recommend her 1000 times over! She’s an overall joy and you won’t be disappointed!!”

“Kristina and her team are absolutely amazing. We worked closely with her to plan the most beautiful wedding through a pandemic and on the day of our wedding it was a hurricane. With everything going on around us we felt zero stress on our big day. Kristina took us under her wing and turned into a great friend! We are so thankful for you.”
KELSEY + BRADY
“At first, I thought that we wouldn’t need help with planning and executing our wedding, but even after our first meeting, I know that Kristina is going to make our day so relaxed and help us make our vision a reality. She is a wealth of knowledge with regards to vendors, hotels, transportation and everything in between, which is especially helpful for us, since we’re planning from New Brunswick. I can’t wait for our wedding, and I’m so thrilled to continue to have Kristina’s support leading up to the big day!”
KRISTEN + SPENCER
“Kristina has been absolutely amazing during my wedding planning process! As an event planner myself, it's hard to let go of the little details of being a perfectionist and allowing someone else to taken reins over everything! To feel so comfortable working with someone has been an absolute treat! Thanks for everything that you and your team do! You guys rock!”
CARMEN + RANDY
“Kristina is the best thing we did for our wedding! We were planning from away and she helped tremendously as our month-of coordinator, thinking of everything so I didn't have to. When another vendor left us in a bad spot at the last moment, Kristina literally saved the day and continued to go to bat for us long after the vows were over and the lights were out. We can't thank her enough and would most definitely urge anyone getting married on the island to hire her immediately, and even before you hire any other vendors!”
MEGAN + AARON
“Hiring Kristina and her team is the best thing you can do when planning your wedding! I am so glad I had them not just on the day but leading up to it. I am such a worrier but knowing I had Kristina took all of those feelings away. They handled everything on the day without me knowing there were any hiccups at all! There was only a short time to decorate my venue and her team made it more beautiful than I could have planned. Thank you Elysian Weddings & Events for taking care of everything and allowing me to enjoy my day!!”

Kristina is an absolute GEM in the PEI wedding industry.

“As a type A, I was struggling with the decision to hire a coordinator or manage the day of coordination of our wedding myself. Our wedding was DIY, including handmade elements, decorating a tent for 150+ people, and catering our own meal. Without Kristina and Elysian I am not sure how we would have pulled it off! Kristina made sure everything was executed flawlessly, and when situations arose (you have to expect something to go wrong!) she managed them in calm, quick response. Kristina had my full trust and confidence in her abilities from our first meeting. I am still amazed at how easy it was to hand over the responsibility of coordinating our special day. I am not sure I could have handed it off to anyone else! My husband has commented that Elysian was the best decision we made in the planning of our wedding. It allowed us to have fun, enjoy the details we had worked so hard on, and the time to focus on each other and our guests. Kristina is an absolute GEM in the PEI wedding industry.”

“Kristina was the best investment we made for our wedding day. She helped us in every aspect of the day. Anything that could have gone wrong she had already thought it through and was one step ahead of us! She helped us find high quality vendors within our budget, Some were even discounted. We chose to have Kristina do the decor package and we could not have been happier with the results. The room was flawless, I even think we saved money having her decorate and using her beautiful inventory vs purchasing our own or renting. From the day we hired Elysian we had Kristina and her team by our side every step of the way. They made our wedding completely stress free. All we had to do was enjoy ourselves. Do not hesitate on having Elysian work with you- it will be hands down the best decision you make.”

“Elysian Weddings eased any worries I had from the first email (which she promptly answered and set up a phone meeting), to the first phone call and of course on the day of the wedding. Kristina is extremely professional, detailed and creative. Every person that was around her leading up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding was so so impressed by her work ethic and flexibility. Kristina did anything and everything to help make our day amazing and stress free. Many of the things that she did or small accidents that she fixed I didn't even know about until later which made my day a dream. From picking up important parts of our wedding day, creating gifts for my bridesmaids, suggesting or adding decor, setting up, timing everyone properly, ensuring we all looked good, fixing music and electrical cords, staying and helping to clean up well into the night and the list goes one; you name it and Kristina was there to do it with a smile on her face. I was hesitant in the beginning to hire a wedding planner but having Elysian Weddings as a part of our day was one of the best wedding decisions I made (besides my husband). The day would have been a lot more panic filled and stressful without her expertise!”
SIMON + SHANNON
“Kristina is absolutely amazing! She is so helpful, thoughtful, sweet, and really knows how to handle all situations to make things run so smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone planning a wedding--she is the best!”

“I could not have imagined our wedding running nearly as smoothly as it did with Kristina. Her and the Elysian team were so easy going and so helpful. As a professional in the industry myself, I am always excited to hear that Kristina will be working at a wedding that I am shooting. Kristina is an amazing wedding vendor that is an essential for any couple on their wedding day. Thank you Kristina! We highly recommend you.”

“I can't imagine my wedding day without having Kristina and her Elysian team running the show! As an overwhelmed bride trying to plan a wedding, as soon as I reached out to Kristina I immediately felt a sense of relief. I have never met someone as creative, passionate and kind as Kristina, and having her with us for the day was just like having a new best friend by my side. She helped calm my nerves, direct people to where they needed to be, got grass stains out of our flower girls dresses (before we even knew it had happened!), and SO much more! There really was not a single thing I needed to worry about knowing Kristina and her giant bag of goodies were there! A month later and I'm still bragging about how absolutely amazing she was and how perfect our day was, all thanks to her! ”
CHRISTINE + JASON
“I wasn’t originally planning on getting a wedding coordinator thinking I could do it all myself and with the help of close family/friends, but I am SO glad I decided to book Kristina one month out. She was phenomenal, planning every little detail, taking care of unexpected last minute tasks, going above and beyond to make our day perfect! She even ran some errands for us the day before the wedding to add some extra special touches! She worked closely with me throughout the planning, calming my worries and putting my mind at ease, which is so important - it allowed me to enjoy myself! She worked so well with all of our other vendors and brought everything together so seamlessly - her services were honestly worth every single penny and then some! I highly recommend her for your wedding! She is a sweetheart with a wonderful personality and has the skills required to pull off your dream day and make it effortless for the couple!”
HEIDI + JT
“My experience with Kristina and Elysian Weddings has been amazing! Kristina is incredible at what she does and her passion for wedding planning shines through in everything she does. From the very beginning, Kristina has taken the time to get to know what we are envisioning and what is most important to us. She has saved me from many panic-stricken moments, even designing our awesome save the dates! The only thing as fantastic as Kristina's work ethic is her warm and kind personality. I feel so lucky to have Elysian to help me along this journey!”
HELEN + CASS
“As if planning a wedding isn't stressful enough, planning from the other side of the country would have been so much worse without Kristina. Hiring Elysian Weddings was one of the best decisions we made! Kristina made sure our vision was executed perfectly, down to the tiniest detail. She took the pressure off of ourselves, family and friends, and made it so the only thing we had to worry about the day of the wedding was having fun and embracing every moment. I don't think we can ever thank Kristina enough for everything she did for us, her passion and joy for what she does shines through in her work. If you are hesitating in hiring a wedding planner, I encourage you to not think twice and just do it! I promise, it is worth it.”
LYNN-MARIE + TODD
My husband and I decided to book Kristina so I could relax and have someone else minding the little details! I decided to contact Kristina because I had noticed her replies to a lot of wedding related questions on a local Facebook page. Being a small business owner myself, I was impressed with her professionalism and willingness to put herself out there to help build a name for herself and her brand.
I had the majority of our wedding planned when I first met with Kristina but each time we met, Kristina ensured everything was organized and ready to go. She mentioned things we hadn’t really considered so it was wonderful to chat with someone that knows weddings on PEI so well! This allowed us to feel prepared and ensure every last detail was considered.
We were very pleased with the attention to detail and personalized service from Kristina. She was always available and ready to help regardless of when I emailed or texted!
The day of our wedding I enjoyed not directly worrying about a time line (which Kristina had down to the minute!!), not organizing where everyone had to be, and I didn’t have to worry about communicating with the venue people/musicians etc as Kristina looked after all of this while we enjoyed our guests!! Kristina was someone I trusted that I knew would have it all the done way I requested. I felt our day was smooth and it went as planned - and I was able to enjoy it all !
She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her services for anyone planning a wedding!
JESSI + BRODIE
“We can't put into words how much we would recommend Kristina at Elysian Weddings! She is very detailed, creative, talented and has to be one of the sweetest thoughtful people I know. Our wedding went so smoothly because of her, any questions or concerns we had she always promptly figured out. It was great meeting with her talking about different ideas and seeing little things she made for our day. She was so easy to talk to it was like having a friend helping you plan your day every step of the way. I forgot something borrowed and blue the day of so she quickly made little blue bows for my heels and let me borrow a special stone of hers and she wrapped it into my bouquet! All throughout the morning people would say they forgot something or needed something and she always had whatever it was no matter how random in that magic emergency bag of hers ! She gave us a very detailed lay out of our day which seemed to go flawlessly, knowing what was happening helped settle a lot of our nerves for the day. Every time someone needed something Kristina was right there to help, I had cake put all over my face during the cake cutting, I turned around and she was already prepared with a wet wipe for me to help get it off! Lol. Elysian Weddings made our signs and decor and it looked beautiful, we couldn't have wished for better people to work with. During and after the wedding we received so many compliments of the great job they did, we had people who are engaged say they will definitely be booking her for theirs. We are so happy we had chosen Elysian, and we highly recommend Kristina to help anyone with their special day!”
ANGELA + MORGAN
“My husband and I both agree that Elysian Weddings was the best money we spent for our wedding day. We were both able to relax and really enjoy every aspect of our celebrations. I was truly surprised how relaxed I was on our wedding day. This is because I knew I could trust Kristina to manage anything that came up and she did.
Kristina went above and beyond our expectations and continues to do so even after our big day has past. She is organized, detail oriented, and hardworking and it is evident in all aspects of her services. I would highly recommend Elysian Weddings to any bride or groom.”
ASHLEY + JONATHAN
“Now that we're three-weeks post wedding, I feel like I can finally put into words how I feel about Kristina and her services. Every step of the way throughout our two-year engagement, Kristina was encouraging and helpful. Once she got her certification, I scooped her up immediately to help me out. From advice on how to tip my vendors, to making sure the venue looked just right - she was there. On the day of, I forgot pens for my guestbook and she went and bought some and I never knew there was a problem. She skillfully tackled every issue with grace and we had "the best" day as a result. She kept me calm, took my lists and spreadsheets in stride, and truly helped beyond anything I expected of her. Thank you for everything Kristina.”
SARAH + MICHAEL
“I 100% recommend Elysian Weddings and Events. Some people are not cut for wedding planning or weddings in general (me) - Kristina was so kind and patient through our entire preparation/execution. As someone who just had no desire for the big wedding scene, We stumbled upon the Mini Wedding idea, it was perfect for us. The entire team on board was amazing at making us feel this was the right decision. I can’t thank you enough for everything!”
BETHANY + DYLAN
“Kristina made our “mini” wedding fabulous. We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Kristina collaborated with such talented professionals of the PEI wedding industry to give us a simple but cherished and special “mini” wedding. She was always very responsive and helpful, answering all our questions and making sure what we wished for a small ceremony came true. Everything was planned perfectly, I did not have to think of anything. So easy and stress free I am forever thankful. 10/10 would recommend having Kristina and her team help you with your wedding dreams. And 10/10 would recommend having a “mini” wedding.”
