Meet Elevated by K&J

“Elevated by K&J was more than we could've ever imagined!! We truly would not have been able to pull off our special day without them. Their communication style was easy-going, thorough, and companionable throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly top-notch - they were thorough, proficient, and meticulous in every detail. Whether it was timely coordination, especially for a type B bride like myself, Krysten and Jae went above and beyond to put everything together while also making it fun!” - Jen W

Krysten made sure I didn't have a single worry on the wedding day, as she seamlessly handled any issues that came up behind the scenes. For example, when the venue coordinator forgot to coordinate with the florist about incorporating our purchased greenery, Krysten stepped in and took care of it. I was able to be fully present and blissfully in the moment the entire day, thanks to Krysten and her team gently carrying the load. If you're looking for a wedding planning team that will truly keep the bride in mind, I highly recommend Elevated by K&J LLC.
