Her Story
About Kristen
I am a wedding and event coordinator and planner who brings couples' visions to life from start to finish. I help them find vendors, venues, and create timelines, and I have an assistant who helps me out depending on the size of the wedding. I travel throughout Florida, going as far north as Ocala and over to Tampa, though I prefer to stay in Brevard County. I also do destination weddings - I just had a lovely couple from Maine. I've been doing events in different capacities for 20 years now. I started in upstate New York doing parties for school districts, charity fundraisers, and different events. When my own daughter wanted to get married, I realized this was what I wanted to do full-time. I worked as a venue manager and for a pest control company doing all their events and charity work before deciding to go out on my own with Signature Moments by Kristen. My passion is to take as much stress off my couples as I possibly can. I want them to enjoy their wedding, whether that's dealing with family situations or moms who want their wedding instead of their daughter's wedding. I love giving back to the community - I recently donated my services for a couple getting married where the groom has terminal cancer.

01What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge I'm facing is with the new generation. They either want to do it extremely cheap or instead of doing a full wedding, they're just having small elopement parties. I actually just did an elopement party this week where they eloped to Vegas and came back and had a party after. The new generation wants to do it as easily as they possibly can and save as much money as possible, and it's kind of hurting the wedding industry. I was talking to the DJ this past weekend about it, and how we're really struggling to keep costs down.
