Kristen and Claire made our wedding incredibly painless. They were in constant contact with us, and made sure everything ran smoothly, even when speed bumps arrived. They were constantly reminding us "This is your day, we are here to make sure it goes perfectly," and they did. We are so happy they were there for us during our special weekend. Thank you!
Kristen and Claire were fantastic planners/coordinators for our November 2025 wedding! Their calm, positive dispositions set us at ease as they ran everything seamlessly. Before the wedding, they answered plenty of questions and guided me when we had to make a major change to our schedule. Communication between them and our vendors was strong. They were also amazing about checking in with us throughout the day to make sure we didn't need anything! I truly couldn't imagine what the day would have been like without them!
Literally the most magical amazing and well put together wedding so grateful for such a fabulous team. Kristen went above and beyond to handle all needs and worries. My wedding day was a breeze. No issues at all and was on time .Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married or having a special event..
Thank you for making our day special and stress free!

If you're searching for a wedding planner who will care about your day as much as you do, look no further than PK Weddings and Events. Kristen didn’t just help plan our wedding—she honored my heart. From weaving in personal touches involving my son and granddaughter to coordinating all my Pinterest-worthy dreams, she made sure everything was meaningful and magical.
She also made sure our guests were well-fed and had plenty to drink—no detail was too small. Kristen is truly the blessing I didn’t even know I needed, and her partner in crime, Claire Pizzuto, is equally amazing. Claire brought humor, warmth, and those gentle reminders of what really matters throughout the day.
Kristen and her team are worth every single penny. I’ve already recommended them to everyone I know—and I’ll keep doing it!

Kristen and team at PK Weddings did such an amazing job helping to plan our day in less than 6 weeks! Kristen is so responsive and the small elopement packages were just what we were looking for. Everything came together with ease and she was behind me every step of the way. She helped me ensure the vision for the day was met and everyone was properly communicated and coordinated with. I cannot thank her enough for such a wonderful day. I certainly would not have been able to pull it off with her help. If you are looking to plan your elopement in NOLA or Biloxi, this is the team you are looking for!
They handled everything and ensured my wedding ran smoothly. They set everything up, kept everything stress free and made my "vision" a reality. Everyone had an amazing time and I cannot speak highly enough about these ladies and their team!
Using PK Wedding and Events was an incredibly wise decision. Kristen took care of everything! She is quick and responsive and offers valuable advice. They also offer multiple packages that let you choose exactly what you’re looking for at your desired costs. All of the vendors that she works with were incredible and also responded quickly to all emails and texts. PK Wedding and Events enabled me to enjoy my wedding day with no stress!! I highly recommend them!!!
Kristen and the PK Weddings team were amazing to work with!! Kristen was the first person I spoke with after my husband and I decided to have a New Orleans destination wedding and she guided us and made the whole experience absolutely incredible!! I would recommend Kristen and her team to anyone wanting a NOLA wedding!! :)
PK Weddings and Kristen saved my wedding! Her professionalism, know-how, meticulousness, and care showed in every interaction. Quick back story - my wedding was planned and prepared to be on a well known NOLA riverboat. The team of said riverboat ended up needing to bring in PK Wedding due to
over promising and lacking the support and logistical knowledge base to fulfill the caliber of wedding I contracted for. Kristen basically saved the company at the last minute (invites had already gone out) by asking the right questions, managing up/down/across so that guests had no idea what a mess the riverboat team had made. I also appreciated her candor in what would actually be feasible and what I didn't know I needed to know. She was so kind in listening to my angst and disappointments that she had not caused. She worked well with my sister (who was my planner) and got far too many undeserving eye rolls from me, all of which she handled with a smile and managing expectations. Fixing problems she had not created, love a "matter of fact" girly! Just beyond thankful for Kristen. Our wedding was in March; I still get compliments to this day. There is not enough time or words to provided how highly I recommend!!
