Kristen and her team executed our wedding ceremony and reception wonderfully! Everything went off without a hitch, at least to our knowledge. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy our day and did not have to worry about details because Kristen made notes of how we wanted things and carried them out accordingly. We could not be more pleased with her and her team. Leading up to our wedding, Kristen was always very responsive and provided us with suggestions. She listened to our vision and led us in the direction that was best for us. She contacted all of our vendors and coordinated with them so that each vendor knew our timeline and vision. Kristen ran our rehearsal and made sure we knew exactly what to do for our big day. She also managed our large wedding party magnificently. We had 7 groomsmen, 7 bridesmaids, a 17 month old ring bearer, and our parents so she managed that handful very well! On the day of the wedding, Kristen personally stopped by our hotel and picked up our details and decor since our venue didn't allow us to store things overnight. The ceremony and reception decor were set up beautifully and just as we talked about. She checked in on us throughout the night and her team helped tear down the decor at the end of the evening. To cap the night, Kristen even arranged for our hotel suite to be freshened up so that we would come back to a clean room after an eventful day. Thank you, Kristen for all that you did for us! She is an absolute delight to work with and is clearly experienced in all things wedding. We would absolutely recommend Home Run Events! read more

From our late night meetings to go over our tasks leading up to the wedding and creating our day of timeline to being the calm energy we needed on this long awaited day for us. Her and her team truly understood our vision, coordinated with all of our vendors and truly made all of our pieces come to life! I would 100% recommend Kristen and her team! read more

ENLIST THEM ASAP!!! Kristen was the most fantastic planner anyone could dream of having!!! As someone who likes to plan their life down to the details, I didn't think anyone could "out plan" me but Kristen proved me wrong (in the best way possible!). We had so many issues with our venue being unresponsive, but Home Run Events handled it perfectly. When we updated our meal counts a few days before our venue walkthrough, Kristen came prepared with her own checklist AND she already knew the exact amounts of chicken/beef/vegetarian meals prior to the tour. She even went above and beyond in helping us find a more cost-effective linen company than the rental vendor we almost considered contracting. Overall, Home Run Events is an amazing planning company and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone! They made the whole event run smoothly, making the day the most memorable moment of our lives. read more

Thank God for Kristen! My husband & I were unsure if we needed a wedding coordinator for our small wedding of 60. We were certain we'd be okay with the help of our family & the restaurant event planner. Clearly we were wrong. Kristen helped in ways we never imagined. She CC'd me in all email confirmations with vendors, she provided a "Day of Wedding Emergency Kit", she gave practical advise on where things should be placed in the venue based off where outlets were placed & where photos would be look best (Again-- stuff we didn't even bother to think about), she made sure we were fed during photos, she would subtly cue when the MC had to make his announcements, she ensured nobody would bother me the day of the wedding, she remembered our favorite cocktail & provided that to us right after we got married-- she truly outdid herself. Because of her, my husband & I felt so pampered, so regal, so well taken care of-- truly just so high class. She is just an all around kind and genuine person; someone you can really trust. I really enjoyed collaborating with her. Thank you Kristen. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Words cannot express how thankful we are for Kristen and her team! They were a dream come true for our wedding! From the start, she listened to what our vision was and was easy to contact for anything, even if the wedding was still months away. She is very knowledgeable in all things wedding related, especially about what the current trends are and vendors for all budgets. Kristen was flexible with scheduling meetings and even met with us late at night due to our work schedules. When we met for our final walkthrough at the venue, she gave us great suggestions and made us even more excited for our wedding. She created a detailed timeline and connected with all of our vendors for all of the final details. She was at our rehearsal and led the whole thing, telling us where to stand, how to walk, how the day would go. We were able to give her and her team the decorations on the day of the rehearsal so that we wouldn't have to worry about it on the day of. On the day of the wedding, she stopped by the hotel we were getting ready at to check in with us and took my dress so that I wouldn't have to stress about getting it to the venue. Kristen made sure we didn't run into each other until the first look, made sure we were fed, and coordinated with all of the vendors to make sure everything was set up as we envisioned it. Our wedding day was SO perfect. She made sure every little hiccup was resolved quickly so that we weren't even aware of it. We can honestly say that we were not stressed at all on the day of the wedding because she took control and did such an amazing job. So many of our guests are still raving about how smooth and fun our wedding was and it is honestly all thanks to Kristen and her team. read more

We are so happy and grateful we found Kristen and her team at Home Run Events! She came highly recommended by one of our other vendors and helped save our event from ruin. We had made an unfortunate hiring mistake earlier in our process and suddenly found ourselves without a Planner or Day-Of Coordinator two months before our wedding date. Kristen is an absolute professional who took us on fearlessly and also helped us pull it all together in record time. She is kind, considerate, compassionate, a great listener, well connected, and extremely detail-oriented. Her approach is quite modern and the planning process just flowed so much easily with her. Previous pain points became none issues. It was such a relief to find her and we cannot thank her enough for her services! Our special day was almost perfect. We just know if Kristen and her team had been involved from day one, it would have been. We truly wish we had found her first and highly recommend her. read more

There isn't enough space to write enough compliments, accolades, gushing words about this exceptional event planning, coordinating, executing, customer-centric company. We chose HRE because our venue required an event coordinator and recommended Kristen and her company as one option among many. Wow. Wow. Wow. Every single step of the way, Kristen was already 4 steps ahead. She had creative ideas and solutions for every scenario. She communicates constantly, early and clearly. She anticipated my needs before i knew I had them. The lead up to our daughter's wedding was planned to perfection and the execution day-of was incredible. Every time I turned around she and her team were at my elbow making sure they were ahead of everything before I could even think about needing them. Kristen and her teams's customer-centricity are incomparable. I host A LOT of corporate and social events and was truly resistant to the idea or hiring an event coordinator and truly would never have done so without the venue requirements. Boy was I wrong. Kristen and her team were like nothing I have ever seen. I am happy to provide any specific details about their service if you would like more information. I can't recommend them enough!! read more

I've personally known Kristen since high school -- fast forward to over a decade later, when I found out that she was a wedding coordinator/planner, I RAN over to her and asked her to be ours for our big day. No surprises, my (now) husband and I have absolutely NO regrets. Kristen is extremely upbeat, calm, personable, EXTREMELY organized, experienced, patient, adaptable, and the list goes on. She was also transparent with us from the start, informing us that it would be her first wedding at our venue (Coto de Caza racquet club); however, she exuded so much confidence and reassured us that that would not be an issue. Through our wedding planning meetings and discussions, I've learned that she had reached out to her planner friends who had previous experience(s) with our venue to get some tips, which literally tells you what type of person she is :') She truly cares about her work and her clients. Given the number of years of her experience, Kristen is extremely insightful when you are planning for your signage and other details. For instance, I had initially envisioned card board seating chart signs and place cards; however, she shared with me that with an outdoor wedding, those signs can be blown away (it's the little things but when you're a bride/groom planning for millions of other details, you don't even realize things like this!). She just has a calming presence that reassures you every step of the way during this process, especially during the week of your wedding, the night before, and morning/day of. In addition, during the week of our wedding, she handled all of the finer/final details with our vendors herself, which was a huge help for us, as we were already stressed with so many other things. She also made sure the day of our wedding went as smoothly as possible and had all of the important things packed and ready to go before the night was over. Anytime I had asked her for something, she had already done the deed! Even my bridal party shared with me that Kristen and her assistant the day of were A++++. I am so grateful to have worked with Kristen for our big day because it was truly one of the best days of our lives. Without her, I would not have been smiling ear to ear as evidenced in our photos from that day. You guys will NOT regret choosing Kristen and the HomeRunEvents team to be your vendor, I pinky promise! read more

Kristin did an excellent job as our wedding coordinator! We began working closely with her 3 months out from the big day. Through our Zoom Calls and emails, she was very professional and offered many suggestions and tips. She followed up with all of our vendors as promised and made sure they all were in the loop regarding details and specifics for the wedding day. She executed being a coordinator beautifully on the big day, and her assistants were so nice and helpful! I didn't hesitate asking questions or help on the wedding day, I knew she'd step up to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. My husband and I couldn't recommend Kristin more! read more

At first I did not really think we needed a wedding planner because I thought it was pretty straight forward. I was completely wrong! Kristen was new at the time but if she would have never told us we would have never known! She went beyond our expectation! I honestly don't think this wedding would've gone as smoothly if it wasn't for Home Run Events. Any time my wife and I got stressed Kristen was always there to calm us down. The wedding planner is probably the best thing you could get for your wedding. So if you are thinking or looking for one then go with Home Run Events and it would be the best decision you and your significant other could make besides getting married of course! Thank you Kristen again so much for everything you have done for us! Like I always tell you, this would not have been possible without you! read more

Kristen helped us plan our wedding that took place May of 2023. I was in the middle of a masters program, wedding planning, and juggling work so I was worried about my time and organization when it came to the wedding. Meeting Kristen was the best thing that happened to my husband and I during this process by helping us remain organized with an online planner and remaining available to contact if we had questions. The process was seamless and feel like her and her team are definitely our top vendor of our wedding day by also helping us take the wheel in decor but being able to set it up as we wanted and had envisioned. My friends and family even took notice and my maid of honor felt it appropriate to personally thank Kristen for all the work her and her team put in for us that day that all the things i thought I'd be worried about were easily taken care of. Truly unforgettable and stress free! I only have good things to say about this team! read more

If you are planning a wedding in the greater OC area, you NEED to see if Kristen is available. Home Run Events was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Kristen was involved early on to help us plan our vision for the day. She had great ideas, professional tips, and a comprehensive task list. She went above and beyond when it came to crunch time with the seating chart, using Aisle Planner to get everything organized perfectly. She also has a great inventory of extra decor items which saved a lot of hassle and money! When it came to the day of, Kristen and her assistants were on it. The day ran smoothly and they went above and beyond to make it so easy on me (the bride), the groom, and our families. We had guests coming up to us all day to say this was one of the smoothest weddings they've seen- and we know that is largely thanks to Kristen and her team! read more

Kristen did an absolutely amazing job organizing my sister's wedding in LA. She is extremely patient, highly organized, and has an immaculate attention to detail. She tackled both wedding day events like a rockstar and made the entire weekend feel seamless and perfect. Her wonderful mother even came to help and they honestly felt like our family by the end of it all. I highly recommend Kristen for ANY event. You're in fantastic hands with her and her events crew. read more
