Heidi,
We can’t believe that it has already been almost three months since our wedding and we haven’t yet written to thank you so much for all of the hard work and love that you put into our wedding. It was perfect!!! Everything that we imagined, that we wanted happened, and everything looked so beautiful. The day ran so smoothly and we were just able to relax and enjoy the fun. You made us feel so confident that our wedding was in good hands and all of the people you recommended to us, Kat, Kim, the Limo Company, and the horse company were excellent. We feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful day and we could not have done it without either of you. We greatly appreciate all of the energy you put into our day and want to thank you for being so good at what you do!!

Hi Heidi,
I just wanted to say thank you for helping us put on such a wonderful wedding! We’ve had many people tell us that it was one of the most beautiful and fun events they had been too. Your services really helped the day go smoothly and allowed us and our families to just enjoy the day. And thank you for the lovely bottle of champagne in our suite!

Ms. Karissa Paxton put on a very special family celebration for us on April 25, 2009. (It was my husband's 70th birthday, our 40th wedding anniversary and our daughter's 30th birthday.)
Ms. Paxton assisted and carried out every aspect of the planning from the first of the year to the event date. She recommended sites and helped us choose the perfect venue, found fabulous jazz musicians, and secured a caterer who was beyond excellent. She helped guide me through site set up and decorations - from table settings to flowers to seating arrangements and party mementos.
I was relaxed and had a great time at my own party because I felt so confident in Ms. Paxton's abilities. She was at the party the entire time making sure all went smoothly and that every need was met.
The feedback and comments from our guests was beyond our expectations. After the party we actually received thank you notes for the terrific event - one quote was simply "wow."
Throughout the entire time we worked together. Ms. Paxton was professional, warm and reassuring, yet firm in her recommendations. She is an excellent listener and communicator. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together.
I can enthusiastically recommend Karissa Paxton for any special event planning and coordination.

Karissa at Coastside did a great job organizing a private party for me. She interviewed and selected the vendors, taking into account the budget but not compromising on the quality or service. She had excellent ideas about the decorations and general theme of the event, and she followed up with all of the contracted services to make sure they arrived on time and were prepared. There were no surprises and the event was a huge success. Thank you Karissa for a brilliant job...

Karissa,
Thank you for making our wedding into a beautiful dream come true. Without you, it would have been an unorganized mess, but thanks to you, we had the best day of our lives that went off without a hitch! With your expertise in building a time line, and your communication skills with the vendors (and family members), we didn't have to worry about anything except making sure we enjoyed ourselves. We were definitely able to do just that. We will never be able to thank you enough for giving us the perfect wedding!

Karissa,
Your advice and recommendations were superb. We appreciate all of your helpful hints that made our decision making as easy as possible. Without your knowledge and expertise our day would not have been nearly as special as it turned out to be. You took the stress out of everything, and really let us enjoy the day!!

No detail went unnoticed, and I can speak for everyone in saying that the day was 'perfect'. Thank you so much for your professionalism and hard work. You were definitely an easy person to work with and you helped to create a stress-free, fun, and exactly what we wanted wedding! Without a doubt, that day remains my most special memory.
Thank you again!
