I found Kim online after I searched for a wedding planner for a wedding I had 3 months to plan. I told her everything I wanted and she executed all of my ideas perfectly. She is resourceful and very attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. Planning a wedding in three months wasn’t apart of my original plan but with all of her help, I have no regrets, it was exactly what we wanted.

Hey Krystina, Thank you so so much for your incredibly kind review. We had such a blast helping you and Teddy put together your wedding after your original plans had to be canceled because of COVID. You were the absolute sweetest the entire process even with all the hurdles we dealt with. But at the end of the night, your wedding was perfection. I cannot wait to watch your family grow :-) So much love, KimShana Feibus

Kim Pestalozzi was my day of coordinator for my NYC wedding in August. The day ran smoothly and Kim was essential in making that happen. She anticipated my every need and was always thinking 10 steps ahead. Kim pretty much spent the day racing around, but when I needed her she was there within moments. She was prompt and professional at all times. Kim came prepared with a bag full of items that you might need but hadn't thought to bring. We were a very large group and Kim made it seem so easy managing us. Several of my bridesmaids later told me that Kim was amazing and so helpful. My mom later told me that she had no idea how we could have done anything that day without Kim. Thank you so much Kim!!!

"Kim is the best," is a phrase my husband and I must have said to each other minimum 100x in our short 4-week wedding planning process.
In a pre-Covid world, we were going to spend 10 months planning a 140 person wedding in California. In the stark reality of 2020, we ended up spending 4 weeks planning a 25 person wedding in our New York backyard. We were worried that with the short timeline, the much smaller budget, Covid restrictions, and the stunted guest list, the wedding wouldn't feel real. We'd have our real wedding in California.
Enter Kim, a superhuman magician (or behind the scenes: an incredibly hardworking creative and organizational genius) who pulled together the most perfect day.
//She understood our vision immediately. I'd show her a picture of something I liked -- just as general inspiration -- and within hours she'd send me back something I could actually rent/buy that matched the picture almost exactly.
//She respected our budget. She was so adept ... Read more

Kim was absolutely amazing to have on the day of my wedding. She was beyond professional and responsible, managing to ensure the entire day ran smoothly–all while having an amazing attitude that kept everyone in great spirits! I cannot recommend her enough and am lucky to have had her as part of our special day!

Kim was the coordinator for our November wedding and we LOVED working with her. She handled every one of our wedding twists and turns like a champ and was magically always there when we needed her. She worked with all of our vendors seamlessly and made it all look easy. Every single thing was in it’s right place—with little to no instructions from us (the overwhelmed bride and groom). We can’t imagine any other human doing a better job. When we left at the end of the night we were sad to see her go, but happy to have known her for a few hours. Couldn’t recommend more.

Hey Josh! Thank you so much for your amazing review. Your wedding was truly unforgettable to me- I was blown away by all the personal touches with the temporary tattoos and your friends' hilarious song. It's clear how close and in love you and Katina are and the kind of incredible life you will build together. I wish you all the best, happy new year!Jennifer B

Kim is a born planner, and will go above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect! No aspect of your wedding will go overlooked, and she will spend countless hours making sure that you are happy. She created a day-of timeline for my wedding, and everything went super smoothly with her keeping us on schedule. She also introduced me to both a videographer and alterations company that were a perfect fit, literally. Even if attending a wedding as a guest, she can’t help but jump into action to make sure no detail goes unnoticed. Your wedding will be in the best possible hands with Kim as your planner, and your day will be one that you will treasure forever!

Awe Jenn thank you so much for your kind review! I love your love story and I was so honored you and Marouane let me be part of your special day. I don't think I've cried as much during vows as I did at yours. You could feel the passion and fight you two have for each other and what it took to get down that aisle. I wish you both so much happiness!Katerina Slootsky

Kim was the perfect day-of coordinator on our wedding day. I knew I could rely on her and didn't feel stressed throughout the day knowing she's there to help take care of things. There is absolutely no way we could have managed to have a calm and joyful wedding day without having Kim there taking care of us. Do yourself a favor, get a day of coordinator and most importantly hire Kim.

Hey Kat! Thank you so much for your kind review. Your wedding was so gorgeous surrounded by all the natural beauty. Your first dance with Ed out by the water is still my favorite of all time! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your special day. All the best!Sharon B

We can’t say enough about how incredible Kim was during our wedding weekend. We had a 3-day celebration, including a 130-person welcome party at the bride’s parents’ house the day before the wedding, 150 guests at the wedding, and a farewell brunch for all the guests (also at the parents’ house) the day after, and having on-site coordinators was essential. From the beginning, we knew that we wanted to handle the planning/general direction of our wedding weekend ourselves, and wanted someone to help execute on the day of so that we could enjoy everything and spend time with our guests. Kim and her team were exactly what we needed at a really fair price that easily fit within our budget. They walked us through every detail in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and Kim executed everything to perfection. The whole team was extremely professional, organized, and on top of every detail. We didn’t have to worry about anything and could just have fun the entire weekend. We c... Read more

Kim coordinated my wedding and post wedding brunch. Going with Kim was one of the best decisions I made during the entire planning process. Kim made everything seamless and her calming organized presence let me go through the weekend without worrying about a single thing.
Kim is incredible and extremely organized, she understood every detail of the day and kept us all on schedule. We had a 200 person wedding and Kim handled everything with ease and grace even when my husband needed a button reinforced post-ceremony and my matron of honor split open a seam on her dress. Kim was right there and sewed everyone back together. I had no idea the dress had even tore until the next day! Kim has a magical way of anticipating our every need and kept us very well hydrated on a hot NY day.
Kim not only coordinated the brunch the following day by managing setup and dealing with vendors but also directed the staff working during the brunch. Kim was an absolute joy to work with, I cannot rec... Read more

Thank you Alex for the glowing review. I truly loved working with you and your family on wedding day and the post wedding brunch. Everyone was so sweet and full of love, it made for an unforgettable weekend! You had the quintessential NY wedding at St. Patrick's and The Palace... and it was perfect!Kirsten

Kim was amazing! Her professionalism and willingness to help cannot be topped! She was there to help with anything and everything. There were a ton of moving pieces with our day of schedule and Kim made sure it all went according to plan. I was able to relax and enjoy the day knowing she had it all under control! I cannot recommend her enough!

Words cannot begin to describe the level of commitment, talent and genuine interest Kim showed us throughout this special process. She made the whole experience (surprisingly) memorable and enjoyable, alleviating SO much stress and pressure most brides and grooms experience leading up to and on their big day. Kim was a calming spirit that I so desperately needed during that crazy time. She demonstrated her incredible experience as a producer to direct and manage everyone involved and kept us all on schedule, which, as you will learn, is so unbelievably important. She so effortlessly made my vision a reality - she truly went above and beyond for us. She genuinely cares about her clients’ happiness and will stop at nothing to make sure everything is done right. She is passionate about love and the memories you make on your wedding day, and her services reflect that. She carried herself in a professional and poised manner at all times and in all aspects, and represented me in the best w... Read more

I know you two will have a lifetime of happiness, love and adventure (based on your honeymoon pics). Wish you all the best :-)
