Jubilee Event Engineers

Patient, perceptive, organized, creative, well-​connected, tireless, reliable, kind, unflappable, efficient and effective. Just a few of countless positive adjectives we have for Kristen’s outstanding work to plan and orchestrate the happiest day of our lives in Seattle on 8÷9÷14. Lynn and I live in Ohio, and our 40 guests came in from all over the country to enjoy the most joyous celebration imaginable. The wedding, pre-​reception, dinner, music, dancing, and all of the details were simply beautiful and flawless and perfectly suited to us, thanks to Kristen’s masterful planning, outstanding vendors, and on-​site execution — almost like an invisible magician! We did not have to worry about a thing that day but were free to enjoy all the exceptional moments. Kristen has our strongest recommendation to anyone planning a wedding or special event in the Seattle area.

Kristen provided full-​service coordination for our September 2014 wedding with a guest list of about 130 people in Seattle. From the start she did an unbelievable job making a collection of what we thought were wild thoughts into a cohesive reality. During the process Kristen was super-​organized — the schedules, budgets, and spreadsheets she shared (via google docs) helped us to always feel that we had a grasp on all of the many, many details.
Kristen has a strong network of vendors that she works with, and she always knew which ones would be best for us to look into, kind of like a matchmaker; once we showed her our vision and she got to know our personalities she presented us with the right set of options. She even had us interview the especially important potential vendors like photographer, florist and caterer. Once we made our choice all of the ‘nitty gritty’ just magically happened, allowing us to focus on the important stuff and still have a pretty normal life that wasn’t totally dominated by ‘wedding planning’!
During the day of the wedding we had full confidence that everything would go smoothly, and lo and behold it did! Many of our family & guests raved about how all the details were perfectly executed. Kristen was even aware enough at the end of the night to have her assistant drive our car back to the hotel, since we certainly were in no shape to do so. ;-)
Bottom line: Kristen coordinated and executed the the wedding of our dreams, all the while we remained (relatively) sane. We would suggested Kristen and Jubilee Event Engineers to our closest friends with confidence.

Kristen helped us plan and provided day of service for our August 9^th wedding. My partner was a bit skeptical b/​c Kristen doesn’t come cheap — but Holy Wow — you get what you pay for! She was instrumental in carrying out our vision and her work on day of stuff was absolutley flawless! My partner and I were able to fully enjoy our perfect day b/​c Kristen took care of everything.
HIRE THIS WOMAN FOR YOUR WEDDING PLANNING!

As the mother of the bride, at the suggestion of a good friend I hired Kristen and Jubilee Event Engineers to help us plan my daughter’s wedding — the best advice I ever got. I would pass this on to any family: if you want to have a beautiful and meaningful celebration that involves a lot of moving parts, AND you want to have fun at your own party, hire these people! Kristen was knowledgable, organized, efficient and so lovely to work with. She anticipated every detail and many we never could or would have. The planning meetings ahead of time helped us all feel confident and the day-​of-​the wedding Kristen and her assistant Julia worked seamlessly together to make sure everything went perfectly. Seeing my daughter and son-​in-​law so happy was the best gift of all. Thank you Kristen, Julia and Jubilee.

My wife and I hired Kristen to plan our 10÷5÷13 in the Methow Valley of Eastern WA. We could not have done it without her! I don’t even know how much or how hard she worked the day of because I was able to just get ready and enjoy the build up while she was out making everything happen. She would just casually drop in to the cabin and run things by me then disappear to the event site to direct vendors and friends, deal with issues that I’m pretty sure came up (but I didn’t have to stress about) and generally orchestrate the event. She was a inconspicuous bride buffer, checking in with me throughout the event on timing, how we were feeling, if we needed anything. She worked late into the night after the event was over, making sure our presents and keepsakes were safe and cared for.
We consistently heard compliments from family and friends that they can’t believe how we pulled off such an amazing wedding, how no detail was missed and how perfect the weekend was. They didn’t realize so much of it was Kristen! We were told an event planner should make you feel like a guest at your own wedding. We felt like we were absolutely able to enjoy the day, had minimal day of stress, felt respected and totally got to feel like more than guests at our wedding.
Additionally, Kristen was invaluable in the pre-​wedding planning sessions that the day of package includes. She helped manage our expectations, was realistic and practical while still encouraging our creativity and visions for our wedding. We technically had a DIY wedding, I suppose but it was really a DIYWYWP wedding (do it yourself with your wedding planner). Kristen was so worth it! Hire her!

Alex Martin helped us with our wedding this summer. In the months leading up to the wedding, she consulted with us and helped with us figure out logistical and creative details. We did most of the leg work finding vendors since we had only hired her for her day-​of services. The week before and the day of the wedding, she did a great job coordinating with all of our vendors to make the day go smoothly. And it did! We didn’t have to worry about a thing and she made sure we were doing well through the event. She really helped our wedding dreams come true!

The easiest five-​star review I’ve ever given. Alex was our day-​of wedding coordinator and did a fantastic job. During our pre-​wedding meetings she made sure we were on track and offered many great ideas from her experiences. On the big day she was there first and set everything up exactly like what we imagined. She took care of every vendor and we were able to enjoy our day. It was perfect! Thank you Alex!

I loved Alex and her assistant Taylor. As the Caretaker at Washington Hall that rents out venues and at times worries about renters contracts. They paid attention to detail during the venue orientation and I was surprised to find them finished with all their task 30 minutes before the time allotted for leaving the hall. Their decorations were simple and elegant and fit this historic venue well. They engaged all parties: caterers, cleaners, the people getting married, guests, sound technicians, and everyone else. They rolled with the hiccups and changes of plans and feathers were never ruffled, because they were so smooth. They left Washington Hall better then what they found it. I hope more weddings and events hire people like them to plan and execute their events, here at Washington Hall and at other venues.

We worked with Kristen for a full year planning our big gay wedding, about 100 guests. She listened closely to our needs, helped us think through all the options from venue to place settings, and nailed innumerable final details including a last-​minute addition to our flower order. She also helped us keep costs down by carving out some of the planning we could do ourselves, like booking the band. She was great with using Google Docs as a way of collaborating and coordinating our planning. On the day-​of, she worked her tail off to make sure everything was set up. The ceremony and reception both went off without a hitch! Everybody said that it was the most beautiful and unique wedding they had ever attended, and I believe them. It was perfect.

My husband wanted to get married in Seattle, a city we had never even visited, so I went off to interview planners because I knew we’d need help. Kristen was our first interview, and her calm and positive language made her the top pick through all the others. She worked within our budget and realistically explained that she’d give us options to stay within budget, but if we picked all the high end options then we would keep things tight for ourselves. That was a wonderful explanation of her services and kept us focused on our priorities, what we could afford, and we managed to stay under budget with her help!
From start to finish, Kristen was absolutely perfect. She was calm, friendly, and confident. Our wedding day went smoothly because of her and Taelore’s help. I honestly miss having a reason to work with them and absolutely hope the best for all Jubilee’s future endeavors. Worth every penny!

Kristen did an amazing job coordinating our event-​We honestly had the perfect wedding! I know there was at least one crisis that I only learned of well after the event as she had solved it with no one ever knowing. We have had so many comments as to how perfect our wedding was.

Kristen Tsiatsios was the day of coordinator for our wedding. She was fantastic! Everything went so smooth. Kristen handled everything on our wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even made sure we had food and drinks throughout the event! She is creative and fun to work with. I couldn’t have picked a better person for the job!
Thank you Kristen!
