Testimonials

My husband, Kevin and I met Kisha at a bridal show at the Addison Park. We were just at the beginning stages of planning the wedding and were semi unorganized and hadn’t even thought of hiring a wedding planner. When we met Kisha, we were just starting to think about hotel accommodations for our guests and feeling a bit lost because we were both unfamiliar with what was available near the Addison Park. We scheduled an appointment with Kisha to just get a feel for what a planner could do for us. Before we even had our meeting or signed with Kisha she had already researched hotels in the area and e-mailed them to us. After the first 10 minutes of our meeting, Kevin and I knew we had to work Kisha into the budget and hire her. We chose the day of package which was perfect for us and our needs. However, Kisha went above and beyond what she was hired for. Kisha and I immediately hit it off and clicked as if we knew each other for years which made me feel extremely comfortable. Her upbeat positive attitude really made me feel like she was a part of the wedding planning as my friend which was such a great experience! Kisha had great ideas and always had suggestions of where to purchase things, what questions to ask vendors, and great referrals, such as Cam Turner for invitations.

When it came close to the wedding day, we had several meetings with Kisha and her team to work out a plan for the day of the wedding. I was so impressed with how she put together a timeline for the entire day. All I kept saying the morning of my wedding was “I don’t know how people do this without having a planner!” The entire morning went smoothly and without a hitch! There were no major problems and anything that did come up, (like me forgetting my dancing shoes for our first dance at the hotel that was 30 min away) Kisha and her team were on it! Every detail was taken care of and I was able to enjoy my day like any bride would want to: stress free and happy! I can honestly say I would recommend Kisha to any bride that wants to have a stress free wedding. Not only did I have a fantastic wedding but I gained a wonderful friend as well!

My (now) husband and I booked Kisha at Pure Ambiance Event Planning to help us plan our wedding. He was finishing up his undergraduate degree as well as working full time. I was finishing up an intensive year long program, finishing up clinical hours, and working. On top of that, we have a young German Shepherd Dog who requires a lot of exercise; in short, we didn’t have a lot of time to plan. We found Pure Ambiance to help us out; we had no idea at the time how much of a life saver they would become. Kisha and her team helped us out with almost everything. They came up with a theme, they helped pick out our color scheme, they coordinated everything, and they did all the decorating.

Kisha and her team were always available, and the few times things went south while we were planning, they were there to comfort me and help fix things. They were professional, dedicated, caring, and a ton of fun to work with. We highly recommend them.

Kisha’s enthusiasm, impeccable taste and guidance (with her wonderful Pure Ambiance team) helped to make my 40th birthday backyard bash a most memorable night – Despite rains and mud, or perhaps because of, her planning with tents and use of our indoor and outdoor space created a most cozy atmosphere where friends of ours from different parts of our lives “met and partied under the tents”. I’ve already been asked for my party planner’s name from multiple guests and I have gladly recommended Pure Ambiance to others as well. I look forward to working with her in the future to create more amazing events.

I was just about to email you and tell you how much Jimmy and I both loved our meeting with you! Jimmy even commented on how relaxed and comfortable he felt with what use to be such a stressful conversation (dealing with details and ideas!). We knew our meeting would be a glimpse into how this whole process would be…fun, easy, and STRESS-FREE!!!  I feel confident that you know exactly what I was talking about even though I was throwing ideas from far left and right!  We talked about how impressed we were with your whole layout from website, to location, to your ideas, and your organization! We kept saying, “This girl knows what she’s talking about!” : ) I loved everything! I’m so happy to work with someone who definitely knows what I’m looking for.

Hi Kisha,

I wanted to thank you for meeting with us and allowing us to be able to experience your experience and love for Wedding Planning and Designing.  I am looking forward to working with you in creating our vision for our wedding and I have all confidence that it will be the perfect day!  I am so excited and I can’t wait to get started as well.

We were married on August 8, 2008. We didn’t choose the date on purpose, it just worked out that 8-8-08 would be one of those memorable dates. We wanted to have an outdoor wedding and cocktail hour and a garden themed reception. Simple right? Initially my wife and her girlfriends figured that they could handle all the bookings and arrangements, but as time went on, reality kicked in and we needed a lot of help.

Enter Kisha and Pure Ambiance. We sat down for our initial interview and clicked right off the bat. She wanted to know everything about us to make our wedding day special. We talked about how we met, how long we dated, how I proposed and how my wife reacted to the proposal. We did all of this before we even discussed what we wanted for the wedding. Kisha took the time to get to know us (she says we’re REALLY laid back) and get a better feel for how to execute our requests. She really put our minds at ease. It felt like the success of the wedding really mattered to her. Over the next few months, she and my wife exchanged phone calls, emails, and texts running through different ideas. Kisha made it her mission to execute those ideas, while keeping anything that would cause us stress at bay.

On the day of our wedding, we had two things that could have caused problems had it not been for Kisha and her team. First, it rained on and off for most of the day. The venue wanted to move it indoors and kept pressing the issue. We did not. Kisha stuck to it and made our wishes known, resulting in the beautiful outdoor wedding we had dreamed of. The other issue was partially my fault. One of my groomsmen left his shirt, tie and vest at my house. We didn’t realize this until we were getting ready about an hour before the ceremony. There was no way to go back to the house, get the clothes and return in time for the wedding. I called Kisha (thanks for not telling!) who immediately began making calls to find a tuxedo shop nearby with the missing pieces. A friend ran to pick it up and arrived 10 minutes before the ceremony. My wife never found out about it (until we were safely on the honeymoon) and never had to worry about it.

After we said our “I do’s,” we laughed and danced the night away. Pure Ambiance exceeded what we had in mind for the cocktail hour and reception. Guests are still complementing the whole experience to this day.

In the end, it was a perfect day. My wife never had to lift a finger. I didn’t have to deal with any Bridezilla moments. What more could you ask for?

Hi Kisha,

I have come across a few event planners and none have caught my attention. On the other hand, I was attracted to the vibe and energy you and your team radiated from the start. I was drawn to the website and what you had to offer. Meeting you and the rest of Pure Ambiance was the icing on the cake.

Kisha,

I can’t tell you how great you and your staff are. Our day was everything we dreamed of and more. Everything was on time and perfect. I could not imagine what it would have been like without you. My guests can’t stop talking about how great the wedding was. Thanks so much for all your hard work and diligence. OUR DAY WAS AMAZING! It brought tears to my Groom’s eyes. Keep doing what your doing, a fabulous job!

Hi Kisha!!

Thanks for everything. It’s all so helpful with planning the wedding. I don’t know what I would do without you. Please try to come in with your husband for dinner. It’s the least I can do for you, cook you a nice meal!

Thanks again,

Hey Kisha,

Kevin and I are really excited to work with you. Thank you so much for all of your help and flexibility! I have to say that I’m impressed with your follow up skills! Girl you ARE efficient!!! I’m really glad that we are working together. It feels great to have such positive energy around me. =)

Thanks again!!
