I'm Kristine, a wedding planner and designer based in Ireland

The couples I love working with are planning a wedding where every guest feels genuinely hosted. The effort of travelling from across the world is met with warmth, generosity, and beauty. My couples are thoughtful, kind and expressive.

No two of my couples are alike, and neither are their weddings. Their cultural roots, their personal story, their sense of style - all of it is woven into every detail, until the celebration feels wholly, unmistakably them.

I work with a small number of couples each year - because everything matters. The design, the logistics, the flow, the guest experience. And when the wedding weekend arrives, my role is to hold it all quietly and steadily in the background, so all you feel is the joy of being surrounded by the people you love.

Interested in working together?

Your wedding truly is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering - every person you love in the same place, meeting each other, celebrating you. It's an experience you'll never forget. My job is to make it feel effortless.

Whether you want to be part of every creative decision or would rather hand over the detail, I shape the process around you, bringing you into the decisions that matter and quietly taking care of everything else.

When the day arrives, my team and I are there across the full weekend, so you don't have to be anywhere but in it.

 

β€œKristine handled a thousand-piece wedding puzzle with absolute calm - scheduling six major vendors across a river by the tides and solving every problem before I even knew it existed.”

- Katherine & Brian, Waterford Castle

 
 

A Glimpse Into My Work

I was a florist before I ever planned a wedding, and thirteen years later that is still how I see design. The palette comes from the room - the stone, the panelling, the light the venue already holds. The garden comes indoors in a single gesture. One element carries the height. And every choice is built around where people will actually be standing when the light changes. No two of my weddings look alike, because the method starts from the couple and the venue, never from a template. What they share is harder to photograph: each one moved seamlessly, and no guest ever saw how.
