References from my wonderful brides:
I have to give my greatest thanks to Crystal and Charles. My wedding was incredible. It so far exceeded my expectations. My husband Chad and I were able to just enjoy ourselves and have fun, while everything was taken care of. Thanks you guys. We have memories to last a lifetime.

I had the best wedding thanks to Crystal and Charles!!! I didn't have to worry about one thing they had it all taken care of all I had to do was show up! They were the sweetest people and acted as if we were best friends that had knew each other for years even though we had only known each other a couple weeks. I couldn't have imagined my wedding any other way, it was perfect!!! And I can't even begin to describe how happy I was and still am with the photography I don;t think anyone could have captured our wonderful day like she did!! Thanks again guys!!!

I could not of asked for a more perfect day!!! It was beautiful and I never could have done it without Crystal. French Kiss Events is awesome! Everything went so smoothly and my family even commented about how calm I was...LOL I said it was easy to be calm because all the details were taken care of. The photo are sooo beautiful and I will refer everyone I know who plans to get married to you. Thank you so much!

We all had a blast at my beach wedding! Crystal's creativity and professionalism helped me relax and enjoy and let her take care of the details. She had so many unique ideas, from candid photos to ideas for writing our own vows. The photos were incredible! Our ceremony was beautiful.. She was prepared for every possible complication, including the ever-present sea breeze. The whole, fantastic day went off without a hitch! I definitely recommend Crystal French and French Kiss Events!

OMG, what can I say. I had a dream in my head and Crystal made it come true. Never could I have imagined so perfect a wedding day. I especially am grateful cause my family members were definitely not easy to deal with and requested all kinds of special services and Crystal took it all in stride. I could not have done it without her and would advise anyone getting married, DO NOT TRY AND DO IT YOURSELF. With my first marriage did my own planning, but after he passed away and I met Brian, well, I decided to let someone else do it, and thank goodness I chose Crystal, and it was a totally different experience using her. I was completely stress free and didn't have to worry about any of the details. I just got to enjoy my day. On the entire wedding, that was the best money we spent, and she would have been worth it for triple the price. Thats another thing, if you check around, the national average for wedding planners is between 2,600 - 5,500. Crystal is so much less than that and worth so much more. Thank you Crystal for giving Brian and I a day that will live in our memory forever. I will never forget all you did for me.

Crystal French, Girl you are amazing. These pictures are absolutely gorgeous and the ceremony exceded my wildest dreams. Jason said you were by far the best decision we made. Everyone, listen up. if you are getting married, call Crystal at French Kiss Events now. Let her do your ceremony and take your pictures. I guarantee you will be so thrilled. She made my day the absolute bomb and my wedding was beautiful. All of the guests kept telling us how beautiful everything was and how much fun they were having. Crystal is my girl. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and I was so sad she had to move to Galveston, but now ya'll get her down there on the beach, and trust me, if you are getting married and want your day to go perfectly, call Crystal. Don't mess with the rest now, just call the best!! Mrs. Serena Jackson
French Kiss Events is the best wedding planning service I have ever dealt with. I am a florist and Crystal is truly amazing and a great friend. She refers brides to me, or deals with me for them on a regular basis. She is extremely professional and everytime I have a bride who doesn't have a planner, I tell them the truth, that they absolutely need one, and send them her way. Kenny White
