āCarissa was a dream to work with. I had no idea where to start or how to go about the wedding planning process, but she helped us with every step of the way and kept us on track. I was dreading writing my vows as I didnāt know where to start. Carissaās has a whole section on writing vows and this ended up being one of my favorite pieces of planning my wedding as I got to tell my now husband why I am wanted to be his wife.ā

āBefore Carissaās help, I was struggling to plan my wedding and was ready to give up. I researched. I researched the research. I laid out my findings to analyze. I concluded that wedding planning was too much, and that I couldnāt afford any of it. Then I found Carissa and she is amazing. Her guidance got me unstuck and I was excited about planning my wedding! My wedding day was amazing! Thanks Carissa!!!ā

āI don't even know how to describe Carissa Kruse but I will try.....She's an amazing woman with so much talent in so many areas she is a one stop shop!! I had others trying to include their opinions/ideas and Carissa helped me prioritize what was important to me and my fiance. She gave me the courage to plan the wedding I envisionedā
