Kristin & Allison were absolutely FANTASTIC! I had to plan my destination wedding via email and phone calls and it far exceeded my expectations! To say it was perfect is an understatement! They go far above and beyond to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams! I would recommend them to any and everyone looking for a high level of service with a personal touch! They are a class act!

Kristin at We've Got the Key's made our dream come true. She was incredibly easy to work with and ensured all of our needs were met. She had excellent recommendations and relationships with all the vendors on the island which made working with them a delight. She truly made our wedding exactly what we wanted - stress free. I would do it a hundred times over with her. I highly recommend her and We've Got the Key's.

5 stars. Kristin Artz was our wedding planner and she was just great. She has incredible relationships with all the local vendors. She had a collection of ideas from past weddings and was able to give us some great ideas. She became such a big part of my life that I really missed her when the wedding was over. I took her advice and "let go" on my wedding day. I didn't stress over a thing and Kristin had everything taken care of. We had an incredible amount of coordination required on the day of and everything came off perfect. I still can't believe it all came together so well. Kristin also stayed until the end of the reception and made sure everything left was returned to our guests. You should not do a wedding in Key West without Kristin.

Kristin Artz was my wedding planner for my recent destination wedding in Key West. I felt that she connected us with all of the best vendors in Key West and was an incredible liaison that communicated our needs with all the vendors for my family since we were many miles away. I completely trusted her opinion and judgment in the wedding planning process. She made us feel like we were her only clients', though we knew she had many, many other weddings going on during our planning process. She feels like a close friend by the end of it all and it was sad to say goodbye when it was all over. I could not have imagined a more perfect and beautiful wedding, and it would not have been so easy and wonderful without her!

Our Key West wedding was everything we dreamed of and more -- thanks to Kristin and We've Got the Keys. Kristin is, in a word, amazing. She helped me coordinate every aspect of our wedding from the wedding invitations to the wedding reception. Throughout the planning process Kristin seemed to respond to my questions and concerns before I had even voiced them. By the time the wedding arrived, all I had to do was show up and enjoy myself. You should not plan a wedding in the Keys without Kristin. She is worth her weight in gold.

I worked with Kristin Artz at We've Got the Keys for my June wedding. Kristin was absolutely fabulous and a God-send as I planned the destination wedding. Both my Mother and I are extremely organized and very much used to being the people who pull things together. I was not sure how either one of us would deal with a wedding planner - I can say wholeheartedly that we both were EXTREMELY comfortable working with Kristin and did not lose a minute's sleep worrying about the details of the wedding. She presented options on vendors, gave me the opportunity to check out their website's/talk to them and make my own decisions (I never felt that she was pushing me toward one vendor or another). However, when I asked for her to make a recommendation she did not hesitate and I had THE BEST photographer, florist, music, etc that I can imagine. I had my dreams about what the perfect tropical wedding would be....and kept putting myself in check because I did not want to be let down by reality. I can say that the wedding far surpassed what I had hoped for - it really was a fairy tale day. Kristin showed her knowledge of the local vendors, shared ideas from various weddings she'd done over the years, but in the end my wedding wasn't a cookie cutter of other's she'd done. It was beautiful, unique and reflected my own personality. Do not hesitate to spend the money and hire Kristin to plan your wedding. It will be the best money you spend in the entire wedding process!

OK, so I will be the first groom to write a review.

Everything positive that everyone else has written is true. From the first phone call from NYC to the morning we left Key West 6 months later, Kristin and her staff were there for all of our needs. After reading all the other reviews, I know it was not only for us, but she definitely knows how to plan, organize, and come through with an amazing wedding.

Like Erika wrote, there are less expensive options out there, but Kristin was able to keep very close to our budget and was very worth it. Borrowing from a credit card commercial... A wedding planned by Kristin from We've Got the Keys, $XXXX. A happy and stress free bride on HER wedding day, priceless, in more ways that I can count.

Kristin Artz made are wedding day memorable and stress free. She is responsive to your needs and offers great suggestions. Her relationship with vendors on the island get you the best prices and services. The photographer captured priceless candid shots and the beauty of Key West. Kristin dealt with the hotel to ensure our guests had the best view of the water and a back-up plan in case the approaching hurricane became a problem. She found the soloist, the makeup artist and the most delicious wedding cake with a tropical theme. Our friends and family are still talking about Kristin, she is a consummate professional.

Kristin, thank you for all that you have done for us. From the phone calls, guidance, ideas, opinions, and especially all of the behind the scenes activities that we did not even know were happening. Our Wedding Day could not have been any better! You somehow made everything come together perfectly. You must work around the clock, because I know you were on the phone late with Elaine and I on several occasions after spending the day working on wedding arrangements for us. This doesn’t even take into consideration the fact that you had numerous other weddings to plan for and other brides to attend to. You somehow made it seem like we were the only couple getting married in Key West on the 28th of March 2008. You made everything happen without incident. Even if there were any bumps in the road Elaine and I didn’t see them. “We’ve Got the Keys” is very lucky to have you working for them! Kristin, all wedding planning and business aside, we would love to consider you a friend. We are planning a return trip in August and would love to give you a call if you wouldn’t mind. If there is anything we can help you with in the North Carolina area, please do not hesitate to ask. If you need any information or items for an upcoming wedding just call or email us. We would be glad to help out. Thank you so very much! We Will Miss You.

I am a super organized person and was convinced I could do all my wedding planning without a professional planner and I did, but then at the last minute got nervous and decided to hire a day-of planner. This was probably the best decision I made, as I didn't have to ask any of my family or guests to do any tasks for me that day or deal with vendors or check on things, etc. All my guests were able to just sit back and enjoy the day. I had a lot of the preliminary conversations with Kristin Artz and Fiona Garvie was the actual day-of planner. Both women were so sweet and organized. I would highly recommend this company for Key West brides. I will also add that I found a couple of other planners on the island, selling services at a fraction of the price of We've Got the Keys, but inquired with my other vendors in regards to their reputations and let's just say it's a small island.....and I decided to go with We've got the Keys.

Chris and I wanted to say thank you once again for making our wedding so awesome. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Our guests had a great time as well. We continue to receive emails from everyone saying how much fun they had and how nice everything was. So, thank you for all of your help and great ideas! We got back from Costa Rica on Saturday, it was great! I guarantee we will be back to Key West before too long. We'll have to meet for a few cocktails!
