Cedar and Stone is based out of Monterey Bay, California. We specialize in upscale event design and planning services for clients who love creativity, nature inspired designs and originality.
Client connection is our top priority, we have to vibe together as people right?! We want to laugh with you, have fun during the planning process and turn your vision into something gorgeous!
Oh Hey!
I am so excited your here!
With over a decade in hospitality and luxury weddings and events, I bring a calm, creative, and detail-driven approach to planning elevated celebrations across the Monterey Bay and beyond. My experience spans restaurant and catering management, high-touch event logistics, and thoughtful design—giving me a unique perspective on how to blend beauty and functionality in truly unforgettable ways.
I believe luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about intentionality. It’s the feeling of being fully taken care of, of every detail reflecting who you are, and of each guest walking away with an experience they’ll never forget.
At Cedar & Stone, we only take a select number of weddings per year so we can give each client the care, creativity, and personalized attention they deserve. I act as your advocate, your guide, and your sounding board throughout the entire process—from your first site visit to the last champagne toast.
When I’m not designing weddings, I’m living a wonderfully full life with my little boy, soaking up California’s coastal beauty. I’m a movie lover (sci-fi, action, and anything that lets me eat movie theater popcorn), a fan of cozy creative days water coloring, drawing or knitting, and a big believer in supporting small businesses.
If you’re planning a wedding that’s elegant, heartfelt, and uniquely you—I’d be honored to be part of it.

Nina + sean
Kristen is simply THE BEST. She made the entire wedding planning process from start to finish seamless. I had a lot of nerves and anxiety leading up to the wedding and she made sure to focus on specific tasks at each of our check ins which really helped.
She does BOTH planning and design!! She has endless ideas to elevate your day and how to bring personal elements into the focus throughout all areas of the wedding.
Come day of, she knew exactly how I wanted things laid out and really took my theme to the next level; she even brought her own items to help fill in decor.
Her day of coordination team is A+++. Things went flawlessly and Sean and I were able to just focus on celebrating our love with our closest friends and family.
If you want someone that you can rely on and help make your wedding dreams come true, book Cedar and Stone!!
