About Kerstyn
Hi lovebird!
Welcome, and thank you for stopping by to read about me. I'm flattered you'd spend time here on our website with your busy schedule, so thank you.
Hire a Bridesmaid came about after I saw some of my dearest friends stressed out, taking phone calls and adjusting plans on their wedding day. I was quietly outraged, so I decided then and there that no Bride or Groom would ever feel that way again- not on my watch!
A big task I know, but as a team, we have been planning, running and creating dream (read: stress-free) weddings for almost 4 years now and I am so grateful for that!
My background is in real estate and events, after working as an agent for 7 years, I managed staff, ticketing and hospitality at large events for 3 years.
In my time as a wedding magic-maker and solution-sleuth, I've run, planned, been MC and sung at over 100 weddings, some of whose stories we've shared on our blog here.
I pride myself on providing you with such great service that you'll stop calling me your "planner" and start calling me "friend".
Looking forward to chatting with you further to discuss how we may help you.
Kindest regards and wedding well-wishes,
Kerstyn Walsh
