About KLM Events & Designs
Hi, I'm Krista
Founder & lead designer behind every KLM celebration — obsessed with timelines, design, and the magic in the details.
The Chief Experience Officer
Organized chaos, tight timelines, and making magic happen is my specialty.
I'm Krista McFall, founder of KLM Events & Designs and the person who genuinely gets excited about timelines, logistics, and transforming big ideas into unforgettable experiences. For more than nine years, I've been designing and producing celebrations that feel effortless on the surface—but are backed by meticulous planning, creative problem-solving, and a whole lot of heart. My goal is simple: create events that leave guests saying, “How did they pull that off?” while allowing my clients to enjoy every moment along the way.
In 2023, I left Chicago for the warmth of Arizona and now call Phoenix home, sharing it with my husband and our two beloved dogs, Mocha and Pickles. Outside of events, I find inspiration in the unexpected — a stroll through HomeGoods or Hobby Lobby, the discipline of Pilates, and the simple ritual of a Diet Coke in hand.
A fun detail
In 2016, I worked for Disney World in Fantasyland — spending my days surrounded by princess dresses, glitter, and magic. Which honestly feels pretty on-brand.
We Define Modern Luxury
Why KLM
You're not looking for just pretty. You're looking for a statement. You value the aesthetic as much as the experience, and you want a team that knows the difference between a party and a vibe. KLM Events & Designs creates thoughtfully curated, design-forward celebrations that feel as seamless as they are unforgettable — blending intentional design, expert planning, genuine connection, bold creativity, and refined execution.
Beyond Pinterest
Your event should feel inspired, personal, and layered with meaning — not simply pulled from a trend board. We translate your ideas into a refined visual direction that feels intentional, elevated, and completely your own.
Total Presence
From the first concept to the final detail, our process is designed to help you feel supported, calm, and confident. Every element is considered so the experience feels seamless, polished, and memorable.
Vetted Excellence
Years of industry experience, trusted vendor relationships, and strong planning instincts mean the event is not just planned — it is perfected.
Anticipation Over Reaction
We manage every moving piece behind the scenes, anticipating problems before they ever become reality.
How we work together
The Planning Process
One
Discover
We start by getting to know you — your story, your vision, what makes you happiest, and the feeling you want your celebration to have. Think of this as the beginning of the magic: part planning, part problem solving, and part hype person.
Two
Create
We take the ideas, the logistics, the endless emails, and the million little details and turn them into a seamless plan. From vendor coordination and timeline creation to design execution and event-day management, we keep everything moving behind the scenes so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.
Three
Implement
When your celebration day arrives, pop the champagne, hit the dance floor, and be fully present. We'll handle the timeline, vendors, logistics, and any surprises that come our way. We make sure your celebration feels effortless from the first guest arrival to the final farewell.

Planning doesn't always follow a perfect timeline — and that's okay. Think of this as a guide, not something set in stone. Flexibility, creativity, and problem-solving are where we thrive.
