Meet Krista
The Chief Experience Officer
Organized chaos, tight timelines, and making magic happen.
I'm Krista McFall, the founder and creative force behind KLM Events & Designs. With more than nine years immersed in the world of celebrations, I have built my career on the art of organized chaos — navigating tight timelines, refining every detail, and designing experiences that feel entirely effortless to the guest, even when every moment has been meticulously orchestrated.
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.
Why KLM
We Redefine Modern Luxury.
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
From vendor sourcing and timeline creation to design direction and all the little details in between, we bring everything together with intention. We also serve as the main point of contact for vendors so the stress stays off your plate.
Three
Implement
When the big day arrives, we keep the timeline on track, manage vendors, guide the flow, handle the curveballs, and make sure you can stay present. You focus on celebrating — we'll handle the rest.

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.
