Christine A. Wheat Special Events Firm, LLC

We couldn’t have pulled this off without Christine! We knew we wanted the full planning package and she was involved almost from day one --about a year before the wedding. We didn’t want someone to take over our vision (and after speaking to a few other potential planners knew that we’d have a battle or two on our hands as to “what’s right and what’s wrong”). Rather, we wanted someone to be our advocate in making sure vendors understood what we wanted, how we wanted it, and to make sure that they fulfilled the vision. She also vetted vendors that we brought to her as well as bringing vendors to our attention. The planning process was a team effort and we couldn’t have been happier.We had three days worth of activities leading up to Saturday and all three required heavy coordination of people and vendors. All of it was seamless and stress-free because Christine handled the logistics and made sure we stayed on track (or as close to it as possible.) She also made the day of go so smoothly. Not only did I not want to worry about the small things (or frankly the big things at that point) but I didn’t want anyone else to worry either. She solved every issue that came up (like my very slippery shoes. Should I have been surprised that she had sand paper with her?!) and made sure all of the guests were comfortable, too. A small detail that I absolutely loved is that she steamed our linens! (There is nothing like a beautifully set table with a wrinkled table cloth!)

I used Christine and her staff for day of coordination. It was one of the best choices I made. The day was flawless and she made it possible for me to enjoy the evening.
