CM Event Design

Christine with CM Event Design put together our very unique idea of a wedding/ elopement party. She turned an older, cobwebbed (but nice in its own way) skating rink into an elegant venue! It was better than I could have ever imagined. She handled all of the issues with venders and other things to ensure everything was perfect and stress free on our special day. We were able to enjoy our day with our family all while not worrying about catering issues, decorating, or clean up. My husband was against hiring a wedding planner- now he insists on hiring Christine for any and all events and even having an anniversary party next year. Looking forward to move events with CM Event Design. More...

My name is Eileen Fortunato and I would like to heartily recommend Christine McDevitt as your choice for an event planner. Christine planned, coordinated and skillfully executed my son's October 2014 wedding in Las Vegas. This was no easy task as we had over 200 guests and the majority traveled cross-country for the wedding. Christine procured rooms, planned menus, arranged travel plans recommended musical talent and took so much anxiety and stress off myself, my husband the bride & groom and made the day so special and magical! I have honestly never met anyone quite like her! There is no more qualified lady to plan that special day for you. More...

My wife and I held our wedding reception at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge. During the research process we met with scores of wedding planners and various event managers. While the Royal Sonesta has a nice facility, the one area that truly sold us on hosting our special day there was Christine.

Christine has an uncanny ability to build rapport and establish relationships with people instantly. During our tour of the facility it seemed as though we knew Christine for years. Christine exhibited a great personality as she made the whole experience fun and informative. After Christine’s presentation we knew instantly that we had to hold our wedding there.

During the wedding planning process Christine was everything you could ask for. She was incredibly organized, always checking in to see if we needed assistance with photographers, florists, DJ’s and invitations. Her constant communication reassured us that we were not forgetting about the little things that can be often overlooked. In addition, Christine was extremely detail oriented. She provided ideas to my wife about things ranging from how the tables should be set-up, the best lighting at various times of the night, how our appetizers and displays should be organized to ensure our guests would not feel crowded during the cocktail hour and how we could maximize the most space for the dance floor to ensure all of our guests could party. Most importantly, and dear to us, Christine often checked in with us to see how we were doing and what she could do to relieve some of the wedding planning stress.

For future events we will definitely be seeking Christine’s professional advice. Scores of other planners and event managers that we met prior to Christine were often stuffy, had no personality and seemed like their presentation was scripted word for word. Christine made the whole wedding planning process, which can often be tense at times, extremely fun. In working with Christine we always felt like we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Christine always manages to have a smile on her face. She manages expectations exceptionally well and always went out of her way to ensure that we were happy and taken care of. Christine is truly one of the best in the business. More...
