There is no one that could have provided the flexibility with guidance that Christi was able to give us for our marriage. Her ideas were provided with our wishes first-most the priority . She provides a full service so no need to have separate vendors. Anyone planning a wedding should at least sit down with her for a consultation as you'll be amazed! More...

She is so helpful and understanding. I loved that she kept in communication and is very patient when we couldn't make up our minds.

What do you love most about your job?
Well, first of all, who does not like a party?
I love that I have a great degree of control and freedom within my job. I work full-time on a flexible schedule, both in and out-of-office, and my clients trust me to produce high-quality work and results. I work hard to maintain that level of trust, which keeps me engaged and excited — but at the same time, I love that my job enables me to love and enjoy my other passions in life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was tired of working for someone else and they got too much of the money I brought in. I did the work. I wanted the profit of my work. It was that simple. I was getting virtually nothing back from the company so I went out on my own. That was 1 of the BEST things I ever did in my life and the scariest!!!!
Why should our clients choose you?
I tell prospective clients that if they prioritize good work, exceptional service, new ideas, and a long-term relationship, then we're the team for them. If they need to prioritize other things, then they should choose someone else. We're a member of each client's team, and they're a part of ours, so it's important to set these expectations upfront. We get it done. We care about the work we do and to us, they're not just another client. We're not a 100-plus person shop, so we can still be much more personal and hands-on with our clients.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide planning and logistics virtually. But, on the day of any event, it will be done in-person.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Standard Social Distancing practices will be adhered to where possible. Event bracelets showing an individual's preferences on such social distancing will be available.
Wedding Officiant
As an ordained non-denominational minister offering both religious and non-religious wedding ceremonies, I am honored to be considered to preside over your ceremony. My philosophy is simple: every couple should be allowed as much (or as little) involvement in their wedding ceremony as they desire. Every wedding ceremony script is customized. This ensures you will get the type of ceremony and officiant you want.
Event Planner
Where do you start, and how will you juggle 100+ hours of event planning with everything else you have going on? Hiring a full-service planner is a must-investment for the busy professional or full-time student. Just like hiring an architect and general contractor to design and build a new home, hiring a planner is wise. You still get to participate as much as you want and make final decisions, but you won’t stress about planning the details.
