issy recommended vendors that she felt matched my dream and it certainly became a reality! Not only was she very professional, but you can tell she truly has a passion for what she does.

. We told her our ideas and a few of our favorite things and entrusted her with the rest. Oh my, did Missy and her team deliver! We walked into the most beautiful, the most magical, the most amazing wedding! Every single piece of our wedding matched our hopes and dreams. Even the vendors Missy paired us with matched what we were hoping for. They were all kind, generous, caring, and professional. We felt like they cared about our wedding as much as we did. It's been a few days since our wedding and people are still talking about it. It was the party of the year and was truly what we all needed during these unprecedented times. Missy ensured our guests were safe and happy throughout the ceremony and reception. Missy is a member of our family now and we are truly going to miss getting to talk to her almost every day! I'm trying to find another reason to hire her and her team now!

m the very beginning, she helped us to envision what we hoped our big day would look like. She recommended vendors, set up collaboration meetings, crafted seamless timelines, made sure no detail was overlooked, and was truly just INCREDIBLY wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and on our big day. Her expertise and professionalism were an invaluable asset to our wedding. Following planning our entire Charleston wedding, our plans were semi-foiled when Covid restrictions came into play. Despite all of the regulations, Missy was persistent in her pursuits to make our wedding possible. She thought outside of the box and found creative ways that ensured we had everything we initially dreamt of. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, she walked the extra mile for us. I am forever grateful for the guidance and heart + soul that Missy poured into our wedding. It was just magical! As an ACE bride, I feel so thankful to have had the most amazing team to make our vision a reality, but even more I feel blessed to call Missy a lifetime friend!

were to be in the safe, hard working, and very knowledgeable hands of Missy and her team! No question went unanswered. Communication is excellent and they made sure that our vision for the day (Coronavirus precautious and all) came to life. From assisting with finding vendors, to reading through contracts, to all of the postponement chaos, to creating a detailed itinerary and running rehearsal; we knew we were in great hands every single step of the way. My parents loved them, my bridal party loved them and best of all I made new friends (shout out to Danielle, because I already knew Missy) along the way! You literally won’t find more capable hands to be in for your event and when they say “whatever it takes mentality” they truly mean it! Thank you so, so much Missy! You are a bride’s dream come true! I literally had nothing to worry about on our big day.

ur marriage with family and friends.

r contracts and payment deadlines. She created a very detailed timeline for our wedding weekend and was incredibly helpful during the rehearsal as well. On our wedding day, Missy and her team were everywhere: answering questions for guests, tying sashes for the bridesmaids, working with the hotel and florist to set up for the reception, and making sure our luggage and gifts were all moved to the bridal suite. And so much more!!! Working with Missy and her team was a fabulous experience and having her as our planner allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy our special day. Do yourself a favor and hire Missy and ACE right now!! You will so very glad you did. Jennifer T.

nning. as a former planner I knew I needed someone highly recommended & who would make us a priority. Missy was all of those things & more! she instantly got to work on a venue & got all the balls rolling for me right away! thank God for this woman! she handled countless phone calls for me (a 6 hour time difference & working 2 jobs don't go together). Missy most days could read my mind & know what I was thinking before I knew how to put it in words. we would have weekly emails going back & forth with where I was in the planning process. she would send me picture of things to see what my thought were for signs & decor. she created a personal check list to keep my head on straight & keep us on track. helped me plan a welcome luau for all of our peeps & keep all the names together. so fast forward a year & a month: Missy & her hubby fly to Hawaii, the week of their anniversary & their oldest son's birthday to celebrate me & my hubby. these two people were there every day, every step of the way to help us get down the aisle. it poured the day of our outdoor wedding & Missy & hubby rearranged tables & chairs to make things work. they sweated in 80+ degree humid weather & kept smiles on their faces the whole time. I never once had to worry if something was wrong, they had everything under control. Missy made sure that everyone was happy & Christopher & I could just enjoy our friends & family. I told Missy the one thing I'm gonna miss is the constant emails & text messages. & she told my husband now we can all be "real life friends". this woman started off as a kicka** planner I needed to help me plan my wedding & she's become a kicka** lady I need in my life as a friend. thank you Mrs. Christianson for all your help. I would pay for you & your services over & over again. long story short: if you're planning a wedding, near or far, you want a wedding planner. but if you want someone who's gonna put in the work & make YOUR vision come true & put you & your beloved first, you want Missy. as a former planner myself, I never had to worry about a thing & Missy is the most thorough lady ever. ps. I'm sorry I was perpetually late in Hawaii. thank you for not hating me =)

ledgeable, well-connected with other top professionals in the area, fluent in the guidelines for our venue and all vendor contract minutiae, and proactive throughout the entire planning process. We even switched our ceremony location last minute, and the ACE team ensured that it was the most graceful pivot of all time. Our wedding was absolutely perfect--in large part due to the tireless efforts of Missy Christianson and her team. Hire this event coordinator now. ACE is the best in the area, hands down.

wedding date and are so thankful that we did. Looking back at how much planning and detail went into our wedding, there is no way any of it would have turned as great as it did if we didn’t have ACE. A few things we loved about Missy and the ACE staff was their commitment to making our day exactly how we wanted it to be, attention to detail, and their experience. When it came to our wedding day, being able to relax and know everything was being taken care of with the vendors and guests was incredible. We can’t thank Missy and the ACE staff enough for all of the hard work they put into making our wedding day so perfect and stress free for us.

the vendors, photos, seating and *thousands* of other details with ease. (Seriously, who know there were so many details!?!? LOL) The best feeling was going into the big day knowing everything was taken care of and if an exception came up, knowing Missy had it covered. Wedding day was 100% stress free and so much FUN! Missy’s planning expertise, follow through and advice was key to a successful day and we can’t thank her and the ACE team enough!

be honest. I have always worn her Team ACE t-shirts from coast to coast. She is loving, kind, supportive and I was sure that she carried all of that into her profession. It wasn’t until I got to experience Team ACE from the Bridal point of view that I saw how truly talented and dedicated she really is. Shane and I called with a wild idea to get married in Hawaii and we needed her help. We live in Idaho, she is based in VA, and our families are in CA and OR. Despite that, within 72 hours she had a full page of suggestions for venues, with “just a little google search” she said (eyeroll). She was diligent in making sure my vision was understood (even on days that I wasn’t sure I understood it). She was knowledgeable in how she spoke about other event professionals that she felt would serve me in the capacities that I expected. Her communication was always clear, and if I was unsure there was never a limit on the number of times and ways she could explain things. Missy always took the time to answer when I forgot about the time change and called too late at night, her team shipped us linens and Small details that I was heart- set on. She even helped guide me and encourage me to make decisions about what details and traditions were the most important to me, to maximize the moments we would love on our big day. Missy was never more than a phone call or FaceTime away; even on the days I looked a hot mess- she never even laughed. Team ACE was a HUGE part of Shane and I’s start to the rest of our lives, and we would not have been able to have the beautiful, elegant, simple wedding we had both imagined without them. Team ACE is a service beyond any I could have ever expected, and I am so grateful to now be able to support her as an ACE Bride, not just a cousin in love.

eant a lot to my husband and I as we were planning our wedding from states away. The comfort of knowing everything we wanted and needed was getting taken care of was an amazing feeling. I really appreciated that we were working one-on-one with Missy herself throughout the entire planning process. When we were introduced to her team, however that was also a great feeling as everyone was so nice, professional, and helpful. A good leader breeds a wonderful team. Missy introduced us to great venders that led to an even better wedding day where everything (for the most part) went as we had planned. What started as a business relationship has now budded into a beautiful friendship.

.. just to name a few of their great qualities! As a bride, Missy makes you feel like family. I can honestly say that I did not have to worry about a single thing on my big day. My husband, entire bridal party and family got to relax and enjoy the day as well, just as they should! Not only was Team ACE amazing on the day of, but throughout the entire wedding planning process, Missy recommended design ideas that I would have never thought of. She made my wedding dreams truly come to life. ACE is the BEST!

ng industry and will guide you through the planning process every step of the way. She is the epitome of a wedding expert and gives the best advice on all wedding details, big or small, from specialty lighting, to music selections, hotel room blocks, and literally everything else in between. I have been to A LOT of weddings, but I was very indecisive when planning my own. Missy has impeccable taste and I completely, 100% trusted her expertise. Making decisions was much easier with her by my side. There was never a question she could not answer or a task she would not help with. On top of that, she responds SO quickly and never left me waiting. Our wedding had a lot of moving pieces, with our ceremony at a property never used for weddings, and our reception at another location 45 minutes away. Not to mention, there was a Hurricane barreling up the East Coast that week. The day before our wedding, a tree fell on the road blocking passage to ceremony site. Missy worked tirelessly that night, and early the next morning, to ensure I had my dream wedding (and a beautiful backup plan, if needed). She handled every situation with ease and grace, and truly did whatever it took to make it happen. I will be forever thankful for that. On the day of the wedding, I was completely, 100% relaxed… all because of Team ACE. I knew that with the wedding in their hands, everything would be executed perfectly, and IT WAS! I did not have a single worry or concern knowing they were there. I am so grateful for Missy, Danielle, Kelly and Kristin – they worked SO hard to make sure everything went off without a hitch, and always with a sincere smile on their face. My husband and I were truly able to enjoy every second of our day without ANY stress (sounds crazy – but it IS possible, people!). On your big day and during all the planning leading up to it, ACE will be your biggest cheerleader, your confidant, your advocate, your best friend, and really, anything you need them to be. I wholeheartedly recommend Missy – your day will be an absolute dream with her and the ACE team!

her own. She’s attentive, super knowledgeable, creative, understanding and most of all, she’ll be your biggest cheerleader from start to finish. Hiring her was one of the easiest and best decisions we made!

rs or worry about details, but she handled everything better than I could’ve imagined. She has wonderful vendors and people that she works with and recommends, and I was always impressed by their creativity. I got married at a new venue and she was there to make sure everything was done correctly. Despite the newness of the venue, Missy made sure everything was on track. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process and I could not ask for better service. She was open to ideas, and she always knew the best way to execute them to fit into the vision. I love espresso and she made sure that there was an espresso cart during the reception! I could not speak more highly of her and her team’s professionalism and personal dedication. My husband and I were beyond grateful and happy with how she helped us throughout the entire wedding process and we seriously had the best time and memories from our day.

perfection. Let's just say I have been to A LOT of weddings. I wanted to find a venue that was different. I wanted a venue that I hadn't seen a million of my friends get married in. After describing my vision to Missy she recommended The Historic Post Office in Hampton, VA. My husband and I went for a site visit and jaws dropped. It was absolutely perfect. As if she was reading my mind. She definitely knows all things wedding. She always made sure to check in and schedule meetings with me to ensure I wasn't ever overwhelmed and that I wasn't rushed in the planning process. She always had the best vendor recommendations for me and asked ALL of the questions that I would never have thought to ask! On the day of my wedding, the Team ACE girls and Missy were on it! Set up was being executed perfectly beneath our feet! We were checked in on regularly and if any of our friends or family had questions they had answers. I didn't have to worry about a single thing (just that handsome man waiting for me at the end of the aisle). The day was absolutely flawless!! Special shoutout to Team ACE'r Kelly - while my mom was bustling my dress Kelly helped put my socks and Kate Spade keds on for the reception since I couldn't reach my feet - yes, she literally tied my shoes for me - now that's FULL SERVICE right there! Missy and Team ACE truly care about their clients as if they were family. I would recommend no one else to plan and execute your dream day!

gets to know the couple and the families and really puts her heart into every event to make the couples vision come to life. She offers expert and honest insight, remains calm in times of stress, has a "can-do, we will make it happen" attitude like I've never seen and quickly adjusts on the fly if needed. She helped make our weekend seamless and stress-free and our wedding the best day of our lives!

erything. Missy was so helpful and did not make decisions for me, but helped me evaluate different options and offered recommendations so that I could make great informed decisions. Her recommendations by the way, were all spot on! She made being a non local bride a breeze. She always made time for me (especially on my random trips in town) and we chatted like we've known each other for years. I never felt neglected or less than because I was not local. On the day of the wedding, Missy transformed into Wonder Woman! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was smooth and stress free - and not just for us but for our entire bridal party (and guests!). When my flower girl had to use the restroom during the middle of our ceremony, Missy took her so that our family could enjoy the ceremony. When my sister had a coughing attack, Missy was there with a glass of water. Missy anticipated our needs before we even knew them ourselves! Honestly, my family cannot stop talking about how amazing Missy and the ACE team were. Our bridal party truly was able to relax and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Missy and the ACE team to any bride! She was a joy to work with and I could not be happier. A+++++++

ade each Pinterest vision come to fruition. The cool thing about Missy (and there are a lot of cool things ;) ) is that she creates everyone's wedding differently. She looked at all of my different ideas (and there were a ton of them) and created an absolute masterpiece! I'm the type of gal who knows what she wants, but can't always make a decision or clearly articulate my ideas. Missy and ACE did not disappoint and made sure the rehearsal and our wedding day went smoothly - even with the rain and all 😀😍 I would highly recommend Missy and Team ACE to anyone and everyone ❤️

al", "elegant/ classy", "bring the outdoors in", "bright autumn") though we couldn't put together the pieces and details to create that vision. I had wanted to have our reception on a plantation overlooking the water, but as none were elderly friendly and my grandmother was the reason I had my wedding where I grew up in Williamsburg, I switched to the Williamsburg Lodge ballroom. But we really didn't want a Marriott ballroom looking wedding, though that is exactly what the Williamsburg Lodge is. So I specifically was looking for a planner that could help with design and not just organization. ACE was PERFECT. Missy took what we said and put together an amazing vendor team that brought our vision to life! We went through several designs as Missy helped us work through our budget while still getting the look we wanted, and we ended up with something truly magical and spectacular! Our guests were blown away and told us the reception ballroom was like stepping into an enchanted garden while still completely tasteful and elegant and not over the top. The hanging lanterns Missy came up with along with the dance floor just brought the high ceiling down and created an intimate atmosphere that was still grand. And all this on top on of the basic stuff you'd expect from a wedding planner around planning the day, coordinating with the vendor teams, etc- everything went smoothly without a hitch thanks to ACE. My husband and I had so much fun on our wedding day - completely stress-free - and all because we were in amazing hands. Thank you, Missy and team!!!!

making my daughter's dream wedding a reality. She knows the best vendors in the business and can steer you in the direction you need to create a team who can bring your vision to life. in addition to being a respected professional by all, Missy is down to earth, easy to talk to, and quick to respond to any email or phone call. The rehearsal and wedding day could not have been any smoother due to Missy's months of planning and attention to detail. Whether it's planning another wedding in the future or hosting a party or family event. Missy and the ACE team will be by our side! Thank you times a million!

team. If you want a stress free wedding have Missy by your side and they day will run smooth! Thanks A.C.E.!!!!

anner & designer at ACE. I planned an outdoor ceremony and a reception to be out under the starts. As the week approached the forecast began reading 100% chance of rain. I spent days crying that the vision I had and had worked so hard over the past year to pull together would be ruined. Missy jumped to action working with the venue to make sure we had every option available. She coordinated details with the vendors and everything went off without a hitch. The clouds parted during our ceremony to reveal the beautiful mountains in the background and it didn't end up raining the rest of the night. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and have team ACE to thank for the hard work they did to make our dream wedding come true!

utdoor ceremony. She has a wonderful bubbly personality that's contagious and my fiancé and I loved working with her. I would recommend Carolyn, Missy and everyone on the ACE Team for all your planning needs!
