Christine is amazing. She helped us create my daughter's dream wedding. Honestly, it was better than we actually dreamed of, true perfection. She is organized, friendly, and has in...
credible contacts. She has great ideas and always listened to what my daughter and her fiance wanted and then made it happen. I don't know if there were any problems during the weekend because she took care of everything so we could enjoy it.
Christine and her team were beyond wonderful to work with and our day turned out better than we could have ever imagined! Christine is extremely on top of everything and even creat...
es an entire binder with every single detail about your wedding day! She is so responsiveness when it comes to questions throughout the planning process, provides amazing recommendations and corrals all vendors with ease. We didn't have to worry about anything on our big day and knew we were in amazing hands with Celebrations of Love! The day truly went off without a hitch! Christine is simply a joy and is soooo great at what she does! She brings her passion of planning to life for however you picture your wedding day! We recommend her and her team over and over again!
My husband and I hired Christine for her partial planning wedding services and we would highly recommend her as your wedding planner! Her extensive experience as a wedding planner ...
really matters--we couldn’t imagine the wedding without her coordination, expert advising and crucial involvement! Throughout the process, Christine was highly responsive, detail-oriented and always had a can-do attitude. Like most brides, I had a particular vision of my wedding that I wanted to bring to life, and Christine helped enable every aspect of it to come to life. Here are a few stand-out moments:
Tuned into Special Moments on Wedding Day: During my reception, my sister and I had an impromptu dance to a song that we used to dance to with our late father. Christine immediately grabbed my mom who was in a different location at the venue so she didn’t miss the moment. I greatly appreciate Christine’s insight into the importance of that moment and her action to grab my mom.
Resolved Issues with Vendors: When I had an issue with one of my vendors (the vendor was switching who would deliver the service), Christine helped ensure that vendor did as they had originally promised, given the repeat nature of her work with vendors in the industry. Also, when we had an issue at the hotel, she helped secure partial refund for our hotel stay. Christine is very well-connected with wedding vendors in Kansas City, so she is often able to smooth over or resolve hiccups in plans!
Extra Step with Details: Christine took the extra time to use a pencil to erase wax smudges on cards we were giving out at the wedding -- the extra effort here in the background and with small details (which she did not mention to us but which we noticed), impressed us! She also directly visited a restaurant where we were ordering takeout to talk with the manager to make sure the order was correct. Christine is always thinking about details from the bride and groom’s perspective, and goes far beyond expectations to ensure things go well.
A huge thanks to Christine and her team! She ensured that our day was every bit as special and love-filled as we had hoped it would be!
Christine is the hands-down the best. I knew that I wanted to work with her after she planned my sister's wedding. She was so great to work with-- she never rushed me, was highly r...
esponsive, and always made me feel at ease. Any last minute questions or concerns I had, she had already taken care of. I was starting to think she could have a second career as a psychic.
I was really focused on nailing the design aesthetic of the wedding, and she worked with me constantly to bring my vision to life. My jaw absolutely dropped when I saw the day come together. The whole day was so cohesive, beautiful, and reflective of my husband and my personalities-- many thanks to Christine!
Additionally, our wedding (at the Kauffman Center) had approximately 75% percent out-of-town guests. Christine handled all the transportation and helped with the hotel blocks. She had fantastic relationships with all the vendors we selected and the working relationship was seamless. It was so nice being able to enjoy the wedding day without any worries because of Christine's hard work and organization skills.
My only post-wedding disappointment that I won't be seeing Christine as often! She was a god-send and will remain a fantastic friend.
Shortly after my daughter got engaged, we decided we needed to find a wedding planner. We asked our florist, who has been in the wedding biz for over 30 years, that if she could r...
ecommend 1 planner, who would that be? Hands down, and with no hesitation, she said Christine Darden, owner of Celebrations of Love! She described Christine as “pure joy” and she was 100% right! After our first meeting with Christine, we knew we would be in the right hands! There was an instant connection and she was genuinely interested in every detail, from the proposal to how she could make my daughters wedding dreams come true! And Christine did just that! She made herself constantly available , via text or email, no matter how random our questions were through the process! Our wedding weekend ran seamlessly, and if there was any issue at all, we never knew about it, as Christine handled without us knowing! She was quietly in charge and put us all at ease! I just can’t say enough good things about Christine! Once asked, by all our vendors, who our planner was, they could not sing her praises enough! Christine is respected in the industry and she is ABSOLUTELY a planner we would strongly recommend to any bride! We are sad our event is over because our interaction, with Christine, has come to an end! We give her ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ++++!!
Deciding to hire Christine to plan my wedding was the best decision I made during the whole process! I was on the fence about using a wedding planner originally, thinking that my t...
ype A personality would be enough to handle everything, but once I talked to Christine, I knew I needed her for my big day!
Her energy and passion for her couples and what she does is infectious! It is so obvious that she loves what she does and loves the couples that she is working with. After every meeting with her I was bouncing off the walls with excitement because everything was coming together so perfectly.
She also connected us to the most incredible team of vendors! She listened to what our vision for the big day was and recommended several vendors for each category that she was confident would fit with our vibe, and they 100% did! She handled coordinating all the vendors with the venue seamlessly, making everything smooth sailing on our wedding day.
On the big day, she was the most calming presence, making sure all the trains were running on time, while also making sure we had time to stop and appreciate all the details and enjoy every moment. She truly went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us! At the end of the night, my husband and I were so sad when we realized our time working with Christine was coming to an end. She was the most delightful presence to have with us during such a special time in our lives.
If I can sum it up, with Christine by your side, wedding planning will be a breeze! About 8 weeks before the wedding I was convinced I was dropping the ball on something because people kept asking me how I was handling all the stress of wedding planning, but I wasn’t feeling stressed at all. When told Christine I was worried I was missing something because I wasn’t feeling stressed, she laughed, assured me that everything was on track, and said, “you shouldn’t be stressed, you have me!” She is the best of the best!
Christine was invaluable to us in planning our daughter's wedding! The bride was living out of town at the time and both her father and I work full time. She went above and beyond ...
to help us set up appointments (sometimes at the last minute) with vendors when our daughter could be in town. She gave the bride and groom a variety of choices for vendors without overwhelming them. She had great advice throughout the entire process. She helped us with contracts and made sure we met necessary deadlines. She was exceptional on the day of he wedding! All of the hundreds of details were effortlessly handled from start (9am) to finish (midnight). We were able to simply enjoy!
Honestly, I had never considered a wedding planner. Wow, what a game changer for the mother of the groom. It was worth every penny and more. Christine gracefully helped our fam...
ily plan the perfect wedding!!! We had to postpone it three times due to the pandemic. Yet, she helped us have the most memorable day ever. It was in our backyard and everyone had an amazing time. I did not have to worry about anything, as Christine did it all!!! I just had to sit back and enjoy the company and the beautiful surroundings. I can not tell you how much we appreciated her services. I highly recommend her for your special day too!!!
It was the best decision to hire Christine! She was amazing and she made the tedious process feel seamless. Christine got us in touch with the best vendors and everyone made our da...
y so special. She made sure all our requests and expectations were taken care of..from food, decorations to even last-minute bridal party changes. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID, but Christine took care of everything.
It was amazing to have her by my side on the day of the wedding. She helped me like a friend and I really appreciated all her help and support. We are singing her praises to all our friends and family!!
She is an amazing person and I am so happy we made the decision to hire her.
At the beginning of wedding planning we were going back and forth on if we needed a wedding planner. It turns out that Christine and her team were the best investment we made throu...
ghout the entire wedding planning process!! During the meetings Christine provided immense support, a positive energy, listened to what we envisioned and brought a ton of amazing ideas to the table. She took stress away by coordinating vendor arrivals and making sure the whole day ran smoothly. The next day my husband kept saying “We could not have done that without Christine”- and he’s right! I am so thankful for Christine and her team for making our day more amazing than what I could have ever imagined. If you are on the fence on which coordinator to choose or if you need a coordinator— stop right here and hire Christine because you will absolutely NOT regret it!!! Best in the business
At first I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner. I thought I could do it all based on blog information and Pinterest. I'm SO HAPPY I changed my mind. A friend of mine introduc...
ed me to Christine and we hit it off right away. She accommodated my busy schedule as a small business owner. She was open to virtual meetings instead of in person when that worked best for me. At our first meeting with the venue I already had my eyes on- I was wowed. I thought I knew all of the questions to ask... I was wrong, very wrong. In the first meeting with my venue, Christine knew the contract questions to ask to save me money and give me more of the wedding vision I wanted at the budget I wanted to stay in. Her fee was almost entirely covered by the savings her knowledge provided. I negotiate contracts for a living so this was incredibly impressive to me. Also she organized all of the details- the fun ones and the not so fun ones. I hate organization so her massive binder organization system was a life saver.
Christine was extremely flexible, patient and sometimes a bit of a therapist. My husband and I tied the knot during the pandemic. Plans had to be changed multiple times. She swung into action to come up with revised plans whenever needed. While I hope that most brides don't go through that- her ability to handle what I imagine would be one of the most stressful situations possible was outstanding and is a valuable skill no matter what the environment may be when it is time for you to plan your wedding.
Need a mariachi band? Christine knows who to call. Not sure what florist is best for your budget and vision? Christine knows who to call. Not sure what to say to Aunt Sally who might not RSVP on time? Christine knows what to say. Decide to hire a famous band last minute for your wedding? No problem for Christine. Small hiccups happen the day of your wedding? Christine knows what to do so you never know what happened and your day is executed flawlessly.
I don't have enough positive things to say about Christine as a person and as a wedding planner. You're a fool to hire anyone else.
Christine with Celebrations of Love was the BEST wedding investment we made. She has a very soothing personality, extremely organized and an excellent listener. You can tell she is...
very experienced because she thinks of everything and prepares for things you wouldn't think about. She gave me peace of mind with all aspects of the planning process. She also has excellent relationships with the KC wedding vendors and is very well respected within the industry. She did an amazing job planning our backyard wedding and dealing with all of the covid chaos! Our wedding day was so special and went SO smoothly. Hands down best planner ever! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a stress free, efficient, happy wedding day and planning process!
Christine is absolutely amazing and our wedding day would not have been the day I dreamt of without her! From our first consultation, Christine listened to everything my husband an...
d I had to say and made our dreams come to life! She organized all of our vendors contracts, offering suggestions and guidance throughout the process; she has many vendors that she is familiar with, but she also was open to vendors that my husband and I had in mind. She was there for us through the entire process of having to reschedule our wedding due to COVID (including many emotional calls); she actually reached out to ALL of our vendors and had them rescheduled for our new date within hours it seemed! Even though we took up several more months of her time with the postponement, she continued to show enthusiasm and excitement, reassuring us she would be with us through the end until we got our dream wedding! As new as the pandemic process was for her, she never skipped a beat! On our wedding day, Christine continued to show her worth! She was there from start to finish, setting up our venue for the ceremony, flipping our space for the reception, and keeping our timeline perfectly; I truly believe she is the reason our families, friends, and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy the event, instead of stressing and rushing around all day. She is simply amazing, enough said! I would do our wedding over and over again if you could promise me that Christine would be with us throughout the process again!
Christine was amazing!!! She was SO organized and communicates so well with the vendors. She took the stress out of contacting each vendor leading up to the big day making sure eve...
ryone was on the same page. I knew that if Christine was at my reception, it would go smoothly and I would have nothing to worry about! She was so helpful throughout the whole process (especially with our forever changing plans with COVID) and I will forever be grateful for her during this time! She took on many roles during our reception, making herself available for guests to ask her questions about seating, was there with me for every need I had that night, and even finding a solution for a mishap we had with the seating chart..we would have had never known if she had she not told us later!! Thank you Christine!! I would recommend Celebrations of Love to any bride! It makes the day go that much smoother for the bride + the mother of the bride!
I am SO happy we booked Christine at the beginning of our wedding planning process! She was with us every step of the way and responded to our many emails very promptly. She is org...
anized, professional and is a very positive presence. With the many unknowns with Covid-19…we could not have done it without her. She took charge and took over communication with all our vendors which we will forever be grateful for taking some of that stress off! We ended up having a small ceremony and she was there for everything we needed the day of and can't wait for her to be there again for our big reception in October! She wanted us to be worry free on the big day and we truly were. I would recommend to any bride to book Celebrations of Love for their big day!
WOW! I’m not even sure where to begin because everything about working with Christine was the absolute BEST. I knew from the moment we sat down for our first meeting that she was t...
he perfect individual to be, as we dubbed it, my “helpful human.” My only regret is that I wish I had found her sooner--- and legitimately I am so sad that the planning phase is over, because it means e-mailing Christine is no longer a part of my routine. If there is any doubt about if adding Christine (and her truly INCREDIBLE team) is worth it, IT IS. If you’re looking for a sign this is it. The big day was literally a blissful bubble, the Celebrations of Love team did a flawless job. Best decision we made. If my endless rant about how wonderful they are didn’t convince you know this: Christine and everyone with Celebrations of Love will help take the wedding planning process and the big day and make everything about 10,000x less stressful and run 10,000x smoother. I don’t know what I would have done without her.
Christine is INVALUABLE. As the bride, I would recommend the full package over and over again – it’s worth EVERY penny! From the day we met Christine, we knew she would fit right i...
n with our family and friends. She is so organized and helps you every step of the way. She truly made our dream come true, regardless of how complicated or convoluted our ideas were. She is always happy, outgoing, and never thinks any wedding dream is “too much”. She is honest and has the BEST advice. She makes the months leading up to a wedding stress free. She is on top of all vendors and does all of the communication and behind the scenes work. Our wedding was at Mildale Farm and she knew all the “ins and outs” of the venue. She had a clear vision of what was necessary at our venue to make our day perfect.
Her work is FLAWLESS on the day of the wedding. She takes the time to introduce herself and meet all family and friends. My bridesmaids were AMAZED at how efficient and organized Christine and her team were. ANYTHING we needed, she had in her bag. We kept calling her our “Mary Poppins”. One of my bridesmaids said: “I wish I got her for my wedding”. She was quick to act on suit mishaps for the groomsmen and ushers and fixed the problem without skipping a beat. Any last-minute alteration/hemming, she’s got it!
Christine and her team is the ONLY reason our wedding turned out so beautiful and flowed so well. I cannot imagine our wedding without her. She truly blended in and we can comfortably say she was a part of our family that day. Words cannot describe how wonderful Christine is, her work is phenomenal!!!
Christine is the expert you want by your side on one of the greatest day of your lives! She makes it seamless and worry free!! I used her as a partial planner since I had most of t...
he big ticket items booked already, but when it came to all the small details (of which I had no idea about) she was there to guide me every step of the way. She was so knowledgeable and I knew I could trust her with everything. She kept the show running in a polite way but everyone respected her, as well, along the way. My mom was very stressed about the day of and because of Christine she was able to relax and enjoy the day - she called her our Mary Poppins! I used to say that all that mattered at a wedding was great music and booze, but now that number one spot goes to Christine!! Without her I know it wouldn’t have been the perfect day I loved!!!
To all Fathers of the Bride: Hiring Christine was be best decision we made for our daughter's wedding. She made the process look easy. She was the experienced professional we neede...
d to get through the enormous amount of work involved in the proper sequence. Her presence made it easy for my wife and daughter to relax and enjoy the day! And she has a real gift to keeping the father of the bride in just the right frame of mind!
As many of the reviews state - Christine is the best in the business! She planned my sister's wedding, my best friend's wedding, and my wedding. She is professional, positive, det...
ail-oriented, and handles conflict like no other. I really felt her value shines during the month leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding! You and your family will not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding - Christine will take care of it all. From keeping everything on schedule to all vendor communication, I only had to focus on enjoying our wedding day. The only hiccup we had - I was a little panicky when we ran out of time during family photos before the ceremony but Christine calmed my nerves and made sure right after the ceremony we had gotten every single photo listed on my family photo spreadsheet. Everything else went as smooth as could be. Thank you Christine for making our wedding day run smoothly and the wedding planning process fun! It was truly the best day ever and we have you to thank!
I was unable to take advantage of Christine’s full planning package but I did meet with her for an awesome “Coffee Date” early in the planning process, as well as one of her Q&A se...
ssions and it was amazing! She helped me set a timeline for our day and decide what was most important to my fiancé & I so that I was able to prioritize my next steps and make our day fully “us”. All of our vendors were so impressed with my organization & I owe it all to Christine’s guidance and passion!
Weddings are a very joyous time but can also be a very stressful event. Christine truly is the best wedding planner around. She is so organized and put our minds at ease througho...
ut the entire process. We planned our wedding in 8 months and we couldn't have done it without her. Her attention to detail, professionalism with all of our vendors, explaining the process, everything was the best of the best. I would recommend her to anyone. Christine, thank you for making our day so special and helping our day be a memory that will last a lifetime.
I knew after watching my Mom at my wedding 25 years ago that I needed a wedding planner so I could relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding day.
I knew Christine was the one to help ...
us when she understood that as well.
Taking a wedding to the next level is what I would say is Christine's talent. She took my daughter's vision and then suggested so many little details to make it happen. She wanted it to be my daughter and her fiance's day and when people attended they would see them in the details. She definitely made that happen by introducing us to amazing vendors and her expertise.
Christine is a genuinely wonderful person. She is punctual, professional and a great resource and sounding board when you are in the thick of planning.
I highly recommend Christine and her team if you want a planner that wants the best for you and will work so hard to make it the best celebration. Thank you Christine!
Choosing Celebrations of Love to plan our rehearsal dinner and weekend of our wedding was an amazing decision. Christine truly has found her calling in the wedding planning busines...
s as she thinks of so many details, big and small, that made our wedding weekend even more special. She takes the vision of whatever we were thinking and brought it to life with her vast amount of experience in all types of weddings. I cannot recommend her more highly to any couple looking for a fun, energetic and truly genuine person to help plan their wedding.
I’m truly sad writing this because it means not only is the most amazing day ever over, but I will no longer have meetings with Christine. Christine truly brought our day to a new ...
level and made it flawless. She is always so happy and willing to help. I wasn’t living in KC so she literally made everything happen; and her timelines were so helpful to keep the details in order and on time. I always felt like she was our biggest supporter and would fight for us and what we wanted for our day. I literally have nothing to complain about. She made it all happen and people are still coming up to us and our families telling us how great the day was. I could go on and on but really all anyone needs to know is that they will be truly lucky to have her on their team!
I don't think I could ever, in a million years, say enough great things about Celebrations of Love and the huge role their team played in our big day! We hired Christine about 2 m...
onths into our wedding planning in from day 1 she was involved in every aspect and consistently going above and beyond her job description.
Being that my fiance and I had selected a lot of the major vendors already, Christine helped us refine the vision for our day. In our first meeting she got straight to work by developing our timeline and soon after she already had a floor plan created for us. From there things just fell into place very organically and our vision began to come together more and more.
Leading up to the big day Christine was communicating with all of our vendors to make sure they knew where to be and when. She also attended many if not all of our final meetings to be sure everything would be perfectly in place.
Finally, on the big day (and at the Rehearsal) I didn't have a single worry in the world. Naturally there were questions that came up from the wedding party or family and I would immediately direct them to Christine because she had all the answers. I didn't have to stress or think really! I just soaked in the day and enjoyed every second.
Christine and her whole team are truly wonderful to work with and I have said over and over that they were the most important piece in making our Wedding the wonderful day that it was.
At this point it probably goes without saying but I would HIGHLY recommend Celebrations of Love for all Wedding and Event coordination needs. :)
I should have written this review literally three months ago, but I honestly could not think of the right words to describe Christine. She is AMAZING! Not only does she think of ab...
solutely everything, she can also do everything. Christine made sure our wedding ran smoothly, safety pinned my dress when my husband ripped it, and literally everything in between. My mom found Christine through a family friend, and I was confident I could plan a wedding on my own. Even though I still think I could have, Christine made the process so much easier from beginning to end. We wouldn't have wanted to do it without her. My biggest piece of wedding advise I have shared with friends is to hire a wedding planner, because it is 100% worth it.
Christine is truly the most amazing person you could have organizing everything for your wedding. She is so detail oriented, efficient, positive, and nothing is too big or too cra...
zy for her to tackle. Christine has been a part of two of my family's weddings, and we cannot thank her enough for all of the time she has put in for us. If something went wrong on our wedding day, we have no idea, because Christine probably handled it. She made our big day so relaxing, fun, and easy for my family, my husband and I, and all of our guests. THANK YOU Christine and your assistants for making our wedding the most perfect day.
After seeing Christine in action at my best friend’s wedding, I emailed/booked her as my wedding coordinator prior to even being engaged😳 I just couldn’t imagine having anyone els...
e in the driver’s seat on wedding day, and assisting along the way with planning. Organization, communication, and positivity! Just a few words that come to mind when I think about my experience with Celebrations of Love. I have a tendency to be fairly anxious, but knowing “Christine’s got it,” I was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy every minute of our wedding day!!
This review is from a Father of the Bride.
We had about a year to get the planning done for my Daughter’s wedding. I thought this was plenty of time, and when we were thinking of ...
a wedding planner, I was unsure the extra expense was necessary.
Then Christine was hired and took over. Wow, what a wonderful difference she made. She obviously knew her craft and helped us get vendors, transportation, and multiple arrangements I would have never thought of.
Christine was great, with super communication skills and helped us plan everything to the smallest detail. She had precise plans and schedules that guided us all the way through the wedding day.
Boy were my initial thoughts wrong. I am so glad and fortunate that we connected with Christine to guide us, educate us, and made this event everything a proud dad would hope for.
Thank you Christine for all your efforts, advice, innovations and recommendations that culminated in a wonderful day. Thank you for your poise, caring and cheerfulness that led to an ultra-successful wedding day.
Christine from Celebrations of Love was a very important asset to our wedding planning process. From the first time I met her I felt confident she would help us make my daughter’s...
wedding day the best day ever! She is extremely organized and presented us with a customized budget worksheet from the beginning. A notebook kept us up to date at each meeting. I was provided with numerous catering ideas to choose from along with florists and DJ’s, hotels, transportation shuttles, wedding dress and bridesmaid boutiques to check out, invitations designers, rehearsal dinner venues, dessert caterers, ceremony music and musicians, etc. The list goes on and on. My daughter and I would have been lost without her assistance. Christine is always calm even when disaster strikes. One of the ring bearers misplaced his custom suspenders for six hours prior to the wedding and she quickly had one sewn up to match the other ring bearer before the missing suspenders were found! Unbelievable! Nothing appears to be a problem with Christine at your side. She is extremely organized, professional, kind, and takes the edge off of nerves the day of the wedding. We knew exactly where we were supposed to be the entire day. She had a timetable of when shuttles picked up guests, when photographs would be taken, what time to be at the chapel, what time toast would occur, just every detail was notated. We totally enjoyed the wedding experience due to her diligent and professional work. Well worth the money! Would hire Celebrations of Love again in an instant! Christine covered all bases from start to finish! She is amazing!!!
Christine-where oh where to begin! Well, I suppose, we should say that you should begin with her and end with her! Let this lovely lady walk you through your entire journey! We wer...
e so blessed to have her with us each decision and step of the way. Christine thinks of anything and everything that you haven't--she looks at the big wedding day from your perspective and your guests', making sure that everyone is well cared for and enjoying every bit of the day!
Most of all, she makes your dreams come to life, sometimes with a great deal of extra hard behind-the-scenes work! Our day, our flow, our timeline, our theme--was a true masterpiece. We were happy to have a friend in the wedding business as we embarked upon planning something that we knew very little about! Christine is well-loved and respected by her peers in the industry-we would meet with our vendors and when we told them we were working with Christine..."Oh my goodness, I love Christine-she's so on top things!" "Christine is such a sweetheart!" "Christine works magic!"and you know that if your chosen vendors have nice things to say about her--you are in good company and will have a reliable and trustworthy team behind you!
Don't hesitate to get someone on your team who is dedicated to making your dreams come true, that you stay on point and on schedule, and make you feel so relaxed by the morning of. We, as a couple, didn't ever catch wind and to this day, still haven't heard of anything that went wrong on our special day, and that's the way it should be. Christine always stays one step ahead and that is what we love most about her! She thinks ahead and cares for you before you even know you need it! (a.k.a being shuttled through a surprise tunnel of sparklers, into a shiny black sedan stocked with pizza and Wedding cake waiting for us to be whisked away for the night!)
Thank you for making our day a reality and a happy occasion, Christine! We'll cherish our work with you and memories forever!
I don't think there are adequate words to describe the knowledge, skill and passion Christine has. I spent last night at one of the best weddings I've ever seen. Everything about t...
his wedding screamed love, elegance, fun, laughter and overall ease. My only negative is I wasn't from around here when I got married so I could have used her as my wedding planner. She and her assistant are the real deal. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Christine was our wedding superhero! Not only is Christine energetic, approachable , brilliant, but she anticipates every moment! My veil literally blew off the top of a building...
during our first look and Christine had another veil to me before the ceremony (after she tried to track down the original which was stuck in a tall tree). We had extra guests show up and people missing from the seating chart (no worries with Christine), a flower girl had lipstick all over her dress ( Christine made it disappear), my husband’s grandma couldn’t step up into the transportation bus ( Christine arranged another car). My husband, our families and myself would like her to be part of the family! Outside of choosing each other, Christine was the best wedding decision we made. We wish we had hired her the day after we got engaged! I’m not sure how anyone could host a wedding without Christine!
If you are looking for a highly organized, competent, detail oriented ,enthusiastic individual to guide you through you wedding and handle everything the day of the wedding, Chri...
stine is your gal. Christine set us up with excellent vendors, communicated with them on our behalf and was instrumental in making the wedding day truly special and problem free. She is easy to work with and is a lovely young woman. You will not regret having her as a wedding coordinator.
Wow Wow Wow is all I can say. Christine was the absolute best. As the mother of the bride, I was truly a guest at the wedding, and I would do it all over again as the day was jus...
t perfect.
That was the highest compliment that I could give Christine and Logan. They coordinated with all of our vendors, set up all of our special touches and ensure that the bridal party and immediate family had the current timeline.
A true professional in every way, plus just such a joy to work with on one of the most special days for a family celebration.
Thank you Celebrations of Love. You truly made the day so memorable and special for all.
There is no way to put into words how fantastic Christine and her assistant Logan are. Celebrations of Love helped my husband and I plan our STL wedding from KC and we are forever ...
grateful for their services. We first met Christine at my brother-in-laws wedding and we knew we had to book her when it was time for us to tie the knot. She is simply the best. Detail oriented is an understatement for her skill set, you will not have to worry about anything with her by your side. Christine was there to guide us through the entire process, she gave us the best suggestions for vendors, made sure I was on track with planning and most importantly - put all my anxieties to rest. She is so prepared the day of the wedding with her apron and steamer. I honestly don't know what I would have done with her, I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING on our wedding day, she had it all taken care of for me, and even if something did go wrong, I had no clue that it did. No other planner could hold a candle to Celebrations of Love, this is the best investment you could make for your big day!
I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Christine and Celebrations of Love as a company! They were by far the best vendor decision we made during our wedding planning pro...
cess! I would highly recommend her as a wedding planner to anyone who is looking for someone with unmatched attention to detail, professionalism, and an amazingly genuine and down to earth person to work with! She truly makes you feel as if you are the most special and important bride and is with you every step of the way from engagement/consultation to your day of coordination! Watching her in action is like watching a passion and profession come together. She truly goes out of her way and cares so much to make every detail you dream up for your wedding day become a reality! The entire wedding and rehearsal went so smoothly and flawlessly because of Christine and Logan. Their teamwork, skill, and talent is the best in the business. Between all of the countless logistics, the timeline, the vendors, and the last minute changes-- Celebrations of Love planned everything so smooth! They were so flexible, as I live out of town, and planned any kinds of calls and meetings around my busy schedule! Before planning a wedding I never truly realized the incredible importance of having a wedding planner and boy was I wrong! They do their jobs with such excitement and creativity all while staying so on top of things, organized and professional. They are constantly behind the scenes making sure every last detail is perfect for your special wedding weekend and checking in to make sure your every need is taken care of! Christine was such a joyful part of our wedding planning journey and I will never forget all the detail and thought she put into making our wedding weekend truly perfect!
Christine was phenomenal! She did an amazing job with our wedding. She made the day as care free as possible for the bride, groom, wedding party and family. She was incredibly prof...
essional and I would highly recommend her!!
I first met Christine through one of her “Coffee Dates with Christine”. I have been in a few weddings through the years, but my first struggle came in knowing where to start with ...
my own wedding. Christine and I talked for the whole hour and I really felt like she genuinely wanted my wedding to be perfect, whether I decided to work with her or not and that really stuck with me. After a few weeks of taking a deep dive into wedding planning, I decided that as organized as I might be I wanted to hire a planner. Without a pause, I sent Christine and email. Every step of the way she was responsive, friendly, organized beyond belief and always professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for my wedding.
When it came to the day of our wedding, Christine (and Logan!) where at the top of their game. I decided to go the bridesmaid dress rental route because many girls were all around the country. One of the girls got sent the wrong color dress (each girl received two), so we had to use one of the alternate dresses from another bridesmaid, but it was a bit low cut. Christine didn’t panic and came up with a genius idea to make another dress work (and not show any cleavage) and make all of my girls feel beautiful the whole day.
Overall, I can’t recommend Christine enough as a wedding planner. She goes above and beyond on her responsibilities and I have received so many compliments from the wedding party and people who attended our wedding and saw her and Logan doing their thing and making the best day a reality for my husband and me.
Where to even begin with how wonderful Christine is! As a bride who had a specific vision of what I wanted for my wedding I didn't think there was a need for a wedding planner. How...
ever, my mom talked me in to meeting with Christine to help us with small details and the day of events. Within minutes of meeting Christine I knew we had to hire her! Her organization and attention to detail are incredible! We planned a wedding with lots of details and several different vendors and Christine handled it with ease and grace. Each time my mom and I met with her I left with my mind at ease because she had each aspect covered. Even my fiance who is the most laid back and no worry person was over impressed with Christine and all that she did. The first time he met her he said to me " I am so glad your parents hired her". Christine allowed me to relax and enjoy my entire engagement process and have the best night of my life at my wedding. All of my friends, family and bridesmaids kept telling me how I was such a relaxed bride and that is because Christine handled everything on my wedding day so I was able to have fun! The entire planning process and wedding night went PERFECT! The entire honeymoon, my husband and I could not stop talking about how every detail of the night was flawless and that was in large, thanks to Christine. Not only does Christine get the job done, she does it with a huge smile and a warm hug every time you see her. Her genuine love & passion for what she does is what puts her work above and beyond!
This is from the father of the bride....and I will say that Christine not only did a fantastic job of keeping things straight.....but made the entire process so much more enjoyable...
for my wife and daughter. Christine was there at every turn....and her coordination of the rehearsal & wedding themselves we're fantastic. In hindsight....I can say without hesitation that our wedding would not have been as enjoyable without her involvement. From this Father of the brides perspective....Christine was the best investment we made in the entire process.
Fanstastic experience! Christine was incredibly professional and made our day so much easier so my family and I could enjoy the day. She was punctual for every meeting and answere...
d every question that I had. Addtionally, she went above and beyond what we expected through her suggestions and coordination with the vendors prior and during the event. Even on the rainiest wedding day that she's probably ever experienced, she made it one of the best days that I could have imagined. She even added a small detail with the rain collected from our day. Not to mention, she is just the nicest person. You can truly see that she has a passion for her work. Defintely worth more than you charged. Thank you so much for everything. Hope to see you soon!

I had the pleasure of having Christine as my wedding planner this past January. She is literally worth her weight in GOLD! Every little detail gets taken care of--even things you d...
idn't realize needed to be! I felt so at ease with her and was able to fully relax and enjoy my day because I had no doubts that everything we had planned was going to fall into place. Whether it was providing a safety pin or realizing my dress had gotten stuck in my shoe during our reception entrance--she literally is a pro. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her assistant :)
When we met Christine, we knew right away that we would choose her to be our wedding planner. She was very friendly and right away we made a connection with her. She focused on mak...
ing our wedding day special for us and it was the most amazing day of our lives. During the planning, we moved out of state, and this was no obstacle for her to continue to connect with us and make sure that everything would be the way we wanted. She was very organized and detail oriented. We felt that she understood our vision and did everything she could to make our day everything we hoped it would be.. She is a kind and sweet person!! Her assistant Logan was also very friendly and helpful. Together, they made sure our day went smoothly and we had nothing to worry about. We HIGHLY recommend Christine, there is NO one like her :)
Christine makes the wedding experience the most magical thing ever! We had a long planning process and her passion and excitement for our day continued to grow with ours! She has a...
n amazing relationship with so many vendors of all price ranges across the Kansas City area. We felt that we had an incredible amount of options with vendors to help make our dreams become a reality. Christine has experience that can assist anyone, an immense passion for weddings/love/celebrations, ideas that can help special details shine on the big day, and AMAZING ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS! She had our day organized down to the minute. All vendors were informed, prepared, and everything was flawless. She had a timeline prepared for the entire wedding party and families involved that were as detailed as they needed to be for each individual person. Christine really made the day/night so perfect and like everything we imagined. But, beyond the perfection of the times, vendors, organization, execution, and such of those details. She is so incredibly invested in each wedding that she participates in. She cares so much that we felt like we were working with a great friend that was just as excited about our love, marriage, and wedding day as we were. This feeling began from the day we met her and continued even past our wedding day. Our wedding day was truly the most perfect day/night and we owe so much of that perfection to Christine. I cannot imagine going through this process without Christine's assistance. I FULLY recommend Christine as well as Celebrations of Love to anyone wanting their wedding day to be the best day of your life and to be the most unbelievable planning experience possible!
Christine has certainly earned her title as best wedding planner in Kansas City. When we started planning our wedding I didn't think a wedding planner was necessary. Looking back n...
ow, I don't know how we could have done it without Christine. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding we never felt like we had to worry. She was so involved with every detail, timeline, guest, and member of the wedding party. She was great to follow up with any questions or any unforeseen issues that popped up. She took care of minor details that were important to us without us even asking. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is worth her weight in gold and we are so appreciative.
There is a reason that all of the reviews for Christine include words like "flawless," "stress-free," and "amazing." I was living in North Carolina, my fiancé was living in Ohio, a...
nd our wedding was in my hometown of Kansas City. Christine was completely unfazed by the logistical challenge that this posed and made our wedding absolutely perfect! Christine is incredibly professional, timely, attentive, and ready for any hiccup that can occur. Whether it was last minute adjustments to a flower crown or reattaching a tuxedo button during photos, she came prepared for anything and everything and never stopped smiling. What I found most impressive about her is her extraordinary tact and her ability to handle all types of family members and guests. She is utterly unflappable in the face of emotional family members, lost luggage, and the general insanity of a wedding day and handles things in a firm, but gracious manner. She is also very creative and is not afraid to try new things. For example, my husband and I started dating in Italy, so we wanted to do a unique catering setup with food stations that allowed for a traditional multi-course Italian meal for 180 guests in a short amount of time. Christine found the perfect caterer (who was probably more excited than we were to try this setup), and the result was stunning! Our wedding went off without a hitch, and it is no exaggeration to say that we couldn't have done it without Celebrations of Love!
Christine was fantastic! My husband was actually skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. When he met Christine that all changed. I cannot express enough how grateful I was to ...
have her. She made the day perfect! She handled all the details and I was able to enjoy the wedding and reception knowing that everything was under control. I would highly recommend her!
Christine is the most amazing person. Our wedding was absolutely flawless thanks to her! She cares so much about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure that everything ...
meets their expectations. She truly is the best at what she does, and we are so extremely happy with our Celebrations of Love KC experience!
