Champagne Magnolias Events

Krista saved us from so much stress leading up to our wedding and throughout the entire day. She is an absolute baller angel -- she kept us on time, kept track of everything for me, she reapplied my lipstick, got me into & bustled my dress, made sure we ate and had alcohol and everything in between. I'm so glad we had her! Hire her, you will not regret it!!!

Krista and her team were AMAZING to work with. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. In the months leading up to the wedding, Krista and her team helped keep us on track with the timeline and communicating with our vendors. Krista was always readily available to answer any of our questions. Working with Krista and her team reduced so much stress. I can't recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!!

Krista and her whole team truly work wedding day magic!! Krista herself is so on top of things, and makes it a point to know how you want every little detail to go and then executes it perfectly. She took care of everything on our wedding day and I had the most stress-free experience. It was the most amazing feeling to be able to leave everything in the hands of Krista and her team and just purely enjoy my wedding day, and that’s why hiring a planner (particularly Champagne Magnolias) is so worth it!! I would hire Krista a thousand times over again!! She is such a joy to work with and our wedding most definitely would not have been as enjoyable without her!!

I was on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator and did a lot of research into different companies and packages. Before having my wedding, I didn't really understand what a day-of coordinator actually *did.* Hiring Krista & Champagne Magnolias was truly one of the BEST decisions I made for our wedding!!!! From the minute we had our kickoff call, I told her that I felt so much better and calmer about the process. As the day grew closer, it felt so reassuring to know that Krista had our backs and was reaching out on our behalf to confirm final details with our other vendors. Krista's services truly shined on our wedding day. She brought a fun yet calming spirit to our wedding party and was an absolute HYPE WOMAN!! There are so many tiny details that I never considered when planning the wedding (Who will set up the table numbers? How will my dress be transported from the hotel to the venue? Who will tell my bridal party when it is time for them to walk down the aisle?) and I simply could not have managed all this without Krista. If you are reading this and you are on the fence about hiring Champagne Magnolias.... DO IT!!! <3

I cannot say enough positive things about the entire Champagne Magnolia’s team . From the moment we hired Krista as our “day of coordinator”,she was attentive, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. What we were truly drawn to was that her DOC started 3 months out! The team handled every detail with grace and professionalism, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. They were there to put out any fire! Krista was a calming presence right when I needed her most, three months out before the big day, to navigate those stressful wrenches that get thrown. Krista, Megan & Kimber were heaven sent on the day of the wedding, they took care of everything so that we could focus on enjoying the day. As a “type A” bride they were there to remind me to shut off my brain & enjoy the day! Krista was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and her expertise and experience were invaluable. I highly recommend Champagne Magnolia’s to any couple looking for someone who is dedicated, reliable, and truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable. Thank you Krista, Megan & Kimber for making our day truly special and stress-free!

THE BEST WEDDING PLANNING COMPANY! My husband and I had the honor to have Krista and her team help us plan our wedding. From the moment we met Krista her bubbly personality made me feel valued, welcomed, and like a friend. Our monthly/weekly planning calls were something I looked forward to as she was so organized, professional, and took all the wedding stress away! 3 weeks before the wedding I was in a serious car accident and didn’t even know if we would be getting married. Krista came through for us like no other during this truly challenging time. She made sure that all of the wedding prep was taken care of so I could focus on my recovery & getting down the aisle! She not only was amazing during the planning/prep but during the wedding day she literally managed every situation beautifully, made us feel so supported, and ensured that everything went off without a hitch. I truly do not have enough words to express how much Krista and her team mean to my husband and I. I am so grateful to have them be a huge part of our wedding day and forever will be so grateful that we hired Champagne Magnolias to plan our wedding!!!

We used Champagne Magnolias for our wedding this past June. We were not going to use a wedding planner but were so thankful we did. Krista and her team were incredible. She is so experienced and thinks of every single detail, and makes sure it is all going smoothly every step of the way. Her extensive check lists and regular scheduled check in calls were always fun and made the process so enjoyable. On the day of she was incredible in ensuring every vendor was doing exactly as they were supposed to and kept the day/night running smoothly without any issues. She really took the pressure off of us ands let us just enjoy the day, Thank you so much Krista and team! Y'all are the best

Krista and her team were absolutely pivotal in the success of our wedding day. The smartest pre-planning decision we made was hiring Champagne Magnolia. I would do it a million times again - HIGHLY recommend. There was not a task remaining 4 weeks before the wedding; my husband and I were able to approach wedding day without any stress or worry that something wasn’t done. Don’t look any further - go with Champagne Magnolia.

KRISTA/CHAMPAGNE MAGNOLIAS IS NECESSARY!!! So many people told me I did not need a day of coordinator but hiring Krista was one of my best decisions during the wedding planning process. Despite being a little Type A, I definitely needed some help and guidance staying on track leading up to our wedding. Our planning meetings started 90 days out and without them, I definitely would have been scrambling the week before to make sure I had everything we needed/wanted. She made me think of certain things that I would not have without our meetings. Krista also helped coordinate all of our vendors arrival times, contracts, etc. We had a bunch of décor items coming from different vendors and Krista was able to help us keep track of all of them. I didn't even know when the items arrived because Krista handled it all and made sure all arrived safely. She also made sure the two of us had the best day possible. Between making sure we ate, helping me repair my dress 87 times, removing a couple stains...I can't thank her enough. Krista most importantly BROUGHT THE HYPE! My girls and I had so much fun with her getting ready. She was extremely professional and made sure all was going smoothly of course, but having such a positive and fun person to hang out with was an added bonus. If you're debating hiring someone for wedding day management you can't go wrong with Krista and her team. I was genuinely sad when she left because she really helped make our day perfect and fun. THANK YOU KRISTA!!!!

I am so happy with my decision to hire Krista and her team to help in the months leading up to my wedding and for day-of assistance. Tori was my day-of coordinator and was fantastic! Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Krista and her team. My husband and I were completely blown away by their dedication throughout the entire planning process. From the very first meeting with Krista, she took the time to understand our vision for the wedding. She didn't just listen to our ideas, she built upon them, suggesting unique and creative touches that we never would have thought of ourselves. Krista is also a master organizer. She kept us on track with our timeline and worked so well with our vendors, and she was always available to answer our questions. On the wedding day itself, Krista and her team were a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of the day. She handled any and all issues that arose seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. I cannot recommend Champagne Magnolias highly enough. She is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication, and we wouldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without her.

Godsend!! Helped me get on the right track of planning! Helped me with all my decisions. Calmed my husband and I throughout the whole day. Made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. Do not regret making the decision to get some extra help.

Hire Krista and Champagne Magnolias Events, you will not regret it! Looking back this is one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. Krista was so helpful and answers emails insanely fast! She is very organized and is there whenever a question pops up. She made the rehearsal at our church a breeze and told everyone where to go and when to be there! The day of the wedding Krista and her team were AMAZING! They made it so much fun, brought the best energy, and kept everything on schedule! Krista, we appreciate you and Champagne Magnolias Events and will recommend your business to everyone we know!

Our wedding only happened because of Krista. My fiance had his heart set on a non-traditional venue (Battleship New Jersey) that unfortunately lost its event coordinator at some point in the wedding planning process and replaced that person with a man who promises the world but is the sleaziest of used car salesmen. Over and over again we were told "Jack will arrange that" "Jack will do it" "no problem" while being given no contact information, no guidance, not even additional pricing. It was a terrible experience, with the crowing moment being told 3 months before the wedding that the area for the ceremony was under construction and would not be ready before our wedding. We invited 170 and were lucky only 120 could make it, because the venue never could have sat that many people. 3 weeks before our wedding we were able to meet with "Jack" and Krista and the caterer (also great - Andreotti's) and Krista was able to find a spot on the ship where we could have the ceremony while the caterer still was able to ready the dinner. Krista designed the semi circle chairs so we could still have the view of Philadephia. Krista brought the table numbers. Krista queued the wedding party when the newly hired event coordinator for the ship who showed up half an hour before the ceremony started didn't. Krista boarded the ship to ensure the vendors knew where to go and where to set up and set up the chairs since the venue did not - Jack told us 3 days before the wedding that he'd be attending his nephew's wedding instead. Without Krista, it simply wouldn't have happened. In hindsight, I would have hired her as a full time planner instead of partial in an instant - if I could do it all over again that's what I would do. She is kind, fun, organised, professional, and gets it done. The best, bar none. Oh, and her assistant Tori was so kind and sweet and made sure I could take off my shoes and got me drinks!

I cannot express enough how grateful my husband and I are for the exceptional service provided by Krista + the Champagne Magnolia’s team. Every detail of our day was flawlessly executed and truly magical. Krista was on top of all of the details and made the entire planning process stress free. The level of organization and coordination exhibited was beyond our expectations, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day flowed effortlessly. Krista is kind, professional, and brings a sense of reassurance to what can be a stressful process. From our initial consultation she felt like a friend and was someone we fully trusted. Our wedding day was amazing and we owe a significant portion of that to Krista. If you are looking for a wedding planner who combines creativity, organization, and genuine care for their clients - look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Krista to anyone seeking an unforgettable and stress-free wedding experience. She is worth every star and more!

Krista absolutely deserves more than 5 stars. For the past year and a half, she helped us to envision the day of our wedding from decor to setup. Even with all of the other events that she plans, she has always been responsive, getting back to us even more quickly than we would have assumed. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly thanks to Krista (and if it didn’t, we didn’t know). We got to have fun during the entire wedding without sweating the numerous small details. Through the entire experience, we thought of Krista as a friend and not just our wedding planner. Krista is a wonderful human being whom you can trust on the most important day of your life to deliver an absolute fantastic wedding experience!

You need Krista and Champagne Magnolias for your big day! If you're debating if you need a month of coordinator for your wedding, take my word for it...you do! Having Krista and CM there for me in the month leading up to my wedding and the day of was invaluable. From handling vendor communications to building my timeline to helping set up and break down decor to literally chasing off drunk hecklers during the ceremony. Champagne Magnolia and team thought of EVERYTHING! They were 5 steps ahead at all points of the day. I felt like the most relaxed bride the day of my wedding and somehow had extra time in my timeline to spend quality time with my bridal party beforehand. I can say with 1000% confidence that I wouldn't have felt so at ease without Krista and her team. They will be your biggest hype team and do everything you dreamed of...even if it's something crazy...like a shoey toast.

Hiring the Champagne Magnolia Events team was one of my BEST wedding decisions!!! Krista is extremely sharp and organized in every way!!! I was in very good hands with this team who kept me calm and happy all day long!! Also they got some pictures and videos of me which was SO special to wake up to! As a type A bride it’s an absolute yes from me…

Krista and her team at Champagne Magnolias are simply the best. I truly believe my wedding wouldn’t have been the absolute dream day it was without Krista and her team. From our first initial phone meeting, I knew Krista was someone I needed to have on my side for my wedding day. She spared no expense and missed no details when it came to making sure every aspect of my wedding day was handled. I cannot recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and hire her because even if you think you don’t need a coordinator/planner, you do. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day and instead was able to be fully present and take in the moment of my special day and it was all thanks to Krista. Not only is she professional and amazing at her job, she also has the amazing personality to match. I immediately knew I could trust Krista and I am so glad I did. I could go on and on about how thankful I am I had her and her team for my big day. I would absolutely recommend Champagne Magnolias to anyone planning a wedding, they are the best team!

I’ve rewritten this review several time because it’s hard to put into words how truly AMAZING Krista was! If nothing else, PLEASE book Champagne Magnolias for your wedding day! We definitely went into planning our wedding with a lot of nerves and Krista managed to put us completely at ease. From our very first call, we knew we found our superhero. We booked Krista for day of coordinating but she gave us so much more! The attention to detail and dedication that she puts into her craft is exactly why she’s so great at what she does. Krista flawlessly executed our vision and organized all of our vendors while managing to keep everyone on schedule - she even managed to give my husband and I some extra time to breathe before our reception. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and Krista’s coordination skills and attention to detail were the key! She was literally there every step of the day and was ten steps ahead ready to for anything…she literally remade my husband’s boutonnière when it wilted after church on the bus ride back to the venue! There will never be enough words that we can say to thank her enough! We would definitely work with her again! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were their own, keep you calm and even have some laughs along the way, Champagne Magnolias is definitely who you need!

I thoroughly could not write enough positive things about Krista! She had amazing communication throughout the whole process, even before her time as the "day of coordinator" even started. She answered any question and was always there to help. On the actual day itself she was amazing and on top of everything.

Our wedding planning journey was an absolute dream, thanks to the incredible expertise and dedication of Krista and her team at Champagne Magnolias. From the very beginning, Krista proved to be a true professional, always prompt in her communication, five steps ahead of every concern, an exceptional coordinator with vendors, and someone who was willing to step in and do any job necessary to ensure our special day was flawless. Everytime we met with Krista, our worries and concerns immediately melted away. As a type A bride, we went into every meeting with a list of questions or concerns that were always addressed before I even had the chance to mention them. Krista's timely communication made us feel valued and supported each step of the way. The coordination skills displayed by Krista were truly unbelievable. She effortlessly communicated with ALL of our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page and working towards our shared vision. Her ability to bring all the pieces together was truly remarkable. On our wedding day, Krista and her team were ALWAYS five steps ahead of my every thought. Krista is truly meant to be a wedding planner. She kept our (at times, rowdy) bridal party in line and made sure they were exactly where they needed to be, so that we didn’t have to worry. The team worked so well together and with the other vendors that we ran 45 minutes ahead of our timeline, which allowed us extra time for our first look, photos and to honestly take in every moment before our ceremony. One of the things that truly set Krista apart was her willingness to go above and beyond her role as a wedding planner. She stepped in as seamstress, photographer, videographer, etc. Any job we needed that day, she was ready for the challenge. We cannot say thank you enough. We would recommend Champagne Magnolias to any and every couple planning a wedding. Champagne Magnolias truly made ALL of our wedding day dreams come true!

If you’re thinking of hiring a coordinator. Just do it. Krista will be the glue to your wedding day!!! I don’t know if we could have done it without Krista and her team. I never wanted this over done wedding, but shhh don’t repeat this, my mom had other plans and became momzilla. After our first call, I knew Krista was down to earth like me. Each call was just like talking to a friend not to a stranger. On the day of the wedding, I knew I made the right choice. Meeting Krista and her team was just like catching up with long distance friends or family. She made sure my girls and I were taken care of, that everything was moving on time and smoothly, and advocating for me every step of the way. Thanks for dealing with my mom!!! Super apologize for that one. Krista especially came in clutch when one of our groomsmen stained his shirt and she instantly fixed it. Like without her his tux would have been ruined!!! He’s actually getting married there next year and already wants to hire her. She took my vision of all my layouts to the next level and wowed not only my guest but brought me to tears. She will forever be part of the highest day of our lives… she became a friend. I can’t recommend this girl and her fabulous team enough!!!

I recently worked with Krista from Champagne Magnolias for my May wedding and had the best experience. I chose a venue that is a bit chaotic and Krista made sure that everything ran smoothly and I was not overwhelmed by ANYTHING. She is professional, efficient and absolutely brought my vision to life. We spent a lot of time going through all the details for design, timeline etc and everything was executed perfectly. She is so fun to work with, so down to earth and really just the best. She and her team did not miss any details. I 1000000% recommend using her for any and all events. She will make you laugh and also make your life so much easier!

HIRE KRISTA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Don’t waste your time. Just call krista and her team. Im not kidding when I say this - every detail I imagined for our wedding came to life. Literally nothing went wrong and if it did - I had no idea. Hire her for planning and day of coordination, it is 1000% worth it. One of my bridesmaids ended up immediately hiring her the same day as our wedding which makes me excited because I’ll get to see her again! Our friend group said it was THE wedding of the year and it wasn’t anything crazy fancy - everything just went so smoothly and there was so much love in the day. She handles all the vendor shenanigans etc. and shes just genuinely a nice person- just do it! Shout out to tori too her assistant crushing our decor!

Krista and her team were amazing and took care of every detail. During the planning process, Krista came prepared with easy to fill out forms and she was always one step ahead of us. When we didn't know how we wanted something, she was always prepared with a variety of ideas that we could pick from or use as a jumping board. She always got back quickly and her availability to jump on zoom calls with us or our vendors really helped. She was our biggest supporter and really helped alleviate the monumental stress that comes with planning a 200 person wedding by being there for us, providing words of encouragement, and proving her expertise over and over again. On the day of, WE HAD A PERFECT DAY. If anything went wrong, we surely don't know about it because Krista or her assistants took care of anything before it got to us. They were prepared, coordinated with the venue and vendors flawlessly and exuded professionalism and more importantly FUN. Always in the periphery, if we needed them, they could be found and often anticipated our needs. We are so thankful to have hired Champagne Magnolias and recommend them enthusiastically to anyone. They are worth every penny.

We booked with a Landmark venue, and a stylist/event coordinator booked us. She assured that we would not have to hire a day of coordinator because they have similar responsibilities. However, she left and our wedding was handed to several other people. I was getting nervous and decided to look into day of coordinators. Krista said something that I'll never forget: a coordinator with the venue will always advocate for the venue, whereas a day of coordinator will always advocate for you. That, and her knowledge of weddings made me book her. Prior to the wedding itself, she was always available, answered promptly, did a tour with us of the venue, brought up questions/ideas I never thought of, and was involved in our final details meeting. On the day of the wedding, I knew I made the right choice with Krista and her team. Meeting Krista and her team was just like catching up with old friends. She made sure my girls and I were taken care of, that everything was moving on time and smoothly, and advocating for me every step of the way, just like she promised. She also took care of my fur baby, and held my dress so I didn't fall into a lake. Krista is so kind and so generous, I wish my wedding wasn't the only time I'd work with her. She truly is amazing at her job, and it's so evident she loves what she does. I would have regretted not having her as part of the wedding planning process and the day of. Thank you for everything, Krista !

Let me tell you how amazing Krista, Gab and Emily are - I could not have done this day without them. Krista was my voice of reason and listened to my multiple rants, texts and bride woes. She told me about my venue and helped pick a tie for my husband! Wonderful, amazing, supportive! If you are thinking should I book and event planner? The answer is 100% yes and choose Champagne Magnolias!!

Krista and her team are EXACTLY who any couple would want by their side on their wedding day. They easily exceeded all expectations. They came prepared, understanding our vision, and acted as though we had been lifelong friends. I cannot begin to explain how having a day of coordinator alleviated so much stress.. Even my husband has said this was a MUST even though originally he felt it was unnecessary. 10/10 book Krista and her team.

Krista was the life-saver, best-friend-for-a-day, confidant, and organizer I didn't even know I needed. I was so stressed before finding Krista, but as soon as she came on board, my husband and I were instantly more calm. She also handled our signage and a ton of event design. I really feel so lucky to have had Krista at my event and I would recommend her to ANYONE. She took so much off our plate, most importantly she took all of the month-of vendor coordinating off our plate which was incredible. We just had to show up, she took care of the rest (vendor timelines, parking, instructions, handing out tips, etc...). HIRE HER!!!

Krista was a must have for us! A true life savor. My review is way way over due! Our amazing Wedding was December 19th 2020. And without Krista I mentally would not have made it. Our Covid micro wedding was absolutely amazing and everything I dreamed of all thanks to Krista's calm demeanor, savvy ideas and incredible organization skills. As many Covid brides we had a wedding booked at a venue for 300 people and chose to reschedule to June of 2022. We decided we couldn't wait until then to get married. We planned to have our immediate family and bridal party do full wedding day. This included formal church mass and reception for a total of 50 people to be held in my parents backyard....in the winter. I immediately identified this was a big task and needed help. Especially after working as an RN in the hospital with Covid, planning and rescheduling our wedding I was OVER IT. I interviewed 3 planners and Krista was the last one I spoke with, I chose her on the spot. She calmed my nerves and made a plan right then and there. I got excited again. She knew what I needed and tackled the job right away. Now with Covid nothing was easy of course. The restrictions changed as the winter came. We now had to cancel our 50 person wedding and scale it back to immediate family only . THANK GOD I HAD KRISTA!!! Krista didn't hesitate and cancelled and rebooked all reservations. She had to Listen to me cry, vent and sulk and never made me feel bad about it. Krista made a new plan and we started to get to work. Now let's jump to wedding day! We had a timeline we had a plan. We were doing everything. Make up, hair ,photographer, full mass which was streamed for all 300 guest. Did all formal photos, father daughter dance, first dance. Cake cutting. EVERYTHING. I was so nervous. I called krista an hour prior to her arrival ,I needed her now. And she was there! Hopefully I can attach photos, Krista set up the house beautifully, and the day went off with out a hiccup. (Oh actually the lights my dad installed on the ceiling caught fire while we were outside taking pictures, Krista and her assistant put out the fire and we had no idea until an hour later. ) so she's a fire fighter too! Other than that the day was seriously a dream come true. Krista did everything for us and made our wedding day perfect. It seriously could not have been done without her. Unfortunately I did not have krista do our wedding at the Hamilton manor this past June. Two stupid reasons- 1 we had a baby in between and by the time I tackled wedding stuff we forgot to book her on time and 2 we had our on-site "planner" (who was amazing with all the details) but was not nearly enough for what we need on wedding day. My advice is book the planner, spend the extra money! It's a blip in what you're spending on your wedding as a whole. Krista will make sure every penny spent was worth it and more! I can't thank Krista enough for all her hard work and seriously making our wedding day, the day of our dreams.

If you think a planner isn't necessary because you're having a laid back, low maintenance elopement, THINK AGAIN! Krista and the CM team made our wedding even more relaxed than I could have ever imagined. They handled everything from researching private wooded ceremony areas to basically doing my MAKE UP on my wedding day. Krista made it the best day of my life! Hire Champagne Magnolias, you will not regret it!

Krista is a bride’s dream come true. Amongst the long list of to-dos, deadlines and details, Krista provides organization, order and ease. From the first day we met, I felt like I had someone I could ask the “dumb” questions to, as she has the experience many brides don’t of seeing many different wedding plans. Krista always had options and helped me feel comfortable to be decisive and continue into the next task or focus area. I thought the lead up and planning was great with Krista, but then I experienced the rehearsal and day of. Krista had the details down and communicated in a way that made it easy for the whole wedding party, myself and my groom. We didn’t have to stress about timing because we knew where we were supposed to be and when at all times. And as things came up, Krista was always there with a solution and assistance. Krista is also really skilled in content creation, which made remembering and sharing my day very easy and stress free. I know that our day would not have been as amazing as it was without Krista. I really cannot recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!

5 stars is not enough! Krista is truly THE BEST. I hired Krista as a day-of coordinator for my wedding, but she was much much more. Starting months in advance, Krista was in frequent communication to ensure that planning was going smoothly. She was always available for questions, support, ANYTHING! In the weeks leading up to my wedding, Krista handled all communications with vendors, which was an enormous stress relief. It allowed me to truly enjoy the lead-up to my wedding and gave me peace-of-mind that it was in good hands. On wedding day, Krista was IN CHARGE, organized, helpful, supportive, and truly the most fun to be around. She was always there when I needed anything - even to fan me off and give me cold water in the heat! She managed the entire day - bridal party, family, vendors, timelines, and decorations. I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding day without Krista and am so so thankful for her!

Krista and her Champagne Magnolias team made our wedding day dreams come true. She put so much time and effort into helping us plan, contacting vendors, and sharing her creativity and knowledge with us. Krista had a solution and an idea for everything and it made the process exciting and stress-free. Our guests and bridal party absolutely loved them and they cannot stop talking about how helpful, personable, and resourceful the team was. Krista and her team will be your best friends on your wedding day and I can’t recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!

I could not have gotten through wedding planning and my wedding day without Krista. She was the glue through this entire process. I was feeling so overwhelmed and stressed before Krista's guidance. She came along and made all that disappear. She thinks of every detail no matter how big or small and makes herself extremely accessible throughout the entire process. We live states away from my venue in Colorado, but Krista worked her magic and still managed to get me the best vendors and made my wedding day the best day of my life. Krista truly will ensure that your day is smooth and stress free while simultaneously making sure everything is magical. I 1000% recommend having Krista plan your wedding and any other special event you may have in your life! She is the BEST at what she does!

Having Krista and her team help with my wedding was the easiest decision I made!!! Between contacting vendors, creating the most detailed timeline and keeping me calm the day of, Krista did it all. She was quick to respond, professional, and down to earth. I valued her knowledge of the industry when making decisions. It was so nice having her take all the last minute wedding stress off of my shoulders. I would hire her again for any event, big or small!

I do not have enough kind or complimentary words to say about Krista and Champagne Magnolias. From the start of wedding planning, Krista had been so helpful and attentive with any concerns I had and direction I needed. Krista is so fantastic and professional in her work while also being personable. I could not have done wedding planning without Krista and my day would not have been what it was without her and the team. Everyone would highly benefit from having someone like Champagne Magnolias on their side during the most special time !!!

Krista and her team helped me to plan my December 2019 wedding, and I would have been lost without her! The wedding planning process was so overwhelming for me, and she took care of all the details and booking for me! She called vendors, booked appointments and kept my timelines in order so that my day ran smoothly! I can’t recommend Champagne Magnolias enough for keeping me sane and for making my big day everything I dreamed of!

I could not have been more happy with hiring Champagne Magnolias for my wedding at Scotland Run. Krista and the team were able to create the exact vision that I was looking for. She made the entire wedding planning process more relaxing for me as the bride. I can not recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!!

Krista was so amazing that my future sister in law booked her literally at our wedding! We hired her as the day of coordinator but she did so much more. I think the best example of how amazing Krista is is when I had the rings in a pouch in the getting ready room, next thing I know the rings are in the right place at the right time, I didn’t even have to tell Krista where they were. She knows what to do and when to do it and made suggestions along the way that I would have never thought of! Not to mention she is just a great person ❤️ I can’t say enough good things. HIRE KRISTA!

Krista is an absolutely amazing wedding coordinator! The reason we looked into a day of coordinator was because I had a lot of DIY decor, including my own florals and centerpieces. Krista has a down to earth personality and her pricing was very reasonable so it was an easy decision. She had not worked at my venue before so she asked to set up an in person meeting with my venue coordinator about two months before our wedding, which really helped us figure out all the little details. Krista checked in regularly the month before our wedding, helped me organize timelines and paperwork, and was very responsive if I had any questions. Krista went above and beyond in multiple ways the weekend of our wedding. Even though the church and our venue was an hour away from her, she traveled to the church for our rehearsal the night before to meet with our families, our bridal party, and our deacon as well as to see how our ceremony was going to go. For the day of our wedding, anytime we needed something, she was there. She really made our day stress free because she thought of all the little last minute things so I didn't have to worry about them. She kept checking in with us in the bridal suite asking if we needed anything while working with the venue behind the scenes to set up my décor. She helped my husband and all the guys with their boutonnieres and kept everyone on track. Most importantly, she made my décor vision come to life. My cocktail hour and reception were set up just how I pictured (and I only provided very general instructions) and I literally teared up when I saw how beautiful everything came out. My favorite Krista moment was in between wedding photographs and our cocktail hour. The long train of my gorgeous dress got dirty and wet during photographs outside so Krista recommended trying to dry it so my bustle wouldn't break with the extra water weight. Krista spent at least 15-20 minutes with me using Tide-to-Go wipes on my dress stains (which worked really well by the way) while I blow dried my dress with a hair dryer in my suite. My dress still looked amazing for cocktail hour and reception plus my bustle stayed up the whole night! During the reception, she discretely stayed in communication with me with little things and worked with the venue Maitre’d to make sure the night ran smoothly. At the end of the night, Krista made sure all my décor was packed up and ready for us to pick up in the morning, which was a huge help. Our wedding was such an amazing day and Krista was an integral part of making our wedding day a success. She was extremely organized and professional with everyone – family members, my bridal party, my vendors, etc. Krista worked seamlessly with my venue coordinator and the venue with the décor and logistics and our reception space was stunning due to her hard work. She’s very responsive, always prepared, and overall made everything less stressful for us. She’s so personable and made me feel calm the whole day. She truly felt like a friend and I knew she had our backs if there was an issue. I loved working with Krista and would highly recommend her!

Krista did such a wonderful job for my daughter’s wedding in September 2021. She was very detailed and had the best creations. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. I look forward to working with her again when the time comes for my younger daughter’s wedding plans.

I made the decision to hire Krista & Champagne Magnolias a little later into the planning process after realizing I needed help with a day-of timeline and decor setup. From our very first call, I knew I made the right choice. Krista immediately put my type A OCD bride mind at ease. She was accessible, responsive, she handled vendor communication, and followed up on the types of tiny details that kept me up at night. Her day-of timeline and decor sheet helped me stay organized. She attended my final venue walkthrough and even helped us unload our decor. On the day of my wedding, she was absolutely instrumental in bringing my vision to life by setting up all my decor, repurposing it for the reception, and keeping everyone on schedule. Besides that, she was an awesome hype woman, helped with my bustle, kept the microphone away from my brother (lol), helped us pull off a private last dance, and stayed to pack up all my decor at the end of the night. If you don’t hire Krista, you’re crazy! -Allie and Tom Karas
