Working with Christa was an absolute pleasure. She is a real professional and extremely organized, but also kind and warm and there when you need her. She helped us stay on track and managed all the vendor relationships which helped tremendously. I really appreciated having her as a thought partner along the way.
The day of the wedding, she worked closely with the venue and vendors to make sure everything was on track and everyone knew what they needed to know. This meant that my family and I had a stress-free and carefree day! Her assistant, Valerie, who helped us with strike down and packing at the end of the night was also incredibly sweet and extremely helpful! Thank you Christa and team <3
Christa was an absolutely essential part of our wedding planning process, from her check in emails the months prior, to her expertise in the month before the wedding. She is extremely organized, communicative with other vendors, and put our minds at ease in the month leading up to the wedding. She and her assistants did a great job putting together our vision day of helped our day run smoothly. I would highly recommend Christa to anyone!
Christa did a great job making my vision come to life. She was very organized. She had a detailed timeline emailed to all of the vendors. She met with me a few times to review everything. I never heard about any problems on the day of the wedding and was able to just relax because Christa took care of everything. The wedding looked beautiful and went smoothly thanks to Christa. I would highly recommend her.
This was the most elegant and beautiful wedding I have ever attended. I have been in the wedding industry (cakes) for 35 years. The wedding was flawless!! Christa did a fabulous job. You deserve 6 stars!!
Christa was a wonderful choice of wedding planner for our wedding. We immediately felt that she cared about us and our special day, and as we continued to work with her that feeling was validated. I loved that I could go to her with all of my questions, and she knew everything and always had an answer for me, it was so valuable to have an expert help with planning such a large event. As we got closer to the wedding, I felt so confident that all our combined hard work was going to pay off, and I am sure I was significantly less stressed than I would have been without Christa. She ran our rehearsal, came to the last meetings, made lots of the phone calls I was dreading, and most importantly, she ran the wedding on the day so we could all enjoy it without worrying. Probably the best money we spent on the wedding was on our wedding planner, thank you!
I would not have gotten through my wedding if it weren't for Christa. That is not an exaggeration. I have gone to other weddings where there was no planner/coordinator, or weddings where the planner/coordinator is very high-strung and emanates stress (you know the type). Christa was SO easy to work with, and she always put me at ease. We did partial planning with her (as we already had our venue picked out), and she was amazing at helping us find other vendors for linens, flowers, DJ/videography, etc. We met with her about every month or two to ensure we were on track, and these meetings always ended up feeling like we were just meeting with a friend who happened to be really knowledgeable about planning a wedding. My #1 goal with hiring Christa was to not be stressed about my wedding, and that absolutely happened, especially leading up to my wedding and the day of. In the weeks before our wedding, Christa called all our vendors, ironed out all the details, while I just sat back and made sure I was ready; and the day of was even easier! If there was a problem, I never knew about it (which was exactly what I wanted; I didn't want to be so involved in the details on my wedding day that I couldn't be present and actually enjoy it). Christa is a wedding fairy godmother. For our partial planning package with her, she had us do a questionnaire and pick out pictures of things we like, that way she could put together a mood board, and she totally understood what we wanted. After that, it was so helpful in picking things out to get her opinion on what she thought we'd like. She'd stay neutral but also be ready with an opinion when we asked. If you're looking for a genuine partner in planning your wedding, Christa is your girl. I am forever thankful we found her, because she helped to make our wedding exactly what we wanted but so we could also actually enjoy it.
Christa was amazing! Very professional, super organized, she is very kind, calm and on top of things from planning to execution everything was just perfect. I hired her for planning a surprise 40th birthday party for my fiance and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Guests and the birthday boy were truly blown away by the setup. They had never seen a party like it before. her sourcing contacts for the party were just as professional and awesome as she is. Thank You so much for making it a memorable party! Look forward to working with you again some day.
Christa was absolutely wonderful! We chose a venue without a lot of built-in services, so we had a lot of vendors to juggle and did a lot of things DIY. She was instrumental in making sure all of our vendors, families, and wedding party members were all in the loop for the entire weekend by sending a detailed and accurate itinerary and orchestrating communication between our DJ, caterer, venue, and more. Her team also transported and set up all of our homemade decorations and flowers so we were able to enjoy our wedding morning. She is friendly, responsible, SO organized, and flexible. We couldn't have done it without her!
Christa is a lifesaver. When we first hired her in September 2019, she was immediately approachable, fun, and VERY organized. Little did we know that a global pandemic would hit and derail all of our beautiful plans. Christa completely took it in stride, and planned 4 versions of our wedding for us—all of which were so beautiful and unique and completely us. She has truly gotten us through this pandemic, and I know we wouldn’t have had the gorgeous ceremony we did without her. She was such a calming presence throughout the whole process, and became a friend along the way. She provided our wedding party and vendors with very detailed minute-by-minute instructions so that we were completely compliant with COVID protocols, and we could just relax and enjoy our day. She coordinated all of our vendors and reviewed the contracts for us to ensure we wouldn’t lose a ton of money if we had to postpone. We are so thrilled with our initial decision to hire Christa, and we will be using her for all of our events in the future.
We were lucky enough to find Christa about 5 months before our wedding (we had to fire our first planner)...we booked her for partial planning and the out of town guests package (if you have out of town guests, especially older ones get this add-on it's worth it!). She was a LIFESAVER! Christa was SO ORGANIZED, sending us milestone checklists (i.e. what to do 4 months before, a month before, etc), and checking in with us and keeping us up to date on the things we wanted/needed to know but never overwhelmed us - its was perfect balance. Christa thought of details I hadn't considered such as, brochures for out of town guests - they ended up being super cute and super helpful for guests. Christa even answered my dad's questions and my mother in law's questions; she was always consistent in her communication and response time and super dependable. Christa pulled the wedding together better than I could have ever even imagined - it was more perfect than my wildest dreams. THANK YOU CHRISTA!!!!!!!!!!
Christa Grahm was the wedding planner for one of our brides weddings recently. She was super friendly, organized, and helpful! She made sure to reach out well before the wedding and share the schedule with my team. I would highly recommend her!
I have worked with Christa on numerous events. Her attention to detail is impeccable. From your first meeting with her to the final details you will find complete satisfaction. As a Metro Detroit native I find she brings her wealth of knowledge and southern grace to our state to achieve success. You will not be disapointed !
Christa’s planning skills are organized and seamless. She orchestrates all logistics with every detail in mind. Her kind spirit is welcoming and she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish!
She organized a very professional styled photoshoot...the whole time she was polite, alert, and knowledgeable. She was very helpful, and did a wonderful job. Can’t wait for the next time.
My wife and I were beyond happy with Christa! It was such an incredible experience. I wouldn't have wanted anyone one else to plan it!
Christa is so great to work with!
Christa was a pleasure to work with! She was punctual, and kept me well informed. Her creativity is second to none. I look forward to working with her in the near future.

Christa was a guest on an episode of my podcast called "How to Plan a Party". She talked about event planning in general, and really did an amazing job at teaching my audience about what it really takes to plan an awesome event. She brought such great content to my listeners that it remains one of my most popular episodes to date!
Given everything I've seen of Christa, I am 100% confident that she will make an amazing planner for your special day. You're in good hands :)
A pleasure to work with, had good vision, and was organized. She handled all the details to keep stress at bay. Thank you!

I highly recommend working with her--she will not disappoint!
Christa is great! She is so personal, you’ll feel like you’ve known her your whole life. She was so helpful, kind, punctual, organized, and made planning a lot less stressful. I would definitley reccomend her if you’re looking for someone to plan your wedding or even a birthday party.
I have worked with Christa on several events. Her level of organization, attention to detail and ability to always maintain deadlines creates an incredibly stress free environment for not only the bride and groom but for all of the vendors they have paid for as well. Her professionalism is second to none that I have worked with in the 20 years I have been involved in weddings.
Christina planned a stellar event that was logistically seamless. From check in to the post event follow up, no detail was missed. Her attention to detail set the tone of the delight and professionalism of the event.
