Christie Rose Events

eption at Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara. Her planning fee was THE BEST investment of the entire wedding(s). Christie is a dream to work with and handles event complexity and multiple moving parts with equanimity and composure. My family and I survived this crazy year with our sanity intact due to Christie's masterful event management and planning. Several highlights of our experience include: - She is incredibly fast and responsive on email, text, and phone. She never dropped the ball on any one of our hundreds of separate planning email threads or communications with 20+ wedding vendors. I don't know how she does it, but she has 100% grasp of all the details down to remembering who will bring the markers appropriate to writing on a chalkboard directional sign, or what kinds of snacks the bride and groom will get between the ceremony and photography session. - She is always wonderful and pleasant, and it is clear that she does what she loves! Although she has probably participated in hundreds of decor planning sessions, she always approached each conversation with an energetic attitude and excitement about making our decor visions come to life. We had a lot of fun dreaming up concepts for dance stages, swagged fabric in trees, unique DIY art projects etc. My husband was incredibly relieved that I had a designated outlet for the endless hours of design brainstorming that was not him :) - She listened carefully to what we wanted and always circled back to make sure the event was tracking according to our expectations. In particular, I am a very "anti flower ball" type of person, and Christie identified vendors who could deliver a more organic and rustic feel for the decor. - On the day of the wedding, her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to move wedding gear, clean up bridal party hang out spaces, move the guests from point A to point B, and make sure the vendors executed on schedule. I cannot stress how important this was in helping us relax and enjoy our wedding! - She deals tactfully with opinionated in-laws and vendor mess ups to bring harmony to your planning process, and will shield you from unpleasant logistics conversations. - She will save you HOURS of time communicating your desires to vendors and reviewing quotes in advance, allowing you to sign off without having to spend too much time reviewing the details or worrying about contract terms. - Her events are gorgeous! Christie has an eye for design and delivered a truly elegant and wonderful experience for our family and guests. - She was very sensitive to our wedding cost concerns, and worked constructively with us to optimize wedding spending. She never made me feel bad about cutting items or asking to explore cheaper alternatives. I could go on and on, but in sum, you cannot go wrong with choosing Christie as your wedding planner!

le are incredibly talented at what they do. They both have impeccable taste and have developed strong relationships with amazing vendors in the wedding industry. From the very first meeting, both of them were so kind, thoughtful, thorough, and most importantly, professional. They helped us look over our budget, guest count, and venues. When we were first looking at possible venues, Michelle drove us to 5 venues around Los Angeles and Orange County in order to ensure that the wedding site we chose would be a place that we would love. From there, we knew that our relationship with Christie and Michelle was the perfect match. When choosing a wedding coordinator, one aspect is often overlooked—comfort. It is so important to feel comfortable with your wedding planners, because they will be your go-to people throughout the process and on the day of. Christie and Michelle’s personalities made me fall in love with them. We were able to openly tell them my thoughts on certain details, that we typically wouldn’t be able to if we didn’t have such understanding coordinators. On the day of the wedding, they were there for us all the way, even until the very end of the night. They made sure that everything was packed and accounted for, locked important items in the safe, and delivered us to our getaway car. After the wedding, all of the guests mentioned how beautiful and elegant the wedding was; that our wedding coordinators did a fantastic job. We even had multiple inquiries during reception for our wedding coordinators’ contact information, which we happily shared. We honestly do not know where we would be without the help of Christie and Michelle. We probably would not have been able to pull off the fairytale wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much Christie Rose Events!

em for wedding day coordination, Christie and Katie went out of their way to give us the most amazing referrals. Every email and phone call response was so prompt and my fiancée and I could tell that they really cared. It was their guidance along the way that gave us full confidence going into the big day. They were so professional, kind and great to have around on the wedding day. All of our vendors did exactly what we wanted, many thanks to Christie for understanding our vision and holding everyone accountable for doing an amazing job.
