Christina Baxter Weddings and Events

t of the timeline the day of the wedding made it stress free and allowed us to enjoy our special day. They went above and beyond to accommodate and were also very attentive to our guests. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for creating amazing memories we will always cherish.

lt like Dana was reading our minds and her ability to make our vision a reality still amazes us. They were always available to talk and ease our concerns even if it was late at night. Christina and Dana were extremely easy to talk to and by our wedding day we felt as though we were just talking to our friends. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect and we couldn’t imagine anyone else planning our wedding.

met with me and provided me with a budget and proposal that were so helpful to my planning process! She was so kind and on top of her game that I still wish I would’ve hired her (my wedding was over a year ago)! I highly recommend her after just 1 meeting and a few email exchanges.

, and knows how to get things done. The wedding and reception were spectacular and Christina went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire process! Thank you, Christina and team!!

bout planning a destination wedding and not being able to be in person for a lot of the planning - Christina and Dana very quickly proved to me that I could breathe easy and they have it all under control. They have impeccable taste and our guests are still talking about how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Now that it is over, I miss our planning phone calls :) Book Christina Baxter and team right away - you won't be disappointed!

thank her and her team for their efforts in bringing the vision of my wedding to life in a way I never thought possible. A huge thank you to Christina and Dana for all of their hard work that resulted in a truly unforgettable day for not only our family and friends but also me and my husband! Xx

I can genuinely say we were stress free throughout the process. When I met Christina she immediately put me at ease, as I could see she "just got it" - she understood my aesthetic immediately, and with her undeniable elegance and style I knew we'd be in good hands. Then enter Dana, her no-nonsense associate who we knew would make things happen (and fast!). Both Christina and Dana were extremely respectful of our wishes, but also offered raw and genuine opinions when they were called for instead of a "whatever you want!" attitude - which I found so helpful, and thought made decision making even easier. In the end, we had the absolute most PERFECT wedding day - elegant details, incredible food and drink, and a killer dance party. We cannot thank Christina Baxter Weddings for making all of our dreams come true!!!! Love, Abbie and Matt <3

ess enthusiasm for making our vision Gullah+Jamaica+Cinderella wedding a reality. We’d interviewed other planners, but Christina’s warm spirit and instanteous ideas sealed the deal. Indeed, it felt like we were excitedly planning with an old friend and not our planner. Christina soon introduced us to her Senior Event Coordinator, Dana, who worked with us every step of the way to make sure the details of our wedding were set and mapped out. They were a full service team, helping us with every detail from the invitations to the centerpieces. And when our 325-person wedding ballooned into a 400-person affair 3 weeks before the big day, these two did not miss a beat. They re-designed the entire reception layout and coordinated with every vendor. This was a particularly massive undertaking because we got married at Middleton Place, with an original plan to use some of the site’s tables and other settings. When the numbers increased, we had to move everything outside and everything, and I mean everything, had to be adjusted to accommodate the new plan. Despite the abrupt change, the wedding was magical. Every bride I know talks about the meltdown she had on her day or the mishaps that occurred. I had none. Christina and Dana masterfully corralled our nearly 50-person wedding party through wedding prep, pre-wedding pictures, and the wedding precessional. This included hiring a personal assistant to travel with me for most of the day until the reception. Not only was that person amazing and friendly, but as a former pageant consultant, she was able to keep all my girls on schedule, help me get ready, and served as the liaison between myself and Christina and Dana. It worked out perfectly. Their wedding staff was great, with individuals stationed at various points on the grounds to direct my party and the guests. In the end, everything was on time and consistent with our detailed schedule. 400 people moved seamlessly from one part of the grounds to the next. Musicians (including a trio, steel drum band, and singers) were on time and prepared with their necessary cues. Post-wedding pictures were handled quickly, leaving us time to hangout with our guests at cocktail hour. Our reception was exactly what we asked for - a massive party. And it was made possible by Dana’s recommended DJ (there’s a reason why DJ Natty Heavy is consistently voted the best DJ in the area - he was fantastic). They kept the party going and made sure we were in position to leave on schedule in our fabulous getaway car. In short, from the amazing design to masterful execution, they did a phenomenal job. My family, wedding party, and guests couldn’t stop talking about our planners and how they helped us bring “Hollywood” to Charleston. In one instance, a dear friend of mine who is an event planner and once coordinated events for President Barack Obama, took me aside and told me that my planners were top-notch and doing an impeccable job. You cannot go wrong with these two. This team created a wedding day better than we imagined, they listened to us, and invested 200% in executing this event. Our only regret was not having a bigger budget so they could have handled the entire wedding weekend. Thanks Christina and Dana!

n New York could not have been easier. They were always proactive in reaching out and sending follow ups to make sure we stayed on track. I was also amazed how they seemed to rearrange their schedules to make time for me every time I flew down, even when only given a day or twos notice. We were most impressed by how well they picked up on our personalities and how sincere they both were in truly caring for us throughout the process. It was clear from day one that they wanted us to have the best experience possible- for us. They guided us towards (what always ended up being) the right decisions, but also did not push back against any of our choices. We were always confident that the day would be seamless thanks to them, and it was. I highly recommend Cibi for all couples.

istina truly listened to what I liked and brought my vision to life. Dana tracked every detail and even gave my new husband and I a ride to our after party after our boat exit returned us to our venue. Couldn't have done it without them!

could not ask for a better wedding planner, as she made our day beyond beautiful and special. BTW- it poured during our outdoor wedding. Like a hurricane- immediatley after the ceremony. I was in the bathroom changing my hair and dress. Word is that tables, glasses, flowers were flying and I never even knew it! Christina made sure that everything was back were it should be and that I was not stressed out about it. I only knew how bad the storm was, days later after seeing guests videos and thank god that was the case! Christina knows what she is doing!

flawless celebration, one which most guests said was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Christina and Dana were a pleasure to work with. No detail was too big or too small and their suggestions were spot on. I am forever grateful to them both for making my daughters' dreams come true!!!!

greeted with a warm hug and shown so many amazing venue options to all the little details. CB honored our budget, our vision, and helped us make our dream wedding come true. The wedding day itself was truly flawless. I was so confident in CiBi events that I was relaxed and just really enjoyed the day. And every little detail came true. Beyond that, Dana and Christina helped me with smaller decisions and added creative touches. I was sooo lucky I found them. And honestly could not have imagined our wedding without them. And on top of all that, I don't think I could have asked to meet better people. Starting with Christina to Dana to all the vendors recommended-- everyone was so nice, genuine, and hard working. If you are looking for a wedding planner in DC or Charleston, you really need to find Christina and work with CiBi Events.

ity and always new how to get it done, for the right price and the right look. Christina always gave us the best options for every vendor and is a celebrity in her own light. Her taste and style are exactly what you want if you are looking for a charming, elegant and beautiful wedding in every sense of the meaning. Not to mention, her right-hand woman, Dana Vaughn, was so incredible to work with that if we could afford to throw another wedding for the pure enjoyment of it, we would, and Cibi would plan it for us. If you are looking for a Wedding planner that will give you the event of your dreams, stop looking any further, pick up the phone, and call Christina Baxter. Lauren and I cannot thank Christina and Dana enough for everything they did for us. A member of the family, per se, and people we will absolutely never forget.

vision perfectly. Our schedules were very limited with work obligations. No problem for CiBi Events! As they were able to lead us through the decision making process on our timeline, making every deadline in the process. Their entire process is precise and eliminates any oversights on our part. Planning out our concepts, vendors, and implantation of these ideas were presented to us with concise options that made the decision process easy for us to finalize. Cristina's energy was my favorite. Her calming presence, professional demeanor, and meticulous planning set the tone for our wedding. Problems were resolved before they ever became an issue. There were ZERO issues on our wedding day, everything went flawlessly! I highly recommend Cibi Events, led by Christina for you big event.

a thing all Wedding Weekend, and for our personalities....that is saying a lot. And she was on budget! She is talented, hard working and should be top of your list in considering a Wedding Planner.

and every vendor recommendation from the band to the food to the flowers was absolutely perfect. They held our hand throughout the process and were extremely easy to work with. Thanks to Cibi, everything was seamless and we did not have to stress about anything. Jourdan and I would definitely recommend them.

ntract, Christina even provided a budget for us at no cost. The other planners we met with would not provide this until after contract signing. Each wedding she coordinates and designs is unique and special. She asks the right questions to vendors so that you have a better understanding of their work and processes. We worked side by side with Christina and Dana (one of the hardest working people I know :) for over a year planning our big day. They always diligently responded to our every question or request. They listened to all our big ideas and offered suggestions to incorporate them appropriately within the overall design of our wedding. We were blown away on the day of our wedding to see all our hard work and vision pulled together so beautifully. Both Christina & Dana ensured that our families were well taken care of the day of the event - had food & drink, knew where to be when, etc. One of my bridesmaids requested Scotch Guard the day of the wedding, and Christina bought some just for her :) You can trust Christina & Dana of CiBi Events to design, coordinate, and plan the wedding you’ve always imagined. It will be better than your dreams.

re that I found the perfect venue and time of year. You cannot put a price on the experience and knowledge surrounding venues and vendors that these ladies have! The ease my parents felt was priceless, as we all got to enjoy the engagement with these two in charge. Once the date was set and they were officially booked they kept up the unparalleled customer service. I was a destination bride, yet I felt as though I was in Charleston every time we had a planning phone call. CiBi thinks of EVERYTHING and FULL service is an understatement. Every aspect of wedding planning was perfect thanks to these two ladies. There is no way to fully express my gratitude to these ladies for making my day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. They truly took the time to get to know my style and wishes--in one of our vendor meetings Christina could read my facial expressions and helped me to tactfully offer feedback to the vendor. Now as for the rehearsal and big day, there is no way I could describe with words how phenomenal these two operated. They are a well oiled machine and made me feel like the only bride they were working with. Not once did they make me feel like was second priority. I truly felt like I was their only client! They are very mindful of the budget (even when I was not). They truly did EVERYTHING in their power to make my day perfect and no detail was left unaddressed. If you trust these two with your special day you WILL NOT be disappointed. Christina and Dana are amazing and my day would not have been the same without them in charge! I am only sad that I feel like I could never thank them fully for everything they did, including the things behind the scenes. Booking with CiBi was the best decision I made during this process, hands down!

about pricing in regards to what you envision for your wedding and always quick to respond or set up meetings to get together… the number of times I called last minute to see if we could get together was numerous and they always made it happen. They are incredible at what they do and passionate about it as well. They made us feel as if we were the only wedding they were working on. You will get to know them on a professional level but also on a more personal level. My husband and I just moved to Isle of Palms and you better believe we are going to continue to grab drinks with both Christina and Dana. They are just genuinely wonderful people. I don’t know who said the wedding process is stressful but ours was totally stress free. Christina and Dana took care of everything. It was such a fun process. Every minute of our wedding was magical and they are prepared for anything that may go askew the day of your wedding (including the strap on my dress breaking). I could go on forever about how wonderful they are but truly if you want the best team in Charleston pick Cibi Events. They made our dream wedding come to life and we are so grateful for them. We love Cibi Events!!

irelessly to put our anxieties at ease as we worked to plan an incredible wedding for our daughter and son in law. Their guidance beginning with the choice of a venue, to hiring outstanding vendors, mapping out the logistics of the day, and creating the overall event design was absolutely impeccable. No challenge proved to be too large for this team. They handled the day with ease, which included an approaching thunderstorm and nothing was left to chance. The design was astoundingly beautiful which left our guests raving in amazement. Words cannot describe the feeling my husband and I had as we experienced such an elegant and fun celebration!

dreamt. From the planning, to the set up, to the actual wedding day, Christina and Dana worked so effectively and professionally and were so beyond caring and friendly to myself as the bride, my entire family, and all of my friends. I had the perfect wedding day, and it would have made all the difference if I had not had Cibi Events behind me and with me every step of the way. I will always love and respect these hardworking professionals, as the two women who delivered my dream wedding as promised and as my friends. If you hire Cibi, your dream wedding will come true! I love love love CIBI!

ristina and Dana grabbed this challenge by the horns and worked tirelessly with us for over 1.5 years to put together our dream wedding. We aren’t the stereotypical southern couple and we weren’t looking to copy a wedding from Pinterest. Christina and Dana utilized their vast knowledge of the industry to provide us with unique ideas and options to make our special day stand out, while also taking into consideration that our wedding was at a historic art museum. They were honest with us when our ideas were terrible, and were motivated to go above and beyond the call of duty when bringing one of our ‘aha moments’ to life. The team at Cibi Events posses the skillset that are essential for a spectacular wedding. Their attention to detail, whether it was the smallest cocktail table flower arrangement or a line in the Excel budget, combined with their ability to bring our cloudy vision to life resulted in a magical evening that left all of our guests in awe. Their professionalism and experience wasn't only what makes them great. They are just an all-around amazing team of genuinely caring individuals. They knew how to comfort us when we were stressed and on the verge of tears (a.k.a crying). They knew how to brighten our day when the "ideal dream" was out of budget . They made us comfortable throughout the entire process, and never used their experience as a reason for our ideas or thoughts to not be talked through as a team. Christina and Dana did whatever they could do to make everything seamless. Anytime we needed something, they had it done. Anytime someone needed something from us, they stepped in and helped take the stress away. If you’re looking for partners in the planning process who will listen to your needs and help you bring your vision (and more) to life, look no further than Cibi Events.

ay. They were also amazing when it came to recommending vendors - everyone they recommended to me was the PERFECT fit! Our wedding was a HUGE success, honestly, the most amazing night ever. And it was all because of Christina & Dana, the dream team!! They went above & beyond and helped make our wedding even more perfect that I could have ever imagined. Thank you ladies, you are so amazing!! XOX

nd recommended CiBi Events, as they were her wedding planner in Charleston, SC. From the beginning, CiBi got our vision, and I discovered she had excellent contacts in Jamaica. The venue was fabulous: an 18th century estate house and gardens in the foothills overlooking Montego Bay. A local children’s choir sand “One Love” after our vows. The food, flowers, hair and make-up (for the bride of course) were exquisite. CiBi events created a vintage rum bar in the groomsmen’s room. CiBi also found Chokey Taylor, the best band on the island, and they rocked. I don’t know how CiBi did it, but she made our destination wedding better than we ever envisioned. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Best wedding planner ever. Five star rating.

design sensibilities and once worked with us to make sure her ideas and suggestions were going to resonate with us. And of course they did every time! She was also great at keeping us informed on our budget every step of the way. Her team of colleagues and vendors are the absolute best and that all comes from how much they love working on a CiBi event. Five stars all the way!

oughts and dreams together so cohesively is unreal!

fun weddings they've ever been too - and we've been to a lot of them! Cibi is a brilliant visionary when it comes to the overall design of the entire event and was a master at ensuring our personalities and ideas came to life. On the other hand, Cibi is completely buttoned up, and every logistic was taken care of and there was a plan b for almost any situation whether needed or not. Cibi has impeccable taste, and I never once had to second guess or worry that we should have made a different decision. As someone who had a very specific vision for my wedding and could tend to be overly controlling about the details, I found myself asking Cibi to surprise me about certain things or make the final call because I trusted in her so completely. We had so much fun planning this wedding! As a person, Cibi is calm, smart and imaginative, and I could not have asked for a more competent and sweet person to lead us through this experience. I would recommend Cibi to anyone who's looking for someone with limitless style and class. Our wedding was beyond fun and more beautiful than I could have ever dreamt. Thank you Cibi for your expertise, your creativity and your friendship! You are truly one of a kind.

time we wanted!

t our friends and family will always remember. Thanks CiBi for taking our crazy, somewhat outlandish, Cinco de Mayo wedding ideas and making them elegant, beautiful and perfect!!! Such a fun wedding!!!

an be an arduous task, because we live so far away. Our daughter did her wedding planner research and found "Cibi Events". What a smart move that was. We worked very closely with Christina and Dana. Despite the long distance, we felt as if they were right next door. They are tireless and reliable and helped to make sure that we had all of our ducks in a row. Not to mention that they are both really nice people. And it was very comforting to have them by our side on the entire day of the wedding. With great confidence and pleasure, we would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding in Charleston.

budgeting. She provided a detailed spreadsheet outlining realistic costs for our big day which immediately put us at ease and set us on the right track for planning. Beyond the numbers, Cibi gives off a relaxed, confident vibe which we responded well to. Throughout the past year, Cibi and her right-hand woman, Dana, have been responsive and available at the drop of a hat. The planning process was never stressful because we knew we had experienced professionals helping us with every detail. When we had an idea they promptly researched vendors and provided solutions and quotes in order for us to make an informed decision. In addition to their organizational skills, Cibi had excellent creative ideas that really took our event to the next level. They were also amazing at implementing and pulling together ideas from Pinterest which is no easy task! The actual day ran so smoothly and allowed us to be present in the moment and enjoy each other and our guests who had travelled a long way to attend our wedding. All the details we had been dreaming of came together perfectly and were so cohesive. We would highly recommend Cibi Events to anyone looking for an experienced, professional wedding planner! Thank you Cibi and Dana for making our dreams come true! Ashleigh & David

stence. Having now worked with Cibi events I know that I was completely wrong - Cibi's choice of vendors, ability to obtain discounts from them herself, and efficiency with our time meant that we were ahead financially and personally, making her fee mute. We could never repay Cibi and Dana at Cibi Events for all that they did to make my daughter's and new son-in-law's wedding everything they dreamed of and more. It was the any of us have ever attended (an opinion shared by our guests despite the fact that many of them had weddings that were 5 times the budget ). Clearly Cibi provided additions and improvements that we did not pay for (surely coming out of her own pocket) to make the event even lovelier. Cibi and Dana are truly the ultimate professionals, with a remarkable eye to detail, exceptional ability to grasp the vision of their clients, impeccable taste, continual focus on service and truly unmatched ability to create an event that far exceeds one’s expectation or imagination. And with all of that said, they are pure joy to work with, leading one to hope they might remain as friends.

potential challenges before they became a problem. Wedding planning is stressful. It feels like there are a million things to do AT ALL TIMES. You want someone who is calm, has a ton of experience, and knows just about every vendor in town. Like many couples, we had a vision for our wedding, but we relied heavily on Christina and Dana to navigate the seemingly endless details that needed to be addressed to realize that vision. Both Christina and Dana displayed endless patience helping us realize that vision, always accommodating our last minute waffling and change of heart. When we were freaking out about a particular aspect of the wedding – or more accurately a million important decisions – they would schedule a call immediately and give us two hours of their undivided attention if we needed it! While they are undoubtedly great at their job, Christina and Dana are also exceptionally nice people. Which is important to consider because you will spend A LOT of time with your wedding planners. When it was all said and done, Christina and Dana helped us pull off an amazing wedding and really stayed true to our wishes and vision for the wedding, which was especially important to us. And while we certainly don’t miss the stress associated with wedding planning, we do miss spending time with both of them!!! Dream team!

e dust from the first contact. We got engaged on a Friday and sent out preliminary introduction emails that Sunday. Christina emailed back right away and scheduled an immediate first call. We were thinking of a rustic and romantic southern affair outside with café string lighting and a backyard bbq theme for the food – she immediately got what we were going for and understood that we were paying for this event entirely on our own so staying in budget was a big selling point for us. She and Dana set to work straight away on a budget and a plan. By the time we got replies from the other planners we emailed (days later), we had already had 2 conversations and multiple emails with CiBi Events. We were planning our wedding from Chicago, which meant that we could not go and meet dozens of photographers, DJs, bakers, etc. Christina and Dana knew our vision and our budget and would suggest vendors that they trusted that were available on our day and that were within our budget. They were always up front about the cost – if there was a vendor that was a couple hundred dollars more than what we were expecting, we knew about it right up front, which I appreciated – I hate falling in love with something and THEN finding out it’s over budget. This is what made our wedding planning extremely enjoyable and almost stress free! We came into town for a friend’s wedding a day early to do some wedding planning. We told Christina and Dana to pack our schedule with whatever we needed to decide – and pack it they did!! They both spent an entire Friday from 8am until 5pm with us going to appointment after appointment – food tasting, rentals, photographers, venue, flowers, coffee to discuss all of it and next steps, and they set up DJ appointments in the early evening after all of that. They cleared their entire Friday and Saturday morning and packed it just for us – we planned most of our wedding in 18 hours. Granted, of course, there had been many emails and calls prior to that to narrow down our photographer choices to just the 2 that we wanted to meet, and to just the 2 tastings we would do – they actually arranged it, because our schedule was so tight, so that we had one sit down tasting, and the second tasting was packed to go and made for our dinner that night! These women are ON THEIR GAME! Dana orchestrated the rehearsal and ran through everything, and was available by text/phone/email for the entire weekend. On the big day, everything ran seamlessly. They thought of everything, anticipated everything, and helped coordinate everything down to the last perfect detail. We had our dream wedding, and we never would have been able to pull it off with CiBi Events. We can never say “thank you” enough to Christina and Dana ~ the wedding dream team!!

of RIMAS FILMS first weddings on October took place in Virginia. Here the wedding planner for the day was Christina Baxter, CIBI Events. I already had brief conversations with Christina before and she seemed very well organized and most importantly a very experienced wedding planner. And on the wedding day itself Christina was friendly and very helpful. Her organizational skills and efficient communication with other vendors helped to run the events of the day smoothly. I haven’t witnessed any problems, but I am certain, that even if there were any, Christina and her team handled them promptly and efficiently. It was a true pleasure to work with a professional person as Christina and RIMAS FILMS would like to highly recommend CIBI Events!

ed logistics of guests to the rehearsal dinner and wedding were planned and accomplished flawlessly. Everyone had a wonderful time and said it was the best wedding they ever attended. We are immensely grateful to Christina and Dana for all the wirk they put into making our wedding weekend truly Epic.

agazine. More importantly, in your trusted hands, I was was care free (as evidenced by the James brown rendition and perhaps again with the journey rendition) all night long. The welcome party with the entire guest list in attendance allowed me to handle the formalities and the wedding was all fun and games after the initial nerves wore off. It was a show stopper (even if I'm a little biased). The vendors were amazing. Cru nailed it. Every guest it was hands down some of the best food they had ever had. Miele did great and Amelia and Dan were so amazing as well. The entire evening was magical and you both put together such a great event. I knew I was in great hands and it really showed in the execution. I hope you had some fun as well. Hope to talk to you both soon!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

. I have so many people tell me it was the best wedding they have gone too, not stuffy, and a great party! Exactly what we wanted. You both are simply amazing and so good at what you do!! Again, from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!!

(and stress) of putting the day together. My (now) wife and I quickly learned this as we first attempted to plan our wedding in Charleston on our own from Connecticut. Looking back on the process, I have no doubt in my mind that, thanks to Christina and Dana, our wedding could not have been any better; even if we had it closer to where we live. Once we realized that we needed help to plan our wedding, we did some research about a couple of different wedding planners in the Charleston area. We planned on meeting with a couple of them to see exactly which one would fit with our personalities. Christina was the first wedding planner we met with; and we knew from the moment we left the meeting that we didn't need to meet with anyone else. From the earliest stages of planning, all the way up to the big day, Christina and Dana had complete control over the situation and made the process as smooth as possible. From tasks a large a picking a caterer, florist, photographer and band, to the smaller last minute on the fly issues, we never had a doubt that they were on top of things. The best example of their dedication to providing their clients with support, and delivering on that goal, came about a week before the wedding. Our wedding took place the Saturday after hurricane Matthew. Despite the chaos that the weather brought to the area, Christina and Dana were able to be reached the entire week, and checking to make sure that our wedding day would go exactly as planned. I could never thank them enough for the work they did to make our wedding such an amazing day, and would recommend them to anyone in an instant.

ke our dream of a beautiful southern wedding become a reality. We interviewed many wedding planners and after speaking with Christina at Cibi Events, we immediately knew that we wanted to work with her—she was easy going, poised, elegant, and most importantly understood our style and knew immediately how to make our vision become a reality. After working with Cibi Events, I strongly recommend Christina and her team. Throughout the planning process, Cibi Events was attentive, organized and resourceful. They alleviated any additional stress leading up to the wedding day by taking the reigns and making sure that everyone (family, guests, vendors, husband and I) was taken care of and on schedule. On my wedding day, I had absolutely no stress and knew that Cibi and her team would take care of everything and they did just that. Thanks to Cibi Events, my husband and I had the most magical and memorable wedding that we could have imagined.

d! The end product was more than we could ever have imagined; it was as if Christina saw exactly the image of our wedding we had in our heads and created it in real life. From creating the table design and floor plan, to helping us develop a Lowcountry- inspired menu for our stations dinner, to finding us the best band in the South, Trotline Band, to running the show on the day of the wedding, Christina made the entire process a delight for us. At no point during our entire engagement were we stressed, all thanks to Christina's superb planning and her easy-going nature! Not only did Christina plan our wedding, but she also planned the rest of our weekend, including the Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Drinks and Farewell Brunch. At one point during our Farewell Brunch there was only one server, who seemed to be struggling to deliver the breakfast foods to the buffet and clear plates at the same time. Christina and her amazing assistant Dana rolled up their sleeves and helped the lone server with his job— all that and they also ran across the street to buy some donuts for guests who were still lingering after Brunch. The gals at Cibi Events made our entire wedding weekend run smoothly, keeping the bride and groom happy the whole time! Christina is sophisticated, tasteful and elegant— everything you'd hope for your wedding planner to be.

en it came to researching wedding planners, we selected an initial three with reviews and portfolios of work that particularly stood out to us. After a (THREE HOUR!) phone consultation with Cibi Events, we knew, hands down, we had found our planner. Throughout our 18-month long engagement, and several trips down to Charleston, Christina and Dana kept us reassured and SANE! They helped us select the vendors that worked best for our needs, and we were not disappointed with one. In addition to helping us bring our own vision to life, the unique ideas they incorporated were unforgettable, and truly helped make our day the dream that it was. The elegance these ladies embody, and bring to each event is unparalleled. Christina and Dana are simply the best in the business.

hip is second to none. Cibi's services are extremely reasonably priced for the amount of passion, dedication, planning, and follow-through you will receive. I cannot recommend Cibi highly enough. Christina has killer business instincts, the right connections locally, experience with brides (and grooms!) emotions, and an approach to make you feel like everything is under control - which it is when Cibi plans your wedding. Don't do it without them! Highlights: - incredible flowers and decor, a flowerwall like I have never seen -best food available catering in SC -managed every detail from napkins to sign-in book to cake to hotel rooms, everything -thoughtful recommendations catered to our style and taste - planned an entire weekend of events, not just the wedding

ake the choice to spend the money to hire a wedding planner, it was easily the best choice that we made. Not only was Christina able to help us to keep organized and make great choices in terms of vendors, but she was also able to help find the best prices from some of our more expensive vendors, such as the florist and musicians. My husband lived in North Carolina and I lived in NYC for part of our planning....and Christina made it possible for us to plan the perfect wedding with some of the best vendors in the Charleston area, without spending a fortune on travel back and forth to North Carolina/NYC to meet with vendors in person. The setup, the timeline for our special day, and cleanup were all amazing. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Christina handled all the "day of" details as well and kept everything flowing and looking beautiful, which allowed us to truly take the time to enjoy the best day of our lives.

but I had recently moved to South Carolina and dreamed of a Charleston wedding. This was a challenge with the short time line and both my husband and I balancing our busy schedules in the medical profession. When we met Christina we instantly knew that she was the one. It sounds like a cliché, but her imagination, style, and down to earth nature had me sold. Through the whole process she made me feel more than just another bride and it was more than just another wedding. To me it felt like a close family friend helped me through the process. She connected with my imagination and painted it into a truly magical wedding. She knew exactly what vendors to use for my style and made sure everything went off without a hitch! I wanted a beautiful paper flower wall as a backdrop for our photobooth and thought that it was just a dream with my budget. To my surprise Christina offered to make one for me. Moments like that showed me I made the right decision. Christina will go out of her way to make dreams come true. Our guests have been raving about our wedding months after and I’ve had many people contact me about items used in the wedding. My parents love her and joke they wished they had a second child so Christina could plan another wedding. We love you Christina and would recommend Cibi Events 1,000 times over!

ditional Indian wedding. We were so impressed with how she embraced every event and spent time learning about our ceremony and culture. Christina was very professional with our vendors and made sure to try to avoid getting us involved in small details or issues that came up. In fact, when we realized that something essential was missing for our ceremony, it was Christina who went and bought that missing item. Because of Christina, we felt we would really be present at our own wedding without having to worry about what was happening behind the scenes. We fully trusted in her abilities and knew that despite any hiccups, we would have a beautiful event that we could look back on. After spending a year planning a wedding with Christina, we felt like she was not just another vendor, but a friend and guest on our special day. We highly recommend Cibi Events.

utiful and rustic. In her research she landed on Shadow Creek, a new barn that was just being built and designed to host weddings. We never would have found it on our own. Over the year leading up to our wedding, we had regular calls with Christina and her assistant planner. They helped keep us on track and manage all details. For example, she found two caterers for us to try and flew into town to visit those caterers with us to help us make a decision. We were blown away by one, Savoir Faire, which we ultimately selected. As the wedding got closer, we had weekly calls with Christina to go through the flow of the day to make sure all the details were nailed down. By the time the wedding day arrived, Christina knew exactly what we wanted and we trusted her completely to execute it. That's where she really earned every dollar. On the Friday before our wedding, we passed off all responsibility to Christina and we didn't worry about a single thing after. She took the reigns and executed our vision beautifully. She coordinated with the florist, caterer and venue host and everything looked stunning. Christina is particularly talented with details -- such as placement of flowers on chairs, the arrangement of the escort cards and welcome signs. She also kept my (now) husband and I on track throughout the night so the activities flowed well and we got to do everything we wanted. All of my friends who have gotten married told us in advance of our wedding that lots of things were bound to go wrong so we would just need to be flexible and go with the flow. But absolutely nothing went wrong at our wedding. We just enjoyed the night and everything worked out exactly as we wanted it to because of Christina. We highly recommend her!!

did she learn fast! From the moment we met, she was incredibly nice, easy to talk to, pleasant and very friendly.As soon as I told her we were going to incorporate some African cultural aspects in the wedding she said it is going to be what "you envision" and I must say she captured my vision well. My anniversary was a blast! My guest were happy, my husband was happy and I was HAPPY! She was quick to answer telephone calls, made arrangements for us to visit vendors, and scheduled meetings and conference calls with us. Although my wedding is over, I have gained a friend. I encourage anyone looking for a wedding or event planer to use CIBI Events. she will answer your telephone calls, will come to you, and above all she will keep you calm. Yes, I will recommend CIBI Events for your special events. if you want a wedding of your dreams don't hesitate to contact them! Thank you Christina, Dana, and the rest of CIBI Events team for helping to make my big day so memorable.

and experience. They helped make our wedding the beautiful fairytale it was (harmonious chirping birds "taboot'). It was simply a wonderful experience working with Cibi Events throughout the 11 month planning period. Christina captured our vision, and made it into a dream come true. They are talented, organized, efficient, resourceful, responsive, and above all - they were able to capture our special day in a manner that made it appear that the day was "made just for us." We could not have done it without them. I highly recommend Cibi Events for your special event. Thank you to their wonderful talent, artistic eye, and creativity.

Throughout the entire planning process, Christina was always quick to respond to all of my questions, ideas, suggestions, etc, which took so much stress off. I have heard from so many brides how stressful planning a wedding can be and I can say without a doubt that I never once felt overwhelmed. I was able to give Christina an idea of what we wanted and she took care of the rest, giving us our perfect dream wedding! Even when hurricane force winds ripped through our outdoor ceremony just hours before our I do's, the CiBi Event team never missed a beat. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and perfect our wedding turned out to be. We could not have done this without CiBi Events! She has a true gift for planning weddings and I would recommend her to everyone!

Both Christina and Dana were amazing to work with. Our vision was to combine the historic Charleston with a cool clubby city vibe we like so much. They tackled the task, had so many creative ideas and fresh ways to bring our vision to life. They understood what we were looking for. Christina is very experienced and has great relationships with vendors in the area. Everyone she recommended was talented, creative and professional. She also planned our rehearsal/welcoming dinner as well as our "after party" the night of the wedding. Christina and Dana will go the extra mile to make your event one to be remembered. We were able to relax and enjoy our weekend with friends and family knowing these ladies were keeping things under control. Cibi events gave us beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Our guests are still raving about it months later. What else can you ask for? Do your self a favor and call CiBi. :)

emories that will last a lifetime, Christina helped us to create an event that exceeded our highest expectations and that our guests have told us they will remember for a lifetime. Planning a destination wedding from Chicago had the potential to be chaotic and stressful, especially given hectic work schedules and limited availability to discuss wedding plans. Christina worked with us (and around our schedule in a different time zone!) to plan an event that was elegant, fun, organized and memorable. She went above and beyond to help us to create a vision that reflected our unique personalities and then executed it effortlessly. Working with Christina and her team at CiBi events exceeded every expectation that we had.

, more than willing to negotiate with vendors and above all, attentive to every detail. I cannot thank Christina enough for making the most special day of my life surpass all my expectations.

ows all of the good vendors, florists, caterers, musicians, etc. She was there every step of the way! Thanks to Christina and her assistant Dana, we didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day. They took care of everything! It was a wonderful day.

ptured them in fresh and unique ways. She managed the details, big and small, and was always available to sort through unexpected challenges. The day of the wedding she was well-organized; she kept everything moving and fun! The result was a beautiful, elegant, and meaningful event and that felt uniquely ours, but also exceeded our expectations.

y, we trusted Christina and Dana to do a lot of the things we couldn't. These ladies were gracious and professional, and they truly went the extra mile to put together not just an amazing wedding, but an amazing wedding weekend for our guests. I am tremendously grateful for their support & I would happily recommend CiBi to any other bride planning a Charleston event.
