If you’re seeking to hire a wedding planner who will make your day stressfree, look no further and hire Christie Burton Events to help orchestrate your wedding. No matter if you need someone to help plan from the very start or if you need someone simply to ensure your day goes off without issues, this company can help you hold the wedding you desire.
We chose to only have coordinator service for the wedding day. However, that service actually begins way ahead of the day and includes ensuring your hired vendors are still on track for the days events.
Our coordinator, Whitney, was the most organized person I’ve ever met. She was a force of nature who kept everything moving smoothly, kept our day’s schedule moving along, ensured our families and bridal party were directed to where we needed to be before and after the ceremony, and anticipated our needs. She even amazingly handled when one of the vendors nearly flaked out and we didn’t know until after the wedding!
She was firm but friendly in her guidance not only towards us, but with the rest of our wedding party and family, which sometimes was like herding cats. She also ensured decor was moved from the ceremony to the reception area, which was a distance. Being a hands-on couple, Whitney enabled us to control what we wanted in the day’s planning stages and gave us advice when we needed it. She also helped guide our relative/officiant through her first wedding ceremony in the largest wedding venue in Indy.
We absolutely loved the service provided and found it extremely worthwhile to have when planning any sized wedding. We are beyond grateful for her help and experience.
Hiring CBE for full-service planning was without a doubt the best wedding investment we made. From our very first consultation nearly two years before our wedding, Christy exuded expertise, confidence, and decisiveness—everything we knew we needed. We were thrilled to be paired with Christy as our full-service planner, and as a side note, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting other planners on the CBE team, who are just as amazing as Christy!
Our journey started with venue tours. Since we live out of state, Christy organized six venue visits in one day. She accompanied us to every location, offering invaluable expertise and guidance. Having her support was wonderful as she helped us envision how each venue could bring our dream day to life.
Once we chose our venue, Christy provided a detailed timeline for the next two years, breaking down every task—big and small—that needed to be accomplished. This kept us organized and on track. She also supplied a comprehensive budget tracker that helped us stay accountable while providing vendor recommendations that aligned perfectly with our vision and budget.
One of the highlights of working with Christy was her talent for design. After sharing just a few inspiration ideas, she developed a stunning and detailed wedding design. Her creative slide deck transformed our vague descriptors like “earthy and romantic” into a breathtaking vision. From napkin rings to chargers, she guided every design decision and created the most gorgeous tablescapes and day we could have imagined.
Beyond design, Christy introduced us to incredible vendors who matched our style and budget. She attended every vendor appointment with us, helping us navigate decisions with confidence. Her ability to manage complex family dynamics, address my pre-wedding anxieties, and offer unwavering support made all the difference. Christy truly felt like part of our team—always on our side and always ready to help.
On the wedding day, Christy delivered perfection. Her commanding presence ensured that every detail ran smoothly and that the day adhered to the rigorous schedule. From tying bows on ceremony chairs to ensuring every seat was perfectly placed, every detail was executed flawlessly. The result was a wedding day that was more beautiful than we ever imagined.
It’s hard to put into words how much the CBE team, and especially Christy, means to us. Their dedication, professionalism, and talent made our wedding not only stress-free but truly extraordinary. Hiring CBE was the best decision we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to bring their dream wedding to life.
Christina Burton Events was a LIFE SAVER for us during wedding planning. Every detail was ironed out, all the vendors were contacted, every single thing was thought of. Whitney was incredible from the start all the way until past midnight on the day of our wedding. There were a lot of hiccups from vendors or mistakes I made, and Whitney fixed everything. I firmly believe that our wedding would not have even happened if it was not for her!!! We got so many compliments on the day of our wedding and I just kept saying "thank god for our wedding planners for making this happen".
Any questions?
We hired Christina Burton Events for Wedding Design & Day of Coordination and couldn't be happier! We had not originally planned to hire any planners or coordinators - but this was the best investment we could have made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Christy, Grace, and team worked wonders to give us the wedding we could only dream of! Christy was able to put together the most beautiful design for our wedding and helped us choose top-notch vendors to execute everything, while keeping our concerns and budget in mind. Grace worked wonders the week of our wedding -- she was able to execute our (originally) entirely outdoor wedding when remnants of Hurricane Helene came through town, and still gave us the wedding of our dreams! Grace ensured we did not have to worry about communication with vendors the month of the wedding, and made sure all the little hiccups that happen on wedding day did not affect ours or our guests' experiences. From one (very) picky couple, we couldn't be happier with our experience from Christy, Grace, and CBE Team!
We hired Christina Burton Events as our “day-of” coordinator and we were paired with Grace. We had a couple of phone calls with her and she was so attentive via email in offering advice during our wedding planning. During the day of our wedding, she and her two assistants were the cool, calm and collected presence we needed. Our day involved three different venues and the day went by so smoothly! We were able to enjoy our day and be fully present with our guests. If you are looking for a "day-of" coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend them! (I’m sure they’ll do a great job with planning as well!)
I cannot recommend the Christina Burton team enough! We had Jen as our “day of” coordinator and she exceeded our expectations. My goal was to just “show up” to my wedding without worries and that is exactly what happened. The event went flawlessly because of Jen!!
Our assigned coordinator was Alexia and she was absolutely phenomenal! We decided about 6 months prior to our wedding to get a coordinator and let me say that was some of the best money spent! Alexia was so personable and professional. She handled everything to make sure my husband and I had the most stress free and enjoyable day. Our wedding was perfect and she brought my vision to life impeccably! I would recommend her and this company to anyone who is looking to hire a coordinator in the area!
Working with Christy and her team is the best decision we ever made! I knew that planning a wedding was something I needed help with! I am easily anxious and event planning is not my thing, but I still wanted to be involved.
Christy was amazing. She answered all my questions, put my mind at ease, and guided us throughout the design process. As it got closer to my wedding day she took care of everything I needed from communication to last-minute details like making sure I had enough frames for all my signage. She literally thought through every detail I would have missed.
Throughout the wedding planning process, so many people told us to not worry, little things will go wrong, but it will be fine. I knew this to be true, but at the end of the day, we couldn't think of one thing that we would have changed. It was our dream day and there was no way that would have happened if it wasn't for Christy! We can't say enough great things from suggesting wonderful vendors to her calm execution on our big day. It was such a smart and great investment!
I cannot recommend CBE enough for wedding planning and day-of coordination. We worked with Jen for our wedding in Louisville and she was an absolutely INCREDIBLE partner throughout the entire process, going above and beyond to make our day seamless and special. You will not regret the investment with CBE. Everything this team touches turns to gold <3
The best decision we made in wedding planning was hiring Christina Burton Events! My husband and I got married in Louisville, but live across the country. We wanted to hire someone who knew the industry, could handle vendor communications, and could design a beautiful and fun wedding, and CBE exceeded our expectations in every way.
Jen was our planner and her communication was incredible throughout the entire process. She kept us updated every step of the way. She went above and beyond when picking out vendors, bringing us new options if she didn’t feel like we were in love with our first choice. She listened to us when we wanted to make changes to the design and tweaked it so that it really represented us. She was so quick to respond to our emails and often eased my wedding anxieties. She gave us amazing recommendations and handled all communication with vendors and even scheduled our vendor meetings to fit when we were in town. Our vendors even commented on how amazing it was to work with her!
Our wedding day was truly stunning, special, and so much fun. Every single detail came together and was beyond my wildest dreams. We didn’t have to worry about anything during the wedding day because we knew that CBE would have everything taken care of, so we were able to enjoy our day and soak it all up. The only thing I regret is that the day is over and we won’t be working with CBE anymore. I will look back on this day forever and be so thankful for everything that Jen and CBE did to make it so special. We love them and cannot recommend them enough!
Whitney Holmes from Christina Burton Events is amazing. We hired her as our day of coordinator for our wedding on October 8, 2022 and she made sure that everything was perfect on our special day. I met with Whitney a few times in the months leading up to the wedding so she knew every little detail about the day. She also sent me an online planning tool where I could update things about the wedding for her there too which made me feel like we were always in touch. She created the most detailed timeline for our wedding day and made sure every single vendor had it. On the day of the wedding, Whitney took care of literally everything. I have no idea when vendors showed up, when or how they got set up, or anything because Whitney had it completely under control. That meant I was able to be entirely stress free and enjoy my day with my girls while getting ready! Whitney rangled in my wedding party when it was time for pictures, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception portion of the day and we never got off schedule - which I super appreciate because it meant my husband and I got to enjoy every single moment of our wedding without being rushed. Our wedding was a dream and turned out beautifully, all thanks to Whitney from CBE. If you’re thinking about hiring her, do it now before she books up!! You simply cannot have your wedding without her. We love you so much Whitney!! Thank you!!
We hired Kaitlin from CBE as our day of coordinator for our October 2022 wedding and it was hands down the best decision we made.
Access to CBE’s planning platform helped me stay organized and on track during the stressful wedding planning process. Moreover, it made sharing information with our coordinator an absolute breeze. We also *loved* all the vendor recommendations from CBE *that came at no additional cost* - we assembled the most amazing group of vendors thanks to these outstanding recommendations.
Even though our package was only for day of coordination, our coordinator Kaitlin was helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and would always quickly respond to my emails. She took over coordinating with our vendors ahead of the wedding, which took a huge weight off my shoulders leading up to the big day, and coordinated everything after the wedding (like mailing in our marriage license and returning items to vendors) so we could just enjoy our honeymoon knowing everything was taken care of.
Kaitlin was an absolute rock star. We know that 2022 was a very busy wedding season, yet she *always* made us feel like we were her one and only clients, her top priority. Kaitlin’s attention to detail and calming presence was just so amazing the day of the wedding - I don’t have words to describe how grateful I am for all she did leading up to but especially the day of the wedding. She thought of absolutely everything. Our whole wedding party was so impressed with how professional and on top of everything she and her assistant were. It was a long day and Kaitlin was there for it all with a smile on her face from start to finish. Our wedding was absolutely perfect - better than my dreams - and that is mainly thanks to Kaitlin and CBE!
Hands down one of the best decisions I made was to get a “day of coordinator” and more specifically, Jen at Christina Burton Events. The company provided resources and recommendations that were spot on for planning leading up to the event and Jen took over the week before (and helped along the way any time I needed anything) to make sure our wedding was fun and stress free. She fixed my dress when my dancing stretched the limits of my strap, she accommodated last minute requests to liven up our band with some surprises for my husband to be, and she took care of every detail seamlessly during the event along with packing up everything we would have forgotten to bring home. Jen…Ernie and I can’t thank you enough. You were a rockstar and we enjoyed every minute of our wedding thanks to your support!!
Our day of coordinator Kaitlin was amazing! She went above and beyond in every aspect. Our day went so smoothly because of her. As a very type a person it was killing me to not personally be in charge of decorating the venue but Kaitlin ensured that everything came out exactly as I had imagined. From helping retrieve a new suit for my husband on the morning of our wedding till the moment we got into our ride home for the night Kaitlin had everything organized and in her control. I can not recommend Christina Burton events enough if you want a beautiful and smooth wedding day.
100% recommend going with this group. Whitney (Indy) was absolutely outstanding. She made sure that we were able to enjoy our day without any added stress. Like all wedding days we had some hiccups and she handled these so effortlessly that I didn't even know they existed until after the wedding. Knowing that my parents and siblings were also able to relax a bit more because Whitney handled pretty much all wedding day logistic responsibilities really helped us relax and enjoy our day. The timeline planning was perfect and Whitney was so patient with all of our questions/concerns. Originally, we went back and forth about whether or not we wanted a coordinator and looking back going with Christina Burton Events was truly one of our best planning decisions. Whitney truly made our day very special! Thank you!
10/10 recommend Christina Burton events! Whitney (Indianapolis location) was so helpful throughout our entire process! She stayed on top of timelines, helped guide me when other vendors were falling short, and overall put me at so much ease the day of! I couldn’t have asked for a better support system on my special day! Thank you so much Christina Burton Events! ❤️
I can’t say enough positive things about Christina Burton Events and especially Whitney, our lead coordinator. Whatever secret there is to planning the ideal wedding, CBE has nailed it. Whitney’s eye for detail was outstanding, and she was unwavering in her support for my vision for the day as we planned. She was clear about our timeline and helped us plan it down to the minute, and she kept everything running on schedule on the day of. Having her in my corner on the wedding day meant that I was able to relax and have fun without worrying about what needed to get done. I appreciated that she struck the balance between being competent and firm when necessary while still being friendly and kind! Many thanks to everyone on the team for making our day as flawless as it was!
I can’t say enough positive things about Christina Burton events and Kaitlin in particular, who was our direct point of contact. Every last detail was not only thought of, but also handled. The wedding was perfect and the day of attention was amazing.
I was a bit of a high maintenance bride because I am a bit of a high maintenance person, and no detail was too small to be acknowledged and no request was too odd to be handled.
Also, perhaps most importantly, no stone was left unturned. Things that I never would have thought of were discussed with me beforehand and also always presented with the answer. “Do you want x?” “Oh, I hadn’t thought of that, yes, how do we accomplish X?” “Easy, we can do it a,b, or c ways.”
Thank you all for making everything as perfect as it possibly could have been.
CBE was truly the constant, calming presence throughout my entire wedding planning process. From the attention to detail, to the day of last minute asks, Christy and Kaitlin did everything to make my husband, our families, our vendors, and myself heard and taken care of. No ask was too big or impossible and we were able to fully enjoy ourselves knowing we had the CBE team in our corner. I had so many compliments on the design of our reception. Christy took the example photos I showed her and made them her own and it could not have turned out more beautiful. Everything was so well organized that I never felt stressed or left a planning call with any questions. If you're looking for a coordinator who will be there from start to finish, go above and beyond, and provide expert advice to have the best day, the CBE team is every bit of that and then some.
CBE events was an absolute pleasure to work with! Especially if you're having a big wedding, a good coordinator is a fantastic investment. I hired CBE for day-of coordination services and the entire day went so smoothly and without a hitch. I was able to just thoroughly enjoy my wedding and soak in every moment because I was confident that Whitney and the team had everything covered. Whitney was always very responsive, timely, and helpful with any questions I had, and the timeline she created was so helpful. This was worth every penny!
Christy was our angel on earth! After our first conversation with her, it was obvious that Christy was the most intentional, best organized, and well-connected coordinator of any of the vendors that we spoke with. Throughout the planning process, she, her team, and her systems helped us to ensure that we were on track and checking off all of the major boxes. Our original venue had to cancel our event 2 weeks before the wedding date, and Christy managed the majority of our stressors by working with the old venue, new venue, and communicating all changes and needs to our other vendors. Without her, I am not sure that my fiancé and I would have stayed sane through that change and process. Our wedding day was an absolute dream, and I cannot imagine what it would have been like had I not had Christy and her team. I didn't have to worry about a thing, because I knew that she would execute exactly how I wanted it. I literally cannot say enough good things about her and her team. If you are in the market for a coordinator, do yourself a favor and call Christy first!
I can't believe I ever thought I didn't need a wedding planner!
Whitney came to our rescue and helped pull together a fairytale day that truly would not have been so successful if it weren't for everything that CBE does for their clients. From the online portal keeping everything organized and the consultations and communication keeping our heads on straight - to the day of coordination making the big day run smoothly, they quite literally think of and handle everything. We had a lot going on with a big wedding party, big families, and a little bit of a weekend destination wedding in Brown County, and nonetheless Whitney and her assistant kept everyone and everything in line.
We not only got the best advice and service but also some top notch people giving it to us, and we will cherish the memories of the event with them next to us forever with so much gratitude in our hearts! I know their team can handle anything thrown their way and will recommend them to everyone I know getting married.
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Christy and her assistant, Hannah. They were so accommodating with all of our Covid changes leading up to wedding day, so calm and reassuring when stress levels were high, and ensured we had the smoothest day. There was not a bump or hiccup all day long - and if there was, I had zero idea. We still have people from our wedding party/friends/family asking how far Christy and her team will travel for other weddings because they are THAT good - BOOK THEM, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! Thank you so, so much Christy and team!!!
Hire Christy! Whether you are eager to be hands off with planning or involved to an extent - she will make your experience easy, dreamy, and fun! She brought to life a dream vision for our day that we didn’t know we had, and made it a reality in (what she made it seem like) a very effortless way. We do not know what we would have done without Christy, and not only were we so beyond thrilled to have her along for this chapter, but we were so lucky to have her recommended vendors too! Photographer, videographer, stationary, flowers, draping, lighting… she helped us hire each of these brilliant vendors she had relations with and they did not disappoint. Start to finish, we felt on track, taken care of, and like we were in great hands. Not to mention, she essentially planned our wedding day twice, rescheduling all our vendors within one week when COVID called on us to push our big day out another year. And she does it all with a smile! Thank you, Christy!
Hiring Christy was the best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process. As an out-of-town bride planning a wedding in Louisville, Christy made the process so easy and entirely stress free. During the few trips my husband, family, and I were able to make to Louisville she was prepared; efficient with our time; and honest in her feedback to help create our vision. Her design eye is amazing - she transformed my venue, which had some unfortunate permanent lighting, to a romantic and gorgeous room for our reception using chandeliers and drapery. She was kind and direct when working with us to create the wedding design and used her years of experience to suggest ideas I would have never thought possible. On the actual day of the wedding, she was calm, collected, and prepared - with rain on the day she was already prepared to run the rain plan, drove my bridal party to the venue so our makeup and hair wouldn't be ruined, and handled all the other vendors without any disruption to me, my husband, or our families. If there were any issues that day, I will never know - she was flawless in her execution of the wedding and managing issues if they arose. My family has hired her again for my sister's wedding because of how incredibly amazing she was at my wedding.
If you scroll down the pages of 5 star reviews, you will see a post in October 2019 which ended with, "if we ever have the occasion to plan another event, she will be my first phone call." Well as it turns out we did, another wedding and Christy WAS the first call we made. Thankfully, we were able to talk her into taking on another full design wedding for our family. Only this one would be in New England, where she wasn't familiar with the location or local vendors. We also threw in some typical NE weather on the wedding day, of course if poured rain all day with the ceremony planned for outdoors!
Once again, Christy did not disappoint! The design was gorgeous incorporating all the beautiful things of fall in New England with all the special touches. Her attention to detail, overall calmness and ability to adjust and solve any problem that came her way was AMAZING! Christy and Jessica worked tirelessly that weekend to ensure our bride and groom had the most perfect wedding day. Thank you for taking such great care of our two special people and for giving them the wedding they dreamed about. It was so much fun celebrating them with all of our people and not having a thing to worry about! We had you! so I will say it again, "if we have another event to plan, first phone call will be to Christy!" THANK YOU.
Christy and Whitney were the best team for our wedding day. They helped my mother and I sort through design elements, vendor contracts and timelines. As first time wedding planners, having CBE by our side made us confident in our choices. Whitney was the best day of coordinator. I knew that I could relax and enjoy the day because she had it all under control. I recommend CBE to all brides who are looking for guidance and day of coordination. You will not regret it!
We hired Whitney from CBE for our day of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. Even before "day of" Whitney was available to help with vendors and did a lot of the back work of organization and vendor facilitation in the month leading up to our wedding. She was also there to reassure me and kept ME together. Whitney is incredibly organized, professional and truly great to work with. When you book with CBE you also get access to many helpful tools and organization programs that I wish I took more advantage of! I would highly recommend Christina Burton Events and Whitney as a lead coordinator.
I didn’t realize how much I needed a coordinator until I had one! Whitney was so responsive from day one, always providing guidance and answering my questions, and even providing a much needed opinion when asked. She coordinated with all of my vendors, and when it came to the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a thing. I even rented some of their rental items that she brought with her and took back at the end of the night. Not to mention she was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Christina Burton Events. They are affordable, reliable, and they will even travel to you! I am so very grateful for this wonderful experience.
I was blown away by Christy and her team on my wedding day and with all the planning that went into make it seamless. I originally did not think that I needed a day-of-coordinator because I thought I had everything under control by myself. I was SO WRONG and could not have done it without Christy! She was always available to me leading up to the wedding, helped me think of all the little things I had forgotten, and was amazing at juggling all of my vendors and family members. She was incredible to work with and I can’t thank her enough for making our day so perfect so I could enjoy the wedding without any worries or anxieties about the details.
When I say the best wedding planner ever!! We had two postponements due to COVID. Christy was a wonderful help! We had our wedding last Sunday in Downtown Indianapolis and the entire day was FLAWLESS! Her attention to detail, professionalism, and overall execution is IMPECCABLE!!
My husband and I got married on September 4, 2021 at Keeneland. Christy Burton and her team made the wedding (and the wedding planning process) go seamlessly. Because of Christy, I was able to relax while our dream wedding was executed. Christy nailed every element of our wedding from finding the perfect vendors to classy design elements. Thank you, Christy. I am forever grateful.
Christy is AMAZING! She made our dream wedding come true (and then some). She kept us below our budget, made the planning process as smooth as possible, provided us with an incredible team of vendors, and coordinated a perfect event. At the end of this process, she wasn't just our wedding planner, but our friend. We are really going to miss her. But we're so glad we chose her and her team to design and plan what ended up being the best day our lives. We are forever grateful. -T&S
We were very happy with the professionalism, service, and thoroughness of CBE. Whitney did an excellent job leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. We met twice at different time points before the wedding, and she helped a great deal with planning and the details. We were able to use Aisle Planner and Timeline Genius software, which made things so much easier with seating charts, room diagrams, guest list, etc. Whitney made sure everything was taken care of and forgot no details. I felt that I could enjoy my day completely knowing I was in great hands. Her assistant, Emma, also helped us at our rehearsal dinner and did an excellent job. Nothing but positive things to say for these ladies! I highly recommend!
WOW! Christy is not only an amazing person inside and out, she was fantastic to work with! She had so much patience through all of my questions and set up everything for the wedding better than imagined! I cannot believe how perfect everything was and it is all thanks to her! THANK YOU CHRISTY!!
The absolute best in the business!!! Christina and her team were so amazing to work with. They made my wedding day stress free and took care of every little detail. Christina is very professional, organized, and the best of the best when it comes to event planning. I highly recommend using Christina Burton Events for all your event planning needs!
There are no words to describe how amazing Christy and her team were in helping to coordinate our wedding weekend! They were amazing from the very start and helped us tie together all the little details that can be easily forgotten. Christy managed vendors and timelines without breaking a sweat and took a large burden off of us to make our day easier. Not only were her standard services top-notch, but she went above and beyond in helping a busy couple make their day a success. She made multiple phone calls to customer service to ensure our groomsmen's suits were delivered on time and even coordinated a last-minute emergency decoration change to help us achieve our vision. Look no further than CBE to make your day perfect!
Hiring Christy was hands down the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were so blessed to work with her throughout our 2 year engagement and she exceeded expectations with each and every interaction. The first thing you'll notice is that she is so incredibly responsive (like always responds within 15 minutes responsive!) . We live states away and she made it extremely easy to work with her even despite the distance. We booked day-of-wedding coordination with her, but I feel like the service was so much more than that. Christy was always available for any questions or suggestions along the way. The Aisle Planner software she provided to assist us with planning was incredibly helpful and kept us organized. I hired Christy for florals as well. I provided a few Pinterest photos and description of what I was thinking, and she took that vision to life in such a beautiful way. She provided multiple options for pricing of florals, was realistic in knowing my budget, and always supported my decisions. The day of, there wasn't a moment that we felt stressed- Christy and her team were there to take care of absolutely everything. I'm a very type A, hands-on person, but I trusted Christy so completely that I was able to turn everything over to her without any worries knowing that it would all end up perfect because she had her hands on it. Her execution of our vision was exactly what we had dreamed of. Our day was perfect. After so much planning, my husband and I and both of our families were able to just relax and enjoy the day knowing that Christy would have everything covered. We cannot thank her enough!
I highly recommend CBE. Whitney did an excellent job as the "week of" planner. She made the week and especially the wedding day stress free. It was the best money I ever spent! She was very organized and followed through to the last detail packing up everything at the end of the evening. She was truly a joy to work with and made my daughter's wedding day perfect!
There really aren’t enough good things to say about Christy and her team… we couldn’t have done it without her! Hiring Christy was the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. Not only was she the best of the best, she helped us hire the best of the best and truly created a dream team for our big day. We seriously couldn’t have hired a better team of photographers, hair and makeup artists, caterer, band, etc. without her. Christy’s attention to detail is impeccable. She is very willing to offer you her opinion in the absolute nicest way, as she has likely experienced or planned it and can speak from her own experiences throughout her career. She makes you think of things you would never think of! Christy was always available to answer texts, calls, emails, and willing to have meetings with you if needed to help ease all stress.
We had always dreamt of an outdoor wedding and the whole month we had high chances of rain and Christy worked with all of our vendors the weeks prior to assure the plan B rain plan was a go without running it by me so I didn’t stress… all I had to do was show up! She seriously thinks of everything! We got to enjoy every bit of our weekend and not worry about when everything would be set up and delivered. Christy also made all of my floral arrangements and did an amazing job. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted, told her the flowers I just had to have and she made everything absolutely PERFECT.
We chose to have our wedding at my husbands parents house which at the time sounded easy, but there we so many details we wouldn’t have thought of that Christy so easily brought to life. Christy went far beyond what we could have ever expected her to do in terms of working with our vendors. I had zero stress the weekend of the wedding, as I knew Christy had everything taken care of. I had a relaxing morning of the wedding, while she was dealing with setting the tables, and organizing the vendors, and directing people behind the scenes.
I will forever be grateful for the work Christy did and for making my wedding day exactly what I could have wanted. It was so perfect, we almost forgot it was raining buckets outside of tent!! I have joked that I wish I had more unmarried friends so I could recommend Christy and continue to see her… I can promise you’ll want to be her friend!!! We would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!
Hiring Whitney from CBE was the best investment I made during wedding planning! Whitney was always kind, organized and on top of things. When my big day arrived and rain caused me to have to shift to our back-up wedding location, she did the heavy lifting of moving musicians and vendors and ensuring set up was complete. She allowed me to focus only on getting ready and getting married.
As a mother of a bride during COVID Christy was exactly what we needed. She was confident and assuring as we pivoted the plan for the wedding numerous times. We settled on our backyard, in tents and Christy had vendors that were amazing, providing decor, seating, flowers that were beyond our expectations. Her attention to detail is unparalleled.
She is confident and wants to deliver the wedding you envision but was honest enough to tell us when our ideas were not practical and why. She has a calm demeanor that is such an asset on the big day, and during the planning process.
We were able to host a wedding beyond our expectations for our daughter and new son in law because Christy was the lead.
I couldn't recommend Christy and her team any more! From the very beginning, Christy took time and put in a lot of effort to understand what our vision was for our wedding. She took all of the small details that were important to us and helped us fill in the rest to create the perfect day. She anticipated our every need and was so responsive throughout the entire process. Even with all of the many changes during COVID (we changed our plans 3 times), she never hesitated and was always adapting to make sure the day still exceeded our expectations. Even when our DJ cancelled 48 hours prior due to a COVID exposure, before I had a chance to freak out she was calling me with new (if not better!) options. Christy and her team made our day and the process absolutely seamless and I can't recommend them more.
Christy was honestly an AMAZING wedding planner. Getting married during COVID was incredibly difficult to say the least, but Christy was there to help us every step of the way and our wedding weekend and wedding day ended up being absolutely perfect. We changed plans several times leading up to our wedding date, and Christy was incredibly flexible with us and all of our changes. She never once complained or hesitated when we told her about the changes; instead, she would seamlessly pivot to helping us plan for and think through the new option. Christy also has a beautiful eye for design and decor. One of the things I appreciated most about Christy is her ability to anticipate our needs and take care of issues before I even thought of them. She made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and easier, and I will forever be grateful we made the decision to hire Christy. If you hire her, you will absolutely not regret it!
Christy and her team are the best! Christy helped plan and design our wedding to be exactly what I’d always dreamed! She was cognizant of the aesthetic I wanted while remaining respectful of our budget. She kept me organized and on task reminding me what needed to be done so we could remain on pace without timeline. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I was able to live in every moment of our big day and soak in what was happening while she and her team were behind the scenes making sure everything went seamlessly. She is not only professional she is kind, honest, and has the most calming/reassuring presence. —I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her. Thanks, Christy!!
If you are looking for your wedding day to be the smoothest day possible, I cannot recommend Christy and her team enough. At the beginning of the wedding process, you think you can do it all, but it takes way more than expected to make your day the way you’ve always dreamed of. Our wedding was literally everything we could’ve ever imagined and more because of Christy and her team. We were in awe of how professional, prompt, calm, and prepared her team was for (literally) everything on our wedding day. I found myself able to actually enjoy our entire day because I knew we were in such good hands.
Not only did Christy coordinate our day, but she also was our florist. It was nice to have that seamless connection within our design and not to mention not having to worry about an additional vendor. She was so flexible with my random inspirations and helped my vision come to life in all things floral. If you're worried about being a ball of stress on your wedding day, don't be. Seriously consider adding Christina Burton Events to your budget. You won't be disappointed.
I would not have survived my wedding without Christy! Everything came together so seamlessly and it was beautiful! She took out all of the stress from my big day, and went above and beyond to make it perfect. She was hands down the best investment of our wedding. 10/10 would recommend!
Christy was the best thing that has ever happened to my wedding. I had a horrible experience with another planner so I was a little weary but Christy came in and saved the day. She kept me calm during all the insanity of a normal wedding planning process and then even calmer when the pandemic aspect of planning hit, which was hard to do. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, even to the point of taking my dog home from the ceremony she handled flawlessly. Whitney from her team was amazing too. I really don't have enough positive words to say about working with her, I am OCD as well and she even rivaled me. She took over and let me enjoy being engaged. Which is what every bride truly wants.
Christy is the absolutely best! We hired Christy to help us with planning and design. As an event planner myself, I knew I needed a wedding planner to help with all the details. I still underestimated how much I needed her, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Christy was helpful, kind and patient through all the changes. She designed our flowers and they were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. The day of the wedding, she was there every step, providing a calm and reassuring presence. I really cannot thank her and her team enough.
Absolutely amazing! She helped make my day run smoothly and was so kind, caring, and beyond helpful! I highly recommend!
Truly AWESOME is how I would describe Christy. There are not enough stars in this rating system to reflect what an incredible experience she designed/planned not only for our daughter’s wedding but for all of our guests traveling out-of-state for the weekend. They are still talking about their first trip to Kentucky!!
We hired Christy for the full service for the wedding, including the flowers, as well as a tailgate at Keeneland and a morning after brunch. We started with Keeneland which was so beautifully done and perfectly represented Lexington. It was exactly how we imagined it would be and more when we talked about the idea of a tailgate. The wedding itself could not have been more perfect, right down to the weather, which I am thinking she even ordered that! Every flower, every centerpiece, table set up, furniture arrangement, desert table was just so beautifully done. So many details and personal touches! We had a large wedding party and a lot of guests to transport around the city. Christy kept us all in-line and on schedule. She has such a calming manner and a demeanor that says, “don’t worry, we have this”. It allowed us to just enjoy the special day with our family. My daughter said at the end of the night, “this was more perfect than I ever dreamed.” My response was “me too”.
Christy made planning a “destination” wedding so easy and so much fun! In addition, to being so incredibly good at what she does, we really enjoyed getting to know and work with her. I have used the word, “perfect or perfection” many times in this review, but the entire weekend really was and it was due to Christy’s creative ideas and meticulous planning. Best day for our bride & groom and great Kentucky experience for our guests. Priceless...
If we ever have the occasion to plan another event, she will be my first phone call!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
Thank you so much, Sharon! I absolutely loved getting to know you, Jordan and your family! It was so much fun for me to get to meet your people over the course of the wedding weekend, and it will forever be one I will remember so fondly!
When I reflect on the level of service Christy provided, it was more than just bringing my Pinterest boards to life in a beautiful design, coordinating the right vendors, handling communication to save the sanctity of my inbox during a busy year, and taking the guesswork out of timing and a process I was unfamiliar with – at the end of the day she was a confidant I could tell my sincerest wishes to and who made them come true. For that, Christy, I thank you, because my wedding was a perfect fairy tale dream. When I walked into the reception space, it looked exactly the way I imagined it would, but better, and as I wandered around the venue throughout the event, the smallest details started emerging that I didn’t know would be there and I fell in love more and more. She made the process so seamless from start to finish. Hiring Christy is like hiring a new best friend who will be your advocate at all times, reassure you when you aren’t even sure you know what you want or what is going on, and make all the logistics of the day happen without your knowledge so you can sit back and enjoy the special moments of the most significant day of your life. 10/10 recommend.

Your day was one I so fondly remember! It was absolutely beautiful, and I could feel the love for you and Sean from all your amazing people! I hope to see you again soon!
Christina deserves every praise you could possible give a wedding coordinator. She was one of the first vendors we booked and I felt that it was going to be one of the best decisions we were going to make for our wedding. She handled Day Of preparations and I don't know if we could've had the day we had without her. She was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what would work and what wouldn't. She took direction from both of us on our vision and helped us achieve an amazingly beautiful wedding. She made the day go with ease and went above and beyond with certain aspects. One of my Matrons of Honor was unable to attend two weeks before the wedding and Christy was able to help said MOH still be a part of our day. MOH was so impressed with Christy's willingness to help her so much. It was an incredibly meaningful touch to our special day. We literally did not have to worry about a thing. If there were any issues, we didn't hear about them. She was so efficient and professional. Her personality and work ethic aligned with our personalities so well. When we booked her, she was the only one we had really looked at and I'm so glad we didn't second guess ourselves.

Abbagail, thank you so much for leaving a review! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I loved getting to be a part of the day!
Christy was hands down one of my best decisions when planning my wedding - we hired her for full service planning and floral design. We chose her for her attention to detail and design during the planning process, in addition to the standard day of responsibilities, and we weren't disappointed.
As a very A-type bride, I already had several ideas of what I wanted. Christy listened well to my wish list and brought it to life with her design board and Rolodex of vendors. She let me lead in areas of planning where I wanted to, and seamlessly took the reigns and handled areas where I did not. That's important when selecting your full-service planner, since some try to impose their style guidelines - Christy is very collaborative and down to earth and did not. Her work style makes you feel like you're planning a wedding over wine with a close friend.
Christy planned our Louisville wedding from Indianapolis, and it's also worth mentioning we felt we had access to her whenever we needed, despite the distance. Christy didn't put a limit on the amount of times she would drive to meet us in person, and we appreciated that. Her professional wedding planning websites and resources were also helpful in facilitating communication.
On the day of, Christy's team made sure that everything ran smoothly - running out to grab fans when the house got hot and extra beer when it ran out. They were the first to arrive and the last to leave the venue, and handled vendor relations with great professionalism.
Her floral design team did outstanding work on my flowers, and did so at an excellent price.
Which brings me to my last point - budget. We started out with a $40,000 budget and came in right around $41,000. My family appreciated Christy's ability to prioritize costs and keep the budget under control.
Don't skimp on planning - hiring Christy was a great choice!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
Thank you so much for your kind review, Ali! I absolutely loved wine nights spent with you and John while planning your day, and I'm missing them already! We will have to find an excuse (or we make wine and friendship the excuse) to spend time ...
together soon!
She was super amazing! She made everything go so smoothly and DRAMA FREE! Most people have some kind of issue at their weddings, but we literally had none! Everything went off without a hitch and made our day better than I could have imagined.
Not to mention it took all the stress off my mom, who was turning into a momzilla, until Christy came along!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
It was such a pleasure getting to work with you and your mom and having the opportunity to be a part of your day!
Wow! Christy absolutely made our dreams come true on our wedding day by creating a day so special that we will forever cherish. At the beginning of our engagement , we were overwhelmed by the thought of planning our wedding. We gave Christy a brief description with what we had in mind and it was like she took the picture from our brains, enhanced it x10 and executed it to a T! Her design of it all was so beautiful that I started to cry when I saw what she had created for the reception site! I can’t put into words how talented Christy is and how she can envision things that others simply can not. I have already contacted Christy to plan another event for us this upcoming fall and we can’t wait!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I loved getting to plan it and bring it to life! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of it!
Where do I even begin? My husband and I asked Christy to travel to Northern Michigan to coordinate our June wedding and it was by far the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! Being a wedding planner myself I had high expectations for the day and Christy & her team not only met those expectations, but greatly exceeded them! They were kind, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make the day amazing. The weekend of the wedding I felt so stress-free and relaxed and that is all because I knew Christy had everything under control and I could take off my planner hat and enjoy being a bride for once. I can't say I would have felt as relaxed as I did if anyone else was behind the drivers seat but Christy & her team. If you are at all considering hiring Christy & her team to plan or execute your wedding or event - do it! I cannot recommend her enough and thank you SOOOOO much Christy for making my wedding day unforgettable!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
It meant the world to be selected to be a part of your day! It was an incredible day and the venue you chose was unbelievably beautiful! I'm looking forward to another Northern Michigan trip again soon (hopefully with you and Eric!)
One of the best decisions I made in the planning process by far was to have Christy for the full day of coordination. I had initially reached out to Christy to handle just the ceremony side as the reception venue had a coordinator. After meeting in person with Christy I was incredibly impressed with her attention to detail and assuring disposition. At that point I knew having her team coordinate for the full day would take all of the stress off of myself and make the day more enjoyable. Christy and her team covered everything and more than I would have thought of beforehand on my own, leaving me carefree and able to fully enjoy the whole wedding day and be present in the moment. My only regret is that I didn't bring Christy in earlier on in the planning! My parents loved that once the reception was over, they just got into their car (already loaded by Christy and team) and left - no worries about running around checking anything.

I'm so glad I got to be a part of your wedding day! Thank you so much for adding me to your wedding day vendor team!
Christy of Christina Burton Events helped orchestrate my day from start to finish and alleviated so much stress and worry I have seen other brides experience. I always felt like I was her top priority and receiving her full attention.
During the planning phase, she took the time to really listen to what I wanted and understand the vision my fiancé and I had for our day and help us execute on that. Just taking so much time to listen to and ensure understanding was the first step to our perfect day.
She pointed me to vendors that would make my expectations a reality. By listening to her advice on vendors I received the best value and service possible, and she always respected our budget with vendor recommendations. If any of my expectations were unrealistic or if she had any concerns, she let me know, and this helped ensure that the vision for our day could become a reality. Her reputation amongst wedding vendors also helps secure top-tier service for your day.
With her experience and expertise, she anticipates blind spots and fixes problems before they can become a problem. She was my bodyguard for the wedding day and made sure that myself, family and friends had a great time free of worry. No matter how organized you are, how many weddings you have been a part of, or how capable your friends and family believe they are, there is no substitute for a professional planner of Christy’s caliber and the peace of mind she will provide everyone involved in your wedding. There are innumerable small details on the timeline and post-wedding that I know of that I would have never anticipated. Who knows how many details she worked out that I am still unaware of.
The peace of mind alone would be enough for me to recommend her, but she made my wedding more beautiful than I could have imagined. Her creativity is such a special asset. She can create details unique to your wedding that express your personality. She doesn’t just recreate junk you’ve seen on Pinterest or recycle ideas from wedding to wedding.
Thank you, Christy, for everything you did for us. I will continue to recommend you to family and friends.

Teren, I am so grateful to you for allowing me to be a part of your big day! The day was full of so much love!
We knew that we wanted to hire a day-of coordinator and after meeting with a few Christy stood out as someone that we thought we could trust to handle all of the tiny details that go into wedding planning that we hadn't even thought about yet. Throughout our wedding weekend, Christy and her team did an amazing job organizing everything and communicating with the other vendors so that we didn't have to worry about anything. She was able to take all of our decorations and set everything up so it looked beautiful without very much instruction from us. If you want the most stress-free wedding weekend ever, definitely choose Christy and her team!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
Emily, thank you so much for your review! I loved having the opportunity to make your weekend stress-free! Wishing you all the love and happiness in your marriage!
Christy is absolutely amazing! I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. I got married on 8/11/18 and she was there to help me with everything I needed and always answered the million questions I had. She made our wedding day so relaxed and made sure everything went smooth. Even though she was in the middle of planning her own wedding, she NEVER seemed too busy to help us. Christy is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and she will definitely make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. We are so grateful to have had her as part of the best day of our lives. Thanks Christy!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2019
Thank you so much, Amy! Working with you was amazing, and I'm wishing you and Dylan so much happiness!
I cannot say enough positive things about Christy! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was covered and that our day was everything we hoped it to be. Christy helped take the stress out of planning and put me at ease that the timeline, details, and everything day-of would be taken care of. From the moment I met her, I knew I was in good hands and working with a person who genuinely cared about not only my day, but also me as a person. I was actually on the fence about hiring a Day of Coordinator—but looking back, it was the single best decision I made. Christy is extremely patient, organized, kind, and flexible. She answered all of my questions, listened, made excellent suggestions, and helped me think of things I would never have known to address on my own! Most importantly, my family and I were able to truly enjoy being present on our wedding day, knowing that Christy was taking care of everything else. She is truly a one-of-a-kind person and planner and I feel so blessed to have had her alongside me in the planning process!

Kara, I loved getting to be a part of your day! It was absolutely beautiful and a highlight of my fall! I wish you both all the best!
I used Christy as a Day of Coordinator, but she did much more than that for me. She goes above and beyond for her clients to help make their wedding process go smoothly. She was so organized and confident and it made me feel so assured that my day would run smoothly, and it did. I still to this day, have no idea if there were any problems or issues because Christy made sure that everything ran on time and handled anything that came her way! Everything I showed her for my vision of my wedding came to life perfectly. I am so glad I had Christy with my on my big day!
From the moment I met Christy to talk about our wedding day, we instantly clicked and I knew I didn't need to look any further for a wedding planner! She was so kind, experienced, approachable, and it was like talking to a lifelong friend. I felt like she completely understood all of our ideas and was able to perfectly execute everything we pictured our wedding day to be. Christy was always available to answer emails, texts, phone calls, and to have many meetings leading up our big day. She did such a great job helping ease my stress during the planning process because she is just so easy to trust! On the actual wedding day, Christy was great at making sure we were at the right spots at the right time, that we had everything we needed, and that everything was going smoothly and looked perfectly! It seriously made such a difference having someone so calm like her on such a busy day! She wears many hats on the wedding day, including a decorator, to someone keeping everyone on schedule, getting food, cleaning up, and even a seamstress when my dress ripped! I can't say enough wonderful things about Christy, and I am ready to recommend her to every bride! She truly allowed me, my husband, and our families to relax and enjoy the day because she took care of everything. Our wedding day could not have been planned or gone as smoothly as it did if we didn't have Christy on our team! She is just so AMAZING at what she does!

Sarah, I loved working with you and Derek! It was such a pleasure to get to be a part of your day! (PS - I hope you're enjoying that sweet, absolutely adorable pup!)
We found Christina Burton Events at a Bridal Show in Indianapolis and knew she was the right fit for us right away. She made my now husband and I feel like we were the only wedding she was working on throughout the entire planning process. She knew our wedding details better than I did! Christy answered every question we had quickly and honestly, which was so helpful for us. Because of her, my entire family could truly relax and enjoy the wedding day, which was so important to me. She knew what vision we had for our day and she was able to make every day-of decision for us to make that come true. We are so grateful for Christy and everything she did for us. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a kind review! I absolutely loved working with you, Brett and your families! I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Christy and her crew were life savers on our big day! They helped to make sure everything went off without a hitch! Christy was so organized and helped me (and my mom) feel so comfortable and reassured that the day was going to go flawlessly, which of course it did. I highly highly recommend hiring someone to assist with the planning and the day of coordination and I highly recommend Christy for the job!

Thank you so much, Megan! I had such a great day with you and your families, and I wish you all the love and happiness!
Christy is absolutely amazing!! She is so organized, easy to communicate with, and great at what she does! She knows how to make a day go smoothly. I can’t describe how good it felt to know she would help us through our entire wedding day and fix problems before they even happened. Can’t recommend her enough!!
I am not quite sure that I can put down in words how truly amazing Christy is. She made our wedding wedding run smoothly and perfectly. Because of her, we were able to sit back and actually enjoy our wedding. She was on top of everything! With her, nothing slipped through the cracks. My wedding dress bustle actually broke at one point and she went to her bag grabbed a kit out and fixed it immediately! I feel SO fortunate that we found her and she was available to help us. We met with a lot of planners before we chose one and Christina was by far at the top. She is worth so much more than what she charges! I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day stress free and perfect!
Through the entire planning phase and the wedding itself, Christina was outstanding. She took care of everything, including letting us know about things we would not have otherwise known needed to be taken care of. Through her, we found a great florist, baker, photographer, and more. Whenever we had questions, she had answers. Frequent meetings were possible to discuss details. She kept us on track with reminders about what needed to be completed and when. On the day of the ceremony, she knew precisely who needed to be where and when, and gave us clear instructions on how to proceed. The entire process, from start to finish, including the ceremony and reception, was seamless and essentially perfect. We could not have asked for a better wedding or a better wedding planner!
