Christine
Wedding Coordinator
Ever since I was a flower girl (age 5!), I've always been involved in weddings.If I wasn't asked to be a bridesmaid, pianist, or a speaker at the reception, I was the coordinator. And during that time, I noticed two things: 1. Bridal couples often ask a cousin or a good friend to coordinate, and that person never gets to enjoy the benefits of being a guest! 2. I love planning details, right down to the timing. I love making sure the bridal couple feels like they hosted the wedding they've always dreamed of, and at the end of the night, I want them to walk away overjoyed from their celebration.

Christine was absolutely amazing to work with! She helped us plan and execute our destination wedding in San Diego in just six months, and I honestly don’t know how we could have done it without her. From the very start, she went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. She scouted the perfect location and introduced us to an incredible team of vendors—including our photographer and videographer—using her deep connections not just in the Bay Area but also in SoCal.
What really stood out about Christine was not just her expertise and organization, but the way she fully supported and encouraged us throughout the entire process. She took the time to truly understand who we are as a couple and made sure that every decision felt authentic to us. She never pushed us toward anything that didn’t feel right—instead, she encouraged us to stay true to ourselves and helped create a wedding that felt genuinely ours.
She was an excellent communicator and always made sure we felt informed and prepared. Planning a destination wedding comes with extra logistics, and she handled everything seamlessly—coordinating with vendors, keeping us on track, and ensuring that even from afar, we felt confident and stress-free. Whether it was brainstorming ideas, problem-solving, or just offering reassurance when things felt overwhelming, Christine was there every step of the way. She also ran our rehearsal flawlessly, making sure everyone knew exactly what to do, which made a huge difference in keeping things smooth and stress-free on the wedding day. And despite the short timeline, she made sure every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed perfectly.
Not only did we love working with Christine, but all of my bridesmaids raved about her too! She kept everything organized, made sure everyone felt included, and just had such a great energy throughout the day.
I can’t recommend Christine enough! The fact that she pulled everything together for our destination wedding in just six months speaks volumes about her skill, dedication, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, supportive, and truly invested in making your day special, Christine is the one. We’re so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding unforgettable!

We cannot even begin to express how lucky we were to have gotten Christine as our wedding planner and coordinator. We had our wedding in SF City Hall on December 19.
She has made the wedding planning experience so seamless and memorable for us. She is very approachable from the get go and an excellent communicator. During the planning process she was always clarifying or giving suggestions when we were not clear on which direction to go. She valued our culture, tradition, but most importantly she valued what we wanted as a couple. She was such a strong support system. I (bride) unfortunately had lost a family member a month before the wedding and it took a big toll on us during the wedding planning but Christine was there to help facilitate a lot of the communication so I can take a break to grieve.
On the day of the wedding she made sure that everything ran smoothly, always available to provide reassurance to calm some of the wedding anxiety.
Our wedding was the closest thing we will ever have to a perfect evening and I know Christine and our other vendors worked very hard to make that happen. We actually sort of miss wedding planning and working with Christine! We highly recommend her services if you are looking for a wedding planner.

Planning a wedding is so complex and involves so many moving pieces that there are always bumps along the way, but so much of what went well about our wedding was due to Christine!
We reached out to Christine early in our wedding planning process and ended up hiring her for full planning services. Her experience in vendor selection and her flexibility in communication were some of the main factors in our decision. We didn't have many friends or family who have gotten married in the area, so being able to work from her shortlist of trusted vendors simplified our search so much. She helped us prioritize which ones to book first, and we really enjoyed all of the vendors she recommended, some of which we would have had no idea of without her! Additionally, her flexibility in working async with us over email and text was incredible. We were often doing planning after our own work hours, and no matter how late it was, Christine was always online with a prompt reply.
The true testament to Christine's skills came around the 3-month mark before our wedding. This was when all of the coordination and logistics came into play, and it was clear this is Christine's strong suit. She put together a comprehensive timeline and made sure to go over so many of the small details with us to ensure it was what we wanted. She also handled communications with all of our vendors to hash out all of their needs, which was so great not to have to worry about on our end! All of her meticulous planning and coordination allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without worry.
Luckily nothing unexpected came up, but if it had, we felt having Christine was like having an insurance policy or safety net, knowing she was there to handle any unforeseen issues like a pro. We’re truly grateful that working with Christine allowed us to enjoy our special day to the fullest!

Christine was awesome to work with for our wedding in San Francisco. From our first call, she was giving us ideas on how to handle the timeline of the wedding day in case we had a long gap between the ceremony and reception. These two themes carried through the entire planning process - she was always great at providing ideas for us to personalize our wedding day, and when we thought we had to cancel our photographer, she was so quick to reach out to some people she knew. We felt really taken care of by Christine.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was super diligent on putting together a timeline. As a big planner myself, this made me feel at ease and also helped me to really get an image of what the day would start to look like, as well as start to make granular decisions about things we may or may not want to add. On the day of, she was perfectly protective of us to make sure that we were having a great time and not bothered by logistics. I couldn't name a single thing that went wrong because Christine either handled it or made sure it wasn't a big deal! Highly recommend hiring Christine as your wedding planner!

Christine is BY FAR the most organized human being we have ever encountered! If you (and you DEFINITELY should) hire her as your event coordinator for your event, you will not be disappointed.
We had Christine coordinate our wedding, which normally would be such a stressful planning period. However, with Christine's help, the entire process was fun, low-stress and so easy. Christine recommended vendors whenever we were in need, came up with amazing ideas for our wedding, and took care of major issues without us asking! For example, on our wedding day, there were some issues with broken doors at our venue. Without hesitation, Christine tackled the issue for us so that we could continue our beautiful wedding day without having to worry. We appreciate her help and our wedding day would truly not be what it was without her!
Furthermore, Christine is great with people. She was able to handle our HUGE wedding party for wedding rehearsals, helped our friend get ordained as our minister, and coordinated all our vendors with ease. Christine made sure we were always taken care of and were not stressed by anything on our wedding day. She went way above and beyond what she needed to do. We have already recommended her highly to all our friends and family and hope you will do the same. Even our entire wedding party and our guests who had the pleasure of meeting Christine spoke highly of her and her organization!
Do yourself a favor and reach out. We promise you will not regret it. She will definitely execute your event perfectly.

Christine is a consummate professional when it comes to wedding planning. We feel so incredibly grateful to have had her help plan our wedding, and it was more beautiful than we could have imagined because of her.
Christine has great vendors. From florists, catering, event decor, and graphic design elements to the hair and makeup team, Christine works with amazing folks who help co-create memorable and bespoke events.
Christine is meticulous, communicative, considerate, and super on top of everything timing-wise. She spent countless hours texting, emailing, and speaking to us to ensure everything went smoothly. Her organized email threads and Google Docs are a testament to her expert project management skills. At junctures where we were undecided or struggling to make decisions, Christine offered guidance drawing on her decades of experience.
Christine truly cares about and celebrates each couple and their families. She is responsive to cultural considerations from decor to ceremony design to the reception food menu. She was so responsive that we would often tell her to stop responding to us at 1 or 2am.
Should we have any event planning needs in the future, we will be sure to use Christine. Any Bay Area couple seeking out a wedding planner would be remiss not to work with Christine.

Christine from WeddEng Boss is a hardworking, very professional and highly effective wedding planner and coordinator. Christine communicated with us in great detail to understand all our needs and learn our preferences for our wedding. She pointed us to great and affordable vendors which we never would’ve found otherwise; her recommendations for DJ, cake and photo booth were perfect. Because she was familiar with our venue, she had a great vision for what our wedding could look like and suggestions for how to get there.
When the weekend of our wedding arrived, not only did she take the time to talk through things and reduce our stress, she also managed the vendors and interfaced with the venue staff to make sure everything went perfectly. Despite all that, she still found the time to take some great pictures, and we received the first video of our first dance from her! We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding went, and a great deal of that success is owed to Christine’s hard work. We and our families deeply appreciate her and highly recommend her.

“…best party of the year and years to come!”,
“What a fun, fun party! We need a celebratory celebration!”,
“Scheduling, delicious dinner, yummy desserts, fun dancing and most of all family and friends coming together, a perfect evening!”.

Christine was amazing. She helped plan my wife's 40th birthday and went above and beyond. The vendor logistics rivaled that of a wedding and Christine managed the entire process so I only had to interface with her instead of ~15 vendors. She did weeks of planning to make sure everything was buttoned up going into the weekend, built a detailed schedule so everything was coordinated, and developed thoughtful touches and details that made the weekend perfect. She had an extensive network of decorators and other vendors she had worked with in the past that she was able to bring in as well. My wife and I were able to be guests rather than hosts at our own event which is a testament to the amount of management that Christine handled. Highly recommend

Christine was absolutely pivotal to our wedding! We had never been to a wedding before our own, and Christine was so helpful in guiding us through the planning process and offering thoughtful insight. Early on, she walked us through the whole timeline of what needed to get done, and was awesome about checking in with us to make sure it all happened. When it came time for the event, she made sure everyone from the wedding party to the parents to the other vendors were all on the same page. She kept us on schedule and made sure everything we wanted to happen was flawlessly executed. Her enthusiasm and kindness were infectious and kept us excited even when things were stressful. We planned many personal DIY touches, and Christine helped us realize each and every part of our vision. We were astounded how smooth and perfect the day was. Her detail oriented eye and excellent communication make Christine an easy recommendation! Christine’s support was truly invaluable. Thank you so much!

We wouldn’t have been able to get married without Christine and all her warmth, kindness, and professionalism. We were like bumbling baby deer before she came along and guided us with her expertise! She kept us informed as to where we were with our wedding day timeline with clear expectations and deliverables for us to execute against.
She had an absolutely amazing roster of vendors which all came highly reviewed and vetted. She handled a large portion of the communication - back-and-forth to get quotes, answers to questions, and all the various necessary details that come up with wedding planning.
She was also sensitive and respectful of traditional Chinese and Vietnamese cultural nuances tied to weddings, and made thoughtful suggestions.
Another aspect of her passion and professionalism in her craft was her forthrightness and honesty throughout the entire process. She will do everything possible to help you shape your wedding vision and bring it to life. Friends and family gushed about our venue, the food, and the entertainment. Many told us that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever attended, while staying very “us”. Thank you again Christine! We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!

Our experience with Christine was nothing short of incredible. Christine made us feel at ease throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding day with her timeliness, excellent communication, and utmost professionalism. Her support and guidance throughout the process definitely saved my wife and I from a lot of added stress. Her plethora of vendor partners and resources also made planning our big day so much easier!
Christine makes sure to fully understand your vision of how you want things to look like and happen and then makes the magic happen from there. She was very easily accessible via email/text at any hour of the day and always made sure to follow-up with us regarding action items on our timeline.
Our wedding day went as smooth as we could ask for and we owe a lot of that to Christine's dedication and commitment to making sure that everything went as smoothly as possible! Every guest that we spoke with had nothing but glowing praise about how great our wedding was.
"Do what you love, love what you do."
It was very clear to us that Christine loves event coordinating and that she has as true passion for the work that she puts into making sure that your special day is a rousing success.
We would highly recommend Christine the "WeddEng Boss" to anybody looking for an event coordinator.

Christine is a true professional. Many people told me to hire a wedding planner, and I am so glad we hired this one. From the beginning of the planning process we felt supported and knew that it would all come together in the end.
There is so much work involved in planning a wedding and Christine made this a smooth process. She knew so many little details and tips and tricks, there was no way we would have thought of half of the things she suggested. The pace of planning was reasonable and Christine handles the process like a project manager considering dependancies and milestones to keep us on track without a log jam of tasks leading into the day of. The consistent reminders to make decisions and do some homework helped us from going crazy in the final two months.
She helped us identify some really great vendors that fit our needs and preferences and then handled a good portion of the communication with our vendors to get quotes, manage follow up, and ask questions.
Beyond all of this Christine was very much aware of and sensitive to the cultural elements that we needed to include in our day. She helped us navigate some challenges in balancing out time, budget, and preferences and provided the tools we needed.
Several family members and friends have made comments like “Best wedding ever” and “wedding of the century” and we could not have pulled it off without Christine’s help. We even wished that we could have attended our own wedding as guests! At the end of the day, it was a great event and we could not imagine planning the wedding without Christine.

Christine was a wonderful asset and resource for our wedding! We hired her to help us plan our wedding in the bay area, which also included a Chinese tea ceremony. Christine’s breadth of experience in the industry impressed us from the start. She made us feel at ease and ready to take on the planning process with her from our initial call. She offered us advice and recommended vendors when we needed. She listened to what we wanted in the wedding and helped us execute our vision. She not only helped us navigate through any bumps during our planning process (such as venue changes) and smoothly helped coordinate with vendors in the weeks leading to the wedding, but more importantly she was an absolute superstar wedding planner on the wedding weekend. We did not stress about anything because we knew that Christine had everything under control. The wedding was executed perfectly and it was truly the best weekend of our lives. Christine works very hard and will always be there to answer any questions big or small - including fielding questions from our wedding guests! Christine is one of the most organized and detail-oriented people we have ever met - all things you want and absolutely need in a wedding planner.
Thanks so much for all your help, Christine! We are so grateful to you for all of your hard work.

What can we say about Christine that hasn’t already been said!?
Our 14-month journey with Christine was an absolute blessing. We initially ranked her last on our list of options based on online info only, and we only took a call with her because we ended up having reservations about our other options. That short phone consultation changed the game and it quickly revealed her unmatched passion for weddings and her intense commitment to her couples, thus making her the obvious choice.
From our first interaction to the days even after the wedding, Christine's infectious spirit made the whole process that much more enjoyable. Her professionalism and years of experience were highly valuable. From countless late night emails, a bazillion timeline tweaks (our fault, heh!), to her unwavering support - hiring Christine was THE key factor is our successful wedding. She became not just our coordinator but a true champion for us, guiding us through logistics and always prioritizing our interests. Our family and friends were impressed by how smoothly the day went and we of course have to credit her magic touch. She handles every detail and every problem with grace but is firm when she needs to be. Her name WeddEng BOSS is an extremely accurate description of her work ethic. Whenever she was around or involved it was like a breath of fresh air!
Choosing Christine was investing in someone who made our vision a reality. In the end, Christine's efforts didn't just help create the happiest day of our lives but also gave us memories for a lifetime. We are forever grateful to her and wish her continued success!!
TLDR - would recommend and would hire again!

Before we found Christine, choosing a wedding coordinator was just another item to check off from our to-do list. We even considered doing the planning ourselves (thank goodness we didn’t!).
Little did we know that Christine would be utterly essential to our whole experience and our best investment. Even as “just” a partial coordinator, she started helping us shape our vision a year in advance. Through a steady stream of thoughtful emails and texts, she uncovered gaps in our decision-making and guided our thinking about the experience we wanted both for ourselves and our guests. With her help, we finalized our timeline and decisions well in advance of the big day, which is not the norm for procrastinators like us! The wedding was a massive success (multiple guests referred to it as the best wedding they had been to), and we credit so much of that to Christine.
In addition to having an immense wealth of knowledge, Christine is also a master communicator. Every other vendor we worked with raved about her organization and professionalism in her outreach. One of the biggest challenges of wedding planning is coordinating between multiple vendors, especially when there are dependencies between them. Luckily we had Christine as our maestra, and our vendors knew exactly what they had to do and when they needed to do it on the big day.
Finally, Christine is a consummate cheerleader. In an industry notorious for lack of transparency and inconsistent communication, Christine was truly always there for us. She answered our questions thoroughly, broke down daunting tasks into manageable to-dos, and helped us feel excited about our vision. She treated our families with the same kindness, respect, and enthusiasm. Given the amazing experience we had with Christine, we plan to stay in touch with her and hire her for future celebrations.
If you’re thinking about hiring Christine, we urge you to end your search and just do it. You (and your lucky guests) will thank yourself later!

Worth every penny! Opting to use Christine as our wedding planner was one of our best decisions. She was literally AMAZING through every step of the wedding planning process. She kept us organized, thought of things we didn't, had consistent communication, very detailed itinerary, adaptable and helped to make the wedding day FANTASTIC. It was a huge help to have her as our go to person. She made sure everything we had planned was taking place and allowed us to focus on enjoying every minute of the day. She's a great person, was an absolute pleasure to work with, and totally invested the process and planning!

I had one call with Christine, and I knew she was the one! Christine has a warm, kind, inviting energy about her that puts anyone at ease. What initially sold me in our first conversation was the importance she placed on family - we had our reception at a Chinese restaurant, and bonded with Christine over the fact that our (picky) parents approved of and loved this venue. It gave us comfort that she was familiar with the manager and location. It’s clear that Christine comes with years of experience — she is always asking thoughtful questions, but is never pushy or too strong with her opinions or suggestions. I consider myself an intense planner and detail-oriented person, and Christine consistently matched (and often exceeded) my energy and expectations. I was hesitant about the necessity of a coordinator for our small 86 person event, but it was the best decision we made for our special day and worth every dollar. It was a stressful period, but we truly felt like we could show up and be taken care of every step of the way. She was constantly in contact with all our vendors and never missed a beat. Christine was professional, prompt, organized, and firm when she needed to be to keep the entire day on track. She helped us have the wedding of our dreams and I will be forever grateful. She feels like a dear friend now, and I would use her again in a heart beat. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a coordinator that they would trust with their lives! I would follow Christine off a cliff and trust that she’d have a parachute and escape boat ready for me to go

Hiring Christine was the best. I was able to just tell her my requirements and any specific needs and Christine just made it happen. My family was very pleased with the details that were implemented. Christine’s venue suggestion was perfect. We celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday and had a private room that accommodated us comfortably. And the food was delicious. Christine thought of things that I didn’t even consider:
- suggested a corsage for the guest of honor
- provided an individual bamboo plant for each guest (bamboo representing good luck and prosperity)
- created red name cards with gold accents (colors representing good luck, joy and prosperity)
- added some fun by surprising everyone with a lotto ticket hidden underneath each dinner plate
- asked if we wanted music. The restaurant provided a Bluetooth speaker, allowing us to play music that enhanced the overall experience.
The evening went smoothly and I would hire Christine again in a heartbeat.

Christine is an ABSOLUTE and consummate professional! Trust me when I say that she went above and beyond our own expectations with every single detail about our wedding. From start to finish, we could not have had our dream wedding without her level of attention to detail. That is one of her traits that makes her so special. She will make sure that she understands your vision of what you want to happen and will come up with a game plan to make it happen.
She was with us every step of the way from booking all of our vendors all the way up to the day after to explain the aftermath of our wedding. With close to 300 people, so many things could have gone wrong on the day of our wedding, but did we know about any of it? Not ONE detail. Christine made sure that our focus was on each other and that we enjoyed every moment of our wedding. Apparently one thing after another was not going as planned and Christine handled it gracefully and without a hitch. There was even a moment in our wedding where it could have been a total disaster, but Christine remained patient, calm, and collected which was exactly what we needed at the time.
There was never a time where she wasn't accessible for a quick question (which there were hundreds) and there were times we were even having full on text conversations at 2am!
Overall, Christine is just the best and I would not recommend any other coordinator! You would be lucky to have her as a part of your special day. 1000/10 would highly recommend.

We worked with Christine to plan our wedding in May of this year in the Sonoma area. From our first phone call with her I was impressed by her organizational skills and her commitment to making our day just how we wanted it. As the wedding approached she kept us on track with lots of check-ins while working behind the scenes with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. Planning a wedding can definitely feel overwhelming, but having Christine on our side making sure we didn't miss anything was incredibly helpful.
When the big day arrived we were feeling confident that everything would go smoothly - and it did! The flow of the day was very natural thanks to the detailed planning that Christine had helped us with in advance. Our guests had an a amazing time, we got so many beautiful photos, and we really felt that our preferences were taken into account so that our personality as a couple shined through.
We would definitely recommend working with Christine for wedding or other event planning - she is a great person to have on your side and you can trust her to not overlook any details! Thanks Christine for all of your help and support!

We had the pleasure of working with Christine as our wedding planner, and we can confidently say that she exceeded all our expectations. Her meticulous and execution-oriented approach aligned perfectly with what we needed and wanted in a wedding planner.
Being a person who tends to worry about every little detail, having Christine by our side was an absolute blessing. She paid close attention to every aspect of our wedding and asked insightful questions about things we hadn't even considered, like table settings, escort cards, and even incorporating essential Chinese and Jewish elements that were deeply meaningful to us. Plus she knew our venue really well, which helped immensely in our planning process.
One of the standout aspects of Christine's services was the immaculate schedule she put together for us. No detail was left behind, and she left no stone unturned. We genuinely collaborated on every aspect, and her minute-by-minute schedule not only brought clarity to us but also to our families. It was a game-changer in terms of organization and coordination.
As the big day drew near, Christine's expertise truly shone through. During the last few weeks of wedding planning, she was effectively "on call," providing support and guidance whenever we needed it. During the rehearsal and wedding day, as things started to get a bit stressful, Christine's presence was invaluable. She took charge in guiding us through each step, ensuring that both my husband and I, along with the cantor/officiant and our parents, knew exactly what to do. I knew we were all nervous, and having her guide us really calmed our nerves!
On the actual wedding day, Christine's dedication and attentiveness was so special. She took care of everything, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about any logistical or coordination issues. With weddings often passing in a whirlwind, Christine kept us on track, and we felt incredibly well taken care of throughout the day. She made sure that we were the stars of the show while ensuring our guests felt welcome and appreciated.
Selecting Christine as your wedding planner will undoubtedly be a delightful decision. She is a true professional who puts her clients' needs first and foremost. Her ability to understand and execute our vision flawlessly made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Christine to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your special day truly magical!!

Christine went above and beyond to help us plan and coordinate our son’s 100 day event! She curated amazing vendors for everything we needed and more. Her responses were always quick and she answered at all times of the day/night. We appreciated that she was never too pushy and very respectful of our needs. On the day of the event she was ON IT and it was a hit! I could not recommend working with Christine more :).

Christine is the consummate professional! Having her on your team means having peace of mind through a joyous yet sometimes stressful process.
We hired Christine based on the recommendation of our wedding venue, and in doing so we hired a coach to guide us through a somewhat complicated process, and a champion who advocated for us and put our interests first.
We showed up for our wedding weekend and genuinely did not have to think about anything beyond enjoying our time with our guests, and following Christine's directions.
We hired Christine for partial services, but the value we received far exceeded what we expected. She provided recommended vendors based on our budget requirements, as well as advice on what to ask for. About 2 months before, we had our onsite walkthrough, where we established the schedule of the day. From there, Christine worked with the vendors and with us to hone the schedule down to the minute. She then enforced it, so everyone was where they were supposed to be, and the day went as planned! If it didn't, I have no idea because she handled it, she made the process smooth, and most importantly as the couple, she put our experience of the day first.
To say our wedding was a success is an understatement, and we have Christine to thank for it! 10/10 completely recommend.

Christine was one of the best event planners! We were able to give her a vision of the theme we wanted and she made it a reality! She listened and understood what we were looking for, and she guided us when we needed help. She kept us and the project on schedule. Her extensive experience meant that she was able to anticipate details that we wouldn't have thought of. She's classy, tasteful, mindful of our budget, and so easy to work with.

Weddings are tough to plan and it is not made easier with jobs and everyday commitments. We knew this going into it and as a result, talked to four different wedding planners and deliberated carefully. Ultimately, Christine impressed us with her professionalism, track record, and sincerity. Working with Christine was one of the most impactful choices we made during our planning phase and the success of our big day is largely attributed to her. She worked with us from the very beginning of our wedding planning and it was easy to tell that she was highly experienced. She provided vendor recommendations, input for decisions we needed to make, and helped us form a timeline with all of our needs in place. One particular need that we had to accomodate for was fitting in a Chinese tea ceremony somewhere among all the busy events that day, but Christine came up with a plan and all of our concerns were put at rest. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive, proactive, and amazingly detail oriented. Our vendors and wedding party were highly impressed with the level of detail and thought that went into her timeline.
Aside from all of the normal wedding planning aspects of things, Christine is an even better person and that showed itself when we had a huge hurdle to overcome when we needed to unexpectedly cancel and reschedule the original wedding plans two days before the date. When we were in no condition to think properly, Christine was able to take action quickly and communicate with all of our vendors and the venue. The result was a successful rescheduling with all of our original vendors. Throughout this time when we felt admittedly pretty devastated, Christine was there supporting us emotionally and taking care of all the logistics that go behind a last minute wedding rescheduling.
At the end of the day, the results speak for themselves and our big day was a great success. Our wish was to enjoy the day without having to stress the little things, and Christine made that wish come true. All of our family and friends commented on how smoothly everything went and we kept telling them that we had a great planner. We knew nothing about wedding planning heading into this, but we were guided by the best in Christine. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and getting to know her - at the end it felt like working with a friend. Christine will always have our support and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us.

We both have jobs that don't leave us with a lot of free time, and Christine was available to help us, even at odd hours of the evening. I would recommend anyone looking to get married to reach out to Christine!

My wife and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have worked with Christine as our month-of/day-of wedding coordinator.
We work full-time jobs, and one of our fears was that we would be behind on something. Christine’s experience and communication skills were invaluable to keeping us on track. She was deliberate and thorough in ensuring that we had thought about everything that we needed to by asking detail-oriented questions frequently and well ahead of deadlines. Perhaps most importantly, she would think for us when we were occupied with our day jobs, and therefore outright unable to make all of the considerations that we needed about our wedding. Without her in-the-background efforts, I’m certain we would have had a stressful lead up to the big day.
To us, transparency means being able to get answers to our questions. For our wedding, we already had a vision for what we wanted, but we needed Christine to help fill in some gaps. We asked Christine for suggestions for vendors, and when we asked about why she recommended them and what made them special, she was clear with her reasoning. This gave us confidence in moving forward with selecting those vendors. Christine also put together our wedding timeline, including the schedule and details for the rehearsal and the wedding day. She shared this via Google-Docs and opened the entire thing up for us to make comments and to discuss every item well ahead of schedule. When the big day came, we were not surprised by anything because Christine kept us involved throughout the process.
We are organized people, which extends to budget planning. With Christine, she was clear about her fees, and when she put her contract together it was easy to read and understand. There were no questions about what services we were paying for.
A wedding is a big event, and we had many vendors who all had their own schedules and availability. We found that the most frustrating part was when we needed to address an issue or ask a question, some of our vendors were not responsive. Christine was not one of those vendors - she was available at every instance that we needed her. As our wedding approached, we realized that there was a slight possibility of rain. We did not have a rainy-day plan in place, so we tried to organize a meeting between a number of the vendors who would be key in coming up with a contingency plan. The only responsive vendor was Christine, who worked hard in those last few days to reach the unresponsive vendors on our behalf and convey our concerns and to elicit a response. In all other aspects of communication - asking for her advice, making requests for help, further communicating with vendors, etc. - Christine’s record with us was impeccable.
Gameday: This was perhaps the most stand-out aspect of Christine’s work. On the wedding day, we never at any point felt lost about what we needed to do next. It’s not an understatement to say that you will have practically no time to yourself on the wedding day, and we can attest to that. We literally would not have any time to think about “what comes next” in terms of where we needed to be and when. Fortunately, that wasn’t an issue because of Christine. She managed all of the vendors, corralled our designated helper-guests, and directed us all night. All we had to do was follow directions. Though we were busy every minute of the wedding, because of Christine’s guidance we were never overwhelmed, and had just enough time and energy to enjoy our special day.

Christine was a magnificent wedding planner! We had some vague ideas for our wedding, but did not know all the intricate details that were involved. Thankfully, Christine was there to guide us. She had a network of vendors to refer us to and threw in recommendations we never knew existed. Christine was always available to answer any questions that we had and provided emotional support when we didn't know we needed it. On the day of the wedding, Christine took care of every detail and made contingency plans when there were last minute changes. We could not have had so much fun at our wedding without her. She ensured the timeline was executed, everyone was accounted for, and closing out the wedding was a success. We highly recommend Christine's services!

With ease, we recommend WeddEngBoss 1000%! We feel very lucky to have chosen Christine as our wedding planner. From our consultation call, my partner knew that she would be a good fit for us while planning our destination wedding from across the U.S. What I remember most about the planning time were the long conversations Christine and I had to understand our vision and to hammer down those essential first details. Having decided to sign up for month-of coordination services only, I was frankly surprised by how much we talked and figured out together then. Looking back, I will absolutely recollect those moments as the foundations of how much we enjoyed our wedding day-- we were supported by a planner with true grit, expert knowledge and great communication. During the actual week, of course were there were some hurdles that required flexibility from our wedding party, and I loved the way Christine melded with our family/friend groups to resolve those challenges. Last but not least, I want to highlight that I felt very secure with Christine's representation with all our vendors. We went with a few of her recommended vendors, who were excellent in their own right, but trusting her with vendors that were new to both of us came easy.

Christine has been so amazing to work with for our wedding on 8/20/2022! From our first phone conversation and all throughout planning, she was very easy to talk to, very detail oriented, and very articulate with her ideas and explanations. She was a very good voice of reason and gave so many great ideas and recommendations that aligned with our vision. She would often pop in to ask us a big list of questions or have us make a few decisions, which can feel a bit daunting at first, but we knew were absolutely necessary things to consider. Honestly we’re so thankful for her to bring these topics up because we probably wouldn’t have thought of it until it was too late! We also appreciated that she was always willing to listen to what we had in mind, and never made us feel pressured to have to go a certain way.
She did an amazing job keeping us feeling supported at all times during any road bump along the way. On the big day, she worked hard behind the scenes keeping us on schedule and taking care of any issues that came up so that we can enjoy our special day. All in all, we connected so well with Christine and can’t recommend her enough!

Christine was the third wedding planner to whom we talked. In the middle of our first phone call, my husband told me that he didn't want to talk to any other planner.
Wedding planning could be very stressful and we were able to handle everything well because of Christine. My husband and I had no idea what kind of wedding we want and couldn't be more unfamiliar with the terms. During the planning, when it came to each aspect, Christine offered several ideas for us to choose, and she even shared links for us to read if it's something new to us. She is always patient, no matter when helping us to make difficult choices, or explaining what key points/details should we pay attention to. And she respects our preferences, and never tries to force any idea on us. Never.
Christine eased my stress by working on things ASAP and also by her supportive and kind words the entire time (8 months!)! We always joked that she doesn't sleep - that's how efficient and hard-working she is! On top of everything, we ended up liking every vendor whom she referred us to. Amazing people gather and connect to each other.
We are very happy that we met Christine for our important day. And we HIGHLY recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding planner! The pleasure is ours working with her.

My husband and I had a small intimate wedding ceremony in the midst of covid spring 2021. We had been planning on having a 1 year anniversary wedding reception in 2022 to have a larger celebration with our family and friends but had been procrastinating with the planning process. We found ourselves 4 months before our reception having booked a venue and a caterer but not much else and that's when Christine came to the rescue!
Christine was a calming presence from the very beginning. We really appreciated that she first just wanted to listen to us and hear our hope and vision for our reception. She was quick to provide referrals to vendors and was respectful of our budget as well! Because of her experience, she brought up considerations that we would have never thought of to help our guests feel comfortable for our outdoor reception.
She was very organized and kept us on track with making sure we had a detailed timeline. We even decided a few days before our reception to add in a tea ceremony. She was so supportive and helped us to adjust our timeline to make it work.
Christine also did a wonderful job in helping us assign roles to those supporting us (our family and bridal party) so that we didn't take on all the responsibilities ourselves on the day of. We loved working with Christine and we know you will too - with her calming presence, her experience, and organization you won't regret hiring her!!

This review is long overdue, partially because it was quite the daunting task to try to put into words how INSTRUMENTAL Christine was to our wedding's success. (Sorry, Christine!!). But let me try to explain just how awesome Christine was:
Our wedding took place in July 2021. I found Christine during the Spring of 2021, after I had already postponed (and relocated) our nearly-fully planned wedding from Chicago to the Bay Area. With the uncertainty of COVID, we moved the "venue" to my parents' backyard.
With the stress of re-planning a wedding and COVID, I had put off planning for our July 2021 wedding. Other than our photographer and caterer, we had to find all new vendors. Christine could not have been more helpful, and I knew she was the right planner from our first phone call. She was reassuring and I knew we'd be in good hands with her. We hired her the next day.
Right after we started working with her, Christine hit the ground running INSTANTLY. She lined up numerous amazing vendor recommendations and walked my now-husband and I through everything we would need to do step by step. She is the queen of Google Docs (which I love) and keeping everyone on the same page. She was also extremely detail oriented but knew when to give us a bit of breathing room when we were getting overwhelmed.
She was always responsive over text, phone, email (really anything) and no question was too big or small for her, and she definitely talked me down from the ledge several times (more times than I'd like to admit :) ). She also helped us navigate the complexities involved with a multicultural backyard wedding and dealing with the layout and rentals with our caterer.
Christine ran a great rehearsal and got everyone on the same page quickly and efficiently (and with fun!). On the day of the wedding, Christine was ON TOP OF HER GAME and kept everything running. I wasn't aware of any mishaps and she and her assistant had every single thing running smoothly. She was also a calming presence and made sure to check in with me throughout the day. My parents were also so happy with her and how organized everything was. They even received feedback from several guests afterwards saying it was one of the most relaxed and organized weddings they'd ever attended.
Christine, we are immensely grateful to you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I have worked with Christine on both ends of event planning, both and someone hosting a party and as a wedding cake vendor. As someone hosting a party Christine was ready for any challenge and I never had to worry that things weren't going to happen the way I envisioned them.
As a wedding cake vendor I know that my delivery and set up will always run smoothly. The timeline and communication of who, what, where and when are always a weight off of my shoulders.
So as a vendor and a host, Christine gets my my 5 stars. Highly recommend.

I have taken far too long to write this review. Our wedding was in October 2021 (originally scheduled October 2020 and then November 2020) and Christine has stuck with us the entire time. I found her through The Knot what feels like ages ago and I think finding her was fate. I honestly cannot imagine how we would have made it through multiple date and venue changes due to COVID-19, sourcing all of our brilliant vendors that were part of our event, and keeping me (an extremely indecisive person) on track with planning what felt like two different events over the span of two years. To be honest I knew I had to have her on my team after our first conversation. She just exudes good vibes and chill energy but also really knows how to get things done quickly and effectively (this woman helped my photographer stop traffic in San Francisco and got the hotel to allow us access to the roof that resulted in absolutely gorgeous wedding photos). She had amazing ideas (many of which I totally took and was super excited about) and she was able to help me actualize my own ideas into something real that made gorgeous and meaningful memories for me, my husband and all of my loved ones. I know most people say you want to spend the most thought and money on the food or the photos or whatever will impress the guests the most but to be honest I couldn't have had such beautiful photos, such delectable food, and such an amazing experience for my friends and family without her. Going into my wedding I knew I needed someone professional, organized and knowledgeable and honestly, Christine is just that and so so much more. My wedding was a literal moonlit and star crossed dream (even with all of the little crazy things in between) and I truly have her to thank for it.

Out of all the decisions for our wedding, hiring Christine was one of the best decisions we made. We had a short engagement period and with Covid on top of that we thought hiring a coordinator would be a good idea. We went with the “month of” option with Christine and overall she was very professional, friendly, and detail-oriented.
Something that we really appreciated from Christine was her support during our wedding venue search. When our wedding venue double-booked us, we had to settle for another location on their site. Christine offered to meet with us during this process and helped us negotiate upgrades to our table linens, uplighting, charger plates, sparklers,and X-back chairs as complimentary services to correct our venue’s mistake. As a result we had to do much more planning and Christine worked with us well before the month of our wedding. She didn’t have to do this nor did she charge us extra for her time.
Christine helped us think about scenarios that we didn’t anticipate which really showed her expertise. She made sure we delegated small tasks to our family and wedding party that really made a big difference the morning of our wedding day which took off a lot of stress from us on our special day. From the rehearsal session to the end of the reception, Christine really took on her role as coordinator and made sure everything went smoothly with all our vendors and guests while managing a tight schedule.

I hired Christine last fall to help me plan a casino night event at our house for my husband's birthday. I had never planned an event like this at our home and having Christine's expertise was incredibly helpful. Not only is it very clear how experienced she is, but she is so easy to work with! Christine made it a point to listen to what my needs specifically were and was able to find me the vendors she thought would be suitable for our event. Christine went above and beyond to make our event a success. Everything was on time; her presence there the day of made the event stress -free so we could all enjoy ourselves without any worry. I highly recommend Christine for anyone who is looking for an event planner and will surely be reaching out to her for future events!

Christine is the only way to go for wedding planning. We booked Christine very early on into our engagement but due to the pandemic we didn't meet in person until our rehearsal dinner - but it was like picking up conversation with an old friend. Christine was so communicative, knowledgeable, and really empathetic to mine and my partners needs, concerns, stress, etc. I don't know how I would have gotten through without her. Post-wedding we had guests mentioning Christine and her professionalism and dedication and how they were in awe of her. I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to work with Christine and I am very grateful to her for all of her hard work and dedication.

Being a wedding photographer for over 15 years, and witnessing more than 450 weddings, I've never worked with a planner who was more thorough than Christine, ever. If you want someone to take the reins and make your every wish come true, you've found the right person. I'm only sad that Christine isn't at all of my weddings- my life would be utterly perfect then!

Christine was amazing to work with for all my wedding planning needs. She's very detailed and will ask you any and all the questions you probably never thought of - which is a good thing! She provided a whole list of vendors for vendors I was missing and was very thankful for all the resources she provided me.
I don't think my wedding day would have gone as smoothly as it did without all her help. She made sure I was doing okay throughout the day and making sure I was stress-free and on time for the schedule. One of my vendors mentioned that they were very thankful for Christine as she was super helpful throughout the setup process. She's amazing at what she does and you won't regret hiring Christine!!! Thank you for everything :)

Christine Eng lives up to her name of “event boss”! This woman can make magic happen. I reached out to Christine with only three months to go before my San Francisco wedding. The only things we had booked were food, venue, and hotel for our guests –no band, no photographers, no cake. I was sure like others we had reached out to, she would turn us down, three months almost no time to plan a wedding. However, Christine was so amazing and gladly rose up to the challenge. It was clear Christine is an incredible wedding/event planner. She immediately went to work helping us identify the different vendors we would need, helping us identify which ones might work best for our event, and contacting the ones we wanted to work with to make arrangements. It was so wonderful having her help us every step of the way, there was no detail that escaped her—it’s clear that she is a professional who has done this for a long time! I was seriously dreading my wedding, it felt like a daunting task and I didn’t have the time or energy to do the planning. Thanks Christine, for being a truly amazing planner and a making my day so easy for me, and such a memorable joy!

Thank you so much for making Desiree and Jorge’s dream wedding a reality! You had the venue the day of the wedding running like a well oiled machine. The venue was more beautiful than I have ever seen. I can never thank you enough for all of your hard work you did to get Desiree and Jorge thru this madness during covid. Your professionalism is second to none! It’s one thing to be hired as a wedding planner but it’s another to make it feel as if you were family. With all the craziness of a wedding day…you made it seem effortlessly. The pictures and videos you have shared after the wedding are amazing. Thank you so much for all you did!

When I first decided to plan a wedding, within three months no less, in the middle of a pandemic but right around the time when it seemed like we were about to come out of it with everything reopening and vaccines providing us with some protection, I was just thinking that it was going to be something small, casual, and affordable. While I am used to planning events, I realized that being the bride at your own wedding meant that it would be really hard to take care of a lot of the small (and big) details the day of and that I really needed a wedding coordinator. When I first made contact with Christine, we had a really great conversation where she was able to provide me with lots of ideas and asked me questions about details that I would have never considered. I could totally tell that Christine was a pro at wedding planning. However, I was trying to keep costs down and initially couldn't justify spending the money on a wedding coordinator, even though she was fairly reasonably priced compared to other coordinators. So, I continued to plan on my own for another month before I finally came to the conclusion that the cost to have someone professional to help me out was worth it. Luckily, when I reached out to Christine again, she was still available. For the next two months, Christine and I communicated practically everyday, working out all of the details to the timeline, adjusting to new and last minute changes, and sometimes, Christine would be a source of emotional support by being positive and encouraging when things seemed to go wrong during planning. On the actual wedding day, when people tell you that you will be really busy, that is definitely the understatement of the year! I barely had time to talk to anyone and was constantly on the go. It was hard for me to know what was going on half of the time. But, having Christine there, to coordinate with my vendors and everyone else who was helping out, and dealing with any issues that came up, allowed me to enjoy the day without stressing out about the small stuff. While there will always be little things here and there that go wrong, Christine was able to take care of all of that stuff and make everything proceed without a hitch. I had so many of my guests tell me that they had such a great time and that it was about as perfect a wedding out of any wedding that they have ever attended. While some of it had to the do with being lucky with the perfect weather and full moon while eating outdoors on a patio with a view (and probably going out and partying for the first time in a long time!), Christine was a huge part of what made the entire day an enjoyable experience for myself and everyone there. In retrospect, hiring Christine was definitely one of the best decisions that I made in planning this wedding and I highly recommend her services!

ppy that you, your husband (!!) and your guests were able to enjoy yourselves. You are correct -- sometimes things happen that we cannot control, but I was able to address these circumstances because you trusted me, and that made all the difference! Planning your wedding with you was very much my pleasure!

Christine was simply the best! Given the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, we decided to have a micro-wedding with 18 people total. We contacted Christine a little less than 5 months before our desired date, and she was a tremendous help from day 1.
We booked most of our main vendors within the first week of hiring her; Christine had a shortlist of vendors for every look and feel we wanted and was available pretty much 24/7, which made the booking process very easy.
Christine was also the liaison between us and the event coordinator at our venue, and she was on top of the communication. She was really persistent whenever we did not hear from the coordinator right away.
She was also incredibly meticulous with the schedule of wedding day. Our wedding day went incredibly smoothly, and so many guests have commented on how great of a wedding it was.
We were first unsure whether hiring a wedding planner was necessary for such a small wedding, but thinking retrospectively, we wouldn't have been able to pull this off without Christine. We wholeheartedly recommend her for your event!

I loved working with Christine on a recent baby shower. She contacted me about a last-minute gig fill and clearly communicated expectations for me as a photographer as well as her client's desires for the event. Her vendor list and communications made the entire day a breeze, and she was helpful and supportive onsite. She thoughtfully made me feel like a part of the event as a vendor and I can't wait to partner with her in the future. As a Bay Area native, I am now personally interested in her services and would recommend her to anyone!

I’ve worked with Christine on a wedding photo shoot as the seamstress and working with her was such a delight. She is one of the most creative wedding planners ever. Throughout the many weddings I’ve witnessed her planning, she is super organized and her work definitely speaks for itself. She accounts for every detail from how the dress should be tailored specifically for a person to table setting to every single activity that happens at the event. I cannot wait to work with her again! :)

I am both pleased and grateful that you agreed to be a part of my team for our styled shoot at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco's Nob Hill. It's no wonder that the Bay Area's 7x7 published our work!
