The first thing my mom said to me the morning after our wedding was, "Christine was worth every penny and more." Looking back, we couldn't agree more.
From the very beginning, Chr...
istine was organized, responsive, thoughtful, and completely invested in making our wedding everything we envisioned. I came to her with inspiration, ideas, and Pinterest boards, and she transformed them into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Even in the areas where I had no idea where to start, she took my vision, filled in the gaps with her creativity and expertise, and made every detail feel cohesive and intentional.
One thing we especially appreciated was how collaborative she was throughout the entire process. While she had wonderful vendor recommendations, she was also completely supportive when we wanted to branch out and find vendors on our own. She never made us feel pressured to use only her preferred vendors, instead, she embraced our ideas, helped us evaluate our options, and worked seamlessly with every member of our vendor team to bring our vision to life.
On our wedding day, she was nothing short of incredible. Every vendor knew exactly where they needed to be, our timeline flowed seamlessly, and every little detail came together perfectly. If anything unexpected happened, we never knew about it because Christine handled it before it ever reached us. She gave us the greatest gift a wedding planner can give: the ability to be fully present and enjoy every single moment with our family and friends.
Beyond her professionalism, Christine genuinely cares about her couples. Throughout our planning process, our family experienced the heartbreaking loss of my dad. Christine met us with compassion, flexibility, and grace, helping us navigate an incredibly emotional season while ensuring our wedding still reflected so much love and joy. We will never forget her kindness during that time.
Hiring Christine was one of the best decisions we made. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding weekend so unforgettable.
If you're considering hiring Christine, don't hesitate. She truly is worth every penny and so much more.
We truly cannot put into words how amazing our experience was with Christine and her entire team. We are so incredibly grateful for everything she did for us throughout the wedding...
planning process.
From our very first call, we knew Christine would do an incredible job, but she still managed to exceed every expectation. She went above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding, from creating a beautiful design board and helping us select and communicate with vendors to guiding us through countless details and decisions, keeping everything organized, and making the entire process feel manageable and enjoyable.
Christine was there for us every step of the way and always made us feel supported. Her expertise, calm guidance, attention to detail, and strong relationships with our venue and vendors helped ensure that every element of our wedding came together perfectly.
On the wedding day, Eric and I, along with all of our guests, were completely blown away by the way Christine and her team coordinated everything so seamlessly. They were truly the reason every part of the day felt effortless and absolutely perfect.
Choosing Christine was one of the best decisions we made, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!
— Jenna & Eric
We highly recommend the CME team! We worked with Christine and team for our fall 2025 wedding in DC. We can’t imagine what our day would have been like without them. We are so so ...
glad we chose to use their full planning services.
We had a particular vision for the vibe and style of our wedding, and Christine helped bring it to life and go beyond our expectations. She was a true partner in all steps of the process and would iterate with us until things were exactly what we wanted, while incorporating her expertise throughout all decisions. For areas we wanted to be less involved or were unsure about, we had complete trust in her recommendations.
On the day itself, her team was in particularly invaluable. We were able to enjoy our day without any worry because of their in-depth support.
Highly recommend for DMV wedding planning needs!
Christine and her team were amazing to work with. From the start, her calm presence eased so much of my anxiety. Anytime I needed to vent, rethink a detail, or get reassurance, she...
had a solution and made everything feel easy. She kept me organized and guided me step by step so I always knew exactly where we were in the process.
What I appreciated most was that planning never felt stressful. Venue visits, tastings, and checking things off the list were actually fun, and I genuinely looked forward to each step. Christine created an environment where the entire experience felt enjoyable instead of overwhelming.
On our wedding day, someone from her team was always nearby, making sure every detail was handled so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Christine kept everything running smoothly and on schedule, which allowed us to fully relax and be present.
She listened to our vision, took it seriously, and brought it to life even more beautifully than we imagined. We’re so grateful for her support, professionalism, and genuine care. If you want a planner who truly listens and makes the entire experience calm and seamless, Christine McFarlane Events is the perfect choice!
How can we possibly verbalize how amazing our experience was with Christine and her whole team. When we met Christine, close to two years before our planned wedding date, we had an...
extravagant, but unorganized, idea of what we wanted for our TWO wedding dates. As a American-Indian marriage, it was important that honored both of our families. We decided on a small ceremony in Maine that hit the important pieces of both cultures, and a big reception in Maryland that was more tailored toward the Indian side of our family.
When we returned for the follow up meeting, we were beyond amazed with the way she both incorporated our ideas and went to the next level of perfect ideas that we couldn't possibly dream of. Christine CRUSHED both parts.
Her team was amazing all the way through both dates, and we could not possibly have asked for a more perfect wedding and reception. Her team was always there when we needed them, but never oppressive. They truly felt like part of our friend group who was there to celebrate us. We would not hesitate to book Christine again, over and over. Her and her team's calm demeanor, thorough planning, connections, ideas, and more than we can think of at the moment make her the undisputed choice for wedding and event planning. Not only does she (and her team) feel like the planner and coordinator, she (they) feel like part of the event. Do yourself a favor and book Christine!
Christine and her team (Sydney, Megan and McKenzie) were absolutely phenomenal, they went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams a reality and we couldn’t have been more lucky...
to have chosen them! Over the course of working together Christine prepared detailed a detailed vision board with options based on desires I had shared with her, provided links making it super easy to click and purchase, had monthly checklists ready to go, and coordinated with all of our vendors. As an out of state bride who has a crazy work schedule we relied heavily on Christine and she truly delivered! She made sure every detail was accounted for and any last minute changes were adjusted. On the day of our wedding Her and her team were so amazing in regards to the day of details, willing to make all my dreams come true even if the whether/ wind wasn’t on their side. She flawlessly executed the design of our wedding and we received so many compliments from our guests and other vendors! We truly had an amazing day that exceeded all of our expectations thanks to her and her team! Her and her team are all around amazing and we would hire them again in a heartbeat!
We were absolutely blown away by how incredible Christine and her team are! We literally don’t know what we would have done without them!
Leading up to our wedding day Christine a...
nd team were so responsive and so ready and willing to help us with anything and everything, big or small. We knew from the moment we had that initial call with Christine that she would do a fantastic job, but she exceeded our expectations designing a beautiful design board, and helping us flesh out every single detail to bring it to life. We went with a limited package but we still felt like Christine was our full time personal planner, there for us for everything we could have asked for and more!
Elexa, our lead coordinator, was just unparalleled. Whatever we needed, she was there in an instant, finding a veil we totally forgot about, fixing my mom’s bloody arm, or taking our dog out! And even though we were behind schedule and she never once made us feel rushed or stressed and managed to keep us on the rails even when we had all these crazy things we wanted to do!!
You will be so, so happy if you choose CME events for your wedding! Truly unparalleled!
Christine and her team made the whole wedding planning process a dream. Christine made sure to talk with my fiancé and I about our vision and what special features we wanted. With ...
my family being out of state, I relied heavily on Christine for the full planning process. She was able to find us vendors like our photographer, band, florist, and rentals who matched our personalities and wedding vision. Most people say wedding planning is so stressful and Christine made the whole process feel easy. Everything she curated and showed us matched exactly what we were thinking and some was even beyond what we could have imagined. On the day of our wedding, Christine and her team were there to handle everything. I truly could enjoy the moment and not worry about how things would get set up. While Christine was making sure the room was set to perfection, Elexa was with me the whole time taking care of anything I needed. All the behind the scenes videos and photos she took were so special. The entire night was amazing and stress free because of Christine and her team. The best decision we did was hire Christine McFarlane Events <3
Christine and her team are nothing short of amazing. We found out about Christine through a friend and we are so grateful that we did. From our first meeting with her, we knew we w...
ere in great hands. Her attention to detail and eye for design are unmatched. We felt like she really understood our vision and everything about our day went so smoothly. Throughout the planning process things felt easy because Christine kept us on track, made sure we met deadlines, answered all of our questions, and addressed any concerns that we had. When the day finally came, my husband and I were completely at ease. If there were any hiccups, we had no idea because everything was handled by Christine and her team calmly and quickly. To say that we were impressed is an understatement. We cannot recommend Christine McFarlane Events enough!!
We don't have enough good things to say about Christine and her team! From our first meeting to discuss her partial planning services for our wedding to the final closing details o...
f our day, there wasn't a single item that was overlooked. Christine's exceptional design skills, talented team of vendors, knowledge of the industry and perfect project management skills allowed us to create the wedding weekend of our dreams. We were able to enjoy our weekend without a single bit of stress because she and her team had every detail covered! We really can't express our thanks for the CME team enough!!
Christine McFarlane is an exceptional event planner who is kind, professional, communicative, and has an exquisite eye for design.
I first found Christine on social media and after...
our initial phone call I knew I wanted to work with her to plan my wedding. From day one she listened to not only the look we wanted to have for our wedding but also the feel and how we wanted our guests to experience the weekend. After discussing preliminary design ideas, Christine developed an entire vision board using Canva to highlight every aspect of our wedding from the save the dates and invitation suite to the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party. This is one of two areas where Christine really shines - design. She has a knack for pattern matching, incorporating details special to the couple, building color palettes and design themes as threads throughout the entire wedding, all while sticking to the budget. Additionally, Christine recommended amazing vendors to join our vendor team and she traveled with us to site visits, showrooms, and tastings as we planned the wedding. She answered communications in a timely manner and she genuinely cared about both our wedding and us every step of the way, she is an extraordinary professional. This is the other area where Christine really shines - professionalism. It rained on our wedding day, less than an hour before our outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin, Christine handled it alongside our venue coordinator with ease and I didn't even have to be involved. She handled all of our vendors seamlessly in the weeks leading up to the wedding and during the wedding weekend. She and her team executed our wedding superbly, allowing my now-husband and me to enjoy our wedding as the guests of honor, not the hosts.
I can't imagine having planned or executed our wedding without Christine, if you have the opportunity to work with her, don't miss it!
Christine and her team absolutely blew my wedding out of the park. There are not enough words to describe how magical she made our weekend and entire process planning our wedding. ...
She made my husband and me feel incredible and we didn’t have to worry about anything or stress on our entire wedding weekend.
Christine was absolutely amazing in every way possible! We hired Christine and her team for our September 2023 wedding, and it was hands down the best and most crucial decision we ...
made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Whenever I was starting to worry about any little detail, Christine had already thought of it and had a plan for execution. Through the several in person and virtual meetings, the design process and final preparation, up to the wedding day, I was always so at ease. I was able to find calmness in any stressful situation, thanks to her. My family, husband and I worked with Christine for a little over a year prior to our wedding and we always felt like we were Christine’s top priority. She not only was able to keep within our budget restraints, but her vision and ability to execute was truly unmatched. She showed so much compassion and patience, and it was truly a blessing to have her not only as our planner, but as a friend, by our side for this whirlwind of an adventure. She was able to overcome any obstacle that was thrown her/our way on the wedding day and I’m forever grateful for that. If you are contemplating hiring Christine, don’t waste anymore time and hire her and her team immediately, you will NOT regret it.
Christine made our wedding dreams come true! She truly thought of every single detail and helped us plan our dream day. Christine also helped us with the design of our wedding and ...
it came out sensational. On the day of our wedding, Christine brought her team to help and they were lovely. The day was so smooth, we cannot imagine it going any better. We were worry-free and in the moment which is exactly what we wanted. We can't recommend CME enough!
It was such a pleasure working with CME to plan our wedding. Christine's expertise was evident through each phase of the process - from crafting our initial design boards to select...

If you read nothing else in this review, please read this one sentence: Work with the incredible Christine McFarlane Events for your wedding!
From the initial phone call, we knew ...
Christine was the perfect fit for planning our perfect day. Every step of the way she delivered, communicated, added value, and put our minds at ease.
To start, we shared maybe 6 images max. as inspiration for design and she created the day of our dreams from just that! Then, Christine helped keep us on track with planning and decision making by providing frequent check-ins, timelines, and a checklist of to-dos.
On the wedding day, Christine and her team (Mack and Jess!) were on top of every detail, not one thing out of place (seriously!). Both our guests and us deeply appreciated their kindness, organization, and helping hands during every moment — from getting ready to post-reception. We are so thankful to CME for making our wedding day so special!
How do I even put into words how amazing Christine and her team are? Hiring Christine was the best investment we made for our wedding.
Christine was an absolute dream to work wit...
h, from start to finish she made the wedding planning journey so much less stressful. I am a type A, anxious bride and former planner myself, ensuring we had the right planner was top priority. After our initial consultation we knew CME was the right fit. Christine made sure I felt prepared and calm throughout the entire process. Christine was always 5 steps ahead and a solution for everything - which spoiler alert every solution and idea was perfect.
We cannot recommend her or her team enough. She executed our vision perfectly, and exceeded our expectations.
Christine was the very best investment we have ever made, we highly recommend hiring her for the ‘full planning package’. Our wedding was executed flawlessly and her team went above and beyond what was expected of them. Our guests have told us over and over that our wedding was one the most beautiful weddings they have ever attended and every detail was thought of, that was all the CME team. Our friends and family also commented on how well of a job they did on the day of, everything was taken care of and we cannot thank her team enough. 1000/10 experience, you will not regret investing in the CME experience.
Christine was an absolute dream to work with. I could not recommend her or her team any more highly. She was beyond organized, executed our vision perfectly, and did it all while k...
eeping within the budget restraints that were given to her. We felt prepared at every stage of the wedding planning process, and also very calm: if there were any problems along the way we were not aware of them, and if something did arise Christine already had a solution, and it was a great one; on theme and in budget.
Christine was the very best investment I have ever made, I highly recommend hiring her for the ‘full planning package’. She exceeded our expectations, executed flawlessly and went above and beyond what was outlined in our contract. 100/10 experience. I wish we could do it again, only so we could spend more time with her and utilize her services more.
We cannot imagine our wedding day without Christine and her wonderful team! From the first meeting with Christine to the last minutes of our wedding, she was always beyond kind, ma...
de us feel relaxed, and was very professional. Family and friends kept asking us why we were so stress free, and it is truly because of Christine. Every single design detail was thought of, the timeline she provided was throughly detailed for us and other vendors, and even made sure that it would stay on track! If something went wrong, we didn’t know about it! We have friends and family who are already asking us for her contact information, so we know they even noticed how amazing and incredible her work is. I know we will see her and her beautiful team again!
Spoiler alert - don’t think twice about hiring a wedding planner. They are the best investment you will make from the planning stages to the day of your wedding. Christine and her ...
team create absolute magic. CME truly pulled every aspect of what we wanted out of our day and made it a reality. She just got us – she completely understood and helped tie together the look we were going for. Having previously been in the wedding industry myself, we had a solid vendor team already on board. Christine had no problem collaborating with the vendors we had already booked and worked closely with them to ensure the overall design was communicated clearly and executed flawlessly. The combination of white elements, mixed with subtle neutral hues, and monochromatic design came together so perfectly. They came up with things I couldn't have even imagined. From planning the timeline, vendor communication, to overall design and the mood that they created, I’m so thankful we had the privilege of working with them for our wedding. On the day of our wedding, there were literally ZERO issues and our guests still rave about how it was the most beautiful and nicest weddings they’ve ever been to. Everything was picture perfect, and we owe it all to CME!
Christine and her team were our favorite vendor of our wedding day! She helped us create the wedding of our dreams and was there every step of the way to help with our many questio...

Christine and her team are absolutely amazing! We selected the event management package for our big day and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Christine was ...
so attentive and made us feel at ease in the midst of so many moving parts. Our lead coordinator Allie was truly fantastic and everything went so smoothly on the wedding day! Allie made sure we had everything we needed and everything was on schedule. Everyone needs Allie at their wedding! We are so grateful for the expertise Christine and Allie provided-- it was a truly magical and amazing day thanks to their coordination!!!
Christine is the absolute best- she did an incredible job and I was so lucky to have her as our wedding planner. She was genuinely and authentically sweet, patient, helpful, respon...
sive and beyond accommodating towards us since we started this process. Her professionalism towards everything and every vendor we met with was top notch- she was polite, well spoken and extremely knowledgeable. She really listened to our ideas and goals, and recommended fantastic vendors to help bring "our vision" to life. You could tell that Christine studied every detail and did her homework planning for our big day- she left no stone unturned. I trusted her 1000% and was not disappointed. We could not have done it without her, and are so grateful to have found her. Truly a gem!!!
From start to finish Christine and her team were AMAZING. There were so many times that we leaned on them for help and they were always there with quick responses and full support....
Our wedding day was beautifully curated and it felt like a fairytale! The day went so smoothly all because of the hard and talented work of the Christine McFarlane Events team.

If you are looking for a trustworthy, talented, friendly, and professional wedding planner then this is the wedding planner for you. I could go on for days of how amazing they are and I can assure you that you wont regret hiring Christine McFarlane!
Simply put, our wedding would not have been possible without Christine and her team. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without their input and expertise. From our initial phone c...
all, to our design board meeting, to every frantic email along the way, Christine’s calm demeanor put us at ease throughout the planning process. Her tips and suggestions made us feel confident about the logistics of our wedding day and she was easily able to pivot when any changes were thrown our way. During our rehearsal, our wedding party loved how easily we were able to walk through the ceremony with Christine’s help. On the day of our wedding, Christine and MacKenzie made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Many of our guests complimented their hard work, and our photographers were so impressed with their execution. We would recommend Christine and her team in a heartbeat to anyone who is planning a wedding!
Christine was my wedding fairy godmother. First of all, she kept me sane and provided expert advice in the months leading up to my wedding. Then she went above and beyond to bring ...
together a dream team - so much gratitude for CME's Allie and MacKenzie as well - to take care of our destination wedding weekend.
The team flawlessly prepared for and handled the logistics of our big busy wedding day. I'm talking 21 wedding party members, rehearsed the day before under their direction and coordination, and on the day of - having all of our friends and family in position for group portraits on the DOT to keep the schedule moving. I'm talking helping me keep track of details shipped from another state. I'm talking last minute candle votives! I'm talking... helping me add a last minute surprise musical performance for my husband to the timeline, like the week before!
I always knew Christine and I were on the same page at any given moment. She stayed true to everything that mattered to me and my husband, and made it so we didn't have to lift a finger on wedding day. I heard from my family and friends numerous times, throughout the wedding and after, of the things Christine and her team were doing to keep a pulse on every aspect of the day, and to truly coordinate every minute of it.
This team of amazing women were timely, focused, skilled, kind, somehow everywhere at once, and absolute experts at what they do. Magic. I can't thank Christine and the team enough. You need to hire Christine to make your wedding dreams come true!
Christine and the CME team did and AMAZING job and went above and beyond for our wedding day. To begin with, she was the only planner who offered the package that served our needs ...
and very affordably, which was design services and day of. From the beginning of the process through the end, Christine helped us through every step and decision flawlessly. On the big day, there were multiple points throughout the day where I was so impressed by the calmness of the team, their ability to always be where you needed them when you needed them and their overall attention to every single detail. I even had our photographer say how proactive and hard working they were. The were always one step ahead and addressed every need, which made the day run flawlessly and allowed us to relax and enjoy the fun. It truly was better than we could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone!
Christine and the CME team gave us the most perfect wedding day, and we can’t recommend them enough! We went into our initial phone call with only a general idea of what we wanted ...
for our wedding, and Christine took our vision and crafted a design plan that was everything we wanted with every detail considered. She gave us an easy roadmap to follow for selecting vendors and decor that would bring the design to life. She was available to us every step of the way with reminders and check ins to keep us on track. Throughout the planning process Christine was highly organized and on top of every detail while remaining so easygoing, which reduced a lot of our stress. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Christine coordinated with all of our vendors so that we didn’t have to worry about any logistical details. The day of the wedding Christine and her team were there to help with every detail no matter how small, and went above and beyond to keep the day running smoothly. Our friends and family raved about how helpful and pleasant the CME team was throughout the wedding day. We could not have pulled off such an amazing day without Christine!

Christine and team popped into my Instagram "discovery" page at the right moment. We had just postponed our 2020 wedding to 2021 and I was feeling so lost! After the first conversa...
tion with Christine I knew we needed her and her team to be our month of coordinator!
Christine immediately understood that while our big ticket items were done, but that the fine details were just as important. She was always there with tips, recommendations, suggestions, etc. She promptly answered emails and was instrumental in our day of timeline and gave me a sense of ease which does not come to many brides. Christine and Emily (and team) made our day as smooth as I could ever imagine!
Our vendors, parents, and guests could not stop saying how smoothly everything ran (even after we learned that uber could not find the right drop off spot). I can honestly say that our day was the best day ever and most of that is because of how CME handled everything and I got to truly be in the moment and enjoy the day
Just don’t get married without Christine there, that’s my biggest wedding planning tip. She is on top of everything, her team is amazing and she made the day of so calm and smooth,...
I can’t gosh enough about her. Both my parents, spouse and I agree that we didn’t pay her enough for all she did for us to make our wedding more fun and meaningful than I could have imagined.
Christine and her team are THE BEST OF THE BEST, hands down! We hired Christine for a partial planning package but I felt like we had a full-time planner because she went so above ...
and beyond. At our first meeting (15 months before our wedding) Christine set us up with all of the tools we needed to plan, checked in with us every single month leading up to our wedding to ensure that we were on track, and answered all of our calls/texts/emails whenever we needed her.
From the moment of our first call, Christine felt like a friend and someone I could trust, not to mention I knew she understood our vision and what we were trying to achieve. When I doubted myself or our ideas, Christine pushed us in the most gracious and supportive way encouraging us to “go for it” and thank god she did because our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams.
Christine is everything you want in a planner – she’s cool, calm and collective, extremely organized, has a great eye for style and design, and most importantly she anticipates all of your needs and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. She also has an incredible reputation – every vendor we reached out to (even those that we found on our own) RAVED about Christine and her team. She’s truly an expert in this field and we couldn’t be more thankful that we had her as part of our team.
WE LOVE YOU CHRISTINE!
I hired CME for partial planning of my 200 person wedding. My only regret is not hiring them for full. I am a very detail oriented yet indecisive person. I had a general idea of wh...
at I liked design wise but no idea how to articulate it nor bring it to life. After a phone consult with Christine she was able to create a cohesive, unique, romantic and beautiful wedding design. Through out the entire process Christine was available to advise me, to make recommendations, and to calm me. She went above and beyond what she was hired for - helping me choose between other vendors, choose my dress, and even driving 2 plus hours to come to the appointment with me to choose linens and tableware. On the day of, she and her team worked seamlessly. They were able to keep everything on track despite having a hiccup with transportation in the beginning of the night (a hiccup which they quickly and calmly helped us navigate). They also worked wonderfully with the other vendor teams. After seeing me go through the wedding process and witnessing CME in action my recently engaged friend also hired her. I truly can not say enough nice things about Christine and her team. I am so incredibly grateful to them all. My wedding was the best day of my life and I owe it to Christine McFarlane Events and her incredible team.
I used Christine McFarlane as my day of coordinator for my wedding on 9/18/21. Christine was amazing from the start and throughout the whole process. She answered any questions I h...

I highly recommend Christine for anyone considering or looking for a wedding planner! Thank you so much Christine

We hired Christine and her time to do month of/day of planning for our wedding in Kent Island, MD. When the inevitable happened and we postponed for a year due to the pandemic, we...

More importantly, they treated our event like we were celebrities! From bandaids & decor to seamlessly handling both big and small mishaps on wedding day, Christine, Caitlin and Carmen made sure we were completely cared for at every second.

r organization, expertise, and knowledge of running wedding events is top notch. Christine even last minute sewed new beads on my dress and caught a run away flower girl during our procession! I would use Christine McFarland events a million times again ♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌
YOU MUST HAVE CHRISTINE AS YOUR PLANNER!
Christine has an amazing ability to take all pieces of any vision you have and make everything cohesive. Her creativity is absolutely un-m...
atched! No idea is “impossible” to bring to life with Christine. I was the type of bride who would often ask Christine for her thoughts and opinions on many details I might not have confidently executed on my own. It was like talking with a friend who would do anything for you and support you! She was immediately in tune with our vibe and could essentially read our minds after some time throughout the whole planning process! She was the exact energy that my husband and I needed through postponing our wedding due to Covid. Christine went above and beyond and we are forever grateful.
Christine and her team are truly the “calm within the storm” during wedding day. They will check in on you while also being the powerhouse behind the scenes making everything move seamlessly. Christine is absolutely not afraid to take charge and support you at all times throughout the wedding day (and process). She is in your corner and would be right by your side whenever you’d need her. She was the reassuring face we would look to that kept me and my husband grounded and present during our eventful and extremely detailed day. Words cannot describe how amazing that made us feel, especially when there is so much “buzz” circulating around you during the wedding.
It was truly amazing to watch Christine and her team work with other vendors so effortlessly, as if they had been a well-oiled machine for years. We were in complete awe watching them move behind the scenes. Her team did not stop hustling in the extreme August heat! They helped guests navigate our beer tasting escort wall, pumped up the dance floor, made sure we were well-fed (and had drinks!), and took care of all of the clean-up post wedding so that it was not even a thought.
We will ABSOLUTELY recommend Christine to anyone and everyone! It would be hard to believe that there is anyone that can do it any better.
Truly forever grateful!
Where do I even begin? Christine and her team were INCREDIBLE. They were so organized and made sure everything went smoothly. During the ceremony, my strap broke. Christine and her...
team came to the rescue and fixed it. I truly don’t know what I would have done without them there. I cannot say enough good things about this crew. Thank you again for making our special day amazing!
Christine, Emily and her team could not have been a better choice to hire for our wedding. Throughout the planning process her team and herself were responsive, helpful and went ou...
t of the way to make sure our day went perfectly. During our ceremony my wife's dress broke and Christine came to the rescue with a sewing kit and saved the day. Best decision we ever made to hire them and I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone.
Christine and Emily were my coordinators for my wedding in May 2021 and they were absolutely amazing! I talked to so many event planners trying to find someone in my budget who I f...
elt would fit my needs, and they hit every mark. When I hired them, Christine sent an amazing wedding timeline checklist so I knew when to do what, and kept me organized. She e-mailed me every month making sure I was getting everything done! Even though I only hired them for coordination and not event planning, Christine was more than happy to answer any questions I had about decor or logistics. On the actual wedding day everything ran very smoothly- if anything went wrong, I didn't know about it! I would highly recommend them for your wedding planners!
Christine and her team were literally the best! She made our two year engagement through covid a breeze. The wedding day occurred without a hitch. Not one single problem that I ...
was ever aware of. She worked so well with all of our vendors and I was able to focus on the moment & not worry about a thing. She made the wedding of our dreams come to life and I couldn’t have envisioned anything better. I 10/10 recommend Christine for your event!
There’s a reason Christine comes so highly recommended. We had to completely re-plan our wedding in about 5 and a half months after covid forced our original venue to close, and Ch...
ristine and her team delivered beyond our wildest expectations. From coordinating all of our vendors, to guiding us through the rehearsal, to making our dream reception a reality, and even dealing with the inevitable issues that pop up on the day of the wedding, Christine handled everything flawlessly. She put us at complete ease in the chaos. There is no one you want in your corner more than her! We highly recommend Christine McFarlane Events for your big day, you won’t regret it!
I cannot say enough about our experience with CME. The whole process - from planning to post - was extremely seamless. Christine has to be a mind reader, as she was able to put my ...
jumbled thoughts and ideas down on a vision board perfectly and brought it to life. COVID presented a lot of challenges like our guest count fluctuating just weeks before the big day, and CME was there for us during our tough conversations, re-routing to Plan B (or C, D, etc.) and then routing back to Plan A. The day of was amazing - Emily, Carmen and Mackenzie were so incredibly helpful to not only us but our wedding party and our family. They never seemed to get in the way but were always there when we needed them. A truly perfect addition to our wedding planning process.
Christine and her team were my saving grace during the entire wedding process. Being a COVID bride, we made lots of date changes, venue changes, everything. Christine and Allie we...
re always a text or call away and knew what I needed before I did. They are hands down the best part of a wedding vendor team, and I can’t imagine a day that didn’t have them in it.
We can't say enough about how amazing CME is. Christine and her team are the greatest of all time! From planning, organizing, communicating, and executing the details of our weddin...
g (big and little), Christine exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She is thoughtful, thorough, and professional - we felt at ease and taken care of throughout the entire process knowing Christine was ON IT! Truly and sincerely contracting with CME was the best decision we made and a HUGE reason our day was so great.
I don’t even know where to start with this review! CME BLEW US AWAY! Michael and I got engaged just before Covid struck...we began eagerly planning our wedding in Jan 2020 for just...
6 short months from the day we got engaged. I instantly turned to CME without hesitation- best move we ever did. Mid March came and so did the pandemic...every couples nightmare. Christine & her team stayed calm, positive and reassured Michael and I that no matter what, everything would be OK. We continued planning in hopes the pandemic would subside before our July wedding but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. CME were rockstars with picking up our perfectly planned wedding, and moving it to April 2021. Christine & her team were very responsive to emails, texts and many many phone calls on our year long journey of planning; I never once felt like a burden. CME was genuinely looking out for our best interest and you could clearly see that on our special day. They took our vision and brought it to life perfectly! If there were any hiccups on our wedding day, Michael and I have yet to know about them! We cannot thank Christine, Megan, Andy and the rest of the CME team enough for all that they have done. We highly recommend them!!
