Christine Paul Events, Inc.

n concept in my mind, I did not know where to find the right people to bring my ideas to life. After endless hours Googling and Pinteresting to no avail, I reached out to Christine. With very minimal descriptions on my part, and even when I couldn't fully articulate what I was seeing in my mind, Christine was totally on my wavelength and readily had a list of people to see and vendors to try. In what seemed like a matter of minutes, she had given me what I could not find myself after searching for hours: -Perfect photographers ("Candid! not too posed!", I insisted), -Talented florists ("Classic! sophisticated! elegant!", I requested), -Great bands ("I want everyone having a fantastic time! The band has to have that energy that makes everyone want to dance!", I declared), -Hair and makeup ("I don't want the kind of bridal makeup that makes me look like a '90s pageant contestant, I want to look glamorous, timeless and classic. And no sausage curls!" I emphasized), -Beautiful invitations ("Something classic, modern, but different!", I mused), And I could go on! Christine had a perfect answer for every last one of my (endless!) questions. The truth is, if you want the best, you have to go to the best. And Christine is, quite simply, the best. For the most discerning bride, there is no one else I could possibly recommend. If you've been to Christine you'll know exactly what I mean. If you haven't, you absolutely must meet with her: she'll help you create something beautiful and you'll have so much fun in the process. Happy planning!

urpassed my expectations. My wedding was absolutely breathtaking. Christine is a pleasure to work with, has years of experience, and knows exactly how to create what her bride wants. I would highly recommend her to any bride!

! We had an initial Skype meeting and I was sold. She is so fantastic in everyway! The time difference can be difficult but Christine always made time to email or Skype when it worked best for us. Throughout the process she made it so easy breaking each wedding element down into peices to make it more manageable for someone like me who didnt know exactly what they wanted and is very indicisive. Christine is a breath of fresh air, she is so down to earth and can handle any challenge thrown her way with ease. My husband and I married on the 16th of August 2014 and I can honestly say it was the best day of our lives. Weddings are meant to be stressful, I thought at least, but Christine takes all that away and makes it all feel like a dream come true. Christine only recommends professional company's who will go above and beyond for you. Thanks to Christine every element was better than perfect. Our guests were amazed they are still talking about it and its nearly November. It was an unforgettable beautiful day for everyone. Christine made it the perfect day to start the rest of our lives together. Thank you Christine you are a superstar!

!!! Perfect!

lanner! We had a major event a few month ago in Greenwich CT which Christine handled for us. It took several twists and turns when management replaced their entire restaurant staff three weeks before the event. New plans were agreed upon literally 5 days before the event. With Christine leading the way, everything was re-worked to perfection: the event was going to be even better than originally planned. On the morning of the event, unbeknownst to my wife and I, there was a falling out with management and the new restaurant staff where they were abruptly parting ways: immediately after our event! So the situation six hours before the party is as follows: the Chef and staff making our party are disgruntled employees on the job for the last day – and by the way, they are making our once in a lifetime party!!. Time to hit the panic button? Maybe for most mortals but Christine literally “took over’. She was intelligent enough not to tell us what was happening during the day so we could enjoy our event before the party. That was a stroke of genius. While we were happily celebrating elseware, Christine was filling in for missing staff and bringing in some extras to literally help set up and prepare for the evening (None of this was her job but with the restaurant falling apart, their staff just disappeared). I don’t know how she accomplished everything she did in such a short tiem under such adverse conditions. When we showed up Christine informed us the Chef and staff had quit, would finish our event but was leaving immediately after the party. She then said, “I took care of everything and the party is going to be great. Say what? It took a few minutes to process what she said, but I looked around and everything seemed to be going as planned….and it stayed that way through the entire evening. With a short staff, an “on the way out chef” and a malaise that ran through the kitchen, somehow Christine was not only able to hold it all together, but literally produced what everyone agreed, “was one of the best parties they have ever been to”. No one could believe what happened when I told them! To this day I don’t know how she pulled it all together under the circumstances, but somehow, she ducked into a phone boot, put on her superwoman outfit and saved the day. Thank You Christine!

rched details, identified vendors when we needed inspiration, and followed through on all details to save me time! Although it took a bit of time for Christine and I to figure out each others work and communication styles, Christine was always available when I needed her. What I also appreciated about Christine was that she was flexible and would adapt her approach and focus to meet me where I was - whether I was relaxed and feeling good about the process or getting concerned about a deadline or decision; she adapted to best support me. I had confidence in Christine that she would attend to all details, immediately know if something was wrong and fix it. As a result, my husband, family and I were able to truly enjoy our entire wedding celebration without a worry! Christine was great to work with and she is a thorough, attentive, and reliable wedding planner - I would definitely recommend her to my friends. Thanks Christine for all of your help and guidance!

tion was lovely, but paled in comparison to the how she staged the wedding ceremony itself, which was just breath taking. Everyone’s attention was focused on the blissful couple as they exchanged their vows surrounded by family and friends. The dinner (also great) was followed by an after party which incorporated dancing, cake cutting and dessert. The room (same as the ceremony) was transformed into a very cool lounge and dance floor which kept everyone happy, full and dancing for the remainder of the night. It was one of my most favorite wedding ever. Thank you!

tic process run smoothly. She was always responded to emails almost immediately. Like most couples getting married, we had a budget and Christine did a great job at negotiating with vendors to ensure we stayed within our budget. We were very satisfied with her services and would recommend her to our closest friends and family without hesitation.

to chance. Every detail was immaculately cared for and the wedding seamlessly came together with her expertise. Christine is also a fun person, in love with life and truly dedicated to her profession. I highly recommend her.

y daughter had chosen a wedding planner that was not from our area but it really was not an issue. She worked well with our event designer. She offered choices but left the decisions to us. She negotiated vendor discounts on our behalf. Christine was a pleasure to work with and has my highest recommendation.

Converse which looked really cool when my groomsmen wore them at the reception. The pictures with the Converse came out really great.

eans lots of opinions with a fair amount of drama. In comes Christine Paul to the rescue! From the very beginning my husband and I knew that we made the right choice. Christine was organized, proactive, knowledgable, and most importantly, understood the dynamics of my (often high maintenance) Indian family. Despite living in NYC for 10+ years, I wanted to have my wedding in my hometown of Philadelphia. Christine scouted the perfect location. She worked with the vendors diligently ensuring that I got the New York style reception I was looking for but in Philly. The end result was a truly fabulous, fun and beautiful wedding. If you are looking to have a wedding that has a lot of elements to it (i.e. multi-day, multi-ethnic, complicated ceremony), Christine Paul is the one to go to! 5+ Stars!!

h and sensitive to our individual likes and dislikes She is more than willing to work with our budget and get the most out of it. She will go above and beyond to make all of us involved comfortable with the planning process. I honestly don't think we could have picked a better planner and I am certain we will be friends long after the wedding. Simply the best!

My (almost) husband and I work in creative industries and are used to directing major projects. But, we quickly found it impossible to navigate all of the possibilities for getting married in NYC. Christine helped us to plan the most unique and thoughtful wedding weekend that is completely us. We are forever grateful!

n industry full of people constantly shouting that they can give you "the best", I can honestly say that she really is "the best". I highly recommend Christine to any bride. She will do everything possible to ensure your vision comes to life, all while working within your budget and planning style. She truly is top notch and it's no wonder she's been rated one of the top wedding planners in NYC!!!

edding (thanks to Christine) are moving right along flawlessly! My husband and I are so grateful to Christine Paul. Our daughter will have her dream wedding. Thanks Christine!!! You are awesome!!!!!!

ith. My friends who have hired her cannot stop raving about her!

every step of the way and guided us with her expertise. We loved her so much, we used her again for our son's first bday.

positive energy, relatable personality, and experience in event planning. From my husband's perspective, CPE charged the best rate and provided the most comprehensive event planning service. In terms of logistics, Christine orchestrated everything for our wedding weekend! Deliveries, transportation, communication with vendors, etc.... she did it all. If something went wrong, we didn't know about it! I never had to worry about how/when/where. She's also always lightning quick when responding to emails or phone calls. Christine also has great relationships with some of the best wedding vendors in the business, and I am sure we have benefited from those relationships. Because of the great job she did, we worked with Christine again... About 6 months after we were married we started planning our son's circus themed first birthday! It is always a pleasure working with such a talented individual. Our family will continue planning and celebrating our big moments with her for years to come!

ence that will never be forgotten. She is also planning wedding and i cannot imagine doing this without her.

the job done with elegance and grace. She is mindful of the budgets provided by her clients, is an excellent resource for her clients and intervenes on her client’s behalf to make sure their event is exactly what they envisioned. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and vendor relationships are bar none. Execution of her client’s events is meticulous, thoughtful, on budget and stress free. Christine Paul Events is an excellent choice when planning any event in New York City or beyond.

anning our wedding. From the very beginning she helped us find our vision and then executed it beyond what we ever could have imagined. She is flawless not only in her planing and organizational skills, but with problem solving and remaining perfectly calm through it all. If ever I had any feelings of anxiety she was there to calm my nerves. Through out the process of planning the engagement party and our upcoming wedding she has introduced us to the most fantastic vendors that we never would have been able to seek out on our own. She is great at reading people and truly gets to know you in order to match you with vendors who will suit you and your personal style. This saved us so much time not having to go from vendor to vendor in order to find our perfect "match". Most importantly, the party went off without a hitch! Our family and friends had a fabulous time. For weeks we were told this was the best party our guests had ever been too, all thanks to Christine! I cannot express how much I appreciate everything she did for us to make this night truly magical. If you are in the market for a wedding planner, look no further, Christine Paul is the best there is!! We are looking forward to our wedding as we know that it will be nothing short of spectacular with Christine on our side!

was an amazing task, since both our familes live out of town. Thank you for everything!

our special day and to make sure everything went according to plan. We were was completely blown away by her level of attention and detail she provided us. From concept to initiation she provided us with a level of service and attention that was unparalleled. We were extremely pleased and would highly recommend Christine Paul Events to anyone looking to plan a wedding or any event!

emonies, all in a city she had not worked in before. The events were seamless and amazing, and we were able to just enjoy the events while she worked her magic behind the scenes.

t we were in good hands. On the wedding day, she allowed me enjoy myself and relax. Her team worked seamlessly with the vendors and I was completely removed from all of the logistics. Most importantly, there was never a moment where my husband and I felt that things were not under control. She eased our minds and allowed us to enjoy to each other and our family and friends. Thanks to Christine Paul Events we had the wedding of our dreams!

there would be a lot of coordination of the various vendors, our wedding party, transportation, relatives, etc. and we wanted someone reliable to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy this wonderful day in our lives. From the very first time we spoke with Christine, we knew we need not look further. She was calming, reassuring and right off the bat had several great suggestions to save us time, money and headaches. And she did SO much more than just assist on the wedding day. From the very beginning she walked through every detail of our vision and gave us such thoughtful and creative advice. She's such a pro and has excellent taste and style, so we immediately felt comfortable relying on her recommendations. Whenever we got stressed or were agonizing over a decision, we turned to Christine and she would help us quickly and easily work it all out in her friendly, calm way. She gave us so many wise suggestions that never even occurred to us! She is part event planner, part therapist, part friend, and while her organization and professionalism kept everything on track, her warmth and sense of humor put us at ease and kept us from getting overwhlemed. In the end, Christine and her team helped us achieve our dream wedding. We had an absolutely spectacular day and were so appreciative of all the guidance, advice and planning she put into our day. Thank you Christine!!

artist that executes seamlessly with a keen eye on detail. She introduced us to the best vendors to transform the bride and grooms vision into reality. In this category she hit the ball out of the park from the amazing venue, outstanding band and incredible event designer, just to name a few. Christine and her staff were in total control and executed our daughter’s wedding flawlessly. We are eternally grateful to the amount of time and consideration Christine and her staff gave to our children and our guests. She also provided us the “calm” when we desperately needed it. We placed our faith in Christine Paul and she exceeded our expectations in creating a lasting memory.

talent for what she does is unparalleled, she makes it her mission to really get to know and understand you as both individuals and as a couple. Christine takes genuine care to ensure that everything from timelines and meetings to the creative details reflect you as a couple and the things you love. What I loved most was that with Christine it was not about what was or was not part of a planner's job description, she took the wedding on as her own and went to any length to make it the best experience, and not once did she ever say that certain things weren't technically included, she just did what it took to blow it all out of the water, and it is those little things that you can't put a price-tag on. I couldn't recommend a more incredible person,she took all our highest expectations and exceeded them. Amanda Russell, MBA CPT Founder of www.thearfitplan.com Host of AmandaRussell.TV

re than up to the task. She is detail-oriented, responsive, and intuitive. She took the time to understand us and the vibe we wanted for our wedding, and the whole process was shockingly smooth. She chose vendors that were great fits for us, and made sure that each one was prepped with information about our logistics and budget before meeting with them. Nearly all of our meetings was seamless, and we ended up going with her first choice for nearly every vendor she recommended (venue, caterer, DJ, musicians, florist). She is also a great negotiator, who saved us a significant amount of money throughout the process (while never sacrificing the important parts). Her attention to detail is impressive, making sure that the day of our wedding went off flawlessly and anticipating and mitigating the inevitable last-minute curveballs. Also---while this isn't necessarily part of the wedding planner job description---Christine gives excellent advice and has a great sense of humor; she's the perfect person to have around while navigating the myriad stresses associated with the wedding-planning process. Overall, we were thrilled with Christine. She created a wedding that was very "us," while ensuring that all of our guests (and even we) had a great time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any wedding or event.

aul was far above the rest. To be honest, there are so many planners out there who just happened to be in this line of work by chance. The important thing is to hire someone who you click with but that also has experience and who sees this as a business not a hobby. What convinced us was that Christine has several years experience planning events (not just weddings), and started out doing large scale corporate events. Her experience is very valuable and she is uber professional as we could tell with her dealings and contacts in the industry. She was able to get us in the door with top vendors who were fully booked! Her service level is top notch. Many other planners will give you only a certain amount of meetings or calls as part of the deal, but Christine went far beyond. She has her eyes on the bigger picture, creating your perfect wedding and will not limit your interaction with her. She was available whenever I needed her which was a pure relief. She is calm and collected and with her team she has every detail under control. Christine is a joy to work with. To top it off, she is a visionary. She was able to take the few cue words I gave her and create an entire vision for the wedding theme and atmosphere. She was so creative and flexible throughout our planning process and in the end we got an amazing wedding. On the day she was in total control of every detail and I was not worried about a single thing. I highly recommend Christine Paul Events. With Christine you can let the stress of planning off your shoulders and actually enjoy the process!

pany and knew she was the person I needed for our special day. What I loved most about working with Christine is that she really got to know my fiancé and I. She expressed the importance of the wedding being all about us and is determined to make us completely happy with our event. From the several examples I saw of other CPE weddings, I could tell they style each individual affair to fit the couple perfectly. My fiancé and I moved to Switzerland in May (right in the middle of planning) and Christine made me feel like we never left New York. I couldn’t imagine being able to accomplish what we did while being overseas. Out wedding is planned for December 2012 in New Jersey and I have complete peace of mind that everything will turn out beautifully. I highly recommend CPE if you’re looking for a trustworthy wedding planner with exciting and innovative ideas!!!

istine really listened to her needs, then planned and executed accordingly. Christine is such a wonderful and caring individual, with incredible class and taste. Although there was so much work involved in the planning and execution of the wedding, Christine never showed frustration, stress or worry. I have so much admiration for her work ethics and style.

ur weeding in NYC….with the internet these days I thought that planning our wedding sola would be a piece of (wedding) cake….little did I know!!! I struggled for about 3 months trying to plan it myself. I ended up thinking that I would need to have someone on the ground in NYC to help me plan the big day and after a little searching I found Christine Paul Events….AND thank the lord I did! I cannot express just how wonderful and at ease Christine made us feel right from the get go. She walked us through ever step, sent photos, videos and made regular calls to us to keep us in the loop. The day before our wedding she took us to our ceremony location, reception location and gave us our run sheet of how the big day would play out the following day. In the taxi on the day before the wedding going from reception location to ceremony location Christine turned to us and said “Anything you think of tomorrow, anything you think needs doing…..Just know….I have it covered”…..these few words to an anxious bride were the best words that could have been spoken to me. And to top it off….she wasn’t lying….our day was seamless, magical and everything we could have ever hoped it to be. Christine is a class act and our day mirrored this…..! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. THANK YOU.

mazing, I looked amazing! She know all the best vendors, and can get you best people! Hire her! She made all my planning stressfree! I spent all my time with my now husband, and CPE handled all the details (even my mother in monster..I mean law...liked Chriistine,,and well, honestly she likes noone). So I promise you, stop wasting your time shopping around, and hire Christine!

your wedding day amazing. She knows that every detail is important and how much this day means to you. She's dependable, organized, creative, and collaborative. She listens to your needs and guides you through the process effortlessly. She was our FAVORITE vendor - the one we knew we never needed to worry about since she was always 2 steps ahead at all times. She was definitely our peace of mind on our wedding day - knowing she was putting everything together - we knew we would walk into a spectacular venue without overlooking any details. My husband and I would often say "if Christine's involved, we're fine." We were in great hands - we LOVE her!!! And her amazing staff.

uctantly agreed to meet with Christine. From the first minute of our first meeting, Christine and I clicked and I knew I wanted to work with her. She is incredibly organized, professional, knowledgeable, savvy and efficient. We booked all of the vendors for our wedding ourselves and then a month before the wedding, we handed everything over to Christine. She was available and accessible to us whenever we needed her - she is incredibly responsive and proactive. She organized our entire wedding weekend - from the rehearsal dinner for 150 people in New York City to our wedding in New Jersey (which involved Christine and her staff coordinating the transportation of 120 out-of-town guests). Everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned, thanks to Christine! My husband and our families were able to relax and enjoy our wedding weekend without a worry. Christine took charge and was our advocate throughout the entire process and wedding weekend. We cannot thank Christine enough for how incredibly she executed our wedding weekend. I highly recommend Christine Paul to any bride, she is the best!

thought that we could plan it better than anyone else--it was our wedding, after all! We begun the planning process, but a few months into it, we realized that we needed help, lots of help. Our vision was so unique that we worried it couldn't be done. We had our venue. We had our photographers. And, that's about it! The wedding was four months away at that point, and we had ideas in abundance but lacked the time and resources to execute them. That's when my friend referred me to Christine. In spite of our resistance to hire a wedding planner, my husband and I met with Christine at Starbucks to discuss our plans. By the time we left, I no longer felt anxious; all of my worries had completely vanished, as Christine went over every detail with us, generously offering her expert advice and encouraging our vision, which she immediately understood and embraced. By the time we left, we felt so uplifted and inspired--we knew that with Christine's help, we would be able to pull off the wedding of our dreams! I honestly don't know how we would have done it without Christine Paul Events. They met every challenge (and we had a LOT of challenges) with enthusiasm, and they never stopped supporting us, even when the going got tough. For instance, we had planned to have our wedding reception on the rooftop of an old warehouse in Bushwick, Brooklyn. We were counting on good weather. Christine presented us with back-up rain plans, but we could not let go of our vision. It was going to be on that rooftop, no matter what! That weekend, the temperatures plummeted and thick gray clouds moved in to stay--it was cold and drizzly, and the rooftop was out of the question. Christine rallied the wedding vendors, and they collaborated to turn the small indoor area of the warehouse into an amazing space that delighted and surprised everyone, including us! Even though the reception didn't happen on the rooftop, it still achieved our vision, and most importantly, we all had a spectacular, unforgettable night. Thank you, Christine. We heart you and your team!! Xoxo, Brittney (and Tony)

unforgettable and special moments!

free environment. Her team promptly and energetically responded to every email or phone call we had, met with us several times to update on progress, attended the final dress fitting, advised at our final wedding venue walk-through in addition to coordinating/confirming with all our vendors the week prior to our actual wedding day. They also helped create our “day of” schedule and confirmed all of the vendors were present and up-to-speed regarding the schedule during our Big Day. Christine and her team are true professionals and their attention to detail is unsurpassed, including ensuring delivery of the dress and helping both parties get ready. We really don't know what we would've done without Christine Paul. She truly made our lives leading up to the big day manageable and relaxed. We would recommend Christine Paul to anyone and everyone. They were extraordinary! Thank you Christine for everything!

We were planning a New York wedding from London and she could not have made us feel more assured. She took control of the events of the day and made us feel comfortable at all times. Not only did she manage our vision throughout the planning process but she also provided us useful advice. Above that, everything on the wedding day just fitted together. She was there for us at all times (we had 3 events on 3 different days) and was so flexible in accommodating our needs, even with getting our games for our picnic fun day! All of our guests had a great time, but more importantly, an amazing experience! The wedding reflected our characters and personalities - trendy, casual and most importantly, fun! She sourced the right vendors and managed to get good rates. She made our wedding day one of the most memorable events! To say the very least, Christine is just truly amazing!

le and grace and never breaks a sweat. She can compliment your ideas or open your eyes to what's new and trendy. She will cover every aspect of your big day and you will never find her in your way. I was able to ENJOY my 2nd wedding with nothing to worry or even think about.She has a take charge attitude and just gets it done. The answer to any question that day was "Ask Christine". My wedding was 5 years ago and this year she handled my sons Bar Mitzvah, again, repeat performance. As a working mom and executive I always knew she had it covered. Her attention to detail is incredible. The party was a tremendous success. Once again, every detail handled, I enjoyed every minute! She is a true "pro" and an absolute delight to work with. She is a gift!
