Cristen & Co.

Cristen and Marissa are absolutely incredible! Our May 26, 2018 wedding was a dream! I seriously don’t know where I would be without Cristen! They made every aspect of our wedding picture perfect. Cristen worked with us to design and hand pick vendors and so much more! I had to clue how much detail it took to put together a “Pinterest” perfect wedding and I would have been completely lost without her. I had my incredible dream venue and she made the rest of my vision come to life. She made the wedding planning process such a breeze! I have guest still commenting on how our wedding was the most beautiful and unique wedding that they have ever been too! Everyone had such a blast and we are forever thankful for being a part of the Cristen & Co. family!

Our South Shore MA wedding for 100 was under a tent on a rainy day and it went FLAWLESS because Cristen and her team (yeah Marissa) were amazing! Their planning, foresight, choice of vendors and calm execution made the day fun, memorable, and so special. I truly left many, many decisions to them and all went to so well. If you go with this amazing team . . . let them work and TRUST them, it will go well, no it will go great! Every detail was thought through. No glitches. Even the rain on our day was no match for this team. Thank you Cristen for making our day . . .OUR DAY!

Where do I begin? First of all, this is a long overdue review for our September 2017 200 person wedding in Cape Cod, MA. I seriously don't know what my family and I would've done without Cristen. We came to her over a year from our wedding with a very clear vision of what we were looking for, but didn't have the clue how we would execute (let me also add that my husband and I live in San Francisco, and we were married in Cape Cod). We wanted a "glorified, backyard party" and we got just that and way more. Many of our friends/guests commented on how beautiful and unique it was. I also should add that for a 200 person wedding on Cape Cod we had a tight budget, and Cristen worked within the budget and created a truly magical evening. Since we did it at a family friends property, we had to source ALL of our vendors and Cristen used her network to identify quality, affordable vendors and they all went above and beyond for us. Cristen and her team are truly fantastic, I dont think I could've ever dreamed up what Cristen was able to put together (and my husband was pretty happy too! haha). Thank you, Cristen & Co! We can't recommend her enough.

Let me just start by saying, I genuinely don't know what we would have done without Cristen. I AM SO SERIOUS. Cristen made our August 20th wedding day the most perfect, beautiful and stress free day I have ever experienced. Upon our initial conversation, Cristen revealed to me a number of very important things that I had no idea I needed to do for our wedding. Needless to say, it was very clear that we absolutely had to book her otherwise our wedding day would have been pure and utter chaos. So we did and it was the best decision ever! We booked Cristen for her style and design and month of services. Cristen took the time to get to know my husband and I in order to really cater the style of our wedding to match our personalities. Seriously, even our signature drinks were perfect representations of our personalities! She listened to what we liked and helped me pull all of my crazy design ideas out of my head and put them on paper for us to really see what our wedding could look like. Then, she made it come to life. OUR WEDDING DAY WAS BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY SINGLE WAY. She kept me on track which was the most important thing to me (as you can tell from my 3 month late review). She was honest and she told me no when I needed to hear it. There really are no words to describe how much of an impact she had on us. Towards the end of our perfect night, I remember coming across Cristen and crying my eyes out thanking her for all that she did. I could not stop thanking her and the emotion that came out of me was so genuine. There truly are no words to describe how much Cristen means to my husband and I for all that she did for us. She is smart, talented and so purely dedicated to making her brides and grooms happy, it's amazing. We loved our wedding day and area already planning renewing our vows so Cristen can throw us one more AMAZING party. We love you, Cristen. Thank you so much.

WOW! Finding Cristen was easily the luckiest and best thing that happened in our wedding planning process. Without her, our wedding would have looked completely different and not nearly as spectacular. She knew our style better than we did, and her vision is unmatched. I couldn't have dreamed of a wedding as beautiful as the one she planned. There were so many gorgeous details that were woven together throughout the wedding - We had welcome boxes to match our boxed invitations and lucite table numbers to match the lucite backing on our invites! Her organization was invaluable - she put together all the pieces of our wedding, making it stress-free for us and our guests, making everything run seamlessly. We could all relax knowing that she had everything under control. People commented that I was a calm bride, but I have Cristen to thank for that. Thanks to Cristen, we had a fabulous time, our guests had a fabulous time, and we had endless compliments on our wedding from people who normally wouldn't notice wedding details. She came into the middle of a messy planning process with no budget and lots of conflicting viewpoints, and she made everything come together beautifully. She took the time to make sure everyone was comfortable with things. Her attention to detail helped us to save more than $7000! Furthermore, and probably most importantly, Cristen was wonderful to work with. I knew that Cristen was just as invested in our wedding as we were, which was incredible and way more than we could've asked for! Cristen went above and beyond at all times, fielding all sorts of anxious questions. She was there for me during times of extreme stress, and she, along with her mom, Sheila, became a friend and confidante during the process, a part of the new family we were creating. As I look back on the photos and think back on our big day, I am endlessly grateful for Cristen & Co, and I can't recommend them more enthusiastically! Working with Cristen was the best decision ever to make our wedding the best day ever. <3

Cristen is an absolutely fantastic wedding planner! Not only does she have extensive knowledge about the wedding industry, she also has strong relationships with several vendors. Cristen worked within the budget that we provided her and exhibited creative problem-solving skills, all while pulling off a beautiful wedding that we are still hearing rave reviews about. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and that’s what really sets her apart from her competition. Not a single detail goes overlooked and her professionalism shines as she anticipates and solves potential problems before they even have a chance to arise. On the day of the wedding, Cristen worked tirelessly to set up the venue and dealt with any and all issues by herself so as to not “stress out” the bride or groom. She made sure that the ceremony and reception ran seamlessly and was the last person in the tent packing decorations, flowers and even transporting gifts to the bride and groom’s hotel room. Bottom line, Cristen is an absolutely phenomenal wedding planner. If you hire Cristen, you will not receive the “run of the mill” wedding planner that you may be envisioning, you will receive an individual who is deeply committed to her craft and who will do everything in her power to make sure your special day is the best it could ever be. Thank you, Cristen, for helping us pull off the best day of our lives – make Cristen your wedding planner, you will not regret it!

Where to start? Cristen took on our wedding that we had decided to plan in only 7 weeks. When we had been recommended Cristen via Warehouse XI (check them out too!), we had 5 weeks left to plan the wedding...and we had barely found a venue. Cristen walked through every detail with us, helped calm our nerves, and was our eyes and ears on the ground as it was a destination wedding. Cristen has great relationships with other vendors in the area. She is personable and has the credibility to get the best out of everyone she chooses to work with, and she doesn't work with just anyone. This was exceedingly obvious in our case as, since our wedding was on such a tight timeline, there was no room for error. Whether it was our rentals or our flowers, everyone went above and beyond for our wedding because they knew that Cristen could steer this 5-week long adventure. When I called to inquire about the wedding venue that we ended up selecting, I was told directly, "You need to call Cristen, she's done this kind of thing before and she can pull it off. " (I'm doing my best to quote directly.) Our wedding was at the caliber of a wedding planned in a year all done in 5 weeks because Cristen decided to use her magic to make our wedding something for the books. I joked that worst case scenario my fiancé and I would just get married in a TGI Friday's and without Cristen, it probably would have been. Cristen paid for herself time and time again whether it be in rental discounts or simply the reduction of stress knowing we had an expert on our side. Cristen has a community of excellent artisans and entrepreneurs surrounding her and you can tell they all enjoy each other's company. Being taken care of her and the community she put around us felt like having even more family for our wedding. Cristen is your life coach, your friend, your counselor, your accountant, and your stylist all in one. She made our day incredible and I hope other brides get the chance to work with someone as capable as her.
